YET WITHOUT A PASTOR
Trinity Presbyterian Church
Failed to Agree on
One.

The congregation of Trinity Presby-
teriau Church held an interesting meet
ing last night in the church edifiee, corner
of Twenty-third and Capp streets. Re.
ports of the various officers showed the
affairs of the church to be in good condi-
ton, $500 OF the mortgage having been
paid off to the Hibernia Bank since the
last report.
The election OF officers was unanim Gus
in each case, Captain Johnson, William
Wallace and DR.. Stratton being reelected
to succeed themselves as elders.
j. d. Jessup, John A. Weston, A. c.
Somers and George Brown were elected
trustees, Messrs. Somers and Brown being
re-ele cted.
w lillian D. Beatty was elected deacon.
A unanimous vote OF thanks were rendered
the old trustees.
On motion of Mr.. Hulse it was unani.
mously decided to appropriate SIS per
month Tor the support OF a quartet choir.
The election of pastor was discussed,
with Rev. Edwin H. jerks, associate
pastor of tho First Presbyterian Church,
in the chair moderator.
A. b. Cheney introduced a resolution
allowing sick or intirm members of the
congregation to vote by proxy, and he
moved that upon the adoption of the reso-
luton the matter of electing a pastor
should be postponed for two weeks, in
order to notify the sick and infirm of the
proxy resolution.
Mr.. Cheeney's resolution was laid on
the table. and an extended discussion fol-
lowed as to whether the election should
not be postponed. The subject was finally
disposed of by the adoption of Mr.. Steph.
ems motion TO adjourn sine die.
There are three ministers spoken of as
eligible to the pastorate: Rev. Mr..
Thompson of Tacoma, Rev. Mr.. Easton of
Washington, d. c., ana Rev. Mr.. Laverty
OF Los Angeles.

The election took place during what was
nominally called the annual meeting of
the stockholders of the Southern Pacific
Company, but at which no other business
was transacted, except the selection of q
board OF eleven directors for the ensuing
year. c. z. Huntington presided and Sec
retary Z. c. Wright kept tally of the votes
The polls were open from 10 A. NJ to p NJ.
and l, 163, ,972.05 shares were voted out of a
total of ], ,209, $50 20 shares issued.
Mrs. Jane Stanford escorted bv Charles
G. Lathrop, her brother, ana Russell J.
Wilson, her attorney, went il person to
cast he- vote. Her entry in the building
created considerable comment, but was
otherwise devoid of incident. She re-
mained just long enough to deposit her
ballot and pass the time of day with few
OF the directors and then departed for her
home. Her personal interest in the pro-
ceedings thus displayed, is understood to
signify that she will repeat her perform
ance of last year and have her representa-.
tives vote for General Hubbard for presi-
dent. Some say she may select Colonel
Crocker for this compliment. Both gem
tlemen are reported to be averse to her
using their names in this connection, but
have, under the circumstances, no power
to control her action.
None of the directors would state how
they intended to vote for officers of the
Southern Pacific Company to-day, but il
is conceded that the incumb bents will be
returned as follows: President, C. P.
Huntington; vice president G. T. Crocker;
second vice-president, I. II. Hubbard (;
third vice president. J. c. Stubbs

julius kruttschnitt is the new director
of the Southern Pacific Company. He
was elected yesterday by the unanimous
vote of all who took part in the election
as the successor to a. L. Tubbs, de-
ceased.
1t was well understood that there would
be no change in the board OF directors, e1-
cept 20 fill the vacancy caused py the
death of the well-known cordase manu-
facturer, who was an intimate personal
friend of c. p. Huntington, and the result,
SO far as the reelection OF the former ten
directors is concerned, was just what was
expected.
The election was not, however, devoid
OF interest. Both inside and outside the
hive OF railroad employees located at the
corner of Montgomery and Market streets,
speculation has been rife as to who would
be selected as the new director and not
once was the name of General Manager
kruttschnitt mentioned in that conpec-
tion. His election is, therefore, except to
select few. somewhat of an unexpected
outcome. 1t had been supposed that, in
asmuch as the director, whose place it was
the duty of the stockholders to fill, had
been a merchant, his successor would be
chosen from the same field of com mmercial
life. In Justice to the gentleman upon
whom the honor has fallen it must be
stated that his election is most heartily
approved not only by every one connected
with the great corporation, but by those
whose business brings them in contact
with the higher railroad officials.
There was but one ticket in the field
ana not even an attempt at opposition
was manifested to it. The ticket as voted
is as follows:

The Value of Missionary Labor.

A Baptist clergyman of New York is
credited with the assertion that the
Baptist foreign missionaries are sus.
tanned at a less cost than those of any
other denomination. According tc
his computations, the average cost Of
maintenance of a Baptist missionary
INCLUDING native teachers is 5000. 43,
whereas, he says, a Methodist costs
$50 and a Presbyterian 500 more.
The annual cost Of the missionaries, of
the Christian Alliance he places al
S49910. That makes it appear as il
the Baptist missionaries offered the
best investment; butprudent investors
will not divert their funds on the
strength Of these representations
without further investigation. Cheap
labor is not always profitable, and il
is easily possible that one missionary
at $1,000 year might be worth six a.
5000. It takes a frst-rato man to
make frst-rate missionary, and
though it may be possible to maintain
frst-rate American in q foreign land
on 5000. 43 q year, it seem very doubt.
full whether his efficiency can be kept
up at rate as low as that.-Harpers
Weekly.

Average Height of Men.

During the war measurements were
made Of over 100000 men in the
United States Army, and it was found
that the average height Of men born
in the United States was CTS inches.
According to Topinard, the average
height of Englishmen, Scotchmen aud
Swedes is 67.4 inches; Irishmen, ST.
German, 66.2; Frenchmen, .05; Danes,
66.2; Russians, ga; Chinese, Ga
Bushmen, g.: Laplanders, 6O.7; Amer.
lean Indians, 6S.2; Patagonians, 7O.3
Taking these measurements as basis,
the average for the world would be
about 65.S. Natives Of the United
States, it will be observed, are talle,
any other representatives Of the Gnu
casian race, and it is an interesting
fact that residence on this continent,
or, at least, the northern part Of it,
tends to develop all the rae n re.

ments referred to the average height
Of foreign-born citizens was less thar
the average of American-born; bui
greater than the average in their re.
spective countries. The high average
of the Indians is another point il
proof. No statistics Of the height Of
women have ever been tabulated. Ac.
cording to Gerland, the variation il
the height Of females Of the various
races is very much less than of men,
In the shortest and weakest races The
female are physically equal to the
males, and sometimes surpass them.
On the other hand, where the stature
of the males is considerably above the
normal, the female departs little from
it.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

/ A&VOA
Honored With Tombstones.
Where are Americas great horses
buried? This is a question often
asked. It is hard to answer Many
Of Americas greatest turf performers
and greatest sires sleep in unknown
and unmarked graves. The recent
death of the young stallion Domino,
and the mark of respect shown him by
his owners, the Messrs. Keene, in put.
ting an appropriate slab over his
grave, recall the fact that but few Of
the great horses which have died in
this country have any tablet to show
where their bones lie buried.
One of the first horses to have this
mark of respect shown him was Lex.
ington, which on the turf and in the
stud showed himself to be the superi.
or Of any horse then living. The story
Of his triumphs is known to- all lovers
Of the turf, but it is not generally
known that the late A. J. Alexander
was the first man to erect q memorial
stone over the remains Of dead turf
king. When Lexington died it was in
bis stable near the house occupied by
his groom, Henry Overton, and at his
request Lexington was buried not far
away. Mr.. Alexander had an appro.
pirate marble shaft placed 1T the head
Of the grave, on which is recorded
brief mention Of Lexington's victories.
The popular story that the bones Of
Lexington were circulated and are now
on exhibition in the Smithsonian In
stitution at Washington is without foun.
lation in fact, for all that is left of this
wonderful horse, which was the admira.
tion of turfmen of two continents, lies

BRUSSELS Sprouts.

Brussels sprouts are simply supe-
rior variety of cabbage. They are
usually eaten boiled, and served with
cream sauce.
Pick them over carefully; throw
them into pot containing an album
dance of boiling water. Let them boil
twelve minutes, drain them, and throw
them into cold water. When they are
chilled drain them again, and warm
Jhem up in a cream sauce prepared
for a quart Of sprouts by melting a
tablespoonful Of butter with a table,
spoonful of flour, and adding slowly
pint of milk, with salt and pepper.
Let the sprouts simmer slowlyfof five
minutes in this sauce.
# you prefer the sprouts may be
cooked the same length of time in two
la5lespoonfuls of butter. Toss the;
sprouts often to prevent their *'catch :
ing" at the bottom of the pan, and
serve them hot. Some cooks add
easpoonful OF minced parsley to a
dish Of creamed sprouts.
The process of cooling these vege-
tables in cold water is a necessary and
important one. This blanching i'm
proves al members of the cabbage
family. 1t takes away the strong,
rank flavor, and renders the vegetable
delicate and wholesome. It is espe-
cially desirable to blanch cabbage be-
fore cooking it.

Management of House Plants.

L. r. Taft, Of the Michigan Agricul-
taral Experiment Station, writes: For
most Towering plants the windows
opening to the south are preferable to
those with western outlook, as dur
ing the short days of winter the plants
in, the latter will have but little sun,
aud then n,will be too low down near
Tia horizon, For q few plants the
hooking to the. east may be
Fusedand for ferns and similar shade
loving sorts, they are desirable. While
the northern. windows may beiused for
some Of that class Of plants, it is not
desirable exposure.
In case bay window upon the south
side Of the living room can be obtained
for flowers, very good results can be
secured. 1t should be separated
from the room by glass DOORS that can
30 thrown open or closed at pleasure,
out in case they are not to be had,
much Of the labor of keeping the plants
II good condition can be saved, if cur
jains are provided, to be used when
sweeping. In addition to hooks for
hanging baskets and bracket stands
for pot plants, it will be well to have a
shelf, from one to tWofYeet in width,
according to the dimensions Of the
window, upon which to arrange the
smaller plants. This should have side
pieces one to two inches high, and
zinc lining. The bottom could then
be covered with coarse gravel or fine
pebbles, and much better growth
could be secured, as the plants in
small pots would then be less likely to
dry out.
A simple propagating bed can be
very easily arranged by supplying the
necessary clean sand and a lamp to
furnish bottom heat, unless heating
pipes run along under the shelf, when
they would only need to be boxed in.
In case the lamp is used, it will be
necessary to provide some sort of
shield to prevent it from setting fire
to the wooden shelf. A shallow gal
vanized iron pan filled with plaster
suspended above the lamp and close
to the bottom Of the shelf, will answer
the purpose.
If an ordinary window is to be used,
It will be we'll to have similar shelf at
the hight of the window sill. If
made two or three feet longer than the
window is wide, it will hold a consid-
cradle number of plants. For the
bay window and the common window
as we'll, if the size Of the room i'd
mits of it, plant stand with shelves
in the form of stairs, or with a fiat
top, can be used to good advantage to
display the larger plants. By having
it arranged with casters, if the plants
that require high : temperature are
kept upon it, upon cold nights it will
be an easy matter to roll it back from
the window and thus keep the tender
plants from becoming chilled.
