A TRUE AGRICULTURAL DINNER.
 Twenty millionaires assembled at the Bellevue -Stratford tonight for their annual country dinner.
 These ploughmen in the field of fi- nance dined upon terrapin, canvas back duck, mushrooms and other viands. The wines were of the finest, but rustic simplicity was suggested by a big cider press in one corner of the room. The press was not a mere orna- ment, but whenever one of the diners felt so inclined he would go to the machine, place a basket of apples un- der the press, and with few turns of a giant screw, supply himself with real homemade cider.
 Another evidence of good faith in adopting the role of farmers was given by the millionaires in their method of eating certain courses. For the oysters the banqueters were supplied with miniature pitchforks. while they dis sected their salad with toy rakes. Ter rapin was conveyed to their mouths with small hoes. The consomme cups were brought to the table in toy hay wagons, and wheeled to the hand of each guest in little red iron wheelbar- rows. The punch was served in cups formed of apples, hollowed out and then frozen solid. A rooster struted about the room and picked up the crumbs. The table was circular, the hollow in the middle being filled with pumpkins, melons, corn, grapes, cab bages, apples, nuts, trailing beans and vegetables of every description Many of the vegetables had been hollowed out and electric lights inserted. The pumpkins and some of the larger arti- cles had been fantasticaIly carved, de- corated with moss wigs, and with their electric features they grinned at the farmers
 To reach the room it was necessary to find a way through cornfield. The floor was covered with wheat, upon which live roosters crowed to their contentment. A big stuffed bull was at one side of the room, his stall being decorated with more wonderfully carved and illuminated vegetables. Along the opposite side of the room was a rail fence separating the guests from pig, a calf and three fierce looking stuffed rams. Farming uten- sils were scattered about, overhauling hung upon pegs in the wall and all was as ideally bueolic as the irnagina- tion of the millionairs could suggest Philadelphia Special.

! H Woman Believed to Have Been Killed
 by Man She Befriended.
 New York, Nov 2S.--With her head crushed, the body of Mrs. Margaret Keeler was found in her apartment on the upper East Side late to-day, and near by was ten-inch blood covered coupling pin, with which she had evil dently, been murdered.
 The Keeler family consisted of the husband, who is employed in local mercantile establishment; James, aged twelve years, and Mabel, nine years. The children say they left home as usual this morning for school Their father had gone to work earlier, and when they started out their mother was in good spirits. At the noon hour they found the door of the apartment lock- ed, but left, thinking their mother had gone shopping. Finding the door still locked upon their return at the close of the afternoon session, the boy climb- ed up the fire escape and gained en- trance through an unlocked window in the rear. A few minutes later the boy rushed downstairs screaming, My mother has been killed"
 Mrs. Keeler's body was found on her bed and it was evident that she had been dead several hours. The police are investigating, but so far no arrests have been made.
 Investigation by the police shows that the woman was murdered in the kitch- en and had made a desperate resist ance. The murderer then dragged the body into the bedroom and threw 1t upon the bed.
 Missing from the flat were jewelry worth s4OO, and $2OO in cash. The police

And suddenly the climax came.
From the barricade at the rear there

Washington, Feb. S.--A telephone
message from Baltimore at 2:15

Jones Falls, the stream that divides
Baltimore and East Baltimore, and
that high wind is blowing. The East
Baltimore section consists of small
residential houses. The burned dis

mile long and from two to eight

certainly already reached thirty or
forty millions of dollars.
Ever since about 6 o'clock when

the surrounding counties and suburbs,

that the only thing left to do was to
dynamite buildings at threatened
points and thus prevent, as far as pos.

In pursuance Of this plan a number

Gigantic. savage, stern, clad in the
barbaric finery of his race, his body
nearly nude, his legs and his little
feet covered with bead, laden buskskin,
his head surmounted with a horned
war bonnet whose eagle plumes

Immediately to be despised. He sat

its FESTIVE prancing. Erect, immo-

of his carriage, such the stroke of his

How far do animals profit by thelI

most human intelligence sometimes
displayed by them In the avoidance O.

desires? Abundant instances are on
record In which instinct could have
played no part, and where only the
personal experience OF the animal con
served Its interest. When the tele
