An Elegant Stock of New Goods.

Messrs. c. Hess & Son, merchant
tailors, No. 1926 Main street, offer for
the inspection Of the public an elegant
assortment of new fall and winter goods.
They unquestionably carry as complete
an assortment of choice merchant tail
oring goods as can be found anywhere in
the city. These goods were selected
with great care, by Mr.. Adam Hess,
whose excellent taste and ripe judg-
ment in choosing for his customers are
well known to the public at large. We
advise all who contemplate purchasing
new suits, and in these good times
everybody wants new clothes, to call
and examine the fine stock of goods in
this establishment before purchasing
elsewhere. Their prices are reasonable,
and they guarantee a perfect fit and
entire satisfaction.

Benefactors.

When board of eminent physicians
and chemists announce the discovery
that by combining some well known
valuable remedies, the most wonderful
medicine was produced, which would
cure such a wide ran6e of diseases that
most all other remedies could be dis
pensed with, many were sceptical; but
proof of its merits by actual trial has
dispelled all doubt, and to-day the dis
coverers OF that great medicine, Hop
Bitters, are honored and blessed by all
as benefactors.

Iu the usual way Of curing hams in
pickle each ham has TO be handled in turn
ing it 10 the pickle cask, the brine has to
be handled by dippers and buckets, and
several minutes time is required to secure
the head 10 the cask. Mr.. Scudder's plan
is TO arrange a number Of large stationary
casks in rows along series of supply pipes
and drains connecting with well Of brine,
the pickle being pumped from the well
into the supply pipes to run into the casks,
and emptied from the casks by drainage
from the bottom, as may be desired. In
these casks is secured an upright pole,
with wings radiating from each other at
right angles and extending close to the
slaves of the cask. Between these arms
are laid the hams, about seventy-6ve in a
cask. The pickle is then pumped ia aud
an open bar-work head put on by means
Of two thumb-screws requiring few turns
When turning the hams the head is quickly
removed to let the hams float in the pickle,
an iron bar is run through the pole in the
cask, and one man pulls the bar around,
causing the pole and wings to turn with it,
In this rotary motion each ham is forced
to slide over and turn around another, and
thus to present new surfaces in varied po-
sitions. 1t is claimed that by this new
method there is no loss from imperfectly
cured hams, the picking being bettcr be-
cause It can be equalized and graded easi-
ly. It required only one third Of the time
necessary formerly, besides enabling one
man to do the work Of one hundred men
in curing hams.
The improvement in smoking is as fol-
lows Smoke is created 10 an oven out
side the smoke-house and passed through
under ground pipes into the smoke house,
a frame building, where il rises from the
floor to the top, encountering two opposite
currents Of air drawn from outside. These
currents cause the smoke to form into a
rapidly-revolving horizontal column which
passes among the hams. The smoke is
not warm, and there Is no heat 10 melt
the hams, or hot air to blacken them.
The hams under this process, are smoked
in twenty-four 10 thirfy-six hours, and
come out with rich, reddish bronze hue,
and unshrivelled. Formerly il required
from eight 70 fourteen days to smoke hams
and there were risks Of Ions BY fire aud
shrinkage, because of the ERE being placed
openly under The hams. The FIRST lot Of
hams cured and smoked under the Scud-
der process were placed upon the market
this week, and il Is claimed that the quail
ity Of the meat and demand for the hams
is something more than ordinary. The
