been made of the supply to a large ex-

But what do we find? These copper
head intolerants have assaulted the mo-
tives of the Commissioners, have
charged in print and from the stump
that the report is a campaign docu-
ment. insincere and is the dictation of
the President himself.
Pretentious fellows, who assume to
who were on the ground for months.
and are 'cognizant of the truth, have
charged the Commissioners not only
with insincerity, but with misrepresen-
tation and falsehood. Following up
these assaults they have endeavored to
break down the report by attacking the
conclusions reached as unsound be-
cause proceeding from false premises.
In the face Of such an exhibition as
this, it is a hopeless task to conduct a
debate with such pig-headed intoler-
ants. The people of the United States
now have full opportunity to judge be-

THE CITY ELECTION.

The result of the election in this city
yesterday justifes the forecast Of this
journal that George H. Clark would be
chosen Mayor by a decisive majority,
and that the Republican party would
assume the responsibility for the con-
few years Four seats in the Board of
Trustees will be filed by Democrats,
but the Republicans WILL by a safe ma
jorfty, control in all the departments of
the City Government and be held re-
sponsible therefor. The outcome of
the election must be taken as a verdict
OF the people in favor of progressive
ness and a spirit of development in the
administration OF public affairs and the
betterment Of city conditions.
The heavy vote for Mr.. Clark proves
the confidence the people have in the
platform upon which he was nominated
and In the man himself, since his abil-
ity. Independence and general capacity
for the office were directly assailed and
the people were told that he lacked the
essentials named. The public verdict
has been one Of condemnation of these
unworthy and unjustifable assaults
Now that the election is over and the
will OF the people has been made mani
fest with emphasis. let all citizens unite,
irrespective Of party or divisions upon
lines Of policies, to give to the new adj
ministration, when it takes up the reins
OF responsibility. hearty support, the
most sincere aid and the most cordial
approval for every economic and every
progressive step 1t takes

cisr and censure. if in any respect it
errs against the best interests of this
people. This it will expect and must
be prepared to receive it If 1t fails In
any regard to keep it's pledges to the
people. We have confidence, however,
that this censure will not be invoked,
but that with the cordial aid of all well
wishers of the city, the new admins
tration will prove blessing to all the

NEW USE FOR DRIED APPLES.

Ihey nave a new use Tor American
dried apples in France that has some
thing of humor in it, and it is proving
too, to have g. great deal Of commercial
interest. Consul Albion W. Tourgee, at
Bordeaux, reports to the State De-
partment that the consumption Of wine
In France is steadily diminishing be-
people that the product Of the vine is
apt to be deleteriously adulterated.
There are several other causes, but
that is the most prominent one and it
applies broadly throughout the country.
Naturally as this conviction spreads
there is search for substitute for wine.
AT first the people turned to the apple
and pear orchards of Normandy and
Brittany and cider became popular, I'M
til its consumption in Paris alone rose
to the enormous figure Of 10,00O,O 900
gallons in 1895. But the use was cut
down sadly in the last two years, owing
to the failure Of the apple crop. Pro-
hibitive duties rendered 1t impossible to
import cider from the United States,
the tax amounting to about cents a
quart.
So the search for substitute was
renewed. The Frenchman who wants
a cheap upple still wants it pure; he
does not desire that it shall intoxicate
but simply be a pleasant drink over
which he can sit and chat with his
neighbor, slipping little by little. Such
drink must have fruity taste, a
little piquant, and must not become a
drain upon his pocket
Out of these conditions. says Judge
Tourgee, some genius advanced the idea
Of making a sparkling, piquant, fruity
beverage. harmless and pleasant, out
Of dried apples raisins and water which
are allowed to stand until fermenta-
ton sets in, when it is bottled, with
the addition Of a little sugar and q
dash Of cinnamon, or it may be served
direct from the cask. This drink is
served to the Bourgeois at cents a
glass. It fills the demand and has no
alcoholic qualities sufficiently devel-
oped to perceptibly influence the ac-
tivities of ones tongue. The consump-
ton of this beverage is rapidly increas-
ing in France and as 1t is made out Of
dried apples imported from America,
the importation must increase as the
consumption of the beverage becomes
more general.
But Judge Tourgee makes note of
the fact that In one imported lot of 500
barrels of dried apples from the United
States which he inspected, 200 barrels
proved a dead loss to the importer be-
cause of lack Of care In drying and in
packing for shipment He says that
those who propose to cater to the new
demand should bear in mind that while
the lowest grade of windfalls are used
in manufacture Of the beverage, they
must be sliced, and that the makers of
the drink include skins and cores. But
the thin slices must be well dried and
securely packed. The slices must be
white and have spicy odor, or they
win not sell. Decayed or overripe fruit
should not be used, as it gives too
dark color to the product and such
apples will not bring price sufficient
to pay the cost of shipment

REVIVAL MEETING
At First Presbyterian Church Special
 Service for Parents This Morning

The meeting at the First Presbyterian church has acquired great additional in- terest by the coming of pr. Edward o. Guerrant, who arrived in the city on Thursday. He is a preacher of singular earnestness and power, and the congrega- tions are daily increasing. The services are held at Il o'clock in the morning lasting just one hour and at 7:30 at night.
 At the service this morning Dr. Guer- rant will speak especially to parents and their children, and an earnest invitation is extended to all parents. to attend, and take with them their children. The service, however, will be of deep interest to every body, and all are invited to be present.
 There will be no service tonight, being Saturday night but Dr. Guerrant will ti.l the pulpit al both services tomorrow.
 Another delightful feature of the meeting is the singing of H. A. Wolfshon, of At lanta, who has charge of the music. He is a gospel singer of unusual sweetness and power, and the congregations deriving much pleasure and profit from the praise services conducted by him.

M. MUNKACKSY s+ v Z
 FAMOUS PAINTER
Dying in SecIusion in a Hospital
 for the Insane.
HAS BEEN VIRTUALLY DEAD
Since Paralytie Stroke Which Caused Him to Abandon Work in 1S96- His Most Famous Painting
 Christ Before Pilate."

Berlin, March 24-Michael Munkacksy, the famous Hungarian painter, who has been secluded in a hospital for the insane at Bonn, for more than two years, is dying.
 He was born in Hungary in 1S4i. He had been virtually dead to the world since the paralytic shock which. in the latter part of 1896, compelled him to abandon all hope of ever working at his easel again. At that time he was at Goedsburg. For months he sat breeding and melancholy, until, in an excess of madness, he attacked and nearly strangled his attendant and hospital phy- sician. He was immediately removed to an insane asylum, 1t becoming obvious that his mental recovery was absolutely gone.
 His parents were poor, and before he was z years of age he was left an orphan and given over to the charge of an uncle at Osaba, who seems to have treated him very harshly. It happened that in the same village his sister was quartered on an aunt and the small boy lived between the two houses. The youngster was after ward apprenticed to a tradesman. In his autobiography, 'The Recolleetions of Munkacksy," which appeared in the early part of 1897, after he had lost his reason, he tells with the most charming simplicity of those days of apprenticeship of heating glue and grinding cheap paint. At IA he was a qualified workman and was sent by his uncle into the world with five forins in his pocket. For two years he lived in the town of Arad. Then his health weak ened by wretchedness and lack of food, and he was compelled to return to his unces house. Here the sight of engravngs set him copying each. One day his uncle, chancing to look over his shoulder said: You might possibly become painter"
 Shortly after this he entered the studio of a German named Fischer, where he met Szamossy, a painter of some talent, who gave him an invitation to visit his stuido. He accepted, but not having means to pay for instructions, insisted on being servant and man of all work in Szamossys house. After eighteen months he felt strong to strike out for himself, and on very linn ited purchase of colors began to paint com position with the life-sized figures. His au- tobiograpy ends with that incident.
 One of his great paintings, "Christ Be- fore Plate," was purchased by John Wan namaker of Philadelphia, after it had been on exhibition in this country for some weeks.
 Another of his best known works is the "Ecce Homo,' first shown in Budapest during the fetes in May and June, of 1S96 when the Hungarian nation attained it's tenth century as an independent state
