JOYS OF APPLE PIE.
Other Pies Have Their Season. But
Apple is Standard.
(Haryey Sutherland in Ainslee,s.)


Harvey Sutherland in Ainslee's.)
But apples You take good, sharp,
juicy winter apples and pare them and
quarter and core them and slice them
and stew them on the wellworked and
we'll shortened undercrust, made out
of good winter wheat -four. and put
in n little sweet butter and just enough
sugar and Il Glove or two and nutmeg
and cinnamon and maybe n little lemon
peel ana then fix on the cover and take
n caseknife and trim off the super
nous dough around the rim and pinch
up the edge With your thumb and
iinScr all around to make it look pretty
and cash the top something like n leaf
so as to let out the steam and then set
IT in an oven that bakes Just right, top
and bottom, and let il stay there till it
browns the right shade. and l tell you
you've got n pie that is a pie. And
when ma opens the oven door to see
how II Is getting along. there is such
n nice smell all through the house
wait Il second till / swallow: I'm most
choked-and it seems as if you just
couldn't wait till dinner time comes
OH yes; ] guess warm apple pie IS
about right. And cold apple pie can be
got down, especially If there is n piece
of cheese on the plate beside 1t, this
kind of cheese that is all crumbiy and
has about million little stickers In 1t.
Apple pie is always in style. Go in
to restaurant and ask for Il cut of
standard. and the waiter Will bring
you piece of apple pie. He knows
what standard pie is. There are times
in the year when other kinds make a
squirt and run on ahead n little, but ap-
pie pie keeps jogging on, and by and
by 1T overtakes them. This month
mince pie is in the lead because il is
Christmas and that e
doN Christmas article of diet. Last
month pumpkin pie had the call be-
cause it was Thanksgiving time. Next
spring when pieplants come in-some
people call it rhubarb, but that always
sounds stuck up, and like you were
trying to show off-everybody will eat
pie plant because il is good for the
blood. In the summer peach pie will
forge away 10 the front. and I'll never
tell you why. But Just as / say, apple
pie keeps jogging on and in me long
run wins the race. l mean the right
kind of apple pie. Once in while you
will meet somebody that is always try
ing to be different from anybody else.
and he will go on about English deep
apple pie and how superior it is to the
common. vulgar thing we eat because
we don't know any better. Well Eng
fish deep apple pie is good; | don't
deny that. IT can't help being good
gu COOK apples almost any way, and
they're not bad eating. but law mel
when you put them in a crock and
turn little cup upside down in the
middle of them and cover 1t all over
with lid of pastry. that isn't pie al
all. It's just stewed apples. Don't
you see that you must have bottom
of pastry and that there is just pro-
portion of crust to filing that must not
be deviated from one iota of your pie
is inartistic and an offense against the
laws of taSte?"
Virginian-pilot. (Norfolk, Va.) 1898-1911, 1900-12-16

Teen minutes when he had him marked.
some time later Vreeland received q
telegram from Whitney asking him to
be at the office of the Broadway and
Seventh Avenue Railroad that day at
O'Clock. There was no train on the
schedule which would get him into
New York in time to make the ap-
pointment. But by this time he was
assistant general manager, and had
pull enough to order n special train.
He reached the office on time. He had
been waiting for quite while when
clerk came up to him and asked:
Are you Mr.. Vreeland?'
"'ThatS my name said Vreeland.
We'll, Mr.. Whitney is waiting for
you inside.
'Vreeland was taken in and intro
duced to the board of directors of the
West Houston Street and Pavonia
Ferry Railway, who had Just elected
him president to fiji the vacancy caus-
ed by the resignation of John Grim
minis. The street lines 1ncluded in this
road were all badly equipped and poor
ly handled. 1t was question of re-
construction that just appealed to Vree-
land because 1t was difficult. He
grasped the situation at once and
within u few months had the prop
erty moving in the right direction. In
speaking to one OF his associates at
this time, he said: I'D rather do this
money was not far Off.
To-day Vreeland is president of the
Metropolitan Street hallway and is
considered the highest authority on
surface traction in this country.
Then there was George Il. NJ. Har-
vey. Whitney had gained control of all
the main arteries of surface traction
excepting the Third Avenue line. He
began maneuvers TO secure that. Plan
ming to beat the price of the stock
down. he made a newspaper campaign
and picked Harvey up as his press
agent. Harvey was then managing
editor of The World on Il small salary.
Today he is worth probably half mil
lion. and is owner of the North Ameri-
can Review. but strangely enough has
gone over to the Morgan camp. Mean
while. Whitney had banged Third Ave-
nue. so effectively that the price of the
stock had been cut in two. All this
time Nreeland had been studying the
property. When il was placed in the
hands of a receiver. Vreeland secured
access to the statements. which he ate
up in short order. After a day or two
of digestion he said to his chief:
Now. Mr.. Whitney, is the time to
buy.
And Buy was the slogan for all in
sidcrs.
With characteristic finesse. the
Whitney crowd worked the market
potn WHY'S. some OF tnc SnrcWneSt men
in the street thought that the Whitney
people were selling. But no one seemed
to know what was going on.
1T was Il smooth deal. The Whitney
people bought the road at n lower price
than they had previously offered to the
owners. They got in Mt about 10 and
now the stock is quoted at ll2. In tes-
timony Of their appreciation of Vree-
lands work in this deal the Whitney
syndicate sent him 4 check for 500 900.

George L. Fielder in Ainslee's.)

george l.. Fielder in Ainslee's.)
The career OF II. II. Vreeland is as
dramatic as n play. He began as a
section man on the Long Island Rail
road, became a brakeman and then got
employment on what is now known as
the Putnam Road. One day William c.
Whsthey was making tour of inspec-
Gals. He began to question the officials
of the company on details of the
roads business. To almost every cues
ton. they replied lamely, Guess you'd
better ask Vreeland about that.
"Who is Vreeand?' said Whitney
Hes the. conductor
Vreeland was sent for and Whitney
found him a tall raw boned man with
a square jaw and fine. regular white
teeth. which showed continually while
he answered a rapid fire OF questions.
Whitney hadn't talked with him If

The University pipe organ has ar
rived and is ready to be installed. 1t
has been at the depot since Wedues-
day but on account of the music
school recital it has not been trans
ferred to the Commencement Hall as
yet. The work of placing it in the
Hall will be begun at once and it will
be gotten ready for the Convocation

versity.
DR.. Rnhl's engagement at the Uni
versity will be concluded With the
close of the present month. He has
been lecturing at the University on
veterinarian subjects for the past three
months and has proven TO be quite an
acquisition to the faculty. He was
asked about the rumor that he intend
ed to locate in Morgantown. He
stated that he did not intend TO come
unless the Board of Regents make
the department a permanent one.
This will come before them at the
June meeting Of the Board. A rec
ommendation TO that effect will be
made by Prof. Atkeson dean of the
department and DR.. Raymond presi
dent Of the University.
The baseball boys are hard at work

Come Here from Warrington.

Kellar IL Jolliff have rented the
Wilmington store room for three
years at an approximate rate of sew
en- hundred dollars a year. The
deal was closed between the new pur-
chasers and the firm last night. Mr..
Kellar had come in from Manning
ton on the morning train to look af
ter this.
The firm will remove from Man
nington and will open fine store in
the room as soon as they have dis
posed of the rest of the Wilmington
stock. There has been some doubt
about their coming for the past few
weeks but they have finally decided
to leave Warrington and come to
Morgantown. Everyone here will
be glad to welcome them to the town.
They have made many friends since
they started in the business of sell
ing off the old stock that they bought
of the trustees of Wilmington.

LAST ENTERTAINMENT
or The Season. Trip To Chinatown
at The Opera House.

When Hoyt's name is preflxed to a
theatrical attraction, look out for a
performance that is excellent, and
theatre-goers can prepare for a feast of
laughter, and they can also rely upon
seeing something that is new in the
comedy line.
Next Tuesday evening at the Opera
House this popular playwright will pre-
sent his famous "a Trip to China
town" revised and brought up to date
and this means that every particle of
music and every speciality will be new,
while many of the lines will bristle
with new Hoytian filings; the scenery
and costumes more dazzling than ever
before, and the cast, which will be
seen this time, has been pronounced
by far the best and most talented ever
seen in Hoyt Comey.
Harry Gilfoil, recognized as the
leading comedian Of the Hoyt & Nc
Kee forces, will head the cast, and he
will be seen in the role Of Well and
Strong e. NJ. Hall, the widely
known minstrel comedian and eminent
banJoist, has been especially engaged
for the part of The Waiter. Mable
Montgomery will play the part of the
Widow; Harry Mustager. as Willie
Grow: Eleanor Falk, one of the clever
est delineators of Partisan songs and
''coon" opera now before the public,
has scored most emphatic hit as
Flirt: Gus p. Thomas. another of the
original cast, has been engaged for his
old part, that of Rashleigh Gay; Finn
Reynolds, is the Ben Gay; Emile Gar
diner, late prima donna with the Jax-
son Opera Company, is the Tony Gay,
and Maud Wynn Of the Bostonians is
the Isabelle: George Shields, and Will
Philbrick, the champion cake walker
are the cast.
Alex Spencer, so long directing the
musical department for Hoyt & Nc
Kee, is travelling with the company
and will personally direct the orches-
ira.
The scenery and stage accessories
are said to surpass, in extravaganza
and elegance, those Of the original
production. Mr.. Arthur Voegtlin,
scenic artist at Hoyt's Theatre, New
York, painted the original and he has
made many Improvements in the seem
cry used in the revival OF "a Trip TO

WANT DATE CHANGED.
For Meeting of Republican Convention
at Fairm0nt.

The Republican State Central
Committee has been requested to
change the date for the meeting of
the convention at Fairmont to nom
mate delegates to the National con
vention. The request was made by
the people of Fairmont, for the rea-
son that the annual conclave of the
Grand Commandery of the Knights
Templar will be held there May 9th,
the next day after the convention is
scheduled to meet, and there could
not be made ample accommodation
for both. The change will probably
be made after Chairman Dawson has
had time to consult with the other
members of the committee.
