THE EMDEN CAUGHT AT LAST.

No admirer of the audacous, the daring or the
intrepid in will read without feelings of regret
of the destruction of the little German cruiser Emden
which reported to have taken place in the Bay of
Bengal She driven ashore on one of the Cocos
islands and burned.
This mite of warship was veritable terror Of
the seas not only to merchantmen but to battleshps
and cruisers of other nations The saucy sprite would
dart in like fash, destroy the enemy's property and
scoot away with another fash-ke movement.
Twenty-Five ships proved victims Of the activities
of the Emden and her dashing crew
She little. but wonderful carried but ten guns
of 4.1-inch calibre. But she there with the
speed. Her ability to travel at 246 knots gait rem
dered the Emden safe from capture by merchantmen
and as for huge battleshps they couldn't come within
shooting distance of this marvellous craft
But the plans laid to enmesh this destroyer, and
the plans and the attempts were many. finally sue
ceeded She was unable to elude the Australian
cruiser Sydney, and the Emden is longer to be
feared.

HANDICAPPED BY LACK OF INSPECTORS.

The organization and equipment of the Public
Health Department New Jersey do not all the

the cattle disease In this State As both New York

days the closeness Of the disease to this State war
ranted the utmost vigilance to exclude cattle well

these States.
An outbreak Of the foot and mouth disease usually
It's beginning with COW, and soon after
ward other cases are developed to make epidemic.
The importation of steer, or the coming
into the State of cattle shipment of hides
or load of infected straw start an epidemic to
sweep away of the herds OF the State and create
deplorable food conditions.
The Legislature has yet voted an adequate
appropriation for the various activities of the State
Department OF Health which is really the most i'm
portant department of the State government. This
department has to do with water supply, sewerage
regulation sanitation milk inspection the enforce
ment OF the pure food and drug laws animal inspec

The nspectoria force of the department Is not suf

any one direction. And unless the department has

NEW NEWS OF YESTERDAY
An Epigrammati c Railroad Magnate

! After the close of business hours Of
midsummer day two or three men
who are all of national reputation be-
cause of their association with promi-
nent Industrial or financial activity In
the United States met In the office of
one OF the great industrial and flnan-
cial leaders of his generation. They
came, as II was their custom to do
occasionally, to chat in an informal
way, about men, public affairs, the
business situation, and kindred topics.
They were all fond of anecdotal mar
ration, especially If the stories served
to furnish sidelight on the character
or personality of someone who was
prominently in the public eye. These
informal symposiums, so they called
them, were never marred by unkindly
comment or anything which would
suggest that this or that man who
had achieved greatly was the object
of envy or jealousy. The traits that
were good and worthy of recognition
were discussed, and nothing else.
On the afternoon referred to at the
beginning of this anecdote the con-
versation centred upon James j. HILL
The extraordinary mental activity OF
Mr.. Hill, his breadth of view and q
quality of business craftsmanship
which characterized him were re-
ferred to.
One of the men said: mfr. Hill
differs from almost all those who
are in the same rank with him in
one respect-he Is fluent taller. He
Is not silent man. He makes pub
lie addresses and seems to get en-
ioyment when thus brought face to
face with an audience, probably be-
cause he feels that his audience is
in thorough sympathy with him. AL
most all of the big men with whom
Mr.. Hill has been associated in one
way or another are either from
choice or from necessity supposed
to be silent men,"
Another of those who were Of this
party and who knew Mr.. Hill well
enough to call him by his first name
said: while Mr.. Hill has I'M
doubtedly an unusual gift Of fluent
and interesting conversation, he can
be as silent as sphinx, or he is
capable of COMPRISING into SEN
tence of few words all that is
necessary to say of q man or a
situation. I will illustrate that with

once travelled with q young man
who had a marvellous alchemy in his
nature which turned the most dis
agreeable experiences into gold. He
could find enjoyment in the most or

There is everything in acquiring the

Mrs. Porter's small heroine! Once
she received pair Of crutches from
the missionary box when she longed
for a doll, but her cheerful nature

fact that she did not need them!

mental alchemy which makes even
poverty seem attractive, which sees
the ludicrous side of misfortunei

of soul to keep their faces turned to

BIRTHDAY OF NOTED WOMEN
BY MARY MARSHALL.
NoVEM Der 10
Harriet Mellon
Copyrighted 1914.

The life-story of the famous actress
Harriet Mellon we'll bears out the
theory that in order to gain pre-
eminence as an actress one must be-
gin training In childhood. Harriet
mother was an Irish woman, who
earned her living as a wardrobe keep
or and dresser in a successful tray-
cling company of Irish actors. Some
times the capable. but uneducated,
woman would act in the capacity as
ticket seller and money taker. So
from her earliest days Harriet grew
up in an atmosphere of the stage
AS to Harriot's father, he deserted
Harriot's mother shortly after the
child's birth. He had posed as an
Irish lieutenant, but there is reason
to believe that he was a person of
very high rank In English aristocracy.
When Harriet was still very little
girl she appeared as one of the
Juvenile mourners around the bier of
Juliet, in Romeo and Juliet" Her
first chance to show her ability as q
child actor was when she played the
role Of Pickle In THE Spoiled Child
This performance was given in a
barn In the country.
The years of Harriot's childhood
were spent in the best kind of train
ing for the stage. She became one
OF the juvenile actresses of her
