Letter In Central Advocate.
The Metropolitan NJ E. Church, which is ono
OF the largest and most beautiful church edifices
in the city. has recently received improvements
to thu amount of about So, 900. It is a stately
structure and the interior is most artistic in de-
sign. This has been newly frescoed in soft,
harmonizing tints. and the effect is very fine
On the wall. at the left side of the pulpit is a
memorial tablet to General Grant the Gift of
his friend. George W. Childs, of PHILADELPHIA
The tablet. which is very handsome. is of ebony
and brass, and bears the following inscription:
In memory of the virtues and valor of Ulysses
S. Grant. General of the Army and President of
the United States. Bora q April, 1922 died %
July, 1883.
There is to be placed on the other side of the
pulpit marble memorial tablet to General Lo-
gan. This Is fitting tribute to the memory of
these great generals. who both worshiped in
this church. Two weeks ago last Sabbath the
widows OF these eminent men sat side by side
aud listened TO the minister, who had been
their pastor in the happier years of the past.
What tender memories came rushing over them
as they sat there amid these old familiar sur
roundIngs in the loneliness OF their widownood.
Mrs. Grant is spending q few weeks with friends
In Washington. She has aged very much since
the Generals death Yet she is cheerful and
bears her loss with Christian rortirude. The
thought that comforts her is that she will soon
join her husband. and she talks to her friends OF
going to him as sh. would if he were In a distant
land. where he was waiting for hsr 10 meet him.
Mrs. Logan ia residing at her Washington
home, Calumet Place. When well she Is regu-

THE 9Th VICTIM.
The Whitechapel Fiend Shows His
Fifteen Before Surrender"

LONDON, Nov. 8.
The murder fiend has added another to his
list of victims.
At IL o'clock this morning the body of a
woman cut into pieces, was discovered in a
house on Dorset street. Spitalfeld. The
police are endeavoring to track the murderer
with the aid of hloodhounds. The remains
were mutilated i'll the same horrible manner
as were those of the women murdered in
Whtechapel The Lord Mayors parade
necessitated large portion of the police
force to special duty in controlling the
crowds in the street.
The rigid patrol which has been kept up
in Whitechapel was thus somewhat relaxed.
This gave the murde er an opportunity
which he was not slow to seize. At the
time the fourth woman was found there was
written on the wall the words, Fifteen be-
fole | surrender" The last woman make
the eighth victim. The victim, like all the
others, was woman of bad repute. Three
bloodhounds belonging to priv ate citizens
were taken to the place where the body
lies and placed on the scent OF the murderer,
but they were unable to keep it for any
great distance and all hope of running the
assassin down with their assistance will have
to be abandoned.
The murdered woman told her companion
last evening that she was without money and
would commit suicide if she did not obtain a
supply. 1t has been learned that man
respectfully dres sed accosted the victim and
offered her money They went to her lodg-
ings on the second floor of Dorset street
house. No noise was heard during the night
and nothing known of the murder until the
landladyswent to the room early this morn
ing to ask for her rent The first thing she
saw on entering the room was portions of
the woman's body lying on the table. Dor
set street is short and narrow and situated
close to Mitre square and llandbury street.

Hospital Notee,

Some days since Mr.. Jeremiah Weymouth
of East Machias, a confused and feeble
patient at the hospital while lying upon a
lounge was assaulted by another patient oy
the name of Archie Blair of Waterville,
from which injuries Mr.. Weymouth did not
rally and died some two days after. Young
Blair had been quiet and orderly for several
months, requiring no unusual restraint and
this violence came upon him suddenly. The
night before, however, premonitons of Il
change in his quiet demeanor appeared in
Blair on account of which he wa, placed in
his room and orders given that he should
leave it only under the caarge of an attend
ant. The next morning while in the bath
room he evaded his attendant for a moment
and assaulted the man Weymouth.
A thorough investigation was at once made
by the superintendent and two trustees of
the institution, who were present at the
time. They came to the conclusion that
no blame was attached to any one. The
assault was such that had Mr.. Weymouth
been strong man he would have
rallied. This is the first serious assault of
one patient upon another since DIR. Sanborn
has had charge of the institution. In CON
sideraton of the fact that about one quarter
of the inmates have suicidal tendencies, the
infrequency of suicides at the Maine Insane
Hospital compared with the average in the
hospitals of the country, is worthy of com
ment.

ARooSrooK STARCH
Some Reliable Facts Regarding It's
Manufacture

| An item which has been recently going the
rounds of the papers, stating that there are
now 52 starch factories in Aroostook and
that the product this season has been over
5000 tons, is entirely without foundation.
There have been during the present year IS
starch factories in operation in Aroostook,
and two in Penobscot counties. Eight of
these have been built since 1887. One or
two which were previously built have lain
idle this year. The total product according
TO the careful estimate of Caribou manu-
facturer has been about 1890 tons, about
two-thirds of the average amount. Though
the potato crop has averaged well in quantity
the quality has been inferior TO that of pre-
Nious years and the price of potatoes for
shipping has been about 30 cents per barrel.
AT the starch factories an average of "a cents
per bushel has been paid. Starch delivered
in Boston WHOLESALERS for cents u pound,
and as one bushel of potatoes makes only
about eight pounds of starch, it may easily
be seen that the profit is not enormous.
Among the principal manufacturers are Hon.
I. A. Phsir, of Presque Isle, whose
seven mills have made 1900 tons of starch
this year Alba Holmes of Caribou who has
made 20 tons, Trickey & Co., of the same
town, 1870 tons, and Elias Lowney, so tons
The mills generally employ from 10 to -
hands each. 1t is estimated that ,200, 900
of the 2,soO,o00 bushels of potatoes raised in
Aroostook this year have found their way to
the starch factories.

GEN. BUTLER.
He Reviews the Results OF Tuesdays
Work.

In h,s speech at Lowell Thursday evening,
Gen. Butler foreshadowed the future policy
of the republican party when he said that in
1890 comes new appor,ionment, and then
the great West wuold have large proper
tionate gain, while no representation can
come from the South, unless they divide
Texas. There will be two new States also.
These States have been kept out by the
democrats, but there will be a vote on it in
the next Congress. That settles the fact
that no politician will ever'war against prOtec-
ton again. The next Congress will reduce
the tariff more than either the Mills bill or
the Senate bill.
On the negro question the general said that
many good people thought that when the
negro was given the ballot he was given too
much. He respected their sentiments, but it
had to be done, and those who made the
negro a man made him whole one. instead
of a part of one. The general claimed that
it was not intended that the master should
cast the negro vote. But that is being done,
and the electoral vote of the Southern States
is being cast that way. In other words the
negro vote is abridged. If it were
not for that, four years ago Blaine
could have been elected without
New York. He tried when in Congress t.
get the matter remedicd, but he failed be-
cause there were gentlemen in Congress who
had their eye on he Presidency, and needed
southern votes to get nominated. He had
got beyond that and could talk out in meet
ing. He claimed that the matter could be
remeded by republican congress. 1t has
been reported that the negro vote in the
south is abridged" Now let republican
Congress pass a law "abridgng" the number
of representatives in the southern States.
This matter ill divide the vote in the south
ern States and end the solid south. All this
has been made necessary by the vote of
Tuesday.
