Washington and Baltimore Stock Ex-
change Teams to Meet.
Arrangements have finally been complet-
ed by Mr.. A. K. Paris, the secretary Of the

the Baltimore stock exchange. This event
is to take place a week from tomorrow on

ton of the exchange. 1t is expected that a
large contingent Of the members represen-
tative Of the banking and financial inter-
ests Of the city will go over to Baltimore,
in order to encourage the players.
The Washington nine has a record, as
two or three years ago q nine from the
BaltiEic re stock exchange came over here
and was defeated. This Is the return game,
as owing to various circumstances arrange
ments could not be made to have 1t played
either last year or the year before.
It may be the members Of the nine are
not in full practice. but the order has gone
forth to prepare for the contest. and 1t fs
expected that there will be good deal Of

tween this time and Saturday OF next week.
The pitchers box will be occupied by Mr..
Richard A. Johnson, and Mr.. w. B. Hibbs,
as catcher will try to get on to his curves.

PHONOGRAPHIC ARCHWES.

Vienna correspondence of The London standard
1t is announced to-day that the Vienna Acad-
envy of Science has resolved on adding a depart
ment of photographic archives TO of the
public libraries. There will be three sections the
first for the preservation Of phonOgramS of every
existing European language and dialect, and
later on, of all European languages. the
second for the record of the finest contempu-
rary musical performances, supplemented by
that of the music of peoples and races in distant
countries and the third for collecting phono-
grams of complete speeches or aputhegms by
celebrated men of our generation and of later
times
The initial difficulty seems to consist in finding
a more durable material than vulcanite, of
which the plates for the gramophone are now
composed. and experiments with various metals
are already being made by order of the Acad-
envy. Should the plan prove successful, the
Vienna Academy OF Science Will invite the

Of the place to the attention of the reading pub
lie. In this report the Nice-COnsul says that
efforts to ascertain how the sauerkraut was
manufactured were unsuccessful, because the
concerns where he asked for information look
upon their process as a valuable business secret
which is their chief stock in trade, and then he
gives, as near as he could ascertain, the process

article
Take a number of heads of white cabbage
fresh IS possible, and cut them into fine, Ions
shreds Place in layers in barrels or kegs,
strewing salt over each layer, using one-half a
pound Of salt for each twenty-five cabhages.
Tress the mass down with clean feet, wooden
shoes or a heavy stamper. Place a cover on
the barrel and upon this lay heavy stone. This
presses the sauerkraut more and conserVes 1t
better The sauerlraut must then be allowed
to fermeut in a cellar for from three to eight
days. according to the temperature of the room.
The barrel should then be tightly closed and
kept in cool place preferably in cellar.
Fancy grades are produced by pouring white
wine into the barrels after they filled and
apples, chopped very fine, are also sometimes
mixed with the cabbage
A local dealer who sells large quantities of
SauerIraut says that the process Us ueSNIi''Su -

old fable that had its origin on the minstrel
stage where it took well.

was not enough to have German churches, turn
vcreins singing societies and schools they had
10 have their lager beer and their sauerkraut,
which was dearer to them than baked beans
and hard cider were to their neighbCrs. AS the
German population increased the cabbage be-
came a better source of income for the farmer,
because nearly every German family laid in its
stock of sauerkraut every fall. Men made it a
business to do the cutting and with their board.
In which knives were inserted, made the rounds.
preparing the cabbage for their customers. This
man was known as Der Krauthober The ar
ticle was 50 distinctively German that in the
days Of Know Nothngism it was not unusual to
hear the term 'Sauerkraut Dutchman' used.
But the American became a consumer of the
fermented cabbage as well of the Germans
lager beer and the Krauthobler worked for him
self and sold his product by the quart, as his
customers wanted it. But it wasn't like mother
used to make, and to satisfy the fastidious Ger
mans the homemade article was imported from
a popular article n the American grocery bust
ness
There are several large manufacturers of the
article in New-York, of whom said: We
have the same cutting and pressing machinery
here as they have in Europe, but the quality of
the cabbage is not quite up to that of the Ger
