AN EvAPoRAToR.

How an Oregon Man Says They Should
Be Built.
In an essay by Aaron Bray Of Dundee,
Or. at Oregon horticultural meeting, he
began by saying thst fruit must be
dried by hot air, and the length OF time
required to dry fruit will be governed by
the degree of heat and the speed OF its
passage through the fruit to carry away
the extra moisture. The model eyapor-
a.or is one in which the degree of heat
and circulation of air are the same in all
its parts. The air which, has passed
through green fruit and absorbed large
amount of moisture should be allowed
to pass out of the evaporstor without
being compelled to pass through par
TALLY dried fruit. The evaporator should
be SO constructed that the fruit can be
easily inspected. Upon these depend
the success of any evaporator. The
evaporator should never be less than lS
feet inches long, feet inchee wide
and longer is better. The air should be
delivered through heavy iron pipes not
less than 10 inches in diam
eter, which should start from one
side and discharge near the
other, and for regulation should be
supplied with adjustable caps. The
foundation should be constructed of
brick, eight inches in width. with a
brick wall running through the center,
and the arch should run through the
whole length. The sills should be
2xS and the cross pieces 8 feet inches,
with division of one inch clear
lumber. Each section should be
entirely separate from the other
sections. Nail pieces l115x3 inches, ex-
tending two to four feet above the top
of the dryer, and seal both sides, the
outside one extending to the,top. With
the uprights sealed it forms two COM
plete ventilators. The crates should be
exactly three feet square, 30 there would
be no trouble in putting them in or taking
them out, and should be placed about
elk inches apart. depending on circum-
stances. The rests for the trays should
be 11ax3 inches, with the inner end
about five inches, the higher to allow
trays to be taken out easily. Above the
trays should be bored one-inch auger
holes from ,.21a to 3 inches apart, and
covered with q thin board to regulate
the heat. The whole should be covered
with fat roof, so that all heat must

thus causing it to pass over the fruit,
as it is we'll known fact that heat
always goes where it finds the least re-
sistence. The trays should be six or
eight feet above the top Of the furnace.

I'm the Sunday Examiner you will see
an article headed, Lost His Wife and
Money. The entire article is incor-
rect. and am OF the opinion the Ex-
aminer has made grea: mistake, one it
will have to correct.
ut is true that the man Webb men
toned in the story. married Emma
Stowe here; it is true that she got q
divorce, and it is true that she was per-
suaded by her mother to marry Webb
again.
1T i a matter OF positive proof that
Webb ABUSED his wife, and that he
never provided for her. All through her
married life he never gave her what
would provide for the necesearies OF life
for one month.
webb is we'll known here, having
worked in the London Clothing COM
pany's store.
''His wife is an artist OF considerable
note, and her work has been on exhibi-
tion at the Mechanics fair and other
places. Those who know her speak OF
her as worthy young lady, and as for
her mother, che is a woman we'll known
as an estimable lady.
Something over IA mcnths ago Webb
released mortgage of $l100 Mrs. Stowe
had on some property here. He signed
the mother-in-law " q name to the release.
and the party owing the money foolishly
turned it over to Webb. 1t was some
time afterwards before the transaction
was discovered. Webb skipped out OF
Los Angeles with the money, and wh en-
next heard from he was in Bakersfield
figuring on purchasing a saloon with
Mre. Webb's money. 1t was getting
rather hot at Bakersfield for the young
man, and he went to San Francieco,
where he deposited the money. he after
wards going to Sacramento.
ut was not long before he was found,
and Mrs. Stowe placed the matter OF the
$ll00 in the hands OF Judge Alexander
Campbell.
Fearing arrest Webb, on reaching
Sacramento, went to the superintendent,
of the Young Mems Christian associa.
tion and professed religion. By degrees
he made confidant out of the superin
tendent and had the latter write TO his
wife in Los Angeles to the effect that
Webb had the money all safe and would
remit it all right on Mrs. Stoves order
Then the request was made that Mrs
Webb join her husband in Sacramento
Alexander CampbelPs partner, Judge
Silent, sent me to Sacramento to procure
the money or to arrest Webb if it could
not be procured.
"When accosted Webb he informed
me that he had the money, but hs
must see his wife before be would turn
it over. telegrapbed for Mrs. Webb
and on her arrival at Sacramento hsl
husband bluffed q settlement off fol
nearly two days. Finally when he saw
there was but one alternative. he turnec
over the certificates of deposit he hat
the San Francisco bank to Mills & Goa
bank of Sacramento. The latter col
lected the money. and under my in
structions sent it to Mrs. Stowe in Loi

"Webb never had any $1,000 to loan
Mrs. Stowe. II he had loaned her any
portion Of $1,000 he would have kept ol

CLEVELAND, O., Nov. 6.-About fifty

of the Presby terian church in large cities
will meet in Cleveland Wednesday to
decide upon policy for the future. The
circular which called the meeting says
"The present condition of the Pres
byterian church occasions deep solicit
ude and calls for immediate and serious
consideration. Manv ministers and eld-
ers view with apprehension the tend
ency to assumption and Capitalization OF
power aud the disposition of both to
impose practically q new dogma with
out due constitutional process and
to treat formal action and overtures OF
the presbyteries with email respect.
They fear lest there is reasonable toler-
ance, the liberty of opinion hitherto
enjoyed under the standards shall be
abridged and not q few devoted Office
bearers crowded out Of good ecclesiastical
standing, or even out OF the church. In
this state of affairs it will not answer
for loyal Presbyterians to be inactive
or Indifferent. We cannot afford to be
silent under implied suggestions of
heterodoxy, nor eeem to acquiesce
passively in arbitrary assumptions OF
rigid excluslveness and unconstitutional
procedure. We must not suffer worthy
brethren to be forced needlessly to leave
the church.
"a frank conference of wise, repre-
sentative men, who shall consider what
action ia needed at this present juncture
to maintain our constitutional safe
guards, encourage our disturbed breth-
rem and give frank expression to our
views and position, seems to become an

gold ore we have ever seen. The cap

Livingstone and Rose Nines-Gen-
eral Notes from this
Needles Eye.

San Diego Union: Supervisor Jasper
yesterday left at The Union Office a
thirteen-pound specimen OF quartz from
the Ella mine at Julian. The sample is
the finest quality of free-milling sugar
quartz, showing much gold to the naked
eye. One hundred and fifty tons like it
are now on the dump. running from $3.50
to 200 per ton. The specimen was taken
from the ledge at depth OF l30 feet,
the vein running from six inches to five
feet in width. The walls are slate and
granite, between which the ledge is
sharply defined. S. N. Wilcox, owner
of the property, is developing it in good
shape, having seven men now at work.
1t is said by experts to be very prcinis-
ing mine. From time to time choice
specimens from it will be reserved for
exhibition at the Midwinter fair.
Needles Eye q Parties receiving free
gold ores and desiring to test
them, should first pulverize the
rock al fine as -four. A piece
half the size of an egg is sufficient.
For this purpose an ordinary druggists
mortar can be used, but. this must be
absolutely clean-especially free from
grease in any form, as the presence OF
grease at any stage OF the process will
nullify the result.
Place the pulverized body in a small
shallow basin, being careful to brush in
every particle of the matter. Now fill @
large pan with clear water; hold your
basin of pulverized rock above this at 9
sharp angle; dip in water and wash BY
rocking from side to side. Shake back.
ward from time to time and drain of
the top carefully. Continue this pro
Gees till there is nothing left but black
sand. The gold. if any present. will be
seen in fine particles at the edge Of the
sand. A little practice will make one
skillful in this work, but there is al
ways danger of an unpracticed hand
allowing the gold to escape. Should
no gold appear, it may possibly be due,
not to the barrenness of the rock, but
the hand OF the washer.
