MIRROR GAVE HIM
CLEW TO FUGlTlVES
Employer Whose Home Was Robbed
Held Blotter to 1t and Read an
Address-ThieVes
Arrested

NEW YORK. March 22.-Clever de-
tective work resulted in the capture of
Andrew Matteson and his young bride
in Brooklyn. Matteson's employer
William Newburg, a dealer in leaf to-
bacco with place of business at 1S3
Water street, New York, is the man
who used to advantage his studies of
the theories of Poe and Gaboriau.
MattesOn and his wiee applied to New
burg for employment at his country
place in Hackensack. The man was
taken ON as coachman and the bride as
maid. Both performed their duties in
a manner satisfactory to Mr. Newburg
and his wife, and they were congratu-
lating themselves upon the jewels they
had obtained, until few days ago.
MattesOn and his wife seemed to
adapt themselves to country life and
had every prospect of holding their
jobs indefinitely. But late last week,
Mr.. Newburg having been driven TO the
station and departed for New York,
Mrs. NeWburg decided that she too
would do some shopping in Manhattan.
So the Mattesons were left in posses
sion of the Newburg home.
That they improved eOch shining
hour was proved by the fact that when
Mr.. and Mrs. NeWburg arrived home
at night they found their employees had
fled with $1,000 worth of silverware and
JeWelry.
Mr.. NeWLurg searched Matteson's
trunk and found in it a blotter which
bore the appearance of recent use.
Then came into play his study of de-
tective fiction. Holding the blotter to a
mirror he found that it had been used
to dry a letter from Matteson to his
sister, who lives in Brooklyn.
The Brooklyn address was placed
under surveillance, with the result that
when Matteson attempted to enter the
house with his wife they were ar
rested. They waived eXtradition and
were taken to Jersey where they We're
locked up to await trial on the charge
of grand Iarceny.

weeks at least; for Smith doesn't have
a very happy time of it. In fact, he
skips nimbly through the three acts of
the farce, squirming out of one pre-
dicament only to become involved in
another. So does Mrs. Smith, for the
matter of that, and in the end she ac-
companies her husband, presumably
to some nice, quiet rest cure, where
they may enjoy belated and unat-
tended honeymoon.
Many Good Acting Roles
The farce is an admirable one from
the actors viewpoint becouse it pro-
vides so many good parts. There are
the cook lady and the count already
mentioned; Mrs. Billetdoux, ian aunt
by nature but a mother-in-law by in
stinct"; Gen. BilletdouX, a badly hen
pecked husband of Gaelic antecedents
and an exceedingly brave man; Miss
Smith, a LADY in waiting" which is
by way of saying that she is still a
spinster, though old enough to know
better; Major Duncombe, an ancient
lover of that self-same lady; the juven-
lie bride and groom on their penniless
and famine-marred wedding trip; and
Julia, a "touchingly" clever maid, who
is not above blackmail. Then, of
course, there are Smith and his wife.
Well cast, why Smith Left Home"
is always good for two hours or more
of laughter, and that is just what the
Burbank offers it's patrons this week.
Carrie Clark Wards cook lady is a
finely ludicrous characterization. She
is the secretary of the Cook Ladies'
union and the way she runs things to
suit herself might give pointers to the
most expert walking delegate in this
part of the country. incidentally she
sings a song entitled Mike"
Mestayer Makes Hit
Harry Mestayer in a Louis Mann
makeup and with a German figure of
speech that is Dutch as sauerkraut,
was immense. The count has only two
scenes. He should have been more on
the stage. AS presented yesterday aft
ernoon that was the characters only
defect.
Mrs. Billetdoux in the absence of
Louise Royce, who has been called to
San Francisco, was played by Miss
Katherine Clinton, who gave a con-
ventional portrayal of the role. H. j.
CHM as the general was quite as
French as Mestayer was German and
added materially to the gayety of the
afternoon.
William Desmond played Smith as
though he enjoyed the part-the audi
ence certainly enjoyed him in it-and
Miss Blanche Hall was his wife. Miss
Hall likewise seemed to enjoy the fool
cry and again the verdict was unani-
NOUS. Miss Maude Gilbert made
fascnatingly demure maid; and the
others were wholly satisfactory in the
roles allotted them.
Smith will continue to leave home at
the customary intervals through the
week

home in a Los Angeles suburb Doubt
less what she thought of the drama
would make interesting and, perhaps,
instructive reading.
Miss Shaw was well supported. |
think I am within the mark in saying
that no star of magnitude has this
season brought us so good a support
ing company The cast is not large.
There are only six characters in all,
but each of them is played by an actor.
Role of Daughter Well Played
Miss Pettes in the role of the
daughter should justly have large
share in the general commendation.
She gave us a finely intelligent piece of
acting, thoroughly well sustained
throughout the play. She made the
girl d resolLte, self-assertive young
hardness through The delicacy with
which she handled her brief "babes in
the woods" scene with young Gardner.
Mr. Pratt a5 Sir George Crofts gave
that character a distinct individuality,
despite a somewhat conventional
makeup, while the Frank Gardner of
Mr.. Aylmer was in every way excel
lent.

tinue at the Los Angeles theater
through the week. If you have read this
you will know, l hope, whether or not
it is the sort of play you would care
to see. At any rate, it is finely acted.

Pipe Arrangement for Cement FLOOR.
floor with proper connection to the
sewerage system.
Cement floors have proved to be the
best in this. but considerable COM
plant has been made on the ground
that the butter maker frequently con-
tracts rheumatism and is forced out
of the business. This also had a
tendency to prevent some from going
into the creamery work. This proves
a menace to the business.
To overcome this the dairy depart
ment of the Kansas state agricultural
college has been conducting expert
ments during the past season, and has
been successful, a new cement floor
having been installed with the system
of oneinch steam pipes laid under the
concrete in such way as to infuse
heat through the cement, rendering
the floor warm and dry. This expert
ment has been thoroughly tested dur
ing the past month, and thus far has
given absolute satisfaction. The ex-
pense of heating is very small, as
once the floor is warmed up it re-
quires very little steam to maintain
uniform temperature.
This system of heating may well be
considered by stockmen. Further ex-
periments along this line will in all
probability be conducted at the Kan
sas state experiment station during
the coming year.

DAIRY MATTERS.

The home market for American
dairy products is so great that we
need not worry about the foreign out.
let for dairy products.
The dairy COW on the farm needs
improving still more than the dairy
cow in the barn of the professional
dairyman.
Green stuffs should be grown for
helping the cows over the dry time of
summer.
Plan to raise good bunch of heller
calves this year. Look ahead two or
of COWS is likely to be. The high
price of feed last fall sent more than
the usual number of COWS and heifers
to the block, and it will cost good
money to replace them.
When cows are kept in the stable
continuously, as in stormy weather, it
should be cleaned often enough to
keep as free as possible from manurial
odors.
l always use butter color in making
butter, writes farmers wife in Farm
and Home. l use one teaspoonful in
summer and two teaspoonfuls in win
ter to six gallons of cream. put it into
the cream and churn the cream when
ripe, that is, when it has the appear
ance of velvet over the surface after
it is stirred. l have a safety No.

cream with the cold cream. l use salt

Overfeedinu the Dairy Calf,

One of the most common ways of in
juring dairy calves is to overfeed
them. When the calf is left with the
cow this does not occur The calf
nurses frequently and gets little at a
time. But when he is raised by hand
he is fed but two or three times day
and is then given all he will drink.
He is ravenously hungry and fills
himself up to the aching point When
he has done this a few times, his
stomach has been reduced to a state
in which he cannot digest the milk
completely, and part OF this is
passed undigested into the intestines
That begins the securing of the calf
If the same reckless feeding is contin-
ued, the calf stands a good chance of
being killed.

Coloring Butter.

Some folks object to coloring butter,
but if the average butter were sent to
market without a little coloring, 1t
would not find a sale at half its value,
no matter how perfect it might be in
other respects. Butter should be col
ored to suit the person, or the market,
for which it is intended. In no case
however, should it be given a deeper
color than is given it when the COW is
on grass, supplemented with enough
grains and concentrates to properly
balance the ration.

CEMENT FOR CREAMERY FLOOR.
Danger of rheumatism Obviated by
Steam Pipes Laid in Cement.

The Industrialist, issued by the Kan
sas agricultural college, regarding ce-
ment floors for creameries and cheese

For many years creamery sanitation

lance to the dairyman. To secure this,
one of the most important projects is
the installation Of a perfectly close
