ONIONS AND CABBAGE Many people
ridicule the idea of eating onions and
cabbage; but they are the most popular
vegetable raised. The onion enters in,
to the daily bill of fare of thousands OF
people, and in the spring season they
are considered healthful and nutritious.
In the winter of 1S62-6S Hills light
division was camped on the hill below
Fredericksburg. During April the
soldiers brought up several car loads OF
strong wild onions from the Rappahan-
mock bottom lands, and the odor of fry
ing onions ascended from every hut
day and night. The fine health of the
army as they started out to Chancel-
lorsville was quite noticeable. The
onions may have had something to do
with the fine condition of the soldiers.

Is PRESBYTERIAN SPLIT CON-
ING ?-The likelihood of split in the
Presbyterian church, the organization
of two general assemblies and two pres
byteries of New York, has been quietly
discussed in this city for months. Yes
terday the talk was heard openly in
Presbyterian circles, helped on by DR..
Parkhurst's sermon on Sunday, and it
was declared that there is movement
for the formation of a new Presbyterian
church. Wellknown men in this city
are quietly helping the undertaking.
The liberal leaders want revision OF
the Westminster Confession or new
creed, and many of them say that if
thew cannot have a new creed inside
their denomination as at present consti.
tuted, they favor religious body OF
their own in which they may have. In
view of this situation the remarks OF
DR.. Parkhurst were discussed with keen
interest and the opinion prevailed that
indications never more clearly pointed
to separation than they do at present.

ToMMY's MIDNIGHT DRINK.-Every
night since "Tommy" was two years
old, he has walked up about O'Clock
and has called to his mother for a
drink of water. She sleeps in the
same room with him, and it has been
her nightly task to get up and 60 to
the kitchen for glass of water.
"Tommy"is is now four years old, and
his fond parents made up their minds
one day last week that it was time ne
reformed and gave his mother a chance
to get an unbroken nights rest. A
small stand was put close to his little
bed, with glass of water on it. Then
his father, for the sake of additional
parental sternness, gave "Tommy" his
orders.
"Now, when you wake up tonight,
Tommy, said the stern parent, land
want a drink of water, you are to
reach out and getit, and on no account
are you to wake up your mother. You
are too old boy to make your poor
mother get up and wait on you"
Tommy" could not see the logic in
this argument, and he went to sleep in
a rather angry frame of mind.
At the usual time in the morning bis
mother heard the young man stirring
around in his bed but for the sake OF
discipline, she kept perfectly quiet.
Finally be sat up in bed and reached
out bis hand, cropping around in the
darkness for the glass of water. Then
came a moment of silence.
II dess wiss," said Tommy" speak.

SOMETHING WRoNG.-It was plain
that the man at the corner table in q
Congress street restaurant had in
dulged in several appetizers, says the
Detroit Free Press. He handled his
utensils usteadily and made lavish
use of condiments, tipped over the
catchup aud spattered soup freely on
his pie. Yet he bothered no one, 40
no audible objection was made.
Suddenly, after taking a couple OF
sins of his coffee, he made grotesque-
ly wry face that was in accord with
his rye breath, and bleated out:
"Phwat tn divvle is tn matther wild
this coffee ?"
A waitress quickly reached his elbow
and inquired solicitously as to the
cause of his criticism of the coffee.
"Whoy," said he, "thot shtuh tastes
loike it wor mixed wild vinegar OF
mebbe sprayed wild paris green"
"Did you sweeten it?" coyly asked
the waitress.
"Did Oh swaten it? Whoy, I put
tree TEASPOONS iv sugar in it, and,
WOW, phat taste it how"
"Where did you get the sugar?' In
CURED the fair young waitress, trying
hard to repress smile, as her suspi'
cions began to take form.
"Phwere did Oi git it ?" Whoy, out

She retreated safe distance before
she explained matters.
"That BOWL" said she, "contalns

"It luks more loike dice crane,

bill and went out for bracer."

Last year Mr.. Bryan came to Ken
lucky after the Louisville Convention,
after he had been informed of the meth
ods by which the Democratic ticket was
nominated at that Convention; after he
had been fully informed as to the .Goe-
bel Law; after letters were addressed to
him by those who had been his most
ardent supporters and warmest friends
in his canvass of 1896, telling him of
Convention and the methods to be en-
ployed under the Goebel Law, to advo-
cate the election of Mr.. Goebel. After
the election, when with every Precinct
in the state in the control of the parti-
sans of Mr.. Goebel, majority of over
two thousand had been counted against
him, Mr.. Bryan came to, Frankfort to
rally the forces of the Legislature to
Mr.. Goebel's support in the contest for
the seat of Governor. With these facts
known to the people of Kentucky the
following extract from his speech de-
livered before the students of Chicago
University on Monday, September 10th,
VIII pe Ieau "ith uiPAiS0' IL 'h"'
speech he said:
"I want to take as text this after
noon the Commandment: "Thou shalt
not steal." 1 need not tell you that you
must not go out on the highway and
steal, for your own caution will tell
you that it is not safe.
"I want to tell you that you cannot
more afford to steal when stealing is
respectable than you can when it is dis
honorable, You can no more afford to

ton in the Kentucky Robbery.

steal indirectly than you can afford to
steal through Legislation than you can
in spite of legislation.
"The moral character of an act is
not determined by the number of peo-
pie engaged in 1t; the moral character
Of an act is not determined by the
method by which it is done.
"The moral character of an act is
found in the intention of one man to
take what belongs to another man.
Whether he takes 1t on the highway or
from the house; whether he takes it in
the day time or in the night time
whether he takes it in violation of
human laws or under the guise of legis-
lation, it makes no difference.
STEALING DONE BY LAW.
"If can leave that on the mind of
every student here today, then will
not have talked in vain. And as 1
have studied the public questions 1
have become amazed at the amount of
stealing that is done indirectly, and 1
state 1t as my solemn conviction that
the amount of stealing done by law is
infinitely greater in this country than
all the stealing done in violation of
the law; that the stealing done by
those who are not In the Penitentiary
is infinitely greater than the stealing
done by those who are in the Peniten-
tiary."

The new lnnch roeIn. d. the Misk
School will be completed TODAY and
pened for business on Wednesday. The
pupils then will NOT be compelled 20
carry their lunch to school. They cAs
be supplied at the lunch room-
The idea is most unique ene. The
lunch room will be under the direction
OF the ladies of the New Century Club
and will be in charge OF Mise Carrie ~.
Hance. The women under Miss Hanee's
direction will be from the Associated
Charities. The room is being fitted out
by the Board Of Education.
The sessions at the High School are
from o'clock in the morning until ?
O'Clock in the afternoon, with 20 min
utes for lunch. 1he pupils were COM
PEELED to take lunch with them, but,
under this new arrangement, they can
get a light lunch at the school at very
little expense.
The llnch room is the direct result Of
a suggestion made by Principal A. IL.
Berlin, in his annual report, in which
he said: "The pupils should in some
way or other be furnished at nominal
cost with good and wholesome food at
the noon recess.

and ever increasing attention as the evils
Of the present want of system become
better understood. In the present build
ing, the shops occupy the space formerly
used as lunch rooms. 1t is, therefore,
not practical to make arrangements look
ing towards any improvement in this re-
spect; but in the new structure proper
accommodations can be made to meet
this want, similar to those furnished in
number OF schools lately constructed.
In these, suitable counters or tables,
seats, cooking ranges and necessary
utensils are an essential part OF the ar.
rangements. The health and comfort ol
pupils demand some improvement in
this direction"
The committee of the New Century
Club, under whose direction the lunch
room will be. are Mis-. A. D. Warner
Mrs. Charles Warner and Mrs. Marthl

Today one hundred and fifty new
pupils will enter the High School from
