NO MORE CANNED CRAB.
only Man who Knew How to Can the
Heat 10 Dead-May Not Have
Told the Secret.

James McMenamin, the only success
full Gamer of crab meat in the world,
has just died in the hospital at Balti-
more, and it is feared that his secret
has died with him, reports New York
exchange. He is believed to have made
100000 out Of crab canning by run
ming large cannery at Hampton, Va,
for six months in the year, but he kept
the process hidden even from his work
people, and unless his will divulges it
or he confided the secret to his sons
before his death, the canning plant will
have to be shut down and nobody may
ever know why its proprietor succeed
ed where others failed.
Mr.. McMenamin went to Virginia
from Massachusetts, in 1878. While
working as clerk for Mayor White
head, of Norfolk, it came out that he
knew how crab meat could be canned
without losing it's, flavor and Mayor
Whitehead helped him to establish q

ards were kept busy, at the completion
of each trip with blowing up with air
dozens of mattresses that had col
lapsed from some unknown cause. It
took the officials of the lines some
hours to discover the cause of the fail
ure of the mattresses to maintain their
proper condition. Hat pins, breast
pins, safety pins, stick pins, every
known kind of pin had done the mis-
chief.

that they were intended as life pre-

emergency arise. Give me decent

life-preserver that depends upon air.

those mattresses to DEATH
The steamship company now has
this notice attached to the door of

small cannery was replaced with big

able to meet all the demands upon it

the meat from the crabs. 1t was sent

BEWARE OF THE LAW.
Local Hunters Must Obey the Require.
ments Of New Law.

Now that the fall hunting season is
about at hand it behooves local gun
ners to post themselves relative to the
requirements of the Indiana game
law passed by the last legislature.
This law is now i'm force and contains
several new features with which a
great many persons are not familiar.
1t provides fine of not more than
$50 nor less than $40 for hunting on
Sunday or upon any enclosed land
without the consent of the owner or
tenant Thereof. From October l to
November 10 it is unlawful to hunt
any kind of game unless the hunter
first procures a permit from the COM
missioner of fisheries and game. This
permit can be procured free of cost by
any reputable resident of theState up
on application to the game commits
sioner. Non-residentS are required to
procure a license from the clerk of the
circuit court at cost of $500 before
they can legally hunt on Indiana soil.

NoBLEsvILLE, Ind, Sept. Is
Presiding Elder Wilmore, of the
White River Conference of the United
Brethren church, has appointed the
Rev. S. NJ. Leidy to the charge in this
city, a vacancy created by the resigna-
tion of the Rev. S. b. Erwin, of
Anderson, who, being one of the old
est ministers in the conference,
thought he was entitled to a better
charge and refused to accept. The
Rev. Mr.. Leidy comes mere from the
Second United Brethren church OF
indianapolis, where he was sent last
week by the Kokomo meeting. The
Rev. ID. w. hartman, who has been
pastor of the United Brethren church
here for two years, left for Saratoga,
falling i'm his effort to be transferred
to the st. Joe conference. He asked
for the transfer because he was not
satisfied with the Saratoga CHARGE.

WALKS ORDERED
Common Council Sets Up Twentieth
Century Standard.

Every person owning property on
the east side of Michigan street be-
tween Yellow River bridge and Wash
ington street must, if he has not al
ready done so, construct stone or
cement walk Is feet wide extending
to the curb and conforming to the
grade thereof, and this within fifteen
days. Thus did the common council
ordain at special session Friday night.
furthermore, in every case where a
sidewalk notice has been given and is
not yet complied with the street COM
missioner will proceed to construct the
walk and charge the cost of the same
against the delinquent to be collected
as taxes. John HOham will be requir-
ed to widen the walk in front of his
business block on LapOrte street SO as
to harmonic with the general plan,
and a resolution was adopted ordering
Il. S. Bissell to put in new cement or
stone walks on both sides of his entire
lot at the corner of Laporte and Gen.
ter streets, the portiOni in front of the
Republican Office to extend to the
curb. the remainder to be six feet in
width.
1t was agreed that certain portions
of the walks at street intersections,
being the portion in excess of what
has heretofore been required of the
owners, shall be paid for by the city
out of the general fund. In view of
the lateness of the season it was felt
by the council that except in necessary
cases the old walks on Laporte street
need not be disturbed until spring;
but at that time the dilapidated pas
sageways at the Democrat corner, the
Palmer property and elsewhere must
be brought up to the twentieth CEN
fury standard.
In addition to the foregoing bust
ness the council granted permission
to lay sidewalk across CAIRO street
for the convenience of the new Link
enhelt elevator, which is now nearing
completion.
