record.
only one other number on the pro-
gram was concluded, today That was
the Pentathlon. which wis. intended to
be a test of all-round prowess. When
this event was included in the Olympic
games, conservative old timers, both
English and American who heretofore
had dominated field sports regarded
il with suspicion as a trick of new
corners TO gain points which were NOT
contemplated in the original program
The United States got the lions share
of the glory from that also.
The Indian Thorp by his victory,
won his position as the legitimate sue
cessor of Martin j. Sheridan as an all
round athlete. OF those who entered
this competition, the four Americans,

progress was made, last week, in the
development of conditions which fix
values, but the stock market made
fitful and uncertain response in the
movement of prices and in the APP
praisement of conditions.
The conclusion of the bitterly con-
tested preliminary struggle for the
nominations for President did not re-
suit in any pronounced stock market
action. At one stage of the conven-
ton at Baltimore prices moved down
wards and at another there was p
brisk advance. Neither movement was
sustained until the latter part of the
week. when some sharp losses were
recorded.
Crop news engaged an increase share
of attention in view of the approach
of the critical period for the principal
yield. The governments estimate of
cotton acreage was regarded as espe-
cially important on account of its be-
ing postponed to a month later than
ordinary with supposable Increase of
reliability. The lateness of the pres
ent crop added to the value of the In

on the question of the prosperity of
the cotton region, encouraging deduca-

Anxiety was relieved over the spring
wheat crop. and early harvesting re-
turns from the Southwest included ad +
vices of eager demand for field hands
and for cars to move winter wheat.
The benefit to corn, oats and other
feed crops. from timely rains had even
more effect on financial sentiment. as
the shortage of food for live stock last
year with its ramifying effects on cost
of living, offers one of the most
troublesome of present economy in in

Sentiment in the steel trade remain

STEAMERS COLLIDE.

New York, July THE fog that en-
shrouded Long Island sound, to-day,
was responsible for the collision of two
passenger steamers of the Metropoii-
tan Line plying between New Yrk and
Boston. Although both vessels contin-
ued on their way, leaking badly. no
one was Injured and it was said at the
office of the line that the damages
could soon be repaired. The steamers
were the large white steel vessels Bun

bound for Boston and the latter COM

The collision ceurred of Pint Judith,
r. l., at l.3o a NJ. According to an of
ftcer aboard the Massachusetts,. that
vessel was steaming her regular course
when her sister ship doomed UP in the
fog directly across her bows and the
crash followed almost as quickly as
the Massachusetts could reverse her
engines. The Massachusetts struck the
Bunker Hill amidships. but quickly
veered off and both kept on their way
without stepping to compare damages.
The Massachusetts reached her des-
tination at 1899. this morning. two
hours late. with her bow badly stove.

the water. Her crew did not know the
extent of the damage suffered by the

The crash threw many of the sleep

there was wild rush for the decks.
As soon as they found that there was
no danger. however, the passengers
went back to bed. So far as could be

one woman was taken to a hospital

BATTLESHiP RAMMED.

Newport r. l., July THE United
States battleship New Hampshire was
rammed early, today, while at anchor
near the Newport naval training sta
tion by the Fall River Line steamer
Commonwealth which was cropping its
way through Narragansett bay in a
thick fog. Both ships sustained con-
siderable damage, but no fatalities or
injuries resulted from the collision.
There was but little excitement among
the 1000 passengers on the Common
wealth
The Common wealth struck the New
Hampshire astern and nearly endon.
The accident occurred at AIS A. NJ,
shortly after the Commonwealth had
landed passengers at Newport on its
trip from New York to Fall River. The
Commonwealth was following its regu-
lar course when it collided with the
New Hampshire was lying 500 yards
from the battleship Kansas and 1000
yards from the flagship Louisiana of
fleet to which it belongs.
Because of the heavy fog that pre-
vailed during Ihe night fog whistles
were sounded at intervals on the bat
tleship New Hampshire. but the Com
monwealth was almost upon it when
discovered and the collision could &C.
CURED before the ship could be turned

Crumbling steel and cracking wood
work was heard with the crash and
the Commonwealth shook for a minute
and then backed away. On the steam

All my life l have been a sort Of

must be. confessed. to my own loss.
and trouble, other times with the
happy result Of finding out new and
easier ways. So after a month of pa
per-bag cooking asked myself II l
had sounded its whole possibilities?
There was no definite answer pos
sible--so took counsel with myself
All about me / knew there were
folk. singly or In pairs, who liked hot
food, fresh, yet hated left-overs, who
had further great need to watch the
pennies. 1t seemed wasteful for
them either to heat whole big oven
to cook scrap OF dinner, or cook an
ovenful rather than waste heat. Fur
Their, there were oveniess folk-those
with kitchenettes only, or portable
two ring stoves. put In commission
at need, then whisked out of sight.
Could paper bag cooking be made use
full to them? I was going to find out
in their behalf, and no less my own.
So, upon a Saturday afternoon,
set myself to see II I could solve the
problem without sin against either
ease or economy.
Looking through my pot closet, I
found a cast iron skillet, not over big,
nor small, and about three inches
deep. I found also a deepish round
iron pan just fitting the skillet-top.
Placing one upon the other there was
a space OF almost five inches between
them, top and bottom. Having found
them I went out and bought wire
trivet,e bought also an exact pound
OF finely chopped meat-fourteen
ounces lean veal, with two ounces of
suet. This l shaped into an oval fiat
fish cake, sailed and peppered 1t well
all over the outside, then Toured 1t
literally, and overlaid the top with
thinly sliced mild onion, thickly sliced
peeled tomatoes and sundry Jumps of
well-foured butter. Next put 1t In q
paper bag-the biggest my skillet
would take. pinned in the corners Of
the bag after sealing 1t, and laid 1t
ON the trivet which had been set In
the skillet before It was put, covered.

The skillet was sizzling hot-so hot
that q smell of scorching came forth
in about four minutes. That was the
signal to turn down the heat more
than half. Because I. want my veal
always as we'll done as possible. be-
cause knew the tomatoes would pre-
vent any possible drying out. I left
