EPWORTH LEAGUE MASS MEETING.
Chattanooga Convention Discussed
Address by a Salvation Army Soldier.

The torrid temperature of last night did
not prevent the filling Of Roberts Park
Church, where a mass meeting of Epworth
Leaguers was held. The church was like
an oven, but the leaguers remained and
listened to the address ,ill the time came for
the individuals 10 make their own sugges-
tions, and then entered into the spirit of the
occasion with a vim. Mr.. wilkins spoke
of the ARRANGEMENTS that were being made
for the Internal onal' convention, to be held
at Chattanooga, giving the details of what
was being done 10 care for the visitors by
the city, and what was expected of the con-
yention. which will include this year repre-
sentatives from the leagues in Canada and
In the NJ. Z. Church South.
The address of Mr.. Talbot was especially
on the work OF the league and was full of
practical points. At the conclusion of his
address a representative from the Salvation
Army responded to a request TO speak, and
then the individual Members were asked TO
say a word or two.

WANT SAND UNDER 1T
n. MERIDIAN ST. PROPERTY OWNERS
PROTEST AGAINST CONCRETE.
Tell n Council committee How
They Prefer to Have the Street
Paved.

There was an outpouring last night of
citizens and property holders of Meridian
street property at the meeting Of the
Council committee on streets and alleys. 1t
seems that only one side was represented
pathy with the proposition to have a
block pavement on a sand foundation. 1t
is the sand foundation that caused the con-
troversy, and there was a degree OF earn
estness in the arguments that was made
that seemed to say that the Meridian
street men know their business and are
going to have what they want. The crowd
went after the committee in a determined
way.
Allen Fletcher addressed the committee
and said that Meridian street was the only
paved street in the city for a number of
years. The blocks were on a sand founda-
ton and had worn remarkably well. He
for one did not want, he said, TO expert
ment by trying another kind of pavement.
Z. B.. Martindale told the committee that
the number who had demonstrated against
the concrete foundation represent from 20
to 50 per cent of the property owners on
the street; IL the Board of Works, he said.
had required the sewer contractors TO re-
place the docks as tney were DelOIe tHS
sewer was constructed, it would still be
in fairly good condition. There had never,
he said, been more than $500 spent in re-
pairs on the street. A concrete base, he
claimed, would make a stiff street. one
worse than brick or asphalt. George r.
Evans said he had lived on this street
for a long number of years and had noticed
that when the blocks were taken up on
two different occasions by the water works
company, the sand was packed with the
solidity almost of concrete and that the
it was properly relaid. he said that there
are a hundred out of the $50 men living on
the street where 1t is proposed to renew
ness men as any member of the Board of
Works, and who know what they want.
j. Cooper objected, he said, to the
concrete base because ii tends to drive
leaking gas to the curbs, which there
destroys the vitality of the roots Of trees.
V. T. Malott said that the concrete base
is not so desirable. The sentiment which
was impressed upon the committee was
that the property owners, while they want
the street improved, want il improved their
way and would rather wait for a new
board than TO accept the decision of this
one. Some of the speakers said that
they represent men who are able TO pay
for the street, and when it wears out
will promptly pay for another. There were
present nearly all the interested property
owners. John S. Spann, r. r. Shiel, r. s.
Mckee, c. G.. Cornelius, w. II. Bennett,
Milton Robertson, Fred Fahnley, besides
those mentioned, addressed the board.

WILL SUMMIT TO NO GOUGE.
Mayor Denny Prefers to Stop the
AsphaIt Building.


The representatives of the Mexican As
phalt Company called on Mayor Denny
again yesterday and asked for a meeting
with the Board of Works. The Mayor
piled Mr.. Crichfeld with questions and
found, he says, that Crichfield is well
posted upon the history of asphalt and
the companies operating in America. While
the sentiment is strongly against expert
ments there is a favorable impression
among the city officials that the Mex
lean company is all right and is entitled
to enter into competition with the other
companies. The Mayor does not believe
Crichfeld's charge that the competing COM
panies in this city are in combination,
because they nave to make oath that they
are not. Still. ii is believed by him and
the board that prices for asphalt paving
are going up, and the cause of the de-
lay i'm the award of the Fort Wayne-ave-
nue. contract is that, the board wants an
opinion from the city engineer, showing
the comparative price of asphalt this year
and last.
81 am in favor said Mayor Denny. yes
terday, "of stopping the building of as
phalt streets rather than submit to a
gouge on the part of the companies. We
can content ourselves with brick on some
streets, or with wood block, and in some
others the bowldering can be repaired so
ton among the companies. | am getting
more and more averse to brick pavements,
because l think they are noisy, rough and
chip off too much, but rather than have
the property owners charged too much We
will have brick or wood block Streets"

A ROPE OF BED CLOTHES.


James b. Wells. a patient sent to the
Central Insane Hospital from Morgan
county in 1890 escaped from that institution
late Tuesday night by lowering himself
from a window by means of a rope made
OF bed clothing. He was fifty years of

kill his father-in-law before he was sent
TO the asylum. Wells was confined in the
fourth story OF the south wing. His fight
was known about midnight, several of the
patients informing the Waterman. 1t is
supposed the patients assisted Wells in his

Vegetable Flay0ring.

In the window Of great confectioner's
shop on Broadway, New York city, is d
statue of the Venus of. Milo. 1t is Of
colossal size like the original-in fact
cast-but the remarkable thing about it
is that it is composed entirely of choco-
late. A most appetizing female this is,
but she would not be really good to eat
as she stands, because she lacks vanilla.
Chocolate is not very good without
vanilla for favoring. There are plenty
of other delicious things which would not
be 80 at all without its aid. 1t enters
into the manufacture of candy, pastry,
ices, lioueurs, cordials, and even per.
fumery.
The bean is of Mexican origin, al
though found in almost every tropical
country. 1t is vine of tho orchid kind,
with sea- green foliage, thriving best in
dense forests, where its branches climb
and interIace with the trees. This is
when it grows wild, but it is cultivated
with profit. The plant begins to yield in
its third year and continues to bear until
its thirtieth year, tho beans being gath
cred in green state before they have
| matured.
There arc two ways of curing vanilla.
One is to lay the beans on cloths spread
upon tho ground and exposed to the sun.
Thus treated they attain a dark brown
color at tho end of two months, when
they are punched in bundles and packed
in tin boxes for exporting. Tho second
method consists in immorsng the beans
in boiling water until they become white.
They are then exposed for few hours
to the sum- after which they are covered
with oil of the cashew nut.
There are four qualities of vanilla and
these arc determined by the length and
size of the bean, it being found that the
flavor and perfume are in direct ratio
to the weight and measurement. The
best and largest beans exude u sort of
crystal frosting, which covers their sur
face. These crystals arc found to ho
almost pure benzoic acid
When ono buys chocolate, it is found
of various prices. If you 60 to first
rate confeotioner's you will find it at so
cents pound, rs cents, 81, and even
higher. However, the quality of the
chocolate is about tho same. The diff
| ference is in tho amount of vanilla. The
difference is not sufficient to be OF any
Importance in tho cost of production. but
tho flavor is improved proportiopately
and the price is put on with a due respect
for the imagination of the consumer.
All the same, tho Venus of Milo in tho
candy maker window would be havorless
indeed without tho aid of this humble
bean from tho south. 1t is said that
when confectinuer employs new hand,
usually woman, no turns her loose
among the candies and requests that she
help herself. Thus her appetite becomes
Immediately cloyed by surfeit. II tho
most avid devourer of sweetmeats were
asked to consume in her lifetime Venus
of Milo containing, like the one described,
1925 pounds of chocolate and delioiously
| favored with vanilla, it is likely that she
would lose f-hand and forever her "p'

ACROSS THE ATLANTIC.
The First Great Ocean Steamship
Race.

There are, undoubtedly, many men
and women in New York o-day who
went down to the Battery and cheered
and waved their hands in greeting to the
first steamship that entered this port
from Europe. This important event
took place on April 23, 1888, and it was
doubly interesting and significant be-
cause not only the first Transatlantic
steamship came to anchor in the harbor
on that day, but the second also; steam
travel across the sea thus beginning with
race that was earnestly contested and
brilliantly won. Furthermore it was a
race that attracted infinitely more at
tention than any OF the con-
tests that have succeeded it. Two
stcam-vessels had crossed the Atlantic in
years previous, both having started from
this side; the Savannah, from Savannah,
in 1919; and the Royal William, from
Quebec, in 1881; but neither of these
voyages had demonstrated the feasibility
of abandoning the fine sailing packets
and clippers for steamers when it came
to long voyage. The Savannah used
both steam and sail during eighteen of
twenty five days required for passage
to Liverpool, and more than one clipper
overlook and passed her during the voy-
age. The Royal William had to utilize
all her hold for coal IN order to carry
sufficient fuel to insure completion Of
the voyage. Public interest accordingly,
was deeply stirred on both sides of the
ocean when, in 1887, it was learned that
two steam vessels were ON the stocks,
building for the American service. These
were the Sirius, at London, and thG
Great Western, at Bristol. 1t was these
vessels that made the first race; the
Sirius making the trip, measured from
Queenstown, in eighteen and half days,
and the Great Western in fourteen and a
half days. The Sirius, having had near
| ly four days start, came in few hours
ahead of the winner. She brought seven
passengers, and whether the Great Wes-
tern had Others than her crew on board,
cannot now be ascertained. IL Scribner.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

The best crop to grow in an apple
orchard is apples.
Every piece of ground put into ear
ly vegetables should produce at least
two crops year.
In France, chickens are not raised
for the market; eggs and young fatted
fowls are the ends kept in view.
See that the hens have plenty OF
sand or gravel. They have no teeth,
and must have gravel to grind the food
in the gizzard.
As the peas, radishes and early po-
tatoes are taken off, do not let the
land lie idle and grow q crop of weeds.
Set out cabbages, celery, or SOW tur-
nips.
In the precise meaning of the term,
there is no poultry farming in France.
But there is poultry keeping" and
very generally followed by peasants
and small farmers.
As hay is made when tho the sun
shines, so is money increased to that
dairyman who manages so that his
cows yield milk abundantly when
dairy prices are high.
Space, air, sun and pure water are
essentials to success in poultry rails
ing. In yards where trees cannot be
raised. few shrubs will repay plant
ing; in summer these will form a
shade, and in the event of sudden rain
shelter.
To preserve eggs it is not absolutely
ESSENTIAL to to pack them in anything,
if you have cool place and can, place
them on shelves where they can be
turned three or four times a week.
Eggs from hens not with males will
keep where fertile eggs will not.
Many amateur growers plant tree,
with enthusiasm and then grow dis.

FEEDING SOFT FOOD TO HENS.

To keep a hen in good condition fo1
laying, she should never have full
crop during the day. 1t is not wrong
to give light meal of mixed food,
warm in the morning. in the trough,
but such meal should be only one
fourth the quantity the hens require.
They should go away from the trough
unsatisfied, and should then seek their
food, deriving it grain by grain, en-
gaging in healthy exercise in order
to obtain it, and in such circumstances
the food will be passed into the giz-
zard slowly and be better digested.
Gradually the hen will accumulate suf-
fcient food to provide for the night,
going on the roost with full crop,
where she can leisurely forward it
from the crop to the gizzard. Feeding
soft food leads to many errors on the
part of the beginner, causing him to
overfeed and pamper his hens, and by
it they will reach condition that is
entirely antagonistic to laying. 1t is
much better to feed hard grains only
than to feed from a trough, unless the
soft food is carefully measured. A
quart of mixed. ground grain, moist
ened and in a crumbly condition,
should be sufficient for forty hens as a
"starter" for the morning, but two
quarts of whole grain should then be
scattered in litter for them TO seek
and secure for themselves. Farm and
