NEW PIPE PLANT.
Strictly Home Enterprise Begins
 Work in Gadsden.

Gadsden, April 24.-(SpeciaD-Today at noon all of the local manufacturins plants blew their whistles in concert 10 welcome the new pipe works among the industries of Gadsden, and the pipe works blew it's big whistle with them
 This was a sort of celebration for Gads- den. as the new enterprise IS pureiy a local affair and represents the thrift
 and energy of it's citizens when they are sufficiently aroused to the necessities or the town.
 More than year ago the Central Foundry Company announced its purpose to move it's soil pipe works to Bessemer. This was a blow to the business interest of Gadsden aud the citizens began imme- distely to do the best thing possible to recoup the loss by organizing a company to manufacture soil pipe and the new shop, which is able to blow it's whistle today, is the result.

PLANS PERFECTED AND WORK
TO BEGIN AT ONCE.
Money to Pay for Construction Con-
tributed From ALI Parts of the
United States.

Arrangements have been completed for
the construction of the new memorial
building for the use of the congregation of
Grace Reformed Church, where President
Roosevelt worships, and work on the
structure will be commenced at once. 1t Is
hoped it will be ready for occupancy not
later than December. The new house of
worship will be known as the Grace Me-
mortal Reformed Church, and will be erect
ed Immediately west of the present build
Ing, on 10Th and o streets northwest The
money for the construction of this edifice
has been contributed by members Of the
Reformed Church from all parts of the
United States, and its erection has become
a matter of general interest to the denom-
ination throughout the country.
The contract for constructing the front
audience room was given yesterday after
noon to Richardson & Burgess, and calls
for a cost of $31, 146, not including the Sun
day school room, furnishings windows

EURoPE's CHEAPEST NEWSPAPER
Published in Vienna and Sells for a
.Farthinp.
From the Westminster Gazette.

From the Westminster Gazette
Inc 1arth1ng newspaper is at length an
accomplished fact. One has been started
IN Vienna. 1t is called Die Neue Zeitung
and is about two-thrds the size of an Eng
iish half-penny paper. There are eight
pages, three of which are devoted to adver-
tisements and~ive to news. The newcomer
Is not a party organ and will be generally
progressive in tendency. The proprietor in
tends to give in tabloid form all the news
printed by other journals, together with
articles and generally Interesting matter
There will be a morning edition and an
evening edition, the latter published at
noon. The fact that paper manufacturers
hold large interest in the property solves
the most difficult part Of the problem of
making farthing journal pay, for the cost
OF paper is, Of course, one of the most i'm
pOrtant considerations.
The proprietor. who was formerly the
owner OF leading daily in Budapest, saws
that he requires a circulation of so, 600 daily
to cover the bare cost Of publication. This
IS an enormous circulation in Vienna. where
the most popular paper at present does not
exceed $1,000 per day, and where there are
several daiIies with q circulation OF less
than 10000.

AFFAIRS IN CANADA.
Struggle Between Imperialists and Ma
tionalists, French and English.

A dispatch to the New York Sun from
Montreal says: Each week brings some
new development In the struggle between
the parties into which the people of Can
ada are being divided. Things have so far
taken shape that the terms imperalist and
nationalist are now used and accepted as
the designations of those who on one SIDE
would merge Canada in the British empire,
and those who. on the other hand, desire
at least the maintenance of the status quo
until events ripen a true Canadian ma
tionality.
At present Canada is, as the Ottawa
Events rightly says, only a country with
out population, and it is more than likely
to remain in this state of vacuity so long
as foreign flag waves over it, and the
kind of men who are elected to administer
its affairs rule 1t. They are sWayed entire
ly by their personal interests, which lie on
the other side of the Atlantic where they
spend large part of the time they are
paid to give exclusively to the affairs of
Canada.
| A Nova Scotia journalist writing on the
present situation, says in a private letter:
Laurier has his work cut out for him if
he succeeds in steering satisfactory mid
| die course during the coronation ordeal.
The lmperialistic pressure that will be
brought to bear on him will be immense,
! but he, / think, Is pretty well persuaded
that the current is setting in against i'm
| perialism in Canada, and he is as adroit as
| Chamberlain and may avoid being entrap-
ped and still not lose his prestige Very
| much that affects the future of Canada
will be decided within the next six months.
| This last expressed opinion is entertained
| pretty generally, and it is for that reason
| the anxiety increases all over Canada as
the time for the colonial conference in Lon
| don comes nearer. Expression is being
| given to sentiments of the opposing i'm
perialist and nationalist parties in all kinds
of ways and at every opportunity. Among
| the latest is the rift in the commercial
| community over the question of whether
| Canada should or should not pay a direct
| money contribution for imperial defense,
| and as to whether the British war office
and admiralty or the Canadian government
should control the expenditure of it.
| The race question also is stimulating the
French to assert themselves in every way
| and 1t is intended to celebrate the festival
| of the patron saint of the French Cana
dams, ST. Jean Baptiste, in June, with I'M
| usual eclat as demonstration against i'm
| perialism. One curious thing in connec-
ton with it is that the Protestant French
| Canadians, who are more numerous than
is generally known, propose to take part
| in it as body.

MEAT AND VEGETABLES.
Men Should Eat Greater Variety OF
Food.

From the Brooklyn Eagle.
Let it not be assumed that the shortness
of the meat supply and the high price of
steak is an unmitigated evil On the con-
trary, it is a probable blessing If meat
could be raised to price that would make
it prohibitory it might still be of good re-
suit, because it would teach those who de-
pend almost entirely upon it to widen their
dietary and learn to enjoy many good
things of which they are now ignorant To
many, especially in the cities, there are but
three foods-meat potatoes and bread. The
weary monotony of this program, the I'M
sa tisfied but indefinite longings for a widen
ing of 1t, affect appetite and surely affect
spirits and temper. The laborer goes to his
work hlled with meat, potatoes and bread
At noon he finds cold meat and bread in his
dinner pail and at night he Is confronted
by meat and potatoes, sometimes separate,
sometimes combined into a greasy stew
sometimes chopped into hash. This kind of
thlng nils him. but in a finer sense it can
hardly be said to feed him. Physicians
have discovered that a limited and I'M
changing diet lowers vitality and health
Al such time as this when prices have
been placed SO high by the wholesale deal
ers That retailers are failing by dozens be-
cause the masses can no longer afford meat
there Is chance to find what things the
world contains which are at least as di
gestlble as beef. There is a wide range of
sea food farinaceous products can be
served in hundred FORMS as well as
urea 9aeao. ana as to vegetables, how seldom
| does the housekeeper give a trial to them.
a hearty and sustaining meal can be made
from vegetable soup, followed by potatoes
onions turnlps, parsnips, egg plant, with
TWO or three kinds of bread, then by aspara-
gus, spinach or dandelion afterward bv q
1resh and cooling salad, as of lettuce. GU
GuEnpers or tomatoes, then by cheese mud
DING, fruit and coffee. Meat eating is larea-
~ a habit, and to some persons it is a Ia bit
acquired with difficulty. If to vegetables
lrult ana constructions made of flour and
sugar are added eggs, butter cheese and
milk, range of diet becomes possible that
makes one independent of animal food II
can do no harm to those who consider
ter of meat to experiment with these Other
FOODS They will undoubtedly find them
selves the gamers in health, as well as in
! pocket. 90 AZ

Newspapers in Libraries.
From the New York Sun.


Large libraries have usually kept up files
of the newspapers of small cities and towns
on account of their local historical value
The British Museum, in particular, MAIN
tanned great collections of the sort The
authorities Of the museum have recently
decided to gain room by depositing their
mass Of local journals at a site in the sub
urbs Of London. and a bill has been pro-
posed In parliament to permit the museum
to distribute its files of local newspapers
among the libraries Of the various county
towns. The accumulation Of books and
British Museum or the Library Of Congress
must by Its very constitution, seek to be
complete. and completeness in a city IL
brary involves excessive rent charges for
storage. For large libraries, as for small,
the pressing question Is what not to buy,
what not to preserve.

Personnel of the Committee.
This committee consists Of Rev. c. S.
Slagle of Westminster, Md. Rev. DR.. E.
r. S. Bach and Messrs. l. N. Martin and
A. R. McCardle of Frederick, Md, and Mr..
John Gassman of Hagerstown, Md Rev.
DR.. ]. M. Schick, pastor of Grace Church,
is also member of the committee. These
men have worked steadily and faithfully
in securing contributions for the project
and in perfecting plans for suitable
house of worship.
The new editice when completed, Will be
a beautiful structure. 1t will be built on
strictly sixteenth century Gothic style of
architecture, and the front view will pre-
sent tall central spire with two spires of
equal height on both sides. There will be
three entrances on 18th street, and beautiful
stained glass memorial windows Will be
placed in the front and sides of the church.
The material used in it's construction will
be the attractive gray stone of the Ohio
lower canon
In the east end Of the church will be
large chancel and to the right of this Will
be the organ and choir loft. Across the
west end of the interior q gallery will be
placed and the main floor will be seated
with circular pews. There will be triple
vauted ceiling with no open work, leaving
a clear story effect, and the absence of
pillars will permit unobstructed view Of
the pulpit from any part of the building
The auditorium will seat over 600 persons.
The architects who drew up the plans for
the building are Paul ]. Pelz of this city
and A. A. Richter of Lebanon, Pa.
Sunday School Room. Also.
1t is proposed to erect a modern Sunday
school room at the of the church, and
connected with 1t at later date. The pro-
posed Sunday school building will cost at
least $50, 900, and when the main church is
completed the work of raising funds for its
erection will be taken up. One thing at a
time Is the motto of the building commit
tee, and they assert that when the Memo
rial Church is finished it will be entirely
free from debt.
Grace Reformed Church was started as q
mission of the general body twenty-five
years ago, and it's growth, although slow
has been steady. 1t was later organized
into regular society, and the present build
ing, at the rear of the lot on 18th street
was erected In 1881. Rev. ]. NJ. Schick,
DID, Is the pastor of the congregation,
and since he assumed the duties of pastor
he has been rewarded in his work by a
material increase in the membership. and
the general condition of the church has
been strengthened. DR.. Schick hopes the
larger church will afford greater facilities
for Christian work.
