BUTLER SAYS He

Servant in SamueIs Home, Who
Led Police to Buried lew
els, Alters Confession

Having cogitated for three days and
nights on the subject, John Coffee, 16,
4 negro, who confessed that he stole
jewels valued at 1900 from the home
of Sig Samuels, No. 527 Washington
street, where he was employed as but
Ter, and led the police to vacant
field near Clarke University and
showed them where he had buried
the jewels, told a weird and thrilling
story of masked bandits and undying
devotion to his employer when he was
given his preliminary hearing before
Recorder Broyles Friday.
He prefaced his story with the
statement that he was a good boy.
There being no evidence to the con-
trary, he proceeded. On Monday night.
he said, he locked up the house-the
Samuels were absent-and started
home.
At the front gate, he said, he was
met by pair of desperate Kissing
ma ked bandits, who poked a gun in
his face and asked If he was not the
butler. Being assured that he was,
the bandits profanely ordered him to
open the house and conduct them to
the strong box, which he did the
bandits appropriating the jewels with
sundry gleeful chuckles. They then
pusher the boy into the yard, where
all bands became nervous at the bark
of dog.
Coffee said the bandits exclaimed,
My goodness" or words to that eff
feet dropped their botty and ran.
Coffee averred that he then, being
anxious for the safety of the jewels
took them home with him and buried
them. forgetting to say anything TO
Mr., Samuels about it.
Judge Broyles listened attentively
and then bound the boy over in the
sum of $1,000. which later was re-
duced to $500.

there are men who need work. The

Skilled workmen in the iron and

reason of the Democratic tariff law

ducts of cheap foreign labor, say it is
not rural vacation" they want, but
chance to stay with their families

How to Preserve Eggs by Using Wa
ter Glass

IN the last two or three years the
method of preserving eggs in water
glass has been often tested both in a
practical way and laboratories.
BY experiment a 10 per cent solution
of water glass preserved eggs so eff
fectually that at the end of fourteen
weeks the eggs appeared perfectly
fresh. In most packed eggs the yolk
after time settles to one side and the
egg is then inferior in quality. Again
most packed eggs will not beat up
well for cake making or frosting while
eggs from water glass solution will
give the same results as one freshly
laid
Water glass" is the popular name
for potassium silicate or for sodium
silicate the commercial article often
being a mixture of the two. Water
glass is commonly sold in two forms
a syrup thick liquid and powder. The
retail price varies altho 10 cents per
pound seems to be the price COM
monty asked.
A solution of the desired strength
for preserving eggs may be made
by dissolving one part of the syrup
liquid water glass in ten parts wat
er. Only pure water should be used
for an alkiline water will not pre-
serve eggs we'll 1t is best to boil
the water before mixing it with the
water glass
The solution should be carefully
poured over the eggs packed in
suitable vessel and stored in a cool
place. 80
Do not wash the eggs before pack
ing but select the cleanest eggs for
preserving
About one gallon of water glass
is estimated by the North Dakota Ex-
pertinent Station as being sufficient
for making a solution in which SO. doz-
en- egs may be packed

Even in contagious diseases more patients remain
at home than go TO the hospitals. To reach illness
in the home is therefore. one Of the city's great
problems since by thorough study of home con

serious ones from getting there II would also look
after convalescents. instruct mothers and either

outpatient department. II might in time he devel-

the source than almost exclusively for those
whom disease has already made public burden.

THE MURPHY TWINS
A Reader Gives His Notion OF the
Highway Tangle.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: Mr.. Osborne was wished on Gov
ernor Glynn by Murphys shadow IN
the Efficiency Department. rms Depart
ment was created at an expense OF S2oO-
600 a year to give the man who fought
the late Senator McCarren i'm Brooklyn
for Murphy a sl20OO-a-year job.
Highway Commissioner Carlisle was the
Murphy twin OF the Murphy efficiency
game. They are both off the same bolt
of political cloth.
Mr.. Osborne won't do much with high
way graft while these two Murphy tax
eaters are on the state payrolls. The
Tribune might just as well make up its
mind TO this fact now as later. What did
Murphy make Carlisle a highway com
missioner for? Mr.. Murphy is an altruist.
