Church Dedication in Washington.

RoCKLAND, Feb. II. The dedicatory
c remonies over the new Methodist church
in Washington began to day and will last
through tomorrow. To-day's program
included sermons by Rev. Thomas STRAIT
ton of this city and Rev. John Pettengill
OF Jefferson. The new church is the out
growth of what used to be Il small union
church, where worshippers of the varied
denominations gathered. For some Tea-
son the church did not prosper, and the
attendance diminished so rapidly that ser
vices were finally held only at infrequent
periods. At this juncture came Rev. Carl
+. Peterson, under whom there at once
sprang up strong interest in religious
work, and encouraged by the spirit
of revival shown, he took steps toward
having new and more commodious struc-
ture built
The church is 50 by IS feet in size, with
tower 80 feet in height. The auditorium
is 81 by 81 feet. The English cathedral
windows are a feature, and were present
ed as memorials by the following: Mrs.
t. S. Bowde1, in memory of her parents,
Rev. and Mrs. Warren W. Davis; w. c.

high among remedies, and particularly high
as catarrh medicine Ely Brothers, we
are informed, have had long experience as
druggists and pharmacists, aud remedy
coming from such source should have the
confidence of those desiring a reliable pre-
paration. One fact that should inspire con.
fidence in their catarrh cure (Ely's Cream
Balm) is that they are willing to have it put
to the test, and in order that every one may
try it they are now offering generous trial

that the supreme court had practically

fact that the recent litigation in con-

CONSUMPTION CONTROL

The Medical record of New York is
one of the great medical journals of the
world. This paper has been giving large
consideration to consumption disinfec-
ton. An exceedingly valuable article
in it's issue of January 25th points out
the ultimate aim Of the health boards
to be the stamping out of this terrible
infection by all the aids strong laws
firmly and humanely executed can give.
1t also admits that this ultimate aim
must be reached by an educatio of the
public and by gradual approaches. Our
own city has taken one good forward
step in prohibiting splitting on the side
walks. That ordinance should be kept
alive. Although not vet brought to the
test of an arrest of its violation, it has
produced a great reduction in the dirty
and dangerous practice of splitting all
over everything. The next place to at
tack the splitting habit is in street cars
and in coaches and sleeping cars on our
railroads. Trains come into Los An
geles every day in which more or less
expectoration will be found under a
majority Of the seats. In the forward
cars it is often impo ssible to find a seat
the floor under which is not wet and
filthy with spit. In a train like the linn
tied the cars contain spittoons. In the
smoking compartments the cigar
stumps act as efficient disinfectants, but
in the sleeping cars there is no disin-
fectant. This is extremely dangerous.
The bedding, curtains and upholstery
of sleeping cars in which persons i'll
with any communicable disease have
been closely confined must be unsafe for
others. The cleaning of railroad cars
is very superficial 1t is for the most
part a lick and a promise. There is no
disnfection. The suggestion in the
Medical Record on diminishing the dan
ger from travelling consumptives is that
all such patients must be notified to the
public health officer and when they
travel it should be on a permit, under
precautions in the transit and provi-
sion for complete disinfection of bed
ding, blankets, carpets, upholstery, ETC.,
after the sick person. leaves the car.
This is some distance off. In the mean

THE CITRUS FAIR.
To Open on the 23d Instant-Condition
of Competition.

The Los Angeles chamber of commerce
has decided to give three gold medals
for the best display of citrus fruits
made at the citrus exhibit which will
open at the rooms February 23d. Com
petition for the medals Is open to all
growers of citrus fruit in Southern Cal
ifornia. The exhibit will last five days
and is already attracting a great deal
of attention.
The following medals will be awarded:
Glass 1-For best box Washington
navel oranges grown by exhibitor.
Glass 2-For best box lemons grown by
exhibitor.
Glass 3-For best box of any variety
other than Washington navels grown by
exhibitor.
Entries can be made up to and includ-
ing February 2Sd.
One box of each variety from each in
dividual grower. No entry fee will be
the property of the chamber of COM
merce. No admission fee will be
charged at the door. The exhibit will
be free to all visitors.
Fruit intended for exhibit, addressed
to the chamber Of commerce, Los Ange
les, will be sent by the railroad compa-
nies as freight free of charge, On ar
rival the chamber of commerte will re-
ceive and place 1t in position without
any expense to exhibitor.
Each box must be commercially pack
ed, California or Messina style. All
paper wrappers must be perfectly plain;
but colored paper may be used. No
brand or mark of any description will
be allowed on or within the box. A per-
feet pack entities the grower to credit
of ten points.
The exhibitors name, postofice ad-
dress, variety of fruit, plainly written
on a card, must be attached to each box.
A record will be made ON a numbered d.
agram prepared by the superintendent.
on which will be noted the name and ad-
dress, the card detached and number
placed thereon instead; so that the
judges will have no opportunity of know
ing whose fruit they are examining.
When the awards are made known the
names will be replaced and each indi-
vidual given full credit for his donation.
The California scale for judging citrus
fruits, adopted by the state board Of
horticulture twill be used as far as prac-
tcable. Under this scale fruit larger
than three and quarter inches In diam
eter, or smaller than two and seven
sixteenths in diameter, is subject to dis
count A total number of Ito points Will
constitute perfection; the extra ten
points being added for pack and pack
age.
Three competent judges will be select
ed by the committee. These judges will
not be competitors.

PRIVILEGES OF A LAWYERS
TONGUE

The Chicago Chronicle refers editori-
ally to a decision by the appellate court
which should interest courts and law
yers everywhere. The Chronicle says:
In the appellate court of this district
last week an important decision was rem
dered on the subject of an attorneys
liberty of speech in addressing jury.
The case was that of Jessie Kruger, 5
years old, who was run over by Mad
ison street cable car and so badly in
jured that amputation of one leg was
necessary. She was otherwise injured,
as alleged
The complaint of the plaintiff included
a charge that her matrimonial pros
poets, If she should reach marriageable
age, were seriously impaired, if not de-
stroyed. There were other averments,
one of which was that the gong of the
car was not sounded to give warning at
the street crossing and that the train
was not run at safe rate of speed. The
suit was brought by the next friend"
of the little girl. The accident occurred
in 1892, so she is now 9 years old.
On the trial Of the case in the superior
court, before Judge Sears, a verdict of
$4,000 was rendered against the street
railway company. 1t is evident that
Judge Sears thought the amount of dam
ages was excessive, for he required that
SIS, 900 should be remitted as a condition
of refusing a new trial. This left judg-
ment of $4,000, which was entered up.
The appellate court set aside this judg-
ment, mainly on the ground that the
attorney for the plaintiff in summing
up" to the jury had used Incorporate
language and had misrepresented parts
of the testimony. He called the grip
machinery Of death" which should be
operated with extreme care. He said the
grips were modern juggernauts that
crush and mangle and maim." He de-
nounced the gripman as careless, and
said: "You know that if the gripman
had been looking the child would not
have been struck" There was much
more of the same kind.
The appellate court, by Judge Water
man, spoke Of the poison engendered
Tin the mind of the jury by a malicious
ly unfair and unjust statement of coun-
sell" The court said that a grip is not
IAN instrument of death nor a
juggernaut." The gripman was vim
dicated as to an insinuation that he had
been actuated by malice or had shown
lack of mercy" in running over the
child.
In conclusion the appellate court said
that the verdict of $50, 900 was Startling
in its magnitude" and was the result in
part of 1.-The inflammatory and improper
address of counsel" The reduction of
the Judgment to 5000 was commended,
but the plaintiff was still Sin possession
of the substantial fruits of an unfair
proceeding"
