TO ELIMINATE ALL DRUDGERY
Chicago Housewives Form Club and
Buy Electric Cleaners, Washing
Machine, Flatirons and Fan.

A women's club has been formed
in Chicago which might well be
called the "Women's Anti-Drudgery
club"
The club is not incorporated, has
no officers or clubrooms, and consists
of only six members. But the club
has a purpose and this purpose is the
eliminating of drudgery in the respec-
tive households of the members.
The club is the possessor of an
electric vacuum cleaner, one electric
washing machine, two electric irons
and a fan for drying the washing.
The only dues are those required for
the upkeep of these labor savers, and
this amount has been estimated to be
about three cents a week. The Gin
itiation" fee consists of the price Of
the apparatus divided into six equal
parts.
The members have the use Of any
or all of the apparatus one day a
week. For instance, Mrs. Brown may
do her cleaning on Monday and her
washing on Wednesday. She will
have the vacuum cleaner on Monday
and the washing machine, iron and
fan on Wednesday.
The scheme works out to every
body's satisfaction, 1t is reported. A
small boy has been hired to take the
apparatus to the different houses,
which are all in one neighborhood

Wilmington, Qel-"The recurrent

years bacteriologist in the state labo.
ratory in connection with Delaware
college at Newark Dr. Robin, now a
resident OF Wilmington, continued:
The four years that ! spent at
Newark enabled me TO learn all about
the town. The present outbreak Of
typhoid fever is traceable entirely to
files. The town has no system Of
sewerage. AS a result filth is not car
,ried away; 1t remains on the surface
and in cesspools The water supply IL
absolutely pure.
When a single case of this dread
disease manifests itself, especially in
summer, 1t is not long before other
cases develop. This is because flies
carry the germs from the filth to the
homes of prospective victims by
crawling over their food.
There are now upward of a dozen
cases In the town, a majority of them
being among colored people who have
no screens in the windows Of their
homes. AS long as Newark remains
without a system OF sewers just so
long will II be impossible to prevent
these epidemics at intervals. It Is
not possible to kill all the flies, but It
Is possible for the town to install
sewers"
When a serious epidemic of typhoid
occurred at Newark couple of years
ago and caused a number of deaths
the authorities of the town conducted
an exhaustive investigation as to the
origin without results. Prof Freiden-
berg, a member of the Delaware col
iege faculty. died from the disease, as
did several students.

BONUS FOR A TENANT
CANNOT GET ANYBODY TO RENT
HAUNTED HOUSE.
One Nocturnal Experience With
Ghosts Is Enough for the Land
lord, and He Wants Somebody
Else to Live There Now.

Kent, Fifty dollars cash bo-
nus and two months rent free to any,
body who will live not less than two
months in this house.
Such is the sign which Ezra Blake,
wealthy landowner, has put up on
one of his houses in the negro quarter
near here.
Among negroes the house is re-
puted as haunted" Up to a month
ago 1t was never known to have any
spiritual visitors. But the last ten
ants, couple named Jackson, after
living in it for five years, had a ghost
~ visitor one night, and since then
MRS. jackson declares that a ghost
chased her up the back stairs, and
Mr.. Jackson corroborates her.
jackson was first to hear queer
noises, and he aroused his wife.
Josephine he called, "th' suah an
arful queer SCUM in de cellar!'
Josephine listened, and there came
TO her ear sound of low moaning,
punctuated by sibilant whisperings.
Josephine trembled, but Jackson leap
ed out of bed. He said he'd 'investi-
gate the matter thoroughly"
Josephine he said, you go down
cellar and see wha' TO that noise is. Eff
you need any help, why jes call me,
that's all, jes call me-"
Josephine demurred, but Jackson
was nrm; SO Josephine went down
stairs. while Jackson sat behind the
washstand.
He didn't have long to wait. Joseph
Inc come back shrieking: Nah God,
its arter mel"
Jackson didn't wait to see what "it-
was, but spraing through the window
TO the porch roof and slid" down a
post to the ground. The last Joseph
Inc saw OF him he was sprinting I'D
the road leading to their nearest ne
gro neighbor. AS he ran Josephine's
shrieks were as wings to his legs.
jackson would have given $4,000 If he
had it-so he said afterward-to have
had that ghost right then. What he
would have done to it would have been
a plenty.
AS it was, he hoofed it right along
to his neighbours and told his story.
Jackson and his neighbor returned
to the house to rescue Josephine, but
when they reached the house the
shrieks had ceased Evidently she was
gone, bat the intrepid pair waited
few yards away for the ghost.
Presently young Nose Johnson es-
pied fiimsy white figure fitting past
the upstair window. He let fly an ap-
pie. 1t hit the white-robed figure
square in the face. The head was
poked into the window.
Nose Johnson" it shrieked. IN
smash your everlastin good-for-nufiin'
niger head for you"
1t sounded like the voice OF Jo-
sephine. And, in fact, as Nose did
a quickstep up the road, Josephine
darted down the back stairs.
Nothing could induce Josephine to
return, though her husband limited TO
her that her attire was not quite the
thing for the street. So the couple
spent the rest of the night at a neigh.
bor's house. Since then not a negro
has crossed the threshold of the
haunted house"
Blake recently spent considerable
money repairing the place, and he
says he does not propose to be rob
bed of his house by a superstitious
prejudice"

BALTIMORE, Md, May 2S.-New-
ark defeated Baltimore yesterday for
the third time in four days by talk
ing advantage of the Orioles porous
defense. The Birds made six errors
behind Morrisette, a young collegian
picked up by Jack Dunn. The Ben
gals grabbed every opportunity that
came their way and won the game,
5 to 2.
Johnny Enzmann pitched a sterling
game, gathering six strikeouts and
holding the Orioles safe at all times.
He allowed nine hits, two more than
the Tigers made, but many of the
bingles were scratchy, and they were
scattered for the most part. The
Orioles punched three errors in the
very first inning and the Tigers, aided
by timely hit, got two runs out OF
1t.
Dalton began by flying to Cooper.
Gagnier was safe on Corcoran's fun

to right field. Swacina sent a sacri-

fumbled the ball, in centre field
A pass.to Maisel, a sacrifice bunt and
D single from Downey sent Maisel

Baltimore ever came to tieing the

Cooper's single, the Birds may have

Newark got this tally right back in
the seventh inning on Higgins's triple

HEIRESS-LOVE DECIDES
TO BUILD CUP DEFENDER

BRISTOL, R. L., May 2s.-''Nat"
Herreshoff, designer of many sue
cessful defenders of the Americas
cup, probably will build candidate
for the defense OF the cup next year
against Sir Thomas Upton. and a
syndicate made UP of Mr.. Cornelius
Vanderbilt, Mr.. Oliver Iselin and
some of the other older members of
the New York Yacht Club will fur
ninsh the funds.
That Mr.. Herreshoff has expressed
willingness to accept a commission
from the syndicate was learned on
his return from New York, after a
long conference requested by MEM
bers of the New York Yacht Club
who have been prominent in financ-
ing other cup racers.
Ten days ago the Bristol designer
informed a committee of younger
New York yachtsmen that he did not
care to enter competition for design
ing a defender to meet Sir Thomas
challenger next year. but his attitude
is now said to have changed. A COM
mission for a seventy-five foot yacht
is expected here soon.
