They Were Not Farsighted.
From the New York Tribune.

year of the twentieth century they would
have laid out all the streets and avenues

A SUGGESTION TO COOKS.

Bake Your Christnsas Turkey with

fowl. The best way to prepare a turkey is
to bake 1t with the breast down. learned
this lesson from Nine. Begue, whose place,
down in the Old Quarter near the French
market, In New Orleans, has become famed
all over the country. She never thinks of
baking turkey with the breast up. The
breast is turned to the bottom of the pan.
and instead of being dry and tasteiess when
it Is served it is richly favored and as
sweet and juicy as one would care to have
it.
You see. all the fine favoring of the

SUSPICIOUS DEATHS.
Four Members of One Family Have
Died Within a Month.

BOSTON, Mass, Aug. S1.-A special
from Cataumet to the Herald says: 1T is
rather unusual for four persons in one
family to meet death within a period of
one month. Yet this occurred in the case
of MI. and Mrs. Alden Z. Davis and their
two daughters, Mrs. Irving Gibbs and
Mrs. Henry Gordon, the latter Of Chicago,
the deaths taking place only a few weeks
ago. Someone started a rumOr that these
persons, or at least two of them, did not
die from natural causes. Finally the dis
trict attorney ordered an investigation
and Joseph ID. Whitney, of the State
police force, was instructed to conduct an
autopsy on the bodies of Mrs. Gordon and
Mrs. Gibbs. An undertaken eXhumed the
bodies yesterday and an autopsy was held
in the presence of Medical Examiner
Faunce, State Detective Whitney, Prof.
Whitney and Professor Wood, of Harvard
College.
While Professor Wood had undoubtedly
been requested by Capt Paul Gibbs to at
tend the autopsy, he was also present as
an expert employed by the State and to his
custody were intrusted the organs of the
two bodies for chemical analysis. This, in
the minds of many, shows that the author
the Jacin House, which was the home of
the Davis family, was set on fire four or
five times during the interval between the
death of Mrs. Davis and her younger
daughter, is considered as having an i'm
pOrtant bearing on the case. Whether the
bodies of Mr.. and Mrs. Davis are to be
Xhumed depends on the result Of the au-
topsy held yesterday. The result of the
autopsy performed will not be made
known for several days"

other. 1t is shown that the British, French,
German, Japanese, Russian, Italian, Span
ish and Swedish navies have adopted wire
less telegr2phy 70 a greater or lesser ex-
tent.

the seven principal navies of the world, a
table is submitted showing the following
total tonnage of ships built, building, and
