The sum of $4,000 was appropriated
on Tuesday by Congress to make sur
vey of a canal route connecting the
Chesapeake and Delaware bays. A
commission consisting of an army Off
GER, naval officer and a private clti-
zen will be appointed to look into the
routes proposed. There are five routes
mentioned, namely: the Sassafras
river route, Queenstown route, Wye
river route, Centreville route and the
Choptank route. The report of the
commission will be given to the next
Congress and the route they choose
will very likely be adopted and it is
more than probable that such a free
and open waterv(a (ay connecting these
two bays will be pnstructed.

MUST QUIT THE CHURCH
THE REV. BRUCE BROWN ACCUSED
OF sENsATIONALISM.
Denver Disciple of Christ Requested
to Decentralization Conyen-
ton Proceedings.

OMAHA, Neb., Oct. 10.-With the first
day of the Christian Church Convention
came the announcement from the general
board of the church that Rev. Bruce Brown
pastor of the Central Christian Church or
Denver, has been asked to resign on the
ground of sensationalism. Rev. Mr.. Brown
will reach the city tomorrow. 1t was
stated that Rev. Mr.. Brown has invited
to his pulpit laymen to discuss labor and
other questions, and that at one time he
permitted an avowed enemy of the Chris
tan Church TO speak from his pulpit, in
order that he might combat the mans
views in formal answer. Rev. Mr.. Brown
was asked by the board of directors to re-
sign, but he said he believed a majority of
the general board would sustain his posi-
ton. The matter was then left to that
board which to-day by decisive majority
upheld the board of elders and insisted on
his resignation. A member of the board
said that Rev. Mr.. Browns character was
believed TO be above reproach, but that the
board did not believe he was conducting his
pulpit in a manner becoming q minister
of the Christian Church.

CRIME OF A YOUNG MAN
KILLED HIS FATHER-IN-LAw,
MOTHER-IN-LAW AND CHILD.
Found His Wife Had Instituted Di-
der Bent, on His Wheel.

MOUNT PLEASANT. Mich. Oct. 1S.-As
.Woodin, twenty-three years old, is under
arrest here charged with a triple murder.
and this community was shocked to-day
by bloody tragedy in which Mrs. Wood
ms parents and the prisoners eighteen
months-old daughter were shot and killed.
Woodin was overpowered just as he had
turned the revolver upon himself and had
inflicted a wound that is not expected to
prove fatal.
Woodin visited the courthouse this morn
ing and looked over the papers in a suit
for divorce which his wife instituted Oct.
10. From there he went directly to Isbell's
hardware store, where he purchased a re-
volver. There was no interruption In his
career Of crime from the moment his hands
let go of the legal papers in the courthouse
until his victims lay dead in two farm
houses six miles apart. Having secured
the weapon he first rode his wheel to the
Gulick farm, Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Gulick
being the first victim. Mr.. Gulick was
shot twice. once above the heart and once
in the right side. and was instantly killed.
Woodfn then turned upon his mother-in-
law, who was sitting In a rocking chair,
and shot her in the throat. She ran into the
kitchen and fell upon her back. Woodn fol-
lowed and emptied three chambers Of his
revolver into her breast. killing her. A
fourteen-year-old daughter of Quick came
in at the sound of the first shots and. see
ing the blood on her mothers neck ran
TO the neighbors and gave the alarm.
While running down the road she heard the
last three shots
After killing the Gulicks Woodin dashed
madly to his mothers home, six miles
away. He rode his wheel for one mile,
then. tearing off his coat and throwing 1t
with his wheel into a fence corner ran
mile and half through the fields He
made the last four miles on a borrowed
horse. Passing the time of day with
group of apple pckers on his mothers
farm, he entered the house as though moth
ing unusual had happened and, picking up
his little girl, carried her into an empty
room, killed her and shot himself The
young mother, until Sept. "a had the baby
with her at the. farm of Eli Ferris. where
she obtained employment, but the father
then took it to his mother on the promise
that he would soon return ii.
Woodin's wife was Miss Anna NJ Gulick.
and they were married March 25 1900
Woodin was soldier in the Cuban war
AT the Jail he refused to talk EXCEPT to
express regret that he failed to kill him

sion that his wife's parents had caused
the divorce proceedings, though his wifes
bill OF complaint charged personal violence.

BROOKLYN Ea gle.


There are many bad Jews. as there are
many bad Irish, Germans and native Amer
leans, but the Jews spoken OF for high
places, or who have been put in high
places. have been models Of capacity. char
acter and efficiency. And a Jew named
Felix Adler is doing and saying what the
best In Christianity or in any form of re-
ligion should represent, in its relation TO
human life and conduct
We do not know that the present plan OF
both parties to run a Jew for Lieutenant
governor will be carried out or not. The
fact that IL Is contemplated Is interesting
and important. The Jew has arrived in
politics. He has worthily arrived. He is
so able and excellent that the zeal of both
the great parties TO win seems to lead them
10 invest in him for high candidacy Their
motive may be selfish. but politics is the
syndication of selfishness well as 1.-THE
science of government" The notion OF
the politicians that a Jew nomination will
draw solid Jew vote Is not one with
which we concern ourselves. IL Is a bad
notion. But, as IL will prove also to be
foolish notion, its folly viii be the punish
ment of its badness. Intellectual and pub
lic-spirited Jews will vote according 10
their convictions, not on race or religious
lines They will vote for a gentle who
represents their civic thought and aspira-
ton and against a Jew who does not. as
not a few Of them have already found out.
But the foolish and insulting estimate OF
the Jew as a workable political solid--an
estimate of mentally and morally low ma
chinists only, and one certain 10 be resented
by enlightened Jews themselves-fs aside
from the fact that both parties recognize,
as fine assets. the qualities of oratory. bust
ness ability, legislative sagacity and polit-
ical insight and outsight which representa-
tive Jews have shown In public affairs.
The fact Is vindication OF character and
power. II attests diminution OF prejudice
which almost amounts TO its extinction. IL
is broadening and uplifting fact. nota-
a condition in which men OF cosmopolitan
thought and culture have reason 10 rejoice.

USE FOR ANGELICA ROOT.
Return to the Early English Taste i'm
the Seasoning of Dishes.

New York Evening Post
There is sort of fad to-day for early
English goods and merchandise The old
poultry seasonings are used more than
ever, chamomile and chamomile tea are
again in vogue in the sick-room, and an
gelica plant is for sale in the shops and
stores; Many years ago the angelica was
exceedingly popular. The flowers were
employed to give sweet perfume to clothes
presses and bureau drawers. the tender
stalks were candied or preserved, and made
palatable CONNECTIONS, the leaves were used
as pot herbs, and the roots after washing
and scraping were converted into medicinal
tea. There is difference between the Eng
lish and American angelica, the former
aromatic. The herb now I'm the market In
the English variety; most of it is imported,
but large amount comes from this coun-
try, where the British plant has been sue
cessfully acclimated.
All these old uses have been revived, and
some new ones added to them. Among
the latter may be mentioned angelica cor
dial, which is made of light sherry wine,
maceIated angelica leaves, stalks, and
roots: and pure syrup made from white
sugar. The preparation should be allowed
then squeezed through a strong bag or else
in a kitchen press The cordial Is of a
pleasant brownish color. with an agree
ing to its votaries 1t makes capital ap-
petizer and stomachic.
The stems cut into small pieces, boiled
until soft, and then dipped In molten su-
gar or in confectioners' cream, make a
pleasant demulcent that is quite effica-
cious for light coughs or colds. The leaves
chopped up with parsley form an agree
able dressing for lamb chops. and when
mixed with parsley and other pot herbs i'm
prove the flavor of a pot-roast.
Its most enjoyable use is undoubtedly as
chief ingredient in the pot-pourri jar.
The best combination is one-third red rose
leaves and two-thirds Of angelica flowers
and leaves cut fine with a sharp knife.
These should be placed in a jar with a
little salt, covered with water weighted
down by a stone and then the Jar itself
should be covered alright. In a short
time the essential oils of angelica will sep
arate from the vegetable tissue. and will
give forth perfume in almost unlimited
quantities whenever the cover Of the jar
Is raised

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
SULLIVAN, Ind, Oct. 16.-Representa-
tive Miers is conducting his campaign in
Sullivan county. One peculiar characters
tic of his campaign is that he makes but
three speeches in the county and these are
made at mining towns Heretofore Mr..
Miers has made about fifteen speeches in
the county, including this city, the county
seat. which he has cut out entirely this
year. This procedure is explained by the
fact that he is seeking to array the
miners of this county against capital The
fact that Miers did not offer to speak at
other points here is due to the fact that
there Is much sentiment against him, en-
gendered by his conduct in the campaign
for the nomination and his dual attitude
toward his constituents, which they fully
realize and bitterly resent. Mr.. Miers indi-
rectly places the coal strike at the hands
of the Republican party, and last night
stated that if Admiral Dewey had left Ma

policies and cheap talk. Baseball is too
Mia after the battle the Philippine question
would have been settled in sixty days. He
leaves his audience to infer that Carnegie
and other capitalists form a class that the
laboring man must annihilate by the ballot
Leading Democrats already concede that
Mr.. Mierss majority In this county will be
greatly reduced this year, which Miers is
said to realize and to be greatly disturbed
on this account.

reau and which received the partial in
dorsen1ent of the board of ordnance and
fortiheations after the test had been made.
This gun. however, was defective In some
points. beng considered too heavy. The
breech mechanism also was not strong
enough. 1t is expected that these defects
will be remedied by using appliances Of

long to a patented gun arrangements will
