Judge Hagner has granted Mary Middle- ton a divorce from Henry M. Middleton. They were married in April, 1885, when she was but fifteen years of age. He desert- ea her shortly after their marriage, and later she was informed that he was dead. So believing, she married Moulton Yeager two years ago, but last April received a let- ter from her first husband, in which he said that he wished to see her. She at once separated from Yeager and applied for the divorce. ———_ : Mrs; Sackett Wants a Divorce. A sequel to the desertion of his wife and children by Harry A. Sackett, a silhouette artist, several months ago, was the filing Saturday afternoon by his wife, Mary Ella Sackett, of a petition for divorce. The de- fendant was well known bere, and for a time plied his calling on the Marshall Hall steamers. Losing that privilege, he worked about town for awhile and then left for the west. When next heard of it was learned that he had eloped from Elkhart, Ind., with a Miss. Frances Davenport of thet place, a daughter of State Senator B. L. Davenport. Mrs. Sackett charges her husband with de- sertion and infidelity and asks for the cus- tody of their two children. —_———— Death of Dr. Chas. Harvey. ‘The news of the sudden death of Dr. Charles A, Harvey, which occurred in San Francisco, Cal., Sunday morning, October 21, while there on a business trip, was a great shock to his many friends in this city. Dr. Harvey was a resident of Wash- ington for a good many years, and was the financial and educational secretary of How- ard University for over ten years. He was a man well known and greatly beloved by all who knew him intimately for his genial and kindly nature. He leaves a wife and four daughters, who were almost prostrated by the news of his death, coming suddenly, as it did, when they were looking forward to his early return home. They are Mrs. C. Emmet Crawford of Middletown, ¥ Mrs. Chauncey B. Moore of Utica, N. Y. Mrs. Henry C. Magruder of New York cit and Mrs. Frank A. Nute of this city. aS Ee saa It is Worth Seeing.

THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, OCTOBER 29; 1894—-TWELVE PAGES. TWO CENTS A_ LOAF Actual Oost of Manufacturing Bread Out- side of Labor. The Agricultural Departm an Interesting Bulletin About the Staff of Life. it Issues The waiter roared it through the hall: “We don’t give bread with one fish ball.” That was a good many years ago. There are developments regarding the actual cost of manufacturing the staff of life being made with each recurring day which show that it would be easy for even the most elcse-fisted of retaurauteurs to give bread with a single fried oyster, much less a fish ball. The daily papers, and, casually, The Star, have so fully proven that the former price of 5 cents a loaf was extortionate when the prevailing prices for breadstuffs were taken into consideration that the bakers, after much backing and filling and representations about milk and butter and high-pricéd labor and other things entering into the making of bread, finally decided to meet the public demand, so that a loaf of bread may now be purchased for 4 cents, or 20 per cent cheaper than before the crusade began. Agricultural Department Aroused. The Agricultural Department has been aroused to practical interest by the dis- cussion over the question, and with its usual commendable promptness to add to the public knowledge on domestic questions it has issued a bulletin on the cost of bread. The subject matter it contains is taken from a forthcoming report on the relative value of foods prepared by Prof. W. O. Atwater. “In practice,” says the bulletin, “100 pounds of flour will make from 133 to 137 pounds of bread, an average being 136 pounds. ' A “Flour, such as is used by bakers, is now purchased in the eastern states at not over $4 per barrel. This would make the cost of the flour in a pound of bread about one and a half cents. Allowing one-half cent for the shortening and salt, which is cer- tainly very liberal, the materials for a pound of bread would cost not more than two cents. Of course, there should be added to this the cost of labor, rent, in- terest on investment, expense of selling, ete., to make the actual cost to the baker. Searcity of Analyses. “Very few accurate weighings and an- alyses of bakers’ bread have been made in this country, so far as I am aware,” con- tinues Prof. Atwater, “but the above state- ment represents the facts as nearly as I fhave been abie to obtain them. “The average weight of a number of ten- cent loaves purchased in Middletown, Conn., was one and one-fourth pounds. This makes the price to the consumer eight cents per pound. Thé price of bread and the size of the loaf are practically the same now as when flour cost twice as much. “The cost Of bakers’ bread is a compara- tively small matter to the person who buys only a loaf now and then, but in the east- ern states and in the larger towns through- out the country many people, and especially those with moderate inccmes and the poor, buy their bread of the baker. Six cents a pound, or even half that amount, for the manufacture and distribution seems a very large amount. Cheapness From Competition. “In the large cities competition has made bread much cheaper, but even there the difference between the cost of bread to the well-to-do family, who make it themselves, and to the family of the poor man, who buys it of the baker, is unfortunately large.” ‘The report also goes into the chemistry and scientific features of bread making. The nutrients in bakers’ bread are protein, 9 per cent; fats, 2 per cent; carbo-hydrates, 56 per cent; mineral matter, 1 per cent. Total, 68 per cent nutrients, and 32 per cent water. In wheat flour the total nutrients are 88 per cent, and water 12 per cent, showing that the nutrients are largely reduced by baking. The potential energy in a pound of flour is 2,000 per cent; in a pound of bakers’ bread, 1,300 per cent. With the increase in the proportion of water in the bread, as compared with the flour, the proportion of nutrients is dimin- ished, but the addition of shortening and salts brings up the fat and minerals in the bread, so that the proportions are larger than fn the flour. —_—_— TWO SPEAKEASY CASES. One Perambulating Bar in a Woman's Pocket. Police Sergeant John C. Daley, who is not much loved by violators of the law, paid two calls in South Washington yesterday, but the persons upon whom he called were not glad to see him. He was not given a hearty welcome, nor was he even invited to take a drink, and this is something unusual for the persons upon whom he called, al- though the drinks may possibly have to be paid for by the guest. About the time the hundreds of children were hurrying off to Sunday schoo) the sergeant and the officer on the beat called on Mrs. Kate Connell at No. 488 K street. Mrs. Connell, whom the police say is a “grass widow,” was at home. Her husband, who had been a police officer and then a saloon keeper, *resides in the city, but not in the house with Kate. A warrant charging Mrs. Connell with a violation of the liquor law was read to her, and in the house the cfficers found two little brown jugs in which there was liquor. Kate and the jugs were taken, and she was released on bond for a hearing. ‘Two hours later Sergeant Daley and the officer strolled down the street and called at the little home and barber shop of How- ard G. Warner in Porksteak alley. A customer was about to get shaved when the officers entered and met the barbe se hue suit ani brass buttons and di play of UG. A. R. badges showed him to be a veteran of the late war. His wife, anxious to learn why the oiticers had called on Sun- day morning, stepped from her*part of the house and inquired the cause of all the ex- citement. “I want that bottle which is in your pock- * the officer told her. eed I got no bottle,” was what she told him. “Yes, you have,” said the officer, whcse information was to the effect that the sup- ply of liquid refreshments had been kept in her pocket. No sooner hed he said the word than he started toward Lavinia Warner. “Keep away from here, man,” she shout- ed, but, seeing the officer was determined to ascertain the whereabouts of the perambu- lating supply, she drew a quart bottle of whisky from her pockct and an instant later the bottle Janded on the stove and the whis- ky was spilled. ‘Then the old veteran told the officer that he had done the best he could for his wift “She bought the whisky for 1 a gelion he said, “and I tried to stop her, but she was too much for me.” Howard was arrested as being responsible for his wife's actions, and he will be given a jury trial. Mrs. Connell will also be tried by a jury. — Room Needed. Daniel H. Williams, surgeon in charge of Freedmen’s Hospital, has written to the Commissioners informing them that there are twenty-five persons in Freedmen’s Hos- pital who are not patients proper. He states that they occupy beds which are needed very much for acute cases, which they are forced to refuse every day. The letter further states that it is evident that the increased demands upon the hospital will force them to enlarge its capacity to its fullest extent to accommodate those who are in need of immediate attention. Sev- eral patients are refused admission each day for the lack of room. He requests that the persons be transferred to the Washing- ton Asylum. ge Letter Toxes. The Commissioners have given permission to Postmaster Sherwood to erect letter box posts at thé following places: Fourteenth and Stoughton streets, southwest corner; 14th and Pennsylvania avenue southeast, southeast corner; North Capitol and I streets northeast, northwest corner; 15th and G streets northeast, southwest corner; 16th and T streets northwest, northwest corner, and in front of 426 7th street north- west. A SERIOUS CHARGE. Arrested and Held in Georgetown. The police yesterday locked up Henry Sim- mons, captain of the tugboat Eva Belle Cain, which recently sank off Tenny’s wharf, near the Aqueduct bridge, charging him with having enticed, or been instru- mental to the enticement from her home of Ida Sutton, the sixteen-year-old daughter of John Sutton of Alexandria. The girl has been missing from her home for several days, and all personal efforts to locate her have been made by the father and brother. She was found at the residence of a man named Kuntz near the Aqueduct bridge. There, it 1s claimed, the girl was forcibly detained by and through the orders of Sim- mions. It is alleged that the captain's of- fense is one against the Edmunis law, which affects the District. Such an act is punishable heavily, too, under the laws of Virginia. It is as yet undecided where Sim- mons will be investigated. The prisoner will say but litule, only protesting his inno- cence. The girl, who has been taken home, refused to detail her experiences of late. She is quite a prettv girl, and, it is said, has borne a good reputation. Simmons is a brother-in-law of the owner of the tug of which he was captain. Henry Beach of Alexandria is owner. Henry Simm: ae EES NO FEMALES NEED APPLY. The Interstate Democratic Associa- tion Evidently Opposed to Woman’s Rights. The Interstate Democratic Association decided at its meeting on Saturday night that ladies were not eligible to member- ship in the organization. This decision was brought about by the application of Miss Ada Nixon of Arkansas for admission. Thirteen stalwart males were made mem- bers, however, and considerable business transacted. It was decided to contribute $200 to the campaign fund of the congres- sional committee, and a resolution was passed seuding greetings to David B. Hill “in his splendid fight against the enemies of democracy,” and extending to him heart- felt wishes for his triumphant success. The resolution was telegraphed to Senator Hill at once Mr. W. L. Walter of Michigan spoke at some length on the subject of veterans in the departments, declaring that many em- ployes who were posing as ex-Union sol- diers had never fired a gun. It was decided to have a meeting of Vir- ginia members of the association on next Thursday evening, to arrang> for leaving in a body fr the old dominion on Saturday night. The association is said to have ale ready made arrangements by which 1,000 voters will be sent to their homes in time to cast their ballots tomorrow week. ge GEN. —— 's MEETING. A Big Rush for Tickets for Conven- tion Hall Next Monday. Although the sale of seats for General Booth's Convention Hall meeting of next Monday evening, November 5, only began at Droop’s on Saturday a large number of seats have been taken. Of course there are large numbers of the best seats, still to be sold, but those who come first will fare better than those who come later. ‘The price of the tickets, 25 cents, was made so low expressly for the purpose of giving everybody a chance to hear General Booth, but it naturally increases the demand for tickets. In New York much larger prices were charged, the orchestra chairs and the boxes at Carnegie Hail being eagerly taken at opera prices. But New York has a large population of wealthy persons and Wash- irgton has not, and besides there were numerous meetings in New York, while there will be only the one in Washington. It ought to be distinctly understood that General Booth personally does not get one penny from any of the money raised by the sale of tickets or otherwise either in Washington or elsewhere. 1t all goes either to pay the necessarily large expenses of such great meetings or the traveling ex- penses of the oificers engaged in the mee! ings or directly to the work of the Salv: tion Army. General Booth has never made a dollar out of the Salvation Army, but on the contrary has spent in its service all the money that he made by his books and other publications and by his lectures and all that his friends have given him except what was absolutely necessary for his bare support. is seeceaapeee ts CHRISTIAN SOCIOLOGY. A Meeting to Form a Branc! National institute. A meeting was held last Friday evening in the rooms of the board of trade of some of those who are interested in the formation in this city of a branch of the American Ipstitute of Christian Sociology. As is weil known, this is a national organization, of which Prof. Ely of the University of Wis- consin is the president, and, as the name indicates, the purpose of the association is to claim for the Christian law the ultimate authority to rule social practice, to study in common how to apply the principles of Christianity to the social and economic diffi- culties of the present time, and to present Christ as a living master and king of men, and His kingdom as the complete ideal of human society to be realized on earth. Two weeks ago a meeting was held to consider the advisability of organizing a branch, and Rev. Teunis 8. Hamlin was at that time chosen temporary chairman. A statement of these facts was made by Dr. Hamlin at the meeting Friday night, and it was decided that before attempting to form an organization another meeting should be held on Friday of this week at the same place. A thoughtful paper on criminology was read by Prof, Thomas Wilson, which was followed by a discussion that brought out a great deal of valuable information. The interest aroused by this preliminary meet- ing was so great that those present were of the opinion that a permanent organization would prove of value to the students of social questions. As the membership of the national organization {s confined to men, it was concluded that in the formation of a branch a similar rule would be followed. ee National Spiritualists, Saturday evening the local members of the National Spiritualists’ Assoctation dedi- cated their new headquarters at 600 Penn- sylvania avenue southeast with appropriate ceremonies, ‘The invocation was made by Mrs. Olive A. Blodgett and the dedication by Mrs. Cora V. L. Richmond.

At the meeting ofithe board of managers of the Associated Charities Saturday night Superintendent L, §. Eme~y submitted his sem!-annual reporttwhich gives a very sat- isfactory showing--for! the -working of that institution. During the perio@ from May to October there were 695 caiisifor assistance made upon the central offce, of which nuiaber of applicants 454 were white and 241 colored. ‘This was somewhat less than the number that applied during the same period last year. The amountoreceived at the central office during the season eovered by the re- port was $815.35. During the period from January 15 to March 15, 1894, the most severe part of the winter, the number of calls upon the office for assistance amounted to 4,071, as against 3,530 for the same period of 1893. The amount received by the organization from the citizens’ reiief committee was $8,099, and from direct contributions $2,982.27. ‘The report speaks at some length as to the prospects for the coming winter, and gives the members of the association to un- derstand that if cold weather sets in early and the season is a hard ong, a great deal of ussistance will be needed to enable the association to respond to all the calls that will be made upon it. An earnest appeal is made for contributions, either in money cr in the way of clothing, food cr fuel. The work of reorganizing the association for an active winter's campaign has been com- pleted and matters of considerable im- portance will come up at the annual meet- ing, which will be held early in November. The resignation of Rev. Dr.W.A.Bartlett as president of the board of managers was ac- cepted at the meeting, and resolutions were unanimously adopted expressing the regret of the association at the necessity for his action, and paying a high tribute to the manver in whica he coaducted the office of head of the board. The resolutions ten- dered bim hearty sympathy in his retire- ment on account of ill health, and expressed sincere hope for his complete and speedy restoration. penne Sr a Judge Kimball's Parchase.

On Saturday evening Maurice, the twelve- year-old son of Mr. Robert Weaver, had his hand terribly mangled through the ex- plosion of a dynamite cartridge, whose Power he was unaware of. The boy found the explosive in the grounds of the naval observatory while on a ramble. It was old and not dangerous looking, and he handled it carelessly. The explosion was caused immediately through the action of the young fellow in tapping it with a stick. He was seated at the time and idly moving the cartridge about, when, unthinkingly, he gave it what he intended as a final stroke. By this time the cartridge had probably become warmed up a little and it went off. One part of the boy’s hand was blown off and the flesh of his fingers lacerated be- yond all shape. The member has the ap- pearance of having been chewed by a vicious dog. The bones of the fingers, how- ever, are believed to be intact. While a lit- tle splintering may have taken place, none were broken, as far as the laceration admits of seeing.
