BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

-The latest entry in the coming forty-five tournament is a lady's team.
 There was rather lively meet ing of the improvement committee Inst evening and 1t was after Il o'clock when Chairman Henderson adjourned the gathering.
 To-day being Saturday and as the coasting was good, the streets in this section were alive with children who were having q barrel of fun coasting. There has not been much sliding dur ing the winter 30 the youths took ad- vantage of the good going to-day and almost every boy and girl had some kind of an old sled. Sliding is all right on some of the streets but child ren should be kept off those roads where 1t is dangerous and where they are not allowed to coast on.
 Scarlet fever seems to be very prevalent in Brooklyn at the present time and several cases have already been reported. In one family in this section there are three children down with the disease and some of the moth- CTS are little alarmed lest an epi- demic of the fever should occur. The present winter has been noticeable for the lack of sickness up to the present but it looks as if the disease germs were now working overtime as there are many persons on the sick list ill this district.
 About one hundred and twenty five couple took part in the grand march at the Brooklyn Athletic club last evening when the members cele- brated the seventeenth anniversary of the clubs existence The program as printed in last nights paper was sue cessfully carried out after which the dance program, which consisted of twenty numbers, was begun. Lallier's orchestra furnished music for the ex- cellent program which had been pre- pared. At 12:3O those present sat down to delicious spread and several de- lightful toasts were given. It was early this morning when the gathering dispersed all asserting that the mem bers of the Brooklyn Athletic club were as good as the next when it comes to entertaining.
 "A peddler's horse slipped and fell on the ice on Bank street near North Riverside street this morning, and it was interesting to watch the owner. who seemed to know little or nothing about horse flesh, sndeavoring to bring 1t to It's feet. His efforts were laughable and the nag would in all probability be there yet only Ofilcer Brickel, who came along at the time, gave the fellow hand. It was miserable looking plug and when it got to its feet after much difneulty, some one in the crowd which had collected, yelled to the officer "Shoot it and put it out of misery" The officer gave the owner call for having the horse out to-day. The animal was covered with scabs and cuts and was in such condition that 1t was cruelty to use 1t. Although the fellow who holler.d shoot 1t" was only joking. still he was not wide of the mark and 1t would undoubtedly have been a humane act if a bullet had been sent through the w0uld-be trotter.
 Medicine buying is different from the buying of other goods-your health depends upon what you purchase. You get what you ask for in its best quail ty at OUT store. A. O. Walker, the druggist.

OLD CASE UP AGAIN
Probate Court Hearing the Arlington Hotel Sale
 Affair Teddy.

Affair To-day.
 There was probate hearing today into the conditions of the sale few years ago of the Arlington hotel, by Charles Sickmund, to John A. Bagley and Henry Hellmann. It was insti- gated by Attorney E. B. Kelley, ad ministrator on the estate of Mir Sick mund, represented by Attorney Church. It will be recalled that over a year ago suits were instituted against MT Bagley and Mir Hellmann to recover portions of the estate. Attor- ney Bauby, who drew up the bill of sale of the hotel, was the only one ex- amined today. The agreement to sell and buy between the above mentioned was drawn up In April, 1903, by Mir Bauby. The price was $4.0O0, but th's included the liabilities of the hotel. [ the debts of the concern exceeded A. 900, Mir Sickmund was to pay the ex. tra amount. Fifty dollars was paid on account and at a subsequent meet. ing s1.000 in cash was paid.
 So far as Mfr Bauby could recall the indebtedness amounted to chattei mortgage for s1.000. held ny s0hn W. Gaffney; $325 due Edward Hellmann. for which he was given a note; and n claim held by the Boston Furniture Co, the amount of which Mir Bauby did not know. After all the indebted ness was counted up there was com ing to Mir Sickmund about S1,429. and for this amount Attorney Bauby was given Hellmann and Bagley's note and 1t was to be paid in fourteen monthly miscellaneous, dating from July 1, 1908. After three or four months, however, all concerned met in the Arlington and, according to Mir Bauby's evi- dence. Mir sickmund was paid s1.40O. A short time after this Mir Sickmund died. This closed the examination.

Some peanuts that are bought ready
roasted are of a light yellow color.
Others, however, are pronounced bru-
nettes. There Is n reason for this.
The great American peanut will re-
main crisp only acslay or two after
roasting and In damp weather only a
few hours. 1t absorbs moisture rap
Idly, so that two days after roasting
the finest nuts lose their crispness and
ire to all intents and purposes as
though they had never been cooked.
The Italian and Greek peanut men
tresllen up their stocks by roasting
rgain and reroasting When the proc
ess has been repeated three or four
times, though, the peanut begins to
take ON a tawny hue. which Is consid-
cred Objectionable by those who have

fore sold at a discount to Greeks and
italians who have stands near railroad
stations and the cheaper resorts. who
can roast. reroast and re-reroast them

Two handsome portraits, genuine
photographers, such as sell in art stores
at So each, the subjects being Edwin S.
Stuart and Lewis Emery, Jr., candi-
dates for the Governorship of Pennsyl-
vania, will be issued as art supplements
to the Sunday North American for Oc-
tober q and October 29.
The Stuart picture will be issued on
October q and that of Mr.. Emery on

The editor of this paper has received

ever been issued as special supple
ment.
As the editions of the Sunday North

paper in advance to insure delivery.

Dear Sir: A pound Of good meat and
no bone Is worth more than half
pound of meat and half-pound Of
bone; but there are, as you say, great
many people who won't pay more than
a certain price by the pound. Give
'em bone; that's right; give 'em plenty
of bone
There are people who won't pay
more than $3.50 gallon for paint give
'em bone.
There's no better school than expert
ence; cost is high but the lesson is
never forgotten.
Let man paint two houses alike
same size; one Devoe, the other that
sl.50 paint. Hebuys Legations of each,
and pays So a day for labor-$3 day
is So a gallon, easier reckoning.
He has to buy two gallons more of
the 81 80 paint; and has two gallons
left of Devoe; u gallons $1.50, S1S; s
gallons $1.75; $l4; $4 more for "cheap"
paint.
lie pays ~ gallon Tor painting: 3
gallons $24; II gallons $36; $12 more
for painting 'cheap" paint.
He'll buy the less-gallons paint after
that. If people are slow to learn, it's
because they keep-on buying bone
meat. Give 'em plenty of bone.
