New York, July 31.-For several
weeks a number of inmates Of the
Tombs prison have been observed in
dustriously chewing up their linen col
lars and munching their shirts One
prisoner. it was said, had eaten up
virtually all the collars he owned.
In reply to questions the prisoners
told the keepers that they had been
tobacco or gum chewers for years, and
that not having either they found par
ticular comfort in chewing their linen.
But the keepers were skpetical.
Today when fresh laundry arrived
it was subjected to a test. A chemist
found that the starch used in the linen
sent to the prisoners by relatives con-
tanned a solution of a drug taken by
habitual drug users.

sort of soup meat that to German tastes IS
fine eating, fresh from the pot, with horse

So you see it was possible to cook a pretty
good dinner for two days and have late
supper for little over dollar When this
couple went to the exposition they took along
a shoe-box full OF cold meat sandwiches, jar
OF salad, bottle Of cold coffee and few
slices OF cake. Mostly they left the grounds
when they became too hungry to be happy
and went home to cook and eat But when
he discovered the Young Womens Christian
Association cafeteria right within the exposi-
ton gates they were able to stay for the il
Elimination after enjoying a good, substantial
meal for about 80 cents apiece.
Do not sniff contemptuously at Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Opts. This estmable couple would
have preferred stopping at the best hotel,
with every luxury and taste of one months
extravaganza to Tighten the frugal years OF
their existence. But they had started with
only $500, and the round-trip tickets had taken
sISS6o and the side expenses SII9o more.
This left only s9eso, and they proposed TO
stay month. That they did it is to their
honor. The exposition is worth seeing 1t is
the mark of an epoch for the whole nation,
and not to see it when one can contrive some
how to do so is folly. The Opts contrived all

HOBOKEN AT THE FAIR-FIRST AID
FROM POLICEMAN.

His first step on entering San Francisco
was to check his hand baggage, pocket his
checks and, with the frau on his arm, go
trudging up the main street, which is Market.
When he got to Tenth Street, and still saw
only tall buildings, he accosted policeman
and asked where he might find neat, cheap
lodgings. He was directed, and by noon (hav-
ing come on the morning train) he had rent
ed furnished room of decent woman whose
husband worked as a night watchman. She
was glad to get so respectable couple to
make the house safe and sociable through the
nights, when noises and fears agitated her so
often. For SI2 Herr Opts rented large, clean
room, with the privileges of bath and the use
of a small ballroom, where a gas-plate was
installed and kitchenette devised. For gas
the two parties agreed to split the bill at the
end of the month. 1t must be confessed that
this was some scheme. OF course, Mrs. Opts
liked TO cook, and her husband was that sort
of man who helps wash and dry the dishes;
sometimes he even got up first and made the
breakfast Their daily living was ridiculously
cheap and remarkably good. During the
months OF March, April, May and June eggs

summated by Henry Opts, German, OF Hobo
ken, who had saved just 5000, which he pro-
posed to blow in on a trip to the exposition
with his wife. Account books are dull read

no useful purpose. The outline of the Teutons'

Next morning, having slept and fed and re-

that for himself and wife a suite without bath
would be SIS per week, without board, TO which

paying S5 for what he had consumed of that
