Wilson to Take Hand

Washington, October 19.-The Presi-
dent of the United States is to take q
hand in deciding the question of whether
Mrs. Emmeline Pankhurst, militant suf-
fragette of England, shall be admitted
to this country.
President Wilson tonight called a. con-
ference for early tomorrow with Secre-
tary Wilson of the department of labor
and Commissioner General Caminetti of
the immigration bureau. High govern
ment officials who are believed to know
the attitude of the President, predicted
that Mrs. Pankhurst would be admitted.
Earlier in the day Commissioner CAM
sell had declined to release Mrs. Pank-
hurst on bond from the Ellis Island i'm
migration station, New York, where she
is being confined pending final action
on her appeal from the order of de-
portation issued in New Yorw yester-
day.
Mr.. Caminetti informally sought the
advice of his superiors on the questions
at issue and applied to the White House
for conference. The President had
been taking keen interest in the case,
realizing the important international
phases of the question.
Though the statutes give the Secre-
tary of State final authority in immi-'
grafton cases, Presidents hitherto have
indicated the construction they desired
placed on such cases.
In view of the early conference at the
White House the formal proceedings in
the case will be postponed from o
o'clock until later in the morning,

the longest on record, for in 1903 Afex.
ander Craigie, of Perth, won a prize
for the longest beard. The length
was seven feet two and one-half
inches. Another competitor, gen.
tleman of Llandudno, was nowhere
with a stubbly growth of only four
feet two inches. Mr.. Craigie began
to grow his beard when he was TWEEN
ty-five years of age. He wore it usual
ly folded up inside his waistcoat, and
trimmed so as to look like an ordinary
everyday sort of beard.
The worlds record, however, was
held by Robert Latter, of Tunbridge,
Wells, England, who six years ago
boosted of a beard no less than six
teen feet in length, which he wore
wound round his waist Mr.. Latter,
who at that time was seventy-eight
years of age, began to grow the beard
when he was about thirty. At first he
cultivated two curls beneath his chin,
and as their length increased he used
to wear them beneath his waistcoat
Eventually these curls attained such a
length that for his own comfort he
had to enclose them in bag, which
was renewed every birthday. Ulti-
mately Mr.. Latter plated his beard.
and as it became too large even to be
carried in a bag, he wound it round
his waist, and used to say that it was
an excellent chest-protector and a
good deal warmer than anything he
could buy.

SOME WONDERFUL WHISPERS

S. G. Brinkley, a native of South
Carolina, claims to have the longest
beard in the states. Its total length
is five feet four inches, and, until he
cropped the ends recently, to make it
more convenient to handle, it meas
ured six feet two inches in length.
Mr.. Brinkley conceals the beard in
a bag beneath his shirt. and has worn
it ever since he was twenty-five years
OF age. He is now tifty-two. It is
not cultivated, but an unlimited and
spontaneous crop of whiskers. At one
time Mr.. Brinkley used to shave regu-
larly, but when he was about twenty
three his beard began to make its ap-
pearance with remarkable speed, and
from one weeks end to another his
face would literally be covered with a
soft and luxuriant beard. At last he
begun to get tired of continually clip
ping and shaving and decided to let
the beard grow, to see how long his
whiskers would get. and before the
end of the year they were at his feet

JEWEL FADS ARE NUMEROUS
Watch Bracelet Mounted on Narrow
Black Ribbon-Seed Pearls to
Ornament the Jabot.

The new watch bracelet is mounted
on narrow black moire ribbon, hold
ing on the arm a very fat watch,
either square, concave or oblong in
shape, made in platinum and encircled
with diamonds. Instead of the black
velvet ribbon, colored ribbon may
be worn, or else band made of very
tiny seed pearls, says Paris cor
respondent.
Then again. there is jabot made
by a clever employment of seed pearls
mounted so as to initiate the delicate
tracery of lace. The gold bags are of
a very fine supple mesh and fashioned
with gold of different shades. The
meshes are often placed in different
ways so as to initiate the iridescence
of silk and MORE. The chain to which
the bag is fastened may be replaced
by thick silk cord the same color as
the gold, and on which are jeweled
slides with stones to match those in
troduced in the mounting. One very
pretty purse may be noted. 1t Is in
platinum, with black and white stripes
alternating with bands of little seed
pearls

Really Attractive Idea Liable to Be
Source Of Serious lnroads Upon
the Average Purse.

A charming modern fancy is found
in the guest book. Its adoption has
arisen from the cost of entertaining,
for in most country houses the week
end is an institution. No doubt the
motor had a good deal to do with the
fashion, for in remote places where
visitors used to be few and far be-
tween friends are now cordially well
coined. Guests set their wits to work
to find few original words of greet
ing, for the old fashioned sentiments
that were wont to decorate country
hotel albums are not suited to the &C.
casion.
VeAum is the latest binding to find
favor, and this year some exquisite
workmanship and designing have been
lavished on these useful books. Tones
large and ponderous are displayed
where entertaining Is done on big
scale, and for the modest but charm
ing cottage or quaint old hall there
are moderately sized books bound in
vellum richly illuminated with scarlet,
blue and gold, and fastened with
leather thongs. Some designers choose
their inspirations from old missals;
others select margined volumes of q
couple of centuries ago, and there
is also a leaning to the beauties Of
Italian renaissance workmanship.
fooled leather is often favored, some
of the models offered being exception
al in their designs, as we'll as in the
way in which the work is executed.

FEEDING TAME GOLDFISH

At Logan, near the Null of Gallo
way, there is a most interesting tidal
fish pond. A rent in the cliffs facing
the Irish channel admits the salt wa

ed by grating, into circular rock ba-
sin some thirty feet in diameter and
twenty feet deep.
The cliffs rise high all around
Stone steps descend on one side to

itor's football resound on the stairs
than the green water, hitherto motion
less and apparently lifeless. becomes
peopled with large brown fish arising
from the depths, gliding and dashing
about in state of great excitement.
These are cod, which, caught on lines
in the sea, have been transferred to
this pond to be fattened for the table.
They are fed daily by the keeper, and
experience has taught them to connect
the sound of footsteps with their
mealtime.
Formerly a clappe7 used to be rung
to summon them, but this was no
more than a trick Of the stage The
football on the stone is quite enough
to awaken them to activity. Most of
the cod, being deep-water fish, become
totally blind in captivity from excess
of light; but they become so tame and
accustomed to their keeper as not
only to feed out of his hand, but some
of them allow themselves to be lifted
out of the water. One may witness
the strange sight of huge cod more
than four feet long. dangled on the
knee like a baby, his mouth stuffed
with mussels and limpets, after which
he is returned to the water with a
mighty splash. On the table these fish
thus tended and fed, prove much bet
ter than fish brought straight from
the open sea.

ROMAN BONES IN ENGLAND

The extension of the infirmary at
Chester, England, has led to the dis
covery of the graveyard used by the
twentieth legion of the Romans dur
ing their occupation of that city. the
Chester infirmary occupies site
which is locally referred to as the
plague field" The site seems to have
acquired it's unsavory name from the
fact that casual discoveries of human
remains had led to the supposition
that they were the victims of the great
plague. The recent unearthing of re-
mains in larger numbers on the site
Of the extension of the intirmary led
to an investigation by Prof. Robert
Newstead, who now reports that the
evidence proves conclusively that the
infirmary field was not used as bury
ing ground during the outbreak of the
plague, and that all the burials which
have been SO far unearthed belong to
the Roman period
-Four distinct types of graves have
been uncovered. One is tomb form
ed of local sandstone, evidently rep.
resenting burial of some importance,
as the walls of the tomb are covered
in plaster. and the dome of the struc-
ture originally stood out in marked
contrast to the surrounding surface
of the land, forming a distinct tumu-
lus. Some of the graves were formed
by placing Roman roofing tiles bear
ing the stamp of the twentieth legion
upon the floor and also at the sides.

Another type of burial was formed
by placing roughly hewn sandstone so
that V-shaped trough was formed for
the reception of the body A fourth
type of grave consists of simple
trench, dug in the solid clay at depth
of not more than two feet from the
original land surface
The Roman origin of the graves is
borne out by the fact that bronze coins
of the Emperors Antonius, Plus and
COmmOdus have been found in them.

mouth of the deceased, and are gen

CAKE MAKING,

The evolution of cake making has
changed the old, tedious process of
dreaming butter, adding the sugar
gradually or dreaming both together.
Now, a good cake may be made in
half the time it took to cream the
butter and sugar. Putting all the in
gradients together as follows: Break
in the eggs, add the sugar, warmed
butter, little flour, then all of the
milk, and flour with the baking pow
der, the beating coming after all the
mixing is done. Beat we'll for five
minutes with a large Dover egg beat
er. and turn into the pan. Water may
be used instead of milk, with scarcely
any difference in the quality of the
cake. The butter must not be melted
to destroy the grain, but simply soft
ened enough so that it will be readily
mixed.
The old-fashioned one, two, three,
four cake is the mother of all the
butter cakes. Sponge cake is the
foundation for jelly rolls, lady fingers,
angel and sunshine cakes.
An even teaspoonful of baking pow
der to a cup of flour is sufficient for
all cakes with eggs. An excess of
baking powder not only makes a
coarse-grained cake but one which
drys out very quickly.
The shape in which the cake is to
! be baked should decide the amount
of flour to be used. Layer cakes or
small cakes baked in gem pans re-
quire less flour than loaf cakes.
Sunrise Cake.-Take half cup of
butter, add a cup of sugar to the
softened butter, the yolks of six eggs.
little of half cup of milk, two cups
of flour, two teaspoonfuls of baking
powder. Mix and then stir in the rest
of the milk, beating we'll with the egg
beater until light and foamy. Flavor

and vanilla.
