IT was our misfortune on last Friday
afternoon, in speaking of Every Even
ing's attitude towards Commissioner
Hickman, TO be thoroughly misunder-
stood Thoroughly. In the first place
we had the very best intentions in point
ing out TO our contemporary the ugly
light in which it's conduct appeared We
wanted to save 81 from getting into
trouble Our solicitude for the good
reputation Of the journals of Wilmington
led US TO give TO Every Evening
the advice that we did. But
all our excellent purposes went for
nothing Every Evening misunderstood
us and got very mad It made an exhi-
bition Of itself It lost sight Of all sense
Of dignity and even decency. II was
shocking. II gave renewed evidences Of
a sluggish circulation. In the second
place the Sunday Star misunderstood us.
In the column Of The Man About
Town, where the editor Of our Sunday
contemporary relieves himself Of all those
feelings and mental ebullitions which
would look ont Of place in an editorial
column, we are accused Of calling Every
Evening a liar This is very stupid
charge We are not guilty Of such rude
ness. The EVENING JOURNAL is edited
by gentlemen.

GEN. ALVIN P. HovEv-

Named for Governor by the Republicans
of Indiana.
Gen. Alvin Paterson Hovey, named by the
Republicans Of Indiana for governor, is a
native and resident Of Posey county. This
county became celebrated, early in the CEN
fury, by the foundation of the Rappites
Communists at New Harmony In due
time their society "run out" and Robert
Owen and his Scotch Lanarkers succeeded.
They failed, OF course; but Indiana gained
the talents Of Robert Dale Owen and his
brother, the noted geologist, and New Har-
mony is still a place Of curious interest.

tigation at New York an Italian immigrant
who had been induced to leave his native soil
testified that he could live in New York city
on Is cents day by practicing economy. For
25 cents a day he could live comfortably.
Perhaps this is not fair example of what
it costs an Italian in large city to live. Let
us consider what he eats First, macaroni
Then fruit, few vegetables but rarely any
meat. Macaroni is one of the cheapest OF
food products, and one Of the most nu-
tritious. An Italian macsroni factory, by
the way, IS curious place to visit
There are number of them in Boston.
Macaroni is made by hand from flour and
water. The dough is put into a cylinder
about eighteen inches in diameter, the bot
tom of which is filed with holes Then the
dough is pressed through. The holes in the
the macaToni are made by placing wires
through the holes in the cylinder. The ma
caroni is then taken to a floor above and
dried, when it is ready for use Only Ital-
ians can make mAcaroni. OF course the
quality Of that made in Boston does not
equal that made in Italy. There they do it
differently. The grain grown in southern
Italy is better adapted for the purpose 1t
contains more gluten than the grain of more
northern countries. The wheat is ground in
mill and is then sifted five times. What is
left from the last sitting makes, of course,
The finest quality Of macareni. Then it is
made into dough and kneaded. There are
two different ways Of lsneading. One is to
put pole into perpendicular post in the
ground. The pole acts as a lever, and the
dough is placed in a vessel under one end TO
which is attached an instrument which, when
worked by man or woman at the other end,
churns it to proper degree of stiffness. An
other way of kneading is to pile up the dough
and walk over it with the bare feet. The
best macaroni is made this way. But peo-
pie in this country will be glad to learn that
most Of the macaroni we eat is made in New
York by new process, q history of which
would contain no disgusting suggestion.
But to return to the subject.

amused look, watching our caravan.
She refused to remove her face veil, but
permitted full view of her trinkets.
On the top of her head four trousers but
tons were united by cords in the form
of Greek cross.
Near each temple was an iron harness
ring, one and one-ouarter inch in diam
eter and one-eighth inch thick, tied to
the lower combination. From these
rings down to the edges of the face-veil
ran two pieces of iron and brass jack
chain. From the rear button over the
part in the hair cord ran backward.
Bunches of beads hung from the cords
at her own temples. and a lot of beads
with silver diskas large as Bland dollar
hung from each ear. Three bracelets of
turquoise and amber graced each arm,
and from one of them dangled brass
navy button. There were rings on her
fingers and thumbs Nineteen dazzling
necklaces hung around her neck-some
of turquoise, some of amber, while some
were silver, and one was made up of the
iron ferrules from the sticks of tourists
umbrellas.
