Among the scores of admiring visitors to

the watchman at the door was removed, and
every respectable person who could look

mitted. The postotice department in the

No such use Of Tennessee marble has been

the stairs are easy of ascent and not as often

At dinner, not long ago, some gentlemen
who were sitting at table with Hugo Blanck,
the noted chemist, observed that he exer-
cised the greatest care in pouring out glass
Of beer. He tilted the bottle gently and
slowly, so that the liquid passed from the
bottle to the glass without the least dis
turhance, and when the glass was full it
had no collar Of froth at all.
81 could have understood your case, said
one, ''if you had been drinking Bass ale or
Guinness stout, that 90 on a rampage if not
Cingerlv handled; but | confess / can't see
why You bother so much glass of lager"
Mr. BlanCk cast a kindly look of COM
passion upon the critic and said: 81 thought
every beer-drinker knew that it should be
poured so as 10 avoid froUh. Surely such
simple, yet important fact is generally
known. No? I'm astonished WHY, if
YOU pour out lager beer headlong into
glass, allowing foam to fill half the meas
ure, YOU lose the best ingredient in the
beer, the invigorating, lively tonic-car-
bonic acid gas. Pour the beer slowly and

monstrous Pitcher Crane fired unsolvable
Conundrums under, over or anywhere but

the bleachers the significance of this omen,
the gay and gilded butterfr's
flight over the plate, was much
discussed, and it had some effect on the bet
ting A man with a cream-colored Derby,
a trifle dinted and dimmed, and face to

WOMEN APPROVE THE GOLD CURE.
Temperance Leaders Ask the Churches to
Bring in the Drunkards.


Bring in the Drunkards.
A special meeting of the Allegheny
County w. c. T. A. was held yesterday in
the Sandusky street Baptist Church, Allie
gheuy. Dr. Benjamin Franklin, who has
been treating liquor patients with the
Kelley cure, was present and explained its
treatment, and to prove the efficacy of the
method he agreed to treat any three patients
gratis that the Alliance wished to send.
Secretary CARRIER, of the Worlds Cure
Company, was also present and spoke of the
attention paid to the morphine victims.
He introduced patient whom he had cured.
The latter made short address stating that
he had become addicted to the use of NOR
phine, taking as much as 60 grains day.
To cure this habit he resorted to whisky
and drank two quarts each day, but was un-
able to check the morphine habit. He
placed himself under the Worlds Cure
Company, and is now free from the habit.
A committee of seven, with Mrs. Estep as
chairman, was appointed to investigate the
treatment and adopt some plan for having
patients treated. Mrs. Campbell urged that
every church take hold of the matter, and
that the pastors of the various churches
should find out the hard drinking members
of their congregations and persuade them to
take the gold treatment, or any treatment
that might affect cure. 1t was decided
that special department be instituted for
this work

WANT THE ROAD OPENED.
Farmers Will Sue the Valley Road to Re
cover the Old Turnpike.

Farmers viii Sue the Valley Road TO lte-
cover the Old Turnpike.
An effort will be made to compel the
Allegheny Valley Railroad Company to
vacate and reopen that part of the old State
road which was confscated by the company
at the time the tracks were laid. This por-
tion lies between Brilliant and Verona, and
at a recent meeting of property owners
along that section, an account of which ap-
peared in THE DISPATCH, it was decided
that Captain Boyd, one of the largest prop
erty holders, should bring suit against the
railroad company to compel them to open
the pike.
George Shiras, Jr., has charge of Captain
Boyd's case and will file the suit as soon as
the preliminaries are arranged, which will
be about week or ten DAYS. 1t is thought
that, should the case be decided in favor of
Captain Boyd, the entire road would be
ordered to be reopened, but in case the de-
cision should affect his frontage only the
other residents along the closed portion
will institute suits individually.

Sponge Cake
RY M ARIA PARLOA,


For two thin sheets or one thick loaf of
cake use one scant pint of flour, three gills of
tne granulated sugar, one gill of cold water,
three eggs, the juice Of one lemon, quarter
tf a teaspoonful of salt and two teasPoonfuls
Ct Cleveland's Baking Powder. Beat the
whites of the eggs until stiff, and gradually
beat into them the sugar, then the yolks of
the eggs, next the lemon juice and finally the
salt. Beat this mixture for ten minutes. Now
add the cold water and then the flour, In which
the baking powder should first be mixed.
Beat for two minutes after which pour the
batter into well buttered pans and bake in
moderate oven. If in one loaf it will require
forg-five minutes baking, but if in two pans,
twenty or twenty-five minutes will be enough.
Success depends upon the sugar being
beaten with the eggs for long time.
