COtter'S Church.

Not that friend Cotter has founded
a new religion, or built memorial
edifce, but he made a candy church of
liberal dimensions-a work ofsacchar-
iue art, which he offered to the one of
his customers who would guess nearest
it's weight, the award to be made on
Christmas day. While there were
several hundred guesses there were ten
who were exactly of the same opinion;
viz: that the church weighed thirty
nine pounds-the nearest approach to
its true weight, but, .1texact in ounces.
The ten are James Rice, NJ. G. Kelsey,
Chas. Hermann, Willie Dix, Eta
Knudsen, Irene Herberger, Harry
Brooks, Mary Watson, Gordon Ingram
aud r. H. Fikkan. A second guess
was awarded to the ten, which resulted
in favor of Chas. Herman, whose
guess was thirty-eight pounds and
fifteen ounces.

testified for years to the superlative merit

Mr.. Hackett, acting secretary OF the

suing an order which shall more clearly
define the official titles OF various navy
yards on the Atlantic coast about which
great deal Of confustQn has resulted lately
among persons not thoroughly acquainted
with the subject. Under the present sys-
tenn Of the departments five, OF the big navy
yards are located at. tOwpa the names OF
which are not idenufed with the Official
titles OF the yards, These yards are the
Portsmouth yard located -Rt Kittery, Me-;
the Boston yard, at Cha14estown, Mass. |;
the New York yard. Hfooklyn: the Norfolk
yard at Portsmouth, va, nnd the Pensacola
yard, at Warrington. Fla. In regard to
the Portsmouth and Norfolk yards there
has been any amount OF confusion in the
transmission OF mail matter from civilians
destined for them; and it Is with view to
clarifying the subject OF their location that
the department contemplates action In
each case the name of the yards mentioned
has been chosen on account OF the fact
that when the name az big city Is fixed
to yard 1t lends facility and convenience
to telegraphic, cable and Official mail COM
muntcation from thu department.. or its ofi1-

to grant any oflSciaI recognition Of the
