How to make hundred sandwiches is
described by Pierre L'Allmande In an at.
tractiye pamphlet Just published. The re-
nc gives as good bread, good butter, good
meats, etc, and good Enives, and, last, but
not least, plenty OF tine.
The bread used for sandwiches is known
as the homemade loaf. 1t should be at
least day old, the slices cut thin and
be lightly and evenly buttered; avoid
bread that is full of holes. as in that case
too much butter Is used and the sand
wiches will become disagreeably greasy.

both slices are spread with butter. but one
side only with the meat, ETC.; the other
slice Is then added, pressed gently anu cut

The butter to be used should be worked
into q paste with fork until soft; 1t Is
very undesirable to heat the same. In order
s to get it to the proper condition.
S To serve sandwiches take napkin or
dolly, fold and lay it on plate or platter
and arrange the sandwiches on the same

Winter is the time when the dehutante

for receptions are much more in favor than
they lave been for many long year, and
here is where the custom of dress becomes
serious and even lnomentous. Not only
must the debutante but her mamma be
suitably and correctly gowned, and if any.

and then, Ike true friends Of the family,
they turned to console the husband. who was
many years younger than his departed wife.
He was silent as they walked home from The
graveyard and his countenance was down
cast as betitted the occasion.
When he reached his home two or three
friends sat down with him, and one, placing
his hand on his shoulder. said: You ought
to look at this matter like philosopher.
Your wife was good deal older than you,
and, therefore. it was only natural that she
should die before you.

ASKED THE POLICE
TO LOCK HIM IN A CELL
Charles Frederick Seized With Homi-
cidal Mania.

Suffering from homicidaI mania.
Charles Frederick, thirty nine years of
age. of 2s2 Four and ahalf Street
southwest. called at the Fourth pre-
cfncl station last evening and requested
the desk sergeant TO lock him up be-
cause he was of unsound mind. As this
was somewhat of an unusual request, the
officers hesitated to comply. but when
Harry Frederick, of 1918 First Street
southwest. arrived at the station and
asked the police to comply with
Charles request, they placed him in
cell. Afterward he was conveyed to
the Washington Asylum Hospital, where
he Will be detained until an investiga-
tioI relative to his sanity can be made.
1t was learned last evening that
Charles Frederick was at one time an
inmate of a ward In the alcoholic divi-
ion at Providence Hospital. At that time
he spent a week in the institution and
efforts were made to have him COM
mitted TO the Government Hospital for
the Insane.

VANISHED FROM SIGHT
OF ALL HIS FRIENDS
Mysterious Disappearance of R. B.
Carroway, a Government Clerk.

The police were last night requested
to aid in the search for Richard B. Car
roway. clerk in the office of James S.
Easily Smith. attorney in charge of par
dons in the Department OF Justice, who
disappeared September 10 and has not
been seen or heard of since. Although
the police inquired at all of the hospitals
in the city, they do not think he is in
Washington, but fear of foul play Is
entertained. as Carroway had a large
sum of money about him at the time OF
his disappearance.
Mr.. Easily Smith made the report 20
the police last night. He said the young
man had worked in the Department of
Justice more than a year and had proven
steady and reliable at ali times. Caro-
way went to Iowa to visit his relatives
in July, on his regular leave. and since
his return he lived just beyond the Dis
trict line in Maryland. On Friday, Sep
TENDER II. he moved 20 the city and
rented room at 412 Sixth Street north
west
Monday of last week he did not go 10
work. but remained around his new
boarding house, and was seen several
times by persons there. on Tuesday
morning he left the house, ostensibIy to
go 10 work, but did not arrive at the
Department of Justice, and has not been
seen since.
Carroway did not draw his semi
monthly pay and il was just three days
before pay day when he disappeared.
Mr.. Smith says he inquired of all of
Carroway's friends and acquaintance
before reporting the disappearance 10
the police. but none of them could shed
any light on the matter, and that gave
/ rise TO a fear of foul play Mr.. Caro-
way suffered a stroke of vertigo about
year ago. but he appeared to be en-
| joying good health all summer. He is
described as being twenty four years OF
age. five feet seven inches tall. weighed
about 100 pounds. and OF light com
plexion. He is said to have always worr

STEALING BICYCLES
A POPULAR OFFENSE

A report in regard to the number of
bicycles stolen and recovered through
out the month of August was made by
Captain Boardman last night 1t
showed that bicycle stealing was the
most prevalent of any crime in Wash
ington, as well as one OF the most
proftless. Sixty wheels were stolen in
August. and fifty were recovered.
In his last annual report Major Syl-
vester, Superintendent of Police. stated
that $50 bicycles had been stolen dur
ing the fiscal year of 1901-1902. OF this
great number over 90 per cent were re-
covered. During the fiscal year which
ended with June 80, 1903, IL is thought
the bike men" were even more active
but the percentage of arrests promises
to run even higher proportionately-
