with charcoal. Put meat hooks in
strip of joist and place it across the
top of barrel. Have a netting to
spread over this. This barrel may be
kept in cool place, and pieces of
meat hung on the hooks. The char
coal will keep the atmosphere dry and
sweet, and the netting will be pro-
lection against insects. Should there
be danger from rats or mice, use wire
netting.
Fresh fish may be rubbed with salt,
wrapped in paper, and buried in bed
of charcoal. Of course, the charcoal
in boxes and barrels should be chang
ed at least once month. It can be
uesd for lighting fires or for broiling
meats or fish. If, however, it is diff
cult to get a good supply of charcoal,
the old can be purified by putting it
into the stove with a few lighted
chips, and allowing it to burn until
red hot. At this stage open. all the
windows to let the gas pass off; then
close the draughts of the stove, re-
move the covers and leave the room.
When the charcoal becomes cold, it
will be ready for use again.
If there is any question as to the
purity of the water, none of it should
be. used for drinking or cooking pur>
poses unless it is first boiled. There
are several other methods of purify
ing water, but boiling is the safest of
all. When water is tainted by decay
ing vegetable matter, several methods
are used to purify it. It may be boil
ed or filtered through charcoal or oak
chips, or a little alum may be added
The addition of the astringent wood
or the alum causes the albuminous
matter in the water to coagulate and
fall to the bottom, and the purified
water can be poured off. Religious

The settlers daughter was not Sc
riously injured by her fall. They re-
placed the artists hat on her heavy
curls, and when the crisp night winds
had blown on her face a moment she
was herself again, and mounting her
famed and weary horse led the way
toward her home, in which direction
she had been riding when the fall
came.
Not word had been spoken. The
men silently followed their leader who
rode beside the girl. At last, when
the dark contour of the settlers cabin
showed against the blue of the sky,
Mott turned,-
'You can 60 now," were his orders,
"and we'll finish the job some other
time"

lowed his Words
'You can go, too; you will never
finish tonights job, for Mr. Williams
work is done here and he is far away
by this time
The leader, cowed by the words, fol-
lowed his dispensing men, and the dar-
chase sought her low-roofed bed
chamber again, half frightened, half
glad over the nights happenings.
Williams was indeed far away but
not so far that he did not very soon
call to thank his rescuer for her cour-
ageous action.

IN THE CHANCERY COURT.
Three Suits Were Filed Yesterday One For
 Divorce For Abandonment

Tn the chancery court yesterday Lillie T. Fitzpatrick, pro ami, filed suit against her husband, J. w. Fitzpatrick, for a divorce on the grounds of alleged aban- donment.
 Mrs. Eliza A. Gillen sued the Besss- mer Savings bank to have mortgage declared null and void. She alleges that her husband borrowed $1,500 from the bank without her knowledge and con- sent. She says she did not derive any benefit from the money, but she was persuaded to sign a mortgage on lot 20, block 347 Bessemer, to insure the payment of her husbands promissory note. She ayers that the note has been paid, but the bank has her property advertised for sale. She seeks an in junction to prohibit the sale of the prop erty and also asks that the mortgage be declared null and void.
 The same plaintiff sues William B. Swan on case very similar. She ayers that her husband borrowed $2,000 and she was benefited by only about $200 of that amount. Her property is also advertised for sale, and she seeks an injunction to restrain it. In this case the property is lots 22 and 23, block BAT Bessemer. She asks that the mortgage be declared null and void.

Is now fixed for gold. They further contend that the demand thus created by law will be sufficient to utilize all the silver presented, and thus the bull lion value will be raised to the coinage value. Some of our opponents have in- sisted that silver at $1.29 an ounce would make the silver dollar as hard to obtain as the gold dollar Is now. but they ignore the fact that increased volume of standard money will lessen the purchasing power of dollar whether it be of silver or gold, and thus restore prices to the bimetallic level.'
 In conclusion, MH Bryan points out just what the republican party has done since It's accession to power, and calls attention to its claims to have a. hand in bringing about this prosperity about which the republican papers are saying so much. He says:
 What has the republican party done to brlrg prosperity to the American pso- pie? Tt cannot be said that the mere election of O republican president upon republican platform brings prosperi y, because business failures and bank fail ures increased after the election Inter- national blmetallfsm canr0I bring pros- pelfty until an interuarticnal agreement becomes more probable tllan it is now Since the republicans have conteiritcd themselves for Lihe present with leglzla- tion on the tariff question, they must look Ito the tariff law and to that alone for such aid as political action can give.
 'HThey are justly entitled to credit for any good which It brings, and justly responsible for amy ir5ury which it in- fiiots. The opponents of Lhe Dingley bill described It's principal features when they called it 1egtsla ton of the trusts, by the trusts and for the trusts.
 "4Tha- the beneficiaries of such law will rejoice is to be expected, but can the republican party show that the law has brought or can bring advantage to line people in general?
 Nothing can better disclose the weak nsss of the republican position than the joy manifested by republicans over the events for which their administration and their policies are in no way respon- efble,"

WILL FIGHT THE CITY.
Master Plumbers Association Opposed to Fees ard Present Inspectors.

The Master Plumbers association met last might at their headquarters in Sec ond avenue. The principal matter con- sidersd was the legal proceedings which the association will institute through their attorneys against the city, looking towards a more just arrangement, as considered by the association, relative to fees demanded by the city for every bid on work by the plumbers. The Plumbers association will also endeavor to get rid of a waste of time, which it is claimed, is unnecessarily imposed on an plumbers in seeking ouh the city en- gineer who issues the permits and who makes all inspections of their work eith- CT in person or by deputation. They claim further that the city engineer or his deputy are not practical plumbers. It is also claimed that the city engineer has at times sent members of ths fire company or the garbage contractor who, it is said, are also usually thoroughly ignorant of plumbing marters. The plumbers say they suffer a hardship also by being compelled to waste time in waiting for the city engineer when he is not in his office. His office hours, it is said, are from to in the forenoon, half hour at noon, and about an hour in the afternoon. The Master Plumbers association claim that df the deposit fees are removed and competent plumber is put in charge of such in- spection as the city may require, the plumbers will be ena bled to do better work a,1 more reasonable prices.

A SCAR FOR A TEXT.
Incident I'm the BOyhOOd Of Minor
Underworld.

Incident i'm the BOyhOOd Of Major
ButterwOrth.
Commissioner of Patents Butterworth
carries a long scar on the first finger of
his left hand which recalls an interesting
story Of his Juvenile career Some years
before the war young Ben Butterworth,
the son of a good Quaker who was an UNI
compromising abolitionist, was going to
school in southern Ohio. That part of
Ohio was one of the hottest battlefields for
the abolition of human slavery. While
there were no slaves there, it was only
necessary to go across the southern border
to find plenty of them in Kentucky aud
Virginia. The prevailing sentiment was
averse to the doctrines of the aboliticnists,
and the father of Ben Butterworth was
looked upon as dangerous element In
the community, standing up he did on
all occasions in condemnation of the in
stitution of slavery. He was one of those
sturdy Quakers who adhered to the thee"
and thou" Of the patriarchs as forms of
speech and dressed himself and family In
the simple garb Of the sect to which he
belonged.
While it is not likely that little Ben But
terworth at the tender age of ten had any
slavery, he came in for his full share of
ostracism and social persecution that his
fathers doctrines stirred up.
1t happened that one day in school young
restlessness placed his hand on the back
of the seat Immediately in front of him.
The occupant of that seat had no use for a
Niger lover" as the abolitionists were
dubbed in that Day, and he gave a sweep
ing dash with his jack-knife in Ben's
direction, cutting long cash, which Is
father to the scar the commissioner now
bears. Young Ben gave such a yell as a
boy of his age and healthy lungs might De
expected to emit under the circumstances,
but while the teacher and scholars were
eager to see what the trouble was, there
WAS little evidence that it was generally
condemned. The little abolitionist had got
what he deserved in the opinion of many,
and SO strong was the feeling against him
the teacher declined to punish the boy who
made use of his jack-knife.
Years after that incident found Ben But
terworth and the boy who had cut him
working side by side in politics, both stanch
republicans, the user of the jack-knife as
uncompromisingly opposed to the institu-
ton of slavery as was the victim of its
