arrayed with such adjuncts in the per-
Torrance of his rites. The Catholic or,
perhaps. the Protestant Episcopal must
therefore be the denomination for him to
seek aid from, and he found out from the
Minghinis and the McSherrys that a
Father Cahill. who used robes such as he
had seen In the dream, would. on a GER
tain day, be at Shepherdstown. about ten
miles away, to hold Catholic service.
They promised him an Introduction to
the priest, and on the day specified they
accompanied their unhappy neighbor to
the church meeting. At the first sight
Livingstone recognized in Father Cahill
the minister he had seen in the dream
and. falling on his knees and with tears
streaming down his cheeks, begged TO be
relieved from the thraldom OF the evil one
Having been questioned by the priest, he
gave the whole history. including the
unkindness shown TO the strange guest.
Father Cahill, who was jovial, big
listed Irishman. alive. as the Lutheran
minister had been. to the absurdity Of the
whole affair, tried to convince the sufferer
that he was merely the victim Of some
malicious practical jokers OF his neigh
borhood. 1t was all In vain. however, to
try TO dispel Livingstone's fears, and for
sheer pity, and. perhaps. Irishman like.
not being averse to a shindy even with
the devil himself. the good father con-
scented to accompany Livingstone home
and do all he could to relieve him. At
that time Catholic priest was something
heard OF with awe and superstitious dread
In Virginia, but very rarely seen there,
and II Is likely that the perpetrators
of the outrage on the hapless family were
themselves victims of an unreasonable
fear Of something that was formidable
only from its rarity and from attributes
that existed only in their own ignorant
and unframed imaginations. Any way. II
Is recorded that never after the visit OF
Father Cahill were the diabolical scissors
heard. and from that time peace
reigned In the Livingstone household. but

legend will not be- allowed to die out. for.

Curious Artificial Fuels.

The Patent Office at Washington
has a present a very curious assert
ment ot c)ntrivances patented for
cheapening the cost OF fuel. Some Of
the ideas are exceedingly interesting.
One patent provides for using corn
cobs soaked in petroleum, another
would have people cut leaves and
grass when green and press them into
compact blocks. It is claimed for
this particular patent that such blocks
might be used for building aad fencing
without impairing their value as fuel.
There are. besides. many devices for
utilizing coal dust. One proposes to
mix clay, molasses and water. coal
dust and petroleum. Another mixture
is that of saw dust, Irish moss, ashes
tos fibre and bnrnt limestone. these
being boiled and made into bricks
with coal dust. Then there is a pat
ent foI bricks without coal dust, to be
composed of ashes and saw dust satu-
rated with petroleum and coated with
resin. Among the most curious ingre-
shells, cllarred garbage. corn meal,
Wneal Hoif, sugar, sea weed, broken
glass, lard. tar and leaves.
One Of the o interesting of these
contrivauces is composed of powdered
charcoal and finely cut cork. The fuel
burns very slowly and gives off a
great deal of heat, being particularly
we'll adapted for the sick room. Ex-
elusive nights have been taken ont for
the manufacture of brick or cartridge
of highly porous clay, which is to be
soaked in kerosene and put in the
kitchen stove when wanted. 1t is
only necessary to touch u match to
this and the fire is ready for cooking.
None Of these. however, are more in
g%enioss or economical than IA fuel
which is reported to he III use at pres
ent in Egypt. In this case Egyptian
mummies, chiefly those of cats, ibises
and other animals held sacred by the
aucients, are employed.

AN OLD LANDMARK GOING
ALLEN & ROBINsON'S STORE BUILD
ING DEMOLISHED.
The Building Dates From the "FOrties'
and Was Known as the Irwin"
or "NIahoe" House.

The store on Queen street so long oc-
cupied by Allen and Robinson, is being
demolished and with its disappearance
goes one of the oldest landmarks of the
city. The building is being removed
to make room for a new three-story
brick building which is to be made fire
proof by liberal use of iron and
cement in its construction and which
will be occupied i'll part by Allen q
Robinsons business, the remaining
space being leased.
The old building dates its exist
ence from early in the 'forties," when
it was erected by the then British Min
lister, General Miller, about whose eccen.
tricities so many amusing stories have
been told, and was formerly occupied in
part by A. j. Cartwright, the remainin
space being given over to the use of
pilots. The place was well known as
the "twin," or "mahoe" house,
and was a great rendezvous foI
pilots, whalers and sailors. The
| name 'tWn, OF lndllOe nouSt
originated in the fact that the house had
passageway leading though it to the
boat-landing in the rear.
The old building has been used al
various times for many purposes at one
time serving as Wholesale liquor
store, presided over by Mr.. Ludington
but has always been a meeting place
for seafaring people, and the old wall'
now being torn down, could they talk
could repeat many an interesting rem
iniscence of by-gone days when Homo
lulu's harbor was filled with whalers.
The property came into the possession
of the pr esent owners in 1880, by pur
chase from the heirs of J. NJ. Chartan
but has been used by Allen s. Robinson
as a store since 1915.
When the new building is complete,
it will be great improvement over TIN
old, and will mark another era in tn
line of progressive business enterprls
in this city, but the old store, with it
crowding memories of other days an,
scenes, will be missel by many AM
especially by those following the sea.

Among the items set forth in the last

In view of the Importance of the
matter Mr. Damon was seen this
morning by the STAR man and
in answer to questions regarding the
subsidy, the Minister of Finance said:
''rhe act providing for the payment of
the subsidy to the Oceanic Steamship
Company is still in effect and will re-
main so till August /, when, if it is to
be continued the Councils will have to
make provision for its payment. We
pay it monthly"
When asked what he thought of the
chances for the continuance of the sub
sidy, Mr.. Damon, only smiled and said
"That is a matter for the Councils tc
decide"

THE ALCOHOL BILL.


/
Morgan's ONCE.
AT the meeting of the committee in
| charge of the revision of the Alcohol
bill, there were present Mossrs. ID. i.
Smith, j. f. Morgan and John Mott Of
the Council; MIR. Peacock representing
the liquor interests and G.. w. Smith
and Dr. McKibbin representing the
druggists. The discussion upon the
proposed amendment soon resolved
itself into fight between the liquor
and drug interests, the committeeman
sitting quietly by and listening to a
rather heated discussion.
1t is claimed by the druggists that
the present duty on alcohol of $3.50
per gallon is excessive, they
claiming, when imported for med
ical purposes it should be
be admitted free, or with u very small
duty. Under the existing circumstances
the alcohol can he imported in bond
and left in the warehouse until needed.
If taken out in its pure state the full
duty has to be paid. If taken out methy-
| lated-that is. adulterated with naph-
! tina in such u manner as to render its
use for liquor purposes impossible-the
duty is reduced to 81 per gallon, the
/ difference between the cost of import
| ing barrel in its pure state and in its
methylated state being about S400. The
| liquor men claim that as the
law now stands there is great
opportunity for evading the pay
ment of duty, as no one
connected with the Custom House
knows whether the alcohol taken out
of bond is actually rendered unfit for
consumption or not.
The men representing the liquor i'll
terests have no objection to the admis'
sion of alcohol for medicinal purposes
with little or no duty imposed, but
insist that there be appointed an official
chemist who will certify to the methy.
lation of all alcohol to be imported .foi
such purposes.
II was stated that the natives use the
methylated spirits in making swipes
and that it is very injurious in its
effects.
