How the Sailor Is Fed

Eve, or perhaps a daughter, once
made a discovery, to wit:
The quickest way to a man S heart
is through his stomach.
Woman, fluffy, fragrant woman, has
been soaring her walls and roughening
her hands ever since trying to take
proper advantage of the discovery
Who would suspect man would ever
60 a-hunting for the short cuts
Yet that is just what the ship s
cooks of the United States navy are
doing.
There is rivalry at target practice
and rivalry at rowing; there is rivalry
at boxing and rivalry at baseball, but
all these are very milk and-water
forms of rivalry as compared with the
rivalry of the cooks crews on board
the battleships.
No housewife with the price of pork
and beans from which to manufacture
a four-course dinner ever thought and
sehemed and studied more than does
the chief eommissary steward of the
modern battleship.
The man-o 'warsman is very much of
n man. He has a healthy appetite and
he likes his dinner; also he likes his
breakfast and his luncheon. He is just
as fond of dainties as any millionaire
in the land and the more dainties he
has the better he likes his dinner. The
better he likes his dinner, the better
he likes life in the navy.
AS long as life in the navy appeals
to him, he will stay with it. Thus the
responsibility of the commissary depart
ment.
Every man has a spark of patriotism,
but it is terribly hard to keep it in mind
If you are hungry and there 8 nothing
good to eat in sight.
Salt "horse' and bareback washed
down with apologize coffee was the
fare of the sailor of few years ago,
but those days are all past. Now the
best in the land is none too good for
the men who sail the seas in the interest
of Uncle Sam.
He no longer sits on a black cloth
on the deck and grabs his food in the
best way he can, but rests comfortably
at table, just as if he were on land.
1t is no small task to feed 500 men
with full-grown appetites, even when
upon a short cruise, and the Navy De-
partment has never attempted anything
so gigantic as this world cruise
To supply variety and yet keep the
expense within the SO per month per
man allowed by the Government is the
constant study of the commissary
steward. He must supply three meals
a day, seven days a week, and make
each one different from the other He
is hampered on long cruises by lack of
fresh meat, fresh vegetables and other
foods which cannot be carried in large
enough quantities to last long.
There are special menus for HOLIDAYS
and on some of the ships the printer
is called into consultation, and with the
aid of his press he produces brightly

BIG HATS ECLIPSE PARADE.

The jubilee parade of Vienna, for
which preparations had been going on
for months, was the most elaborate
spectacle of the kind that has ever
taken place in that city. When the
Austrian imperial couple celebrated
their silver wedding in 1879, a magnif-
cent pageant was arranged by Hans
Makart ''But grand and artistieally
perfect as it was, says Vienna paper
of recent date, sit will be eclipsed by
the jubilee procession. Places on the
stands and at windows are selling at
high figures. One stand owner says:
We are working under difficulties be-
cause of the fashion. Women want
good places in order to see and TO be
seen. What is a present day costume
without a hat, and what can a man on
a seat behind one of these see of a par
AIDES The question is, Whose wishes shall
be regarded-the people who want to
see or those who wish to be seen? At
the children s festival, at Schonbrunn,
we had a good example. On both
stands there was continuous fighting,
all on account of the big hats in front.
Let us have a peaceful celebration and
allow no woman to occupy place on
the stand whose hat is so large that it
will obscure the vision of those who
sit behind her. -

express steamers Mauretarlia and Lus-
ltania. by 1915. the International Mer-
camille Marine announced a reduction
today of that amount for all vessels of
the American and White Star Lines in

Immediately met the cut and the In
ternational Mercantile Marine followed

Plymouth were cut for Cherbourg as
well as for the two English ports
This reduction was met by the French
Line with one of 81 in it's second

who was found at Harrison Dec rs.
1907, came to her death by violence at
the hands Of some person or persons
unknown to this jury, but from the
evidence submitted to us we believe the

PROCEEDINGS BEGUN
To Obtain Judgment Denying the o.
born. MaIoney Marriage.

New York, Jan. 9.-Martin Maloney OF
Philadelphia made known, through a for.
NAL statement given to The Associated
Press tonight. that proceedings had beer
instituted to obtain a judgment declaring
that there was no marriage between his
daughter, Helen Eugene, and Arthur
Herbert Osborn. the young New York
broker, who according to the county rec.
ords were technically united in matri-
mony at Mamaroneck Dec. %, 1905. Fic-
titious names were given by the parties
to the ceremony and the two never lived
together. Mr.. Maloney does not go into
details in his announcement. but 1t is
understood that the present action Is
based upon the admissions of the young
people that the idea of their union was
conceived In a spirit of fun and that the
marriage was a mockery.
Subsequent to the ceremony Miss Ma
loney accepted the attentions Of Samuel
Clarlson, young Englishman who had
been a guest at the Maloney home. On
October II last Clarkson and Miss Malo-
ney simultaneously dropped out of sight
and were next heard from in London
where Miss Maicney was found living at
la hotel and GARRISON in bachelor quar-
tiers. After the disappearance of the two
while frantic efforts to trace them were
being made by the Maloney family. the
situation was further complicated by the
published statement of Osborn that he
was the husband of the missing daugh-
ter. Mr.. Malcney's statement follows:
Proceedings have been instituted to
obtain a judgment declaring that there
Is no marriage between Helen Maloney
and Arthur Fl. Osborn. The statements In
the papers In regard to the position as.
sumed by the family of Mr.. Maloney and
by Mr.. Osborn are entirely erroneous. In.
timations Of settlement upon Mr.. Os.
born and his surrendering rights are
without foundation and do him a very
grave injustice"

the police were Immediately noti-
fed and City Marshal Holmes and
Deputy Marshal Simpson fastened to
the scene and began to hook for clews
on which to work. 1t was found that
one OF the windows on the lower floor
was unfastened, contrary to the usual
custom and from this window it is
supposed that the culprit made his es-
cape.
The officers had practically no clews
to. work upon as there was not the
least bit Of evidence left behind, but
nevertheless they have their suspicious
and will give out nothing.
Manager George Fred Terry was seen
during the day and stated that he
thought that it was the work of some
one that was familiar with the plant
and had been in his employ at some
time 1t was his theory that the burg
lar secreted himself in the building be-
fore closing time and then took what
he could find and made good his escape.
