F. H. Eigen, chef for the past sum-
mer at the Hotel Del Otero, Lake
Minnetonka, took charge of the
kitchen of the Minneapolis Athletic
Club Gold Commercial Club on the
first of September, and being selected
to fill the position of chef at the M
A. c. is an evidence of Mr.. Eigen's
high ability and qualifications
Born in Dusseldorf, Germany, and
serving his time at his chosen pro-
fession in the Park hotel in Dussel-
dorf and the restaurant in the Royal
Geological Gardens of Berlin, he
severed his connections there and
went to France and England, and
worked in some of the prominent
hotels of these countries. Having a
disposition to see the world, he final
ly landed in China and Japan, and
after working in the hotels of the
Orient, he made his way to this coun-
try.
Since coming to the United States
he has held positions of prominence
in his profession at the Waldorf
Astoria, New York City; also as as
sistant chef at the Hotel Rexmere of
New York, chef at the Hotel Nelson,
Rockford, ILL.,, and the New Cataract,
Sioux Falls, S. D.
Considering the good record made
at the M. A. c. by chef Eigen, where
Negro walters are employed under
the efficient headwaiter Mr.. d. E.
Beasley, it is believed that the entire
culinary force will be transferred the
new building, where there would be
no question of friction between the
workers of different races. Chef
Eigen is one of many white chefs in
this city who find it agreeable and
economic to labor with men, regard
less of color.

NEARBY MELONS HERE SOON.
Wharf Dealers Expect Arrivals From
Down the River Sunday.

Unless the dealers who handle water
melons at the 11th street wharf are mis-
informed. the first load Of the fruit will
arrive here aboard a vessel from the
Rappahannock river about next Sunday,
and will be followed during the week by
vessels from North Carolina and along
Chesapeake bay. Capt. Dave Faunce,
who handles many hundred thousand
melons each season. received this in
formation in letters from his shippers
and preparations for the handling Of
the fruit are now being made.
Some little lumber is still on the 18th
street wharf, but. it is stated. this will
be removed in the next day or two, so
that when the watermelon feet begins
to arrive an open wharf will be found
on which to handle the melons. Last
season the first melons arrived July 2s
and it was cold weather before the last
melon boat discharged her cargo.
Reports received from the sections that
supply the market with melons state
that the outlook for an abundant crop
of superior fruit is good and that the
coming season will be busy one.

The plan adopted involves the free uss
OF a spray containing a solution OF

A PHILADELPHIA FIREMAN.
How That City Treats Its Men Who
Are Injured in Service.

10 Tile EA1llOf OIL ne Stdf
Noting the communication from Nor
man Fenten in regard to Fireman
scwerdtferger s case. it might be of in
terest to see how the city of PIila-
de,phia treats its firemen who are in
jured while performing their duty.
Some years ago i fireman. Gus 1Iae-
berle. was caught between beams in II
burning building and pinioned there
for a number of hours. During This
time he was being drenched with
water with the result that tubercu-
losis set in. His case was lingering
and he was able to go around. and, in
fact. he was strong enough to do some
light work. However. he was hurt
while performing his duty and his pay
went ON just the same as though he
were at work, and would have con-
tinued to do SO indefinitely. but un-
fortunately he was killed by an acci-
dent OF course, his pay continued till
his death.
Is there any reason why the fremen
OF the District of Columbia should be
put upon a different basis from those Of
Philadelphia" The United States gov
ernment is surely as able to pay its
1iremen who are hurt while performing
their duty as the city of Philadelphia.
