LAYING OUT STREETS
DeiTd of Aldermen tho Only Power
 Under the Charter.

Mayor Thoms is quoted as stating that the city is having lot of bother with streets laid out by private indi- viduals. This may be true but the trouble is much more serious with streets laid out by public officials. Wonder If his honor knows whether 1t was private individuals or public officials that ruined thousands of dol lars worth of property by layout of streets at the Mulcahy school? No body. whether public official or private individual should be permitted to lay out street. The charter confers such power on, the board of aldermen and until m order to that effect has been passed the engineers plans are no more binding than similar work per formed by somebody else

MAHER RIDES DERBY WINNER.
American Jockey Lands Classic Race for Second Time With Spearmint.

Epson. England, May 31.-The Derby, the blue ribbon event of the turf. was run over the historic course on Epson Downs yesterday and was won by Sir Tatton Sykes's bay colt, Spearmint by Carbine-Maid of the Mint, which was ridden by the Amer ican jockey, Danny Maher.
 J. J. Dugdale's chestnut colt. Pic ton, was second and the Duke of IWestminster's brown colt, Troutbeck, was third. Twenty-two horses ran. ' The betting was to 1 against Spearmint. IS to against Picton and 33 to against Troutbeck. Spearmint won by length, and two lengths separated Picton and Troutbeck at the finish. Leopold de Rothschild's Radium was fourth. He was ridden by George Thursby. the only amateur rider in yesterdays race, who rode second in the Derby of 1904 on John O Gaunt. He is the brother of Sir John Thursby. No amateur jockey ever won the Derby.
 Lally, the favorite, finished in flf- teenth place.
 ] The kings horse, Multi Secundus. sadly belied his name, finishing last. Storm was eleventh. He was ridden by Milton Henry. an American jock ey. The time of the race was 2 min- utes 36 4-5 seconds, record. Lally was badly left at the start.
 The weather was perfect and the attendance was greater than ever be- fore.
 The many Americans stopping al the London hotels were jubilant over the result of the race. They pinned their faith on Maher and backed Spearmint heavily. Last night the jockey was hero 10 the American tourists. At dinners in the big hotels his health was repeatedly drunk by crowds of his compatriots who won much money on his mount, It Is no fxaggeration to say that every Amer lean at Epson yesterday backed Ma her to win and Skeets Martin for place.

HUNTING STRAY MONKEY.
Eimian Steals Painters Dinner, But Balks at the Pie.

Danbury, May 31.-Since last Sun day stray monkey. which escaped from Washburn & D'Alma's animal show last Saturday night. has been Ihaking considerable of a stir in va- rrous parts of the city. and hundreds of people have spent hours of time in attempting to capture 1t. The anil ntal was first seen sitting on the roof of greenhouse owned by H. H. Tom hhson. Mir Tomlinson tried to cap tttres it, but 1t disappeared and was afterwards found to have been in hiding in George H. Brasted's barn of Maple avenue.
 While the family of Lieutenant C. w. yudson was eating supper Tues day evening the monkey climbed up tfse shutter of the dining room win dbw and greatly startled the people inl the house. After sitting on the raof of the house for a time 1t dis appeared again. but turned up the nfxt morning on Morris street. where itl opened a lunch box belonging to a painter and devoured the mans din- ~r with the exception of piece of Apple pie.

Fireless Cooking in the Northwest Woods

til its presence is desired at the table. There
is no possibility of the meat having been over
done. Many hours required to cook the
meat, but after that it is a matter of small mo-
ment if it is left to the action of the heat few
additional hours. The chances are that when the
meat is taken from the oven it will be found to
be done to turn and it will be voted by those
who have partaken to be the nnest, juciest piece
of meat encountered.
While it is a fact that the meat cooked in this
manner is particularly well-Aavored, its tooth
some qualities are in a great measure due to the
seasoning secrets of the cooks. Men who go into
this country on hunting expeditions rarely ask
their eook-guides about their methods of cook
ing further than what is to be seen, for they
would get little satisfaction. There are certain
secrets relative TO the OF herbs and some 9TH
er tricks which are handed down from one gen
Grafton to another and which will never get out
side OF the family. Sometimes a guide will get
more of reputation for his cooking than for his
knowledge OF the country and his services will
be in special demand by those excursionists who
are wont TO give some attention TO the creature
comforts on these hunting expeditions. These
hunters guard their culinary secrets jealousy
and hand them down only to their successors
along the line

a little song about the love that endureth for

Los Angeles herald., 1906-12-30

On many of the best known portages the
guides set up the tents on the old camping
places, because there they find the half dozen
flat stones needed to construct the oven,
On top of these they build fire, and when
the stones are red hot the Indians set them up
in the form of covered box, inside OF which
has been placed the saddle of venson, pair OF
partridges or ducks, perhaps bears ham.
Instead of the heavy felt of the German eontrlv-
ance they cover it all over with thick moss, the
green side in, over which is piled soil, If it may
be had conveniently.
The next morning the roast is certain of be-
ing cooked to a delicious turn. 1t has either
been spitted on a clean wand of birch, which i'm
parts no ill flavor to the meat, OF else grille Of
sticks has been laid across the oven, upon which
its contents have rested
Sometimes the easier plan is adopted of al
lowing a sharp pointed stick to project through
from the outside at one corner, the outer end be-
ing stuck firmly into the ground. In any case
the object is to keep the joint from touching the
sides of the oven, which seldom very clean,
Beyond the preparation of the oven and the
building of the fire required to heat the stones

have never amounted to anything. The chief
reason is, of course, the amusing reticence that
governs these matters, as we'll as the extrava-
giant pride of the girls. Oh, yes, it is, ladies. A
girl would not join club like that because at
twenty she has either decided that she will re-
main single all her life, or else that she can have
the pick of the young men in her suburb the
moment she likes to offer the favored one any
encouragement. If she joined a matrimonial
club it would be tacit confession that she could
MT get any offers outside, and no girl will admit
cold harsh truth like that. When a girl re
mains single we all know that she has had plenty
of offers, but not one that was good enough to
accept. To believe less than that would be to set
ourselves up as a people with respect for the
truth, and whatever our enemies have alleged
against us, l do not believe anybody has ever
gone to the length of cruel charge like that. Oh
course, clear matter of fact, it is a girls
business to get married, and she ought to fee
proud to announce publicly that she is willing tc
assume this responsibility and is anxious to have
the best opportunity of selecting suitable part
ner. Instead of which, we say "Hush!" and turr
down the gas though the circumstances were
those of which both parties ought to be thorough
ly and heartily ashamed, And it ought not there
fore to occasion us any surprise to find that mos
! times they are ashamed.
