Senator Armstrong. chairman OF the
legislative life insurance investigation
committee said the other day that
there was an erroneous impression
that the life OF the committee would
end AT the beginning OF the next ses-
sion of the legislature on Jan, ,. This
he said was not true. The committee
would continue in existence and could
continue 10 sit and take evidence un-
less the legislature by joint action or
dered il 10 stop the investigation.
I'VE hope and intend said Senator
Armstrong. Ito finish this investiga-
tion by Dec. 81 and 10 make our re-
port TO the legislature when il opens.
To push the inquiry further than that
would be an attempt 10 exhaust an
ineXhaustible subject We have got at
the main things and the moral effect
is half We think we have done all
we could in the time at our disposal"
The increasing interest in poultry
culture was shown by the crowded
attendance at the recent exhibition at
the Grand Central palace. The cata-
logue contains 1882 entries. more than
100 belonging 10 one exhibitor, who
has made the business very profitable.
Strange as IL may seem. there are
many poultry fanciers in this city. who
contrive TO keep up a stock, notwith-
standing the limitation of space and
convenience. One OF the most remark
able of this class was the late Peter
Goelet, who kept handsome variety
which often attracted the notice OF
Broadway passengers. Poorer folks,
however, have coops in their little
yards and some lone people keep a
few chickens for company. The ex-
hibition has been a success, its gems
being the prize orpington, valued at
81 200, for which an offer of 81 900 was
refused
IL is now claimed on good authority
that the poultry business is one of the
most extensive industries in our coun-
try. Poultry and egg profits. indeed,
are said to excel even the gold and
silver product and last year the!
amounted to $4,000 900. Eggs. in
deed are now so cents a dozen for
fresh quality and at this rate the busi-
ness must be profitable.
Many New York boy sighed regret
fully as he pushed away his well clean
ed plate at the Thanksgiving dinner
and wished he could begin all over
again. To such enthusiasm Thanks
giving day feasters. young and old,
Thomas Cunningham must have been
an object OF envy.
For Cunningham eat nine meals
without finching. To be sure they
were comparatively small ones, for he
has less room to store away good
things than other men have. Never
theless he managed for his Thanksgiv-
ing dinner to dispose OF the following
menu:
A slice of the light and a slice OF
the dark; gravy and stuffing; mashed
potatoes, cranberry jelly; mince pie,
coffee.
Cummings is a young plumber who
lost three-fourths of his stomach by
an operation recently. The one-quart-
er of the organ remaining is working
overtime. For a long time before the
operation Cunningham could digest
little food and the restoration of his
stomach TO working order leaves him
with an appetite like typhoid fever
convalescent's. However, his dimin-
ished stomach will hold only a GER
tain quantity at a time. It's industri-
Gus. however, and is ready and willing
TO undertake the disposition of new
meal every two hours.
Cunningham could very well have
eaten his turkey dinner eight or nine
times If he had had enough turkey,
but catering 10 his appetite is prob
lem for man out Of work with wife
and a young baby TO feed as well.
