HUSBAND WANTS A DAY
OFF FROM HOUSEKEEPING
Wife Brings Suit for Failure to
Provide-HoIiday Troubles

ST. LOUIS, July Eff, like an ex-
emplary husband of the new species,
you had cooked, scrubbed, washed
dishes, secured windows and made the
beds six days in the week, wouldn'
you expect to have Sunday off, like
a regular housemaid?
Such is the touching lament of Jacob
A. Eiler, 46 years old His wife, Mrs.
Anna Eiler, putting female emancipa-
ton into practice, went out every day
to her work as q seamstress, while her
husband, relegated to his place as a
mere man" and wearing an apron,
stayed at home and did the homework,
Mrs. Filler is suing her husband house
man for divorce on the ground of nom
support
"Our whole trouble" Eiler told his
attorney, started over the question as
to whether 1 was to have Sunday off.
Most housemaids get at least Sunday
afternoon for themselves, and often
Thursday afternoon besides. l didn't
see why 1 should be an exception
ION the other six days I arose at
half past o'clock, went marketing,
cooked breakfast, awakened my wife,
served her at table, washed the dishes,
made the beds, swept and busted,
cooked dinner, washed the dishes, pre-
pdFeu supper anu WdSheu llO ui9iiSS
again"
Eiler continued that he had to cook
and keep house not only for his wife,
but for her father, Henry Becker, and
her brother, Henry Becker, jr.
II shouldn't have minded that so
much" said Filler, with the pain of a
scrupulous housekeeper in his voice,
'1f young Henry hadn't come in so
often without cleaning his shoes and
tracked mud across the floors 1 had
Just scrubbed"

LITTLE GIRL DIES FROM
BITE AFTER DAY OF AGONY
Couldn't Tell How She Was In
jured in Hand

TIONESTA, Pa, July 9.-Pretty lit
tie Lillian Gilfoyle, five years old, liv-
ing with her mother near LickingVllle,
yesterday was given permission 10
gather wild strawberries in the field
back of the house, and within half
an hour came running in with small
laceration on the side of her tiny
hand.
Lillian was crying and overcome
with such terror that she could make
no coherent disclosure of what had
happened to her. Bees had stung her,
she said at first, then a snake had
fastened itself to her hand and she
had dragged it half way to the house
in her frightened effort to escape, she
lisped Later, she said two snakes
had struck at her.
The mother was frantic. The near
est doctor lived in Lickingville. She
had no antidotes about the house. She
bound up the wound and ran to
neighbours, a mile away. Word was
sent in to town with all possible speed,
but seven hours had elapsed before
the doctor rushed into the house.
There was little for the doctor to
do. Little Lillian lay in sort of
stupor, having suffered seven hours of
agony of the most fearful intensity.
Sedatives were administered and the
piteous throes of the dying child ale
waited. During the night she died.
Neighbors searched the field and
found two large rattlers. One lay
much nearer the house than the other,
and there were evidences that the
snake had been dragged a consid-
cradle distance. Just what happened
to the little one is not known. Those
who found the rattler believe that the
girl was struck. perhaps by both of
them. and that her death resulted.

BOWLING GREEN TO BE
MADE A BEAUTY SPOT
New York Park Commissioner
Tells of Improvements

NEW YORK, July 9.-Protesting
against the dismantled condition of
historic Bowling Green, James M Mot
ley of sc Broad street has addressed
communication to Charles B. Slower
park commissioner, in which he pleads
for the restoration of the green to its
former state, "the most attractive
landmark in the city"
Mr.. Motley calls attention to the
center OF the park where there is IAN
arid, uninviting hole, lined with con-
crete and filled with filthy, wooden
boxes, presumably intended for aquatic
plants of some kind" The evident
neglect of the lawn, which lis bare in
spots" and the appearance of the trees,
ruined by subway construction" are
alluded to, the conclusion of Mr.. Mot
ley being that the green seems to be
degenerating into a state of vacant
lot which nobody seems to own and
which is becoming an eyesore and dis
grace to the city"
Mr.. Slower said yesterday that the
park department was no. responsible
for the condition of the green. He ex-
planned that in March last while the
department was improving the green
work on the extension of the platforms
Of the subway station beneath was
begun and that until its completion,
about November l, no restoration work
could be undertaken, Before the work
of extending the platforms will be COM
pleted the greater part OF the green on
the east side will have been excavated.
That, of course, will be restored as
soon as the subway operations are
completed, when the green will be
completely restored, regarded, resod-
ded and placed in better condition than
ever before.
Whether the excavation for the min
iature lake, which is sixty feet in di-
ameter and a depth of four feet, will
prove practicable is to be determined.
When the water was turned on a few
DAYS ago it was found that it flooded
the subway and the water was turned
off. Under existing conditions Bowl
ing Green offers little inducements to
the esthetic visitor, the grass plots
being scraggy and the northern en-
trance hidden behind an unsightly pile
of timbers and material utilized in
subway improvements.

FLEES FROM FIRE WITH
BABE AND FALLS TO DEATH
Mother and Child Pursued by the
Flames Drop Three Floors

NEW YORK, July 9.-As a result of
injuries received in falling three floors
from a fire escape at 1854 Fulton street,
Brooklyn, early yesterday morning
while a fire ragged in the building,
Mrs. Sadie Van Glider, 35 years old,
who lived in the house with her sister,
Mrs. William Keyser. died just before
noon yesterday in Cumberland street
hospital. Slight hope is held for the
recovery of her 1S-months-old daugh-
ter Ruth, who fell with Mrs. Van Gill
der. clasped in her arms. Both of the
child's legs were broken and she re-
ceived internal injuries.
Just before 2 o'clock yesterday morn
ing flames were discovered in the rear
of barber shop on the ground floor of
the four-story brick building. The
blaze ate its way to the second floor
with great rapidity and prevented the
tenants on the upper floors from es-
Gaping through the hallway.
Clad only in their night clothes,
twenty-five persons ran to the fire es-
capes. Mr.. George Morris, rs years old,
reached the sidewalk unaided, as did
Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Crozier, who lived
on the second floor. Mr.. and Mrs. Key
ser and Mrs. Van Glider decided TO
climb to the roof, the first named
couple preceding Mrs. Van Glider, Mrs.
Van Glider fell with the baby after
she had taken only few steps.

FLYING REQUIRES
LARGE BANK ROLL
Machines Like Those in Service
Sell at from $2400 to
$4,000

LONDON, July 9.-An English ex
pert gives out the following as to the
cost of flying:
A copy Of the Farman biplane used
by Paulhan In the memorable London
Manchester fight costs $4,000. The pack
ing case for it's fragile skeleton and
delicate machinery costs $3.50. A mono
plane such as that in which Bleriot
made his thrilling voyage across the
Channel is much cheaper-the price is
but $24OO. A biplane is much easier
for the novice to manage than the
monoplane. An awkward landing is
likely to cost $40 or SIS for minor re-
pairs. A shed to house the aeroplane
need not cost more than $500.
To a beginner who is not well ac-
quainted with aeroplane motors the
services of a special mechanic will be
essential The salary of a reliable
man-one who thoroughly understands
the delicate "tuning-up" process neces-
sary every now and then with aero
planes-ranges from SIS to $25 week.
Two or three odd men are generally
necessary at the commencement of
each flight to assist in maneuvering
the aeroplane from point to point. The
varies enormously, according to the
engine used.
"On my Farman, with the Gnome
motor" Grahame White said, II find 1
use four gallons of gasoline in an
hours flight that cost 81. Then there
is quite a gallon and a half of special
lubricating oil to add to this, repre-
senting a cost of $1.S5. Thus the total
cost of an hours flight is about SO.
During an hour I should have traversed
As miles. Therefore the cost of my
flight would be slightly less than 7
cents a mile. Some other motors con-
sumo more gasoline. but far less oil.
1t is a question of construction and
power. But@@,when the aeroplane is
quite a practical machine, flying will
be far cheaper than motoring. There
will be no heavy tire bills, and no wear
and tear from the vibration of the
roads"
Sufficient fabric to reclothe the
planes OF Farman machine costs
about 5000. Minor renewals involve
little expense With careful handling,
experts agree that an aeroplane should
last quite a long time-certainly longer
than a wear

Supreme Court Freely Criticised

Washington, D. c., June by a
vote of 25 to 81 the senate today re-
fused to challenge the supreme court
of the United States to another de-
cision regarding the right OF common
carriers to transport commodities pro-
duced by Themselves.
The vote was taken upon an amend
ment to the railroad bill offered by
Senator Bailey, of Texas, making it
unlawful for any railroad company to
TRANSPORT from one state to another
s.any article or commodity manufac-
ured, mixed or produced by it or I'M
der it's authority or by any corpora
ton, joint stock. company or partner
ship in which said railroad company
holds, owns or controls directly or IN
directly any stock or interest. I"
The amendment was intended to
remedy the supposed defect in the
commodities clause of the sHepbuVa
act of 1906, out of which grew the
famous decision of the supreme court
of the United States, in which the
government undertook to prosecute a
number of the roads engaged in the
mining of anthracite coal in Pennsyi'
yania. The court held the law to be
constitutional, but materially limited

it was his intention to make the Ian
guage of the present provision SC

stand it. -
