ROBBERY ON
RIVERSIDE

The Oak bar on Riverside ave-
nue. was robbed last night by some
one evidently familiar with the
place. This morning it was found
that the back door had been forced
and the sack in which the night
bartender places the money from
the register emptied of $40 and
some checks.
Henry Hortsman, the proprietor,
said this morning that this is the
second time the saloon has been
entered. Once an effort was made
to get in, but when the saloon
was opened up the sack, which
contained $3.50, was found in the
middle of the floor, where it had
evidently been dropped in the hur-
ried flight of the burglar.

ALEX WEARS
A WIG

They all come to 1t sooner or
later, these gentlemen with the
bald plates. Detective Macdonald
is the latest recruit. He appeared
at the police station this morning
with a brand new toupee looking
as bashful as a girl on her coming
out" And he's not bad looking
either. It's quite an improvement,
for before Alec was the bright and
shining light" of the orchestra row.
He left the order with hair
dresser the other day and played
joke on Tom Herndon, another
detective. When the hair dresser
inquired his name Macdonald gave
Herndon's. When the wig was
completed in all its glory yesterday
the hair dresser called up the sta
ton and asked for Herndon.
Pretty soon the others of the
force sitting around the station
room thought all fury had broken
loose when Herndon jumped into
the air, cracked his heels together
and gasped, What, wig? You're
crazy. l didn't order a wig. Per.
haps I need one, but don't want Il
yet"
The mistake was explained away
this morning, when Macdonald ap.
peared no longer hairless.

AID Min ISTRATION
AN EXPENSIVE
LUXURY

When Leopold P. Palen died in
this city, July %, he left an estate
consisting of personal property, a
part of which was covered by chat
tel mortgage to one Ellis. Neither
Ellis nor Palen's brother wanted
to be administrator. Lawyers got
busy in the probate court and after
conference on the 9th suggested
that the court appoint the court
bailiff, r. C. Hartford, to be tenn
porary administrator of the estate,
which was alleged to be worth
about $1,000.
On August 10, fourteen days
later, the special administrator,
stating that he had received $34
due the estate and had paid out
$3.50 for expenses, including car
fare and other items to the amount
of IS, put in bill for 500 for
his services and $50 for his lawyer,
Attorney Sommers of the Rookery.
Judge KEENAN, saw fit to cut his
bailiff's fees in two for the two
weeks and also halved the fee of
his attorney. In the two weeks
the mortgagor's chances of real
izing had deprecated by $92.50
administration.
Bailff Hartford has since been
made permanent administrator.
The bailiff's regular salary IL $50
per month.

 It works to perfection if you have your fish highly seasoned and well minced The addition of a little oyster crab chopped in each individual dish will make detection absolutely impossi- ble.
 It is wonderful, by the way, what a number of attractive dishes can be compounded with fish and oyster crabs One of the best is any white fish cooked very dry and then baked in little in- dividual copper saucepans. after thick sauce has been poured over 1t compounded mainly of cheese and sherry mixed together in yellow sauce.
