Rules for Brewer and DrinkeF Laid
Down by soientiat.
DR.. Goodfellow, an English analyst of
note, emphatically denies the Oft
heard statement that anybody can
make a good cup of tea" The doctor
has given much consideration to the
cup that cheers and lays down half a
dozen rules for careful consideration.
Here they are; l. Always use good
tea. 2. Use water which has just got
to the boil s. Infuse about four min
utes. A. Do not allow the leaves to
stand in the infusion. 8. Avoid second
brews and used tea leaves, G. II suf-
fering from heart or nervous com
plants only use the very finest quail
ties OF tea, with short infusion. If this
cannot be Afforded give up tea alto
gether Coming down to other details,
DR.. Goodfellow insists on earthen tea
pots, of which there should always be
two, and they should be comfortably
warmed and thoroughly dry before be-
ing used. Then put the required
amount of tea in the pot, and allow It
TO remain with the cover on for about
half minute. Next pour on the boil
ing water as quickly as possible and let
Ut stand from three to five minutes ac-
cording to the kind of tea used. In the
case of the highly cultivated Chinese
teas, four or five minutes might be al
lowed. In the case of the cruder In
dian and Ceylon varieties, three to four
minutes will be sufficient The infu-
sion should then be used at once, or, II
necessary for 1t to stand. pour 1t into
the other hot teapot. Now, as to the
effects of the cup which CHEERS but
not inebriates." The three principal
soluble-constituents OF tea are theme.
which acts on the nervous system; an
aromatic oil and fannie acid, which is
the injurious ingredient Of tea. In
carefully prepared tea the two first
abound and the latter only appears in
a minimum quantity Deep color in
common tea is due simply to the tannin
which is present. Such tea is usually
poor in theine-the stimulating prop
erty-which is colorless. II the water
is allowed to stand on the leaves or the
tea is boiled. then the tannin is devel-l
oped in injurious quantities. Taken in
moderation, properly prepared tea
stimulates the nervous system, the cir
culation and creates activity Of the
sweat glands. Theme acts as gem
eral rouser to the brain.

In BEHALF OF NEGROES.
address by the Afro-American COun-
ell to the People.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 31.-The Afro Amer
lean Council tonight adopted a long address
to the American people. 1t congratulates
the council that the negro race everywhere
has grown stronger and stronger in all the
elements of Christian morality, of thrift and
Intelligence. Considerable attention is de-
voted to the political conditions of the
negroes in the South, and the address SAYS
that since 1868 there has been a steady and
persistent determination to eliminate them
in the politics of those States I'VE are not
opposed says the address, ito legitimate
restriction of the suffrage, but we insist
that restrictions shall apply alike to all
citizens of all States. We are willing to
accept an educational or property qualifica-
ton or both. We insist that neither of these
was intended or Is conserved by the new
Constitution of Mississippi, South Carolina
or Louisiana" The address calls on Con-
gress to reduce the representation of those
States in that body.
The address says the increase of mob and
lynch law has become a source of reproach
at home and abroad, and regrets that the
PRESIDENT saw hit to treat with silence this
vital matter in his recent message to Con-
gress. 1t speaks of the separate-car laws
as unjust and oppressive, and urges that
the graduated ~ Senger rate prevailing in
North Carolina substituted for the in
famous system in force in most of the
other Southern States" In the interest of
humanity it requests that the penal institu-
tons of the South be reformed. The sug-
gestion is made that a part of the public
domain of the South be devoted to the main
tenance of schools of higher learning and
industrial training. and for a more effective
maintenance of the public school system of
those States for each race share and share
alike. Inc opinion is expressed that a more
general distribution of the negroes through
out the States throughout the Union and
the new territories of the Republic in order
TO reduce the congested population of the
Southern States would do much to simplify
the race problem. but I'VE have no sympa-
thy whatever with the schemes of those
who wish to have the race leave the United
States lor foreign countries"
A committee of fifteen was appointed.

the address to the President.

Third Arbitrator Selected.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
HARTFORD CITY, Ind. Dec. 9O.-H. B.
Smith, member of the wage committee Of
the American Glass Company and treasurer
of the Hartford City Window Glass Com
pany, received notice to-day that the third
man which will constitute the board Of ar
bitration to adjust the wage dispute has
been selected. He is James Allison, editor
of the Presbyterian Banner, at Pittsburg.
Mr.. Smith will be called to Pittsburg to
give testimony before the board. The point
in dispute is in regard to verbal agreement
between the manufacturers and the work
ers' wage committees. The latter claim the
manufacturers said they would give the
blowers and gatherers an increase in wages
proportionate to any increase given to the
cutters and fiatteners. The manufacturers
deny any such statement. The cutters and
hatteners were granted a larger proper
tionate advance than the other trades, and
hence the controversy. In order to settle
the matter and get the factories in opera
ton it was agreed to leave the dispute to
a board of arbitration, the men in the mean
time to receive wages first agreed on. Presi-
dent Burns. of L. A. 300, chose one man
to represent the men, Chairman Chambers,
of the American Glass Companys wage
committed selects one and the men selected
choose the third. After quibbling two weeks
a was finally agreed on who proved
satisfactory to both. The matter Will be
adjusted this week.

MUTINY ON A STEAMER
SECOND ILLINOIS REGIMENT AC-
CUSED OF DIsOBEYING ORDERS.
Smoked When and Where They
Pleased and Didn't Care a Blank
for officers of the Transport.

SAVANNAH. Ga, Dec. 30.-Captain
Charles L. Baker, assistant quartermaster
in charge of the transport Michigan which
arrived here to-day, sent to Washington to-
night an official report in which the Second
Illinois Regiment which the Michigan car
ried TO Cuba on her last trip, was charged
with mutinous conduct, and it was stated
that Colonel Hotchkiss, in command of the
regiment, had to be threatened with a re-
port to the commanding major general. 1t
is intimated in the report that an investiga-
ton and possibly a court-martial will be
demanded.
Previous to the sailing of the Michigan
1t had been reported that the ship was in
bad condition. This Captain Baker denies
he asserts that she was in goou shape and
in support of this he transmits a letter to
that effect from a number of well-known
army officers Captain Baker says: 1.-THE
two battaliOns came aboard eighteen hours
before we left port. During that time the
widest confusion prevailed. No one seemed
to be in command. Shouting yelling, hurrah
and disorder generally continued through
out the entire time the animals were be-
ing loaded. There were a number of acct
dents and 1t is only a wonder that several
OF the horses were not thrown from the
gangway and killed. The regulations pro-
VIDE that no smoking be permitted between
ueckS ana no soldiers be permitted in the
NE boats. The regulations We're not com
nIled with and no effort made to enforce
them.
"a the first inspection" says CAPTAIN
Baker, we found fifteen or more of the men
smoking between decks" The captain in
command of the transport complained of the
acton OF the soldiers to the quartermas ter
and he notified Colonel Hotel Kiss that the
soldiers must quit their mutinouS conduct
or report would be made to the major
general commanding. The vandalism they
are practicising," wrote Captain Baker to
Colonel Hotchkiss. at the instance of the
caItaln OF the ship, seriously endangers
the safety of the vessel"
1t transpires that the Michigan was with
out adequate fire apparatus Had a con-
ndgatlOn at sea occurred from the smoking
between decks the consequences probably
would have been serious Notwithstanding
mis- remonstrance to the colonel command
ing the mutinous conduct of the men con-
tlnued. Captain Bakers report says: with
a thorough knowledge of their danger the
men of the Second Illinois refused to obey
every order issued against smoking between
decks. In the troops quarters the electric
lamps were smashed to afford the men
amusement. This vandalism was practiced
to such an extent that the chief engineer
found that it impossible to supply the
necessary light. Life preservers were torn
down and scattered throughout the ship One
night about O'Clock the man on the bridge
was ruthlessy hurled from his watch by
by main force compelled the soldiers to dis
perse. There was no such thing as keeping
the men from the hatchwayS until one fell
and came near being killed."
