AND OTHER, Cities Woman Says Store NEW YORK. For moro than a week Mrs. Helen Gray was unablo to open or cloao hor mouth without re moving her bow store teoth, sho told Justice Hoffman In tho Yorkvllle mu nicipal court during tho trlnl of her suit for $50 against Doctor Sollm Worster, a dontlst. "Do you mean to say that you kept your mouth shut for a week and didn't talkr asked tho court. "I didn't kcop tho teeth In all the time," responded Jdra. dray, who Is past middle ago. "I didn't think thero was anything that would closo a woman's mouth for that length of time," remarkod the Justice. Tho plaintiff Bald she didn't mean to say that sho wont a wholo week without talking. What sho did moan was that for spells sho couldn't talk, as tho store teeth acted like a gag and interfered with articulation. She explained that last July sho called on Worster to boo about substitutes for her mlBslng front teoth, and that the dentist agreed to supply her with the required articles for $50. Tho monoy was paid and she got a Bachelor Collects INDIANAPOLIS.-rHalrplns are tho special hobby of Luman K. Dab cock, prlvato secretary of Mayor Shank. Mr. Dabcock has hairpins by tho hundreds and thousands from tho ordinary little wlro affair that can bo bought two dozon for flvo cents to tho moro elaborate tortolso shell ef fects that can bo bought at a prlco as high as the buyer wishes to go. For years Mr. Babcock, who is a modest young bachelor, has been collecting hairpins until ho now has approxi mately three thousand. i Canceled postage stamps, postcards, canes, pipes and other things that are usually collected have never had any particular fascination for Mr. Bab cock. But let him find a hairpin and, hlB Interest is aroused immediately. "I always wanted to make a col lection of some sort," he says, "but did not wish to collect something every ono else was interested in. So Sleep With an Umbrella in Reach Now CHICAGO. When Mrs. A. C. 3reen baum of 451C Calumet avenuo re tires nt night she takes pains to havo handy at her sido a large family um brella opened and ready tor uso in her bedroom, desplto tho time-honored prophecy of bad fortune which may fol low such a precaution, f This was her decision following a strango experience several nights ago when she and her husband were awa kened at about midnight by a dclugo of water dripping on them from tho celling. They occupy tho second floor of an apartment building and were un ablo to account for the mysterious mid night drenching. Mr. Greonbaum, who Is a bookkeeper, mado many futile at tempts to And the Janitor of the build ing. Tho peoplo in tho flat abovo wero aroused, but could not explain tho sud den shower. Still tho water continued "Murder" Victim an Indian Cigar Sign CHICAGO. Tho clock In tho Chi cago avenuo pollco station was Just striking tho hour of midnight when tho telephone bell on the ser geant's desk rang. A womnn'B trembling volco an swered the sergeant's "Hello." "Send policemen, quick!" shrieked tho womnn. "There has been a mur der down hero at Clark and tho rlvor. A woman was killed. I saw two men carry her to the bridge and dump her into tho river." "Where are you?" asked tho ser geant. "In tho Geneva hotel, 1, North Clark stroot," was the breathless nuswer. "I saw the two men drag tho woman's body along tho sldownlk and then cast hor into tho river at tho northwest cor ner of tho bridgo. Then they ran away. It Just happened a moment ngo. I saw Teeth Act as Gag sot of artificial teoth, and then her troubles began. They didn't seem to work right nnd sho was unablo to eat meat or other articles of diet that called for thorough grinding. Sho Just couldn't work her "jaws ono way or the other. After vainly trying to break them In as ono would a pair of shoes by wearing, sho took them back to tho dentist for alterations. Ho altcrod them, but still they wouldn't fit, and sho had to pass hor neighbors without speaking to them when tho gag was in her mouth. For somo time buo had to restrict herself to soft articles of food because of tho awkward tenth. "You talk very well now, madamo," tho court remarked. "Oh, I gave tho teeth back," said the plaintiff. "I tried 'em until my patlcnco gave out; then I took thorn back to the dentist and gave them to him and asked for my monoy. Ho re fused to give It to me. I am not go ing to bother any moro with falso teeth. 1 made up my mind to get along without them." Dentist Worster testified that ho did a first-class piece of dental work for bis client, but that sho seemed un usually hard to please. Justlco Hoffman said thero wcro two things essential to a woman's comfort, ability to talk nnd eat easily, and he thereforo felt obliged to glvo Judgment to tho plaintiff for tho full amount sued for. Women's Hairpins far as I know, thero Is only one other man In tho country who collects hair pins, and ho lives In Grand Rapids. My collection is probably tho largest of Its kind in tho United' States." Included in the collection aro 535 hairpins that he found In the streets during a tour of Europe In 1903. Every pin Is labeled to show where and when it was found. Thero Is one that was picked from tho grave of Georgo Eliot, in London; another that tho horse ridden by King Edward VII. stopped on while the king was review ing troops In gt. James park; still another waB found In St. Peter's, Romo. There are hairpins from Paris, Berlin and other capitals of Europe. Mr. Babcock has seventy-two hair pins that ho found In the streets of Quoenstown, nnd forty that ho found In the streets of Cork, and ho Says tho women of Ireland, as far as his experience has been, lost moro hair pins than tho women of any other nationality. "I was in Queenstown four hours," ho said, "and during that time found HnVftntv.twn i n Irnttia ' When Mr. Babcock arrived In New! roric rrom Europe, Jils hairpins caused consldorablo Interest among tho custom houso officers. to seep through the celling.

" yellod Greonbaum through tho telephone to tho night desk ser geant of tho Hyde Park police station, when at last he got tho connection. "And thero is no rain anywhere on the South side except In our fiat What shall wo do?" The police and tho Janitor went to tho rescue. In a few minutes tho dripping ceased and tho Janitor ex plained that tho water came from a tank on the roof of tho houso, which Is used during tho summer when tho water pressure Is not so strong as usual. It had been filled fcr the first time that day and it leaked. Tho Groenbaum flat got tho benefit of all tho water, which mysteriously shunned other flats. Greenbaum declares ho will havo cork soles put on hlB shoes so that if it happens again ho will not be obliged to go shoeless to h!a work. Baby Greonbaum Is crying for a duck for a pet Instead of the canary bird which his mother has promised him. It from my window ami i to tho phono.

Clark street was do sorted and looked tranquil and peace- iui. i no onugo tendor was the only parson In sight. Ho said ho had been wnlklng about the bridgo for an hour or so and had seen no signs of murder. Tho pollco could find no traco of tho woman wno nau telephoned and tho offlcers roturned to tho station. It was evidently a falso alarm.

Work on the Largest Aerial Craft la Rapidly Drawing Near Comple tion Ribs Constructed of New Metal. London. The new airship for tho British navy Is rapidly nearlng com pletion at the works of Vlckors, Sons & Maxlmt at Barrow-ln-Furnoss. It will bo tho largest, one of tho fastest and the most powerful airship in tho world. Its great gas-containing body, built up rigidly with a new metal which Is far stronger and only a trlflo heavier than aluminum, will bo 500 feat long nnd 50 feet in diameter, rb against tho 446 feet in length of tho monster Zeppelin typo of airships. The garage, which faces tho sea, Is 600 feet long and 100 feet broad. Gangs of men are now busy con structing a great "cradle." Upon this tho airship will rest as It Is pieced to gether. Practically every part of the airship is now ready, and only awaits tho assembling process. Tho plan haB been to distribute tho making of tho various section over nil departments of Messrs. Vlckers, Sons & Maxim's works. By this moans it has been possible to preservo great secrecy con cerning all important details of con struction. Work is also nbout to commence upon a special launchway from which tho airship will tako flight. Its trials will bo carried out over tho Bea. It Is designed, In fact, for sea scouting. Tho airship's permanent quarters will bo on tho northeast coast, and It will bo called upon to cruise for days at a stretch along the coast lino and out to sea. With this work In view, rolla- blllty In stormy weather haB been one of tho chief alms in tho airship's con struction. Tho method of fitting together tho pectlons of tho airship's tremendous hull Is particularly Interesting. As Australian Beef in London May Compete With United States and Argentina Importance of Ex periment Threefold. London. Australia Is determined at last to make an effort to capturo from America some of tho meat trado wth England. Thero Is at presont only ono ship, and thnt a "wind Jammer," engaged In the trade. This ship, tho Marathon, has Just completed hor sec ond voyago with a consignment of chilled meat from Australia, but the arrival on this occasion Is much more jiotablo than on previous occasions, for tho reason that whereas tho first voyago occupied 62 days, tho present trip has taken 67 days, tho vessel having been dolayod owing to tho Australian coal strike. To land beef In England In perfect condition after a voyage of nearly ton weeks Is con sidered something of nn achievement, and it is likely to innugurnto a new Bchome for tho supply of Britain with empire grown beef and at tho same tlmo help tho Australian meat ox porters, It is pointed out that tho impor tance of the experiment Is threefold. It will glvo Great Britain n now Bourco of fresh meat supply, and so bring her less under tho control of tho frozen moat trust; It will permit Australia to compete for tho chilled beef trade with Great Britain, up to tho present monopolized by the United States, and Argentlno, nnd It will glvo tho Australian ment com panies, who havo beon sending tholr meat shipments to England In a fro zen stato, a largo margin of profit, because thero Is a dlfferenco in value botweon chilled and frozon meat In London of about two cents a pound. At present the American companies havo practically a monopoly of tho meat supplies at Smlthfleld market, London, and have been making of lato a bold bid to dominate both entirely. Steamers nre at presont being built AIRSHIP ono mctnl section follows another In position around tho sides of tho ship the whole of tho hull can bo mado to revolve upon Its cradle for tho con venience of tho fitters. Its remarkable slzo will ctiablo tho airship to ralso Into the nlr a weight nf closo upon 20 tons. Its two 200 horse-power petrol engines, which have alrcndy been subjected to tests for reliability, will glvo It n consider able speed through the nlr. It Is hoped, In fact, that It will attain 45 miles an hour under fair conditions. It was at first Intended that the metal ribs and rigid sections of tho hull should bo built of aluminum. But since the first plans wero mado tho constructors havo discovered a now metal alloy. It Is said to bo nearly Beven times as strong as aluminum nnd only very slightly heavier. It now seems probable that the nlr pjiip will be 'ready for Its preliminary trials in June or July next tho time montloned by Mr. KcKenna In the house of commons not long ago. Like Fish in Reports From Dealers Show Sales Amount to Several Million Dollars Yearly. Harrlsburg, Pa. Returns to the state fisheries department, under tho now law requiring reports from fisher men nnd flBh dealors, indicates that tho business amounts to several mil lion dollars a year in Pennsylvania. State Fish Commissioner William E. Meehan, in his annual report Just pro pared, says that as this was tho first year in which tho act was In opera tion, and as his means for enforcing It nre limited, tho returns wero monger, oxcopt as to tho fishing Industry of Lako JSrlo and tho commercial fish hatcheries, tho figures from which uro complete Ton wholesale houses in Philadel phia nnd Chester reported n business with tho Idea of bringing regular sup plies of Argentlno chilled beef to Smlthfleld market every Monday morning nn arrangement which tho Australian chilled beef experiment,. If properly followed up, may rather se riously disturb, for It will mean that no longer will tho Americans enjoy a monopoly. Sealer Ends Long Trip. Halifax, N. S.

"No ono will dony that fresh laid eggs, kept In cold stor age for Indefinite periods, loso their pnlntabtllty," T. H. Ynwgor, superin tendent of tho clcctrlcnl dopnrtmont of tho Rochester Lighting company, announced as tho result of his experi ments. "This Is because the eggs aro slowly frozen to death," ho continued. "Eggs should bo killed tho snmo as nnlmal food, nnd tho way to kill them Is by electrocution. "Put an end to tho Ufa of embryo chlckcnB by sending 600 volts of elec tricity through tho shell. Eggs thus electrocuted preservo their natural fresh taste, and do not loso It oven by a long retirement In storage. "Thero Is so much Ufa In tho or dinary fresh laid egg that It takes 600 volts to kill It." Ho Is now experimenting with lob sters and oysters, believing It to bo moro humane to electrocute thorn than to boll or ronst them alive. Pennsylvania of J346.757.28.
