MAKING BREAD.

Biscuit and rolls require a hotter
oven than bread.
Bread should rise to twice its original
quantity before it is ready to bake.
The sponge should be set at night if
the baking is to be done in the morn
ing; otherwise set it early in the morn
ing.
Bread and biscuits should rise in a
moderately warm place, for il too cold
it viii be heavy or If too hot it is likely
to sour
Milk is preferable for mixing. In
some cases the quantity used will have
to be varied little, as some flour will
absorb more moisture than others.
A good sponge can be made of one
pint of sifted flour, one cake of COM
pressed yeast dissolved In a cupfuI of
warm water and liquid enough to
make a batter. 1t should be left to
rise till light.-Exchange.

weaknesses of .e1abby.v


Though enormously rich, Labou-
chere enjoys few of the ordinary
pleasures that are supposed to go with
riches" says T. p. O'Connor in Every
body's Magazine. HE eats the sim
plest fare. He never touches wine
except when he is bullied into taking
a glass or two of mild claret by medi-
cal advice, and then he swallows it as
though it were medicine. He has two
weaknesses. One is his love of Gig
arctic smoking; the other mania for
changing houses and redecOration and
rebuilding. He is rarely without a
cigarette in his mouth. Indeed this
love of smoking amounts to something
like a passion. Almost every half hour,
even in the midst of fierce debate or
of great speech, Labby may be seen
rising from his seat in his lazy, indo-
lent manner. He is going to one of
the smoke rooms of the house to have
his cigarette. 1t is characteristic OF
him that he smokes very inferior Gig
arettes. l asked him once what kind
he smoked. AS long as there is guam
tity,' said Labby, with his usual sar-
donic smile, L really don't much care
about quality"

GRIDIRON WARRIORS
SOME MEN OF MIGHTY DEEDS ON
THE FOOTBALL FIELD.

How the New Rules Affect the Game.
Fame of De Witt as n Pigskin
T1icl1er-PrOweSs of Rafferty, of
Yale and Marshall of Harvard.
Revision Of the playing rules has
somewhat changed the complexion of
football, but it is still nearly as fas-
cinatfng as ever to players and specta-
tors alike.
The chief change, and the one in
which the general public is most inter
ested, is that which seeks the abolition
of mass plays in certain parts of the
field, by reason of which much youth
full blood has been shed in the past.
This new rule provides that when the
ball is in play in the center section of
the field = that is, in the portion en-
braced between the two twenty-five
yard lines-at least seven of the play
ers of the side having the ball must be
on the line of scrimmage and, further,
that when the quarter back receives
the ball within the territory mentioned
he may not carry it beyond the line of
scrimmage unless in so doing he crosses
that line at least five yards from either
side of the point where the snapper
back put the ball into play. This makes
necessary a comparatively open style
of game in the middle section of the
field and is intended to lessen the liza
bility to injury which results from the
steady pounding of the mass play.
According to the new rules, then,
the old style of mass play is restricted
to the sections between the two TWEEN
ty-five yard lines and the goals. AS
much of the play occurs in these zones.
it does not seem likely that the chances
of injury to the players have been
greatly lessened. Other changes pro-
vide for increased penalties for unfair
tactics.
OF the college players who have won
fame on the gridiron none stands out
more prominently than John y. De
Witt, captain of the Princeton eleven,
who is a veteran of several campaigns
and is generally conceded to be the
best all around football player on the
gridiron today, his record being one of

At the Thenter.,

One of the most annoying things in
the world is to go to the theater and
sit back of a man who has been to see
the play and insists upon telling his
companion all about the performance
and what's coming next. The other
night at one of the local playhouses a
man was greatly annoyed by the occu-
pant of the seat in front of him talk
ing in a loud voice about what was
going to happen on the stage. Finally,
when the talk became incessant, he
exclaimed:
what an Internal nuisanceT
The man in front turned around and
said in a threatening voice:
do you refer to me, sirT'
mo, indeed" replied the man in the
row behind. 81 was simply saying
what I thought of the actors. They
are making so much noise that can't
hear one-half of your interesting and
valuable conversation" = Philadelphia

unusual brilliancy. He plays guard on
his team and is uneXcelled in that po-
sition, but it is as a punter and drop
kicker that he shines, and to the power
of his mighty leg was due the only
scores made by Princeton in two of its
big games last year.
In the game with Yale during the
last few minutes of play he kicked the
ball squarely between the goal posts
from the forty-eight yard line, an al
most unprecedented performance. In
deed so much was his kicking feared
by Yale's superior team that the blue
found it necessary not only to keep
the orange and black away from the
Yale goal line, but even from the center
of the field. Likewise in the game
with Cornell, the only points scored by
Princeton were made by the mighty
De Witt, who placed two drop kicks
over CornelFs crossbar.
De Witt has won still other honors
in athletics, being the present cham
pion intercollegiate hammer thrower
and shot putter. He is a member of
several of the leading college clubs and
fraternities and is one of the most
popular students in the university. He

Other noted gridiron warriors are
Captain @. G. Rafferty, of Yale and
Carl Marshall, who commands the
Harvard forces. Rafferty, plays end
on his team and is a giant in stature
standing G feet 1 inch in height and
weighing ITO pounds. AS end rush
Rafferty, is said to be equaled by few
and surpassed by none. AS field cap
tain he is held to be superior to De
Witt. He always plays the kind Of
football that has won championships
for Yale, and that had much to do with
his selection as captain.
Marshall, the Harvard captain, is a
quarter back of ususual ability and is
considered as strong behind the line as
is De Witt in the position of guard. He
is a star player of the first magnitude,
n veteran quarter back Of several
years experience and is noted for cool
ness in a position where the nervous
strain is necessarily great. He runs
his team like machine and is good
field general. He has the advantage
over both Rafferty, and De Witt that
he is a quarter back and will not have
to depend upon another man to run the
team

PEOPLE OF THE DAY
mistaken For a Scribe.

Robert B. Armstrong, assistant secre-
tary of the treasury, spent a part of
his vacation this year in Des Moines.
While there he went one day to call
upon Colonel G. l.. Godfrey, veteran
of the civil war, who is in the customs
service. 1t was early in the morning,
and the colonel was busy at his desk
and not in the best of humor.
Remembering that he used to go to
see the colonel for news in the days
when he was newspaper man out In
the Hawkeye State, Mr.. Armstrong
asked him for a story. The colonel not
only mistook the assistant secretary for

No Excuse for II.

From the Union Republican.
Tho most remarkable story Of the lynch
ing of colored man on the outskirts of
the city of Wilmington at an early hour
Tuesday morning, as told by the daily
press. proves most conclusively that the
officers who We're supposed TO be there for
the purpose OF preventing the lynching
were either in favor of It or were afraid
OF the mob, There was not the slightest
excuse for such a brutal act. 1t Is true
the negro deserved all the punishment that
was meted out to him but what of the
crowd Of murderers who took the law into
their own hands. The prisoner had con-
fessed his guilt and there was not the
slightest reason for believing that his
crime would go unpublished, and yet a
mob composed of the best citizens" took
the law into their own hands and, aided by
every nonresisting officer present. added
to the history of Delaware page that can
never be torn out nor forgotten.

CARSWELL VS.. PATzOWsKY
Argument Heard in Action Brought BY
Architect to Recover $2,o2t.3e.

The case of Frank r.. Carswell VS.
Ricnard Patzowsky. occupied the greater
part OF the session Of Superior Court this
morning. Carswell is sueing for $2.O21 .S6
for work and labor as architect and is
represented by Herbert II. Ward. Pat
zowslsy is represented by William S. Hill
les and Robert II. Richards.
The facts of the case are as follows:
Patzowsky owned property on which he
erected morocco factory and Frank r.
Carswen was the architect who prepared
ehe plans. Patzowsly in February of last
year transferred the property to the New
Castle Leather Company. In June of last
year Carswell filed mechanics lien
against the property and made Patzow-
sky party defendant.
The argument this morning was on a de-
murrcr filed by Ward to plea in abatement
filed by the defendant. This plea set out
that the owner or reputed owner at the
time of the filing of the mechanics lien
should be set out.
Mr.. Ward in arguing to the court, con-
tended that the party defendant should
be the party with whom the contract was
ma de for work and labor.
Hies and Richards contend that ahe
owner at the time of the filing of lier
should be made party defendant.

Disreqsrd for Law.

While this is government of the
people, by the people and for the peo-
pie and all powers of government of
whatever nature emanate from them.
they have delegated the power of the
punishment of crime to our courts, and
they have no right to assume to tnem-
selves these powers of punishment.
Such acts are revolutionary and are
not warranted unless the means pro-
vided entirely fail to accomplishe the
purpose for which they were intended.
The proximity To Wilmington made the
assembly of a mob AN easy matter, and
IL Is very apparent that officers defend
ins the wOrlShouse did not consider the
life Of this negro fiend worth the she'd
ding of human blood on taking the lives
Of Others in his defense. Delaware
seems proned to drain the cup of dis
grace and this act only adds another
stain TO the once falr name OF the
state. When the laws OF the State
openly and fagrantly violated go un-
rebuked and unnunished, the scene Of
Monday night IS the natural outcome
of the disregard and disrespect Of law
and its machinery.
