New York. Oct. 13.-It seems impor
tant 10 note. because OF the amazinl
life and activity OF the Fairbanks
cocktail incident. that the before din
ner cocktail is losing favor at formaI
dinners. Not many years ago at bis
dinners guests we're offered choice ol
the two favorite cocktails. and nothing
else; they being served from butler's
trays In the reception room. Then a
decanter OF sherry was added, the de
canter being placed in a silver zee
pail. and guests taking It II they pre-
ferred II to either cocktail. At private
dinners lately have seen the choice
OF appetizer restricted to sherry and
another sweet wine. with no cocktail
in sight. At club dinner recently
where there were 7S guests. I noted
that majority OF the guests ia the
reception room declined the cocktails
and took sherry. of course, sandwiches
OF caviar are served with the before
dinner drinks.

PENITENT|ARY
The Inmates at Allegheny
Created Almost an
Open Riot
EXTRA CARE WAS TAKEN

Pittsburg, Oct 13.-There were few
or convicts than usual at Chapel ex-
ercises in the Western penitentiary
this afternoon while the guards over
those in the chapel were greatly in
creased. There we're no signs of trou-
BILE today. but extra precautions tax
en-, brought to light the facts of what
was almost an open riot in the chapel
last Sunday.
Every method has been made by the
authorities to keep the matter quiet,
but Ii has developed that the con-
victs who some time ago were denied
the privilege of moving pictures OF
racy nature at Sunday afternoon chap
ell rebelled last Sunday rather point
edly against singing gospel hymns.
Matters were so bitter on the part oil
the convicts that Chaplain Milligan
and Prison Inspector Reed we're fore
ed to leave the stage though the
hlsses and catcalls OF the prisoners
and efforts to sing gospel hymn fell
fat
The rlngleaders of the trouble, II is
understood have since been In the
dungeon They were not present at
todays chapel and the sight of ad-
dltional guards overawed those who
might have baked at the religious
services. More than a month ago
permission was given by the peniten-
tiary authorities for the exhibition OF
some so-called religious pictures in a
moving picture machine In chapel.
The operator got hold OF the wrong
films by mistake and instead treated
the convicts to some pictures OF bath
ing resort girls and matters still more
racy. Inspector Reed shouted to close
down the picture machine. and he had
II thrown from the prison. There was
mutterings from the convicts then and
II was not until last Sunday that Mr..
Reed again appeared in chapel, and
when he and Chaplain Nilligan in
structed Guard Griffith who leads the
chapel singing to strike up Throw
Out the Life Line" the conyicts broke
into shrlll catcalls and whistles ef-
fectually stopping the singing OF the
hymn. Inspector Reed was made the
object Of some ugly remarks from
angry conyiots and with Chaplain Mil
ilgan he left the chapel hurriedly.
The chapel exercises were brought to
an abrupt close. and IL is understood
that the leaders will not be permitted
IN chapel for another six months.
II was In this chapel some years
ago that certain convicts had planned |
a wholesale prison delivery, and be-
gan their work by an assault on War

surrectlon was quickly smothered. but

Rich Mans Panic Hurts YACHTING.

New York, Oct. 13.-The fact that
the Royal Swedish Yacht club Is un-
able to figure out from the reply OF Its
challenge whether or not the New
York Yacht club wants a race or
doesn't want race. is making men
about town smile a knowing smile.
II is beginning to be limited that the
objections made by the New York
club are not based upon an objection
to advertise Sir Thomas Lpton's del
icatessen business. or the short keel
boat the Swedes offer, but to the ex-
pense of another race at this time.
There are but few men in the New
York Yacht club who have not felt
the pinch of the market, and the mum.
Der ready TO chip in to the quarter
Of a million fund that is needed
would not overcrowd motor car.
That is commonplace sort of explain
alton, but the chances are that II Ia
the right one. The rich mans panic.
as 1t was called, which began last
March, was not misnamed.

FRIGHTENED WIFE
Sends for Husband-He Comes But
Finds No Burglar on Premises.

Believing that she noticed stranger
about their home and hearing a noise
In the chicken coop which led her
to believe the chickens were being
carried away by one who had no legal
right to them. Mrs. Edward Elsaes-
ser telephoned to her husband at his
place of business on Piedmont street
on last Friday night about Q o'clock
requesting him to hasten home and
drive the supposed thief from the
premises. Soon after the word was
received by the alarmed husband he
started on his way TO their home on
Aultman avenue. When he arrived
and no shooting iron being at hand,
II is said, he armed himself with
sickle. a brick bat and hatchet that
was found AZ a convenient place and
went searching about the house both
inside and out on the lookout for
the intruder After a long hunt he
says he could see no one and on ex-
animation OF the chicken coop he
found II intact. His friends. have
given out the word that his relating
of the incident TO them sounds very
much like the dream OF a rarebit
fiend.

new YORK SHOPS
Are Complaining Of Lack OF Buyers
Among the Rich Of Gotham
Society.

New York, Oct. 13.-Some of the
Fifth avenue shops. especially those
which have moved from much less
expensive quarters further down town,
are complaining about the protected
country house season. At Newport
alone more than 100 Of the big cot
tages are still in commission. and
the same story comes from the Berk-
shires and other resorts OF New
Workers.. A few years ago Newport
was practically deserted by cottagers
before October, and the Berkshire
set returned to town soon after that.
This year Thanksgiving day house
parties will be almost as numerous
as Fourth OF July parties few years
ago. This is hard on the shopkeep-
ers who depend on that trade. and
worse is to come, because by the time
the eastern and northern resorts are
abandoned II Is time for the fashion
able TO fit south. One OF the big
gest OF the New Fifth avenue shops
has $50 less salespeople employed
than II had when IL occupied It's Tor
mer downtown place. No wonder the
shopkeepers groaned when, the other
day. Mrs. C. p. Huntington arrived
from abroad and declared personal
purchases upon which she paid Sl0,-
900 in duties. With one set Of the
rich wearing out their old frocks in
the country, and the other frankly
admitting that they find II cheaper to
shop abroad and pay duty. than to
shop here. there are going to be some
grand old bargain sales announced
shortly.

1hlS Dell, SO to say, is woven en-
tirely of silk, the threads crossing
one another in multiple directions
and forming a strong but delicate
and water tight structure. The
door is directed downward, and the
cavity is filled with air which, shin
ing through the white silken walls,
gives it a beautiful silvery semi
transparency In this curious abode
the spider dwells. Snitten with
sudden hunger, she will abandon
her retreat SO adroitly that the bell
remains water tight. She then scours
the water for insects, which she
either devours on the surface or else
after returning home But how is
the bell kept stored with air?
Whenever the supply becomes ex-
hausted, the spider carries down a
small bubble of air from the surface
and deity releases it under the
web. Some think that the air be-
comes entangled in the dry, hairy
coat, others that the rear legs

Steamships its silken thread is to the spider there
few practical problems battling to the spider
with this aid How, for instance, spider escape
when placed at the bottom of clean dry goblet?
The answer is that with its spinner it cannot only
make rope wherewith to descend from above, but
also scaling ladder. Standing its front legs,
the spider raises the rear end of the body as far
possible against the scalable surface and attaches
thereto few strands of silk Given this foothold,
the spider mounts, adds another rung, and is soon
at liberty.
And the aeropane? The young of many species
of spider practise aeronautcs AS preparatory
measure they always appear to consider carefully
which way the wind is blowing, and, turning their
breast toward the quarter from which it comes,
they stand on tptoe and raise the body. Suddenly
they will dart four five threads from their spnners

wind They be than yard in length

where it may be perched and is quickly borne from

and the air current does the rest One great natural
ist has stated that the aeronautc spider propel
its thread in any direction, either in stationary air
or in breeze, and that electricity is the one and
only reason explanation. But it would be weari-
some to analyze fully such perplexing conun-
drum; though equal perplexity is inspired by
