BOOKKEEPING NOT SATISFACTORY

wAsHIsGToy, Oct e8-In addition to
the chief OF the bureau OF accounts at tho
state department, at the request of Secre-
tary Olney, the secretary has also re-
auested aud received the resignation OF
Edward Haywood, the chief bookkeepcr
OF the bureau.
These changes are the results OF the dis
covery OF alleged irregularities In the nc
counts OF the bureau, which have been un-
der Investigation for some time IL Is uu-
derstood that a report fcom tho expert
accountants conducting the investiga.
tion 20 the department showed some
thousands OF dollars unaccounted for,
the principal shortage being $1,000 This
sum. IL Is alleged. .-'s been. deposited by
South American I'-ublics in support Of
the bureau Of American republics.
In scmi-official circles II Is said the chief
trouble with the bureau OF accounts, nc
cording 70 the treasury accountants, has
been tho system of bookkeeping. This
system has been in vogue for many years
aud hnd been inherited by Mr.. Kieckhoefer
from his predecessor. Another error Is
charged 10 the issue of the revised statutes.
hundreds OF which it Is said have been dis
posed OF and the money not accounted for.
Another feature OF the accountants re-
port is said 10 be in regard TO the passport
fees, but the clerks OF the accounts bureau
say that they do not issue passports. They
only receive the money for them after the
payment has been made In another bureau.
Kl~ckhoefer's Explanation.
Mr.. Kieckhoefer. In speaking OF Secre-
tary Olney's action, said the latter's ex-
PLANTATION was that he was dissatisfied
with the me nod OF bookkeeping and de-
sired TO make n change.
Il want 10 say, emphatically," az
tinued, that there Is no cause for any
suspicion whatever that have done any
thing which can be construed in any way
as criminal In character. II is true that
we did retain money In the state depart
ment sometimes for some days, but IL was
necessary th.t this should be done.
ut seems TO me that that Is the only
ground of complaint upon which the
charges of the treasury accountant can
rest fully explained TO the secretary of
state that had done nothing OF which l
need be ashamed and / furnished him
with n memorandum Of the moneys dis
bursed by me, which he told me was salts
factory.
az is natural that there should be dis
crepancy betwecn the money on hand and
the amount which should have been re-
ccived for revised statutes furnished to
the department by the government print
ing Office. because many of them were dis
tributed free OF charge TO members of con-
gress and diplomats by order of the Sec
retary OF state"

warded with such material encourage ment that the present church editice was constructed. He secured contrib utions, large and small, in all sections of the union.
 The historian of the church states that many valuable presents were made at that time, and among them were the memorial windows, the handsome organ from MT. Carlos Pierce, of Massachu- setts; the beautiful communion service from Mrs. James Foster, of New York, and the stone from Jerusalem, with the inscription, Jehovah Jireh," the keystone in the arch above the pulpit, from Dr. DeHaas. The pulpit itself was designed by Bishop Simpson, and was made partly from olive wood brought from the Holy City, while in the vestibule there is portion of the tesselated marble pavement from the debris of Solomon's temple. Upon the windows of the church are many memorial inscriptions of departed mem- bers, the names and dates alone consti- tuting almost centenary memo rial and bibliography of the his tory of early American Methodism. When the church was dedicated on February 2s, 1869, In the presence of a vast concourse of people from all parts of the land, the dedicatory exercises were conducted by Bishop Simpson, who preached in the morning, and was followed in the afternoon by Rev. w. Morley Punshon, the distinguished Wesleyan divine. Dr. Punshon was at that time the greatest Methodist pulpit orator in Canada, and Bishop Simpson was unrivaled by any pulpit orator nj America, excepting alone the match. less Beecher, of Brooklyn. And yet, the young men and women of this age of Methodism know but little of either man, and many of them never heard the name of Matthew Simpson. Thus rapidly do the fame and glory of the achievements of this life fade away into "reminiscences. ...
 Rev. John P. Newman, who is to-day regarded by many as the most eloquent bishop of Methodism, was made pastor of the new church and preached his first sermon on Easter Sunday, March 2s, 1869, in the presence of an immense audience of distinguished people, among them being the president of the United States, the vice president, the chief justice of the supreme court, many sen ators, representatives, members of the cabinet and diplomats from foreign lands.

Take . common dinner-plate; cut little strip of hickory or other hard, pliable wood, say half an inch wide, an eighth of an inch thick and six inches long. Bend it together double, put piece of cheese between the ends, and tie it thps with wire or string. Then lay it in She plate and place an inverted bowl over it, so that the edge will rest on the rounded part of the stick. Mice like to go on plates. When the cheese is toucked and moved, the bowl slips off and down flat upon the plate, shutting the mouse up tightly underneath. Take the trap out, hold it over a barrel or trb of water, and let the mouse come ont. It jumps into the water, and can easily be dispatched. Then reset the tray.-Farm and Preside.

How to Roast 6 Goose.

Clean and wash the same as turkey. Make dressing of six or eight pota- toes well boiled and mashed. Two onions chopped very fine, two teaspoon fuls of sage, one of salt and one of pep. per. Put it into the body of the goose and sew it up. Roast 1t two hours, basting it frequently in its own dripp. ings. When about half done, turn of the fat in the roaster. The last drip. pings are sufficient for the gravy. Tc make the gravy put the gizzard, neck and liver into saucepan, with quart of water, and a little pepper, salt and mace. Let it boil down to about half a pint. When done, braid up the live, very fine with knife and put it back into the water it was boiled in, then add the drippings of the goose; thicken it with little flour rubbed smooth in a little cold water, and give it one boil, stirring it all the time.

METROPOLITAN CHURCH.
The Be Yest-Known Sanctuary In the
 City of Washington.
Tamods Men and Women Who Have Wor- sbiped There--Mrs. Logan's Recol- lections of tho Congregation
 and Its Work.
Especial Washington Letter.1

The Metropolitan Methodist Epis- copal church of this city was for many years the greatest church of that de- nomination in the United States, and it continues to be one of the leading churches in the national capital. In the very early days there was n camp meeting held on the site which this house of God occupies, and the very venerable Bishop Asbury conducted the services. That was long before the city of Washington was dreamed of. and when Wesleyanism was in its in. fancy on this continent. Time rolled on, new city was projected, and schoolhouse was erected here, in which itincrant Methodist preachers held serv- ices at long intervals. The capital grew, and the principal residence part of the city surrounded the site. The schoolhouse was obliterated, and in its place there was series of boarding houses. Senator Thomas II. Benton, of Missouri, resided on the corner. Henry Clay, of Kentucky, lived next door; and across the street John c. Cal houn had apartments in the Cushing house--a fashionable hotel which still stands, but bereft of its prestige. The old hotel is now boarding house, and very few of It's inmates realize that Calhoun, Webster, Foot, Fessenden, Buchanan and Douglas once graced its premises and held conferences of national sig nificance beneath its gabled roof.
 When the Metropolitan was estab- lishcd, more than a century ago, that part of Washington was yet promi- nent portion of the city; but it has since sunlsen into less than secondary mu- nicipal rank because of the growth of the city in other directions. Only twenty-five years ago, Bishop Simpson, Bishop Ames and Rev. Dr. Newman united in efforts to establish and build this beautiful church in the heart of the city. Their work was made popular and effective by reason of the fact that the idol of the people, the success ful general of the army, U. S. Grant encouraged them by his assist ance and with his unlimited influence. The Methodist churches of the entire country, and many of the annual con- ferences, contributed to the funds which were raised for the erection of this Methodist shrine at the seat of the national government. Rev. Dr. De- Haas, of New York, made laborious and earnest efforts from one end of the land to the other, visiting the confer ences and .eloquently presenting the cause. His splendid work was re-

Justice Salmon P. Chase, Hon. M. G. Emery, then mayor of Washington, Postmaster Tullock and others of rank and distinction.
 The first pastor, Rev. Dr. Newman, filled the pulpit for three years. Then, on account of the recognized discipline of the church, it became necessary for the eloquent divine to be sent to some other pulpit; for the Methodist preach CTS, you know, are itinerants who are not allowed permanent locations for their ministry. But the congregation would have no other pastor. No other man could command such audiences. No other man could fill all of the pews, and pack the aisles. No other man would be acceptable. So Dr. Newman declined to preach anywhere, and it was said that he contemplated becom- ing Congregationalist, and taking his church with him into that denomina. ton. But that was found to be untrue. He declined to be assigned for the next

 Lace curtains will not bear rubbing. All the work must be done carefully and gently. For two pairs of curtains half fill large tub with warm water and add to it half a pound of soap, which has been shaved fine and dis solved in two quarts of boiling water; aCld also about gill of household am- mclia- Let the curtains soak in this over night In the morning sop them well in the water and squeeze 1t all out, but do not wiring the curtains. Put theEn into another tub of water pre- pared with soap and ammonia, as on the night before; sop them gently in this water, and then, after squeezing out the water, put them in a tub of clean, warm water. Continue to rinse them in fresh tubs of water until there is no trace of soap; next rinse them in water containing bluing. After press ing ont all the water possible spread the curtains over sheets on the grass, or if you have no grass put them on the clothes line. When they are dry dip them in hot, thick starch and fasten them in the frame that comes for this purpose. If you have no frame fasten a skeet on a mattress and spread the euriains on this, pinning them in such n manner that they shall be perfectly smooth and have all the pattern of the bovIler brought out. Place in the sun to dry. If it be desired to have the curtains light ecru shade, rinse them in weak coffee, and if you want a dark shade use strong coffee.

Taxation in Europe.

Taxes in France are the heaviest in Europe in proportion to the population, amounting to $17.5O a head. Though the general taxes of the German empire are only $6.G5 a head, they must be added to the taxes of the individual states; the average Prussian German, for instance, pays s15.5O. Next comes Austria with s12.37 and Hungary with s12.12. England's rate Is s11.5O, so is Hollands; that of Belgium is s11, of Italy s1O.5o, of Greece s1O, of Spain, Denmark and Roumania, 80, of Sweden S5.5O, and of Servia s5.25. In Switzer- land the general government receives So head, but the individual cantons tax as well. In Russia the rate is the lowest, s4.25, as large proportion of the revenue comes from the states do-
 main.

year, the pulpit was declared vacant and Dr. Newman filled it as supply preacher" Later on, at a subsequent conference, he was assigned to the Metropolitan pulpit for another period of three years. Since then there have been other pastors, all of them good men and able men; but none of them has drawn such wonderful audiences.
 The only church in Washington which has chime bells is the Metropoli- tan. Everyone who has visited this city and remained over Sunday has heard them. Thanksgiving day, No vember 30, 1871, the spire, with chime of bells, was dedicated. The spire was named after Mir. Thomas Kelso, of Bal timore, who gave 5000 for its erec- tion-he had previously given 1000 for the erection of the church. The chimes were the gift of several indi- viduals. For fifteen years the chimes were in charge of Prof. Frederick Windows, who rang out each New Year and celebrated all public holidays by their ringing. In common with very many others who were prominent in the Metropolitan church in its most prosperous and popular days, he has been gathered unto his fathers.
 At the last anniversary celebration of the founding of the church many people of prominence narrated their experiences and recollections of the church and its work. Mrs. John A. Logan delivered an impressive address. She named many men of note who had worshiped there, and, in reference to Gen. Grant, she said: "A few of us recall another, who, when chief magis- trate of all the nation, would come regularly with his family and sit in the pew that is still dedicated to the presi- dent of the United States. The sphinx like face he wore to the world bore an- other expression when he worshiped at the throne of Him who had guided his footsteps through all the labyrinths of wars mysterious ways. When the benediction: Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow commenced, he would quietly rise, and slipping out of the small door at the side of the pull pit, would go down and out to avoid the stare of curious eyes, of those who seemed not to remember that there was time and place for everything"
 Concerning her distinguished hus- band, the great volunteer soldier, the eloquent statesman, she said: How shall I speak of another who came and went an humble and sincere worshiper at this shrine? Communion Sunday, December 5, 1886, we knelt together here at the railing and partook of the last sacrament. On the 10th he was taken i'll, on the 26th, with the sound of Dr. Newman's voice petitioning the Heavenly Father for the repose of his soul ringing in his ears, his righteous spirit took flight, and I know that he is now partaker of the joys of heaven ly life in the eternal home above. The tablet on your walls will testify to the presence of Gen. John A. Logan in this church, long after the last of us has passed away"
 The presence of Mary Logan was tacit testimony to the fact that not only great men have worshiped here, but that great and noble women have also bowed their heads and lifted up their souls to God in this sacred place: for the wife of the great soldier is one ot the noblest and best of the good women of our country.
