Negotiations Pending for Two Of
Ancient Pattern.

BERLIN, July 30.-Constantinople re-
ports that Turkey is negotiating to buy
two old-fashioned German battleships are
confirmed by the navy department in the
Tageblatt.
Although the officials refuse more defin-
tie information it appears from the Con-
stantinople telegram that the ships in
question are the Brandenburg and the
Kurfuerst Friedrich Wilhelm, sister ships
laid down in 1889 and having a displace-
ment of $50 tons. They carry six
eleven-inch guns apiece, but their speed
and armor unfit them for lying in the
line with Germany's modern sea fighters.
According to the telegram Germany
asked for the two battleships $2,5OO,OOO.

THE GORDON BLEU.
Ct First an Order For Women Cooks
Established by Louis XIV.

Ct First an Order For Women Cooks
Established by Louis XIV.
When you hear man spoken of as
a Gordon bleu" you know he is a
great cook. but few people have any
idea of how and when the expression
originated. The Gordon bleu was at
first an order for women cooks. 1t
was established by king-which
makes 1t real, proper order. Louis
XIV. once asserted to Nine. du Barry
that only men could cook really well.
The famous beauty challenged the as
sertion, but the king insisted that he
was right-that women might be all
right for boiling potatoes and per-
forming the simpler operations Of
cooking, but that when 1t came to
work OF art 1t took man.
Soon after this argument the royal
faNorito invited the king to dinner
He praised every dish; he even ex-
pressed his august approval of the
menu as whole. Then his hostess
trIumphantly announced to him that
the entire dinner had been prepared
the menu and the selection of the
dishes to the preparation of the sauces
and the sweets and the serving of the
several plats. Accordingly she claimed
the foundation of an order of merit FOX
her female cooks. The claim was at
once granted. and the Gordon bleu
was first conferred upon the women Of
Mime. du Barry's kitchen.
Gourmets of today would be inclined
to say that. however great the cooks
of Nine du Barry may have been In
their day. the dictum Of Louis XIV.
would be true today. There are now
few great hotels or restaurants In the
world In which cookery is fine art
where the chef is not Matthew

COLLINS WAS MADE

Kept Him on Bench Parts of
Two Sea-
sons.

NEW YORK, October 22-Because
young players nowadays do not get many
opportunities to play during several sea
sons is no evidence that their career in
the big leagues is to be short or that
eventually they will not become stars.
The best base ball managers of the
present have adopted the plan of holding
on to the most promising youngsters they
have and keeping them on the bench until
they imbibe just what big league base
ball is, SO that when they are sent out
to show they have in their minds Just
the style Of game they are expected to
play.
The most noticea bile player of the kind
is Eddie Collins, the second baseman of
the Philadelphia Athletics, who is now
considered a real star in his position and
who has been the sensation of the Ameri-
can League both last year and this.
Any youngster who in his first year as
a regular can make such crack as Ty
Cobb hustle to beat him out in both bat
ting and base running must be a wonder.
Well. this is just what the young Column
bia College boy has done.
Connie Mack. manager of the Athletics.
kept Collins on the bench for parts of
two years before he "cut him loose and
the result was Collins grand showing.
