for Bad work I'm Pace.
Baltimore, Nd, oct. 27.-What promised
10 be a big coup to-day at the last day g
meeting at the Gentlemen's Driving Park
was spoiled by the vigilance OF the judges.
II was evident that several drivers had
planned q scheme TO defeat the mare,
Bell in the 20 class pacing event. Bell
had won two heats yesterday. To-day. in
the third and fourth heats the judges be-
came aware of the fact that the mare
was not being driven TO win. They took
Driver Kelly out of the sulky and re-
placed him with Vail Vail went out to

a cabbage very fine and put it in

Barber Cuts Blind Mans Throat.

An argument in barber's chair
will probably cost William Gillen,
Sc years old, of 511 Columbia Street,
Brooklyn, his life. He is now in a
precarious condition at the Long
Island College Hospital with his
throat cut. Gillen is blind and finds
his way about from street to street
with only cane to help him. Wed
nesday afternoon he threaded his
way from his home to the barber
shop of Joseph Buffalo, at 4OS Co
lumbia Street. The old man didn't
know that Joseph Buffalo, razor in
hand, was standing at the head OF
chair No. until Buffalo grabbed
him by the back of the collar and
pulled him into that chair. The
blind customer demonstrated, and
Buffalo retorted hotly as he lathered
his customers face. He had begun
to shave the man, and suddenly drew
the razor across his throat, press
ing it down, so that the cash it made
was long and deep. Gillen gurgled
and fell out of the chair. Butfalo
ran and the others went to the old
mans aid.

RROU,ED FISH

The following method was given at
a cooking school conducted by Miss
Craig. First she showed the house
wives how to broil fish in their gas
ranges. A big white fish was laid
on the broiler skin side down, the
wires having first been creased tc
prevent the fish from sticking. A
generous seasoning of butter, pepper
and salt was put over the fish.
"When the flesh separates from the
bones the fish is DONE" said Miss
Craig.
"The sooner the fish is sent to the
table after it is taken from the water
the better. Nothing else spoils so
quickly. There is also more danger
of ptomaine poisoning in fish than
in other articles of diet. The flesh
danger is to be avoided when eat
ing fish"
With the fish was served a sauce
made of grated cucumber with. sea-
soning of salt, pepper, vinegar and
oil. The sauce was placed on the
ice to become cold.
The vegetable course was stuffed
onion, which is nice with fish. The
skins were removed and the onion
parboiled for ten minutes in salted
water and the centers removed. The
cavities were filled with a mixture
of finely minced chicken, bread
crumbs, green pepper and tomato
juice.
For dessert fruit cocktail was
served. It was made of diced
oranges, pineapples and strawberries,
sprinkled with powdered sugar and
packed in ice to become very cold.
Cherries can be used instead of the
strawberries.

Thirty Fall With scaifold.

Overloaded with brick, plaster and
cindered granite and the weight OF
80 men at work, scaffold on the
second flood of the new building at
24-26 Vesey Street broke and the
men fell, covered with the debris
from the scaffold and a part of the
heavy brick wall, two stories to the
basement below. A dozen were in
iured. The 80 men were at work
on one immense scaffold, which was
attached to the newly laid brick wall
on the second floor. A large lit,
used to carry materials to them, had
deposited it's load when, without
warning, the fastenings to the wall
broke and the scaffold went to the
basement. Part of the brick wall
fell on top of the men, and 1t is
miraculous that more were not SER
iously injured.

COMMERCIAL COLUMN.
Weekly Review of Trade and Latest
Market Reports.

New York.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Retail trade expands with the
advancing season and other depart
ments are forwarding goods as rap
idly as the shortage of cars and
scarcity of labor will permit. Mer-
camille collections are not as prompt
as they would be if more normal
rates prevailed in the money market,
but there is little embarrassment or
complaint Autumn conditions are
most satisfactory and the outlook
for winter is bright because of the
large crops that are now almost COM
pletely assured.
Manufacturing reports continue
favorable and there was a conspic-
uous increase in orders for cotton
goods that was due to exhausted
stocks in the hands of converters
and jobbers and the belief that the
raw material would decline no fur
ther. Woolens are still the least
active of the leading industries, and
unless clothiers order literally there
will soon be much idle machinery.
Traffic facilities are still inadequate,
yet the railways report an increase
of 1915 per cent. in earnings thus
far compiled for September, as COM
pared with similar returns last year.
Textile conditions show improve
ment, notably better feeling exist
ing in the primary markets for cot
ton goods despite the small decline
in raw materials. Buyers are more
willing to pay full quotations, and it
is now rather matter of delivery
than price.
Liabilities of commercial failures
thus far reported for September
amounted to $4,042,507, of which
81, ,SS9,707 was in manufacturing,
$1,96S,206 in trading and $1S4,594
in other commercial lines. Failures
this week numbered 1873 in the
United States, against 240 last
year"

who knows what he thinks, and ROD

Umbrella? Foolish! In twenty
minutes it'll be clear as bell. ALI

''Now, of course, Jones and ROD
DOIA AAe-NN'
I would rather lug an umbrella use
lessly, following Jones, get drencn-
ed following Robinson-be led py a
man who had mind of his own ana
wasn't afraid to speak it-than TO
hear what I would get from Snibbly
If I asked him:
"'Better take an umbrella, hadn't
I?' l say to Snibbly, to hear MIN
saying:
"'Ye-es, I suppose it would be
safer
!, "Snibbly doesn't know what he
thinks about the weather or about
anything else; and if he does know
what he thinks, he doesn't say it.
He sides in with me; he thinks 1t
would be safer!
81 like the man with mind OF
his own, and he is everywhere the
man that makes the wheel go round.
