AN OLD LAND MARK GONE.

The remains of the old building that for so long time has served as the railroad station at Botsford, were removed, this week, and now the only casual traveller is not certain what place he has come to when he gazes out of the car window and sees the new and slightly buildings, recently erected, until he hears the gen. tie voice of the brakeman shout out "Botsford! Botsford! Passengers for Botsford will please pass out of the rear door, passengers for north of Bots- ford remain in this car.'' But this building has had quite history for it is the senior of the railroad by some years. The dwelling and store were erected some 65 years ago, by Capt Edward Botsford. the dwelling being erected first and the store short time afterwards. Capt Botsford was the first storekeeper and conducted the mercantile business there until his death, when Oliver Bots ihi0 oOoh LIB p1dSC GU bdC D. H. Botsford followed Oliver Botsford in the store and for the past 10 years A. B. Blakeman has conducted the business and it was under his management that the sale of intoxicants was abolished in the building. When the railroad went through it was but natural that it was made the depot, standing convenient to the railroad track as it did. But the railroad company did not run the build ing until after the Derby branch was built. About 10 years ago the property 1 passed out of the MT Botsford's hands and was bought by J. R. Peck, who sub sequently sold it to the railroad com pany at the building of the branch. Int old building has seen some good long years of service and under it's roof Z good deal of money has been spent But it has served it's day and it is : cause for rejoicing that the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad com
 pany in their onward march of improve
 ment have removed the old timer and II
 it's place put up buildings modern t
 serve their patrons, that are not only
 more convenient but more pleasing [,
 the eye.

OF INTEREST TO THE METHODIST EPIsCO- PAL CHURCHES.
 With the first Sunday of April the eccle. siastical year of 1S93-4 will close. The next annual session of the New York East Conference will open, Wednesday, April 4, at g a. m., Bishop c. H. Fowler presiding. It is always a period looked forward to with deep interest by mem- bers of the Conference. Then the warm fraternal geetings are again exchanged, hope inspiring and encoura ging words are expressed, stirring anniversary ad- dresses that uplift and stimulate are de- livered, reports of work in the various charges are presented and the general routine of business and debate is pur- sued, concluded with that all important feature, the reading of the preachers appointments by the bishop. The whole session is intellectual, inspirational and devotional in it's influence and the mem- bers go forth refreshed and more thor oughly furnished to continue their work in old fields or carry it forward in new fields. The work of the Methodist Episcopal church is great and ever growing and we cannot tell whereunto | it will grow. Yet she has ever been equal to every emergency, and as the /; work has grown in magnitude, the wealth of her people has materially in creased and they have contributed gen. erously in proportion to the ever increasing demand. The Methodist churches of Easton have not been be- hind in their offerings toward the va rious benevolent enterprises of the church, as the following report made to the last annual Conference will show:

three stars who have been in the League some years-but the phenomenal work of the youngsters, McGraw, Jennings, Bon ner, Reitz, Kelly and Keeler, has caused widespread desire among managers to make few finds" of the same class.
 Of all these young Baltimore stars Hen " P. Reitz, the second baseman, is prob ably the most valuable and the most es- teeme3 in the profession generally. He is pushing McPhee hard for the honors at the head of second basemen and promises to dethrone the Cincinnati king just as McPhee himself a few years ago caused Pfeffer and Richardson to abdicate in his favor. Reitz is really new star He played his first professional game in 1890 on the Sacramento team. In 1891 he went cast and played at Rochester in the East ern league part of the season, but went back to the Pacific coast in midsummer, where he remained till 1898, when he was engaged by the Baltimores and at once sprang into national prominence on the merits of his playing. Ills greatest field ing feat was the acceptance of IF chances in one game in June of last year. Reitzs stepping stone to the profession was the Chicago City Amateur league, whence so many National league stars have come
 If the major clubs could unearth few more Reitzes Elys, Abbeys, Mereers, Ora dys McGraws and Ryans, it would be glorious thing for professional baseball.

THOSE GREAT ORIOLES
Can They Keep Their Talons
 Tn First Place?
VERY VIGOROUS YOUNG BLOOD.

Caylor Believes That if the Baltilnores Can
 Make the Pace Until Their Western Trip
 Is Over They Will Be Hard Players to
 Head or In the Pennant Race.
 Now that the eastern clubs of the Ma tional league have their teams in the west on the first long trip it will be interesting to take a nasty view of the pennant race. With the championship season only two fifths played there remains any amount of possibilities to either of the clubs in the first division. The eastern teams started west with veritable surprise to nearly everybody who is versed in baseball prob abilities The Baltimores led the van and were setting hot pace for the teams. Not one out of every one hundred enthu- siasts would have thought of such possi- bility when the season began, not even among the members of the Baltimore team themselves or among their most sanguine admirers This incident is only one more in a long line of surprises which are con stantly reminding people of the glorious uncertainties of the national game. Can the Baltimores hold their lead? very much doubt it.
 But if they hold their grip on first place and return to their own grounds from the west still leading on July l shall ex-

emancipation Of China from for

In any event America has

Russian influence is bound to be

A
In Eating

has been brought about by the
introduction of CoTToLENE, the
new vegetable shortening. The
discovery of this product, and the
demonstration Of its remarkable
qualities, has attracted the widest
interest. Hitherto the common
shortening has been lard, or
Indifferent butter. Every one has
probably suffered occasional dis
comfort from lard-cooked food;
while it is we'll known that thous-
ands are obliged to abstain entire
ly from everything of that kind.
To such people, C%oTToLENE is of
peculiar value, widening as it
does, the range of what may be
eaten and enjoyed. CoTToLENE
is a cooking marvel. It eo0tbinfs
with the food-imparts to it a
tempting color, a delicate favor,
and an %appetizing crispness.
No trace of greasiness remains
to offend the taste, or disturb the
digestion.
CoTToLENE is worthy of the
careful notice Of all those who
value good food, of itself or for
its hygienic properties.

ANTON RUBINSTEIN.

As performer on the piano Rubinstein certainly is entitled to rank among the best the world has seen. His fame as a player will outlive that as a composer Baltimore American.
 Anton Grigorievich Rubinstein is called a Russian, but his musical genius raised him above the country of his birth. He was greater than Russia. for he had a genius that could reach lovers of the beau tiful in all countries.-New York World
 Inasmuch as music has a right to It's representatives in the circle of the world $ great men, one of them died with Rubin stein. He was easily the chief musical fig ure of the day and one of the few must cians to whom the quality of greatness can be attributed. New York Sun.
 As man and as pianist he was without affectation, without guile. He was gener- ous to extravagance. Many who knew not the rank of the pianist will mourn the friend. And such was his personality and such was his Individuality that his death Is a matter of world importance Boston Journal.
 No pianist ever had a more royal or i'm mediate command over his hearers. Ey. erything he did bore the unmistakable stamp of true genius and carried you aw ay unresisting. And this genius of his was as individual as 1t was potent. We who now live shall never look upon his like again.-Boston Transcript.
 Rubinstein did not live when the world let Mozart starve at his clavichord and Schubert in his garret, but he did live to see the times when a man could spend two hours at a piano and reap a small fortune. But to Rubinstein's credit be 1t said tha, he never abused his fortune He was true to his art.--New York Advertiser.

 Bandit Bill Cook is said to be looking around for n chance to run fer the United States senate.-New York World.
 At the latest accounts the Cook gang had not captured tho deputy marshals, though in hot pursuit of thcm.-Eow York Commercial Advertiser.
 We may expect to hear something inter- esting very soon from Indian Territory. Cooks opportunity to get fame or death was never better.-PhiladeIphia Inquirer.
 If Brigadicr Bill Cook and his gang arc to be suppressed, the result will apparent ly be accomplished by our faithful allies, the Cherokecs, and not by Uncle Sam.- St. Louis Star Sayings.
 Bill Cook has threatened to kill United States Attorney Jackson if he does not call of the pursuit If the deputies will stay in Mir. Jackson's neighborhOod, they may get glimpse of tho bandit.-St. Louis Republic.
 A Cook killing, in which members of the Cook gang were vicyms, is the latest innovation in the order of things in tho Indian Territory. For the eold of the ter ritory 1t is to hc hoped that the good work will not meet with interruption.-Pitts burg Dispatch.
