Thank The Gate City.

The ladies dispersed at late hour,
after giving The Gate City vote of
thanks for bringing Miss Peet to Keo-
kuk, and personally thanking her, and
expressing in many pleasing ways
their appreciation of the help she has
rendered every day of this most sue
cessful school.
They gathered close about her gas
stove and had occasional peeps into
her deep fat kettle, and saw just how
she fries SO as to produce that hither-
to unknown quantity, wholesome fried
foods. She explained all about how
to obtain this successful result, just
how much depends upon the quality
Of the frying fat, how much on the
temperature, and many other points
which are seemingly small but which
Miss Peet insists are very important.
Is a Big Movement.
She has taught the women who have
attended her classes this week that
every detail of good cooking is impor-
tant, and that good housekeeping
calls for the best in women and leads
them into close relations with the big
movements OF the day. Miss Peet is
convinced that there is no bigger
movement than the better foods, bet
ter homes one, and she knows how to
present 1t in such manner, as to
make every woman In her class real
lie it's greatness and its far reaching
effects.
Many invitations have been extend
ed to this popular lecturer and cook

Appeal fir Funds Is
Made by Trustees of
st. Barnabas's Hospital

\ public appeal for funds for St
Barnabas's Hospital, has been sent
out by the hospital board of trustees,
of which Bishop Edwin s. Lines Is
president. The appeal is signed by
the bishop. The increased needs Of
the hospital are told Of in the appeal
1t is stated that the addition OF a
story to the nurses homeh as been
made possible through the will Of
Mrs Hannibal Goodwin.
During the year 1896 patients were
treated at the hospital, and the
majority Of these were free patients
The number Of outside clinic patients
during the year was 1926.
The sick and injured have. been
treated without regard to race or re-
ligion. The special conditions of the
present time give the officers of the
hospital great anxiety as to how Its
support may be obtained. The growth
of the city, great centre of industry,
makes the number of homeless men
and women larger and increases the
number of accidents. For nearly half
q century st. Barnabas's has stood
in Newark as a free hospital, minis
tering TO those in need in the city and
county, and quite beyond that 1.-THE
appeal" says the board, could never
go out for its support more fittingly
than at this time, because OF its rec
ord and the character and spirit of its
work" The boards treasurer is
Thomas W. jackson, 1O7 Hamilton
street.

BY POLICE BOARD

Make Future Appointees
Qualify as chauffeurs.

The Board of Police Commissioners
placed twenty-one men on the meri-
torious list at its meeting yesterday
on recommendation of Chief OF
Police Michael T. Long. It was de-
cided to ask the Civil Service Com
mission to require that men apply
ing for appointment to the force

cases 1t has been necessary TO
have chauffeurs OF the patrol at
the various precincts called out N

Torrance of his duty, the board
thought

schools and hospitals, warning auto
mobilists to go slow and to refrain
from using horns. The board voted

ment to secure the driver as a wit
ness. Patrolman George Feldman, of

There was an ironic smile on the

The curtains were thrown back sud

Braine was the only man who kept
his head He foored Norton, smashed
a window, and leaped out. The bow
dazed Norton, but he was on his feet
almost instantly and followed Braine
through the window. Across the lawn
the two sped, with an exchange of
shots which emptied both automatics,
but did no damage. Braine headed
for his auto. He jumped in, only to
be hauled out again by the furious
reporter. A hand-to-hand fight fol-
lowed, and the clean life of the re-
porter told.
There, my angelic friend, believe
that the game is up. There is one
shot left in this automatic. If you
make any attempt to escape III let
you have it: not to kill, but to dis
able. You and your precious countess
will sail tomorrow morning for the
Baltic, and from there you will go to
the lead mines" He dragged his
prisoner toward the house.
Your troubles are over, my child,
said Hargreave, as he pressed Flor
ence to his heart.
And mine have begun" murmured
the countess. But l have still one
shot"
The police stood encircling her.
Calmly she opened her handbag and
took out her handkerchief. 1t was a
thick and heavy silk one. swiftly she
unscrewed the top of her walking
stick ct will be seen now that the
carrying of it was not an .affectation),
extracted a vial and then fell violently
to the floor. An overpoWering sweet
odor filled the room. Jones, knowing
how deeply Versed Bralne was in
oriental poisons and narcotics, made q
desperate but futile effort TO tear
down q curtain to throw over the
LIQUID; but even in the effort he felt
his senses going. The last he was
conscious of was a hooking laugh.
But the entrance of Jim, dragging
Braine after him. shocked all the
banter out of the countess. She
turned and rushed madly for
the stairs, without having the
least idea how she was to
manage to escape from the
upper stories. She had thought
Braine free. As she flew UP the
steps all the past returned, all her
warnings to that stubborn man.
This was the end Russia!
The horrors of the cold and the
deadly damp of the mines
forever!
Jim, still holding the battered con-
spirator, watched her flight II
anazement. He could not under
! stand--till he pushed Braine into the
| library and the vanishing odor as
sailed his nostrils. What these
fumes were he was never TO know
but they proved to be transitory
Five minutes sufficed to bring al
back to their senses. For the while
they forgot Olga.
This man is mine" said Servan
nodding toward Braine.
Hes yours without charge said
Jim.

AWARD $500 FOR
DEATH OF A MAN IN
BRIDGE ACCIDENT
Jurors Give Verdict for New
Workers. Estate Against
MiddIesex,

The damage suit against the
Board of Freeholders of Middlesex
county, brought by the estate of Sol
ONION r. Jacobs, of New York city.
resulted in a verdict of $500 against
the freeholders. The verdict was re-
turned shortly before midnight last
night by a jury in the Newark
branch of the United States District
Court.
The suit resulted from an automo-
bile accident at the bridge spanning
Ambrose brook, at Bound Brook, on
November >, 1912. Jacobs was riding
in machine with Mrs. Jeanette Neil,
of Whitehouse, when the machine
crashed through the bridge and ia
cobs was killed. Mrs. Neil escaped
with a few minor injuries. The ma
chine turned turtle as it fell into the
stream, and Jacobs was pinned pe-
neatn the wreck.
The trial of the suit occupied
three days. Most of the session yes
terday afternoon was taken up with
the expert testimony OF Arthur Il.
Smith, of Plainfield, an engineer and
contractor. Mr.. Smith produced q
model of the bridge at which the
accident occurred. The model was
five feet long and a foot and a half
wide. The details Of the bridge con-
struction were explained by the wit
ness, who testified that the bridge
was of approved design at the time it
was built in 1903.
Mr.. Smith declared the bridge Of
fered ample protection for ordinary
traffic and that an investigation
showed him the accident was not due
to any defect in the construction of
the bridge. AT the close of the tes-
timony, Freeman Woodbridge, coun-
sci for the freeholders, renewed his
motion for a nonsuit in favor of the
freeholders. This motion was denied
by Judge Thomas G. Haight for the
second time yesterday.

ant counsel commended that the acci-
dent was the result of the dilapidated
condition { the bridge. He held that
the freeholders were responsible for
this condition because they should
have kept the bridge in repair. Mr..
Woodbridge told the jury that the
bridge was in good condition and
that the accident was due to care
less driving on the part of Mrs. Neil,
who was driving the automobile at
the time Jacobs was killed. Judge
Haight finished his charge to the
jury shortly before O'Clock last
night. and the verdict was returned
