A11 Intorost lug Supplementary State-ment by Mr. Palmer .

As a self-constituted arbiter between con-flicting Interests Dr. R. C. Vreeland la any-thing but a shining success. This ia provedby the subjoined supplementary statementmade yesterday by Edmund P. Palmer, untilrecently local .representative of the DoverGas, Light, Heatand Power Company, whosoaffidavit in refutation of an Index-Journallie the ERA printed last week. Mr. i'almermakes affidavit to the truth of his supplementary statement, though to mauy thismust seem like an act of supererogation, forthe statement iteelf beurs internal evidence ofita truth. Mr. Palmer's statement is a.s fol-lows; . . .

flmTOit OP THE EHA;BIB,—In reply to the statements made' lit

the respective affidavits of Manager DavidYoung, of the Dover Electric- Lij hti, Cota-pauy, and DftlWbe^C.Vreelaud.rwish towytUaton. Jaiio 12 I saw Dr, Vreeland infront of the Mansion House, in Doven Aconversation started, in the course of whichlie made the remark to me that It was ashame that we should come in there to com-pete with a. ho me company composed of .citi-zens of Dover. He intimated that a'tf' themeeting of the Council that night the oldelectric lighting contract would be annulledand a new contract entered Into, and that wewould then be left. He euggeated a meetingwith Mr. Young and said he thought that theDover Electric Light Company; would makea proposition for our compuny to withdraw.'1 told htm that I was simply here as a repre-sentative of the company and liad no author-ity to acrept any proposition, but that if Mr.Young wanted to make a proposition I waswilling to submit it to the officers of thecompany. He left me, saying that he wouldgo down and see Mr. Young and make anappointment for me to meet him. About halfan hour later bo camo back to the hotel andsaid that he bad seen Mr. Young and advisedhim to make a proposition to pay #T>00 tor u»to withdraw, and that Mr. Young wanted moto call upon him. I went down to the offlcaif the Dover Electric Light Company and

saw Mr. Young and said to him that X camoab the suggestion of Mr, Vreeland in regardto a proposition that lie. (Mr. Vreeland) badmade, ; Mr. Young told me that ho wouldcall a meeting of the Directors for twoo'clock and would advise me at three o'clockif. ttuy propoeitiou would be roado,- Theproposition in question, I wish to state em-phatically, was the one suggested by Mr. Vree-land, and in regard to which I bad said that Iwould Buhmit It to the company, as I had noauthority In tbe matter. At three o'clock Itelephoned to Mr. A. B. Wllgus, jr., treas-iirerofthoDovor Gas, Light, Heat and PowerCompany, informing him of tbe talk aboutcancelUug the lighting contract, and substi-tuting for It a now ten years1 contract, and Iftlso stated to him .thesubstance of the propq-sition suggested by Dr. Vreeland, J, e,, toquttthe field upon payment of $500. I also statedthat a meeting of the director* of the DoverElectric Light Company: was then being held.Mr. WilguB answered that no proposition ofthe kind would ho considered under any cir-cumstances ; that the company was in the fieldto stay aud that he would bo in Dover thatevening prepared to make a new propositionas promised iu the letter -sent to the CityCouncil two weeks before, aud in compliancewith the request; made by tbe StreetCouunit-tee in their report on the company's applica-tion. At five o'clock Mr. Young met menear the hotel and stated that the directorshad met and decided not to make any propo-sition, that he wan sorry, and thought.itwould have been better for them to have,done so. I told htm. that I hadcommunicated with, the compuny by tele-phone about throe o'clock and had advisedthem of the scheme the Electrlo Lightpeople luul in regard to the new lightingcontract, and also of the suggestion, of. amoney consideration to withdraw from thefield made by Dr. Vreeland, and that ourfolks had answered me that it was entirelyout of the question; that no.proposition towithdraw would be entertained. About 6:15o'clock Dr. Vreeland come over to the . hotelaiidsat down by me and Bald that he hadheard that no proposition would be made. Inthe course of the conversation which followedI told him that I had heard that if the DoverElectric Light Company got the franchisethey would build a small building next totheir present plant and lay. about a mile ofpipe, just enough to enable them to hold, thefranchise. Dr. Vroeland Bald, 'that's 'jmtwhat they would do if you; were out of thefield,1 aud I think they are making a greatmistake in not making you an offer.; ,.

"Some days previous to tho above conver-sation with Dr. Vreoland Alexander Kanousemet me on the street and la tho course of ourconversation h<i Btated to me that our com-pany had no Chance to get into the city ofDover, and that it would be best for., us towithdraw. Ho also said that the ^SlectricLight people had the power, and were In theposition to prevent our securing a franchiseand that if it won necessary they would spend$3,000 to keep U9 out. ."•"

somewhat erratic performances. In the lastro races that Battler .has gone he has had a

driver of 150 pounds, the regulation weightThe result of these two races does not provethat overweight in a driver is euch an impor-tant factor as horsemen deem it.

PART III.We declare that the act of 1873 * * *

-esulted in an appreciation of gold and a cor-•eeponding fall in prices."

Since it is shown from official statigtiosthat there was no appreciation of gold, but,m the contrary, a vast increase in ita pro-luctlon and coinage and an Increase In thejther classes of money of the world, an in-crease much more rapid than that of the[xipulation, the cause of the fall in prices oflommodities must be looked for elsewhere.rhe fall in prices is due to the enormous ln-

iu production, and to tho reduced costif producing aud transporting the products .

of tho farm, factory, forest, and mine. Sen- ,.ator Patter, in his report to the Senate in .;804 on tbe cause of the fall In agriculturalprices, said: "In Kansas it appears from the-eport of tlio Secretary of the Btate Board of.grlculture that it costs 50 cents to raise aUBhel ot wheat; * * * in Pennsylvania

;ue average cost of producing a bushel ofwheat Is about tt> cents. Wheat in Indiatosta but about 18 conta a bushel on the form,3 cents more puts it. aboard ship and 25

cents additional lands Ifc.on the wharves iuliverpool. TbisGO-ceut vrheut from India oom-

l»tes (In our beat marktit.Eugland) with wheatAmerican farms at un average coat of 00

ontB per bushel. * * * Wages of Indiaterm huntU run from 0 to *10 ffints of ourloney per day." Tho samo report shows

bat the coat of producing wheat on tho greatixms In California and tho Dakotas U less

ban half the average cost In the CentralUksissippl valley, wlitlo similar conditionsirevail in Argentine and Australia, which,ihrough tho extrentely low ocean freightsare also competitors with us In all the mar-kets of tbe world. Tlio reduced cost of agri-mltual products, dun to tbe cotnbinatlon'oflow freights and tho use of machinery, finds

parallel iu the reduced coat of manufactur-ing in all lines through similar causes, andalso In the reduction of tbe cost of miningand the production of the precious metaii,

•hlcb thus BUpply tbe money of tbe World at 'greatly reduced cost of that prime measure

»f value, labor.

"We declare that tho act of 1873 * * *ios resulted iu * * * a heavy increase in;Ueburdens of taxation,"

The Increase in tho burdens of federaltaxation are mainly duu to the Increase inexpenditures for pensions, public buildings -and river and harbor Improvements, and anyparty which wouldspocincallydeclareagalnst

continuation of these would quickly finditself repudiated by tbe people.

"Wedeolare that the act of 1873 • .-•.*/ •-_is resulted in * * * a heavy Increase inthe burden of all debte, public and private.11,

The census figures show that the increasein debts since 1873 has been, in a very largeshare of the cases, for the purahas« of faoramor the improvement of farms, Nid that thesections in which this increase in mortgageIndebtedness has been greatest Ljive shown '

reeuit the greatest activity and thegreatest increase in actual wealth and genu-ine prosperity.

We declare that tbe act of 187B * * *has resulted * r- • .the eorichtn«nt of the.money lending class at home aud abroad.^ -

Tho money lending class can only "growrich'1 by the. interest which it receives formoney loaned, and everybody knows thatthe rates of interest have greatly fallen sines1878 and that the opportunity for enrichment

by this moans must consequently have town1

correspondingly reduced. The usurious raluof interest which were possible in many mo-tions of the country prior to 1678 are now Ab-solutely prohibited by State legislation. - <

'•We declare that tbe act of 1873 • • •resulted la * * * tho prostration of in- >dustry and the impoverishment of tbe peo-ple." . ' <

Industry was not "prostrated" or the people.Impoverished" until the success of the Dem-.

ocratio party at tbe polls in 18y3( and ite free •trade legislation which followed paralysed >industry in tbe United States and trans-formed its communities of busy workmeninto idlers, thus bringing "prostration ot in-dustry and impoverishment of the people.'There was never greater prosperity in theUnited States or, any other country than thatof the years^ immediately . preceding theDemocratic success ol i s l a n d never greater"prostration of industry aud impoverishmentof the people" than that which followed thatDemocratic success. It is because' of the'prostration of industry and impoverishment

of the people" through the operations of tbe.Democratic part? that ita leaden now aban-don their time-honored principles and askrestoration to power on a currency propo-sition which has been discarded by the motprogressive nations of the world and is beingrejected by others as rapidly as possible.

" He was a good citizen, interested in allpublic Improvements, and to tbe last ha thor-oughly believed in Chester. It was his idealas a Tillage. He was faithful in his ministry.If I could say but one word to-day in relationis life I would sum it up in this. He wasgood pastor, an untiring student of the word,always carefully preparing his sermom. neverneglecting any department of work. He wasa sympathizing visitor at yoar homes ; yourinterests and cares and Borrows were his in-terests and cares and sorrows. He was onewith you; In all the heart burdens he hadshare ; be loved bis own home aud was idealin its relationship, and he was thus preparedfor ministrations in other homes. He was atrue friend. He was pure and without guile;a man of faith—no one ever heard him utteithelanguage of doubt He believed all tbetruth be uttered. We can almost bear bisvoice now as it emphasized the truths of God'word and invited all to come to tbe Saviour.Very many heeded but if there are any pres-ent who put off the acceptance of Christ, thebest tribute they can bring Uwlay, sweeterthan these beautiful flowers, more befittingthan the words of lore, would be a heart anlife consecrated to God, remembering thewords that be spoke while be was yet with us.

Then as he preached the word if onlyone was guided into the higher life, if onlone was rescued from sin, only one wandererreclaimed, it would have rewarded, but webelieve there were mauy, very many. Andthen the reward of tbe Master's 'well done,good and faithful servant enter then into thejoy of thy Lord

He had oppor-tunities to go elsewhere but he was loyal tothis parish and considered its interest withuntiring unselfish devotion. And now he hascome back at his own request to sleep on thehillside—to rest with the flock he loved. Dii

say sleep ? Rather let ina say to live and tcbrve in a higher sphere until we are gathered

together in tho Father's house. Servant olGod, well done. We sometimes sing: I'm>Ugrfm, I'm a stranger. I can tarry butlight Our bible tells us that our Savloui

has gone to prepare a place for us that w.may behold this gJory. He said, Father,will that those whom Thou hast given me bewith me where I am. Thus absent from thebody means present with the Lord. Thsacred word tells us the day of a man's birthis bettor than the day of his birth. Thirest from their labors—their works follow,

'or our beloved brother to live was Christand to die was gain. His life work had beento teach people how to live and to teach themhow to die. Starting from the foot of thcross he entered Into all the duties of'hornlife. Starting from tbe foot of the cross heentered tbe homes of his people with a bene-diction. Starting from the foot of tho crosshe went out Into all the departments ofChristian work and in faithfulness and withsuccess he met all tbe claims of the commu-nity. Speaking for the Presbytery I bringthe testimony of my brethren to his fidelityand devotion to all the interests of tbe churchof God."

As in Bunyan's picture story,The Celestial Port has come,

Antj the shadow of the gloryBrought the message from our home.

On that peaceful Sabbath morning,As we listened to the word,

Came tbe stroke without a warning,But we Inew ft was the I»rd.

The disease, by which was rivenStrand by strand, the life away.

Was tbe token that was givenWith the message of that day.

But while this mysterious tokenCould unloose tee silver cord

Still the golden bowl unbroken,By the favor of tbe Lord.

Seren more years it* incense gave us.Breathing out the Gilead halm,

Shedding forth tbe love of JesusLike a Benediction P&alni.

Then the Post with a new tokenCome from yonder blessed home,

Lovingly the pilgrim mantle,And the staff thus laid aside,

We have folded with the mortleOf tbe Shepherd and the Guide.

On tbe hill-side, where so often,As he laid our loml to sleep,

Precious words by him were spokfin,While he wept with those who weep.

On tbe hill-dde. where are restingMany of tbe flock he fed,

We have laid him sweetly sleepingWith our precious sainted dead.

While in lives that have been mouldedBy the lives of tbose they love,

They are living here, the cherished,While they live with God above.

Harvests sown by hands now foldedVery many sheaves will yield,

As their own, with work entrusted,Sow and reap, anew the field.

Thus their works do ever follow,Thus they live still on and on,

And amid our grief and sorrow,We may gem, anew, their crown.

Memories, tbe sweet, the tender,On this day have made us one,

WOMAN AND HOME.THE ONLY WOMAN WOOD ENGRAVER

IN ACTIVE BUSINESS.

Tbo Ssxman of the Bed—Pictures In theHome—XJffliteblng the Housework—Un-due Self Conioloninesa—-A Ilrlde'i Sen-

"Keep at a thing, and jou must suooeodafter awhile," eays Mlsa Lola Knight,who If at present tho only auocearful wom-an wood engraver In New York and It issaidtbo only woman In America who Isderotlag herself to that pursuit. 'Thereare records ofwoiueu who engraved unwood In the time of Albreoht JJurer.

Later, alnoe the revival of wood engrav-ing In England, there has been but oneeminent woman engraver, and she wasElizabeth Thompson, daughter of the fa-mous engraver, John Thompson. Hostwomen who have undertaken tho art Inthis oountry studied at some time In thoengraving class at Cooper institute, whichwas started about 98 years ago. Engrav-ing has alio been taught at the Pennsyl-vania Academy of Fine Arts. But bothof these olasses have been abandoned.

One In authority in the art departmentof one of the great magazines said lately:''There wen formerly other worn on on-giavera. Wood engraving 1ms beun largelydriven out by the half tone and proaesswork, whloh is innoh cheaper and In somerare oases qulto as good. The higholassmagazines employ for their illustration amlitaro of both—that is, tho half tone pintola supplemented by tho-work of the en-graver, The obeapor magazines use fcho un-touched half tonou. Theretouohing of halftone plates Is done by those who were form-erly wood engrAvers and requires na high adegree of skill as wood engraving. Thereare no women engaged in that; lino nowexcepting Mis* Knight and a MIBB Powell,who dlroots tho art deportment of TheInternational Magazine in Boston. Therenever wore but a few. Curiously enough,in the past our, magazines made a greateffort to develop women engravers; but,with the eioeptlou of Hiss Powell, nowoman attained to the. first rank, Whythey did not take to It I cannot tell."Biles Powell graduated from the highschool at her home, beginning lior artstudies at the same time with privateteachers, her health not permitting her totake a college course. From hor earlychildhood «2JO had her own saddle horse

; HUB LOU KNIGHT.tnd learned to fence and use a rifle withher brother*, her pleasures (because of herfather'! dosln to keep her as inuah m pos-sible In the open air) being the same astheirs. After leaving school she visited anunola In San Francisco, making a generalton* of the west alone, and then came toNew York and studied for three years InCooper Union in the engraving olass, tak-ing lessons in pen and Ink drawing In pri-vate studios. At the end of that time she« w that to oompe^e with the best she mustfirst b a n practical experience in oommer-oial work, through which alone aeonraoyand detail are obtained, while In her threoyears'work In Cooper institute she hadbad only artlstlo work, In whloh effect 1Bthe desirable object.

Seeing an advertisement of "EngraverWanted/1 In the Illustrating house of J. J.Ryder & Co. of Providence, she replied,not venturing to say that she was a girl.When alter some oorrosirocdcnuQ tbfl truthfell out, «he received a letter saying thatIt would hardly be best to consider em-ploying her, as among the large numberof employees In the place there were nowomen. She replied that that would notstand in her way and that she was used tomen and could stand It If they could. Shewas aooepted and worked there two yoars,from 7 in the morning until 6 at night,with an hour for luncheon.

" I shall always feel gfftte/ul to thatfirm/' aba declares, "for its patiencewith me. At first I spoiled many blocksand did not earn what was paid mo.There was never a coarse word allowed tobe spoken among the men in the engrav-ing department while I was there, nor didI ever have any shocking experiences. Itwai only the unfailing kindness andoourtesy I met with that made It possiblefor me to take that training. For a longtime I knew that my work did not oom-pare with that done by tho men, but be-fore I left I could do as good a job as anyman In the plaoe.'*—New York Tribune.

Tl» I M M I of the Bed.A woman specialist has' arisen, says an

exchange, who calls upon as to take les-sons in sleeping. Beauty sleep, she de-olares, Is a delusion and a snare.

"We ipend,1' goes on this doctrinaire,"eight honrsof the 84 In bed, and In thatlime postures are assumed that work In-Jury not only to a woman's health, but toher possible good looks. One girl had noDhesfc I watched her day after day to findout the cause; but was completely bailleduntil I saw her while asleep. She shrug-ged her shoulders forward so far that It'sa wonder the lungs wero not squeezed flat.

"The wise woman who wants to rlsofrom sleep reatod and with her faoo oast Inthe Unei ot beauty should Bleep on u nar-row bed, so there will bo no room for herto distort hor limbs by throwingthem intogrotesque positions. On this bed thereshould bo a good mattress and one small,ratbur hard pillow. Tha bedolotblngshould be of light weight, but warm, andthe room well ventilated and comfortablyoooL On this oouah the would be beautyshould lie flat on hor bnok, arras and legsstraight. To make a ohango from thoban* she ahould learn to sleep first on onoside and then on the other. 'Oh, I alwayssleep on the left side,1 and 4I can't sleep ex-oept on my right side,'are remarks contin-ually heard among women. The dress-makers for suoh sleepers £nd that paddingIs needed on one side, and that In tho aide'I always sleep on.' Somo,people whenasleep sorew their faoca into moat gro-tesque shapes, and thereby, Instead of get-ting beauty Bleep, add a wrinkle or two ev-ery week or dBenen those already oarved.This applies particularly tpthoso creases

about tho oyes. Perlmps you aro young,but hlnta of wrinklos suddenly apptmr, nn-pareatly without nny cnuse. Find out ifyou do not fiquunzo your eyes tightly to-gether when going to sleep, us a child dougwhen it mnkea believe to pleop, Munywomen draw tho corners of thoir mouthsdown «nd so produce furruwB from thonose to the corner of the mouth and downtho side of tho chin.

"To got beauty sleep go to bod thinkingof the plcHBitnt things that will befall you.The eyelids should rest lightly over theeyes, UB if u fluttering breeze sweepingacrofls tho fnco would blow them wideopen. Tho lips should meet cosily. Themouth should novor bo open.'1

Pictures In tho Hutuo.After the bookB no one thing seta tlio

key of a home's refinement an do the pic-tures Imaging thero, and when one consid-ers how comparatively few luiow reallyanything about art, and yet how ready thomost ignorant nUniya aro to solcnt pio-turoH, it IB not to be wonderod at that somany othorwlso nttniotlve rooms oro vul-garized for tho inititJitod by clumsy COJD-positions in gaudy colors, often richly audoonspiouously framed, 'i'lio QSOUBO forthis sort of sacrilege oneo was that almostany picture was more pleasing than un-broken expanses of tare walls, but now,wbon thero aro go many inoxponslvo waysof upholstering side walfo, thoronoRd reallybe no bare spaces. A perfectly plctm-elossroom 1R more attractive than ono with in-artistic "works of art." A eofe course forthose who aro not perfectly suro of theirtasto In this rospect Is to eschew colors al-together. Suoh a one may cover tho ehlowalls of hor drawing room plulnly with afabric of dull rod or silver greon of middletono, and on this hong a very few photo-graphs, oopieB.of old masters, a raouotypoor two unii somo small otchings.

One may eomotlines find nt a law pricepretty etchings, among tho work of ud-vaneQd students, and ooonsloually that ofOBtabliBhcd nrtlsts drifts into suoh Bales.Another hnppy addition to a collectionore lithographs—not the gaudy chromolithographs of the tea store, but the elect-ive black nnil white- prints of tho strongwork of the boat artists, who since tho ro-oent centennial revival hnvo taken upzealously this long despised branch of art.A worthy ambition for an iimiiteuraolleot-or would bo toward tho possession of nlithograph by Whistler, the acknowledgedmaster of this sort of work.

Lightening the Houiework.Only by extromo onre, whore there Is

but one pair at bands at tho holm, can thomanagement of a household bo sustainedwith comfort, allowing a few hours Correst and reading. In such a householdeverything should be done as simply aspossible. No extra tucks on the pillowshams or cases, fewer ruffles to flute, ta-bles painted to avoid eoourlng, eta. Ruf-fles, tunks and fanoy work may look well,but not half so well as a happy, contentedmother, whose face, Is not marked withlines of care and weariness. Llttlo willthe babies care how many tucks wore inthoir tiny dresses when they become menand women. Bettor a thousandfold willbo the sight of n bright mother's fnco thanone wearied. and fretful, grown cross andmorose, or, it may be, gone forever, withquiet, folded hands, resting at last.

Too many women who Imvo been bright,happy maidens sink Into dull, stupid, faultfinding wives and.mothers. Why IB ltPSome may fanoy bacauso their duties arobeyond thoir woak bodies. And BO theyare. Sometimes the husband Is responsi-ble Ju driving bis business and work andpaying no hoed to his wife's health anjconveniences, but In a larger number ofcases tho i.ifo herself is really at fault. Innearly every household tho work can boout down and simplified—that is, can beIf we but overoome some of tho old house-wives' notions In regard to work. If thoywould only realize that a house can bokept—and neatly and prettily, too—'With-out suob un Immense load of quilts as re-quires months and even years to accumu-late!

The poom that delighted tho maidonjhould no IOBB pleaso the mntron. Theflowora that wore gathered upon her nativehills in girlhood should bo plucked as joy-ously when accompanied by her own chil-dren.—Btomo Visitor.

Margaret Fuller.Many of i ur contemporaries oan write

moro symmetrical essays than MargaiotFuller ever wrote. All hor work'Is trag-menttiry, but what about tho Illuminatingoritiolsm, the suggestive, original thoughtIn her letters, her diitrles and her booksPShe was the first to say certain tfalngB, thefirst; to Introduce certain great subjectsami great man to tho American people.Alnny opinions whloh now poBS unchal-lenged were first oppressed by MargaretFuller. Sho takes a front rank amongAmerican orltios. Her oritlcul estimateswero ahead of her time, in some wises pro-phetio. £bo takes this rank among ourforemost critics because of the qualityrat hor than tho quantity of her work.Thus un occasional sentence hits moro InIt than whole bookB of some of our presentday critics.

Did nny one over write anything betterof tho kind than her famous descriptionof Carlylo or anything moro suggestiveand luminous with meaning than her essuyB on Goutho mid on modern Englishpoetsp l'he "lyrlo glimpses" which Emer-son found so helpful are helpful still. ItIs in her generosity In giving us what sheherself calls "alews and Impulses" that horchief power as u oritlo lies.

In PurcliBnInu Dress Goods.Havo wool oil materials "shrunk" (or

you by tho douler. Those shrunk by steamwill not spot with rain, and will keepsnapo aftor being ninde up.

This shrinking may be done at homo bysponging the material with clear water, ayard at a time, thon rolling it on a brooin-etlck to dry. Do not fold or Iron it.

Loosely woven goods should be linedwith silk or fine sateen. T.o teat materialsadvertised as "all wool" apply a lightedmatch to a small sample, and if it con-tains any cotton, a flnmo will run alongthe lino whero tho cotton is. •

Oorded Bilks, unless of very good qual-ity, are likely to oraok.

Whalebones may be made nearly as goodas new by Booking them in warm water,then bending thorn Into shape-again.

Silesia IS good lining for waists that arenot to bo lined with silk, and neroaltno Istho boat; for skirt linings.

The beads in bead trimming should bestrung on wire instead of thread.

Real and imitation laoe should never becombined on one garment, if lace puck-ers whon the thread of the edge Is gentlypulled, do not buy it. Novor press old laoowith a hot iron, but dampen It, then rollon a bottle filled with hot water. Whondry, It will look Ilka now.—Housewife.

Tlie Vlrtnu of Hot Milk.Hot milk Is tho beat and newest cure for

all complexion Ills. If the face is wrin-kled, sallow, frookled or otherwise affllot-od, It Is said that hot1 in Ilk Is a sure cure.The face should be washed every night InthJB preparation, and it will feel wonder-fully refreshed, while tho Bkin becomesvory eoft and white. What is good for theface Is, of course, also good for the body,and a little milk poured into the bath Isclaim oil to be positively magical in remov-ing fatigue. Some of the most celebratedbeauties have habitually bathed In an allmilk bath. This Is expensive, but it oer-tahily Is reiTiarJrohly health and hernitygiving. Hot milk Is also a good tonic,especially for pooplo who aro likely to findthat cold milk or oraini makes them bil-ious. As ft drink it Is far ahead of anyother liquid. A simple drink of hot milkwill induce a dreamless Bleep of wonder-fully recuperative powers.

Hoboken tu's month before the paymastermade us his regular monthly visit. Beforethe young gentleman paid his board he gotpretty well loaded and in company with threeother fellows of the same ilk he started up toBrooklyn, or iu that direction, to load upsome more. The whiskey he had on beforeaud tho stuff he got at the pond—I beg yourpardon I think they call It a lake now—didnot Boetn to mix very well. At any rate bislegs got BO tangled they refused to carry hisbody any longer ; his head got so drowsy thathe lay down up about the lock somewhere tosleep it off and while ho slept bin friends wentthrough his pockets, at least ho gives thename of one of them, who he says did it. Butthe oath of a fellow with muddled brain andlegs tangled by whiskey would not go a greatway In a court of law.

I consider selling liquor as Jegitimatea bus-iness, properly butted and bounded, as keep-ing store. But look out for the bounding.

I tell you, good temperance people, who-ever Is to blame for thin particular incident,some of the places In the. neighborhood of tholock want looking after right quick. Theythink because they pay license In Sussexcounty they can do as they please. Well,perliaps.

At any rate soraofolks have been a law unto themselves lougenough,

I was over to Stanhope the other night andI saw a married man acting a good deal likea fool and finally falling down on one of thehotel stoops. A lady passing said " Tiioro fathe kind of things that shop turns out." Thefact was the man hud uot beeii in the hotelat all. He was drunk whon ho came there,but appearances were against the hotel.

A few minutes afterwards I mot a Morriscounty man and paid to him, "Why don't youpeople keep your drunks over on your ownside ? Here ore people accusing the Stan-hope landlords of making, this man drunkwhen the fact Is he was drunk when he cameover the canal bridge. Probably too muchcanal water did it," Says he to me, says ho :"That man Is a flrst-class mechanic. Be canalmost always raise money enough to getdrunk on. Last winter himself and familywere on the town. The first money he gotha got drunk on. It did not matter If thetown were keeping his family." There maybe fun iu getting blind drunk but I nevercould see where It catne In. Tho loss of hismonth's pay may be a good lesson to the PortMorris man. No Bir, It may be a good lessonfor somebody else, but the chances are hewill do the same thing over and take the samescurvy companions with him the first timehe has an opportunity.

The World said the other day: *'Switzer-land has a million depositors in saving bankswith an average for each family of $275 incash deposits. I t would be hard for anycountry in the world to show a better record."I reckon the World did not have its statisticswith it when it wrote that.

The State of New York alone has 1,708,417Bavlngs bank depositors, with «741,474,845.This Is an average for each account of $420.I do not know how many persons the Worldcalls a family, but there are six and a halfmillion inhabitants in tho State of New York,an average of $114 for every person In theState. In Switzerland the savings bank de-posits amount to $118,000,000 and there is apopulation of 8,000,000, an average of $30 foreaoh person In the country. New Tork Statebeats Switzerland three times over. In 1806Massachusetts had $430,000,000 deposited, anaverage to each depositor of $337. Connect-out had an average of $413; Iowa, $302; Ohio,$411; Oregon, $GWt; California, $833. EvenNew Jersey averages nearly $257 to each de jpositor. What la the matter with the UnitedStates?

'Twasever thus. Tbe old adage concerning thefolly of attempting to make a silk purse outof a sow's ear forcibly presents itself to ourmind-

In conclusion, Mr. Editor, we desire to eaytbat while we recognize and acknowledge tbetranscendant ability of certain of your coad-jutors to trap tbe unwary, we do not believethat even with tbe aid of your versatile penthey can beguile us into buying a gold brick.

"Wouldn't au Automaton Do as TVelllIt seeznu ludicrous that Councilman Car-

hart, who moved a written resolution at thelast meeting of tbe City Council, which beclaims to have carried In bis pocket for sev-eral weeks previous to its adoption, should beunable subsequently, through lack of famili-arity with its subject matter, to Identify thepaper by any other token than tbe creases onthe back earned by long handling.

Why could not tome ingenious mechanicconstruct an automatic Councilman on tbeprinciple of tbe nickel in the slot machines,that could perform all tbe duties of tbe officenow filled by Mr. Carhart, which at proaentappear to be merely tbe perfunctory act ofpresenting to tbe City Council for their con-sideration the resolutions prepared by Man-ager Young? It would be just as efficient inits action if properly adjusted, and then thinkof the saving tbat -would accrue to toe cityb j the use of such a device, as doubtless suchan automaton could be rented on tbe pay-ment of a small yearly royalty to the makerand its use after the expiration of the presentCouncil'* term of office could be dispensedwith.

CnarwcteiiBtlcally Index*.We quota from la*t week's Index the fol-

lowing:The tactics of the IBON ERA pursued toward

tbe Dover Electric Light Company is tbegame that its columns teemed with about tbeRichardson & Boynton furnace and rangeworks before they located here. The ERAbad these two concerns figured oat as n. g. IDall sort* ofr ways and means; bat, notwith-standing this miserable guerilla bushwhack-ing, these local businesses are moving along•very nicely and Appear abundantly able topay as they go, and no thanks to the ERA. orits President and a few others who tried tohave it otherwise.

The Index simply lies. Nothing can befound In tbe flies of the ERA. that can be con-strued as being in any sense antagonistic tothe location here of tb« Rich'ardson & Boyn-ton Company's plant. On the contrary, theEBA did everything In its power to bringthat end about In fact, over $2,000, or 80per cent of the $7,000 raised by the people ofDover to pay on the purchase price of theland now occupied by that company was paidby parties Interested In tbe Dover PrintingCompany. The editor of the Index, frommotives of self-interest, seeks to distract at-tention from issues that vitally concern tbepublio-outslde of himself and his fifty-eighteo-stockholders—and to accomplish bis pur-pose he resorts to bis old tactics of falsehoodand misrepresentation.

With regard to tbe EBA'S attitude towardsthe Dover Electric Light Company, we wishto say that up to the time when tbat com-pany placed itself in the position of wantingto run the town and to monopolise its light-ing Interests, tbe ERA said only the kindliestthings about the company. We have, be-sides, paid without contention, bills for light-ing that were, to say tbe least excessive, due,as tbe company's manager has since explained,to a defective meter, and which he has sinceadjusted, although there has been no remisgion of acknowledged overcharges. This, wemay say, we did for the very reasontbat it was a local company. But whentheflfty-nlnestockbolders of tbe Dover Elec-tric Light Company place themselves in theattitude of saying that the rest of tbe 1,600voters and tax-payers of the city shall paytribute to their company for all time becausethey are a local concern, and that for thatreason there shall be no competition, theEBA, as a newspaper devoted to tbe bestinterests of the community as a whole, begsItiavfl to dfment, even tboagh our courselocorato tbe tender susceptibilities of EditorHummel and his fifty-eight confreres.

GOVXRNOU GriggB, who has been lookedupon as a candidate.for tbe United StatesSenate to succeed James Smith, Jr.. has an-nounced that bo Is not a candidate and cannotaccept the offlco. He does not like to pleadpoverty, bo says, but it la a fact that he can-not afford to bo a United States Senator,notwithstanding tlio attractions the highoffice possesses for bim. The withdrawal ofthe Governor as a candidate would neem toleave a dear field to ex-Congreasman JohnKean, who has long been mentioned In con-nection with tbo place. It Is also announcedtbat James Smith, Jr., will not be a candi-date for ro-eloction and the only name men-tioned among the Democrats to succeed himin that of ox-CongreBsmaa Johnston Cornish.

week passed over Mayor Pierson's veto; whiletbat new public lighting contract was broughtto tbe Council meeting by Mr. Young in per-son and was banded by him to CouncilmanCarhsxt after tbe meeting had begun. More-over, when by reason of Councilman Lyon'evigorous opposition the prearranged plan torailroad tbe contract through failed, Councilman Carbart dutifully returned both copletof the contract to Mr. Young's custody, afact which tbe EBA "got onto" when on themorning following the meeting in questiontbe EBA went tbe rounds of the Councilmanictrio in question in quest of a copy of tbe con-tract that it might acquaint its readers withIts terms,

Ob yes, Mr. Young has prored himselfquite a handy man—and so disinterested.When Chairman Raynor wanted to submitfigures of the cost of public lighting in otherplaces, Mr. Young was right at his elbowwith figures ready to hand. Tbat they wereall high was, of course, unfortunate, butwhat could one expect. This Is not tbe ageof tbe millenium.

There is evidence piled on evidence that inthese matters to vital to the Interests of some1,500 voters Hesrs. Raynor, Carbart andBturapf are acting only on tbe behest of Man-ager Young, who represents, counting him-self, W stockholders of the Dover ElectricLight Company. And so it occurs to theEBA to ask llr. Young: " Does this not lookas if an ante-election agreement is being c*rjrled outr

TIi at *'Salary Grab.Tha Index has seen a new Ifgbt. "Tbe

people do not want their servants, tbe CityFathers, to work for them for nothing, BO ar-duouily, day and night," our erratic contem-porary said but week. Wben in 1830-4 aRepublican City Council Increased the sal-aries of the City Clerk, City Treasurer andRecorder of Vital Statistics $50 a year eachand the salary of City Attorney Pitney from•100 to 1250 a year tbe Index could not con-tain itself for righteous (7) indignation overwhat it waa pleased to call "that salary grab."Animadversions like the following wereprinted week after week for months there-after:

**If our city officers cannot work for theirpresent good pay and easy labor they shouldresign. There are lots of good men In theirown party, Republican, who would jump attbe chance to hold thur places and do good,reliable work without asking or looking foran increaaa In salary."

"The four members of the Conncil re-mained steadfast in their opposition to anyincrease of salary to our already well paidcity officers. Tbe people will stand fast bythem for their efforts In behalf of economyami In the interests of the taxpayers at large/

"A poor excuse to vote for the salary in-crease ii no better than none, the taxpayers•ay."

"Tbe absent member of tbe Conncil cameup smiting- for the increase of salary to ouralready well paid officers. Taxpayers willnot forget it"

" Some folks Bay the people will soon for-get all about the salary grab affair. Maybethey will and maybe they wont"

"The people of Dover could not force any-body to be the Mayor or a member of tbeCommon Council against their will. He cer-tainly must give his consent to run for anyoffice within the gift of the corporation, andwhen elected Is not bound to serve unless bechooses. The whole thing in a nutshell Isthis: Some men like tbe office for tbehonors of office, even with or without pay ,others, where a salary is paid, like office forthe money there is In it, and the latter aregenerally on the lookout for sometblnir to

Editor Hpencer*s Bete Noire.THE subject of taxation is full of pitfalls

for tbe editor of the Morris Journal. Hav-ing read f n the MarrUtoicn Express that ata meeting of the Board of Aldermen of thatcity Assessor Weir "reported tbat the taxrate this year would be forty-six cents per$100," Editor Spencer makes this comment;

That is *4.C0 per tl.OOO in Horristown.Dover's tax rate last year was $4.27 per $100.What is the matter with Dover V

For the enlightenment of Editor Spencerwe will explain that the rate of 40 cento per9100 reported by Assessor Weir is the city taxrate, to which there will be added in due timethe district school tax, county tax and Btateschool tax. MorristownTs tax rate last yearwas f 1.75 per $100, made up as follows : Cityrate, 48 cents per $100; district Bchool tax,34 cents; county tax, 75 cents; and Btateschool tax, 28 cents. Editor Spencer had bet-ter leave tbe subject of taxation alone. It ishis bete noire.

WHAT a qulbbler Editor Spencer is. Commenting In this week's issue of the MorrUJournal on an article in tbe Jerseyman oflast week under tbe caption "More TroubleIn Dover," in which tha Jerseyman tells bowthe members of the Fire, Lamps and WaterCommittee of the City Council of Dover areID a peck of trouble over the feet well, EditorSpencer takes the Jerseyman to task forminor Inaccuracies of absolutely no import-ance. Tbe Jerseyman refers to Dover's"Common Council," and tbe Journal takespains to say "We have the City Council.1

Tbe Jerseyman speaks of a bill of "$850" forexperimenting with "wells," and the JournalInforms its contemporary tbat the bill wasfor $800 only and " it was for a well, not'wells.'" The Journal concludes the articlein question with '• Right Is right, and we areglad * * * that right Is gaining the dayla Dover." The Eiu quite believes that" right is gaining the day in Dover," but doesnot believe that Editor Spencer is at all gladover tbe prospect Horellke he is like theman of whom It is Bald that when be was introuble and a friend tried to comfort bim bytelling him to chirk up ; that justice wouldbe done to him, replied : "That's what I amafraid of."^ .

Give It a Trial.TILE JKBSET CITY News is sedulously trying

to create the impression tbat the Dingleytariff is a failure as a revenue producingmeasure by printing each day, under a promi-nent headline, figures from the New YorkTribune giving +,he customs and interoarevenue receipts and tbe government expen-ditures, taking no account of tbe fact that theefleefc of tbe new tariff law was discounted forat least a year to come by the heavy Impor-tations rushed Into this country during, theBevorol months prior to tho enactment of tbeDingley tariff. The Wilson tariff was fromthebegfnninguptothetiraeof the heavy lmportatlons before referred to a deficit pro-ducer. Tt will be fairer to judgoof the meritsof the Dingley law after a trial of at least ayear.

The Morris Journal yesterday printed notfar from two columns of words in a voiu at-tempt to justify a plain violation of the lawon the part of Councllmen Raynor, Carhartand Sttimpf. These officiate incurred obli-gations footing up not far from $050, withan unexpended balance In tbe appropriationof only about $250. Tbe law on the subjectreads:

A FREIGHT car famine is now threatenedin those regions of the West where a moneyfamine was prevalent under the Clevelandadministration. Farmers of the West, whoseabundant crops at profitable prices have beentbe theme of newspapers of late, are abso-lutely unable to obtain freight cars withwhich to transport their grain, althoughmany thousands of these cars were idle al-most constantly under the low tariff andbond-Issuing administration of PresidentCleveland. Despite the fact that Bl!ver hasfallen, the price of grain has steadily ad-vanced so that the growers of the West areutterly unable to obtain facilities for trans-portation as fast as desired. .

The fiftieth anniversary of tbe establish-ment of the Church of Our Lady of MountCarnielinfioontOD was celebrated lastSunday.The occasion was deeply interesting, especiallyto the members of the parish. A souvenir ofthe celebration, in the form of a neat book,containing an historical sketch of the parishfrom its orginlzation to the present time,together with the pictures of Bishop Wiggeraud the clergy tbat had officiated there, aswell as pictures of the first church, the onenow used, tbe rectory, the sister's home andSt. Joseph's Hall and School, were circulated.

Ground was broken for the first church inApril 1847, and the little church was com-pleted and dedicated on August 15, 1847. IDthis little church they worshipped until 1601,when their present church building waserected.

The first resident priest, the Rev. DominicCostet, was appointed In I860. He remainedthere until 1803, when he returned to France.Tho next priest was the Rev. Louis OamboB-villo. He was followed by Rev. John A.O'Grady and Rev. Patrick Downes succeededhim, followed by Rev. J. P. Poels, now ofNewark. The Rev. John J. Tighe, latelydeceased, succeeded Father Poels, and on May1,1895, the present pastor, Rev. Dr. ConradSchotthoefer was appointed.

The programme of the jubilee services con-sisted of a moss at 8 a. m., celebrated by theRight Rev. W. M, Wigger, assisted by Rev.C. Schotthoefer.

The Birch Boiler Is made of STEEL BOILER PLATE. It has a CAST; IRON BASE and a superior ANTI-CLINKER ORATE, and a STEEL CASINO,and is superior to the common Cast Boiler. It is an Upright Tubular Boiler

j with Double Tubes, a Water Tube inclosing each Fire Tube, presenting thin, sheets of water to the action of the heat, and consequently water Is heatedand steam is formed, In the most rapid, efficient and economical mannerpossible.

Therefore we make the claim, without fear of successful contradiction,t that tbe Birch Boiler will produce a greater amount of steam, or heat a largerquantity of water, with less tuel than any other Boiler In the market; and

. we challenge a comparison of Its merits with those of the best of its competi-tors. - . • • . " • > . . • • , : •• ' .••••. .•

6 THE IRON ERA, DOVER, N. J., AUGUST 20, 1897.

AN AWAKENING.

I P WAS two hours past midnight anda January storm was raging. >"ew

lork lay a foot under tie scow which,•fciul becu falliEg1 all day and uif?MT onlyto give place to an icy rain. The streetswere deserted by all Eav« thegTiaidiansof the peace, and even they sought shel-ter wherever they could, secure in thebelie/ that on such a uight- they ^veresafe from detection by the chance pa-trolman. The clogged gutters affordedDO outlet, and rivers of water ran overthe mounds of snow and gathered inpools in. the footprints made early inthe evening by hurrying crowds ofworkerB eag-er to reach their homes.

At -the desk of one of the largest andmost luxurious hotels stood a young-man, fashionably attired, leaning part-ly on one arm, -with MB face turnedtoward the door. Near him stood theclerk, and they were engaged in thatfifcm[confidential cnateo usual betweenmen of their habits. All life in thevast caravansary was hushed UDder thedreary, sodden sound of the rain as i tdrove its way into the snow.

Suddenly one of the doors leading tothe street swung in a little, and whatBeemed but a gray bundle of wet ragsflashed through and disappeared be-hind a huge hall lounge beside the ra-diator. Despite the rapidity with whichIt came and vanished, neither the eye ofthe clerk or that of his companionfailed to observe it; nor were they ata loss to understand what it was. Anejaculation somewhat profane escapedthe lips of the clerk as hla hands in-stinctively came down upon the bell,and the almost unconscious "FrontI"caane as though jerked from his lips.

The young mac, on the contrary,straightened himself op, and a smile,caused either by the irritation of theclerk or by a chance thought of hi*own, broke over his face. The hall boywfro was running to obey the summarycommand of the clerk was stopped bya backward nod of the bead and words:'Til attend to this!" The young manthen proceeded down the hall towardthe door and came within view of thebundle, which proved to be a boy of sixor seven years of age.

The child wa.s sitting: bolt npright,fast asleep, with bis little legs, stifffrom <the cold, extended straight oatalong the floor, and bis hand's claspedtogether In friendly embrace in his lap.His hat, which uad fallen from hishead, lay beelde him, and'his long wet|hair hung straight down over his face,(almost shutting out from view the'closed eyelids. The little figure wasrigid, and the young* man stood for onemoment in absolute amazement as he'realized the suddenness with which thisJo re a ken waif of the streets bad foundrepose in sleep.

He had 'been accustomed to seeing;these boys about the great city. In allplaces and at all hours of the night,finding shelter wherever they could,And had never given them a singleserious thought. Now, as he stoodthere in the quietude of that night,looking down on that little, silent,storm-beaten figure, a realization .ofthe extremes of life seemed to burstupon him. He dropped Into a chair,his first impulse being to Bit there untilmorning, if necessary, a silent guardianof the sleeping boy, but, as he realizedthe saturated condition of the child'sclothing1 and his need of a change, hereached over reluctantly and gentlyshook the little shoulder.

At length the eyelids quivered, andfinally opened, disclosing- a pair oflarge, sleepy, blue eyes In mute appealfor rest For one instant their eyesmet and then the young1 man, with ajBiugle hurried glance round, as thoughhe was about to do something wrong,suddenly snatched the child from thefloor, placed him upon his knee, inutter disregard of consequences, andinquired if he was hungry.

Amazement seemed to hush articula-tion.

The silent answer came In an affirma-tive nod of the little head and a bright-ening of the eyes,

A secluded corner of the dining-roomwas sought, and an order given, withthe confidence of an old habitue, foranything- and everything the kitchencould afford at that late hour of night,now well into morning.

For some time after the soup was•erred the little fellow sat In wonder,gazing unblinkingly at his benefactor.Suddenly he reached over and touchedhim.

"What is it?

see, sux, de shed got busted ternite an*I wuz huntiu* fur a place an' suthin'made me <ihaae in 'ere."

"Where is Jimmie?""Dunno; el he's in luck he's in de

hum!""How much does it cost to get a bed

in the home?""Ten cents; yer see, luck went agin

me terday. Two dagoes—big fellers,"and the blue eyes grew us large asthough illustrating the size of the ene-mies, "cum and swiped roe stand an*punched me, see, an'I jest dropped mepapers down to fite 'em, and' de odderdago grabbed 'em an' run. But 111 gitsquare wid dem dagoes!" he added,meditatively.

"Ilow?""I'll git Tiger sum time w*en he nin*t

woozy ter cum down ter de stand; he'llgit away wid 'em, see!"

"Hully gee, tanks!" and withoutwaiting for further persuasion the boyran out into the bleak night.

The clerk gazed at the young manwith a cynical smile.

"I could do that 20 times a night if Iliked," he said, coldly; "It does not helpthem, any."

"Just think, though, of the good itdoes me," returned t i e young man,carelessly; "I am thoroughly selfish, 3admit."

"There are plenty of societies forthem," continued the clerk. "This pro-miscuous giving only pauperizes them."

"We all need a lift sometime*, overhard places. This problem of helpingthe poor has never yet been solved, andnever will be until there is more prac-tice of the comradeship and brother-hood of which we hear so much. Every-one believes in the theory: it Is beauti-ful to talk about, but how many live it?"

"What would you have? Society di-vided into two classes, the slummer andthe slummed?"

**That might be preferable to theltwo cli into which it is divided at

What do you want?"asked the young man.

"Jest wanted to know if yer wuzdere!" answered the boy, sheepishly."Is it all rite, or la it jest one of demdreams?"

A burst of loud and happy laughtercame from, the young man as he gaveassurance that this time it was nodream, and, reaching over, helped thefirst spoonful of soup; then he droppedinto silent contemplation, as he vieweda most ferocious and indiscriminate at-tack upon everything- the table af-forded.

Sense of an obligation never beforesuspected began to take possession of

' him and the problem of bow to dealwith It kept him silent, as be watchedthe food disappear in marvelously largequantities.

A block from the hotel bis attentionwas attracted to a Bmall figure in theshelter of a doorway. He stopped in-tuitively and, walking toward it, recog-nized Uie boy from whom he had partednbout 15 ininutes before.

Be looked at him in speechless sur-prise.

The boy, young as he was, realizedtbe suspicion, with which he was re-garded.

"Please, surl" he exclaimed, eagerly,"I wuz goin' ter de hum, an* I foundJimmie here, see—en' Jimmie wuz sick,he wuz cryin/ an' I guv him de dime,and tole 'em ter go ter de hum."

The man looked sternly at him and•tin made no remarks. "'Deed, Bur,it's true, dead true. See—here's Jim-mie's coat; he left it for me and Iwuzn't hungry, an' he ain't had noth-in* ter cat nil day."

He unwrapped a ragged old coat fromabout his bare leg* and held it up intriumph.

" 'Deed, aur, ye kin go an1 see.""Here, you young reprobate, how far

enable you to take all the houselesspeople you may meet on the way, andalso yourself, to the home. Now run,and do not let the fact of your havinghad one dinner debar you from evereating another. Remember, I will seeyou and Jimmie in the morning."

The young man resumed his strugglethrough the snow. The night had lostall its terrors for him. His mind ab-Borbed in the whirl of ideas set in ac-tion by this second meeting, left himunconscious of the elements. Hethought only of the light and happinessthose few pennies had brought out ofthe storm and darkness, and to one whohad long been in tbe habit of squander-ing large sums in pleasures that didnot please and amusements that did netamuse it was a revelation. >

The upright frontwas fastened flnmly to the sides, aftera hole was cut at one side to allow thefowls free passage. Inside, laths werenailed over the cracks, and la the fallthe entire Inside was sheathed withbuilding paper, making it warm andcozy. The slanting front was arrangedto work on hinges, being hinged to theupright front so that it could bebrought forward when raised. Inside,cleats were attached the width of awindow sash, and in this a sash wasfastened arranged so as to slide underthe cover. The cover, by the way, wassawed in half so that the part coveringthe glass could be raised and the otherhalf remain closed. The expense ofthis house was small, and the labornecessary to put It in shape did not re-quire the cervices of a mechanic. More-over, the slope of the box-was just rightfor the glass front, and the wlole madea warm, light house. The nests werearranged so that they could be easilyreached by letting down the cover. Inthe fail, tbc space between the box andground was banked up with sod which,of course, added to the warmth of thehouse.—Rural New Yorker.

WHERE TURKEYS THRIVE.<flmmt> B t u o i i Wester* Breeder*

The following is an extract from anaddress by Samuel Cushman, Paw-tucket, B. 1., at the New York Farmers'institute, Middleville: "The largestflocks snd the most thrifty, look-ing turkeys are found on form*having high, dry land. whichhas a light growth of grass andwhere a new breeding gobbler has late-ly been introduced. They generallydo beat on land where they have notbeen kept for years. As a role, it ismore difficult to raise them each yearthey are kept on a place, especially if alarge number are grown. Twentyyears ago It was easy for anyone toraise turkeys. When a place or regionis overstocked turkey diseases becomeprevalent. Many in the east have givennp turkey raising on account of lossfrom disease and those produced in-ferior stock on account of western com-petition. In turkey raising, as in pro-ducing any other crop, it pays best toraise the best"

This shows where western breederslave the advantage. There is no partof the west that.has ever been over-stocked with turkeys, and the breed-Ing of them is steadily gaining groundin this part of the country. There wasa time not long ago when Rhode iBland

.turkeys stood at the head of the marketand Narragansett turkeys .were thebest that could be produced anywhere.t Now the bronze turkey is at the headand those produced in the west sell aswell as those from the east in any mar-ket where they are offered.

THE IRON ERA, DOVER, N. J., AUGUST 20, 1897. 7Water Giis Manufacture In England.

At the recent meeting or tbe IncorporatedGas Iimtitute, PresidoDt Ellery in his inaug-ural address thus referred to water gas man-ufacture in England:

The introduction of pluut for tho produc-tion of carbureted water gas takes a largoplace In the present period of activity. Forsome seven years oil baa been used in con-junction with twin** suitable carrier O3 a sub-stitute for coal and canuel iii English gaBworkfl;aud it may now be claimed that thotime of probation is passed, and the processestablished on thefl'-m foundation of econ-omical elliciency. It is a pity, perhaps, theoT)3 was not introduced under some otheruftine. Tho tendency is to shorten tho titleto plain "water gas/' which creates prejudiceand -wrong Impressions in the minds of theuninitiated. Of carbureted water gas as nowmanufactured much has been written bythose who understand tho subject, and, as isnot unusual, by some who know but Httle..After an experience of (torn 18 months, I haveto express a feeling of Indebtedness to thoseengineers who worked out and brought overthis system of gas manufactured from theUnited Btates. At Jlrst its chief advantagewas considered to consist in its being an easyaud economical enricher of coal gas; and itsmerits in this direction are too well known toneed enlargement. But to-day its field ofusefulness is found to be less limited.

The manufacturing capacity of plants al-ready erected* and in course of erection, insaid to be equal to a daily make of 88,000,000cubic feet of gas, and they range from 125,000cubic feet upwards. Assuming each plant tobe operated during 100 days iu tho year, tbemnount of carbureted water gas would beabout 8,300,000,000 cubic feet, or an equiva-lent of, my, 830,000 tons of coal. The effectof this displacement must be far reaching.The pressure of the demand for cannel coalhas already been removed, and now the keeninterest with which friends of the industryscan reports of "tbe situation In the coaltrade" begin to be lessened. The substitutionof oil for some portion of the coal used shouldbave a steadying effect upon the market anddiminish those convulsions to which it has toofrequently been subjected, and furthermake available certain coals which hithert0have been considered unsuitable for exten-sive uso in gas works, because an inferior gasmay now be so economically enriched bymeans of oil. The economy of space nob onlyin the erection of' the manufacturing plant,but also in Btoring oil, as compared withcoal, Is noteworthy, especially for those workswhere ground is limited. Taking 26 gallonsof oil as the equivalent of one ton of coal,the relation is as one to ten, or put in anotherway, the oil equivalent of 1,000 tons of coalwill require only 308 square feet of ground ifthe tank be 20 feet high. Tho substitution ofroke for some portion .of the cool used in gasmaking is a further advantage. The materialla always on the Bpot, sometimes In inconve-nient quantity, and may be used hot fromthe retorts. Tear by year the output hasbeen increasing, at times beyond the limits ofdemand; a larger ''home" consumption willcertainly tend to enhance Its value. To adegree perhaps not so great, the extended useof oil gas should aaeiflt the market for otherresiduals, sucti as tar and liquor. Looked atfrom the labor point of view, an oil gas plantpresents perhaps Ite brightest side. A fewmen physically unfitted for retort housework can here manufacture gas withoutstrain, the only arduouB part being in con-nection with the removal of clinker from thegenerators once every eight hours.' It looksus though the day may come when by usingretorts for coal In the summer, and meetingthe heavy winter demand by oil gas, thatthere will be less disparity between the num-ber of hinds employed In summer and winter,and that the need for reducing the BtaflE inthe spring will be removed. The ease withwhich sudden fluctuations in the consump-tion of gas can be met by the use of thisplant Is a point of the greatest importance.Instead of tbe bustle to light up retorts tostay the downward course of gasholders inwinter, the. simple turning of handles nowsuffices, assuming sufficient steam to lie avail-able, whilst with equal facility can the illu-minating power be altered at will. Althoughthe removal of the carbonio acid requires anincreased expenditure on lime, it must benoted that the small amount of sulphur Iuthe gas not only lowers the percentage ofGulphureted hydrogen, but reduces the otherand more troublesome sulphur compounds.

In figuring the oost of production, it is atask of no small difflcuiwfresioaess^he moneyvalue of what have been well termed the"collateral" advantages of oil gas manufac-ture; and yet, to give due credit to thtpro-cess, these Items must be taken into account.In comparing with coal gas, local circum-stances alto very much affect the figures.Bpeaklng with reference to one town, I findIt safe to Bay that the cost of producing car-bureted water gas is appreciably less thancoal gas at present prices of: the raw mate-rial and by products. I look upon this pro-cess, however, Bimply as an auxiliary to theexisting method of manufacture; and it mustbe said that with this "auxiliary" at handthe routine of the retort, house proceeds witha smoothness and. comfort previously un-known.—American Manufacturer.

The police made a raid upon "Tramps'Roost," a noted.rendezvous on tbe railroadtrack, near Pocahotitas Lake, Monday night,and captured six. Many complaints had beenmado of depredations committed by the gang,but as there was no direct evidence they werogiven ten minutes to leave town.

The average clerRy-man is not a healthyman. There are manyreasons that contrib-ite to make him deli-

.cate. He leads a'sedentary life.He doesn't takesufficient exer-

cise.. Just the samelie is a hard-workinpman. He takes tooinuch trouble aboutother people's troub-les to trouble muchabout his own. Hethinks too muchabout other sick peo-ple to look1 after Uia

I own health. The re-sult is that the hard-working clergymanbecomes a semi - in-valid'early in life,

There is no necessity'for this. A clerjry-inan adds nothing to his usefulness, butTeatly- detracts from it, by neglecting Ins

iiealth. If a inan.be he clergyman or layman,will resort to the riRUt remedy just ns soonas lie feels out of sorts, and knows that heis a little bilious, or that liis liver is torpid,or his: digestion is out or order, he will re-main healthy and robust and add much tohis usefulness and many years to his life.Dr Pierce's Golden Medical Discoveryrestores the appetite, makes digestion audassimilation perfect, invigorates the liver,purifies the blood and tones the nerves.
