CEREMONIES n TIE OLD CHURCH.
The old church was the scene of many inn
posing ceremonies, the most notable OF which
was. perhaps, the conservation of its pastor,
Rev. jeremiah O'SuIlivan, as bishop of Mobile
in the fall of 1885. The array OF prelates and
dignitaries of the church present on that occa-
sion was one of the largest ever Witnessed in
the District and the services were particularly
impressive.
Out of the line of pastors mentioned above
the two most beloved by the cong, egation were
undoubtedly those who were longest with their
people and whose noble qualities are still held
in grateful memory-Father Van Horseigh, who
died forty years ago, and Father Boyle, whose
death in 1882 still seems fresh loss to many
devoted friends

The Pies Place I'm History


Secretary Rusk is fond Of pie. He loves pie
as William the Conquerer loved the tall deer.
Unlike the Norman, he does not want to pre-
vent anybody else satisfying the taste that
dominates him. On the contrary, he would
like to see pie on every table in the land, how
ever humble. There are those who say that
pie three times q day is responsible for the
dyspepsia of New England, but the more ra-
tional belief is that PIE is somehow involved
with the greatness of New England, and is
part of that common glory which gilds our his
tory and irradiates the path of our future.
While it is by no means fixed beyond contro-
versy, there is yet reasonable ground for the
belief that the Pilgrims brought over pie with
them in the Mayfower. Certainly there were
mighty pasties of venison, and also of
fruit baked in merry England not long be-
fore they went to Holland. The Indians
never knew pie; and the Indians who were
strong and warlike when the Pilgrims landed
are now weak and vanishing race, whereas
the descendants Of the Pilgrims possess the
land This coincidence viii not be lost TO
thoughtful minds. Pie and precedence 20
together. The men who faced the British at
Concord. the men who toiled all night at
Bunker Hill and fought all the next day, were
pie-eaters. Massachusetts was the great pie
eating state, and Massachusetts, furnished more
men than any other state to the Continental
army. There are several sllusions 10 pie in
Washington's correspondence. He notes ON
OuS OSCdoAOn sk&et hAb SooA nao I81cn upon tne
discovery that apples could be made into pie.
Is il not q fair presumption that this secret
was impaired TO him by some New England
soldier2 Washington's life guard was largely
made up of New Englanders, and was
first commanded by o New Highlander.
He loved pie, and he felt himself safe when en-
circled by the swords Of o hundred pie-eaters.
New Englanders have developed the west and
have carried the nag and the pie to the Pacific.
What was sectional has become national; pie
and progress and patriotism are convertible
termA Secretary Rusk does we'll TO encourage
pie, strictly as an administrative measure, for
wheat and meat, and fruit and berries, oil
great products Of the field and the orchard. by
the alchemy Of the kitchen are converted into
pie. The Secretary of Agriculture could do no
less than indorse pie, but we believe his in
dorsement 10 rather due to the pardonable
pride Of the patriot than the cold forethought
Of the administration. When the wise Secretary
was governor Of Wisconsin he put down the
anarchists with an iron hand. They rose against
law, property and morality. Not ons Of those
men had ever eaten pie.

PRETZELs MADE BY HAND.
The Only Sort the Epicurean Teuton
Will Deign to Consume.

s'There is no use in trying to make pretzels
by machine" said Washington baker man to
a STAR reporter. 1--WE attempted it, and it's a
dead failure. The Germans won't buy any but
the handmade, which, for some reason nobody
has ever been able to make out, are sweeter
and of better favor, even when the dough
used is precisely the same in both. Then
again, the ones turned out by hand have a
delicate sort Of skin which the machine-made
lack A curious thing it is, too, since there is
no difference in material, the kneading Is the
same, and the only variation in process is be-
tween stamping with steel dies and twisting
into shape with the hands,"
ibid you ever see pretzel made? Then lust
look here" continued the baker man. grabbing
as he spoke q small hunk of ordinary bread
rolled the hunk rapidly over the board with
both hands until 1t was long, thin, cylindrical
| strip. Then taking each end Of the strip be-
tween thumb and forefnger he curled 1t with
two or three quick motions into the shape of a
perfect pretzel. The whole process required,
perhaps, four seconds, but he was not trying
to do it rapidly.
"But pretzel isn't made of ordinary
dough, suggested the newspaper man.
Its material Is simply -four and water with
-four The pretzel dough is made up Just like
bread dough and the factory hand turrs the
pretzels out one by one, in precisely the way
showed you As fast as they are given shape,
into kettles Of boiling lye, kept at the temper
allure necessary by steam jackets. A moment
later they are hshed out with skimmers and
thrown upon bed Of salt Finally, with what
salt adheres to them, they are picked up
gingerly and laid in ovens with the unsalted
| sides down. When they are done they are
ready for consumption, usually with beer. No
method has thus Tar been discovered Of sailing
pretzels otherwise than by hand so delicstely
must they be handled at this stage Of the per-
formanee."
CUT BIZ MACHINERY.
"But how are they cut by machinery2"
Like ordinary crackers. The dough Is
rolled out In thin sheets and laid upon an end
less belt, which carries them along beneath q
prsszsIshspsd pieces ii each hsm%sr-i Ss
stroke. The pretzels produced in this way
look exactly like the hand-made and, being Of
Il same mstsrial, ought to be quite 4 good,

The Ledger and Sranscript, Philadelphia
Thursday, February q, 1889, says: bill
Nye and James Whitcomb Riley appeared
ntly at the Chestnut Street Opera house
Yesterday afternoon and succeeded in
keeping "A large audience In a condition of
chronic merriment druing the hour and
half the festivities lasted. 1t was some
what unique an entertainment. AT the
outset DIR. Nye warmly resented the idea
that it was anything like a lecture, and
claimed that it was readings, from their
own works, by eminent authors. he eX-
plained with an air of droll simplicity,
now the show was TO be run, he and Riley
alternating the audience to do the best it
could while he was off and Riley on. Be
fore he had spoken two minutes he had his
hearers in laughing mood, and many's
the laugh both loud and deep he provoked
afterward, not less by his quaint.
dry gravity of manner than by
his funny stories and odd and unlocked for
expressions. He spoke almost wholly
without gesture, except when illustrating
a selection from his own school Reader
about heroic 7-year old boy, the oldest of
a family OF thirteen children, whom he
supported and then his primitive style
added irresistibly to the diverting charac-
ter of the selection. Mr. Riley cOnCribu-
ted several of his poems, reciting them not
only in the Hoosier dialect, but with suit
able mimicry of voice and manner. and
with a skill and effectiveness he has here
tofore -made well known on the lecture
platform.
Both humorist and poet were warmly
received and had added to the unmistaka-
bile testimony of hearty laughter many a
round of cordial applause for their success
full efforts.
