A BRAVE MAN.
Roatswnin Deery. who Saved the Tor
pedo Boat Adder. Will be Conn
mended TO the President for Per-
forming an Heroic Feat.

nv II eNts
Norfolk, Va, Dec. 5.-The naval
tug Peoria, towing the submarine
torpedo boat Adder, has arrived at
the navy yard here. The Adder was
saved by the heroism of Boatswain
Deery, who responded to call for
volunteers and swan 100 yards with
line to the Adder from the tug and
pulled hawser after him. The Moe
casin is ashore at Currituck and APP
pears to be only slightly damaged.
The Adder is leaking badly.
When Boatswain Deery responded
to the call for volunteer to swim
to the Adder, a 34-mile gale, with
mountainous seas, was crashing over
the Peoria and burying the drifting
submarine boats beneath tons of
water. Deery, with slender line
fastened around his waist, plunged
into the ocean and battled with wind
and tide for n full hundred yards,
finally reaching the Adder and gain
ing her deck. There he hauled a
thick hawser aboard by means of the
lifeline and made it fast.
At this time the Adder was being
tossed about like cork one minute,
and driven far beneath the surface
the next, rolling and wallowing in
such manner as to make it almost
impossible to retain position upon
her scanty decking, but Deery held
on and accomplished his work. Then
he went back to the tug hand over
hand on the hawser.
1t is said at the navy yard that
Boatswain Deery will be commended
nf 10 e.
Lieut.. English, commander of the
Peoria, says the little boats towed
very well until the were just off the
Virginia capes.
There the heavy seas running at
the time proved too much for the
frail towing bits of the Adder, which
was towing first, following the tug.
They snapped short and the two sub
marine vessels went adrift.
The Peoria sought to catch them.
but they drifted southwark before
the wind rapidly. There were only
the broken bits on which to get
hold, so the tug could only run in be-
tween them and keep them from
humping together.
The seas were running entirely too
high for the tug to run alongside the
boats, and it would have been suici-
dal to have lowered a boat. All the
Peoria could do, therefore, was to
keep the boats apart.
All night this continued and then
the line between the boats snapped.
1t was then that Boatswain Deery,
who comes from Brooklyn, perform
ed his heroic act in last attempt to
save the boats. After he had made
fast his line to the Adder and sue
ceeded at the risk of his life in re-
gaining the tug, consideration was
given to anchoring the Moccasin, but
1t was seen that it would be impos-
sible to anchor her. The tug could
handle only one o. the boats in the
heavy seas. The Yankton appeared
and the Moccasin was left to her,
while the Peoria fought her way up
the coast with the Adder.

CURIOUS FOOD COMPOUND.
Old Bones, Alum, Flint and sulph 7-ic
Acid for Raising Bread.

Housekecpers have recently been So
licited by some of the grocers and by
peddlers to try another kind of baking
powder-"cheaper and Just as good" as
they say. This is another scheme Of
some baking powder manufacturer to
get a new brand on the market by offer
ing the grocer a large profit. House
keepers are not usually much benefited
by such changes. Alum baking pow-
ders are generally low priced, but they
are we'll known to be detrimental to
health. Large quantities of one of
them were recently seized in New York,
being found to be largely composed of
sharp-pointed grains of ground flint
and sulphuric acid!
Most Of the so-called phosphate pow
ders are mixed with alum The manu-
facturer Of phosphate powder has pat
ented the process of making the princi-
pal ingredient Of his powder from bones
digested with sulphuric acid.
Housekeepers do not want such mix
lures in their food. They should never
encourage peddlers nor admit testers
or alleged eXperimenters in food within
their doors. and when buying baking
powder should get brand well known
to be made Of cream of tartar, which Is
healthful product of the grape.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
Prices of Commodities Average ? Per
Cent. Less than a Year Ago.

New York, Dec. 5.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Trade is seasonably quiet, except in
the lines affected by weather and
those embracing holiday goods, which
are in good demand. Activity is es-
pecially conspicuous among footwear
jobbers and retailers. Commodities
are generally lower in price, although
a few important articles such as cot
ton, eggs and dairy products have
risen sharply. For the year there is
decline of about . per cent.
Manufacturing conditions are still
irregular, the best symptom of the
week being the steadiness of iron
and steel. Textile mills still find it
difficult to secure prices in proper
ratio to the raw material the violent
advance in cotton adding to the en-
barrassment of spinners who have
only limited supplies on hand. Rail
way earnings in three weeks of No
vember were AS per cent larger than
year previous.
Several encouraging reports are re-
ceived regarding the iron and steel
situation. In most cases the proposed
reductions in wages have met with no
opposition and such business as
comes forward is handled without in
terruption. Another good sign is
that the past week has brought no
further reductions in prices. Steel
mills have received several fair con-
tracts for structural shapes and rail
way supplies.
Failures this week were 331,
against 204 for the corresponding
week last year.

London, Dec. 4.-The Board of
Trade Journal for December prints
a warning to British manufacturers
from Seymour Bell, the British com
mercial agent in the United States,
prophesying an extensive invasion of
British markets by American firms
in the near future. Mr.. Bell writes
that the decreasing demand in the
United States for many classes of
manufactured goods indicates that
American firms will soon be looking
abroad for markets in which to dis
pose of their surplus products at al
most any price.

CHICKEN LASSO.
New Invention Being Tried In the
Commission District of Cleveland.
o.. Meeting with Great Success.

Commission District of Cleveland.
o.. Meeting with Great Success.
Chicken lassos are the latest. The
inventor is a well-known man in the
commission district, of Cleveland, o.,
and his device has become popular
among the handlers of poultry in
that locality. All dealers are sup
piled and farmers will be quick to
adopt them.
"A chicken hunt is daily occurrence
in the commission district. 1t is a
common sight to see a crowd of men
and boys running down Broadway,
over wagons, through yards and over
fences, after cackling hens, turkeys
or ducks. The race continues for
blocks, and sometimes lasts for hours
before the fugitives are caught.
But the evil has been corrected,
and it is now an easy thing to cap
ture the fowls. The new invention
is a stiff wire, ten or II feet long,
with a long narrow hook about tho
size of a chickens leg at the end
The operator stealthily approaches
the fowl, hooks it by the leg, ana
draws it in as an angler would a fish,
then it is carried back in triumph to
it's coop.

Philadelphia, Dec. City councils
committee on free libraries yester
day voted to accept from Andrew

city furnishing the sites, appropriat

spirited opposition to the acceptance
of the money because it made neces.
sary an annual appropriation OF

libraries.
