THoueAnps SAVED BY

w. T. Campbell of Pough-
keepsie was a pleasant caller at
Record headquarters yesterday.
He says Big Tom Norris is pre-
pairing to put in big store at
his place and that the town is on
a boom.
One of the first acts Of H. B.
Hill, after retiring from the office
Of circuit clerk last Friday, was
to pay for the Record a year in
advance. Mr.. Hill has just
reason for feeling proud of his
record of the past four years, and
his friends feel sure he will serve
his county as well in the general
assembly as he has in other po-
sitions of public trust.
The Record intends to pub
lish occasionally, perhaps every
week, composition written by
some student in the intermediate
department Of the Evening Shade
High School, but one intended
for this issue was handed us too
late for publication this week.
These compositions will be print
ed, not 50 much as a matter OF
news, but to stimulate the smaller
pupils in their work, and cause
them to put forth their best eff
forts.
The Record is the place for
Job Printing.

HOUSE HOLDS NIGHT SESSION.
Bills From the Indian Affairs Com
mittee Considered

The bill amending the BANKRUPTCY law was
passed by the House yesterday afternoon,
as were several other measures reported
night meeting of the session was held, and
although but few members were present,
several bills were acted upon from the COM
mittee on Indian affairs.
The bankruptcy measure amends the
present law in fifteen particulars. Mr.. De
Almond moved to repeal the original law,
but his motion was Overwhelmingly de-
feated-65 to 1877.
Bills also were passed to provide for cir
cult and district courts at Valdosta Ga;
providing for the punishment of United
while confined in state Institutions; to in
crease the fees Of jurors in United States
courts from s. to s. per day; to allow APP
pealS from final rulings of the general land
office to the Supreme Court of the District
Of Columbia: to incorporate the Society OF
the Army of Santiago de Cuba; for the ap-
pointment of five additional United States
commissioners and five additional consta-
bles in the Indian territory.
Mr.. Ray called up bill for the suppress
sion of train robberies. Mr.. Smith (Ky.)
said the bill was toe important to be passed
hurriedly.
Mr.. Ray replied that the purpose Of the
measure was to secure the cooperation OF

after the assault was committed. Drs.
Freeman and Harrington, who are caring
for the patient, think she will be able to
leave the institution before the end of the
week. The injury TO her head is healing
but she has not yet fully recovered from
the shock.
After comforting with Captain Boardman
about the case yesterday afternoon Major
Sylvester announced that he would pay a
reward of $50 for the assailants arrest
Lieutenant Daley and the sergeants and
privates Of the ninth precinct, as well as
Detective Michael Muller have been at
work hard on the case. The. lieutenant
went out in citizens clothes and remained
with the officers until about = o'clock this
morning searching for the man, but with
out success. Several arrests were made
but Mrs. Eckman failed to identify any of
the prisoners.
When last seen the colored man was GO
ing north in the direction of Trinidad.
Every inch of ground in that part of the
county has been searched, and some of the
officers have gone as far as Maryland
hoping to overtake the fugitive. 1t is evil
dent that the assault was premeditated as
the piece of pipe used as a weapon was car
ried to the store by the colored man. The
weapon was wrapped In piece of newspa-
per and was left on the counter I'm the
store after the assault was committed. IL
is the belief of the police that the assai-
ant was acquainted with Mrs. Eckman and
knew she was alone In the house.

company had been chartered under the laws
of New Jersey with capital stock of
5000 600.
He said a method would be found to ac-
commodate any one who wanted their stock
sold after the exchange had been made,
and stated that the new company had in
fluence sufficient to place the product on
the market, whereas the old company had
been unable to do this.
Attorney Chase took the floor and spoke
in favor of selling the building and other
assets of the company to pay off the in
debtedness which, he said, amounted to
about $4,000, with view of manufacture
ing kretol. He said the product could be
manufactured in two rooms, and claimed
that the building was a useless expense.
The speaker then turned his attention to
Mr. Browne whose, methods he denounced
in the most scathing language. His rep
reservations were termed "glitterng gener-
alities." The holders. of Kretol stock, Mr..
Chase said, had. been deceived. Turning to
Mr., Browne, he demanded whether he in
tended to pursue the, same methods in the
new scheme which he had unfolded. He
could not be ssbstaGtiated Holding aioft
a letter Mr. Chase declared that he had
therein a pitifuli story from a woman sixty
years of age who pifted with the savings
out by the old cpncegh. She was then pen
niless, he said,ss anti Frustrated over her
loss. He charged THAT the company had
been organized }or lne purpose or selling
stock, and, in his opfbion the new concern
would be no better-than the old one.

Mr.. Browne received, in silence. Attorney
Anderson urged harmony. stating that If

Mr. Mpo'c Chase replied ffat the courts Of this
city would have nothing to do with the new
project.
After much discussion. in which several
personalities were INDUCED in action was
taken on the report of the committee. 1t
was received with but one opposing vote,
and then the meeting voted to accept Mr..
Brownies plan. However. as the transact

AVOCADO PEAR,
This Tropic Fruit Growing in Favor
With Northern Public.
From the Jacksonville Tfmes-Union.

FROM the Jacksonville Times-U Union
The Spanish name for this is aguaca ta
Corrupted, like our word from the Aztec
ahuacatD. The name alligator is rough
seamaris corruption from the above and
ought to be frowned out of use
1t has much the shape of a large-sfzed
bell or pound pear and weighs from a
pound to two pounds. In the center is a
large husk-like core inclosing the seed
Between this core and the skin is the meat
which, when ripe, is of rich, creamy vel
low and tastes as much like beef marrow
as one thing can be compared to another.
1t Is sometimes eaten with a dressing of
salt pepper and oil. but is generally used
as the basis of a salad.
When cut open the core drops out and II
is seen that there is a double lining. re-
sembling a thin, brown leaf or skin, but
between the meat and the interior core
One of the Innings clings to the meat and
the other to the core. The lining being re-
moved from the meat and the outer skin of
the pear cut off, the fruit Is treated the
same as the meat of chicken or lobster de-
signed for salad A ripe avocado pear
costing 40 cents will make as much salad
as a good-sized lobster or a chicken, and
is much cheaper.
The use of this fruit is not confined to
the natives of the West Indies and South
American countries. but is growing In ia
vor with Americans who have an opportu-
nifty to taste it. Twenty years ago there
were not more than 100 of them consumed
In New York city during the season, while
at present the sales of one firm alone aver
age from 800 to see every week Of the sea-
son, which lasts from about June / to No
vember 1.
There is one curious feature about the
avocado pear with. which probably few of
those who have eaten it are familiar. The
seeds, mixed in a jelly-like substance. are
contained within the core. If the core IS
split open and a pen or sharp-pointed stick
dipped into this jelly-like mass, using the
half Of the core as a cup and stirring the
seeds and jelly together. the compound can
be used as an indelible ink. The mark
made by 1t Is at first Of a dirty cream
color, but becomes darker with time, finally
assuming a deep salmon hue. and there is
no known acid which will remove it.
