ASSOCIATED CHARITIES.
Eilsworth's New Organization will
Meet Again Next Monday.

Eilsworth's New Organization will
Meet Again Next Monday.
The meeting OF the Associated Charities
last Wednesday afternoon, although not
largely attended, was enthusiastic, and
the foundation was laid for large mem
bership, one life membership having been
elready paid.
The next meeting will be held at Man
ming hall at 3 o'clock next Monday after
noon, and according to the constitution
1t VIII be the last regular meeting until
October, therefore il is very desirs bic hat
all persons who are interested In the sue
cess OF this society should be present aud
signify their intention OF cooperating
With II, for the extent OF the work which
The board OF directors can plan for another
year must depend largely upon the en-
eouregemeut which it receives from the
citizens.
The work OF organization has pro-
crossed slowly, for the board OF directors
has spared no effort to have Il done thor
ougbly and legally. The constitution is
based upon those of the Associated Char
titles OF Bangor and OF Orange, n. j., and
the work win be conducted along the
lines adopted by those large and success
full societies.
The constitution provides that the
society shall hold Its annual meeting for
the election OF officers on the first Mon
day in Oct ober; therefore the present
organization is but temporary, the Off
GERS having been chosen by the board Of
directors for convenience In completing
the organization. When the new ofiieers
are elected by the whole society 10 octo-
Der, the practical work will begin with
out delay, and IL the corporation OF the
citizens is assured, Ellsworth will have a
society OF Associated Charities as well
equipped as those In larger cities.

The Manufacture of Plate Glass.

The casting table of a plate glass fac
tory is about 20 feet long. Is feet wide
and inches thick. Strips of iron on
each side afford a bearing for the roll
ers and determine the thickness of the
plate TO be cast. The molten glass is
poured on the table, and the roller
passing from end to end spreads the
glass to a uniform thickness. The
glass, after cooling rapidly. is transfer
red 10 the annealing oven, where 1t re-
mains several days. When taken out,
1t is very rough and uneven and in that
state is used for skylights and other
purposes where strength is desired
rather than transparency. The greater
part of the glass, however, is ground,
smoothed and polished.

The Willing Workers of the Methodist
church society had an entertainment and
sale Wednesday. The proceeds were about
SIS. The society commenced their work
but short time ago for the purpose of
building place Of worship, and they
have greatly prospered. The timber is
already on the desired spot and they will
commence work very soon.
The new seats have arrived here for the
Methodist church and have been placed
In order, under the direction OF T. T. HAIR
vey. They are placed in an oval form,
which is very convenient and attractive.
This church has been most wonderfully
blessed within the past year, both spiritu-
ally and temporarily. Many members
have been added to the church roll.
There Will be reception of members
next Sunday. Prof. j. b. Ames has pre-
ssnted the church with a very nice bell.
Through the influence of Mrs. M. T. Con-
don, friends contributed enough to pur-
chase two chandeliers for the chapel. The
pulpit has been carpeted by the Willing
Workers and a pulpit set has been pnr-
chased by the former circle.

on the shore OF a large pond, which In
summer affords very good fishing, is built
OF logs, aud calls to mind the homes OF
early pioneers. Upon closer inspection,
the piazza across the front gives it a
rather modern look. 1t is lovely place

the view is pretty, even in winter.

It Is Practically Admitted Expert Body Was
Appointed to Stir Up Public

Their Unexpected Dismissal Prevents Meeting
and Leaves Valuable Plans to
the Trustees

Having secured an additional So
100000 in bonds from the State Legis.
laturc. the Drainage Board has con.
cluded that 1t can do its own thinking
as to needed improvements of the Chi.
cago River. SO Wednesday the Clti-
zens' Expert Commission. appointed
some time ago by the board TO act as
an advisory body In this problem, was
told that its services were required no
longer. \ communication asking the
termination of the commissions work
was presented by President Jones of
the Drainage Board. seconded by
Trustee Smyth. and adopted without n
dissenting vote. The dismissal was so
sudden and unceremonious that n
meeting of the experts set for wednes.
day was called off at the last minute.
The commission of experts had been
given no opportunity to make Its final
report. After weeks of labor three dis
tinct plans for the widening and deep.
ening of the river and the diversion of
all sewage from the lake by the an
neXation of the Evanston and Calumet
districts were outlined, each scheme
accompanied by exhaustive data. The
cost of each plan was figured to the
cent and ranged from SlS.OO0,O00 to
$i4,0OO,O00. Now 1t Is frankly admit.
ted by the Sanitary Trustees that this
commission was created merely ito
stir up public sentiment" SO that the
Legislature might allow the Drainage
Board more money to carry out river
plans. Though the plea for an add.
tional tax Of one.half Of per cent for
this purpose was defeated, the bill
allowing the bonded Indebtedness of
the Sanitary District to be raised from
.Si5.OOO.OO0 to S20.0O0,OOO was hailed
with delight when Its passage was sc.
cured.
