developed in the trial Of Morris G. Werkheiser
Tor the alleged criminal libel Of Rev Elijah
Lucas, the pastor of the gIrst Baptist church
Some time ago Werldleisar published a
pamphlet in which he referred 10 Mr. Lucas
as an unscrupulous blackmailer, vindictive
deliberate falsifer a religious fraud of despie-
able depravity, a leper idol wolf in sleeps
clothing, monster Of iniquity and hardened
ana Infamous religious imposter.
hev Mr.. Lucas is an eloquent preacher,
and has for over twenty years been pastor Of
the FIRST Baptist church, which is the largest
M the city. Werkheiser, an ex-member of
the board Of education, was member of the
church on June 20, 1855, when he was ex-
pened ON charges Of unchristian actions. The
pamphlet was issued after his expulsion The
church has since been almost rent in twain
by the two factions, which took sides with
the pastor who was 50 bitterly assaied and
with Werkheiser, who felt that he had been
wronged in being expelled
When ex-Judge Woodruff. Cor tho plaintiT.

terms said that never had there been am in
stance before where in the courts Of this state
minister Of the gospel had appeared in this
way, as prosecutor in libel suit against
one OF his flock The defense, he said. would
prove that Werkheiser had no malicious in

the pastor explained, and he only wrote the
pamphlet when he could get justice in no.

They would prove that IN one instance Mr.
Lucas continued to visit the wife of a member,
OF the church in the absence Of the husband

another instance he took long and frequent
walks with a certain young lady, and was
seen to descend the stains from her apart-

THE COOK AND KITCHEN,
Choice Recipes.

WHEN eggs are scarce cornstarch is
good substitute; one tablespoon of the
starch is equal to one egg.
To BEAT the whites Of eggs quickly
put in a small pinch of salt; do not
have one particle of the yolks with the
whites, or they will not froth nicely.
IF cream soups are to stand any length
of time after being prepared, place
damp towel over the dish to prevent the
scum from rising.
PoACHED EGGS IN BATTER. - Poach
the number of eggs required. Let them
get quite cold. Trim nicely, roll each
egg in thinly- cut slice of bacon, dip
in batter and fry. Serve with parsley.
The carpets may be kept much fresher
if, occasionally, on general sweeping
day, they be we'll sprinkled with corn
meal and salt before beginning to ply
that woman's weapon, the broom.
ORDINARY buttermilk is valuable
food. not only for pigs, but for the fam
tains 5 per cent. of milk sugar, nearly 1
per cent. of mineral salts, as we'll as

and quite enough for family of six.
The few pieces of bread left from break

TIE POULTERER.
Poultry Notes.

TOUItfy NOtcS.
THERE is no better time to purchase
Improved poultry than in the fall.
No FARMER who wants to realize the
largest per cent. of profit can afford to
keep anything but the very best stock.
SOMETIMES the plea is made that one
lis not able to own good stock. The fact
Us the poor man cannot afford to keep
anything but the best.
BY hanging the fowl up by the feet
and killing by piercing the brain with
the point of knife and then drawing
the knife across the mouth or rather the
upper jaw, and commencing to take off
the feathers before the fowl gets cold is
the best plan to pick dry.
IF you are convenient to butcher shop
as a rule it will be better to secure your
supply Of eggs from that source rather
than depend upon purchasing bone dust.
Bones can rapidly be broken up fine,
and while mill is of course somewhat
better at the same time this system can
be made to answer.
FEED systematically and regularly;
not an over-feed one meal and an in
sufficient quantity the next. If feeding
to fatten give them all they will eat up
clean at each meal. But otherwise it is
not good plan to keep them too fat,
especially it you wish to secure eggs.
IN purchasing new breeds or breeding
stock do not make an attempt to cross
or to start in with too many kinds. On
the farm usually one good breed will
give much more satisfactory results than
several kinds or even a cross.
