BUTTERMILK IN STYLE,
1t Is the Summer Drink for Real Drink
ers in Little Old New
York.

Drinkers of hard" liquor in New Yorl,
have suddenly discovered that butter
milk is a beverage which gratifies and
satisfies but does not inebrlate and have
adopted it to such an extent that it fakes
all OF one mans time in the Waldorf
Astoria to carry jars of buttermilk from,
cellars to the bar. Fifty quarts is he
low the daily average CONSUMPTION of
buttermilk at the Hotel Knickerbocker
bar Browns chophouse has put in a
big porcelain churn to keep buttermilly
handy for its deyotees of the RialtO
Three or four hundred drinks of it is the
daily average consumed by the sporting
element which frequents the Union cafe,
IN Broadway, and the Bourse and other
saloons in the financial district sell more
buttermiik than malt liquors.
Philip Kennedy, manager of the Wal
dort- Astoria bar. explained the popu-
larity of the homely beverage
'Buttermilk satisfies thirst has an
agreeable after effect and does not make
you want another drink as milk, water
and beer do he said. Doctors tell ev-
erybody that it is the most healthful
drink one can take. Men who have an
international reputation as consumers of
champagne are drinking more buttermilk
here this summer than an ordinary farm
er's son will consume in a lifetime. We
make it from the fresh milk, which is
set overnight and carefully kept at Ger
tain temperature. Then the whole liquid
goes through a butter making process.
Ordinary buttermilk, such as one gets on
farms, is what is left after the cream
has been churned and the butter washed
and removed. The buttermilk sold in
New York is a much higher grade. But
termilk has an excess of Tactic bacteria.
The other microbes they meet have no
chance against them. They are harmless
and beneficial in driving out other bac-
terra of the alimentary system, and give
to buttermilk a slightly laxative proper
ty which other forms of milk are entirely
without. The slightly acid taste, which
| believe has had so much to do with
making buttermilk popular with barroom
customers, and which makes it a grateful
assuager of thirst, is due to the Slight
amount af Tactic acid in it.

he will present to the Metropolitan Mu-

these treasure belong to is not re-

the public is getting the benefit of the

Oyster raisers are said to be bringing
the finest and latest oysters ever taken
on the coast to the markets of the east,
to start the season. If this information
is supplemented by oyster packers with
effort to give western consumers oysters
worthy the name, there will be joy in
this section also. There was big i'm
provement in the character of the
shipped oyster last year, and the trade
picked up in consequence. Therefore il
may be expected that the shippers will
nedeavor to cultivate further consump-
ton by doing the right thing with the
oyster and with the buyer in western
markets.

ANCIENT ENGLISH FAMILY.
Lord De Clifford Was Twenty-fifth Of
Line in the BaronetcY.

The name of one of the oldest titled
families in Great Britain has been
brought to the attention of newspaper
readers the world over by the announce
ment of the death in an automobile , eli
dent at Brighton of Lord De Clifford.
He was the twenty fifth of his line in
the baronetcy and the premier baron of
England. The baronetcy was created in
the year 1899.
The late Lord De Clifford was other
wise known as Jack Southwell Russell.
He was barely twenty-five years of age,
but had held the title fifteen years, since
his fathers death in 1894. Three years
ago Lord De Clifford married an actress.
known ON the London stage as Eva Car
rington. She was the tallest of ''the Glib
son Girls'-her height being one inch oy-
er six feet. The De Clifford estate com
prises $4,000 acres in the County Mayo,
Ireland, but the principal home Of the
late lord was Dalgan Park, in Galway.
He leaves an heir The twenty sixth.
of the De Cliffords in the direct line of
descent is an infant boy who was born
in 1907.
How strange are the changes which
have come over the occupations and
aspirations of the English mobiles since
the distant time when the feudal system
had it rise in Europei The first Lord
De Clifford was killed at the Battle Of
Bannockburn in 1914, when Robert
Bruce gave notice to Saxon invaders to
withdraw from the soil of Scotland OF
the young baron who has now closed ms
brief but gay career it might have been
said as Wordsworth wrote of Lord
Clifford the Shepherd IN the beautiful
Song at the Feast of Brougham Cas-
tle:"
Armor rusting in his halls
On the blood of Clifford calls
"Quell the Scotf' exciaims the Lance,
Bear me to the heart of Francei'
Is the longing of the Shield
Tell thy name, thou trembling field;
Field o. death, where'er thou be,
Groan thou with our victory
The Baron of whom Wordsworth
wrote loved peace.
In him, the savage virtue Of the race,
Revenge, and all ferociOus thoughts were
dead.
He followed agriculture, and
The Good Lord Clifford was the name u5
bore.
The dead Lord De Clifford was uol
averse to excitement. He found II hot
on the battlefield but in the concert
hall, at the watering places, and in tour
ing the country in an auto car VINCE
latter pursuit has proved in his case as
deadly as the first De Clifford found the
field of arms.

Somebody has suggested to st. Louis
that she can change her treeless condi-
ton by planting mulberry trees, which
in Cairo, Illinois, grow luxuriantly de-
spite the dust and smoke which has been
disastrous to tree enterprise in the Mis-
souri, metropolis. The mulberry tree has
been successfully matured in Milwau-
kee, but as shade tree it was always
liable to injury through the forays of
the small boy after berries. This was
the sad fate of mulberry tree which
once served as a shade tree ON Jefferson
street, opposite the site now occupied by
the postoffice.

Nathan Straus has presented to the
International Medical Congress at Buda-
pest figures intended to prove that tuber-
culosis has steadily increased in New
York city since 1902. In that year there
were reported 1924 cases, being 800 70
every thousand of the population. Last
year there were reported 23,325 cases,
or 5.27 per thousand of the population.
There are those who attribute the larger
percentage of cases of tuberculosis in re-
cent years to increased vigilance of the
physicians in reporting, and this is prob,
ably true. TO assume that there had
been great increase of tuberculosis at
the very time and place of the most ac-
tive warfare against the disease in the
history of the world would logically con-
denim the systematic efforts of preventive
medicine.

Harriman's Black Eyes Won Him Many
a Battle.

Mr.. Hartman was small of stature
ally he wore a SLOUGH hat, which covered
head so large that it was very much
out of proportion TO his body. His face
was rather small for so large a brain
space and his features were inclined TO
be sharp. His chin gave no indication
by reason of breadth or squareness of
the determination of the man. His
mouth. which was small and well
formed, was almost hidden by a scrac-
gly. dropping, unkempt black mustache
that was far from attractive.

gushing feature of the man. They were
not large, were rather deep-set. were

The big turbine Cunarders have been
breaking the records so often during the
process of ''limbering up" for their best
speed that announcements of reductions
in the time of the run across the Allan
tic have become almost commonplace.
But there is something in the westward
performance of the Lustania, which yes
terday arrived in New York, that makes
it especially notable. She not only low
cred the record, but in doing so she ar
rived early enough on Thursday to pro-
coed to her dock instead of waiting until
Friday morning. She has therefore
achieved the honor of being the first liner
to dock on this side on the fourth day

that it is dangerous to push warships at
