UP GOES THE PRICE OF OIL;
ROCKEFELLER NEEDS MONEY
GOAL Famine Makes a Greater Demand for
Kerosene, So He Reaps a Harvest.
Ter needs the money.

John D. Rockefeller needs the money
So he has put up the price of oil one cent a gallon.
All tho Standard Oil Company has made this year in dividends is
S5 100000.
Last year 1t made $4,000 900.
BY putting up the price Of oil John D. Rockefeller and his friends can
bring 1t up to s5OO0O0O0.
And that is the why Of the advance in OIL
1t ws a secret advance.
Notices were received yesterday by wholesalers and retailers.
The consumers get their notices when they go to buy the oil.
The Standard Oil Company is selling more oil than 1t we sold before
The increased sales are caused by the coal strike.
sanre the beginning of the strike the price OF oil has gone up 8 12
cents a gallon.
The scarcer coal got the higher went the price OF oil.
Now that there is no coal-apOther advance.
If John D. Rockefeller needs more money kerosene will soon be as e-
pensive a s violet water.
Consumers of oil abroad n not included in the latest advance.
There is competition abroad.
John D. Rockefeller controls over so per cent. of the petroleum output
of the United States.
An Evening World reporter went to the Standard Oil Offices to-day to
ask Mr.. Rockefeller why he put up the price OF oil.
Thousands Of poor people who are using oil since they have been
unable to get coal would like to know.
The reporter ws met by a negro ONCE boy.
The negro Office boy refused to take the reporters card to Mr. Rookie
Teller.
It looks a though the poor would have to be content With the advice
of John D. Rockefeller. jE, to his Bible class.
John D, jr, advises the poor to be reconcIled to their lot

missing under unusual circumstances,
and the police we're asked this morning
20 look for her.
The woman, who Is only twenty-five
years old, has been employed at the
hotel for some time and was highly
thought OF by her employers and asso-
clates. She always appeared to be of
sound mind until yesterday. when she
acted peculiarly.
1t was noticed a few weeks ago that
the girl was much admired by a u
bartender employed in the hotel. It
was evident that the liking was recipro-
cal. They had not, however, become very
we'll acquainted when the bartender left
tho service OF the hotel. Yesterday he
called and had a talk with her and left
his new address. After the young
mans departure Miss Finn was exces-
sively happy. She sang and danced and
caused m by her lack OF re-
straint. About 4 o'clock she left the
hotel.
In the early evening she entered the
Church of the Redeemer, on Third street,
we rlTSl ana second avenues,
where a mission for men was In prog
ress, and attracted the attention of the
congregation. She ordered men about
in a loud voice and was finally told by
q priest to leave the church. She re-
fused to go and would not listen to per-
s~uasion. She was finally removed by
force. 1t required six men to put her
out.
She was treated kindly. and when It
was learned that she was employed at
the Broadway Central Hotel she was
taken there, Night Clerk George Holmes
had her placed in a room at the hotel
under guard and sent a messenger to
Brooklyn to relatives. He wished to
consult them before having her sent 10

About II o'clock, while a porter wa
watching the young woman, she dashed
by him, out OF the room and down the
corridor OF the hotel to the street. The
porter followed and ran ten blocks up
Broadway in pursuit. but failed to catch
her. Despite the iciness of the sidewalk
she ran like a deer and outdistanced her
pursuer.
She is described as 5 feet 6 inches in
height, with dark complexion and hair.

Justice MacLean, of the Supreme

which would serve to extract dollars

the animal.
This was the last OF a long list
among the animals which Capt. Pull

but, to Gao the climax, early this
morning. while the ship was lying
IN the East River. a vicious civet

other valuable monkey OF the black

duel. bit his paw nearly in half.
When the ship was finally berthed the
injured monkey lay huddled UP in n

At his hoad perched a pet white paro-

everyday occurrence, Is given but little
attention. Because Dyspepsia Ia not immc-
diately fatal. many people do nothing for
the trouble.
II Is now well known among able physl-
cians that the whole constitution is Eradu-
ally undermined and weakened. that the
nerves and vital organs are seriously AFFECT

as every organ. every nerve, in the body Il

THE TOOTHSOME SHAD,
How to Plank THIS Delicious Fish.
Proper Way to Serve.

fFoptr why 10 serve.
There is no better method of cooking
n delicate fish, such as shad or Spanish
mackercl, than that method known as
planking. The plank itself is matter
of great Importance, not that 1t need be
of one special sort of wood, for the
choice lies between cedar, oak, ash and
hickory. some authorities recommend
ing one. some another. The general
consensus OF opinion seems to point
toward white oak board about an
inch and n half in thickness. Its 9th
cr dimensions should of course be out
side the limits of any fish which shall
he cooked upon it.
A new board-that Is, one that has
stlll woodsy flavor clnging to it
may not be used. Time must have
ripencd 1t, or, in other words, It must
be well seasoned. Round about the
edge of the upper surface groove
should serve the purpose OF catching
the juices from the looking fish. For
the first and the second and even the
third cooking the plank somehow falls
to live up to its reputation. 1t Is only
when from repeated BOOKINGS the board
has become enriched with the juice
of fish that 1t imparts the required
flavor to the fine shad intrusted to 1t.
Months are none too short Il time to
give to this seasoning of the wood.
Once brought TO the proper state, how
ever, 1t remains perfect for years and
years.
The fish are not only cooked upon
the plank. but served upon 1t as well.
Never wash the fish plank. Rub II
with dry cloth and sandpaper It;
then, If you wish. dust 1t Off with
some powdered lemon rind Soap and
water would he disastrous If applied,
for the mixture of favors would be
far from good. In preparing shad
for planking split II open, wipe 1t dry
and II possible remove the backbone.
Now place the fish, skin side down,
upon the plank and tack 1t down.
Spread the fish with butter and season
1t with salt and pepper. 1t should
cook In a hot oven or before n very
hot FIRE. With the gas broilcr that
cooks from above 1t Is very easy to
hrol the fish. putting board and all
under the blaze and leaving ii there 20
minutes. If baked, five minutes Ion
ger should be allowed.
When It IL done, add some bits OF
butter, n little more salt and a sprin-
king of paprika. one Tablespoonful OF
minced parsley and two tablespoonfuls
Of white wine. Remove the tacks. Place
the plank on n Japanned tray few
Inches larger than the board Itself anu
serve with the fish cucumber sauce.

How Do YOu Pronounce "DOCso

How do you pronounce dog" The
chances are that, II you are an average
Massachusetts citizen, you pronounce
the 80" rather broad, like 90" in song.
The Century Dictionary, which is a
very indulgent dictionary indeed, al
lows you to pronounce 1t so If you
wish, but no other dictionary does.
You should really sound the 80" as in
not. Likewise how do you pronounce
'hog" Even the Century won't let
you say "hawg." This reminds me
that q friend has written the following
beautiful but abstruse poem:
MY HOG AND MY DOG.
