PORK PIES too MUCH
FOR JUDGES STRENGTH
Unable to Go on With Task
and Tackle the MinCe
Meat.
Special Cablegram to The Star.

Special Cabegram to The Star.
LONDON, October with many signs
of relief the judges in the confectionery
section Of the bakers and confectioners'
exhibition this afternoon completed their
task Of tasting the hundreds Of delectable
CONNECTIONS entered in various COMPETE
tons.
The mince pies were the last of all to
come under review. After five days of
strenuous tasting F. Starkey of Birming-
ham emerged as the champion faster of
the world. up to the last said Mr.. T.
Percy Lewis, chairman of the judges, ut
was a close sgthing between Mr.. Starkey
and w. T. Callard Of Leicester, but Mr..
Callard broke down after the pork pies
and could not go on to the mince meat.
Mr.. Starkey is vice chairman of the
judges. and it is his duty to see that they
do not shirk the tasting. He, too. begged
to be excused after the pork pies, but
persuaded him to go on.
Here is a list of the things he has
judged during the week, and he has
tasted them all: Monday. 344 cakes;
Tuesday, 175 sponge cakes, 235 tarts,
buns and small cakes: Wednesday, 80
wedding cakes with almond icing; Thurs
day. 315 pastries; Friday, 22S pork pies.
81 Christmas buildings and IS mince pies.
The wedding cakes nearly overcame
him Wednesday, but ne was ready for
the fray again Thursday. 1 think it is a
fine tribute to the purity of the goods
made by the confectioners of England
that a man can taste all that lot and
still be WE'LL
Mr.. Callard. who lost by a short head,
said that the last hours of the judges
task were much cheered by the excel
lence Of the pork pies Never BEFORE -
he said, "have we known them to be so
fine. We really enjoyed tasting them
There is much distinction about pork
pies. The judges can always tell what
county a pork pie was made in by it's
flavor and appearance. We guessed right
ly the counties that the first five pies
came from. The winner was from War

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, October 5.-Rev. F. B. Meyer
of Leeds admits the following incident in
Midland Chapel: The preacher was an
noyed by the sound of whispering COM

the galleries. At last he paused in his
sermon and declared: IF the young

them to the church." 1t was a chance
shot, but next Sunday he found twenty
couples awaiting him in the vestry!
Rev. Mr. Meyer told the young couples
that he does not seriously object to a
little counting" in chapel. He urged
them, however, mot to carry counting to

BANK OF ENGLAND BOYS
STRIKE AGAINST FINES
Men Taking Their Places Get Much
More Money and Are Also
Dissatisfied.

Special Correspondence Of The Star.
LONDON, September 81, 1912.
The Bank of England has not "gone
on strike" although an erroneous rumor
of the kind ran in the city and was
seized by some merchants as an expla-
nation why they were unable to. settle
their accounts yesterday. The idea Of a
strike or lockout at the bank certainly
offered a great opportunity for the city
wits.
Fancy a strike in the Bank of Eng
land,' said one. lover a paltry shilling
or two. Why, that's the very center Of
all the wealth in the world"'
The reply was: Every one in the Bank
of England has not necessarily plenty of
money, any more than every one in
Greenwich Observatory has plenty Of
time
To the boys on strike. however, it is no
joking matter. They are Of the ordinary
type of boy messenger, beginning work
at weekly wage of seven shillings.
Their work is laying on and taking off
the sheets from the machines by which
the bank notes, consol certificates, divi-
dend warrants land national debt sta
tionery are printed The machines print
at rate of about 5000 sheets a day,
and the laQS nave TO De Careful NOT 10

Fined for Small Faults.
Though the lads begin at Z shillings
per week. they have an opportunity be-
fore they leave of reaching Is shillings in
some Of the departments by means of the
extra money and allowances for over
time Ordinarily they work from half
past s to 5 o'clock, and their chief
complaint is that they are fined for the
most trivial faults. The maximum fine
is usually shillings. Inc severity of the
fines is said to have increased very
greatly in the last few months, and both
boys and men declare that they are now
employed under sweating conditions.
It does not seem that the bank can
carry on it's printing for very long with
out the boys They must keep up a con-
slant and regular supply Of bank notes
and postal orders. and consequently they
have today been employing men for the
work the boys have hitherto performed,
and while they can dc no more work
than the boys they receive wages of G2
or SO a week. The bank officials are
reticent about the whole affair. but the
climax of the discomfort appears to have
been reached when, Monday, punching
clocks were installed to check the work
ers' time, and the punching is said to
curtail very materially their meal hours.

FATHER REYNOLDS HERO
OF FATAL RAIL CRASH
Mgr. Shahan Denies It Was He
Who Aided Rescue at !.
Westport.

Reports that Mgr. Thomas Shahan rec
tor of the Catholic University, was the
priest mentioned in news dispatches yes
terday as having ministered to the needs
OF the dying at the scene of the wreck
on the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford railroad Thursday at Westport.
Conn.,, in which seven persons We're killed
and more than forty injured, proved to be
unfounded this morning, upon the return
to Washington of Mgr Shahan.
Il was not in the wreck l am glad to
say Mgr. Shahan remarked this morn
ing. Il spent Thursday and Thursday
night in Hartford. Conn.,, where l had
gone to attend the Patrick Garvan flu
neral, attended by the four women of
the Brady family, who were killed 1t
seems proper. however, to say that the
priest who did minister to the needs of
those i'm the wreck was the Rev Father
j. n. Reynolds. pastor of ST. James
Church at Red Bank. n. J. He also had
gone to Hartford to attend the funeral l
attended, and he left for home on the
train that was wrecked.
Refused to Give Name.
The accounts of the wreck described the
work of an unidentified Catholic clergy
man, who. in addition to administering
the last rites to such Catholics as could
be found, aided other passengers and
trainmen in taking from the wrecked
cars persons who were dead or dying or
otherwise in need of aid The priest at
the time refused to give his name to in
quirers at the wreck, it was stated. and
Mgr. Shahan, who learned it through fell
low-clergymen. said this morning he
thought it was proper that credit
should be given where credit is due.
Father Reynolds was in one of the rear
Pullmans of the wrecked train, and
aside from bad shaking up he was un-
injured AS soon as the wreck occurred
he turned his attention to rescue work,
being one of the first to reach the ditch
ed cars ahead of his sleeper.
The report from the wreck which gave
the name of the Secretary of the Treas
ury as being in the disaster, also proved
to be unfounded. Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury Sherman Allen received a
dispatch from Secretary MacVeagh yes
terday which Informed him that the
Secretary was on the train behind the
one that was wrecked, and had safely
arrived in New York.
