HER CONVENIENCE CONSIDERED
Hearing Standardized Into Another
Case to Permit Presidents
Widow to Depart For Summer
Home in New Hampshire.

New York City.-Accused of grand
larceny in the second degree in hav-
ing sold in the last Presidential cam,
paign to the New York Times an ar
ticle purporting to have been written
by Grover Cleveland, attacking Will
lam j Bryan, Broughton Brandon
burg, magazine writer, was put on
trial before Justice Fitzgerald and a
jury in the Criminal Branch of the
Supreme Court The defendant, who
fled on the eve of the day set for his
trial in February last, was captured
month ago in California, whittier he
had gone in disguise with his stepson.
Since then he has been in the Tombs
prison.
Mrs. Grover Cleveland, widow of
the President, was the principal wit
ness examined. She was in black, re-
lieved only by the white edging of her
collarette. Her testimony was given
in low tone. She was familiar, she
said, with Mr.. Cleveland's handwrit-
ing. She identified five checks and
four letters as containing his genuine
signatures. Assistant District Attor-
ney Mott then showed her. carefully

ture to the alleged Cleveland article
in the Times, published on August
81, 1908. She said she had seen the
disputed signature four times, and
had examined it closely on each oc-
casion-first in the New York Times
Office, then in the Office of DR.. Joseph

Mrs. Cleveland said she had never
authorized F. S. Hastings, executor
OF the Cleveland estate, to tell the
Times or anybody else the signature
was genuine; nor had she ever heard
Hastings say the signature was gem
uine. She identified copy of tele-
gram sent by her to the Times two
days before the publication Of the ar
ticle expressing doubt of il genuine
ness and advising the paper to confer
with Hastings.
She said she knew of no meeting
between her husband and Brandon
burg. She got only one letter from
tho defendant. This was in August,
1908. She testified she never talked
with him over the phone.
The hearing was abruptly sand
wiched into a murder trial in order
to oblige Mrs. Cleveland, who wished
to testify and then take her children
to the Cleveland Summer home in
New Hampshire. Mott, in his opening
speech to the jury, said the alleged
Cleveland signature was bogus, that
the ink was different, and there was
break in the continuity Of the let
ters. He would prove, he said, the
article had been dictated by Brandon
burg in public typewriting Office.

OULTRY
FOR
PROFIT
How Old is Biddy?

English authorities hold that there
is no certain test of age in fowls.
But they admit that, in general, the
spurs both Of hens and cocks will dis
tinguish a two-year-old bird.
There are exceptions, however, in
which really young birds develop old
looking spurs, while really second
year birds preserve the short, rounded
spurs of cockerel.
The texture Of the legs is a guide,
to some extent, and so are the deli
cacy and freshness of the skin of the
face and comb, but still an occasional
hen will preserve her youthful APP
pearance to startling degree.
The skin of the body is a better
test, as it becomes coarser and dry
er-looking with age.
Formerly the wing feathers were
considered an absolute test as be-
tween pullet and hen, even after
the long practice of early breeding
had made the moulting of early pull
let's quite common.
An Austrian authority says that a
pullet will show rose-colored veins
on the surface of the skin, under the
wings.
There will also be long silky hairs
growing there. After year old
these hairs disappear, as also do the
veins, and the skin grows white and
veinless.
1t is more difficult to Judge the age
of water fowls than of other poultry
partly from the absence Of spurs
partly from greater longevity, and
partly because the water keeps their
legs soft and fresh.
Ducks waddle more heavily as they
grow older, and after two or three
years they acquire depression down
the breast.
An abdominal pouch of consider
able size indicates great age in geese
Turkeys up to year old are said
to have black feet, which grow pink
up to three years of age, when they
| gradually turn gray and dull.
Age in pigeons is often told by the
color Of the breast. : IN squads, the
| flesh looks whitish as seen through
the skin, but becomes more and more
purplish as the bird grows older.

the sleeves and the tucking omitted;
or the blouse portions and the sleeves
can be made from plain material with
the centre-front and backs only OF
tucking, embroidery, lace or other all
over. In the last instance, however,
the edges of the blouse would require
to be trimmed with banding, to be
embroidered or treated in some SINH

and the backs are straight they can
quite easily be finished in any way
that may suit the fancy, and the de-

tionally useful one.
The blouse is made with front and
backs, the centre-front and the CEN

one-piece each, although when made
from founcing two straight lengths
are Joined on indicated lines, while
the tucking is arranged under to give
the effect illustrated. A standing
collar finishes the neck.

1t Pays to Caponize.

A capon bears the same relation to
a rooster as steer to a bull, and as
bull meat is not equal to steer meat.
so are ROSTERS not equal to capons
When cockerels become capons
they cease to grow combs and wat
ties, do not crow and fight, grow
much faster and finer flesh and bring
more money than ordinary chickens.
If a cock weighs ten pounds, a
capon will weigh fifteen. and bring
three to four times the price, one
hundred and twenty-five dollars often
being paid for 100 capons.
1t certainly pays to caponize sur
plus cockerels. A set of tools, with
full instructions for using, costs
$3.50, and only ordinary skill is re-
CURED.
For caponizing, cockerels must be
less than six weeks old and weigh a
pound or more.
