Silver Service for AchIey.

Baltimore, Md, May 5.-The magnii-
cent silver service, made from silver coins
taken from the Spanish cruiser Cristobal
Colon, to be presented to Admiral Win
aeld Scott Schley by his friends in this
state and in Washington, has been com,
pleted and is on exhibition in the show
windows of the manufacturers in this
city. The service consists of one center
piece, soup tureen and ladle, four vegeta'
BILE dishes with covers, one gravy bowl
and ladle. one roast platter. one game
platter, one fish platter, and 10 dessert
plates
Upon each piece is engraved Admiral
Schley's initials in monogram, and each
bears this inscription:
"Made Of silver taken from the Spanish
cruiser Cristobal Colon, destroyed in the
naval battle off Santiago de Cuba July g.
1898"
The fineness Of the silver used was not
interfered with, and the metal therefore
has almost the hardness of steel. The
weight OF the coins used was about 1900
ounces, and at the present price Of silver
represents value Of 5000, but nearly six
times that amount was required to pur-
chase the coin from the government.
The presentation of the service will be
made Wednesday at the home of Theo-
dor Marburg in this city, who, with for
mer Postmaster General James A. Gary
and Ives Cobb Of Washington, comprise
the committee in charge of its manufac-

min o. Leuscher, director of the students
observatory at the University of Califor-
MIA, has made the discovery that the
Brooks comet, first observed two weeks
ago, revolves about the sun in one quarter,
the shortest number of days required by
any comet ever before recorded. AS soon
as the discovery Of the comet by Brooks,
observations were begun at the Lick OBJ
servatory. The Berkeley astronomers
computations show that the comet Is
nearer the sun than the earth. revolving
around it in 800 days. 1t is supposed this
is the comet observed in l74s for three
days only, and never seen again since
that time.

COST OF FOOD. Grape-Nuts vs. White Bread, Etc.

family figured carefully on the cost of food, taking into consideration the strength and health that Grape-Nuts fur nished. The report Is interesting
 We first took up Grape Nuts because 1t agreed with me so well. I was suffer- ing from dyspepsia that medicine did not relieve. l frequently laughed at the idea when some of my friends told of the use of Grape Nuts; however. one day Wife bought package and we found it g1o d and 1t agreed with me.
 We were accustomed to using white bread and oats, wheat or barley mushes boiled from two to four hours We con sidered Grape Nuts too expensive but I noticed that when I had breakfast of Grape Nuts I felt fine. and other days when white bread and other cereals were used I felt weak and bloated.
 One day about six months ago 1 said to Wife. T nm satisfied that G-ape-Nuts is the thing that makes me feel better in between the blue spells Then we sat down and figured a while on the cost of living and came to the conclusion that we could live better and happier on fifteen cents worth of Grape-Nuts than on twen- ty-hve cents worth of white bread or cooked at home cereals. You see four teaspoonfuls of Grape-Nuts furnish more strength to work on than large quanti- ties of other foods. SO We started on Grape Nuts in earnest using it every morning. and a wonderful change has come over me.

Advertiser Bureau,
 Selma, June 10.
 The City Council of Selma was to have held meeting last night but on account Of the absence of president of the Council, V. B. Atkins. the meeting was post poned until Thursday night. A merry row is promised over the granting of a license to John Briggs to retail whiskey at stand on Broad Street, just beyond the depot, in the Third Ward. Some time ago MT. Briggs precipitated a merry row trying to open & saloon in the Skinner building on North Street. He succeeded In getting license but a mistake was made in the petition as to the exact cor ner on which he wished to locate his stand, and the matter became of such general importance to the people in the First Ward that he finally decided to drop the matter.
 His application to open a saloon in the Third Ward. near the depot, has aroused the ire of the inhabitants living near the depot. John c. Norris, who claims that his life and that of the members of his family are made miserable by the dives and dens of infamy in that part of the city, took 1t upon himself to fight the granting of another license in that por- tioH ot the Clty. f1e secufeu lawyer to go before the City Council last night.
 In the meantime the citizens of the Third Ward had not been idle. A peti- tion had been circulated asking the City Council to restrict the selling of whiskey to the fire limits. This petition was unanimously signed and the lawer was to have presented 1t to the City Council last night. The bar keepers in the fire limits are in sympathy with the residents of the Third Ward and they will assist the people living In the residence por- ton of the city from having saloons opened there. There Is a report on the streets that the application for a license will be withdrawn and the property owners and residents in the neighborhood of the depot will not have saloon opened there.
 The agitation has started the question of putting all the saloons in the fire limits. It is understood that resolu- ton will be introduced at the next meet ing of the City Council, giving all dealers in intoxicants notice. that on and after the first day of January next no license for that purpose will be issued to any one to do bus!ness outside of the fire limits. Fire limits will be established around the engine house in East Selma and under the proposed resolution whiskey can only be sold in the limits thus established and in the fire limits up town. This is an excellent idea, a great many think, and will be a concession to the property owners and the moral element of the city and legitimate dealers in whiskey will join with the better element in asking the City Council to restrict the sale to the fire limits.
