 REFITTED MIDDLE STREET ESTABLISH
 MENT.
 The Plumb & Winton Go. are now To- cated in their new building at 34-3S Mid dle street, and are able to transact their business of pork packing and general this line in the vicinity. It will be re- membered that the Plumb 6 Winton Go. were burned out of their establishment in Middle street, last fall, with consider able of loss, and the building gutted. The business was immediately removed to Water street, and conducted under most unfayorable conditions in eramped quarters, while the new building was being erected on the old site. The new structure is especially adapted for the business of the concern, and is & model of it's kind in it's entirety. The cold stor- age department is constructed on modern principles, and includes five rooms, one on each floor. in which a temperature of 26 degrees may be steadily maintained. The process is simple, consisting of com pressed ammonia and brine, forced through pipes surrounding the rooms.
 On the top floor of the building the lard tanks are located and connected with the cooking tanks on the floor be- low by piping. The smokehouse is 3 feature of the new building. It has al- ways been customary to smoke the hams by means of hickory wood, while in the new structure steam heating apparatus has been fitted for the purpose. It Is much more serviceable and very much cleaner. The entire building will be lighted by electricity, an electric plant being part of the equipment of the plant. An artesian well has been sunk in the cellar, 1a0 feet deep, and the entire estab- lishment receives it's supply from this, 1t being pumped throughout the building by 8 large force pump. The front portion of the lower floor Is occupied by offices, which are finely furnished.

During the past year, ha with the deacons, had made over 900 calls and been cordially received. The church had added over 200 to It's membership in three years and

The folly of wrongdoing may be illus trated in many ways. The very word "wrong" means crooked" twisted" |" wrung out of shape. There is natural and proper form to conduct and charac- flower, or to horse or dog or any creature or thing. An evil dOer is very spIlY called "a crooked stick" He is out of shape, twisted, wry.
 Man was created to do right. Right eousuess is the normal condition. We naturally expect each other to do right. We are not surprised nor are we disap- pointed or displeased with that which Is right and good. We approve what ia right and good as being what we ex- pect. And so, when one does wrong his conduct is striking and startling be- cause it shocks our sense of right.
 There is natural law of proportion to conduct and character, just as there is to the human body. If mans foot is ten inches long, his legs and arms and body ought to be in like proportion. Give the naturalist one bone of an animal and by the laws of comparative anatomy he will construct the whole skelton ot the beast. So the character of person may be discovered by single act of which he may not be conscious at the moment. The detective eften spots his man by some little, queer, abnormal action which Is the clue to some crooked conduct.
 The criminal not only violates the civil law but he violates the law of his own life. He throws the faculties of his mental And moral nature out of balance and harmony. He Is out of shape IS to his character. He becomes at once de- formed as to his soul. He is not his true and proper self. He knows 1t, feels 1t, acts 1t and looks 1t. Even the effort to conceal his secret betrsys it.
 AS Emerson says: "His sin bedAubs him, mars all his good impression. Men know not why they do not trust him :; but they do not trust him. A broken complexion, swinish look, ungenerous acts, and the want of due Enowledge,- all blab."
 Wrong may have temporary escape from justice but it cannot succeed and will surely be overtaken and must at last, here, or elsewhere, pay the full penalty of the law.
 The man who wants to do right Is In sympathy with the law, in line with the truth, and in harmony with the univer- sal nature of things whether physical or moral,
 The man who evades and defies the law puts himself out of gear and out of Joint with God and the universe of nature; asd sooner or later he will be- tray himself as the criminal and sinner that he Is. The man who Is fool enough to plan to sin and commit crime Is also fool enough at the same time to leave some clue which first or last will find him out and bring him to justice-[O. O. Wright.
