cARvlNepTHE TURKEY.

How to Dissect the succulent HoIi-
 v day Fowl.
 If there is one person at the annual Christmas feast who is not really and truly happy 1t is he to whom is intrust- ed the important task of carving the turkey. For the benefit of those who are called upon to prepare the turkey for the plates of the feagters s few words of advice are always acceptable.
 And first and all important is the ad- monition to secure a tender bird and a sharp knife, for upon, these two consid- erations depend the peace of mind and the success of the carver. Incidentally 1t is an excellent thing to have the guests engaged in activN conversation, because no matter how skillful the carver he will surely be handicapped if the moment required for his task is marked by silence on the part of those about the board.
 Once the conditions made favorable the carver grasps the fork in his left hand and places it in the breast of the turkey. Then the knife, held in the right hand, is laid parallel with and close to the neck just above where the left wing is joined to the body. The knife is brought down with sweep, and the joint is disconnected. The carver continues the stroke downward and separates the leg and then the sec ond joint from the carcass. This oper- ation Is repeated on the members of the right side of the fowl.
 The next task and one which seems comparatively simple is the slicing of the breast meat. The slices should be made parallel to the breast bone so as to follow the grain of the meat The meat appears far more palatable when so cut After slicing off the breast meat the wishbone is removed by slip ping the knife under the point of the bone and sweeping it downward to- ward the neck.
 The stroke which for ordinary sized families is generally the last is that which is taken upward from the ''pope's nose" so as to catch the "oys- ter bone" This stroke reveals the stuff ing, which can be sliced off easily. And with the service of this the carver lays aside knife and fork, happy be- cause of the successful accomplish ment of difficult task.

WALKING DELEGATES STORY.
Report That Henry Farley Has
 Made a Confession.

Farley is Waiting Trial for Perjury
 Connection with the Parks Case-He
 Tells of an Instance Where $50,000
 Was Paid to Stop Interference With
 Building a Hotel.
 New York, Oct .17.-Henry Farley, a walking delegate, who is waiting trial on an indictment for purjury alleged he gave during the trial of Samuel Parks, is announced by the World to have made startling confession. Nu- merous cases are enumerated in his statement of walking delegates in this city and surrounding towns having successfully conspired to extort money from contractors and builders to avoid strikes or have them called off. The cases are related in minute detail.
 Farley asserts that in one instance $50O00 was procured from w. E. D.. Stokes to stop interference with the building of the Ansonia hotel at Sev- enty-third street and Broadway.
 The confession was made to District Attorney Jerome in the presence of seV- eral assistants. It's telling occupied many hours Farley asserts that the perjury with which he is charged was committed at the instance of promi- nent lawyer
 It consisted in his swearing that Parks and he did not meet at any time on day during which the prosecution had asserted that Parks received $20O from a Brooklyn contractor to avoid strike. Farley admits, it is said, that the. money was given in his presence, first in the form of check, which was refused, and later in cash.
 Farley was indicted after the Parks trial and remained for some weeks in prison, while his wife suffered from lack of the necessities of life. He was released on bail after the return of Parks from the Kansas City conven- tion and, through an understanding with the district attorneys office, his trial on the perjury case has been post poned until the next term of the court He said his confession was given pure ly to relieve his conscience and was only accepted by the district attorney in that spirit and with the distinct un- derstanding that it did not involve inn munity.
 The district attorney is in possession of the name of the attorney in the case, together with the names of all the walking delegates alleged to be in- yolved, and disbarment proceedings are promisedan connection with the other developments.

MONTHLY DRILL SUGGESTED. Fire and Police Inspection Gave Rise
 to it

A suggestion which has been made since the inspection and parade of the members of the police and fire depart ments is that the regular and super numerary policemen should meet once or twice month for drill. It is admitted that the men did we'll in the parade on Thursday, as we'll as could be expected from body of raw men, who had only met for practice. But it was noticeable that the majority of the men lacked the military step and bearing. No person acknowedges this more readily than the men who took part in the parade. Some of them found 1t hard to keep step while the majority by far were unable to keep good line It is no easy matter for twelve men to keep straight front. It needs practice to make perfection And so it is that several officers and a large number of policemen are agreed that drill once or twice month would be very beneficial. It would not be much of hardship for the men to meet for two or three hours every month and indulge in drill work which would be very beneficial. One officer said that 1t would be good idea since the annual inspection and parade has become a fixed event. for the board of public safety to take some action in regard to the holding of monthly drills.

ROBBERS USED HAND CAR
And Escaped With Booty After.
 Robbing Bank.

Burglars Got a Good Start Before the
 Robbery Was Discovered-A the
 Funds in the Safe Was Taken,
 Which Was Said to Be Large
 Amount.
 St Andrews, N. B., Oct 17.-An un- usual stir throughout the Passama- quoddy district was caused early to- day by news that burglars had en- tered the bank of Nova Scotia here, de- molished the safe and escaped with all the funds, estimated at several thou sand dollars.
 Ths robbers got away on a handcar seized in the yard of the Canadian Pa citic railway, and they were able to place many miles between them and the town before the authorities had started on their trail.
 The robbery occurred shortly after midnight and is thought to have been well planned beforehand, as the bur- glars had secured supply of horse blankets, bags and other heavy ma- terial with which they wrapped the safe to deaden the noise of the explos- ion. The tools used were obtained from a nearby blacksmith shop. The explosion was heard by number of persons, but they paid no attention to the matter The safe was so heavily charged. however, that it was practi- cally destroyed and much damage was done to the bank offices.
 The fact of the robbery was not dis covered until daylight and although the authorities in several towns and villages on the New Brunswick and Main sides of St Croix were notified to apprehend suspicious persons, and special detectives were engaged to work on the case, no clue was found beyond that of a trail leading to the railroad yards and a missing hand car. It is believed that the men made their way into the United States. During the summer number of unknown men have been seen fire ouently in this vicinity and as 1t was suspected that thieves awaiting an opportunity to rob wealthy families from Boston. Montreal and elsewhere who have summer residences in this section, sharp watch was maintained. Nothing warranting an arrest occurred and after the summer visitors departed last month the sup posed crooks disappeared. The author. ities now think the men were planning the robbery while in the vicinity.
