LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

To the Editor of The Bridgeport Far
 mer Sir:
 have been asked by a. friend of some of those killed in the recent Haven if the N. '. N. H. & H. ana the Boston & Albany R. R. purchases of coal on five year and other long contracts Cat what is understood to pc very profitable priceS) from coal m terests very closely connected with its nanagement and operating depart ments, even including some Of It's D1- rectorate, as brought out in Boston inouiries recently, may not have had a close bearing upon many II not all or the numerous awful wreckS and JOSS of life on these roads, particularly for 4t17e4osst wear or. two, together with the question as to whether there has existed or now exists a premium ana penalty incentive for the engineers to bring in their trains on time even to the extent of taking grave chances in so doine for example, in foggy times, disregard warning signals, etc, for the purpose of making up lost tne-
 It is recalled in this connection that following certain evidence being brought out as to such coal contracts, and particularly one for 5O,0O0 to TO- 900 tons per month for five years giy- en to one of the Directors as President of a Virginia Coal Co., and others to the Keystone Coal Co., in the interests of the Mellen family, that there was a strong effort to justify such coal con tracts by some such statement as that when using such coals the proportion of trains reported as on time cOmpar- ed with those reported as late had not only greatly improved but was ahead of all other important roads. Now what induced the Brotherhood of Railroad Engineers to establish such records even at extra. hazard to the travelling public and to the benefit of such contracting parties for SUD- plies of many millions of dollars worth of coal?

WIRELESS TO WASHINGTON FROM
 ISOLATED SAMOA

Washington, Sept. 23-The little naval station of Tutuila, Samoa, which has always been regarded as about shut off from electric communication with the outside world, came across unexpectedly, late yesterday, with a message to the navy department. In quiry showed that the means of com munication was, first the wireless out fit on the little station ship Princeton at Tutuila- This was not sufficient to reach any of the shore wireless sta tions but the message was picked up by a passing steamer hundreds of miles to the southward and relayed by wireless to Suva, in the Fiji Is- lands. There 1t was put on the cable and dispatched around the world to Washington. It is expected that when the new and powerful wireless sta tion planned by the German govern ment at Apia, Samoa, is in operation, the station ship at Tutuila will be en- abled to maintain constant communi4 cation with this country.

SIS CADETS AT
 WEST POINT BUT
 ONLY 58O BY LAW

Washington, Sept. 23-At present tEare are 613 cadets under instruc- T1on at West Point, although the law intended there should be only 580. This is because, instead of waiting un- til his appointee has served a full four years term each Senator and, Repre- sentative is now allowed to nominate another appOintee at the end of the others third year of school so that fer a limited period the Congressman has two cadets under instruction at the same time.
 Beginning last July. all those en- titled to fill vacancies that will occur, next year, were invited to send Tn nominations for the examinations 10 be held next March, for admission tc the academy in June. Among the seventeen Senators who have failed so far to respond are Weeks, or Massa- chusetts; Hollis, of New Hampshire; Maritime and Hughes, of New Jersey, and Dillingham;, of Vermont Cand1- dates are yet to be nominated also from a large number of Congressional districts.

FINE REVIVAL OF
 1.-THE SILVER KING''

Most theatre goers think the nelo- drama passed with the birth of popu- larity of moving pictures. Many ac- tors and many theatrical managers be- Iieve, however, that real lovers of the theatre will alwaps patronize the good me1odramas which like Shakespeare can never die. Among the actor or-managers who hold this be- lief is William Corbett, who is pre- senting that fine old melodrama, "The Silver King at the Park theatre.
 If the appreciatfve applause which greeted the performance last night may be taken as a criterion, MT. Cor betts belief is well founded. Sur rounding himself with a capable com pany of players, MT. Corbett has also taken advantage of all the latest in ventions in stage effects in his presen- tation of the drama, whose scenic sit nations are both numerous and varied. But not alone on scenic effects does this old time drama depend. It con- tains many fine lines and gives the performers who produce it many op portunities to display their talent, op- portunities which incompetents might overdo so that their reading of the lines would descend to mere rant. MT Corbett's players, however, appear to have been selected with care and last night they gave "The Silver King such a reading as the fine play de- ssrT e's{c5SS oi5 edE Is ahRfw ssw
 The play WAS d1OSL pOpu1dT W4lu theatre goers of a general ation ago. It is from the pen of the brilliant Hen ry Arthur Jones. wilson Barrett first appeared in the title part at the Prin- cess theatre in London. It sprang into instant success and that success was duplicated afterward in every English speaking country on the globe.
 Osmond TerroI1 first appeared in it in America. Among other distinguish cd actors than MT. Gorbett who have produced the piece in this coun- try E. S. Willard, Herbert Kelcey and Carl A. Haswin. Such well known actresses as Fife Shannon, Rose Coghlan and zeffy Tflbury, have been seen in the part of Nellie Den yer, the wife of ''the silver king.
 MT. Corbett is native of New Bri- tain and before he became star him. self he played big parts in the com panies of some of the best known ac- tors. He has secured the dramatic rights for 'sThe Silver King for the United States and Canada and ap- pears to have spared neither personal effort nor expense in making the re vivaI a, noteworthy one.

A Gan of Salmon

3 There is always a demand for ready to eat foods, and salmon, dealers say, is the biggest seller of all canned goods.
 This rich fish is now cooked and seasoned so well when canned that it may go directly to the table with out any addition, but is much finer when made into croquettes, patties, salads, or served with cream sauce.
 A salmon salad is made by mixing a can of salmon, bones removed, with a cup of finely minced celery, four red pinentos, two tablespoons of lemon juice and a cup of rich French salad dressing. Put this on ice until chill ed then serve on salad plates with toasted, buttered, hot wafers
 Salmon croquettes fine and bone a cup of canned salmon Add. a, tablespoon of flour and one of butter. Mix and press firmly into cones- Roll in fine crumbs and fry two minutes in deep fat.

EFFICIENT HOUSEKEEPING
BY HENRIETTA D. GRAUEL Domestic Science Lecturer)
Care of Lace Curtains

Like many of our prized possessions elaborate embroideries, fine faces and delicate hangings require. an unlin1it- ed amount of time and care
 Since they have come to be a part of every well furnished home we enjoy having them and the problem of keep ing them at their best lies well within the scope of science.
 A knowledge of textiles is now taught our girls in up-to-date schools, as well as the laundering of fine things. Our grandmothers knew, at first hand, the shrinking qualities of hand woven linen as they had guided it through their looms after garnering g and hecklfng the flax it was made from.
 When they sewed and Iaundered their. precious store of white things they did it so carefully that they lasted for a life time and are now treasured heirloorns.
 Perhaps some of the next genera ton will come to have a similar Knowledge of this nice branch of housewifery To-day many valued ar ticles are sent to the cleaners for lack of it.
 Usually the work is satisfactory and the charges light but hundreds of families are out of touch with clean- ing establishments so that mild cleaning compound and a curtain stretcher must take tn cir place.
 Delicate nets and laces should be placed in a bag and soaked until the grine is loosened and then washed between the hands in a. heavy father.
 Remove from the bag, rinse and blue and dry by fastening evenly across the stretcher.
 If the threads are broken in spots the time to mend it is while it is se- cure1y fastened in the frame. Use thread of the same quality and iY11i- tate the design of the net or lace and the mending need scorcely show, though this is a more difficult duty than the cleansing.

Sun is the enemy of lace and other curtains; it makes them tender ands if they are of ecru, fades them. The creamy tint may be restored by dip ping the curtains in weak coffee or in water co1ored with chrome dye, until the right shade is secured.
 Never use tea for this as it streaks and when the next cleaning time comes the stain will not wash out.
 When lace and net are very old and ftmsy a thin starch will give them body. It must be well cooked as it is not to be ironed.
 Mix two tablespoons of starch with a cup of cold water and pour it into a quart of boiling water, cook, stir ring constantly until thick and clear, thin with boiling water and cool be- fore using.
 The net around embroidery should not be touched with the iron, pull it into place, shape and size. Mono grams and embroidery are pressed upon the wrong side, while moist, on a. towel folded into several thicknesses makes a f1rst-class pad when placed upon the regular ironing board.
 Lace edgings must not be ironed either either, pull them into shape and pin them so until dry then work them between the fingers until the net is softened and the 1guresko of the pat tern stand out wellss .s s4
 alEshesbesteef all chemicals for clean ing and sweetening fabrics are wa ter, air and sunshine, there are some stains that will not yield to. this gen tie treatment. and for these JaveIle water is an old time remedy
 To make it put a. pound of wash ing soda in a. pint of water, mix four ounces of chloride of lime in another pint of water and stir until the Jumps are dissolved Pour both liquids to- gether When clear bottle for use-'
 Stains are wet with this and well rinsed before washing; it b1eaches so must not be used upon colored ar. ticles.

REAL ROMANCE OF THE STAGE
 IS DISCLOSED AT POLPS

It is usually true that everything that glitters is before the footlights, and but little romance finds it's way behind the unpainted canvas. This, however, does not always hold true as performers are human though their best is given to the audience which halls them clever.
 An interesting romance and attach ment which resulted in the breaking LID of one of the best known couple of fun-makers and the winning of a pretty girl came to light in the Eva Tanguay troupe recently fwhen the two real fun-makers sought the hand hof a little ingenue which but one could win.
 It was while the show was travel ing through the west that pretty little Dolly Hackett joined the company. Morrissey & Han1on were included in the big cast and both at once fell beneath the charms of the blonde were as the figure ''O'' to both who strove through comedy and pathos to win little Hackett.
 Through the City of the Mormons the strife was waged until in Denver little Dolly Hackett leaned towards Morrissey. Feeling had grown so keen in the company over the con- test, as Morrissey led his bride to the altar, followed by the other perform CTS who aided in the ceremony, Nor r1ssey &, Hanlon oroKe up aIter long years together.
 When the identity of the pair was yesterday discovered at the Poli thea tre where they are performing under the names of Morrissey & Hackett both confessed to their part in the episode which created much talk in vaudeville circles two weeks ago, ana Morrissey with a, fond look at hrs lifelong partner when asked if they were as happy as they appeared said s'I guess you can see from the ex- pression we put into our featured songs *tOh, You Great Big Bunch of Sweetness and "I Want to Meet That Man. which were written especially for us, that we love each other
 Thus is the old saw, There is no romance behind the footlights,'' again disproVen.

tablespoon of melted butter. Shape into a roll and slice in round cakes. Dredge each cake with flour and fry brown in hot butter.
 Creamed SaImon-Bone and break apart one can of salmon but do not drain the liquor off.
 Melt a tablespoon of butter in a sauce pan and add one tablespoon of four to it, blend this until smooth, then add a cup of cream or rich milk. When of the right consistency put in the salmon and continue cooking, stir- ring all the while, until the mixture is smooth and creamy in appearance. Add pepper to suit the taste and serve on individual plates with dia- monds of buttered toast. This dish is especially liked for breakfast but is appropriate for little suppers as it can be made in the chahng dish at the ta.- bIe.
