The Sunday School Convention of
| the Joint Conference of the south
| Carolina and Tennessee Synods met
at Lexington, S. G, in the St. SIC
| phen's church, as previously annourc-
ed, -, 2S and 20 b of July. AL
most the entire body Of ministers
| and delegates were present. The
large and splendid new church eoiihce
was filled at every session Of tie
| convention.
On Sunday there we're four ser
vices and a crowded house. The
audience was. estimeted at rhTee
hundred AID twenty people. AS all
the people could not be accommo-
dated an over flow service was con-
Quoted in the Methodist Episcopal
church By Rev. J. A Cromer, who
had full house.
The offeripg at the morning service
was good, amounting to Sl2O1.
The discussions of the subjects OF
the programme evinced great inteill-
geDce and deep interest in the doc.
trines and practical concerns OF the
church and Sunday school. The
sermons we've all of high order and
our Lutheran people seemed justly
proud Of their t.lented and conse-
Grated ministry.
The Twentieth Century Muv.-
ment-tbe Endowment CT the Theo-
logical Seminary attracted marked
aud general attention. Two enthu-
siastic meetings being held on Fri
day and Saturday nights, which were
we'll attended. The Lutheran peo-
pie, as well as all denominations,
manifested much enthusiasm and
delight in both the meetings of the
convention and the entertainment OF
their guests.
It was the general comment of
ministers and delegates that the con-
vention held here was one OF the
most profitable and pleasurable in
the history Of the convention.
The address of welcome, by Miss
Mary Wlngard, was especially fine
and made such favorable impress
sion that the convention by unaui-
nous vote requested it's publication
in the church papers.
Harmony, peace and j)y reigned
throughout all the sessions of the
convention and the statistical @e-
ports gave great encouragement
indicatory Of marked and decided pro-
gress and prosperity. The report Of
the committee on statistical reports
will appear in the church papers.
The pastor Of St. Stephens, Rev
J. G Graichen, and his congregation,
and also the community of Lexing-
ton, feel greatly bonored and edited
by the presence Of the distinguish
ed Christian body in their midst srd
in their homes and will always wei
come them most heartily to our town,
our homes, our hearts.

Powers on the Stand.

Georgetown, Ky, July 30.-The
trial Of Clleb Powers was resumed
at 8 o'clock. The Jury was polled
and was excluded from the court
while ex. Governor Bfown, for the de-
fense, made a motion for preremptory
instructions for verdict of acquittal-
The motion was submitted without
argument and was overruled by the
court. The defense outlined theiE
defense, and admitted that Powers
organized and brought the mountain
men to Frankfort, but only to petl-
ton the legislature not to intimidate
They denied that Powers had any
connection with Youtzey, Witaker
and others.
Powers took the stand and testi-
fed that he never knew Jim Howard
Harlan Whitaker and Richal d
Coombs prior to the assassination
With regard to bringing mountsin
eers to Frankfort, the witness said
There were three crowds of mel
brought to Frankfort. I had some
thing to do with the organic 'tlcn o
each. The purpose was to show the
interest of these people in the mat
ters at issue, not to intimldate elthe'
the State election board or the legls
lasure. I instructed the men to dt
no acts Of violeLce. So far as know
none was committed By them"

THOROUGHLY TESTED.
Simple Method of Cleaning n Wooden
Dress That No One Need Hesi-
tate to Try.

The following simple method OF
cleaning dress skirt has been so thor
oughly tested that no one need hesi-
tate about trying it. The rule was first
leRned from Il cook who accidentally
had cup of melted butter spilled over
her dress. 1t was thought to be beyond
reclaiming, but the cook herself de-
clared that she could take every bit
of the grease out-and she did. Since
then the rule has been applied to many
less hopeless cases, and invariably with
the most satisfactory of results.
Take three-fourths of pail of cold
soft water and add one teacupful of
ammonia. Thoroughly brush and shake
the dress skirt, then rinse it up and
down repeatedly in this ammonia wa.
ter. After thoroughly ''sousing" it,
let ii lie in the water for an hour. Once
more rinse ii up and down, then take
it out, squeezing the water from it,
but not wringing it.
Put up two lines so that they shall
cross each other and hang the skirt
upon them, pinning the bottom to the
corssed lines so that the skirt shall be
well spread apart.
While the skirt IS still quite damp
iron it upon the wrong side, ironing till
dry."-Cincinnati Commercial Tribune

THE FARMERS YARD.
II should he of Ample Proportions.
Artisticnl1y Ornnmcnted and
Kept with Care.

There is perhaps nothing else
which better indicates the breadth of
a farmers conceptions of the esthetic
things of life than the size of his
yard. If il be small and crowded his
mind may he comparable Herewith.
If il be .arge and well kept it may he
taken as evidence of his artistic
ideals. For the ideal yard is a large
one-not 4O-acre fed. of course
but a comfortably large area planted
to native trees and sodded in blue or
lawn grass.
1t has been said that an acre makes
the ideal yard. 1t should be nicely
fenced and kept moved during the
growing season. 1t may be pastured
occasionally. but this is not good
practice. The wood pile should not
occupy place in the yard, as is COM
monty noted, nor should uusightly
heaps of rubbish. etc. mar its beauty.
Have liberal yard, give il liberal
care, take n liberal view Of life, be
liberal to all the things about you
and nature will deal liberally with
you. Don't be fenced in by stingy
yard, yard so small that when you
step out at the kitchen door you are
in the horse lot. And don't have
sheep paths" through the large yard.
Have nice gravel walk or several
walks leading to the front gate and
% the barr-yard gate, as well, per.
haps, as to the garden entrance

The House That Tre.ham Built.

One of the curiosities of architec-
ture in England is, according to the
Stone Trades journal, the house
erected about 300 years ago at Rush
ton, in Northamptonshire, by Sir
Thomas Tresham, n Roman Catholic
who wished by his design to typify
the Trinity. 1t is all threes; has
three sides, three stories, and three
windows on each fat, each of them
in the shape of the trefoil-the three
leaved shamrock. Where the roofs
meet rises a three-sided pyramid,
terminating in a large trefoil. The
smoke escapes from this chimney by
three round holes on each of the
three sides. The building is almost
covered with notices and carvings,
three Latin inscriptions, one on each
of the three sides, having thirty-three
letters in each. Three angles on
each side bear shields. Over the
door is the text from the Vulgate,
"There are three that bear record"
Inside the house each corner is cut off
from each of the three main rooms,
SO that on every floor there are three
three-sided apartments. 1t is hard
ly necessary to add that the house
has ceased to be inhabited.

TROUT ON TAP.
A Commercial Traveller who Got Into
a. the Fish business In n Queer Way.

In the days when the only means
of rapid communication with East
port was by steamboat from Port
land and st. John, N. b., Bert Bean,
n commercial traveller, came here
from Boston and paid visit to Camp
obello island, which belongs to New
Brunswick, though only a short dis
tance down the harbor, relates the
New York Sun. Bean had n little
money, and liking the island he
bought tract of land on top of the
hill. His purchase contained about
100 acres, in the middle of which was
small pond in a hollow about 200
feet above tidewater, which washed
the shore less than rs rods away. AS
the pond was fed by springs, Bean
had it stocked with trout, which were
caught in brooks on the main land
and brought over in pals. Then he
went away for four years. On his
return the pond was swarming with
fine trout. Though the place had
been fished by expert anglers, they
had never met with any luck, because
there were so many caddice worms
and other insects in the water that
hook.
Bean consulted lawyer and found
that as his pond contained less than
ten acres it was his to hold and pro-
tect against all comers. He waited
few years longer and sent down
a crew of men who bored hole from
the shore through the bank facing
the ocean inserting a water main
in the opening. When he had put a
turn tap in the pipe so far inside the
hill that it would not freeze in win
ter he was ready to supply fish to
order. Orders were taken in Boston
and other large places for as many
trout as he could furnish. Then Bean
came to Campobello, turned the stop
cock, drew off the water and picked
up his fish as easily as he could kind
ings. He always left enough to stock
the pond with young fry, after which
he closed the faucet and allowed the
springs to fill the pond for the grow
ing of more trout.

Differences in Crenmeries

Gov. Hoard reports difference in
the annual profits between two pa.
irons of creameries managed by him
of $25,6s per COW on account of the
difference in amount of production,
one herd averaging a gross income OF
$65.6S per COW, while another aver.
aged only $35, the first netting $50
in excess of the cost of keeping, and
the second only five dollars. The
Kansas agricultural college in some
investigations in the summer of 1895
at the ,Meriden creamery, found that
the poorest COW averaged 1854 and
the best one $4,000, making differ.
ence of $34.55. The average per COW
of the poorest five herds was so "A
and for the five best, $33.74, differ.
ence of $24.30.
