The Egyptian Kabob.

Every country has its own little delica-
cies and Egypt is famous for its kabobs.
The kabob is broiled meat. but is broiled
IN so ridiculous fashion as to be really
funny. The peddler uses little charcoal
furnace, something like those in use by
our plumbers. In 1t he keeps up a small
but hot fire. Attached to the side of the
furnace are a lot of iron skewers. When a
customer approaches the hawker takes a
small piece of meat, mutton or goat. the
latter being the most popular; cuts it with
sharp knife into long ribbon, winds it
around the skewer and places it upon the
charcoal fire. Some of the drippings are
collected and with little salt and spice
make pleasant sauce for the kabob when
it is done.

The New College.

The prospect of johnson City get
ting the big college is very fattering
indeed. The citizens are taking kindly
to the proposition of the synodical
committee, and will no donbt be able
to make the best offer along the line.
For so years the boards have been
trying to solve the problem presented
by Washington and Tusculum colleges
which are rivalPresbyterian institutions
so close together that the church thinks
that it is waste of money to endow
both of them.
The bursting of the boom of Johnson
City was at last presented solution
for it. An option has been obtained on
the Carnegie hotel for $4,000 which
cost 800, 900. At a meeting last Friday
night committee composed as follows
was appointed to solicit subscription
from the citizens: VIM. G.. Mathes
chairman, DIR. W. J. Miller, Geo. Wof-
ford, J. W. Crumley, J. G. Campbell,
A. F. Hoss and Prof. W. A. Kite.
1t is the purpnse of this committee
to raise $4,000, and placing it with the
$50, 900 option submit it to the synodi-
cal board having the church PROPOSE
ton in charge.
This is no doubt the best inducement
which can be offered for the location of
the college, and it seems that the peo-
pie are going to respond cheerfully to
the call for subscription. $4,000 had
been made up yesterday, and another
public meeting is called for tomorrow
friday night at Jobe's opera house
to get further expression of the
people.
This is an opportunity the people of
johnson City can not afford to miss.
The church and wealthy individuals
have expressed a willingness to give a
liberal endowment if the rivalry of
the two old colleges could be done
away with.
The synodical committee has decided
to erect college some where ON the
railroad between Bristol and Morris
town. The old colleges are to do aca-
demic work and act as feeders to the
main institution, which is to be the col
legiate department. 1t will be high
grade, well equipped and co-education-

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE,
Residence Of DR.. w. J. Miller Burned
to the Ground Wednesday Noon,


One of the most disasterious fires the
city has had for some time, occurred
on Roam hill about 10 o'clock Wednes-
day, resulting in the total obstruction
of the handsome residence of DR.. W. j.
Miller.
The property was valued at 5000
and was covered with 50, 900 insurance.
The building burned very slowly and
nearly all the household effects were
saved,
The location of the house was higher
than the reservoir and no water could
be had. All the fireman could do was
to carry out the furniture. This was
attended by the usual excitement and
damage. 1t was, however, fully COW
cred by insurance.
The fire is supposed to have original
ed from defect in the kitchen fue, as
it was first discovered emanating from
that part of the house.
A large crowd quickly gethered not
withstanding the house was highly
elevated above the city and willing and
strong hands did all they could to
render the loss as small as possible.
The we'll known rule of contraries
was in vogue and some funny things
occurred.
One fellow, high ranking fireman,
dashed into an upstairs room and seiz-
ing fine bedstead hurled it out of the
door on to the heads of those below,
nearly killing two men. Then he calmly
picked up river rock which had been
used to prop back door and carried
it down carefully, saying to the by
ISLANDERS, "Save this"
A couple of men were engaged in
saving the windows. The first thing
they did was to smash out the glass
then break the sash to pieces.
One fellow rushed to the door with {
can of soft soap and, showing it int
the face of the editor of this paper
said, "Save tais." Suspecting its con
tents, he refused to touch it, as he USED
Pears. The man set it down quietl,
and threw ! glass jar of peach pre-
serves oYS into the garden, breaking
it to pieces.
