Columbus. A public utility is
not entitled to per cent return
on its investment If 1t has been man.
aged improperly and greater expendi.
lures have been made than are justi-
fed by its business. This principle
was laid down by the state public utili-
ties commission in a decision on the
appeal of the Bucyrus Light & Power
Co. from a Bucyrus city council rate
ordinance, just made public. 1t was
the first instance in the history of the
commission that that body has fixed a
valuation upon the physical property
of utility, The ordinance passed by
the Bucyrus city council is held to be
unjust and unreasonable.
Based on a valuation of $4,000. also
determined by the coEmission, the
rates fixed for a f7e-year term were
announced to be Is per cent lower
than the rates heretofore in force and
somewhat higher than the rates fixed
by ordinance of the Bucyrus city
council.
The rates fixed were: For residence
and commercial lighting, 10 cents per
kilowatt hour net for under 30 kilo-
watt hours, cents from 80 to 60 hours
and cents for all over 90 hours; sign
and window lighting. cents; power,
from 5.S5 cents to ZIG cents according
to the amount used.
The commission says that these
rates will not return per cent on the
investment, but charges that the plant
would be making money if it had not
been grossly mismanged.
The valuation placed on the COM
pany's plant is about two-thirds of the
value claimed by the company. Since
the Bucyrus plant has a combination
of gas and electric apparatus such as
exist in few other towns of the state
and in none of the larger cities, the
utilities commissions decision in this
case will not set a general precedent
for making rates based on valuations,
as had been expected earlier in the
consideration of the case.

Poor Little Orphan.

Alice Joyce, star of motion pictures,
had an experience with little negro
girl a few days ago which brings a
chuckle whenever it is repeated
Miss Joyce was on her way home
after an arduous days work. A little
colored girl crying against telegraph
pole aroused her sympathy. The
charming star approached the girl and
inquired the cause of the trouble. The
child replied that her aunt had just
driven her from the house.
Where is your father?" asked Miss
Joyce.
"Nevah had no pappy," was the re-
ply.
We'll, where is your mother?'
"Daid,' was the laconic answer.
Miss Joyce was touched. Dead,
she replied pityingly.
"Yaih! she done died befo An was
bo'n!"

he was in command Of every branch OF
his glorious profession. He was going
to take a postgraduate course in the
pastry line. Everything else Of the
kitchen he was supreme in. A few
years would round him out as a fin
ished artist.
Became q Pastry Artist.
Jules went to a famous pastry cooks
establishment. He went to learn and
he remained to teach. Within month
he was creating things in the pastry
line that the great pastry cooks per-
haps had dreamed of, but never had
been able to produce. There we're
some great pastry artists in the
kitchen. They were men of Paris.
Berne, Strasburg and Berlin. No city
of the world produces greater and bet
ter cooks than Strasburg.
Jules came from Strasburg. There
still was another branch of the culi-
nary art for him to take the highest
courses in. 1t was the shellfish. Just
as a student sacrifices position and
time, so he sacrificed his position
again and went to Glen Island to work
a few years in the cooking of crabs,
oysters, clans and Holsters. Those
were the golden days of the most
beautiful island Of Long Island sound.
Each year Jules broadened in view
and broadened in knowledge. He was
ambitious. He was frugal, as most
Frenchman are, but he longed to be
wealthy. There is a good living in
the kitchen, but not riches or ease.
They did not pay cooks as much in
those days as they do now, either.
When an association of French cooks
was formed to raise the standard in
this country, and incidentally to make
some profit out of the importation of
the rarest and most delightful of
French delicacies, Jules was asked to
take charge of the agency that the
association established. He jumped at
the offer. He saw in 1t an opportunity
to do good for his fellow cooks, and
at the same time get business knowl-
edge he otherwise could not obtain.
The prospect seemed excellent to him
for the association to do great good.

the men OF StrRsburg. Berne, Zurich
and Paris. When he called them to
America they came.
Built a Great Warehouse.
One day Oscar Hammerstein came
along and took look at Jules Forty
second street establishment. Mr.. Ham
merstein saw more than Jules place.
He saw a theater on it's site. Jules
sold the building at a profit of $4,000
to the great theater builder and oper-
attic lmpresario. Then he went into
Fortieth street. The neighborhood was
not good. but that did not matter. He
put up a great warehouse Of about ten
stories. II Is the greatest OF its kind
In America. From the cellar TO the
roof. with the exception Of the offices
and the living quarters Of Jules and
his family, 1t is filled with jellies and
cheeses, caviar and pate de fois gras,
cordials and remarkable pastes, con-
tections such as only the rich can af-
ford, anchovies and picked nuts,
stuffed fruits and rare vegetables,
smoked and dried meats and fish that
cost enough to make a person gasp.
bar lie due and olive oils, essences,
and thousand other things that many
persons think are necessities, but
which the world would be better II 1t
did not use. Rare is the ship that
comes across the sea that does not
bring something to 1t. The money that
has been made in that house is fabuI
lous.
Jules has retired now. Only few
know him as the egg boy of the Astor.
Today he stands as one of the most
prominent Frenchmen OF New York.
He seems to have dropped into the
place Henry Maillard once occupied
in the French colony. Like Maillard
he has been president of the Cercle
Franchise Harmonic and head of the
great French hospital. Wealth has
poured in on him until he has become
millionaire several times over. He
IS vice-president of one of the uptown
banks. The big dividends he gets
each year from the company that now
manages his business provides money
enough to look after all his charities
The Greenville journal. [volume] (Greenville, Ohio) 1850-1918, 1914-10-22

and let him do little business on the
side in real estate. He has made all
his money between Thirty-fourth and
Forty-second streets, and he has the
most supreme confidence in that strip
of New York. He buys and he sells,
buys and Sells. He never has had a
loss.
Americas Debt to Jules.
No man has done more to raise the
art of cookery In America. There
scarcely has been great hotel built
anywhere In the United States within
the last twenty years whose proprie-
tor has not consulted him about the
arrangement of the kitchen or the Sc
lection of the culinary staff. With al
his prosperity, with all the dignity
that money and position and age give
to a man, Jules still loves to cook. He
has all the enthusiasm and a far
wider appreciation of his art than he
had when he was the egg boy of the
Astor. OF nothing, is he prouder than
his fame as cook! It is his one great
vanity. 1t never will abate so long
as he lives. Once year he gives play
to this vanity. Regularly on the an
niversary of his arrival in America he
gives a dinner to his closest friends
For month before the dinner he is
busy planning it, studying little prob
lens in connection with it, experiment.
ing. creating, striving to arrive at
something that will eclipse anything
New York ever has known before. To
this dinner he invites a few of the
bankers with whom he is associated,
a few of the, men of the house of Del
monico, a few of the men of the house
of Sherry, few of the men of the house
of Martin, few of the men of the
house of Poldt, and score of cronies
he has gathered within his friendly
fold in the march of time from those
days of the Astor up to this good year.
They treasure an invitation to that
dinner as something beyond price.
They know that Jules will ransack the
markets of the world and get their
rarest and their best for this feast and
festival of his friends, and they know
the Joy that will be theirs at that glo-
rious meal, for it will be cooked by
Jules.

DENTIST HAD WASTED TIME
Really Was No Use Waiting for Pa
tIent to Close Eye, Seeing Its
Composition.

He was a nervous man, says the
Philadelphia Record. Most men are
when they find themselves In den
lists chair, but he was exceptionally
so. The tooth that had to come out
was quite a small affair-from the
dentists point of view. From the Pa
tents it felt about the same size as
a house.
He decided to have gas. The den
tist, who was in a hurry to go to a
baseball game, tried to persuade him
to do without, but he was determined.
The dentist, in fever of impa-
tience, waited for the victim to lose
consciousness, but the nervous man
insisted on keeping an eye open,
though he had enough gas to float an
airship.
Unable to control himself any long
er, the irate tooth-puller exclaimed:
Let go yourself, man! Shut your
eye, you idiot"
Somewhere from the back-block of
dreamland the patient murmured
sleepily:

He worked hard and faithfully, much
harder and just as faithfully as he
had labored as cook.
His One Hard Year.
There is a difference between work
ing for one boss and fifty. Every
mothers son who was a member of
that association had his own peculiar
ideas as to how Jules should conduct
the business, and each one of them
gave orders to him. 1t did not matter
how great the conflict in orders was,
Jules was to blame. He put In the
hardest year of his life trying to
please all the members and wound up
by pleasing none. Then the associa-
tion decided to give up the importing
business and confine Its attention to
social matters.
Jules was almost heart-broken, but
the trouble in that association was the
best thing that ever happened to him.
He determined never to work for any
boss except himself. He had $4,000,
wife and child. Against the advice
of his wife and friends, he risked that
| $4,000 by buying house in Thirty
fourth street near Seventh avenue.
The $4,000 was only small payment
on the purchase price. There was a
mortgage with interest enough to
swamp him unless he made money
fast. But he had courage. He took
over the importing business of the as
sociation and devoted all his energy
and fine spirit to pushing it. Various
times he had to rake and scrape and
borrow to meet the interest on the
mortgage, to pay duties on the goods
he imported, or to meet the drafts of
the shippers. He lived above the
store-that is the way they do in the
old country-and he scrimped and
saved and tried to be cheerful. His
friends advised. him to move to
cheaper quarters, but Jules was obsti-
nate.
There were horsecars in Thirty
fourth street in those days, but before
Jules had been there two years they
were suppIanted by electric cars. ST.
multaneously Thirty-fourth street was
transformed. Property values jumped
amazingly. Jules sold out his house
at profit of $4,000 and moved to
Forty-second street, close to Seventh
avenue. With the $4,000 and the
profits that were beginning to come
from his business he was able to buy
to greater advantage, to carry bigger
stock and generally push his trade.
He got the business of Delmonico, of
Sherry, of Martin, OF every big restau-
rant In New York. Incidentally he
began to assume new Importance.

lishments and to obtain the best Of
