PUBLIC OPINION

EDITOR EVENING NEWS;
In your issue Of September FL note a
Public Opinion from Peter Yensen tn
regard to the conditions Of the duck
pond on Meade street. Now all he says
Is true regarding that pond, but what
about the one at the corner Of Market
street and Bertrand avenue, which is
filed with water nearly all the year
round and only dries up in very dry
seasons, and being on the. main thor
oughfare Of the city certainly helps to
make Getty Beautiful" and it Al also
a very beautiful sight to see geese and
ducks ~waddling in it when the water
gets low, and the fumes from 1t are GER
tainly conducive to the good health of
the community. But doesn't our friend
Mr.. Yensen know that the Board of
Health works hand In hand with our
honorable mayor, who has declared that
the poor people of our city must be
allowed to ra1co geese and ducks with
which to decorate the lawns OF the
property owner, which only a few
months since the mayor 80 kindly asked
us to "f1 up" to help improve the
cit. 1t certainly is q beautiful sight to
pass through the city and see the fowls
on the mud pond and a stray cow and
horse feeding on our lawns, and then if
the ponds were all filed up where
would the COWS and horses go FOR their
drinking water as that member of the
Board Of Health certainly would not In
cur the enmity of his tenants by SO do
ing.
Cheer up, Mr.. Yensen, perhaps some
one will build on them some day and
we will have a COW catcher as well as a
dog catcher, then our troubles will be
over.

Committees Report.

Social affairs were discussed yes
terday afternoon by the senior class
of the high school In the school
building. 1t was finally decided that
a committee of FIVE, chairman in
cluded, should be elected to arrange
all social affairs and entertainments.
John Toolan, George Miller, Barney
Browning, Minerva Weinblatt and

Will be encircled by the class motto,
which has not been been chosen.
1t was also decided to have all
members pay dues, amounting to
fifty cents each month. A lively dis
cussion was held on this point, some
members stating that less than q
half dollar should be paid because 1t
was not necessary to buy expensive
programs for class day or commence
ment exercises and SO less money
was needed than fifty cents by each
member would bring.
The others stated that the pro-
gram of commencement exercises
was the n thing that the parents
of graduates kept and therefore
they wanted to have programs Of the
| very best kind.

WHY CATCHERS SLOW UP.


Constant STOPPING Harden Muscles Of
Legs and Interferes With Running.
Why do catchers slow up after sew
eral seasons service IN the big
league7 asks a fan. 4 logical reason
is given. 1t follows: Few catchers
are fast on their feet after they have
been In the game q few years, and
this failing is attributed to the fact
that the man behind the bat does a
lot of STOPPING and thus hardens the
muscles Of his legs in such a way as
to interfere with his running. Now
and then & young catcher breaks In
who can step around the bags at a
good clip. but as a rule he loses his
speed after a short time and becomes
slow. To-day there are few catchsrs
who have speed on the bases. Ain
smith Is perhaps the best runner Of
any of the catchers In the major
leagues, and Eddie has not been in
the game long enough to slow up"

Vienna, Sept. 23:-The aged En-
peror Francis Joseph appears to be
facing an uprising similar to that
led by Louis Kossuth, the great
Hungarian patriot, in 1849, when
Francis Joseph had been but a few
months upon the throne. Much riot
ing has occurred in Budapest, and in
many Hungarian towns unrest has
manifested itself in acts of open re-
volt against the authority of the
government. In Vienna all places of
business in the workmen's districts
have been closed. The city looks
like an armed camp, the streets be-
ing %patrolled by many troops.

from the collection of germs,
dust and mud that is bound to
gather along the bottom of an or
binary skirt. Also on wet days
the ankles will be protected from
the chill caused by damp skirts
rubbing against them. If all the
women adopt the harem skirt, |
believe they will be much health
ier."
The consensus of opinion among
the women doctors making up the
committee of which DR.. Mcdonald
is a member, which was in session
here in the days just past, is that
the outlook for women S clothes is
brighter just now that it has been
for many years. They declare that
the tight corset is doomed and that
the passing of the big hat will be
blessing. They haven't a word
to say against the harem skirt.
A few bold spirits who dare to
back up the harem skirt here are
citing in its behalf the authority
of Harry Furniss, the celebrated
London illustrator, who says that
everything about it is good but it's
is scandalous, and
not at all in keeping with its true
character.

Seven Ways to Serve Rhubarb,
Springs Delicious Health Food

a CRATE of nutmeg and a teaspoon
ful OF sugar over each. Time to
fry, three or four minutes.
Rhubarb tarts are delicious.
Divide into stips of " inch. To 1
pint of these pieces add " teacup
water, " cup brown sugar, small
pinch salt and IA grated nutmeg.
Stew fruit gently until quite soft,
then beat with a wooden spoon
until smooth. Line small dishes
with pastry and spread on this a
layer of the stewed fruit little
more than a quarter OF an inch
deep. Roll out pastry, brush over
with the yolk of an egg beaten up
with a spoonful of milk and cut 1t
into strips IA inch wide. Lay
these across the tart. Lay a band
of pastry around the edge or the
dish, trim evenly and bake the
tart in a we'll heated oven. When
the pastry loosens from the dish
it is done enough. Time to bake,
half an hour or more.
Rhubarb souffle is a most de-
lectable dessert. Soak 15 cup
bread crumbs for an hour in l cup
milk. Whip eggs, whites and
yolks separately. Stir yolks into
bread crumbs, add / cup rhubarb
sauce, then fold in the whites.
Pour into a buttered bake dish,
cover, and bake n hour Then
cover and brown the pud-
ding. Serve at once with sweet
ened cream.
A good spring medicine is a
breakfast sauce of dates and rhu-
barb. Seed " pound dates, bare
y cover with hot water, and cook
10 minutes. Add 6 cups raw
rhubarb, cut into small pieces and
cook covered until rhubarb is ten
der. Sweeten to taste.
