LOST IN LONDON,
The Metropolis of England as the
Ideal Hiding Place.
From the London Express.

From the London Express
What becomes of the 10000 people who
are officially reported as lost In London
year by year? Why are they? Why are
they missing? What are their ultimate
destination and destiny?
1t will surprise most people when I
state that less than per cent of this le-
gion of the lost" wander beyond the con-
fines OF the metropolis itself. In the vast
ness of London, and amid its teeming pop
ulation. may lie found a safe sanctuary
for the person whose ambition it is to be
unrecognized and unknown. If | wished to
do So ] could change my residence select
habitation east or west. and defy anx-
ious friends to trace me to my hiding place
That this Is possible is due in the main
to the 'unfriendliness" of Londoners. The
average citizen does not know the occu-
pant of the fiat below nor the identity of
his next-door neighbor Tenants come and
go, strange faces are seen at the window
opposite. and again disappear to be re-
placed by others, but IL is no concern of
ours, and the procession of changes passes
on UNDECIDED
I can recall case in which a retired
tradesman lived in a South London sub
urb, while three doors lower down resided
a nephew for whom he had been eagerly
searching for half year. The facts were
ultimately brought to light through the
chance remark of milk carrier, who had
noted the similarity of the names.
The great majority of London's Official
lost is composed of deserving husbands
men after whom boards of guardians in
quire with commendable insistence and per-
tinacity. The number of these domestic
outlaws run into tens of thousands. Some
of the runaways clear right away and in
a provincial coal mine assume the black

honest labor. But here again the larger
part rely for conceaiment upon the posi-

University had followed an equally clever
course at one of our public schools. He
was intended for the church, but before
he took holy orders certain discreditable
rumors began to circulate. He did not stay
to face them. He disappeared.
His friends sought him far and wide,
but in vain, and 1t was thought that he

inquiry agent could relate scores OF them.

Speaker Cannon's Opinion.
COL. BIDDLE CONGRATULATED.
Engineer Commissioner Felicitated as
a Result of His Reassignment Here.

MANY and hearty Fluctuations were re-
ceived by Maj. John Biddle, Engineer Com
missioner, d. c., today as result or the
announcement yesterday that he IS to be
retained in his present position for some
time to come. The news was published yes
terday afternoon exclusively in The Star,
and scores OF the Commissioners friends
thus received first intimation of the good
news An impromptu reception was ten
dered TO Maj. Biddle this morning by the
various heads of departments in the Dis
trict building they formed an almost con-
tnuous line into his office and out again.
All were very glad to know that their i'm
mediate superior was not to be transferred
to other fields at the present time, both be-
cause of personal liking for the man and
because his retention in office means a con-
tnuation of existing policies concerning eX-
traordinary municipal improvements now
in course of construction.
Maj. Biddle became Engineer Commits
sioner of the District on November l, 1901,
and the order of the President and the Sec
rotary of War will make him the first officer
to hold that position who has been permit
ted to remain in office more than four years.
AS major in the Engineer Corps, United
States army, the Commissioners salary is
$4OT6. Congress each year makes an ap-
preparation of 1924 TO make his salary equal
to that of each of the other two Commits
sioners.
1T is very gratifying" said Commissioner
Mcfarland this morning, that Col. Biddle
is to be continued as Engineer Commits
sioner, because IL is obviously to the inter
ests of the District that he remain in office
until our extraordinary municipal improve
ments, now in progress under his immedi-
ate supervision-the railway terminal, Dis
trlct building and sewage disposal system
are completed. He has done splendid engi-
neering work, besides all his success adj

Disposal Of Waste in New York.

From the New York Sun.
Up to four years ago the best thing the
street cleaning department could find to
do with the stuff collected from tho streets
and homes of New York was to tow it out
to sea and dump It overheard. There was
a theory that most of the stuff thus dis
posed of would sink and the rest be carried
away from shore by current and wave. The
theory was not held by seaside jewellers.
They knew that much of the waste matter
drifted inshore, to litter the beaches. breed

Progress In Sleeping Cars.

On one of the Chicago railroads
Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul rail
way there will be introduced within
few days new style of sleeping car
which will be recognized at once as
great improvement.
The improvement consists in locat-
ing the drawing rooms in the center
of the car instead of at the ends, as
at present. AS these drawing rooms
are often taken by people who are in
firm or i'll, such people are not much
benefited if they must ride over the
trucks. The noise and vibration are
hardly Offset by the righteousness of
their immediate surroundings.
Although some of the new cars will
be used at once, many more are to be
constructed, and that, of course, will
require time. When the new service
is thoroughly in operation there will
be a luxury in American railroad trav-
ell never known before and people will
be able to bear railroad transporta-
ton who otherwise could not survive
it
Of course, when such service is the
best in America it means that it is
also the best in the world.-Chicago

LATEST IN EGGS,
Zionist Who Can Give Hen Fruit Any
Desired Flavor.

Zionist Who Can Give Hen Fruit Any
Desired Flavor.
Chicago, Nov. 13.-Deacon Sloan of
Zion City says there is no reason why
man should not have an egg with
the flavor of an orange for breakfast
every morning If his taste leads in that
direction.
Simply question of feeding" says
the deacon.
The deacon's list of egg flavor is
not exhausted when he speaks Of the
orange. A man can have an egg bit
ter as vinegar or sharp as a lemon.
He can have one that is sickening in
its sweetness or intoxicating in its
aroma. In short, there is no flavor
known to man that cannot be repro
duced in eggs if the theories of Dea-
con Sloan are correct.
The deacon has been the friend of
the chicken for many years, but his
friendship did not ripen into compan-
iOnship until one year ago.
Then came the discovery of the dea.
con. He learned that by giving them
one kind of food that certain flavor
could be detected in the eggs. When
he changed the food, the flavor chang.
ed. He began to experiment. Sue.
cess was his own. And then came
mystery. The eggs provided by the
deacon were different in flavor than
all other eggs found in Zion. The
deacon was requested to divulge his
secret. He was standing at the en-
trance to the henyard.
Eggs have different flavors," he be
gan.
Now that was not news. All Zion
will attest to that.
almost any flavor can be secured,
he continued. "The secret lies in the
| feeding. AS many flavors can be Sc
| cured as are found in fruits. There
| is no end to the variations to be found
in the egg. One can almost insert the
pepper and salt through the medium
of the food"
The success of Deacon Sloan has
made chicken-raisers of half the city
of Zion.

Professor Royce, of Harvard, is a

Every man, woman and child who
admire true worth and nobility in
manhood, high ideals and unimpeach-

appreciation of these qualities as rep

His greatest pride was Montana.
His loftiest hope was that here, in the
boundless west, with trackless plains
and sentinel mountains, there should
be builded commonwealth the peer
OF any of the states of the Union.
His every effort was bent toward the
fulflllment of that ideal. He desired
above all things that Montana should
