Bridgeport Church Makes an Innova-

Bridgeport Church Makes an Innova-
 tion ill Communion Methods.
 Bridgeport, Jan 15.-Entire' new in this section is q comms.Ion table feature just introduced into the First NI E. church. At last Sundays ser vice the communicants were served with the bread by the pastor, who handed each a portion with pair of silver tongs, much the same as used on the table for loaf sugar.
 The innovation, if such it can be termed, attracted considerable atten- ton and was freely commented upon by the members of the church. The old methods adhered to in the early days of the last century was for the pastor to take the bread in the bulk. break and distribute it to the com municants. About twenty-five years ago the idea of having the bread sliced and arranged on the plate so each diner at the table of the Lord might, unassisted, partake of the bread, came into vogue. and general usage made it the accepted system. so to speak.
 Now the latest change does away with the necessity of the conmuni- cant touching the plate. and he awaits the presentation of the bread by the pAstor hetweeu the forks of silver ltonHR .s7a

WAYSIDE NOTES.


 more trees, and goodly sized oaks, cast dense shade almost the entire distance. In many places for a thousand yards or more the hand of Nature had arranged the giant trees in long lines between which the road runs, beneath natural arcade And, winding back and forth across the caiion, the purling little river put the finishing touch upon a sylvan scene of surpassing beauty.
 At the end of league the caiion widened out bit and there was a grain field of about forty acres, where they were winnowing the wheat of the gathered harvest. There was also a 'viDateria. It was DOW well into the afternoon, and the old mans mescal bottle needed replenishing. Another dollar.
 The two leagues after passing the vinateria were quickly covered, and the Hacienda Bacanuchi, Gone of the Pesqueira properties) was reached. Within the last mile the grain fields of the widening valley crowd the road upon the mesa in a couple of places, looking back from which we could see, more than fif- teen leagues away, the summit of Soberano peak, the mountain over looking Arizpe across the valley on the east; and in front of us the twin peaks of La Cananea, nearly twenty leagues away to the northwest. We rode to the upper end of the Baca- nuchi ranche, and stopped for the night.
 The next morning an early break fast and start at sunrise was the program, faithfully carried out. Leaving the Apache river at Baca- muchi the road led up a long valley with low hills on either side. For nearly forty miles our route led over a waterless region, and all along the road punches of cattle or horses were met all going toward the Apache to drink. By the time we had passed one band another came in sight, each numbering twenty-five or thirty head.
 At the outset the Cananea noun tains loomed up ahead, and at no time in the ride were they out of our view The country traversed raised so gradually that when we were alongside the main peaks at noon they seemed but a low ridge to the west of us. We passed | around to the eastward of the mountains, finding but little in the scenery which could be called strik- ing or picturesque. At one point the guide turned aside from the main Toad about half a mile and we entered very pretty little box canon ["cajoncito" he called it at the head of which we found small spring of water-the first in eleven leagues.

CONFRONTED
BY A DEFICIT
STATES REVENUES LESS THAN
APPROPRIATIONS ASKED FOR.
ABOUT TWO MILLION SHORT
Committee on Claims Estimates the
Resources and Complies a State
ment of the Expenditures Contem-
plated by Pending Legislation
Startling Comparison Made.
Madison March

Madison, March ).
The forty-fifth legislature is con.
frCnted with a deficit in the public
revenues Of almost two million dollars.
The joint committee on claims made
a report to the senate last night in tie
nature of budget of state finances
which shows that the appropriation
proposed at this session added to the
standing appropriations, exceed the
estimated revenue for the next two
years by S1,769,69S. The state money
available for the two years is esti-
mated at $685. 1854, while the stand
ing and annual appropriations before
this session amount to S9,42S,062.
This legislature is asked to apprO-
pirate $3667, 460 in addition to the
standing appropriations, and the legis-
lature is confronted with the ne.
cessity of either making a cut of a
million and more in the appropria-
tions or increasing the revenues in
some way.
These necessity for these great
drains ,lpon the public treasury and
the threatened deficit, are legacies OF
the last legislature which appro-
priated 100000 more than there was
revenue to meet. That resulted in this
Legislature being asked to appropriate
money to do the work for which
money was appropriated two years
ago, and in addition the present SEES
sion is asked to make new apprOpria
lions made necessary by tho growth
of the state.
The following standing appropria-
lions were made before the COM
mencement of the present session:

Washington, March 5.-Never has
an inaugural parade in Washington
passed off with so little friction aud
with such general picturesque effect
as that which accompanied the great
pageant that served as escort to the
president to the white house after he
had taken the oath of office under the
shadow of the capitol. The inaugural
committee had provided a durable
barrier Of iron posts and wire cable
along both sides of Pennsylvania ave
nue. from the peace monument to 18th
street, and succeeded in absolutely
keeping a clear line of march for the
first time in the history of inaugural
displays in Washington. The start
was made from the capitol about 2:15
and the last civic organizations had
passed the reviewing stand at the
white house a little before 6. The
weather was not favorable for the
parade, a slow drizzle at intervals
wetting the uniforms and accoutre-
ments, but fortunately the tempera-
ture was mild.
In point Of beauty, the military dis
play has probably never been ex-
ceeded in Washington. The regular
contingent of calvary, infantry and ar
tillery was uniformed as though for
the most exacting official inspection
and it's discipline was beyond criti-
cism. The same could be said with
equal emphasis of the naval contin-
gent, which was larger than ever seen
in Washington parade. The impress
sion it produced reflected the highest
credit on the naval officers who
brought their commands to such
state Of efficiency,
One of the unique features of the
military display was the battalion of
Porto Rican regiment, recently or
ganiZed in our island possession from
among the native population. The
members were not to be distinguished
from the other regular infantry regi-
ments except by their swarthy com
plexions, and their evidences of enthu-
siasm won them continuous applause
along the line Of march. The civic di-
vision consisted of clubs from all sec
lions Of the country, many of them
unique in uniforms.
At the head of the long lines of
marchers rode Major General Francis
V. Greene, the grand marshal, astride
a superb charger, surrounded by
brilliant array of mounted aides and
staff officers. Back of them rod
Major General Brooke. chief marshal,
with line on line of staff officers
Heading the rank and file of the mill
tary division came Major General
Ludlow, and another SNOWY group Of
officers. Leading the first brigade
marcehd the gray-coated cadets from
West Point, stepping in military pre-
cision, with we'll kept lines and after
them naval cadets from Annapolis.
The president and his party went
direct from the room of the senate
committee on military affairs to car
riages. Senators Hanna and Jones of
Arkansas and Repre- sentative Cannon
entered the carriage with Mr.. Nc
Kinley. Roosevelt was accompanied
by Senator Spooner and Representa-
tives DalzelI and McRae. The pro-
cession from the capitol was practi-
cally in the same order as the trip
from the white house.

Bad Wreck On ST. Paul Road at Prai-
rie du Chen.


Madison, March ).
A man, who is said to have lived in
Muscoda, was killed near Lone Rock
Saturday night. He was riding the
blind baggage on the passenger train
leaving here at $50 p. m. and had
been twice put off by Conductor
James Cavanaugh before reaching
that point. 1t is supposed he was
leaning out at the side to get his bear
ings and was struck by the cattle
guards or some other object.

Chen at 500 Sunday afternoon, strik-
ing a misplaced switch on a stub

totally wrecked, and ten freight cars

jumping. They were somewhat
bruised, but not seriously hurt.

OEWET AGAIN ESCAPES,
Willy Roer Now Said to Be Marching
on Fauresmith.

London, March ga dispatch from
Kitchener, dated Pretoria, says:
'Dewet was moving on Philippoiis.
but was headed by our troops and is
now marching on Fauersmith Bah
ington has dug up Krupp pompom
and some ammunition at Landfontein.
Sixteen men Of the Victorian rifles
captured thirty-three beers and fifty
horses at Sea Cow river"
Blame for Dewet's escape is placed
upon the system rather than on the
commanders pursuing him. 1t has
been impossible to direct operations
by telegraph. The feeling is that
great discretion should be anowed in
the field. Although the beers are now
demoralized, it is believed they will
quickly recover if allowed a few days
for rest.

NORTHWEST PAYS TAX.
Milwaukee Life Insurance Co., Turns
S243,00O Into the State Treasury.

s243,0o0 Into the State Treasury.
Madison, March ).
The Northwestern Mutual Life In
surance company paid its taxes yester-
day, amounting to S243, 1887. Judge
Dyer came from Milwaukee to make
the payment to the state treasurer,
which was in the form of a single draft
upon the Wisconsin national bank. The
amount, of course, is for the taxes of
1900 under the Orion act, and is at
least 100000 more than the company
will pay next year under the Law
passed at this session. The taxes of
the company for 1899, paid one year
ago, amounted to $241, 636.16.
Three foreign life insurance com
panies, the Aetna of Hartford, Conn,
the Home Life Of New York and the
Metropolitan of New York, have ap,
piled for q rebate on the license fees
they paid in the state treasury last
month. 1t has been the custom for
foreign insurance companies to pay
their license fees in advance, and &C
cordingly these companies paid at the
beginning Of the fiscal year under the
provisions of the orion act. Now
that the new law, taxing insurance
companies at a less rate than before,
is in effect, it develops that the com
panies which paid at the beginning of
the year are entitled to a rebate. The
Aetna claims $3.156.45, the Home Life
$246.65 and the Metropolitan ST.
596.88, thus making a total of So
9S9.9S which the state must refund.
