SELECTING WATCHERS FOR THE POLLS.

SELECTING WATCHERS FOR THE POLLS
The Advisory Committee of the Committee of
Fifty had its usual session at the Gilsey House
headquarters yesterday afternoon. and carefully
considered the question Of providing watchers at the
polls in the interest OF the Fusion ticket. After
consulting with members of the Republican Cam
paign Committee 1t was decided to ask the Good
Government clubs to furnish as many volunteer
watchers possible.
AT the Good Government headquarters last even
ing Mr. Klein said that the Campaign Committee, OF
which he was the chairman would do everything
In its power to secure watchers among the members
OF the Good Government clubs While II might not
be possible to get volunteer watchers for all OF the
polling places in the city he said. there was every
reason to hope that members Of the clubs would
volunteer for the service In such numbers tnat most
OF the election districts In the lower part OF the
city could be supplied.
Cornelius Van Cott, the chairman of the Repub-
lican Campaign Committee. said that there would
be Republican watchers at the polls In most OF the
election districts. and they would cooperate with
the Good Government Club men.

CARL SCHURz'S POINTS.

Ex-Secretary Schurz received with pro-
longed applause In referring TO those OF the
Germans and members Of Good Government clubs
whose hearts were not altogether in the Fusion
Anti-Tammany movement" Mr. Schurz said that
while he was a German by nativity he was above
all an American citizen and had been one for
forty years. He was proud Of his German origin
and OF the millions Of Germans who had come 10
help build up this country. and OF whom so many
had focked to the defence OF the Nations llfe At
tention should not be diverted from the vital Is
sues by talk about the enforcement of the excise

Of wine or a glass Of beer but II would scorch his

great CITY with it's 1000 900 habitants, over again
10 the corrupt reign of robber Tammany. Good
Government clubs should not be treated as or
eanizations Of mere misguided youths. Nothing
better could happen for this country than the en-
ustment of young men in active political service.
The Good Government clubs in this city probably
assured the doing Of better work than could
otherwise have been accomplished.
II for the accomplishment OF great public good
roundab bout ways were necessary they snould not

work and vote only with those whose thoughts
were identical with their own they would cut a

After the chickens are fully grown
they must be fattened for about three
weeks before being killed. Many peo-
pie make their chickens thinner rather
than fatter during this process, even
il they do not kill them preinaturely.
The mistake is that they put the birds
up and then begin rich, fattening
food right away, and the result is that
the birds sicken.
Feed for the first week on the same
kind of food that the birds have been
having previously, without giving too
much; then gradually increase the
quantity and richness, noticing by
careful examination of the crop before
each meal whether or not the food is
being digested. If, on going to feed,
the crop is still full with the last meal,
stop a meal, and do not feed SO often
for day or two. After about three
weeks the chickens ought to be in
prime condition for the table.
