been brought from Troy and the con-

linked with the fortunes of the city.
The name Vesta is believed to be de-
rived from the same root as the San

goddess of home, and home had the
hearth as its focus. A town, a state,

vesta, or common hearth. and the col

Should vestal maiden allow the So

ABOUT the Potato starch Industry.

The total annual production of starch
from potatoes In the United States is
about 1880 toas. Of which 6,0O0 tons
are produced In the county Of Aroo-
stock, Me.
Wisconsin is one of the most impor-
tant potato producing states and stands
next to Maine in the production of po-
tato starch.
In 1900 Maine and New Hampshire
produced 1000 tons Of starch, New
York 400 tons and Wisconsin and 9th
or western states 6.1O0 tons.
In Wisconsin no varieties of potatoes
are grown for textile purposes. The
starch factories must content them
selves with the small, unripe, rotten,
scabby stock, unfit for edible purposes.
In Maine, unless the price of mar
ketable potatoes be very low, only the
small, injured or refuse potatoes are
sold to the starch factory.

spirituaiism Grows.

The religion of Spiritualism n.this
vicinity seems to be gaining followers,
and many seances are held in different
parts of the city. also in Bridgeport
and Bellaire, the three towns working
in conjunction. Many of the believers
would be surprise to the pubic.
Among them can be found members of
all churches, and former believers In
the many different creeds. In this
mode of worship, there seems to be an
attraction. Whether it be curiosity. or
a search or belief. is question, but
nevertheless, they seem TO be gaining
converts. In this city and vicinity the
religion has produced several mediums
in whom the followers have much
faith. The field here seems TO be an
easy one to develop in this belief.

AInrge Reception.

The Catholics having purchased the
property formerly owned by Mrs. Alma
Sanders, at the northwest corner of
Thirty-seventh and Belmont streets,
will make it the home for the sisters
who teach the parochial schools. The
property is one Of the most desirable in
the city Of Bellaire. Father Wehfle

all the citizens of Bellaire in the new
lome on Monday evening at o'clock.
"A general invitation has appeared
over the signature Of the Rev. Father
in the Bellaire papers. In maintaining
q parochial school attended by nearly
$50 children, the Catholics are saving
the taxpayers of the city nearly five
thousand dollars, while also contribut-
ing their share towards the mainten-
ance of the city by paying their own
taxes. These people are certainly de-
serving of encouragement.

AnnInnmntca Wen Aroused.

On Friday night about 1880 several
Amalgamati5n men were Wakened up
by the call from Canal Dover, for neip
asking the men here to come to that
place by speeia. train. About one
O'Clock this morning a number had
been called out and after holding
conference it was learned that they
could not secure a special train and
later by telephone, news came that all
was quiet. and no further trouble was
expected. The men here were cool,
and deliberated over the matter and
concluded it best to send committee
out on the early train this morning
which was done. The Amalgamatlon
men here are conservative, and dep!ore
any violence, although they realize
that a boycott Is being placed on
number Of their men by the trust and
that they cannot secure positions in any
trust mills. as all the men are iist5d,
and for this reason they realize how
workman will feel when he sees a nom
union man walking into the mill 10
take his position, and under such cir
cumstances it is hard to control the
men, as it is only human nature to re-
sent such action. The Canal Dover
mill is not in this district. but the men
at that place look to the men here for
help and advice. In justice to the AS
ISOLATION here they desire to be con-
graduated on their advice to other
mills as through their careful man
agement they have averted much trou
bic and have also saved some Of the
managers from getting into trouble, as
during the strike there was hot headed
people on both sides who needed
restraining hand. 1t is hoped that
there will be no more trouble.
