FOR PUBLIC VEAL, DOCTORS
GUARD PIES MADE BY MEN

Special to The Tie Id
GLOUCESTER, N. j., May S.-Un-
der strong guard of physicians. to
prevent any one from eating them and
thereby increasing the mortality rate
of the city, half hundred fearfully
and wonderfully made pies were placed
on exhibition for test in the Baptist
church here tonight. 1t was the out
put of pie baking contest by the men
of the congregation of which the Rev.
George w. Poole, the pastor, is the
strenuous exponent.
Mr.. Poole won first prize last year
with a I" combination pie' of mysterious
ingredients. 1t passed for prune pie.
This year he had active competition
among some of his flock and the women
who acted as judges called the corps
of medical men as jury. The doctors
hope to make an intelligent report to
the next. meeting of the County Medi-
cal society.
DR.. William McLennon, the city ply
sician; DR.. Duncan Blake, the inspector
of the board of health, and four other
physicians analyzed the pies. The
women decided that. the pastors pie,
made in three sections, OF what are de-
clared to be olives, oysters and seal
lops, was entitled to the honors again
The other men received '.honorabl BILE
mention" for mysteries they declined
to make public.

GIRLS STRIKE so AS
TO CATCH BEAUX
special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
1ARTl ORD; Conn, May S.-What
chance has a girl to catch a fellow if
she has to work nights? None, said
fifty girls of the United States Stamped
Envelope factory, and walked out.
They congregated in the hall, saying,
why, the very idea; who ever heard
of such thing?" and the management
finally came to terms with them and
promised to arrange working hours in
the future so that entertaining young
men will not be interfered with.
Eight of the girls were the primary
cause of all the trouble. In the rush
of business recently they were called
on to work nights. Last week it was
Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. 1t
might have been all right if it had been
Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday, but
all three together, hands running, was
too much Thursday night the eight
said "No!" emphatically, and went
home to put on their best and receive.
Friday the same, and Saturday, by all
the laws of lovers devoted to a tryst.
When the eight came to work they
were told they were discharged. The
fifty arose to the occasion. SlYberin-
tendent Claus tried in vain to persuade
them to stay.
"Only on the one condition that the
eight are taken back!" said the fifty.
"Why, the very idea of expecting such
a thing! Fellows can't get acquainted
and propose if they can't see us longer
than to call and take us home from
the factory. What chance have we of
getting a sweetheart when we can't go
out with him?"
The argument was new one to the
superintendent, but. it was sound
enough to cause him to capitulate.

ROUNDH0USE CAT RIDES
IS MILES ON LOCOMOTIVE
Special to- The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
BANGOR, Me-, May S.-The Port
land roundhouse cat arrived at Wa
terville today after what the train
crew considered an eventful trip.
When Pete Coyne's big engine left
the roundhouse of the Maine Central
at Portland yesterday morning pussy
was found asleep in front of the fire
mans seat in the cab. She was put
off and the engine was hooked on to
long string of freight cars.
When the train arrived at Bruns-
wick Engineer Coyne, while oiling,
found the cat at perfect ease in a
snug little place between the great
driving wheels alongside the boiler and
just above the airbrake cylinders At
his approach the cat arose and leisure
ly walked around the locomotive. All
the way from Brunswick persons at
the different stations saw the cat on
the front of the engine apparently
unconcerned and unmindful of the stiff
wind the flying cinders and the rattle
and bang of the machine as it passed
over the eighty-five miles of road.
When the train arrived in Water
vile the cat was as black as any
other black cat. 1t was given a bath
and placed in charge of one of the
train crews and is now back with the
old folk.

of town train.
Mr.. Steer, possessing great abun-
dance of crooked horns evidently took
a dislike to the advancing machine,
for, summing up all his strength, and
with head lowered almost to the
ground, he charged. The result was
the need of a large-sized derrick to
draw the beef into dead wagon The
auto, going at a moderate rate Of speed,
hit it's opponent head foremost and
sent him reeling back into the herd.
Though the wind protector was
smashed to a thousand pieces the au-
tomobilers escaped unhurt. All dam
ages to the car were settled for by the
owner of the steer, who was sending
him to slaughter when the accident
occurred.

Special to The Herald
ALTOONA, Pa, May S.-Two big
black bears trying to board an east
bound Pennsylvania limited, due here
at 10 o'clock this morning caused ex-
'citement among the passengers and
crew. The train was running between
Portage and Bens Creek on the summit
of the Alleghenies when the stenog-
rapher, John McEllinen, discovered the
bears in pursuit. Passengers watched
the race from the rear of the observa-
ton car.
One bear ran along the westbound
track, while the other took the east
bound track. At a curve in the road
the latter attempted to leap on the
train, but missed the observation plat
form. The bears kept up the chase
nearly two miles and were then lost TO
sight in the woods.
Walter Wynecoop, a brakeman,
noticed the same bears following the
limited several weeks ago. At that time
the pair broke UP tramps' camp, which
had been thriving at Kittanning Point
during the winter.
