that there is no debit side and far too
few communities take the trouble to
investigate and discover what is paid
out OF their treasures to offset the Ii.
cense money paid in by the saloons
At the instigation Of Governor Brum-
baugh of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia
account with the liquor traffic ha6 been
carefully figured up and given to the
public. 1t shows that John Barleycorn
costs the city each year more than
$4,000, 600; that more than one-haf of
the expense of the police department
OF the great city is made necessary by
the liquor traffic; that the per cent of
expense of other departments of the
city government, due to alcohol is. sui
cides, rs per cent; home for the in
digent, 60 per cent; general hospital,
So per, cent; county prison, 80 per
cent; district attorneys office, so per.
cent; clerk of the quarter sessions, so
per cent; Juvenile court. so per cent.
+ Such figures certainly reflect upon
the common business sense of the man

view of the statement in the report.
that "the sum of 100000 is far in
excess Of the money paid into the
treasury for liquor licenses"
A similar problem in civic economy
should be presented to the voters Of
every city which tolerates the liquor
traffic.

WOMAN kILLED AND PERSONS
INJURED IN GOTHAM.
THIRD ACCIDENT WITHIN WEEK
Score Fall into Excavation Wher
Thoroushfare Gives Way--Three
Autos Take PIunse-car Halted
On Brink of Abyss.

New York, Sept 27.-With a roar
that brought terror to thousands in the
theatrical district, the west side OF
Broadway between Thirty-eighth and
Thirty-ninth streets, collapsed at night,
For more than 100 feet the thorough
fare dropped to the bottom of the new
subway excavation, 40 feet below, kill
ing one woman, seriously injuring at
least three others and imprisoning a
score more. This is the third serious
subway excavation accident in four
days.
The dead woman so far is unidentif
fed. She was removed from the debris
In dying condition and, taken to
Bellevue hospital where she died.
Charles Nelson, John Fowler and
Howard Cross were seriously injured,
Cross was pinioned between timbers
for almost two hours before being res
cued
Three Autos Take Plunge.
Two automobiles and a taxicab took
the plunge into the abyss. A thousand
persons, many in evening dress, bound
FOR the theaters and restaurants, were
on the sidewalks in the block at the
time A wild panic followed desperate
efforts to escape.
A south. hound street car reached
Thirty-ninth street just as the street
collapsed The front truck started
toward the bottom. With rare pres
ence of mind, the motorman, Malachi
Murphy, threw on the reverse cur
rent. The twenty passengers were
bOwled about like tenpins. But the
wheels chung fast, and their lives
were saved, the car hanging suspend
ed on the precipice.
All the west side of the street,
from crossing to crossing, from Thir-
ty-eighth to Thirty-ninth street, and
from the curb line to the south-bound
car track. dropped into the pit. To
add to the terror of the situation,
the falling street tore loose from their
moorings the three gas pipes which
join in the main at this point.
Because of the great danger from
gas all electric lights in the neigh
borhood were turned off and that por-
ton of brilliantly lighted Broadway
was in darkness. Commissioner Woods
even ordered the police to compel all
men in the vicinity to stop smoking.
A gigantic searchlight was summoned
from an engine house and the work of
rescue began. The oxygen squad pro-
tected by their helmets were the first
to enter, but could remain but a short
time at the bottom of the pit.
Soon a rope was lowered, and after
a temporary stretcher had been i'm
proyised the woman who later died
was hauled to the surface.

HOUSEHOLD
TALKS
Henrietta D. Grauel
For Emergencies

We housekeepers use great deal
of forethought and care in the canning
season, in selecting the fruits and veg
etables that will give us best results
later in the year. But we do not always
use the same good Judgment when
time comes to open our emergency
supplies.
Often canned goods are just dumped
intoia sauce pan and reheated, seasoned
any way, and sent to the table. This is
wrong. Canned stuffs need lots of coax
ing and fixing to make them really
palatable. but if this care is given they
respond and we get the credit of being
good cooks.
Canned foods need air. so after de-
Gliding what YOU will have for the next
meal open the cans and empty them into
bowls, or into the utensils they will be
cooked in later. Let them stand open
and they viii absorb the air they have
been denied and taste much fresher
than if they are opened the last mo-
ment before cooking.
But be sure YOU empty them or pto-
maine poisoning will result. Any food
left standing in tins will germinate
this poison. Carelessness in this re-
gard is terribly dangerous. Empty ev-
ery can the moment you open it, is
the only safe rule.
On the shelf of canned goods we
should include some speeialties that
are factory made for, say what you
will. the fact remains we still depend
on commercial Gamers for many canned
dainties. And when company comes un-
expectedly, instead of being fearfully
embarrassed, we turn with splendid as.
surance to the emergency line.
There should be tomato bouillon,
spaghetti in tomato, a box of assorted
bouillon cubes, asparagus, salmon, tuny,
cove oysters, small peas and dates in
tins There should be tin of biscuits
and one of waters, evaporated milk.

She wrote him when her son Alaric

to college. Alaric seemed to absorb
most of her interest. He was evident
ly her favorite child. She wrote more
seldom of her daughter. Ethel. and

little ingenuity, will l'enable you to meet
any surprise party as coolly as though
YOU had been forewarned
To have these articles on the en-
ergency shelf is not as expensive as
it sounds. If company does not come
YOU still have them and if you know
how to save what is left, entertaining
need not be extravagant. Take the
matter of condiments for instance, one
uses very little of these and they can
be resealed. The same applies to
pickles. nuts, figs and dates.
Mushrooms. truffies and pimentos
too can be emptied as soon as their
containers are opened and what remains
after garnishing the salad or making
an entree can be placed in glass con-
tainers and covered with salad oil or
olive oil and refastened. After this
they must be kept cool.

wondered if she were like his poor
dead sister. The wish to see the child
became an obsession with him.
One morning, after'a restless. fever
ish night. he sent for his lawyer and
told him to at once institute Inquiries
find out If the child was still living
and il so where.
O'Connell in New York through
friend of his in the Irish party and
found that the child was living with
him in rather poor circumstances. He
communicated the result of his inqui-
ries to Kingsnorth. That day letter
was sent to O'Connell asking him to
allow his child to visit her dying un-
Gle. O'Connell was to cable at Kings
north's expense, and if he would con-
sent the money for the expenses of
the journey would be cabled immedi-
ately. The girl was to start at once,
as Mr.. kingsnorth had very little
longer to live.
When the letter had gone Kingsnorth
drew breath of relief. He longed to
see the child. He would have to wait
impatiently for the reply Perhaps the
man whom he had hated all his life
would refuse his request. If he did
we'll, he would make some provision in
his will for her in memory of his dead
sister.
The next day he altered his entire
will and made Margaret O'Connell a
special legacy. Ten days later cable
came:
consent to my daughters visiting you

The lawyer cabled at once, making
all arrangements through their bankers
in New York for Miss O'Connell's jour-
ney.

being disturbed. He awoke refreshed

The one bitter hatred of his life had
been against the man who had taken
his sister in marriage and in so doing
had killed all possibility of Ilingsnorth

He took no interest in the news.
