The committee who have reported in favor of
the Montreal hydrants, and who received the
decision of Mr.. Bertram that the hyd in use
there sis the best in the world" no ccl5, have
examined the merits of the different hydrants,
although they cannot be aware that there are
many points even in this hydrant that are con-
dsmned. 1t has proved satisfactory in Mon
treal for sixteen years. Yet in Boston and
New York the old waste cocks used in this ny
drant are being, or are already discarded, be-
cause they are not reliable
do not understand that they are operated
by lever attached to the main valve, but "a
spiral spring stop at bottom, that shuts with
the pressure of water when let on, and opens
when the water is shut off, This empties the
column" That is, it empties the column so
long as the waste cock works, but it cannot
operate great length Of time as the accumu-
lation of rust in the column is 30 great as to
completely stop the egress of the water The
consequence is, iniron post hydrants in New
York, New Jersey, Philadelphia or elsewhere
where they have cold weather, that d leaky main
valve no matter how slight, is sure to fill the
column with water, and in cold weather freeze
and burst Go to those cities and see the num-
berless bands bolted upon cracked hydrants
caused by freezing. The Montreal hydrants
have not always been ready for Immediate
use'' if they "catch with frost" and "porta-
BILE steam boiler is required to furnish "jet
of steam" to thaw them out. This portable
boiler is what was required in New York on
John street and at Barnum's Museum, winter
before last, when they found the hydrants froz-
en-, and in the former instance three or four
were resorted to before water could be obtain
ed And when the cost of setting complete
with brick chamber and plank and cast iron
plate is considered, the committee will find
that they have decided on the most costly ny
drant without compromising advantages

Letter from Saccarappa.

OACCARAPPA, May 4, 1903.
Dear Press,-Desirous of learning the latest
phase of the temperance question, as presented
by the Methodist Maine Conference, we pro-
ceeded this evening to the new and elegant
church of that denomination in this village,
and found very large meeting, composed of
citizens of every creed. The first speaker was
the Rev. E. w. Jackson, of Gorhaln, SO well
known as a special advocate of the cause
Among other things, he stated shat we were
going to have State Temperance Convention
that would pass resolve that We should vote
as we pray'-that his hand had cast the last
vote for the man who was not true to the cause,
specifying no one in particlar, but warning the
Republican party,
The next speaker called upon was @. A,
Stackpole, ESQ.,, who declined to speak, but
was finally over-persuaded, by repeated and
loud calls from the audience, s'to say a few
words" 1t is apparent that Mr.. S. is consid-
cred by all as an honest and intelligent friend
of the cause, and he made good speech
which was listened to with attention. He
said: "The principles of total abstinence and
prohibition had become established, and there
only remained the enforcement of the law, and
he thought in due time that public sentiment
could be brought up to its enforcement
The next speaker was Mr.. Winslow, of Bos
ton, who is young man of much enthusiasm
He predicted split in the Republican party O
Maine, although he did not seem to indicat.
clearly which way he thought the grain woult
run, or what sort of wedges would be used, O.
| who would sling the beetle.
| 1t was quite evident that the meeting on tn
whole was conservative; no personal alluson
We're made. The veterans of the cause, ik
Mr. stackpole, who know the history OF thu
cause and the struggle from the beginning, ant
are equally identified with the glorious histor,
and recorc Of the Republican party, will no
easily part from tried friends and long-cherish
ed and well-known principles, which can onl,
be sustained, perpetuated and inyieorated b,
consistent party regulations There now seem
no disposition on the part of true temnera mo-
men to leave their moorings on trivial issues
which must jeop lrdize the principles of pro
hibition, but rather to maintain undivide
front against the enemy in the position al
ready attained. OBSERVER.

A CLAM SUP.-On Friday evening very
carefully selected party-selected with refer
ence to leaving the heavy eaters at home
proceeded to Saco in obedience to q decree
from our very distinguished caterer-friend
Mr.. John T. Cleaves, of the Saco House, and
sat down to the choicest preparation of hen
CLANS that ever appeared before mortal vision.
1t was glorious supper, and but for the serv-
ing of great public ends, the matter would be
too sacred to talk about
Know ye, grovelling eater of fish and flesh,
that the hsn-clam is a product of the very deep
shore beds of the sea, and is only thrown with
in the realm of mortal ken by great storms
Then, as great men come to the surface in
times of revolution, 80 do these remarkable
shell fish come out Of the great upheaving of
the ocean when fierce winds contend. Along
some of our most extensive beaches these
menstrous bivalvss can be found occasionally
during each year. For the benefit OF those who
have not clambered over the troubles between
them and these great delicaeies, we remark
that the shells average as large as ladies'
hats, (which is speaking with great modssty,)
and that, when opened, twenty-five of them
make gallon. They are dressed to the ex-
tent of removing the dark portions, and (if
cooked by an artiste) are chopped up and stewed
until tender, about three hours, as rule. As
many dishes can be made of them as of chicken,
while the meat is richer than anything upon
which we have ever trained any of the facial
muscles before.
The goodly company, honored as was that of
Friday night, extend cordial thanks to their
kindly host, and assure him that even memory
of that lordly feast 10 a sweet morsel. A self
sacrificing person, in speaking of a certain
happy season, recently, said he should be will
ling to live a thousand years in this wicked
world to enjoy SO sweet pleasure again. We
could not think of making SO unreasonable
proposition, but shoald feel justified in any
reasonable Notifying of the flesh in order to
repeat this last performance; and when next
hen-clams ride abroad, may we be there to sea.
