Canine Etiquette.
From the Atlantic.

From the Atlantic.
In their relations with one another dogs
have a keen sense of etiquette. A well
known traveller makes this unexpected re-
mark about tribe of naked black men,,
living on one of the South Sea Islands.
"In their everyday intercourse there is
much that is stiff. formal and precise Z"
Almost the same remark might be made
abou, dogs. Unless they are on very inti-
mate terms they take great pains never to
brush against or even to touch one an
other. For one dog to step over another is a
dangerous breach of etiquette unless they
are special friends. 1t is no uncommon
thing for two dogs to belong to the same
person. and live in the same house. and
yet never take the slightest notice of
each other. We have a spaniel so dig
nified that he will never permit another
member of the dog family to pillow his
head upon him: but. with the egotism
of true aristocrat. he does not hesitate
to make use OF the other dogs for that
purpose

TOLD OF NURSES DEATH
CONVALESCENT TYPHOID PA

Has No Recollection of Shooting
That Occurred During His De-
lirium-May Attend Inquest.

Martin L. Sterling, the broker who shot
and fatally wounded Miss Mary Rembert
Brown, his nurse, while he was delirious
from typhoid fever, was told yesterday of
the death of Miss Brown. The GONZALES
cent was deeply affected. Mr.. Sterling is
able to sit up in his room and it is
thought he will be able to get out the
latter part of this or early next week.
Coroner hewitt will hold the inquest in
the case as soon as Mr.. Sterling is able
to appear. Mr.. Sterling is unable to re-
call anything of the circumstances sur
rounding the shooting at his home. SO
c street southwest, the night of Decem-
Der 20. 1t is likely that he will be given
an opportunity to make such a statement
at the inquest.
A move has been started by the nurses
al Columbia Hospital to obtain sufficient
money erect suitable tablet monu-
ment at the grave of Miss Brown. 1t is
the intention of the nurses to contribute
to the fund, and others have already
Signified a willingness to subscribe.
In answer to questions from the Car
nege hero fund commission Commissioner
mcfarland today sent a letter regarding
the heroism of Miss Brown The letter
was follows:
Il inclose herewith the answers to your
questions in your letter of December -.
in regard to the application in the case of
Miss Mary Rembert Brown. AS you will
see, Miss Brown has died since the letter
was received, leaving an aged mother
who was entirely dependent upon her for
support.
I'VE of this community feel very strong
ly that If there ever was a hero NJ SIS
Mary Rembert Brown was one. Every
factor in any definition of the word hero
was present in her case. Therefore we
hope and believe your commission will
act promptly upon the application, which
has the unanimous support of all our
people,
Mr.. Mcfarland said this morning that
he understood the medal could still be
granted and that the $1,000 which goes
with the medal could be given to Miss

Beware of Imitation Irish Crochet.

From the New York lrlDunc.
Few people realize all the uses TO
which one can put adhesive tape In
appliqueing motifs on lace or not 1t is
much more efficacious and labor saving
to use the tape than to sew the pieces
on separately. A little bit laid under
each motif and pressed with a hot iron
lasts the lifetime of the gown.
Instead of hemming velvet or sewing
it on hat brims 1T Is much better to glue
it by placing the tape in the fold of the
goods and pressing it against the rim.
Beware of the imitation" is an old
cry with an ever new interpretations.
This time it is warning against the
hand-crocheted Irish lace that is ma
chine made. The manufacturers have
found way of making yards and
yards of the chain stitch. crisscross on
muslin. to resemble the background Of
the Irish lace. This muslin, having
been dipped into sulphuric acid. is
burned away in the oven, and 10. there
is the lace foundation. On this are
pasted the motifs with adhesive tape.
and there you have your real lace.

Like all other accomplishments Of mod

spring full f1edged into existence, but is

type, gaining here and there a useful

perfluous one, thus illustrating the sur

tools were Of the crudest workmanship

MARCH OUT IN SAFETY
BOYS SAVE $50 FELLOWSHIP
DENTS IN ACADEMY.
Aroused by Reveille-Fierce Blaze
Destroys New York Military
Dormitory.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CORNWALL-ON-THE n. Y,
January 1O.-Thanks to the prompt action
Of several boys, who were awakened by
the smell of smoke and were aided by
two cadet buglers. who sounded reveille
in the corridors, the $50 boys who room
ed in the main building of the New York
Military Academy all marched out to
safety early this morning while a fierce
blaze totally destroyed the dormitory and
several nearby outbuildings.
The fire started in the servants quar-
tiers from an overheated stove. it is sup

corridors of the dormitcry by way of a
stairway.

Stiff Breeze Fans Fire.
The main building was a four-story

Col. S. E. Jones, superintendent Of the
school, aided by Maj. Davis and Capt.
Fraser, both of the United States Army
stationed at the school. had the boys 1ail

upper floors, and, though most of them
had no more covering than their pajamas
and all were shoeless, they marched IN
good order at double-quick through four
inches of snow to Bart Hall, the dorml-
tory for the smaller boys, where ihey
took shelter for the rest of the night.
The alarm was telephoned from the
school to Cornwell village and the hre
engines started for the scene. but they
were hampered by the snow and slippery
roads, and before they could arrive a
hand engine from West oPint had reached
the scene. 1t was Impossible 10 save the
building by that time, however, and the
attention Of the firemen was devoted TO
keeping the blaze from spreading further.

AS it was, brands that were carried by
the wind fell on several smaller outbuiid-
ings, which were also destroyed, and It
was only by great efforts that the fire
was kept from spreading through the
underbrush to all the buildings Of the
school plant.
No estimate has as yet been made of
the loss. Every cadet in the main build

The fact that all the boys escaped In

building. is a source of congratulation on
the discipline shown by the boys. excited
as they were by their startled awaken

SPEAKS FOR TAFT.
Senator Elkins to Introduce Admin
istration Measure.

Senator Elkins. chairman of the COM
mittee on interstate commerce, will be
the instrument of the administration in
presenting to the Senate the bill for the
amendment Of the interstate commerce
law. He has not decided just when he
will introduce the measure, but 1t will
go in within the next day or two. The
senator is known for his conservatism
in the matter of railroad legislation. but
he has indicated to President Taft his
willingness to support this measure. AL
though it is along somewhat advanced
lines, Mr.. Elkns has reached the con-
clusion that 1t fairly represents modern
thought. He says that public opinion
demands the governmental regulation of
the railroads. and does not consider this
Objectionable so long as it stops short of
governmental management. He thinks
the bill will be enacted into law during
the present session..

DEED OF BOLD YEGCMEN
OVERPOWER POLICEMEN AND
ROB POST OFFICE SAFE.
Officers Placed in Big Steel Vault
in Town Hall-Robbers
Get Little.

SPENCER. Mass. January 1O.-Five
daring yeggmen cracked the safe in the
Spencer post office early this morning
after overpowering the two policemen
who were on duty nearby and locking
them up for safekeeping in a big steel
vault in the town hall. One of the po-
licemen was seriously injured in the en-
counter.
The robbers made their getaway sue
cessfulIy, but carried off only about $40
worth of stamps, the entire conten.s
of the outer compartment of the safe.
Several thousand dollars in cash and
stamps was in a small box in an inner
compartment, which the visitors, in their
haste, failed to open.
People Aroused by Explosion.
The explosion, which occurred shortly
after o'clock, awoke everybody within
radius of several blocks. The rob-
bers must have moved rapidly after
cracking the safe, for they were nowhere
in sight when the first of big crowd
of citizens appeared on the scene a few
minutes later. There was great con-
sternation among the townspeople when
they discovered that their two night pa
had disappeared at the same time as
the yeggmen. Posses hurriedly got
together, in the belief that the two
officers had been either killed or kid

Causes of Failures.
From the Bookkeeper.

A large majority Of business failures
are due to lack OF capital. Sometimes
this shortage is legitimate and unavoid
able, but in many instances it results
from an abuse of capital in times of
prosperity that leaves no surplus with
which to tide over a period of deprss-
sion and forces into bankruptcy firms
that ought to be on solid footing. Many
Of the failures in 1908 were of such

Makes Comparison.

Admiral Leutze draws a comparison be-
tween the navy yard at New York and
the navy yard at Washington much to
the advantage of the local yard. The
value of the New York yard is stated at
SIS, 252. 900. and that of the Washington
yard at S1O,475,OOO. The output of the
local yard. however. is proportionately
much greater than that of the New York
yard.
During the past ten years the output
from the Washington yard amounted In
value to So, 114.69S while the output
from the New York yard during the same
period was $23.aW, 2s;. difference of
$1.191.534. During that period several
battleships were constructed at the New
York yard. which naturally increased
the value of It's output, but, says Ad-
miral Leutze, with that advantage, the
value of the output at the Washington
yard was far greater than that OF the
New York yard. proportionately speaking
based on the relative values Of the re-
spective yards.
