egg product of the United States as
far back as the year of 1899 was
valued at a higher figure than the
combined gold and silver production
of the United States in any year
since 1890, except the year 1900,
when the precious metal exceeded the
eggs by nine and one-half millions.
The same statement is true of
poultry, except the years of 1899 and
1900, when the excuses of gold and
silver combined over eggs were sew
eral millions. The surprise over
these figures is rather heightened
when it is known that the poultry
and egg together in 1900 were worth
more than either the gold or silver
production of the world for any year
since the beginning of records in
1893, with the exception of 1908 and
1899.
The poultry and egg crop as far
back as 1899 exceeded the value of
the wheat crop of % states and terri
tories. The records show that the
egg crop of 1899 was more than a
billion dozen, which would fill more
than 43 million crates of 80 dozen
each. An ordinary refrigerator car
holds 400 crates. 1t would necessi-
tate a train S6S miles long or one
that would reach from Chicago to
Washington with several miles of
cars to spare, to transport the crop
of eggs of that year.

Went on the Stage.

Kate Soffel, after her recovery,
was taken back to Allegheny county
and locked up in the Jail from which
she had helped her lover to escape.
Later she served a two-year sentence
in the Western penitentiary. Her
husband meantime had obtained a
divorce, on the ground of her in
timacy with Edward Biddle, and
when the woman found herself free
again she readily accepted an offer
to star in melodrama which really
told the story of her own downfall.
But the play was hoOted off the stage
wherever it was presented, and final
ly was enjoined. Mrs Soffel took
up dressmaking in Allegheny under
her maiden name of Dietrich.
The Biddles were buried in Cal
vary cemetery, near the grave of
Fitzgerald, the detective, who was
one of their Victims.
The funeral of Mrs. Soffel was held
at the home of her father in Mount
Washington, Pa.

proper scientific instruments and the
man who would use them.
Scientists Are Waiting.
Some few scientists are waiting to
hear more before expressing an opin-
ion. But one of the most notable
has explained that it would be prac-
tlcally impossible, even if he wished
to do so, for DR.. Cook even to unin-
tentionally mislead the public. The
toughest of calculations and observa-
lions, based on the position of the
sun, the position of which on each
day is known to the scientific world,
course he followed.
The known position of the sun and
other scientific facts would be COM
pared with the observations and cal
culations of DR.. Cook, and thus it
would be proved if his figures were
correct and would show where he
was when he made them. Inaccura-
cies could be discovered. Scientists
generally look for Dr. Cook to prove
absolutely that he actually found the
North Pole and ran up Old Glory
on it.
Hicks Credits Discovery.
The Rev. Irl R. Hicks, whose
weather prophecies are followed by
thousands in the Mississippi valley,
explained to the Post-Dispatch how
DR.. Cook could determine when he
had reached the North Pole. when
his instruments showed that he had
reached exactly 80 Degrees" said
Prof. Hicks, ''he was standing direct
ly at the North Pole. At that point
there would be no sunrise, no sun
set, but the heavens would move
around the horizon continuously
AS he neared the North Pole the cir
Giles of the stars would grow smaller
until he had reached the exact cen
ter
Il do not believe it is possible with
instruments Dr. Cook had with him
to scientifically prove to the world
that he had reached the pole. His
word must be taken for it, and | dc
not doubt it, although I take it with
a degree of allowance. | believe
that DR.. Cook has been nearer d.
rectly un0er the celestial pole thar
any other explorer. His meager sup.
ply of instruments, however, make il
impossible to present absolute proof. ,

Jews a Factor in Prices,

The department of agriculture has
discovered one factor in keeping up
the prices of live poultry The segre-
eating of the Jews in New York city
and Chicago makes those two points
the largest live poultry markets in
the United States. Owing to the
numerous holidays observed by this
class, and the different kinds of live
poultry demanded for these occa-
sions, which start from September of
one year and continue to September
of the following year, there is con-
slant and firm demand the year
round for prime live stock
The ''kOshering' done by the Jew
ish butchers necessitates the better
grades of poultry for this trade and
has made this a strong factor in the
matter or price.
Missouri Fourth in Eggs.
Statistics show that Iowa leads in
eggs with Ohio second, Illinois third,
and Missouri fourth. Iowa's egg
crop amounts to more than ten mil
lion dollars year. But crop and
price are two different matters, and
it is interesting to note what a diff
ference is paid for eggs in the differ
ent states. The highest price per
dozen is credited to Nevada, the av-
erage there being 20.S cents. Mon
tana is very close second, with
Washington next. California is
fourth and Oregon fifth with an
average OF Is cents per dozen. The
lowest price is credited to Texas, the
average price being IT cents. That
state disposed of more than SIS mil
lion at this average price. The num-
Der of eggs per capita for the people
of the United States in 1900 was
203, and the value of the eggs at the
prevailing price was $3.50.

The NOTORIOUS KATE SOFFEL
THE WOMAN WHO LOVED THE
INFAMOUS RIDDLES.
She Died Last Week in a Pittsburo
Hospital. Romance of Burgla-
ny, Murder and Jail Delivery.


Hospital. Romance of Burgla-
ny, Murder and Jail Delivery.
The death of Mrs. Kate SoffeI in
a Pittsburg hospital last week brings
to mind notorious romance, for the
woman's connection with the in
famous Biddle brothers is we'll re-
membered by newspaper readers.
Early in 1901 a series of burgla-
ries was committed in Pittsburg, and
when, in April, T. Kahny, a grocer.
was shot and killed while defend
ing his store the crime was fastened
on Edward and Jack Biddle and
Frank Dorman. They were cornered
In house few days later, and in
the fight they made before being
taken prisoners Fitzgerald, a de-
tective, was killed Dorman turned
states evidence and the Biddles
were sentenced to be hanged, while
Dorman escaped with life sentence.
Pending their execution the Bid
dies were confined in the Allegheny
county jail at Pittsburg, of which
Peter SOffel at that time was warden.
1t happened that the windows of the
rooms occupied by the Soffels faced
those of the cells in which the Bid
dies were confined, and Kate Soffel,
wife of the warden, starting with a
long distance Irritation, soon found
means to see the prisoners constantly
in their cells.
Her Love For the BiddIes.
Finally Mrs. Soffel so far forgot
every other consideration that she
bought revolvers and files from a
hardware store in McKeesport and
struggled them in to Edward Biddle.
He and his brother cut away the bars
OF their cells, and after shooting
Reynolds, one of the guards, locked
Costello and McCreary, the other
men on duty, in vacant cells and
about 4 O'Clock on the morning of
January 80, 1902, were led to lib
erty through the warden's residence
by the warden's wife.
A Fatal Fight.
1t was the depth of winter and
snow lay thick on the ground; but
this did not prevent Kate Soffel from
Icasting in her lot with the two MUIR
derers. For As hours the Biddles
and the woman fed desperately over
the face of the country, but on the
third day, while they were driving
in sleigh, Detectives McGovern,
SWinehart and Roach came up with
them. There followed a fierce bat
tie in the snow, but the detectives
were better armed, and Jack and
Edward Biddle soon fell, mortally
hurt. Mrs. Soffel also was wounded
and it always has been believed that
the shot was 1ired by Edward Biddle,
! in order to save the woman from
being taken alive and having to face
the consequences of her acts. But
the bullet glanced from one of the
steels in her corset and Mrs. Soffel
was nursed back to health in a hos
pltal, while the two brothers died
in jail less than "a hours after their

ALL WAS SOUTH At POLE AS COOK RAN UP FLAG
Time
No East About
an of

Everywhere we turned was south.
With a single step we could pass
from one side of the earth to the
other.-From DR.. Cooks personal
narrative of his discovery of the
North Pole, April 81, 1908.
When he unfurled the Stars and
Stripes at the top of the earth north
east and west had vanished. He was
finally 'farthest north, and had his
feet on the pinnacle of the world
and all under his feet was south.
He was directly under the North
Star, where there is no sunrise and
no sunset.
All about the explorer who had set
the record of centuries of effort was
cherries cold and an endless field
of purple snow, and besides himself
and his two Eskimo companions
there was not sign of life. Time
was negative problem, for at the
North Pole all meridians meet. By
the sun he knew it was noon when
he unfurled the American flag. And
of course the flag waved to the south.
Nothing But Snow.
On April 81, 1908, when DR.. Cook
arrived at the goal, the first correct
ed latitude of the sun gave 80 de-
grees SO minutes and 46 seconds.
He advanced a few seconds, made OBJ
servations, and told Etukishook and
Aswelab that they were at last at the
'Neig Nail, and the happy barba-
rians danced about in savage Joy.
Cook, a white man, and the two Es-
kimOs had pierced the boreal center,
and they looked down upon the rest
of the world.
| From midnight to midday the lati-
tude was 80, the temperature was
only SO degrees below zero and the
barometer recorded 1888. Next day
/ loneliness stole over the explorer and
his faithful followers. They tired
of gazing about at nothing but snow,
bound in by the frozen rim of a
cherries horizon, and on April 23rd
they turned their backs upon the
! North Pole.
Wide World Startled.
The wide world, of course, was
startled when the first word came of
the great discovery. The scientists
were skeptical at first, but now they
seem to be convinced that Cook act
ually reached the North Pole, and
they are looking forward to DR..
Cooks full report as to his scientific
notes while sitting on the pole gaz-
ing upon the rest of the earth. Prof.
w. H. Brewer of Yale University
was so overcome by the suddenness
of the announcement that he could
only pronounce the victory of Cook
as "a great feat"
But DR.. William A Granville of
/ Yale Sheffield Scientific School said
that if Dr. Cook had with him at
the time of his discovery the proper
instruments great light would be
thrown on the magnetic influence of
the pole. Other scientists are of the
opinion that DR.. Cook is just the
man who would not fail to have the

THE AMERICAN HEN LAYS GOLDEN EGGS
Her Output Is Worth More Annually Than the Worlds
Metals. The Jews a Factor in Prices

WASHINGTON.-There is not or
atory enough left over from the re-
cent tariff debates to hide the fact
that the cost of living, even aside
from tariff schedules, will continue
to increase in the future as in the
past. Crop forecasts tell of another
bumper crop about to be harvested,
but there are certain items on the
bill of fare of the great mass of peo-
pie which will not be affected.
The farmers of the middle west,
who, having been deprived of the
duty on hides, will continue to re-
ceive substantial increases Tor the
other products of their farm Hogs
have been up to $40, beef $7.25
and lambs $9.25, but these are but
incidental to four other items that
have been holding their own for the
past ten years, viz: butter milk,
eggs and poultry.
Much Money in Poultry.
Notwithstanding that thousands of

business the increases continue.
Those who have engaged in it with
the intention of making a living find
that where they have to buy feed it
costs from $1.75 to $500 a year to
keep a hen, or about cents a week.
And there is where the farmer gets
the best of it, for his poultry gets
its cost of living without cost or eff
fort on his part.
The records show that today, on
the general farms, poultry pays the
largest dividends, although it re-
ceives the least attention. The price
of poultry and eggs in the last ten
years has increased in price to the
consumer faster than any other agri-
cultural product except bacon. Eggs
have increased AZ per cent, poultry
81 per cent, being 10 per cent. high
er than any other food product, sucn
as potatoes, beef, pork, mutton, etc.
In no case has grains increased in
such proportion.
