DOLLS WITH Lift FACES, Ai NO TWO ARE ALIKE DIED AFTER OPERATIONS. Coroner Acritelll Wrought Up Over Peculiar Deaths in the Post Graduate Hospital. Buffalo Bill put on his glasses yesterday when the horsemen of tho police force came cantering along In the police parade. Colonel William F. Cody was one of the side shows for the police department this time, but he was, for all that, an honored guest, and he wa3 placed on the grand stand in such a way that he could see everything that was to see about the annual show of the police force.

William of the long locks had them pinned up uicely under his kossuth bonnet, so. that nobody would German Artists, With Little Hollander Models, Have Broken Tradition. THE VARIETY OF REAL BABIES. have suspected that they could sweep over his collar and flow down his back. He looked remarkably well, for an elderly person, and he took a most active interest in the show.

The grand stand was, as usual, at the Worth Monument, and there were, in addition to Colonel Cody, a lot of important city officials having their last lick at the police department. Mayor McClellan was there, with the mayor's flag a little bit frayed, and Theodore A. Bingham, the boss of A Display Which Is Interesting. Snub-Noses, Roguish Eyes, Red Hair in Some Cases. Coroner Acritelll Is probing Into th circumstances surrounding the death of four-year-old Myrtle Stahl, who died In the Post Graduate Hospital in Manhattan following an operation for the removal of her tonsils.

The child's carotid artery, which Is Just beneath the tonsils, was punctured, Coroner's Physician O'Hanlcn, who performed the autopsy, says, and she died from internal loss of blood. The coroner's physician says he found that the little girl's stomach was full of blood. Whether the puncture was due to a slip of the surgeon's knife, or electric needle, whatever was used, the coroner has not yet been able to establish, definitely. Coroner Acritelll is considerably wrought up over the case because of a peculiar death which occurred at th same institution some days ago. It was that of Soloman Svirsky of 15S3 Pitkin avenue, Brooklyn.

The autopsy showed the proper distance. It would be impos-' William A. that Svirsky died from cocaine poisoning, and Dr. Weston, who performed the Stevens. Twelfth Inspection slblo to pick out the companies which District.

J. O'Grady, Traffic Precinct seem to make for indestructibility, but this Idea is entirely erroneous. If a pretzel Is not eaten the same day it is made, it has to be used for fuel. A regular pretzel-eater cannot be fooled with stale stock. Those who buy them have an impolite but cautious way of pinching the pretzel at its wekest point, and If it does not feel springy to the touch, the peddler is waved away with a scornful gesture.

That is why the boys who peddle them in the neighborhood of Bronx Park take whatever stock they have left at the end of the day, and feed them to the animals in the Zoo, which, not having to pay, are not particular. That the pretzel is a luxury and not a necessity will be news for a good many people. An old German pretzelist, who has his factory in a cellar on Hester street, worked industriously as he talked Far Bockaway in Gala Dress Annual Near Panic When Pedders Heard That Bakers Were Going to Strike. "No more expression than a doll" will soon1 be an obsolete phrase, for there has been a revolution in doll land, and the old vapid, flaxen haired cherubs have been dethroned. There Is a brand new of dolls now, each with as distinctive an expression and coloring as a live child and radically different from tho old type.

These are the "artist dolls," or kunst-ler puppe, of Germany, which arrived in Brooklyn yesterday. Every doll has been molded and painted by a German artist and is startlingly lifelike. The cunning little maids artd lads of Holland served as models, and in a collection of these dolls every type of Dutch lace and incidentally of Dutch dress is faithfully reproduced. There is as much individuality as there would be among so many live Dutch children roguish faces and stolid iaces, snub noses and pointed noses, smiling mouths ami serious mouths, flaxen braids, brown curls and red tresses. They are not all pretty, these Hanses and Gretchens and Wilholminas.

In fact, at first glance they strike one as being rather homely on the whole. But that is the very secret of their naturalness. Even little tots grow weary of the vacant, meaningless stare of the old-fashioned dolly, and welcome a "baby" that really looks as though it might sometimes cut up pranks or cry or be "sassy." Do you want a lifelike infant, with scarcely any hair to speak of, wonderful eyes, and Just the dawn of an uncertain smile on its parted line? There is oife among tho new Dutch arrivals that is so very natural in form and expression that It is almost uncanny. Only a great student of child nature could so have caught Convention of Fraternity Opens on Tuesday. neaded tho line on a very fino horse.

He wore his glasses, for he is one of the men who cannot see In front of his nose without them. He had a fine staff beside him, and his share of the work was exceedingly well done. But hn did ifot get much applause. His staff consisted of an inspector, McCafferty, five captains, the chief surecon and two the force, in a top hat and frock coat, stood beside him, and there was also Dan Slattery, who writes pieces for the papers occasionally signed pieces, too about the police force, and who had a silk hat on. just liko the boss, and a frock coat, also, and trousers with creases in them.

Mr. Slattery was very nice to the reporters, and let them stand where they wanted to stand, and got bits of information for them, as ho enthusiastically said, just as he did when he was a reporter himself. Colonel Cody and the commissioner, and Mr. Slattery had other company of merit on the grand stand with them, the Rev. Dr.

Van Do Water and Controller Metz, and Borough President Coler, and the head of the department of parks, and a lot of pretty women, too, decked in spring raiment, with flowers and feathers in their big hats and tho daintiest of shades in their dresses. In fact, tho rainbow garb of the handsome women who were on tho reviewing stand cast into the shadow the somber habilimentB of the men folks. The women and the mayor and the other officials and private persons, and Buffalo Bill, got into the range of the man with the moving picture machine who turned his crank with great industry in the sunny street when the Mayor and Mr. Bingham got up on the grand stand. He must have used up miles of films, for there were moving pictures under the best photographic conditions of the Mayor as he pinned every medal on the honor men who had received medal awards for personal bravery.

On Tues day evening a monster parade of the visiting delegates will be held, and it is ex While the police band was in front of the grandstand, ready to play a triumphal air, the mayor, with his hat off, stepped down and mado the presentations. The two Brooklyn men who got medals were William A.

Stevens, who secured tho Bell prize for risking his life at College Point to save men who had fallen Into the water, and Clarence C. Smith of the Williamsburg Bridge force, who got tho Brooklyn Citizens' medal, the finest thing of the sort, much more valuable intrinsically than all the other badges combined, for risking his life, on the bridge tower to save a madman from killing himself. After the presentation of the medals there was a brief pause, while some men from the Street Cleaning Department swept up Fifth avenue, and then the brilliant pageant enme along, to the music of many bands. For an hour and thirty minutes the thing lasted. The Brooklyn contingent was spread about, for there were Brooklyn men in charge of some of the Manhattan regiments, Inspector Sweeney, for example, in charge of the First Regiment; Inspector George Hoiahan, sitting like a centaur, with his adjutant, George Dippold, in charge of the Third Regiment, including only men from Manhattan precincts; Inspector Patrick J.

The head of the parade got to the graifd stand about noon, and there was something doing from that pected that fully 2,000 men will be In line. The convention will open in St. Mary's nine on until 1:30 clocK, when the Mayor left the stand for good. The Mayor and the Commissioner rode up, with a mounted escort, some time before Lyceum at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning.

"You know," he said, as made sixteen knots a minute, "dot der vedder has eferyding to do mit our plzness.

When it was suggested that, even on rainy days the peddlers might visit the apartments of their customers and sell the dainties in this way, the baker laughed, and Eaid it would be no use. as the peddler would probably be kicked down stairs for frying to make people spend money foolishly when they were not out for a day's fun.

At best there is a very poor living in tho pretzel peddling business, as it seems the merchants who keep stands at which the succulent frankfurter is sold, have it, in for the pretzel men who interfere with their business, as one good pretzel at a cent is as filling as a sausage and a roll at a nickel.

Old men with wonderfully bushy whiskers, women with shawls on their heads, and small boys, all carrying baskets, gathered In groups In Hester and Eldridge streets, Manhattan, which is the centre of the pretzel industry, and discussed- the supposed calamity with bated breath. Even the splendid police parade, passing a few blocks away, did not act as a counter attraction, the question being whothor there would bo any pretzels to peddle or not. Their fears were soon set at rest, however, for the supply of the quaint foodstuff was as plentiful as ever, and prices ruled the same as Friday.

They cost two for a cent, wholesale, and retail for a cent each, with perhaps an occasional sale to a plunger with a large family, at six for five.

There were three regiments In this brigade, each commanded by au inspector. The inspectors were John J. O'Brien, Miles O'Reilly and John F. Linden. The marching of the men from Brooklyn was very good and proved most creditable to the captains and commanding officers.

The final brigade in the parade was the Fifth, with Inspector John F. Flood in charge. This consisted of the irregulars, the bicycle men, the harbor squad, the electrical bureau, the motor cycle men and the mounted men. They all made a fine display.

The expert stands at a bench and plucks by main strength from the wad of dough just enough to make one pretzel. He rolls this to the proper length, and then, with a slick twist of the wrist, makes the bow-knot that identifies the pretzel from all other things on land or sea.

History does not record the name of the inventor of the pretzel, but It is said that he got the original design from studying tho sculptures on the tombs In Egypt.

Just why the police dogs were assigned to the Brooklyn division and why they were tagged on behind the new-borough inspector, as if trailing him to his lair, is not known.

Every dog was in the hands of a patrolman, presumably paid $1,400 a year by the city just for the purpose of keeping track of the dogs, and every dog was uniformly muzzled in a way that would have m.jde Henry Bergh turn in his grave. The muzzles were like horse nose bags, perforated and of sole leather. Tho poor things had a dreadful time of it, for the day was warm and they plainly suffered. They are not uniform in breed at all, and their coats were rusty and shaggy. The men in the line of march were fine looking fellows, "well set-up" from the military standpoint and the tubby persons on the force were left in the stations, in reserve.

There were one or two or three men, maybe in the line who were stout, but the mass of the men had clean waist lines and marched with their heads in the air like real soldiers.

Mr.

Buck keeps four pretzel experts, and he said they were all at work yesterday. Those who are not familiar with the pretzel have a notion that once a pretzel is made, it will last forever. The hard, glazed surface and the tough substance from which it Is constructed, ums up me average impression. The-very lack of doll prettiness and the discovery of real human characteristics in the strange little countenances, are positively fascinating. Some of the dear little Deutchers are pretty, though, and the very handsomest ones have a special charm on account of the indefinable human expression.

Theirs is a beauty far more appealing than the pink chubbiness that has reigned supreme for so long. The eyes are deep set and expressive, the hair is soft and fluffy and not too precisely curled, the cheeks are not always plump and exactly even; some of their chins have tiny dimples. There is no generalizing about these delightful "kiddies." because no one is like any other one. Some of them, if they're dressed alike, may look as though they were sisters or brothers, but they are not duplicates. For example, a small girl and boy in white sweaters and caps, all ready to go skating, very evidently belong to the one family.

If two look alike at first glance, closer inspection will show that one has a twinkle in its eye that the other can't claim, or that one has a characteristic winkle near his mouth, or hair of a different color from the other. The dolls are the work of artists who carefully mold the features in some clay composition that becomes hard and durable. Then the coloring is applied to eyes and l'ps and checks by skilled hands. Sometimes the paint seems to be almost too thick and garish at first sight, and shows up as in an oil painting, but it Is a relief from the former mechanical pink-and-whiteness. A few models are made from casts instead of being sculptured individually, like so many statues.

Then there are some bisque dolls, also, that are marvels of beauty and expression. They have a waxen finish that makes them especially attractive, and although the bisque favorites of old, they have distinctive features and are wonderfully human. Yesterday, for the first time in scheme. They dashed past the grand stand at a thirty-mile an hour clip, having been given a suitable distance for the run. And they stopped their chug-chugging steeds in a jiffy after the stand had been passed.

There were policemen, real men. too. who had to go through monkey shines to show Just what could be done in the ways of a spectacle.

There was no attempt to make them climb up to the grand stand like the zouaves in vaudeville, but they did pretty nearly everything else that was undignified, with their arms raised and their roattails bobbing about, while they were on the "double" and run. Buffalo Bill looked as if he would have liked to have borrowed the policemen for his show.

Then the horses came and to show how they were trained they were put through evolutions, with the men. The steeds were all in good condition and had glistening coats and looked fit in every particular. And the horse part of the show was fine, indeed, for they wheeicd and Galloped and formed into squares and did other things that might some day bo needed in riotous times. And Buffalo Bill looked enviously at General Bingham when it was all going on. and clapped his hands like a young enthusiast and seemed to be very much pleased, indeed.

Far Rockaway people are protesting against the continuance of the old garbage crematory, on Remsen avenue, and will urge the borough officials to have it removed. The crematory was built prior to consolidation, and was at that time in a sparsely settled section.

Since then, however, the section has berome built up, and the stencbc3 which emanate from the crematory are to be nauseating, while the presence of the plant has tended to retard advancement of realty values In the neighborhood. Democrats of Woodhaven, feeling the need of a club of their own, have organized the West End Conrad Gafbe Democratic Club. A few evenings ago about thirty representative citizens of the Third and Fourth Wards met at Louis Langenhagen's Hall, corner of Perry place and Grafton avenue, to talk over the matter of forming a club that would be of material value to the whole community, and at the same time be a home for its members when a suitable building shall have been erected. George Conklin was- made temporary chairman, while Charles Templiu acted as secretary. Assemblyman Conrad Garbe spoke at some length on the needs of a substantial club of this kind in the West End.

Others who made remarks were Louis Richard. Charles Kimmerling, Joseph Wittmann and George W. Betz. Michael Depp was elected temporary treasurer.
