BURKE INDICTED.
oil Inspector of Chicago Accused of
 Stealing $14,o00.

Chicago, H., October 5.-The grand jury tonight voted two indictments against Robert E. Burke, city oil in- spector. The charge is embezzlement of the funds of his office, and in one instance a shortage of $14,000 Is al- legged and in the other 5000 Is said to be missing.
 Several days ago representatives of the Standard oil Company told the grand jury that they paid as fees to Burke in his capacity of city oil inspector certain sums of money, which the grand jury could not find in the inspectors accounts with the city. The matter was taken up again tooay, and after long investigation 1t was found that there was in one case a shortage of $14,000 between the amount paid by the Standard oil Com pany and that reported in the receipts of the office by Burke. The item of $9 900 was found in the same manner.
 Burke is chairman of the Demo- cratic County Central Committee, and is one of the leading Democratic poli- ticians in Chicago. He has held the office of oil inspector ever since Car ter Harrison has been Mayor of Chi cago, and is regarded as the closest political friend of Mayor Harrison. strong efforts were made during the day by Burke and his friends to pre- vent his indictment. Burke, before the indictments were returned, paid into the office of the State attorney $30,000 to cover any shortages that might be found in his accounts, and late this evening prominent Demo- cratic politicians made strong efforts to have the jury return no indict- ments because of the payments of money made by Burke. Their efforts were in vain, however, and the indict- ments were found. Burke was not ar- rested tonight and could not be found at his home. There will be no diff culty about his arrest tomorrow or Monday, however, as he will surren- der himself with his bondsmen.

pr. Andrew Wilson and the late Sir w. Roberts, M. D., of England. have gone into the question of after dinner coffee drinking, and the effects Tn general of food accessories on digestion.
 Some persons have argued that coffee is an antidote to alcohol and, therefore, served after dinner-black as a rule. be- cause it Is more potent-in order to op- pose the effects of liations, or just to sober people and make them fit to join the ladies'"
 Beyond this decidedly low view of the use of coffee after dinner lies another and a broader aspect. To understand this further phase of the question one must refer to the scientific investigation which teaches us the effects exerted by coffee (and by tea also) on the work of diges- tion in the stomach. Long ago Dr. J. w. Frazer published his researches on meat" or high" teas. those indiscrimi- nate meals that partake of the hybrid character of dinner combined, and which are, or should be, the abomination of every we'll regulated physiological mind. Dr. Fraser found that with the exception of salt foods all other articles of diet had their digestion retarded when tea and coffee were taken. Nobody doubts, therefore, that the after-dinner coffee will slow digestion, and interfer with the due performance of the stomach's work.
 Some authorities deal with the ques- ton from much wider point of view than that which might tempt anyone to argue that coffee and tea are of neces- sity injurious items in the series of diet accessories. Looking at the list of these

 Then, massage Is useful. If there Is a competent masseur or masseuse at hand, he or she may be employed to give a reg ular course of treatment, care being taken to insist on the movements being made slowly. If there is no trained assistant at hand, there may be some one who can be taught how to rub the head and the feet As hypnotic, rubbing the feet very slowly and evenly is about as good as anything. It may take a long while even an hour-but. as a rule, after a hot bath, If 1t Is done slowly and evenly, the patient will be quiet in very few min utes and will sleep in from quarter to half an hour.

 The court then retired for consultation and afte few minutes returned, making the following announcement through Ad- miral Dewey:
 "The court decided that any clippings from newspapers which form a part of the correspondence between Admiral Schley and Lieutenant-C Commander Hodg- son should properly be read" Should Not Be in Record.

 After the further reading of letters and before the entire correspondence had been exhibited, the court at o'clock adjourned 1 until Monday.

If people can't sleep these scientific bits of advice may aid them. Drugs should only be taken when all natural methods fail.
 First comes the digestion. Any disor- ders affecting it should be attended to be- fore the sleeplessness question is taken up. Then come the simple, so-called home remidies that are not always thought of at home but which are frequently suf- ficient.
 First of all should be mentioned we'll ventilated room. not heated above 60 de- grees Fahrenheit; 55 degrees is better for an ordinary adult Old people require more heat. The bed clothing should not be too heavy. Use blankets rather than quilts and comforters. They do not weigh as much. for the same amount of warmth
 Try counting plain numbers or sheep leaping over a wall. or repeating over and over again some meaningless phrase.
 If this is insufficient, try bathing. Either hot or cold plung is frequently effica- cious. Care must be taken not to pro- long the bath too much. If there is not bathtub, one may use the sponge bath or the foot bath. The latter is frequently of use when made hot with a drachm or two of mustard added. Then. after a brisk rubbing down. the patient is ready for bed
 Bathing should be absolutely the last thing done. There should be no further duties of any sort not even to go to see $-S<-<-<<<<<<<<<< ever. did not disclose 1t to the seventy five cabin passengers The surgeons said the patient was suffering from consump- tion, and she died at 2:35 a. m. today.
 It was learned tonight through the other woman that Miss Hall had resided abroad about ten years and met her com panion, Giusseppina Poriana, in Milan about three years ago. According to the story Miss Hall decided that men get along better in the world than women and so adopted male costume. She trav- eled thus with the other for two years and as she was an artist went about the art centers painting and working at her profession. When she decided to come home she asked the Italian woman to &C., company her.

JEwLER COMMITS SUICIDE.
Had $5,0o0 Worth of Jewels In HIs
 Possession.

Chicago, H., October 5.-With $5 ,OOO worth of diamonds in his possession, D. W. Dickie, jeweler, who lived at the Kimball Hotel, committed suicide tonight near the Grant monument in Lincoln Park. A park policeman heard pistol shot in the direction of the monument, and, after searching for twenty minutes in the darkness, came upon the body of Dickie lying upon a bench just south of the statue.
 Dickie was about 55 years of age. Little could be learned about him to- night. It is thought, however, that he has not been in Chicago for a great while. The directory states only that he is jeweler, but does not tell his place of business.

Washington Cor Chicago Tribune.
 One of the most important of the con ferences at the White House was that between the President and Representative Babcock of Wisconsin. chairman of the Republican Congressional committee. The tariff was naturally the topic. par ticuiarly with reference to the scheme of MT. Babcock for reduction of the tariff on articles controlled by trusts.
 The President is much in earnest on the subject of reciprocity. but the Wisconsin Representatives took the ground that, while reciprocity would have an imme- diate beneficial effect on foreign trade, it would not reach the domestic situation.

BOIL EGGS IN COLD WATER.
Proper Way to Cook Them. Says the Emanci.
pated Young Woman,

'~''~'''
"This egg tastes as if it had been
boiled in hot water" said the emanci-
pated young woman with the short
hair. "Ican always tell in a minute
if an egg has been cooked in that way"
Her companion had not learned
80 many things, and was quite salts
fed with her egg. She only muir.
INJURED softly:
81 never heard of an egg boiled in
cold water, did you?"
at is high time you were intro
duced to this institution" her wise
friend continued, "and I am delighted
to illuminate you even at the risk of
abusing more of your sarcasm. An
egg to be boiled properly for human
consumption, should be put into cold
water and then placed over the fire.
Then it cooks with the water. The
egg cooks, moreover, thoroughly and
from the inside.
"Ask physician or trained nurse
how to boil an egg SO that its greatest
nutriment and flavor shall be pre-
served. Either of them will tell you
to put it in cold water. The old way
of dropping the egg into boiling water
has long been given up. 1t used to
cook the egg suddenly and destroy
its flavor.

haven't heard of the country's ad-
vance,"
