Some of the agricultural papers are urging some persons in each neigh borhood of farmers to purchase a good spraying outfit. and then an nounce his, willingness to spray for his neighbors at moderate t rates.?':. The suggestion is a good one, and the Bps ton Cultivator believes such a person could build up a considerable trade. 1 The London Truth is makingwar on the "snowball" method of collecting money for charities. It seems, to be the same system which in this country is known as the "chain letteff" and has proved an intolerable nuisance. The particular j 'snowball' which arouses Truth's ire is one started by a Mrs. de Mesquita to raise Pin da for Guy's Hospital.

HE true story bas 1 . - aiways remained a legend around Po- Wt lice ! Headquarters W( simply be simply oeoause there were ciicum- stances which pre vented the Chief from makine: . it pubi o at tne time," said, a retired Central Office detective, as he. chewed the end of an unlighted cigar reflec tively. ; He referred to the. arrest of a murderer which gained fame for the former -.head, of the Detective Bureau at the beginning of his career. kThe murder was one of those or dinary incidents of life in the Italian quarter, and there was nothing of any grea interest in the cause of the crime and the manner in which ifrnvas done," he continued. "It was a mystery, j however, from the fact that there was not ihe slightest clue to the indentity of the murderer, and you can just bet tne laiiei made us nastier i nave a clipping here of the story the news paper, printed about the murder the day after it occurred." . j The ex-Central Office man pulled ont his card case and handed the re- porter the clipping. "It r'ead as fol lows: Giuseppi Cassella, twenty-eight years old, I of 2m Mott street, wntle standing at tne cor ner 61 Mott and Houston streets at 11.30 o'clodk last night was stabbed and fatally wounded by a fstranger. Cassella, who had only ibeeiv in the country two weeks, was talking with a friend named Domenico Mur- ano, when a strange young man wno was very I drunk happened along. The Italians laughed at the young man, and he turned suddenly and attacked them. In the fight Cassella was stabbed in the left side. He dropped to the sidewalk, and Murano remained to attend to his friend, al lowiitg tne stranee young man to make good his escape. When Murano discovered that Cassella was badly cut he shouted for help. Policeman Rowley of the Mulberry street station, heard his cries, and when he arrived at the scene found Cassellom a. dying con dition. Ho sent in a hurry call for an am bulance to St. Vincent s Hospital, but Cas sella kiied before the surgeon arrived. Murano. who is detained. Dy tne police as a witness, cannot describe the murderer, as he says he was too much, excited to remem ber what ne looked lite. . ie sept repeating an-answer to the questions lot the police that 1th ybung man was an f Americano,! Cen tral Office detectives are working on the case with little hope of success. "That wassail any of the newspapers printed about the case the first day. As soon as the report of the stabbing was sent in from the station house the Serjeant at the desk in the Central Office 'phoned tor the? Chief's house and told him of the facts. He was told to send out the two emergency , men and any others that came in during the night on the case. The next morning the Chief was around bright and early; and when we. assembled for roll call he. talked to allhands: about the p.ara in a cenerat wav. and' said that no case in a general way, and" said that no effort';.was to be spared to hunt down the murderer.., - Then, before we left. four of us were told that we were wanted in the Chiefs private office. Two were Detective Sergeants, the star" men in" the office, and my side partner and myself, who were anxious to become Sergeants The old man, as welcalled the Chief, had. an admirable way of getting at the meat of a case and when we entered he did not waste any time in telling us what he wanted. V 'I've had a talk with this, fellow, Murano. who was with Cassella when the stabbing occurred, and I'm satis fied that he had nothing to do witb it A the Chief began. 'Both the man that was murdered and .Murano car ried stilettos, but' these were- found sheathed in their pockets. Now, all I have been able to learn as " to the description of the stranger whom Mn rano savs did the stabbing is that he wore' a blue gingham jumper over red undershirt. The jumper was open at the throat, showing the shirt. He is a fetout, well built young man o twenty-five or twenty-six years, . with dark hair and a smootn shaven fade. That's the best description I could get from Murano. . I want two of you f el lows to drag the saloons around the Bow ery and the other two to take -this fellow Murano with you and see if he can't run across the stranger; I thought at first it might have been one of those Italian vendettas . or a - Mafia scrap, but ' the Italian priest, : who knew both men, assured me that it was nothing of the kind, and I would not waste any time on that theory. The motive was . not robbery, . and you needn't bother with crooks, either. It was a simple fight, and it will, be a hard job; but yon want to see what ,y on can do.' . .... 4. ; . ' rWe paired off, each of the Ser geants taking one of ns noyices. My boss' took Murano, and we started on thehunt., Murano was a stupid fel low, and I don't think' .that if the mur derer was brought face to fac with him that day he could have identified him. We certainly saw every tough in I that precinct before , dark, but Murano gave us no hope.- The other fellows had no luck either; and we set tled down to make a systematic in quiry through the strict. We knew nearly everybody in the district that ran a joint such as the fellow described would frequent but our V questioning tws of no avaiL Jt was; a tough job, ' i and ' we seemed to ' be 'working, in a blind alley.. The reporters had . a lot ofj fun with us for a week tr so,' i and then the story died ont. T7e kept up mm J he search day bv day for. three weeks without getting any thing satisfactory, ana nnally something turned up which obliged the Chief ft o take the two Ser geants off the case. My side partner and myself had it all to ourselves. Wet had given up all hope of ever doing anything, although we started out with a stronsr burst of energy and after the first few. daysjthat wehad the case ourselves, took to soldiering. The upshot of it was. that" the X3hief finally decided to let the case drop among the mysteries. We had tried every thing) 'We got the Chief to give Murano his liberty,1 and we tailed him for several days" without" 'dicoverini anything which would seem suspi cious. , , "It was the custom to send a-cou ple of our fellows to look out for pick pockets - on the Coney Island - boats during the summer. We were assigned to this job one Sunday and went down to the island and floated around. We came back on one of the late boats, as these were usually the most crowded and the best for the pickpockets to work their trade on. . - We didn't see anybody we knew, and went up on the upper deck and finally anchored in a awe recess in tne stern, where we sat smoking and enjoying the cool breeze. I called my partner's attention to a young couple who were spooning in another recess to windward of us and we took an occasional peep at them. "Ahe wind carried snatches of their conversation to us, and while we did not pay any particular attention to it we could not help hearing it. There was one thing said which made me git up straight and almost yell right out. The young woman had aooarentlv as&ed the man' a question, as we heard him say: ' 'He's been under coyer at Hack- cttstown ever since he did that dago.' " 'But I should think that was set- tiea Dy tnis time, said the young woman. " 'un ne a as safe as a cnurcn on thatthing,but he's learly about it still, and. we can't get him to come back.' "I turned to my partner and found him sitting in the same position as myself, with his eyes fairly dancing with excitement. Our Italian murder mystery occurred some nine months previous and we had quite forgotten it, but the conversation we overheard brought it up afresh, and I could hardlv hold my rjartner still. The couple changed their conversation - moment later, and, although we did our best to listen, we heard nothing more about the 'dead dago.' When the boat reached the city wo were right up alongside the young couple and followed them out in tne crowd. We were so excited that we had not exchanged a word from the time we heard the. bit of talk that gave us a cue.-and some telepathic instinct just impelled both of us to go right ahead. We sat next to the couple iii the street car going up town, my rjartner sitting on one side and I on the Mother. They ' got off at Houston street, and we were ahead and behind them. They walked along Houston toward Broadway and turned down Mnlberry street. They stopped in front of a tenement, and the young man stood talkinsr in the doorway for half an hour or more. We watohed him from a doorway across the street. He bade the girl good night, just shaking her hand,and walked off slowly down the street. We followed him, and at Spring street he turned toward the Bowery. He had not gone far De- fore he turned into a saloon. We en tered a few minutes later and saw him drinking a glass of beer. He chatted familiarly with the bartender, and left after drinking his beer. My partner started after him while I remained to pump the bartender. It was an easy matter to get him into conversation about his late customer. I learned that the young fellow was Jim Burke, and that he lived at 65 Spring street. He had a brother Mike whom the bar tender had known, but whom he had not seen for nearly a year. .Mike dis appeared rather suddenly, the barten der said, but Jim said he had gone to take a better job at Hackettstown. He was a bricklayer by trade. f 'I left the saloon and hurried to the place where I had agreed to meet my pay t ner, He was there, and he had tailed Burke to his home, and alio had learned his name. We agreed to meet at 6- o'clock the next morning and get to work on the case in real earnest, I don't believe I closed my eyes that night, and my partner was around at my house long before the appointed hour. He found me fully dressed and we started out. After talking the matter over We decided, to make a bold move. He was to arrest J Jim Burke, and I agreed to question the girl. I wailed outside the Mul- bery street tenement former, and 1 o'clock she stepped out of the house with a lunch package under , her arm on her way to wor When she got a block away from the house I stepped up to her : . - - " 'Pardon me, -miss,' I said, 'but I am a detective from the Central Of fice and am compelled to place you un der arrest for not telling the police about Mike Burke stabbing that Italian.' ' ... ' 'She drew; away from me as ;I ad dressed her, and her face blanched'as I mentioned 'Burke's name. -. She was scared so much that it was. some mo ments before she could talk. . ; ' a didn't know I . had to tell, she stammered finally, r v. - WelI, that's the law I " said,: be ing now sure of my ground, 'and you will have to o6me with me. ? ; j I don't know janything about -it.

The Chief walked over to Burke and, looking him squarely in the eye, said : " 'So you refuse to tell us now your brother stabbed this man, do you? 'He didn't, I don't . know any- "W i thing about any staDDing,' .ourse answered. ' , ' 'Well, never mmdi'we have some body who has told us, and it doesn't matter so much after all.' x . "The window at which Burke was sitting overlooked a small courtyard through which we were required , to take prisoners to the cells. The Chief had arranged with my partner to have him walk across this courtyard with the girl at a given signal. As the Chief concluded his remark to Burke he walked over to the other window and looked out into the courtyard. At that moment my partner walked out with the girl. " 'Hum,' said the Chief as he nodded in the direction of the yard. Burke looked out involuntarily' and then jumped up with an oath. " 'You see, Burke, there are more ways than one of getting at the truth of things,' said' the Chief quietly. "All Burke did was to grit his teeth and curse under his breath. He still denied that he knew anything of the crime, however, and the Chief gave up the idea of getting anything from him at that time. "My partner and I got a description of Mike Burke and wenti down to Hackettstown. We reasoned that Burke would be working at his trade, and picked up a driver at the station who knew the place thoroughly. , He drove around the various buildings -in course of erection, and we finally ran. across our man. He was so cool and unconcerned when we arrested him that I confess I was quite disconcerted. He ,made no effort to conceal his identity, and the fact that he waived his right of extradition proceedings made me nervous. He denied that he Was the man who committed the crime, and all our efforts to get an admission from him were without sucoess. We got back to town about dusk and the Chief was still in his office. He tried bis hand at the prisoner, but with no satisfactory result. Then he ordered that 'Burke be looked up, A short while after his cell -was locked the doorman remarked to him, of oour3e under instructions, that his brother and the girl were making statements to the Chief up stairs. An incredu lous smile was his reply.. Half an hour latter we took him out of his cell and up to the Chief's office. We opened the door and the prisoner was con fronted with the girl and Jim Burke, who were sitting at the Chief's desk. The Chief was apparently listening to the reading of a typewritten statement by a clerk. Mike Burke' just caught a few words and started toward his brother. Before the brother could say a word Mike had blurted out : " 'You scoundrel! What do you mean?' " 'That's all; lock him up,' said the Chief,- and we carried Mike away tQhis cell. . "Jlis brother Jim and the girl were dismissed by the Chief, and left to gether. The Cnief was unable to get' a word from either, 'We found Murano the next day, and stood Burke in a line of ten men, several o whom were built like him u Wthoufra rnqment's hesi tationMurano p iokedhVovbut aat he slayer of C&ssellaV Burke yrak indicted by the Grand Jury jf or murder in the first degree, but after & long delay he pleaded guilty of manslaughter by ad vice of coTinseh The evidence rwas not verv strong, consisting only of tho testimony of Murano and a fewcir- cumstances.

To this day I don't believe any of the parties concerned in the affair knows just how the arrest was effected. It won Sergeanbies for both my partner and - myself. ''--New York Sun. '.

If for a company luncheon when mushrooms are not thought an extravagance, cut the meat in thin slices until yon have about one poind. Peel one small onion, cut it in very thin slices, and brown it in two tea spoonfuls . of butter. Add a jtable spoonful of flour and stir until free from lumps, and brown. Add two gills of white stock and a gill of. liquor poured from the mushrooms. When the sauce is smooth and hot, lay in the slices of veal; when they are heated through, add half a pint of mushrooms cut in slices, mbye to one side of the fires, and stir in slowly the beaten yolks of two eggs. This dish may be prepared at the table in a chaffing dish. - Cold veal is also excellent cut in dice as for salad, and heated with asparagus tips, canned fresh. Boil two eggs hard, mash the yolks and mix them thoroughly with an ounce of butter. Heat half a pint of milk, add the egg and butter mixture, and when thoroughly mixed add two cup f uls of veal and one cupful of aspara gus.
