Debauched at Bishop Potter's Joint

New York, August 15-Miss Mar
garet Cooper, 141l Deering Place, we'll
dress, comely, and under twenty years
of age was arrested for being drunk on
the streets last night. At the police
station she told her story. She says
that she and two girl friends started out
for boat trip but changed their minds
and took q look at Bishop Potter's 80
loon.
They thought it must be respectable
and were sure there would be no harm
in il. First they took only sodas, but
seeing others addressed, respectable
women drinking beer, decided to:try it,
"just for fun. Miss Cooper had never
tasted beer before, and only took two
mugs last night. Somehow the girls
became separated in the crowd, and re-
alizing that she was dizzy and bewil-
dered, Miss Cooper decided to walk
home rather than make fool of her
self on the car. Soon she lost her way
and became maudlin when an officer
found her and took her to the police
station.
This is the most striking moral les
son which has yet come from "The
Potters, although 1t has developed
that many men have been known tc
become drunk in the place and even
women have gone out feeling their
hops.

The Man Who First Ran Night Trains

Henry Gassaway Davis, democratic

Railroad. 1t was not long before he
was advanced to the more responsible
position of freight conductor, RESPONSE
BILE in these days bnt far more so, rela-
lively, in those. AT twenty-four he
was again promoted, this time to the
position of superintendent in charge of
the running of all the trains. He in
troduced an innovation which marked
decided adyence step in railroading.
UP to that time, it had not been con-
sidered practicable to run trains at
night; when nightfall came, freight
trains and passenger trains alike were
"tied up, their journeys to be resum-
ed only when daylight came. Davis
held there was no good reason why
they should not be run by night az

train from Cumberland to Baltimore
marked an important epoch in railroad

Roquefort Cheese Described.

The following description of well
known delicacy is from an expert on
foods, whese authority cannot be ques-
toned, and only for this reason is pub
lished. Epicnres will hardly thank this
gastronomic writer for his display of
sarcasm.
Roquefort cheese is made in France
from the milk of sheep, which are fed
on wild thyme, and the cheese has a
wild time" trying to keep from smell
ling itself to death In its infancy. The
wild thyme grows on the banks of the
Lot, Tarn and other rivers in the de-
partment of Aveyron in France, and
after it has first been besheeped and
then becheesed it generates lot of the
darndest smells that ever perambulated
down the pike. Thyme is kind of an
aromatic plant with pungent odor,
and after it is converted into Roquefort
cheese it is the pungentest thing known
to man. After this cheese is made it is
put into solitary confinement until its
whiskers commence to turn gray and
gangrene sets in, when it is taken out
and chained to post. Before it is
served it is chloroformed or knocked in
the head with an axe. 1t is then brought
/
to the table in little square sections
bout the size of domino, and is served
at the close of the meal together with
black coffee. 1t usually has running
mate in the shape of O round, ossified
cracker, that has to be broken with {
mall.
| Roquefort cheese is OF dull, white
color, except in spotsiwhere mortifica
ton has set in. Some claim it is in
habited, but this is not true. Ever
