StirS Broadway

started at 62S Broadway early today
resulted in a loss appraised at from
S150,00O to $3.50, 900. Insurance estimated

The fire was discovered in the third

such proportions hat five alarms were
turned in, calling out all the apparatus
in the department from Maiden lane to
Twenty-ninth street. and caused all of
those from the Battery to Forty
seventh street to be shifted to the de-
serted posts.
The flames burned through the glass
headlights to the roof. While the fire.
men were on the third and fourth
floors the roof fell in, and the men were
forced to fly to the ladders for their
lives.
To the south of this building is the
Cable building, occupied by the Metro
politan Traction Company, a ten-story
structure, while to the north is an
e~leven-story building. Both made a
chimney for the smoke and flames.
The nr~e-shutters of the latter were
open, and the fire communicated to
the tenth and eleventh stories.
The men of the traction
company were pressed into service, and
they poured streams OF water down
into the roaring furnace from the
standpipes.

FILLS HOSPITAL
BEDS; BARES LARDER.

The large increase of patients at st.
Michaers Hospital. due to the severity
of the weather, has caused great in
convenience to the sisters in charge of
the institution, as many of them have
had to give up their beds to accommo-

accommodations for the large influx of
patients, the sisters have also been
hard pressed to provide nourishment
for the patients, who develop rapacious
appetites during their convalescence,
and have practically emptied the
larder of the hospital, as the great ma
jority of the patients are charity cases.

PETE BR0WNlNG'S BATS.
They Still Served the Old slusser After
He Quit Baseball.

One or the oldest and most eccentric
characters baseball has ever produced
was old Pete Browning. the famous
slugger, who played with Louisville
around the eighties and later joined
the Cleveland club In 1890 during the
Brotherhood war.
Pete was a little of In his roof gar

difference how many fly balls be drop

Bats were a mania with Browning,
which suited him . was added TO his
enormous collection. So many were
gathered at various points on some of
his trips that he sometimes was forced
to pay excess baggage on the prizes.
According TO Van Haltren. 1t was
Browning who introduced the habit of
rubbing down Sat with tobacco juice.
which custom is followed to this day
by many of the players. The idea is
to roughen the surface of the stick
and prevent so many fouls slipping off
one side or the other.
Browning. who was a great user OF
the weed. used to polish down his
sticks in this way without any appar-
ent reason until he commenced to be-
lieve that it made difference with his
hitting. and after that no wagon tongue
of his ever escaped a coating of the OBJ.

Other players took 1t up in the hope
of emulating Browning. and now it is
a common custom throughout the coun-
try.
When Pete retired from the game
all the bats, relics of former days,
were still in his possession. In order

If bits of yolk get in with the whites
when separating eggs touch the yellow
pieces with a dry cloth and see how
quickly they disappear When small
pieces of shell fall into the egg use a
large piece Of shell instead of spoon
to extract them and you will not have
to fish for the slippery bits. An easy
way to separate eggs is TO break one

over glass. The white viii pass
through, leaving the yolk in the funnel.
