WATERWORKS

PURCHASED A The Water Works Company Spends $15,000 to Supply Additional Water for City of Richmond. (Continued from Page One) says that factories shall use a smoke consumer. Mayor Zimmerman said that no smoke consumer was a success and made the motion that the ordi nance be enforced when a smoke consumer be found which consumes all smoke and does away with soot. Fire Chief Miller said that the main complaints had been from the factories of Rumely &, company, American Seeding Machine company and Hutton's Coffin factory. "These factories have a suction system which burns all the by-products combustible and it is from this that the smoke comes" said Miller. "These products are being burned two-thirds of the time, and no smoke consumer ever made could help the present conditions as long as the company continues to burn off falls." Up to Baetz. Provided Joe Baetz signs an affidavit accusing Fireman Jerry Miller of theft, Miller will be arraigned in police court tomorrow morning. Baetz told the board of works last Thursday that Miller had stolen a pair of tinners snips. Miller says the accusation is the result of spite work and that Baetz is taking an advantage of him. Fire Chief Ed. Miller said that Miller had always been a good fireman and had attended to his duties honorably. The Terre Haute, Indianapolis & Eastern Traction company will be notified that the conditions of the part of the Doran bridge for which it is responsible is unsafe and that the company make repairs. FAVORED BY BOARD. That the paving of North Sixth from the railroad to the plant of M. Rumely and company should be done as soon as possible was the decision of the board of works when that body went to investigate the street this noon. "All the bricks are worn down and the traffic is now going on over the foundation of the street" said City Engineer Charles. "The longer we put the matter oft the greater the expense will be to the city and to the Rumely company which has agreed to pay all expenses over $1500. President B. A. Kennepohl of the board of works said "The amount of taxes which the company has to pay for only one square is very large and we should give them all the assistance we possibly can to get the street paved. Though we realize that the street does not accommodate more than this one company and as it is for their convenience we will take favorable action on the matter at our next meeting. Many persons think the company should pay all the expense but we will do the square thing by them. HOW TO MARK LINEN. Suggestions For Putting on Lettering 80 It Will Be Lasting. Napkins, tablecloths, sheets, pillowcases and table mats are frequently marked with an insert of lace, with the lettering done on that rather than worked solidly on the material itself. This method is stylish and effective, Its one drawback being rather poor wearing qualities. Bits of net or canvas the required size are lettered, then basted carefully on the linen, tbe edge closely buttonholed in a narrow straight seam and the material cut away beneath. Leave an edge to turn back and be hemmed to the linen on the wrong side for greater firmness. Various lettering Is used on these Inserts. If fillet net is chosen the letters are done in tbe regular fillet Btitches. of cross stitch and darning Sometimes heavier canvas is used and tbe letters cross stitched in all white or ln two or three tones of one color. An effective lettering is to have heav ily padded satin stitch initials on a firm net or a. small designed or dotted all over lace. This novelty is more suited to centerpieces and bureau covers than to handsome bed or table linens, which last a long time and should be treated conservatively. Never use flimsy net for a back ground and make sure it is tightly stitched to prevent pulling or fraying in laundering. HOW TO COOK CABBAGE. This Method Will Do Afeay With .he Rank Flavor. If cabbage Is properly cooked it will be free from rank flavor. After quartering and slicing the head, rejecting, of course, the outside leaves and heart, cook for ten minutes in salted water. Then pour off the water, pot the vege table in a sieve and set It under the cold water faucet. The sieve should be fret In a big earthen bowl, and as the water fills up the bowl it should De pourea on ana rresa water run over the vegetable again, so that every part of It Is thoroughly freshened. When well rinsed lift up the sieve, drain the cabbage and cut It Into small pieces. Put it on the fire again in an enamel lined pot, cover with milk and let it cook slowly for three-quarters of an hour. Season with salt and pep per while cooking. About ten minutes before serving mix some soft butter and floor to a paste enough to thick en the milk so that It forms a nice irhlte sauce around it very young cabbage, straight from tbe garden, dees not require such care-

An Umpire's American League Team

Catcher Stanage Detroit Pitcher Johnson Washington Shortstop Wagner Boston First Base Mclnnis Athletics Second Base Collins Athletics Third Base Baker Athletics Right Field Cob Detroit Left Field Jackson Cleveland Utility Infidr. Barry Athletics Util. Outftdr. Milan Washington

BY WILLIAM EVANS (In Collier's Weekly.) Not caring to parade my opinion alone on an all-star team, I called : on the judgment of the nine other men who make up the American League Btaff of umpires. On five of the positions of the mythical All-American team there was a unanimity of opinion. On four positions first base, second base, catch er, and shortstop the judges of play differed to a certain extent. Three arbitrators looked on Oscar Stanage of the Detroit club as the best receiver, while Edward Sweeney, John Henry and Bill Carrigan had two um-j pires each who espoused their cause. First-base honors were divided between Johnny Mclnnis of the Athletics and Hal Chase of the Highlanders. Five of the arbitrators leaned toward Mclnnis, while four favored the peerless Chase. Shortstop honors found "Heinie" Wagner of the Red Sox, Jack Barry of the Athletics, George McBride of Washington, and Bobby Wallace of the lowly St. Louis Browns with their champions. Four liked Wagner best, three regarded Jack Barry as the leader, while two favored McBride and Wallace. Third base also had its champions. Five of the umpires could see no one but "Home Run" Baker, while Larry Gardner and Eddie Foster had two each on their side. On the position of pitcher, second base, and the outfield, all the umpires agreed on the same men. When Connie Mack offers an opinion on any subject pertaining to baseball, you may rest assured it is worth while. Anxious to know what shortstop Connie looked upon with most favor, I asked him to whom he thought the 1912 honors belonged. "The American League is rich in shortstops," said Connie. "Barry, Wallace, McBride, Bush, and Wagner are brilliant performers in the veteran class, while Weaver, Chapman and McMillan appear to be youngsters of much promise. To Wagner, however, belong the laurels of the present season. His work at shortstop has been simply phenomenal. No one has been a more prominent factor in the success of the Boston club than he." Great catchers are a wonderful as set to any ball team. In baseball it 1 is often related that no club ever won a pennant unless it was rich jn

catching material. A research of the Princeton ana uartmoutn, ai rrancerecords will bear out this statement ; ton. ! Pennsylvania and Lafayette, at

work of those two great young catchers, Henry and Ainsmits, ably assisted by Williams, was a great aid to Clarke Griffith at Washington. Jake Stahl will tell you that Carrigan, Ca-! dy. Nunamaker and Thomas were of great aid to his club in the fight for the pennant. Oscar Stanage, who was favored by a majority for the stellar honors among the backstops, is an meai catcher. Endowed with a splendid i physique, he is an excellent mark for the pitchers to shoot at. It is surprising what part this plays in a pitcher's control. His judgment of batters would be hard to improve upon. He has a grand throwing arm and is a very fair hitter. His only fault is a sloWhess of foot. Of the star pitchers, Walter John son is the master twirler. I have never yet heard anyone closely con nected with baseball deny the won derful prowess of the Washington speed merchant. He has terrific speed, a good curve, and a nice slow ball. Hiiey Jenning's comment on John son, in relation to tne great Amos Rusie, is of interest. "Most of the old-timers will tell you that no one was ever as fast as Rusie, but I will take issue with my former comrades on the field. I believe Walter Johnson is the speediest pitcher that has ever stepped on the rubber. I have batted against Rusie when he was in his prime, but Amos never showed me such stuff as I have seen Johnson dish up to my players. You must remember that Rusie pitched from a distance considerably closer to the plate than Johnson, which of course made him look faster." Johnny Mclnnis of the Athletics is a wonder. No one but Connie Mack would have tried to make a first base-

We Guarantee a

man out of a player so short of statue. He was kidded and joshed about his intentions when he made the announcement. Today Mclnnis stands out as one of the best first Backers

in , the business. He is without a weakness. There are a number of clever second basemen in the American League, but of them, Eddie Collins is the class. Collins can cover a world of ground, i Is a good hitter, and fast on his feet.

So the People May Know

(From Denver Post of Oct. 15.) You cannot read the speech that Theodore Roosevelt mad " last night in Milwaukee, after he had been shot. ; without a lump rising in your throat !and a surging of blood through your ibody that leaves you flushed and ani gry and proud In Its sweep of high emI .At Anenr that tha thtnar rmild havff happened here to one of our soldiers of the common good in the midst of his most valiant fight. Angry at that and ashamed for it, too. And proud with a great pride that this son of America, "with the blood soaking through his clothes," could have sent that valiant call of his to cneer the llBtenlng crowi ani tell tnm tnat ne na(i "iTei well" and could face the t of dath joy. fullyi becau8e n would leaTe to men th memory of a ufe tnat had ful, to overflowing. j There are otner mn who feulk big ,,n the eyf of the ,e today Tbere ; aw d men and Mnd m?n, and wijMS men, and men who can speak as prettily about this, small thins: and that. But, alone of them all, Theodore1 Roosevelt has this way of rising to his great occasions greatly and standing before us stark and big, with the light of a great soul flooding about him and a world that pays attention to his words. Hear again the valiant farewell that rose from him last night in Milwau kee as he stood, "with the blood soak,ing tnrough his ci0thes, and taught those men and women another lessom in supreme courage. : "I want you to understand," he said, and his face was white with pain as hft ..f tn lltlHrctT.H that T am ahead of tne game anyway ,1 have been able to do certain things , that T graUy wlBhed to do and i am ; IntereBted ln dolng othr things. And I can tell you with absolute truthfulness that I am very much uninterested In whether I am shot or not. What I do care for is my country." With that, and his head high, he said little more, for the strength was not in him o speak at length; but it! was like Roosevelt that wounded though he might be the spirit flamed i in him still to tell them the thing that was nearest his heart and rally them about him ln the fight where his banners were still flung to the breeze. For Roosevelt has always been a fighter; he has always faced his adver-

saries square and unflinching; he has selves never' bathe. The beds are never turned his back on a friend on heaps of filthy rags and the floor is an enemy; and he looks upon himself covered with a ragged carpet which as a man dedicated to the service of is saturated with filth." his country who has counted the chan-1 We wrote Dr. Dicer that he probces of that service as the kind of good t ably had to deal with feeble minded

He was "ahead of the force the law for they will simply take game" when he walked out of the , their punishment in jail and then reWhite House and left Taft to carry on turn to their old habits. It will be the fight that Taft was so incapable ; found finally that it is necessary to of waging. He was "ahead of the j place them under restraint. We do game" when they robbed him of the net know the conditions surrounding

nomination at Chicago, and he and his men went forth to form another party. : He was "ahead of the game" when a coward shot him in Milwaukee last night and he went to the meeting to say what might have been -a long farewell, with the blood of the wound "soaking through his clothes." And he will be "ahead of the game" when the inevitable call comes for him, as it must come for all of us, because there Is in Roosevelt the stuff that saints and heroes are made of, and no man who rallies to his standard need take shame for the leader he follows. Think what you like of his policies; choose whatever leader is best suited to your temper; but never for a moment allow yourself to underestimate the hold on the people of this country of the man who could talk as Theodore Roosevelt talked last night while the wound of the bullet gnawed at his flesh and blood "soaked through his "clothes" so that they who listened to him could see its stains. It may be that Roosevelt will be placed again in the White House to finish the work upon which he has set his heart. It may be that the fugitive bullet of this coward of Milwaukee will prove more serious than any of us will allow ourselves to think. What tomorrow has lurking for the least or the greatest of us not any of us can tell. But every man who casts his vote for Roosevelt in November will be doing a thing of which he may well be proud to his last day and leave it as a badge and boast of honor to the chil-

dren that shall follow him in life. Even as he lies stricken In a hospi

tal In Chicago today will men and women love him and pray for his quick recovery; and. as he stood last night in Milwaukee with "th blood soaking through his clothes," so must he stand long in our vision and our memory, as a man of simple, unbroken courage, who, with death confronting him. thinks chiefly of "his country" and thanks God that his days have not been empty, but full of many things, and that with the shadow of the close of life at his feet he can go forward unflinching and with a joyful heart because he is still "ahead of the game." In that high spirit has he lived and ! through and by it may God spare him to live and serve his country yet for many fearless years. A FILTHY FAMILY BY DR. J. H. HURTY. A CERTAIN FARMER: Dr. Dicer. of Albion. Noble County, gives an interesting account of ah farm house. He says: nnRanitJtrv I know a J J I beyond description. They keep tbe milk and swill pails on a back porch with no covers on them, and are raising about 150 chickens in the house yard. These animals stay around the milk and swill pails and eat out of both, spilling their contents on the . floor of the porch and on the side of the house until it is coated and filthy ' beyond description. Flies exist by the millions. The outhouses are sorry affair Th ni xisn nvoinn thm in ; quantities. These people sell "country ' butter" but none of it comes to my i house, and the question Is where j does it go? Surely here is a chance to spread disease and the conditions are quite contrary to law which says: "It shall be unlawful for any person, firm, company or corporation to maintain any conditions whatever which may generate, transmit or promote disease." I forgot to say these people strain the flies out of the sour cream before they churn it to produce "their country butter." All instructions and urging of these people to maintain sanitary conditions are without avail. The interior of their house is simply aw(ul, It is never clean and the people them- ; people for certainly persons even approaching the normal would not live in the manner described. We are awaiting a reply from Dr. Dicer who with the county health commissioner will make inspection. If these people the Noble county poor house, but we do know if they are taken to some county poor houses, they will not live under any better conditions than they have lived in their own home, and all this makes us exclaim How long, O Lord, how long? To Clean Patent Leather. Clean patent leather shoes with a sponge and warm water. Warm the leather with gentle heat but take care not to get it too hot and apply sweet oil or olive oil with or without an equal quantity of turpentine. Apply the oil with a sponge or cloth and rub with the palms of the hands while the leather Is warm. Apply ordinary blacking to the edges of the soles or Rquid varnish blacking with a sponge Or brush, but do not apply paste or liquid blacking to patent leather. Hew te Keep Cream Fresh. To beep cream fresh and sweet heat ft almost to a boiling point put It in a glass bottle, cover and set aside to cool. Cream thus treated will keep j sweet and fresh for several days in moderate weather and over tbe second day ln warm weather. How te Fill Preserve Jars. Aa easy way to fill preserve jars is to use a gravy boat.
