violinist Plays tIusic by
Mozart and Lalo.

Francis McMiilen, vioinist, gave a
recital last evening In Town Hall. 1t
was officially named his first recital in
this city in five years. He has been
heard. however. In orchestral concerts.
He began the feast by serving a half
portion of Mozart. 1t was garnished
with sauce plquante OF notes acidu-
lated In quality and acute In pitch. as
we'll as of bowling spasmodic and la

performance.
The second number was Lalo's ia
miliar Symphonic Espagnole." which
many will remember was dedicated to
sarasate and first performed by him.
It Is music for n hidalgo. and Sarasate
was the true Spanish grandee of the
violin. Mr.. McMiilen successfully eff
faced all memories of Sarasate. The
grandee was supplanted by the toreador.
1t was a very vigorous performance.
It served at least to recall the remark
of a dsgruntled concertmaster after
last seasons outpour of violin vlrtuosi.
"It Is no longer difficult" he said, ito
play the voln" II hts concertmaster
had seen Mr. McMillen playing the Lalo

declaration and admitted that It was

Missouri Gold Mine.
Goldie, Lame Cow, Earns $267 q Year
Over Her Food.

Weekly NesDs Letter Of the Department Of
Agriculture.
Before q certain Missouri farmer
Joined the COW testing association, report
specialists OF the United States Depart
nlent of Agriculture. he owned a good
herd In which was an old crippled cow
named Goldie. At that very time the
owner was trying to cell her for SIS.
To his surprise the Babcock test not only
placed poor, old. crippled Goldie at the
head of the herd but at the head OF the
whole association.
Her yearly production. as shown by
the records. was $500 pounds of milk and
526 pounds of butter fat, and her yearly
earning over cost Of feed was $267.
Goldie belonged to herd whose average
yearly butter fat production was $50
pounds, yet She was almost 80 per cent.
above the average of the herd and more
than 200 per cent. superior to the aver
age dairy COW OF this country.
Among the cows on test in the 46s
COW testing associations are many like
Goldie. The true production records fur
nished by COW testing associations have
prevented the sale of large number of
unassuming but fairly high producing
cows.

An Old Kansas Bet Settled.
From tho clan Ceuter TYplc,

When they started to tear down the

was settled. A great many years ago. when
the church building was new and tho steepic
just built. one day Colonel c. e. clifford.
Sam Langworthy and number of other
men walked into Tom Gowenlock's drug
store and called for cigars. After they had
all lighted UP and started out Gowenlock
asked who was paying for the smokes. "It's
a bet" was the reply. "Sam Langworthy
has bet Colonel Clifford that when the Meth
odist Church steeplc falls down It will fall
10 the north. Colonel clifford bets that II
will fail to the south. Whoever loses pays
for the cigars just as soon as the bet Is

lngersoll as a Lawyer.
He Took Part In Many Important
Cases and Was Successful.

To THE New York HERALD: Recent
comments on the late Colonel Robert g.
Ingersoll as a lawyer recall the fact
that Francis L. Wellman in his book
THE Art Of Cross Examination" at
tempts to belittle Ingersolrs skill as a
lawyer, although he gives him full
credit as a great orator.
AS newspaper man I have often
heard both Ingersoll and Wellman In
the trial Of causes; and while I concede
to Wellman great skill as a cross ex-
aminer never could see where he sur
passed Ingersoll In that capacity. and
of course he could not approach him as
a pleader before a jury.
1t is futile to assert that Ingersoll
was not great lawyer. He faced at
the bar many notable lawyers OF his
time. In New York Choate, Root,
Tracy, Brownell and Noah Davis were
his opponents. Among his legal tri-
umphs in New York I recall the ac-
quittal Of Kerr, treasurer Of the Broad
way railroad, during the regime of
Jacob Sharp; the acquittal of John c.
Emo in connection with financial difficult
ties with an uptown bank; the suit OF
John w. Mackay against Edward s.
Stokes.
Then there was the Davis will case In
Montana, In which Ingersoll broke the
will Of Andrew J. Davis. a copper king.
and received fee of 100000 In fact.
Ingersoll was in demand all over the
country as trial lawyer. He was also
counsel to large railroad and telegraph
interests. He frequently argued cases
in the United States Supreme Court and
before courts Of appeal in various
States.
In summing UP to juries Ingersoll's
speeches were q blend Of law, philoso-
ply and classical knowledge to greater
extent than the summings up Of the
average famous lawyer, but he never
lost sight Of the main point His fame
as a lawyer will live but his fame as an
orator will be greater because the null
titude heard him and saw him. His
original epigrams and surprising elo-
quence have in a way obscured his
greatness as a lawyer. REPORTER.

Elsie, Trophy Defender.

When Captain MARTY WEIGH put
the Gloucester fishing schooner Elsie
over the line off Cape Ann on Thurs
day ahead Of four other contestants
in the elimination race for the honor
of defending the International Fish
ermen's Trophy he did something
more than win q race. He upheld the
best sporting spirit of our country
and the purpose of Mr.. DENNIS of
the Halifax Herald. who gave the
trophy to encourage the international
contests to develop the most prac-
tical and serviceable type Of fishing
schooner combined with the best
sailing qualities without sacrificing
utility"
The yachtllke fishing schooner the
Mayflower was properly excluded
from the races by the trustees
Of the trophy. The result of this
was that in the elimination test only
fishing schooners with established
records as practical sea keeping and
commercial vessels were entered to
sail over the forty mile course. Cap
tain MARTY WELcH's win was no
walkover. He had to watch the stern
of the Arthur James for the first FIVE
miles. After that Elsie's skipper,
who is the Charley Barr of the fish,
ing feet, put the Elsie in front and
won by comfortable margin.
Elsie will defend the trophy In
series of races beginning on October
% OF Halifax, Nova Scotia. The Ca
madam schooners will sail their elm
ination race to-day with two assured
contenders, Bluenose and Canada,
and possibly the Delawana, the craft
that Captain WEIGH defeated with
Esperanto last November. Espe-
ranto was lost at sea last summer
and her crew was rescued by Captain
WEIGH.

No Pink Pumpkin Pie!

Pumpkin pie has already appeared
upon the menus Of New York restau-
rants. Many Of the pies, however,
have faint pink tinge, which is ad-
mirable in shrimp soup or a fancy
ice but which has no business in a
pumpkin pie. Other pies, pretend
ing to be pumpkin, have a pale vel.
low appearance as II they had sprung
from base of summer squash.
For the benefit of any French chef
who has never been in New England
or in that vast belt stretching into
the West which has been blessed
with the traditions of Down East
cooking let us say that the only
genuine color of pumpkin pie is
brown. No other color will do. No
other tastes right. If a cook does
not know how to take a pumpkin and
dry 1t properly and then soak 1t and
spice it and mix It with the proper
number of eggs and the proper quan.
tity of milk and spices he would do
well to hesitate before trying to
make pumpkin pie. That job is not
for one who has frittered away his
life in Paris hotel. 1t is for the
cook who has lived Down East.
Better that all the pumpkins
should be used for small boys Ian.
terms than that they should be
spoiled by chefs who think pink
pie is pretty!

A Photographic Fraud.
Facts About q Picture Of Dicing In
Front Of Grace Chapel

To THE New YORK HERALD: On Tues
day. October IL, the superintendent OF
Grace Chapel buildings was leaving the
Fourteenth street side Of the chapel
plant-which runs through the block
just east of First avenue from Four
teenth to Thirteenth street-when he no.
ticed a man with a Photographic cam
era call some little boys from their play
on the sidewalk and after himself put
ting into their hands some dice tell
them to shoot craps in front Of the Grace
Chapel gate. The photographer then
proceeded to take picture OF the young
gamesters at such an angle that the sign
bearing the name of the church and the
list OF its services would appear above
the boys heads.
When questioned by the chapel em-
ployee what his purpose might be in this
procedure the photographer said he was
making q picture for certain New
York newspaper. which he named.
Asked further whether he thought 1t fair
thus to supply the boys with dice and
set them to shooting craps when they
had previously no thought OF engaging
In such a game. besides posing them In
front of the church gate. the visitor
sAked In turn why the church "closed
its entrance to the children" When the
superintendent explained that the Thir-
teenth street entrance to club rooms,
kindergartens. gymnasium. swimming
pool and other facilities Of the big set
tlement house was open all day and
evening. week by week. although the
Fourteenth street gate was sometimes
closed for protection, as recommended by
the Police Department. the newspaper
man appeared to see the situation in a
new light.
At the same time the enterprising
gatherer of pictorial sensation would not
promise to omit so dramatic scene as
his lens had caught. and 1t will not
greatly surprise the parishioners of
Grace Church and Chapel who read Of
this episode to behold the distressing
evidence Of callous indifference Of great
metropolitan parish as revealed by an
indisputably correct photograph OF neg
lected little lads driven to shoot craps by
the cruelty forbidding gate Of ITS chapel.
~ ELIOT WHITE,
Pastor of Grace Chapel.
