WHAT YALE MEN EAT.
They Average O9D Pounds or Meat Day
for One Thing.

Some statistics have been published by the
Yale Dining Club 10 show what the l,O6S
members OF that organization who eat at
the Yale commons manage to get away with
in the line Of food. In a week, for instance
$500 pounds Of meat. 800 dozen eggs and
9,lOO rolls and loaves Of bread disappear
down the Yale throat.
The daily consumption is about like this
Nine hundred and twenty-nine pounds Of
meat. subdiyided into 2S0 pounds of roast
beef, 2s4 pounds Of poultry, Ia pounds OF
lamb, las pounds Of pork and 70 pounds OF
steak; 100 loaves Of bread. 200 rolls. so
pounds Of oatmeal. 200 quarts OF milk, 100
quarts Of cream, 100 pounds OF table butter
and a like amount for cooking purposes,
and from three to four punches Of bananas,
as well as 20 bushels OF potatoes.
Two hundred gallons OF soup Is prepared
daily for two meals. Several years ago,
when the club had 1 $50 members. the figures
showed an equal preference for meat but
not so decided a leaning toward eggs.

CRILLS WOMEN WRITER'S
EVELYN THAW CALLS THE GIRL
REPORTERS cats"
Declares She Did Not Marry Harry
For Money; Gould Have Welded
Man Much Weather.

New York, Jan 29.-Evelyn Thaw
today turned on the woman writers
who have been chronicling her move
ments during the present trial of heI
husband
"Cats," was the way she character
lied them in an interview issued at the
Tombs when she arrived to see her
husband today. "These women writ
ers have written about me as woman
without a soul,' said Mrs. Thaw
''but | wonder how many of them
would measure up to the standard of
good womanhood had they suffered
the trials / have?
"Their declaration that I married
Harry for his money is cruel base
lie.
"Why if I had wanted money,
could have married man worth much
more than he. 1t has been Harry's
money that has caused all our troubles
1t has always been barrier between
us.
neither soul nor conscience in writing
about me. Their great masses of lies
have created prejudice in the public
mind against me, which is unwarrant-
ed.
Cali that Harry and I want is for
him to be acquitted and to be let
alone" she concluded.

PAID $40 FOR A HUBBY
HE TOOK LEAVE AND CARRIED
AWAY HER MONEY.
Bought Fellow at a Store, Proved to
Be a "Phony," Willing to Give
Him Away.

st. Louis, Jan. 29.-Mrs. Rosa Adler,
of l427 Cass avenue, had been wonder
ing since Sunday what had become of
her recently welded husband until she
yesterday found the following note he
had left pinned to pair of trous-
ers:
Il have gone away to San Francisco

bother me. The money and iewelry |
took you can have if you come to San
Francisco. You need not be afraid for
your money. If you come to San Fran

Mrs. Adler mournfully stated later
yesterday that the money and iewelry
mentioned represent a value of $500.
According to Mrs. Adler's statement
she bought Reuben Adler from Morris
Grab, clothing store proprietor, for
$40.

showed me Reuben and / liked him"
said Mrs. Adler. 81 gave Morris $40

MERCURY TOOK A DROP
GOLD STORAGE PLANT OPENED
DOORS LAST NIGHT.
From the North Pole Came
Down With Icy Wind That Made
Coal Bin Trembie.

The mercury took sudden drop
last night, and exceeded all expecta-
tions in its decline. Twenty-Five de-
grees below zero was the record made
this morning by several thermometers
in exposed places, although thermome-
tiers ON Front street as rule did not
shew SO low record. The wind that
blew last night caused the cold to get
into buildings as it never has before
this winter. Coal had to be piled on
in keeping quantities, and the run on
the coal bin was severe.
Those who thought that the climate
was changing were disappointed when
they went out this morning, and one
could not help wonder what became
of the foolish robins, caterpillars and
other things that were reported out
last week
The cold spell has at least made the
ice and coal men happy. The ice yester-
day was fourteen inches thick, and in
day or two is expected to take on
another two or three inches and be
thick enought to harvest. The work
of preparing the fields on the Mime
sofa river above the mouth of the
Blue Earth is in full progress, and
the ice is being sawed into squares
preliminary to loading and transport
ing. The work of hauling will begin
in day or two, and fifty teams will
be employed by the three principal
ice firms The work will be pushed
from now on.

MADE A GOOD SHOWING
SHAKAN SALMON COMPANY AZ
FAIRS IN FINE SHAPE.
Annual Meeting of the Stockholders
Was Held Yesterday, Election
of Officers; the Reports.

The annual meeting of stockholders
OF the Shakan Salmon company was
held at the office of the secretary
yesterday afternoon. The president of
the company, Mr.. L. p. Hunt, made a
full statement of the affairs of the
company which showed it to have en-
ioyed a year of unusual business
prosperity. A six per cent dividend
was declared, besides sum equal to
30 per cent of the capital stock was
set aside for the redemption of OBJ
legations assumed by the company in
its purchase of the property year
ago. In addition to this excellent
showing the company expended over
$4,000 in the purchase of new ma
chinery, and has on hand surplus
of cash assets in the way of lumber
and cannery supplies to the value of
over $4,000, all of which were paid
for out of the profits of the years
business.
Mr.. T. j. German of Seattle, one of
the heaviest stockholders in the COM
pany and a gentleman who is largely
interested in three other salmon can
neries-two on the Sound and one
in Aiaska-was present at the meet
ing. He congratulated the stockhold-
ers of our home company upon its ex-
cellent business showing and paid a
handsome tribute to the officers for
the economy exhibited in the conduct
of the business and the able manner
in which the plant had been handled.
He expressed the belief that no like
enterprise in Alaska could make the
financial showing that had been pro-
duced. by the Shakan Salmon company.
The following board of directors
was elected for the ensuing year: L.
p. Hunt, 7. r. Coughlan, II. A. Pat
terson and j. B. Nielsen of Mankato;
I. j. German, Seattle; John f. Sug-
brow, Detroit, Mich, and Carlos Boyn-
ton, st. Paul
After the adjournment of the stock
holders meeting the board of direc-
tors held a meeting and elected the
following officers
L. p. Hunt, president; T. R. Cough
Ian, vice president; John F. Sughrow,
secretary; III. A. Patterson, treasurer.
The only change in officers was that
of secretary. Mr.. Patterson has
served in the dual capacity of secre-
tary and treasurer for the past year,
but the fact that Mr.. Sughrow is di-
rectly, connected with the business OF
the company in Alaska where the
duties of the secretary are especially
required at frequent intervals it was
the unanimous sentiment of the direc-
tors that it would be more advan-
tageous to the prompt dispatch of
business to remove that office to the
seat of active operations.
