Circumstances of Death Suspicious.
The infant son of Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
Davie died suddenly in Hard wick Thurs
day morning, aged FIVE months and
twenty days. Doctors performed an
autopsy Thursday afternoon, and found
the childs lungs congested by pneumonia.
This makes the fifth child the Davies have
lost, and all have died suddenly. There
| was feeling that all was not as it should
be, hence the autopsy. Without doubt,
the child was neglected. Without doubt,
too, their child that died so suddenly a
few months ago was neglected. But it
does not seem possible to secure any
proof of criminality. When the doctors
went to the house Thursday afternoon
| they found the woman holding her dead
| child, and making a great fuss. She was
sent from the room while the autopsy
| was performed, and after it's completion
| was aroused from a deep sleep with con
| siderable difficulty, something that she
| had imbibed having a very soporihc
| effect apparently.
| The Hardw wick Savings Bank at the

Tragic Scene In Chicago Store.

Chicago, Nov. 3O.-Shoppers in one
of the large department stores on
State street were thrown into a panic
yesterday afternoon when Paul
Hercsk, 26 years old, fired shot at
his wife and then committed suicide.
The couple, who had evidently met by
appointment, had been in converse
ton some time, when the woman sud.
denly arose and started to walk away.
The man followed, and drawing re-
volver from his pocket fired a shot al
her. The shot missed the woman and
imbedded itself in wall of the build
ing. Apparently thinking he had killed
his wife, Hercsk placed the muZzle OF
the revolver in his mouth and pulled
the trigger. He died instantly. Helcsk
lived in Trenton, N. j., and was on a
visit here.

Fred Gund.y was not drugged nor
robbed nor put on a freight train

with his family, caused by Irritation
with young girl of this place, and
decided to disappear, as the best way
out Of the difficulty. He started away,
but when he got as far as Ann Ar
Dor his nerve failed him, and he came
back. What the Grand Trunk will do
about retaining him in its employ is
not yet known.

THE FIRST PIE PLATES.
They Were Made by the German
Potters of Philadelphia.

The first pie plates were made early
in the eighteenth century by the Ger
man potters who settled in Philadel-
phia.
After the clay was prepared it was
cut into small pieces by means Of a
brass wire and taken to the work
bench to be made into plates.
The clay was roughly beaten into a
flattened form looking like colossal
buckwheat cake. This was rolled out
into thin sheet with q roller much
like n rolling pin, and then disk
cutter was used to cut it into circu-
lar pieces of the required diameter
This bat, as it was called, was then
laid on a board until partly dry and
was then decorated.
The slip decoration was applied by
means of slip cup, an earthen vessel
with goose quilts inserted into the
openings, through which the liquid
slip was made to trickle over the ware
in variety of patterns, just as icing
is applied to cake at the present time.
The slip mixture was of n creamy col
or made of white clay and water.
Favorite motives for decorations
were flowers, fruits and scenes, tulips
being q special pet.
A Lutheran minister asked his potter
to dine with him to discuss designs for
a set Of plates he wished to order.
AS the potter was accustomed to dine
at II, he was almost famished when
the clergyman's 2 o'clock dinner was
served. When the set Of plates came
home, each with a pious sentiment in
terwoven among the marginal decora-
tons, the minister laughed to find an
extra plate, bearing this inscription: 81

Got A BIG JUDGEMENT
Verdict of Over Million Dollars Rem.
dered In New York Court
AGAINST A BUFFALO MAN
Favors Stockholders Of Mating Com
pany Wf,o Contended That Dlvi.
dends Had Been Paid From Capital
Instead of From Net Earnings.

New York, Nov. 30.-Supreme Court
Justice Clarke has awarded Judgment
for $1,0S7, 074.59 against Alexander NJ.
Curtiss OF Buffalo and in favor of Arch.
sbald A. Hutchinson and other stock.
holders OF the American Mating Co.
This judgment represented dividends,
said to have been declared and paid
Illegally, and suit was brought against
Curtiss, individually, as director OF
the company under the stock corpora
ton law, which makes every director
Of corporation liable 70 the full
amount of any dividend illegally de-
clared.
Hutchinson charged, in his COM
plant, that the dividends had been
paid out of the capital instead of nat
ural profits, and the Judge finds that
this was true between July Is, 1898,
and Oct. 10, 1899, except for one divi-
dend declared in April, 1899. The
judgment represents the total divi-
dends declared and carries interest
from dates of payment.
In the decision Justice Clark says:
at does not seem to me that in these
days of great corporations, and of COM
,binations into one Of many corpora
tons, it is asking too much OF direc.
tors, fiduciary officers acting as they
are, that they should obey the law. of
their corporation AMI not bring their
companies to the verge of bankruptcy
and ruin by the payment OF quarterly
dividends in preferred stock out of
capital instead of net earnings"

THE HOTEL BREAKFAST.
How the American Meal Appears to
an EngIishman.

an Englishman.
The American hotel breakfast Is
representative of the general delight in
good living. The length of the menu
and the variety of the dishes bespeak
an appetite that In the early morning
can relish u meal little less substantial
than a dinner.
The hotel breakfast begins with fruit
p-grape fruit If it happens to be in sea-
son, the bitter sweetness of which
seems designated by nature to awaken
the appetite. And there is really be-
wildering problem when next you are
asked to choose among the cereals
from the old fashioned oatmeal to all
kinds of predigested preparations.
Cooked oysters in every style are Of
fered on the menu, and even in the best
restaurants q plate of oysters costs
only a shilling. The choice of fish can
be made from a, long list--of kinds I'M
known in England, including weakfish,
bluefish and shad, with its delicate roe.
1t must be out of compliment to Eng
Ush travellers that herring and haddock
are imported. You see them very sell
dom on an American breakfast table.
When boiled eggs are eaten they are
opened by the waiter into glass, no
small quantity Of butter being added
salt butter, for "sweet" butter is sell
dom served. With chops or steak the
American, who never eats cold meats
at breakfast, usually orders potatoes,
and the meal may be brought to close
with pancakes. These hot cakes, which
are made Of wheat, buckwheat, rice or
cornmeal, are eaten smothered in ma
pie strip, delicious treacle obtained
from the sap Of maple trees.
The American drinks coffee for
breakfast-such coffee as you may
find in Paris, but not in London-and
that he does not prefer tea would need
no other explanation than the failure
to understand the art of making it
London Mail.
