THE Yonkers MYSTERY.

The Murdered Man’s Life \Vas Heavily
Insured—An Important Statement.

YONKEns, N. Y.,. Oct. 29.—Louis Mc-
Leod, the discharged ofiice boy who has
been kept at police headquarters for some
days past on account of his supposed value
as a witness in connection with the An-
drus bomb mystery, was allowed to go
home today.

It now transpires that he was kept be-
cause he had delivered the battery cells
from Washburn’s store at the chemical
works. Coroner Miles said today, how-
ever, that they had concluded that the boy
knew nothing about the matter.

It was noised about police headquarters
that the detectives that have been on the
case had been discharged.
said, though, that this was not the case.

It was learned today that the insurance
companies interested take very little stock
in the murder theory, and it is reported
that they have engaged counsel in You-
kers to aid in an investigation that they
have now begun.

The late Hamlin J. Andrus, it trans-

pires, was insured in the New York Life
for $10,000, in the Mutual Life for $20,-
000, and in other companies for $30,000
more.
- A director of the Citizens’ National
bank, who refuses to allow his name,to be
used, said today that Mr. Andrus once
confided to him that he was making a de-
vice for repelling burglars for use on the
bank vault.

It seems that this device coincides exact-
ly with the model made by Machinist
Kyley for Andrus.

SOBRIBTY PAID THIS MAN.

George Cracker Abstained Five Years
and \Von $500,000.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 29. ——As a reward
for five consecutive years of total absti-'
'nence from intoxicants George Crocker was
today awarded $500,000.

The history of the case is peculiar.
Charles Crocker, father of George, Charles
F. and William H. Crocker, died Sept. 22,
1891, and in making his will failed to be-
queath a portion of his property to his son
George, who was given to overindulgence
in intoxicants. Instead he placed 490
bonds of the Southern Pacific company in
the hands of the other two sons in trust
for George, with the proviso that if within
15 years after the death of the founder of
the fund George Crocker should stay sober
for five consecutive years the principal
should be turned over to him.

If, however, he failed to abstain from
overindulgence, the bonds were to be dis-
tributed among certain grandchildren of
Charles Crocker. In September last George
Crocker applied for the bonds, alleging he
had been sober for five years. The matter
was submitted to the court by the exe-
cutors, who were instructed to turn over
the bonds to the legatee.

BUDAPEST, Oct. 29.-—The fourth game

gorin for the first prize of the interna-
tional chess masters’ tournament was

knights’ defense, and Charousek was
beaten after 46 moves. Tschigorin, there-
fore, takes first and Charousek second
prize

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.——-The opinion is

parties to the present controversy.

THE PARIS DEPARTMENT STORES.

System by Which the Employees Are 01'-
ganlzed, Lodged and Fed.

The great department stores in Pa‘
ris, such as the Bon Marché, the Lou.
vre,‘ and the Printemps, carry the or-
ganization of their employee to a point
not dreamed of here, and have in op—
eration extensive and costly plans for
stimulating the interest and energy
or the help in the business to the
highest degree. The new employe re-
ceives at the start a salary of 400
francs, or about $80 a yss‘. besides
being lodged and fed, and in addition
a commission of from two to live per
cent upon his sales, so that the low—
est salesman rarely makes less than
$160 a year. A head of department.
or buyer, as he is known here, may
easily make from $2,500 to $3,000 a
year, and some of them exceed $5,000.
While these figures are low compared
with the $10,000 and $20,000 salaries
paid in New York, they seem high
when measured by the scale of sala—
ries that prevail in France. Thus the
best paid among the higher cmployes
receive larger salaries than Presidents
of sections in the Council of State and
generals of division. The average pay
of an experienced salesman is abou:
4,000 francs, or $800 a year.

The total number of employcs in the
Bon Marché and the Louvre is about
3,000 each, among whom are only
about 400 women. In the Bon Marché
and the Louvre lodging in the build-
ings provided by the establishment is
optional for employes of both sexes
less than 21 years old; in the Prin—
temps it is obligatory. The Louvre
has on the Avenue Rapp a. (great
building accommodating 250 male eni-
ployes, and not far from it another
where 100 young girls are lodge" . The
Bon Marché furnishes simila: accom-
modations. All these estaolishmcnts
are conducted under pccujarly strin-
gent rules. The girls have a parlor
where entertainments are organized

on Sundays and certain evenings of»:

the week, but from which the other
sex is excluded utterly. Not even a
father or a brother may be received
there.

The great stores have a medical ser-
vice {or tit-i? employes. which in-
clude§ an filfii‘mary and outings in
the 00111111')’ Ol‘ at the seashore. In ad-
ditioa, when a man or woman com-
pletes seven years of service in the
Louvi'é, btéuih of 1,000 francs is cred-
ited to Lilli! iii the pension fund, and
afterward 200 francs a year up to his
fiftieth- g'ear of service. The savings
fund of the Bon Marché now amounts
to 2,000,000 francs, and 200,000 francs
are added annually, and in addition
there is a pension fund founded by
Mme. Boucicault, who built up this
immense business, which now
amounts to 6,000,000 francs.

Home Influence.
Our home influence is not a pass-
ing but an abiding one, and allopow-
erful for good or evil, for peace or

strife, for happiness or misery. Each.

separate Christian home has been
likened to a central sun, around
which revolves a happy and united
band of warm, loving hearts, acting,
thinking, rejoicing and sorrowing to-
gether. TVhich member of the family
group can say, I have no influence?
What sorrow or what happiness lies
in the power of each! “A lighted
lamp,” writes M’Cheyne, “is a very
small thing, and it burns calmly and
without noise, yet it giveth light to
all who are within the .house. And
so there is a quiet influence which,
like the flame of a. scented lamp, fills
many a home with light and frag-
rance. Such an influence has been
beautifully compared to ‘a. carpet,
soft and deep, which, while it diffuses
a look, of ample comfort, deadens
many a creaking sound. It is the cur-
tain which from many a beloved form
wards off at once the summer’s glow
and the winter’s wind. It is the pi.
low on which sickl'ess lays its head
and forgets half its miscry.’ This in-
fluence falls as ‘the refreshing dew,
the invigorating Sunbeam, the ferti-
lizing shower, shining on all with the
mild lustre of moonlight, and harmon-
izing in one soft tint many of the dis-
cordant :hues of a. family picture."

HlNTS FOR THE HOUSEHOLD.

Every housewife should impress up-
on the minus of ‘her family lthat the
best sauce for any meat is cheerful-
ness. Laughter aids digesti JR, and
people should never grumble while eat-
mg.

In giving medicine in liquid form to
an infant place 'the point of the spoon
containing the medicine against the
roof of the mouth. Administering it in
this way, it will be impossible for the
child to choke or eject the medicine.

In the fall cleaning of closets and
storerooms the best thing to wash the
walls and shelves with is a strong, hot
solution of alum water. A brush should
be used for the purpose, as that will
Hot
alum wafer is a good eradicator for all
sorts of. pests, and Will also kill the
egg , While hot water and soap seem
to aid in hatching them;

.When frying croquettes, after rolling
them in beaten egg and. crumbs, lay
them in a wire basket and plunge the
basket deep into boiling hot fat. Then

 

a crust is formed at once over the out- .

side, which prevents the grease fro-1:1
penetrating. When the croquettes are
browned transfer them to brown pa~
per to absorb any grease that may ad-
here to them. If not quite ready to
serve, let them remain upon the paper
at the mouth of the oven to keep them
too.
