Ways in Which the Delicious
Flavor May Be Impaired.

Mint is always in favor and a mint
bed will develop with the least hint
of encouragement The uses of the
herb are countless.
Many sweet dishes are improved by
the flavor of leaf or two chopped
fine. Chopped mint may be added to a
cooked vegetable, a meat salad, an
apple or celery salad or to cream Of
pea or potato soup.
For a mint sherbet, the leaves are
merely bruised slightly, add cupful,
packed down, to a pint OF boiling wa
ter; steep for 20 minutes Add the
grated yellow rind and juice of a
lemon and cupful of sugar.
Cover and let infuse until cold.
Strain and pour into the can of the
freezer, packing with equal quanti-
ties of ice and salt; freeze tc a mush.
Remove the dasher, scrape the ice
from the sides of the can and let re-
main In until ready to serve. Serve
in small green glass sherbet cups
aecked with gold.
If preferred, the following fruits
may be added to the sherbet. To the
quantity mentioned add the juice of
three oranges, a cupful of pineapple
juice and the milk from one cocoanut
Turn into the freezer, and when half
frozen, stir in the stif1y whipped
whites Of two eggs and wine glass
full of any preferred wine.
Mint sauce for spring lamb or for

ROMANCE OF THIS HIETCRIC

Occasionally the early history of

with the sale of Almont, the pic

Hudson. A New Yorker, Cord Meyer,
has purchased the estate from Robert
S. Livingston, a grandson of the orig
inal Robert s. Livingston, and thus
there has passed out Of the control of
the family the famous country seat
which has been held by them for up
ward of century.
But it was the career of the original
owner, Col. De Veaux, man of mys-
terry, which made Almont famous
throughout the country in those early
days. Favored of the English nobility

They've got to be high strung to be
speedy. There are times when ball
players a-rail are as nervous and peev-
ish and fidgety and hard to deal with
as bunch OF babies on an immigrant
train. They become travel sore. They
always travel in the best sleepers, of
course, but this makes comparatively
small diminution of the discomfort

Not only that, but many of them
smoke during all their waking hours
when they're not playing ball. Worse
yet, quite lot of them smoke ciga-
rettes. But smoking, even inveterate
smoking, doesn't seem to bother them
or interfere with their speed. But not
many of them drink. This fact ought
to be better known Some ball PLAYERS
who hardly know the taste of drink
have the reputation of being drinking
men, But here we have the cOmbina-
ton: The extreme fatigue of almost in
cessant travel, no dietary system what
ever, smoking on the part of almost
all, and pretty late hours for good
many, and yet these ball playing ath-
letes, unlike any other known kind OF
athlete go right 90 playing the game,

be that they're a mighty rugged and

Lincoln, Neb., May IA coroner Is
inquiry into the murder of Mrs: Sid
Mackey by her husband and the sub
sequent suicide of the latter near Fair
bury, Neb., discloses a tragedy unique
in the criminal annals of the state.
Mackey was wealthy widower with
several grown children, and married the
woman eighteen months ago. They
quarreled frequently. and Mackey,
broodinrg over his unhappiness, bought
On Saturday morning a neighbor wo-
man entered the house and found
Mackey's body on bed. A CHASTITY
wound was in the temple and pistol
was clutched in his hand Several days
before he had told the neighbors that
his wife had gone on a visit, and it
was not until the coroner reached the
scene, six hours later. that the woman 3
corpse was discovered in another room.
Mrs. Mackey's body lay on a bed
partly covered by shr9ud, and a bul,
ner of death. The hands were crossed
above her breast and her head was al
most completely hidden by mass of
flowers. A small table stood at the
head of the bed and on it were Bible
and cross with charred candles on
either side Of the cross.
Mackey had held funeral services
over her body every day for several
days. A note scrawled before he took his
own life explained that he had prayed
for her forgiveness for the unhappiness
she had caused him.
The children requested a verdict by
the coroner's jury that Mackey was
insane, but the finding was one Of muir
der and suicide.

3 CITIES SHAKEN
BY AN EXPLOSION
Bridgeport Windows Shattered
and People in Panic When
lMagazine Blows Up.

Bridgeport, Conn.,, May 14.-Four
magazines in the testing grounds Of the
Union Metallic Cartridge company on
the East Side exploded at an early
hour this morning, the conclusion shak-
ing the whole city and causing great
alarm among many persons who be-
lieved that there had been an earth
quake. .. ,sz.... -.- ..--
Windows We're shattered and In many
places croekery fell from the shelves,
but no serioas damage was reported.
Two Explosions.
There were two explosions with but
a seconds interval between and a
large amount Of powder was destroyed.
So far as known no person was hurt.
Following the explosion many per-
sons clad only in their night garments
fed to the street, believing the earth
place. Many women became hysterical
and it was some time before they were
treasured.
$4,000 Pounds Of Powder. .
The four magazines which exploded
contained 1000 pounds of. powder
each. None of the other buildings Of
the cartridge company was damaged
and the four adjacent magazines were
unnarmeQ.
" The cause of the explosion is I'M
known. Most Of the plate glass win
dows in the city were shattered and
the isolation hospital, small structure
half mile away, was wrecked.
A panic occurred among the inmates
Of the town farm, but no one was hurt.
The magazines were located on Success
hill in the northern part of the city.
Many Windows Shattered.
The full force Of the explosion was
felt in the city proper, and apparently
there is not single large pane Of plate
glass left in the business buildings. AS
for private residences, few escaped
without broken windows
The damage seems to be confined en-
tirely to- broken glass and already the
Union Metallic Cartridge company has
given notice that property owners will
be compensated for damage of this ma
ture. -.
These people continued in nervous
state for several hours being In fear
Of further explosions. The city was
early flooded with inquiries from other
places for particulars of the disturbance
which had even more resemblance to an
earthquake than locally.
From all parts of the state came word
that the shocks were felt with force
enough to awaken people from sound
sleep. -. s.-=-

desperate character along the north
shore of Staten island, and has served
at least one term in prison for rob
berry, according to the police. There
have. been two burglaries in the pre-
cinct since he became a fugitive.
There are many residents on the
north shore who believe he may have
entered the Spier house on the. night
of the tragedy and that he would have
used his revolver if cornered.. They
would at least like to see his finger
prints compared with those found on
the Spier silverware and preserved at
