dent Mnrrien Private Dawson.

triNhtt Dawson.
The success Of the Girls Bachelor
club of W.uleld, near Wichita, Kan,
is assured. According to the vow she
took when she became member, Miss
May Williams was married the other
day to Private Dawson of Company II,
Twentieth Kansas volunteers.
The rules Of this club are that men,
bers must wed Twentieth Kansas
hero or no one ut all. Miss Williams
was the president of the club, and by
her perseverance she will win silver
tea service as the first one of the club
to marry. says the Chicago Inter
Ocean.
This club was organized about two
months ago, and there were 80 pretty
and aristocratic girls of the little col
lege town of Winfield who pledged
themselves to marry no other men than
members OF the famous Funston regi-
ment. The one who married first was
to be presented a silver tea service by
the club. 1t was on the first day of
August that Private Dawson came
home from the Philippines. He was
wounded and had arrived with II ship
load Of other sick soldiers. The other
day he was out In the park and tainted
from the heat. May Williams ran to
his rescue. That night they were mar
ried and the whole town rejoiced. The
other club members are now busy lock-
ing around for soldier husbands. Miss
Williams and Private Dawson were
sweethearts In their youth.

the speakers platform and cropped to
his knees in prayer. For half an hour
praying was continued, one brother

At 8 o'clock the Sunday school ses-

early hour that the attendance would
exceed previous records. The eXcur-

discharged from the cars. At that hour

New Jerseys Roads Models.

According to bulletin No. 95, issued
by the department Of agriculture, New
Jersey is building more roads and bet
ter roads for the money than any other
state in the Union. The roads being
built there will last and can be kept
up to Il high standard at q minimum
expense.
Bulletin No. 95 Is devoted exclusive
ly to good roads. In it the opinion is
expressed that all the important roads
in the United States will be macad-
amized or otherwise improved within a
few years. The bulletin advises the
building Of stone roads wherever it is
possible and condemns dirt roads as
much more expensive In the end.

DRAINAGE OF ROADS.

In road building the chief effort
should he toward securing the best
drainage as water and dirt are bound
TO make mud. A. dry road is usually a
good road or win become a good road
In time by constant usage. The eXcep-
tion which proves the rule is the sandy
road. 4 sandy road is n dry road, but
not often a good road, says S. ID. Tall
man in The Pneumatic.
To assist the drainage the road
snOuld be first crowned and then about
four To six inches Of crushed stone,
depending upon the amount of travel,
put on, gradually decreasing little in
thickness as it approaches the cutters;
then heavy steam roller passed over
Ii two or three times to set II; upon
this about three or four inches Of finer
crushed stone should be placed and
steam roller passed over 1t again. 4
great deal of care should be taken not

stone dressing forms almost q water
proof covering Sat will last for years
If properly taken care of each spring
by putting on some fine crushed stone.
This covering will let the water
drain freely to the cutters and leave q
comparatively dry road in few min

EVAPORATED BANANAS.
A New DclIcncy 20 lie Placed Upon
the American Market.

EvapOratcd bananas are 10 be Il new

idea and after a trip to Jamaica has
sent representatives down there 10
erect n plant for carrying out the plan.
As yet the evaporation Idea is In Its in
fancy, but there seems TO be no doubt
that 1t will be perfected. and bananas
that now cannot he shipped from ia

the markets of the United States In
another form.
Mr.. Spawn expects to place his first
evapurated fruit on the market this
fall, says the baltimore Sun. What
ever may be the state Of the weather
the prepared banana can reach the
market in an attractive state without
being affected 10y the summer heat
or winter chill. as is the case with fruit
when forwarded in It's original bunch
from the plant. In small way the
evaporated fruit has been tried in Eu-
rope, to which country II is impossible

can use them in a variety Of ways
Bananas have been evapOratcd TO

plan proves successful the industry
will be introduced into the banana pro-
ducing districts throughout Central
America. the West Indies and proha-
bly, all other tropical and semitroplcal
regions where the banana is grown.
The general method OF evaporation
Is that pursued with Juicy fruits. The

PRESIDENT VS. SPEAKER
CANAL BILL RAISES AN ISSUE
BETWEEN THEM.
Reed Opposes the Measure and Domi-
mates the House-The Senate How
ever will Force the Measure.

WASHINGTON, February 22.-Oef-
mite action in the matter of the Mic
araguan canal by the present Con-
gress at this session now seems GER
tain, but the men who have all along
been the most active in their support
of the great waterway seem tonight
to feel that the strength of the Speak
er in the House has been made mani
fest, and they have Il harder row to
hoe than at any time since the matter
came prominently before this Con-
gress.
A straight issue has been raised be-
tween the Speaker and the President,
and many Weakened members of
the House seem to seek to curry favor
with Reed by voting against their con
victions in the matter.
Senators who have taken up the
canal as an amendment to the rivers
and harbors bill say that they will in
sist upon action, but there is develop
ing in the House feeling that the
entire bill will be killed if the canal
proposition is allowed to remain as a
rider. There is too much pork in
| the bill for the men who have been
| favored i'm it to allow them to view
! its defeat with composure. For this
reason there has been decided
change of position upon the bill Al
ready there are members of the House
! Committee on Commerce who voted
to report the Hepburn bill who feel
they will only be voting to kill the
rivers and harbors bill if they stick to
the canal bill. For this reason there
is a belief that the House may not
vote to concur in the Senate amend
ments, as was at first thought to be
certain.
TO meet this condition Senators
who feel there is more interest in the
canal than in any appropriation for
the improvement of rivers and har-
bors, say they will make it plain that
there will be no bill unless it carries
the canal with it. This is expected to
be sufficient to insure the passage of
the measure Another thing that
will be relied upon to pull through
the canal bill is the fact that in the
Senate committee the rivers and har-
bors bill was so amended that it car
ries an appropriation for the improve
ment of marine harbors by the adopt
ion of plan which will cost the Gov
eminent something like $13,000,000.
This is the largest amount of money
carried in any single plan in the his
tory of such legislation. To see this
defeated is more than the Speaker
will allow, in the opinion of those who
have followed him in his various at
tempts to entirely control legislation
