ire OF Justice Mcmahon and the District
Attorney. was on trial at Police Headquart-
ere yesterday. In the preliminary hearing
before Magistrate Pool, Meyer was posi-
tive that he saw Stahl shoot, but later under
cross examination in General Sessions he
said he might be mistaken. He Is now
under charges before the Police Com
missioner Of perjury in his first testimony
and Of conduct uniting him to be police
man.
His counsel Frederick B. House. argued
that Meyer had been confused by the cross
examination, had never really changed his
mind that he saw Stahl shoot and had said
there was a doubt in his mind Immediately
after Justice Mcmahon, obiecting to the
form Of a question of the prosecution,
which ran is there possibility that you
might be Mistaken had said There is
that Meyer had intended merely 90 follow

The whole trouble according TO the

MME. Dbl DRAGO DEAD.
For Twenty Years She'd Puzzled the Charity
Organization Society.

For Twenty Years she'd Puzzled the Charity
Organization Society.
Nine. Eleanor del Drago, who has been
one Of the puzzles Of the Charity Organiza-
ton Society for twenty years, died yester-
day mornins In the Metropolitan Hos
pital Of valvular heart disease, aged 90
years. She was admitted TO Bellevue
Hospital on Feb. %, where she named as
her friends George Gould and District
Attorney Jerome She was later trans
ferred to the island.
Nine. del Drago, whose name was origi-
nally Dels, and who had since called
herself Del Vosto, Bertha Stein, Dio Dio,
and Kate hulligan, first appealed for aid
in 1885. Then she asserted that she was
the daughter Of an Austrian nobleman,
disinherited because she married an AmeTi-
can in Rome. The woman has never
varied from this story, although she has
continually given conflicting statements
on other matters.
The society learned then that she had
been writing begging letters as early
as 1882, and that although she claimed TO
have been in this country but six months
she was sentenced to the penitentiary in
1884. serving two years for conducting
immoral traffic under the name Of Countess
Della Grada, clairvoyant.
She talked and wrote seven languages
and had numerous foreign letters Of recon-
mendation, She posed at various times as
a travelling companion, teacher of Ian
guages and music, translator, interpreter,
book Canvasser, seamstress, maid, nurse,
and typewriter.
The woman's prison term turned her
talents into new lines, for she has sup
ported herself since 1887 by writing begging
letters TO prominent persons, placing chill
dren, illegitimate and otherwise, in homes
and asylums and securing the release Of
Others where their parents were willing
to pay her a small sum for the job. For
that reason she made a close study Of the
working OF charitable agencies and, until
she became known, was In prosperous cir
Cumstanoes.
Among the begging letters in the posses
sion Of the Charity Organization Society
Mrs A. s. Hewitt and eI Mayor Low. In
1889 she asked for help at a convent on the
ground that she had secured converts 20
the Roman Catholic faith, and few years
later she wrote to a we'll known Protestant
clergyman; I would wish God would help
me to raise an Italian chapel and school in
East New York in the Episcopal faith. l
could canvass 200 to 800 Italians who now
90 10 no religious worship
Last year Nine del Drago turned up at
the Bellevue Hospital insane ward twice.
The first time she had tickets for Naples
which she said had been purchased by Mrs.
George Gould. While on the way to the
pier with a nurse the woman stole away
and was returned TO Bellevue three days
later.

POSTUM CEREAL,
At High Water
The Flood Plays Many Franks.

Rev. william Alexander Smith, promi-
nent as the author Of many works on
Oriental Travel, has written an entertain
ing account Of bis experience In Kansas
during the foods In 1908. He says:
I'VE lived full mile from the nearest
point Of the Saline river, but when the river
overlooked Il sent food clear into our
dooryard and we had TO 60 about In boats
many Of our neiRhbors suffering sad ex-
periences both from loss Of life and prop
erty.
swe-wife and myself-hAd an expert
ence quite unique and thereby hangs a
tale. My wife for years past, and my
self as we'll. had been annoyed, panied
and worried 80 greatly at times by dys-
Of living out Of life.
i had seen Postum 30 literally fpoken
OF and we suffered 30 much from coffee
that one day, some months ago, decided
TO try some Postum for ourselves. We
liked It's aroma and taste 50 we were sat
isfled from the start and we quit coffee.
Gradually my digestive organs have
grown healthier and stronger, my sick
headache left and we both could eat al
most what we pleased without discom-
fort.
But was this result Of the discontinu-
ance Of tea and coifes1
The food came and found us out OF
Postum and shut OF from all supplies in
the village for days, But we got hold
Of some left over tea and a little coffee
and this we used as long as Il lasted
This was the only respect In WHICH our
meals were different from what we had
been using, but a change came over us.
NV wife thought had more temper than
grace while i, In my turn, thought-well,
never mind, only she did not seem TO APP
pear 10 be the Jolly creature she was be-
fore food days. She said she did not rest
we'll and that made her irritable and on
my part / suffered pains in my digestive
organs night and day that would have
caused the meekest man to speak unad-
visedly with bis lips
well, the clouds cleared away, the food
abated, dry land appeared and we made
ready 10 visit the grocery store and my
wife suggested that we needed more Postum.
To tell the rest In a few words when Postum
came hack the domestic atmosphere be-
came more genial, In fact about normal.
Our troubles and sick feelings disappeared
and there can be no doubt they were due
70 tee and coffee for they quickly yielded
when Postum was used In their place.

ALDERMEN PROMISE A HEARING
fthe Connecting Railroad Go. Really wants
One-LAWyer KeuOEE Says SO.

II the Connecting Railroad 60. Really wants
One-Lawyer KeIlogg says so.
The order to show cause why peremptory
mandamus should not be issued 10 compel
the Board Of Aldermen to act upon the
petition OF the New York Connecting Rail-
road Company for franchise to build and
operate lines by way OF the Blackwel's
Island bridge to connect the Long Island
the Pennsylvania and the New York, New
Haven and Hartford railroads was re-
turnable before Supreme Court Justice
Dickey in Brooklyn yesterday. The order
was obtained by Walter B. Brown, secretary
Of the Brooklyn Transportation Reform
League. Lawyer L. Latin Kellogg repre-
sented sixty-one Aldermen as private colm-
SELL while C. s. Reyes represented the
league.
Lawyer Reyes told Justice Dickey that
the application had been presented to the
Board Of Aldermen in June last, after the
Rapid Transit Commission had acted favor
ably upon Il. The Aldermen sent the
matter TO committee, where II had remained
ever since and the object Of the petitioner
was 20 have the Board Of Aldermen act
one way or the other.
In reply Mr.. Kellogg said that the rail-
road company had not made any move
the application was still pending came
from the present petitioner.
Apparently nobody wants to 20 on with
the application. said Mr.. Kellogg. The
railroad company has done nothing, and
vet this nonresident relator, who Is not
even a taxpayer, seeks 10 compel the Alder
men TO grant franchise 20 people who
seem 10 have changed their minds about
wanting it
IF the Aldermen are willing to 60 on
with the hearing at any time said Justice
Diokey, why not have II understood that
the matter will be taken up within Ave
days, and then the application can be
Withdrawn
I'VE are ready 10 give them a hearing
n they want Il, said Mr.. Kellogg.
Justice Dickey asked II the Corporation
Council desired 10 be heard In the matter
and Assistant Corporation Counsel Farley
said that, II the Board Of Aldermen had
retained Mr.. Kellogg as their special coun-
sci. Corporation Counsel Delany had
nothing which he cared to ask the Court
to hear.
The lawyers were directed to hand up
their briefs on Monday.

Wide interest is being taken in the
seedless or navel apple which we
have mentioned several times and
which was developed and is to be in.
troduced by ]. F. Spencer, a promi-

fruit is one of the most interesting
freaks of nature on record. 1t is core
less and seedless, but in the blossom
end there is a hard substance like the
navel of a seedless orange. The skin
is a dark red with yellow dots. The
single variety so far produced is a
winter sort. but efforts are being made
to develop seedless forms of all the
favorite varieties.
The seedless apple tree does not
blossom in the ordinary sense There
is a cup formed OF three green leaves
having no fragrance. inside which
the apple forms. These buds come
late in the spring and so the apple
escapes the danger of frosts. More
