REV. DR.. ELLIS CASE.
His Examination In Chief Has Not Yet
Been Concluded.

His Examination In Chief Has Not Yet
Been Concluded.
Rev. DR.. j. w. Ellis was on the witness
stand throughout the day on the trial before
Judge Wallace and a jury of his case
against the San Francisco Presbytery for
100000 damages for an alleged malicious
prosecution and trial OF him before church
court for the misrepresentation of moneys
belonging TO the Central Presbyterian
Church. The trial has been most tedious
proceeding.
The plaintiff has proven himself most
wonderful witness. with recollection Of
events that is almost phenomenal. He has

Referring to his standing in the commun-
ity as unimpeachable before the action Of
he had been asked by Rev. DIR. MaekenZia
to associate himself with him, and then il
came out from letters introduced that DE-.
Mackenzie had undoubtedly favored q union
OF the First Presbyterian Church and the
Tabernacle, thus making a large and power
tul congregation, over which both he anu
DR.. Ellis might jointly act as pastors.
Another thing OF which Rev. DR.. Ellis
complains bitterly is that none OF the mem
bers Of the committee or Of the presbytery
ever conferred with him in accordance with
the spirit of the church constitution prior 20
the filing Of the charges, and then as show
ing the unfairneSs OF his trial that persons
who were witnesses against him also sal rs
judges over him. The publication of the
charges even before be knew of them aud
their circulation in the Los Angeles papers,
even TO the publication there, his former
home, OF q two and half column report OF
the address of Rev. Mr.. Kerr as the prose-
cutting officer before the presbytery, had
prevented him from closing big land trans
action, which he was about completing
while ia Los Angeles at this time.
A mass of exhibits, such as letters, ac-
counts, newspaper clippings and transcript
Of testimony has already been fled in the
case. Among others was a letter of Feb
ruary IA. 1891. by the elders of the Central
Presbyterian Church to the Presby terry,
stating that DIR. Ellis was IN untiring, zeal
Gus worker. and that, under his manage
ment, the church had prospered, aud lis
finances were well managed. Had it not been
for his efforts the church would have gone
out Of existence. The elders asked that he
be retained as there pastor. A petition was
also read, signed by So members of the
church, asking The presbytery to review its
action In removing him.

UnIeachcd Ashes.

The Connecticut experimental station
gives, as theresults of an analysis of q ton
of good quality unleached Canada ashes,
1,s20 pounds of carbonate of lime, mixed
with magnesia; 10 pounds of potash,
SO pounds of phosphoric acid, $40 pounds
of water and 591 pounds of other mate
rial which has no fertilizing value. The
1920 pounds of lime has little value.
The potash is very good, but as much
would be found in 225 pounds of muri-
ate Of potash, and the 80 pounds of phos-
phoric acid could be obtained in 225
pounds of German phosphate Stag or
the same amount Of good acid phos-
phate, or in 275 pounds of South Caro-
lima floats. The potash at present prices
would cost $500, and the phosphate
about 1914, in either form. This gives
the value of those two elements in ton
of ashes as $3.50. Or 425 pounds of cot
ton seed hull ashes would have more of
both elements than the ton of Canada
ashes, and we think could be bought
for less money, says American Guilt
yatOr.

Mast on Grant,

NEW YORK, April 14.-Mr. Mast, the
caricaturist, was always an ardent adj
nirer of General Grant. The great
warrior was warm personal friend Of
the artist. 1t was at Mr. Nast's house,
i'll fact, that the general was first enter

the White House at the close of his Sec
ord term.
knowing him as I did," said Mr..
Mast, describing one of the unpleasant
features Of his profession, II never took
any stock in CRsarism. I never be-
Heved, with Mr.. Sumner and many
others, that he had any desire to over
turn the republic. Consequently, did
not join in their assault on him. On the
contrary, attacked them, and among
his opponents that I caricatured was
Mr.. Sumner, who appeared to feel it
keenly. You are wrong, Mr.. Mast he
said to me the last time I saw him.
You are a young man now, but you will
see your mistake. Ii you are going to
take Grants side, you must go your way

friendship, but I never had occasion to

Dairy and Creamery.

Don't pour unknown chemical stuffs
into milk to prevent its souring. It is a
nasty, dishonest thing to do.
A curious question was that which
came up at a recent dairy convention
whether men or women should make
butter. That convention must have been
hard put to it for something to discuss.
From the first, at the beginning of
this year, the dairy school of Wisconsin
had the full complement of students it
could accommodate-100 These dairy
schools, patronized by earnest and
brainy young men and women, will put
the butter and cheese of the United
States ahead of all others.
Professor Gilbert, of the New York
butter school, says he has reared grade
Jerseys that made twenty pounds of
butter in seven days; but they were
sired by fine animals.
A western cattle breeder reports that
in the east "dairylnen seem to think
that cow can do great work on moth
ing to eat" This is rough. We commend
the consideration of this statement to
dairymen everywhere.

Kainit and Nitrate of sada.

Kainit and nitrate of soda can hardly
be compared. According to American
Gardening kainit supplies potash, nitrate
of soda supplies nitrogen, and each one
occupies an altogether different place in
the economy of plant growth. Kainit
has 70 or ID per cent. of potash, conse-
quently has value as plant food of
eleven or twelve dollars; while nitrate of
soda, having Is or 16 per cent. of nitro
gen, is worth forty to forty-fve dollars.
Kainit is valuable as a manure for trees
and small fruits, potatoes, ETC., when
supplemented with the other elements
that may be needed. 1t is also excellent
on mucky grass lands. For vegetable
crops, if used at all, it should be applied
during fall or winter, says the authority
quoted.

BASE BALL NOTES.

PETER will draw $500 from Louisville
this season,
Catcher Mack draws q salary of s2750
from the Pittsburg club this season.
Golden, the big first baseman hailing
from Canton, o., is doing well with the
Phillies.

was the first ball player to take the BIZ
chloride Of gold cure.
Caravan, Anson's new man, is twenty
six years old. Last year he played in 1874
games, made 1903 runs, took bases on balls
45 times, stole IS bases, made IS sacrifice
hits and had an average of .249.
The Pittsburg club has given Arthur
Whitney and Catcher Briggs the usual ten

probably Jim Corkhin, will draw his re-
lease papers in few day.
The Portland daily press., 1892-04-22

He learned the moves from his brother
while boy, but did not pay much atten-
tion to the game. He devoted his inter-
est to base ball, in which he became pro-
ficient. While acting as pitcher for the
Southern League he on one occasion
sprained his arm.
Before he regained its use he again took
up chess, and found the game more to his
liking. In 1887 he came to New York,
where he Joined the New York Chess
Club. Practice with such strong players
as Delmar, Hanham, Lloyd, Mintz, &C.,
soon developed his strength. In. the team
match between the New York and the
Manhattan Chess Clubs he won a game
and drew another from iced.
In 1883, in the first tournament of the
United States Chess Association he won
first prize and the championship, which
proud title he has held ever since. Among
his opponents were Hanham and Chas.
Moehle, both of whom he defeated. In
1889 he played in the Sixth American
Chess Congress, winning games from
Blackburne and Bird and drawing with
Tschigorin.
