A QU7ESTION OF VERACITY.
A Young Private Secretary's Enbar
rassing Experience.
"I had a narrow call the other day," said
a young private secretary to a cabinet offi
cer, "which illustrites the fallacy of jump
ing at conclusions.
"There was a certain departmental se
cret supposed to he in the keeping of the
old man ant my".-If only. To our mutual
surprise and to my intense chagrin. the
whole thing appeared in the columns of a
western paper which has a correspondent
here. The old man called me in, and with
a severe look handed me the paper, asking
how I 'accounted for its publication.'
"I knew that I had not spoken of it, so
my conseience was clear.
' 'There is but one way to account for it,'
I answered, 'and that is that it is a coinci
rrnce.'
"'A coincidence!' exclaimed my superior,
a trifle annoyed. 'And how do you account
for the "cinidence," pray?' He knew that
I would cut my right hand off before I
would be false in the slightest particular to
him.
"'Sir.' I said. and I was conscious of
flushing. 'Sir. I repeat that 1 have not
spoken a word of this matter to any one,
more especially to this correspondent, or
t, any newspaper man. I have given you
my word of honor, sir. That has been suf
ficent in the past on any question.'
"'And it is now.' said the old man. quick
ly. 'I beg your pardon, - -: I do not
doubt your word, but it is a d- odd coin
cidence.'
"'Nevertheless,' I maintaincd, firmly, 'it
i a coincidence.'
"I was terribly worried over it. as the
old man tok it much to heart. That even
ing I hunted up the correspondent, whom
I well knew, and asked him how and where
he got the facts which formed the basis for
the article. He replied that, since it was
his business to keep himself informed as
to all measures, tangible and probable, af
fecting his community, he had conceived
the idea which formed the article and which
the old man had intended carrying out as
soon as a certain appropriatjon was avail
able. It was of great interest locally and
as a matter of news.
"With this idea dimly outlined In his
mind, he had sought his senator, and by
judicious questioning, had obtained the
whole story. Of course, the senator was
cognizant of the matter, but he had not
been thought of. So. you see, it was merely
a coincidence. If the correspondent's idea
had come to him a week later, the depart
ment would have had the reform under
way.
"At my solicitation he explained the mat
ter to the old man the following day. The
latter complimented him on his astute pre
science, glanced at me a bit more benevo
lently than was his wont, and the incident
was closed with honors even all around."
A PRIZE OFFER.
One Hundred Dollars in Gold for Solv
log "Mother's Bread" Pussle.
Working out puzzles is not only a pleas
ant pastime, but serves to sharpen the
wits and strengthen the reasoning facul
ties. Many newspapers and business firms
offer prizes for the solution of ingenious
puzzles, but no recent prize offer of this
kind has awakened more interest and in
quiry than will be aroused by the "On the
square" Mother's Bread puzzle. This is to
be givcn away by all grocers on Wednes
day, January 21, to every purchaser of a
loaf of Corby's Mother's bread. The puz
zle is a simple one, and yet so cleverly
made that it is likely to cause every would
be solver to put on his thinking cap in
earnest before he arrives at the correct so
lution. Messrs. Corby Bros. offer 1100 in
gold for the solution of the puzzle, to be
divided equally among the first lt) people
sending in the correct solution. Answers,
accompanied by the usual stamp from a
loaf of Mother's bread, are to be sent, by
mail only. to Corby's modern bakery, Z13
Brightwood avenue, before midnight, Fri
day, January le. Only answers egnt by
malt will be considered. Mr. J. Whit. Her
ron, cashier of The Evening Star News
paper Company, has consented to superin
tend the opening of answers, and will an
nounce the names of winners of the $1151
in gold, thus insuring absolute impartiality
in the award of prizes.
FOR MUTUAL INTEREST.
Journeymen Bakers Endeavor to
Form a Closer Union.
A largely attended meeting of journey
men bakers was held last Saturday even
ing at Typographical Temple, under the
auspices of Bakers and Confectioners'
Union, No. 116, for the purpose of uniting
the bakers in one organization. Mr. John
Weber, president of the Bakers' Union,
presided. On calling the meeting to order
he expressed the desire of his organization
for the unity and harmony of the craft.
He briefly reviewed the conditions of the
local bakers, which are not as favorable, he
said, to the interests of the journeymen as
are those in other cities. ie asserted that
frequent efforts had been made by his or
ganization to improve the condition of the
beal bakers, but through the refusal of
Bakers' Assembly to co-operate they had
been unsu'"'ssful. For ;his reason, Mr.
Weber aste rted, a persistent attempt would
be made to unite the bakers, and that pre
liminary to further and more vigorous ef
fort those composing the assembly had
b-n invited to join the union without the
payment of initiation fee.
The meeting was addressed by Milford
Sp'.hn. Sam. ). Nedrey. J. H. Brinkman
and Charles S. Squire. The speakers urged
unity within the union organization and
depr"cated the inharmonious relations
whieh exists between the union and assem
bly. It was asserted that agreements be
twe"'n the organizations which assured ami
cable co-lIerative effort for the advance
ment of the interests of the local bakers
had been "more honored in the breach than
in the observance" by the assembly. It
was alto charged that the assembly has
covertly opposed the employment of mem
hers of the union, and has opposed union
organization generally. For these reasons.
it was said. Bakers and Confectioners'
Union. No. 11. will take a decided stand in
opposition tio the methods of the assembly
and will adopt means by which the craft
will be relieved of the evils of dual organ
ization.

ALLEGED THEFT FROM CHURCH. s
Deicers of a Colored Congregation
Seeking a Lost Bible.
The officers of the Mt. Hope Methodist s
Church, colored, in Prince George's coun
ty, Md., not far beyond the line separating i
the District and Maryland, are endeavoring s
to regain possession of a. large Bible alleged b
to have been stolen from their church by a d
white man whom they claim to know. The
same Bible has, according to the state- F
ments made, changed hands several times I
w:thin recent weeks. The first appearance h
of the book in the late ttransactions was
when it was found in a trunk owned by the
man now said to have stolen it from the
cburch which trunk, it was understood. was h
levied upon and the contents sold. The
Bible was bought by a man named Day, it ti
is said, for the sum of fifteen cents, and a
liter John Berry of the official board of Mt. r
Hope Church saw a chance to secure it for .
his church and purchased the book of Day
for seventy-five cents.
Soon after the former possessor of the r
trunk appearel. making inquiries about :he
Bible, which was, he said, a family reli- and dj
worth $15. He approached Berry in Ana
costia and endeavorerd to make terms by
which the Bible wouid be returned, but to
agreement was reached. lie then, it is r
stated, went to several members of the of
ficial board of the church in Prince George's
county. saying he had been sent by berry r
to look after some improvements in the
building. He easily secured admission, and, I<
in addition to pointing out work need-i r
to be done. complimenttd the man who ad.- p
n
mitted him on the fine Bible the church tf
had. They left the church together, but, it
is stated. the man r'-turnr after they had
separated, entered the building by raising a
window and took the Itible. It is said to
have been discovered that he pawned it for
$1.75, and the offeers of the church have h
found out where it is. The alleged thief is
said to have gone to West Virginia.

AMUSEMEcNTS.
SI'NDAY NIGHT CONCERT.-The Stra
kosch Opera Company gave a concert at
the Lafayette Square Opera House last
night, and although the attendance was
not so large as it should have been the
program was highly enjoyed. Mrs. Stra
kosch won deserved recognition for her
singing of Luckstone's waltz song. "De
light," and Mr. J. K. Murray received re
peated encores for "Kathleen Mavourneen."
Miss Clara Lane and the chorus gave the
Easter hymn from the "Cavalleria Rusti
cana" in excellent form, and the orchestra
played the intermezzo from the same opera
effectively. Miss Fields sang an aria from
"La Prophete," Mr. Grafton Baker gave
two numbers--"The Palms" and Chad
wick's "Before the Dawn"~artistically. and
Mr. Webb made a hIt with the "Table
d'hote" song from the "French Maid."
BURTON HOL.MES' CONCLUDING
LECTURE-Mr. Burton Holmes closes his
lectures in this city on Tuesday afternoon -
at the Columbia, htis subject being "MQki
Land-A Glimpse of Barbaric Arizona." js
a contrast to the far eastern atmosphere,
which surrounded "Manila" antd "Japan
Revisited," and the metropolitan life of
Paris and its surroundings, as shown in
his lecture "Round About Paris," nothing
could be more marked or prove a more
worthy sequel than his lecture on "The
Grand Canyon." Comparatively few know
of Moki Land and its peaceful inhabitants,
and, although Mr. Holmes gave his audi
ences last season a passing glimpse of one
of their religious rites, the coming lecture
is absolutely new and will gIve a most de
lightful insIght into the lives of these plc
turesque American citizens.

PERIODICALS FOE THE PCBLIC.
Opening of the NeueyIsper Reading
Room at the Congredskonal Library.
The reading room for current newspapers
nd periodicals in the Library of Congress
.as opened to the public today. As there
s no provisi-m for this rom in the present
ppropriation act, and the force is adequate
-ly for the day Service. the reading room
or the present will be closed at 6 o'clock.
Qven in arranging for this the attendants
.re called upon for oveutime to the extent
f two hours each day.
The periodicals and newspapers placed in
he room at the start will represent only a
ortion of those that will ultimately be
here. Many of the foreign newspapers
.ere subscribed for only recently and have
ot yet begun to arrive. It has been thought
est. however, to give the public the bene
.t of the room to the extent now possible
cithout waiting for the completer repre

GROWTH OF MISSIONS.
Voman's Society Hears Report From
Work In India.
The Woman's Foreign Missionary Society
eld a meeting yesterday afternoon at the
letropolitan Methodist Episcopal Church
nd devoted the session to a consideration
f missionaries in India. The principal
peaker of the afternoon was Miss Isabella
'hoburn, president of the Lucknow Chris
an College, India. For thirty years this
stimable lady has been engaged in mis
onary work. When she went to India to
ssist in the work the society had no money
'ith which to compensate her, yet she vol
nteered without pay until the society was
1 a position to meet her expenses. How
spidly the work has grown was shown by
he returns, which indicated a total of over
60,g00 sent to India last year by the so
lety. The speaker dwelt at length upon
he work in that far-away country and
rged the greater interest of American wo
ten and the further education of the
eople.
Miss Lillavatti Singh, a native of India
nd teacher of English literature in the
ucknow college, was introduced to the au
lence, dressed in her native costume, and
poke in an entertaining manner touching
te customs of the country and the people.
DENIES HIMSELF BUTTER.
Iter Peeping Into a New York Oleo
margarine "Creamery."
"The vigorous light made by The Star
ainst the oleomargarine frauds is deserv
ig of high commendation," said J. Fos
r Edmondson, a prominent New York at
>rney, "and the recent refusal of At
rney General Griggs to interfere in these
fuses celebre makes the victory espe
ally conspicuous.
"The matter reminds me en passant of the
ason why I do not eat butter, butterine,
eomargarine or any sort of oleaginous
bstance placed before me on any table
tcept my own.
"Some years ago I had occasion to visit
t frequent intervals a street on the west
de of New York, near the river, not far
'om the abattoirs of the stock yards of
1e New York Central. The neighborhood
a tenement and factory district. I oh
,rved large wagons, similar to those used
r breweries, in hauling malted grains, pass
awn the street toward the river front, filled
ith yellow beef fat, taflow and entral
immings, collected at the abattoire. The
imy mass, swarming with tiies, swashed
t the wagons like so mueh swill, and was
eld down by tarpaulins.
"One day, out of curiosity, I followed a
agon into the yard of the oleomargarine
setory, or 'creamery,' and for a short
'hile, until hustled out by an employe, I
ad a bird's-eye view, as it were, of the
tanufacture of the stuff, which at that
me was an infant industry. It was a foul
melting, dirty place, with greasy work
en. huge vats and cauldrons, and the mis
llaneous appliances for the transformation
r the yvllow fat into 'pure butter.'
"Visitors are not desired in oleomarga
ne 'creameries,' and I was not permitted
n inspection, hence I could not observe in
stall the method of the metamorphosis.
ut in the few minutes I remained my
omach was so sickened and my olfactory
erves so offended. that I then and there
,solved never to anoint my bread with
nything resembling butter unless I was
,rtain that it was the product of cow's
ilk.
"The place was 'clean.' perhaps, as abat
iirs are clean, from their owners' stand
aint. but I never could eradicate from my
find the picture of those wagons and vats
ill of quivering, rancid yellow fat, and
gave up eating butter in consequence."
