FISHMONGERIKG RAILROAD.
New Hampshire Line That Used to
Supply Customers at All
the Stations.

While looking through a pile Of old
papers the Exeter correspondent came
across the following article in a New
York paper Of the date of February 6,
1853. under the caption of The Smelt
Railroad" says the Manchester Union.
1T is well known that the Portsmouth
railroad has to turn everything to &C
count to pay running expenses, and
many are the Jokes they perpetrate
upon the conductors in reference TO
their shifts to get a living. It Is said
that one of them last year was accus-
toned to bring fish from Portsmouth
and peddle them out on the way to Con-
cord
"One day be brought along smelts,
dealing out to customers at every sta
ton, till he got to Suncook, where he
blew his horn and an old woman came
out and wanted six. Just pattern-all
I've got left, you're in the nick Of time,
said he, and he began to count them
and found only I'VE. 'HoW's this! I

HOW TO PRESERVE EGGS.
Keeping Them in water Glass Il an
Elective Method for the Aver
age HOusekeepeF.

Now and then a hOusekeeper wants to
know Of some reliable way to preserve
eggs in time Of summer plenty for the
midvinter season Of scarcity, when eggs
are so much in demand for holiday
dainties. Most methods are somewhat
uncertain and some really AFFECT the
taste of the eggs even II il keeps" them
IN a general sense Of the word
Those who are studying the subject Of
egg preservation otherwise than ty cold
storage and in large quantities agree that
nothing is better than water glass. This
a a solution Of silicate Of soda which has
a consistency something like oil. II but
a few pounds are needed the price is
about % cents a pound But as II is to
be diluted nine times its bulk with cold
water. and one pound win cover about
$50 eggs. the cost Is not so great The
eggs must be perfectly fresh. not store
egrs. then stored in a cool. dark place,
and experience proves that wood or
earthenware Is better than metal, be
cause after a time water glass viii cor
rode metal.
The theory Of preserving eggs in any
solution Is to keep the contents Of the egg
from evaporating through the porous
shell or to prevent afr from entering
through the shell to the contents. Any
thing which completely closes the pores
OF the shell II It be harmless itself is a
GOOD preservative. Some Of the. sub
stances used are too expensive even II
emclent; water glass Is both effective
and inexpensive.

President Roosevelt and his fsuy,v
viii return to the white house on the
10th OF September. They will find as
usual that 1t is not the same white
house which they abandoned to paint-
ers and decorators earlier in the sum-
mer.
1t is a popularity of the executive
mansion that no matter how much
money is spent on its preservation lust
about so much additional money has
TO be spent every summer while the
president and his family are out Of
town.
The white house is in a constant
state OF repair. Only year ago more
than half a million dollars was ex-
pended in restoring Infringing II
back TO the condition in which those
who first designed it planned that II
should be. The results were crafty
ing. The tawdry Improvements" Of
decorators and architects for a genera
ton Of presidents were calmly thrown
aside and scheme Of architecture was
adopted which reestablished the sim
plicity and dignity Of an earlier day.
But even with all this the expert
mentors cannot let the old mansion
alone, but must repaint and readjust
and change Just because the, presi-
dents family is away and the way is
clear.
In spite Of all the refurbishing the
white house remains as it always has
the most dignihed oficial residence
anywhere to be seen.

civil war he served in a subordinate
position. doing his duty faithfully and
well and coming out Of it with all the
credit that belongs to a determined

thankless service on the plains fight

splendid valor met with Insignificant
reward. The war with Spain was an
opportunity and the training Chaffee

JACKSON WINS.

GAINESVILLE, 6 /
Batteries: Murray and Petit, Col
Inns, Holmes and Reiney.
Paducah came near shutting out the
sluggers from Cairo yesterday after
noon. Many people thought it was
due to the new pitcher, but while he
pitched q fine game and played all over
the field. the good support he received
had whole lot to do with the vic
tory.
Probably very few of the spectators
thought when they went out that Pa
ducah stood more than remote chance
to win the game, and when they saw
Brockett strut to the slab for the
Egyptians and remembered that record
of twenty games won and only four
lost, their hearts sank within them,
and they braced themselves for another
defeat.
The siuggers from Sluggersville
couldn't bat our new southpaw pitch
er, as they had been batting other
pitchers in the league. They hit him
all right but they couldn't get them
punched and those that were driven
out towards the Cairoites favorite re-
sort, the outfeld fence, were promptly
attended to by the gardeners on duty
there, Akers, Ray and Long.
The visitors were unable to score
until the fifth inning, when Smith
made a hit and scored on Crotty's
double, Hughes and Wallace getting
singles which scored Crotty. The
visitors had several subsequent narrow
escapes from making tallies. however,
but they found Doyle invincible.
As to the redoubtable Brockett, he
had to be taken out in the fourth, and
Wilder was substituted. Brockett was
wild, and besides he did not want to
pitch in the first place, which may
have been the secret of his failure to
do it.
There was a great deal of two-to-
one money on CAIRO floating around,
but there will not be the next time
Doyle pitches. Cairoites are betting
even money that Cairo takes six out
of eight from Paducah, however.
Paducah had batting streak yester
day, and all but one Of the boys got a
hit, Potts getting three. The visitors
made thirteen hits of Doyle, while
Paducah got eleven of the Cairo
pitchers. The hits secured of boy ID
show that his support had something
to do with winning the game. Sum

BASEBALL NOTES.

Paducah's new southpaw, Doyle. is
late of the Cotton States league. First,
Doyle is mighty good man because
ne was formerly newspaper reporter.
Last year he played with Sydney, o.,
and beat Cairo two games, hence many
of the Cairo boys know him ami knew
what to expect from him yesterday.
He went to the Cotton States league
this year and played portion of the
time with Monroe, La. and city where
the noted rs inning 0 to 0 game was
played this season. and from there
went TO Little Rock, Ark. The eli
mate down there did not agree with
him and he was sick a great deal of
the time, and as they were paying him
5000 month he became too expensive
and they had TO let him go. He went
I to Cairo but Cairo's staff Of pitchers
was full and as they were satisfied
with those they have and could not
afford to take on such an expensive
man they let Paducah have him.
Doyle is there with the goods He
knows the game and plays it.
The Cairo men say that Lloyd is
one of the best pitchers Paduoah has.
"You fellows don't appreciate him"
declared one yesterday. Whenever
YOU get a man who can let Cairo down
with four hits as he did there, you
have blank good man, I'm telling
YOU. He also let GAINESVILLE down
with three hits. The trouble is the
grand stand roasts him and the team
does not give him any support"
Mr.. Dick Callissi is getting up 3
basebal team here to play Mayfield.
Recently an amateur team composed
of boys went down to play that team
and were so badly beaten that the
game was stopped in disgust in the
seventh inning. Mr. Callissi intends
TO secure the best amateurs here and
secure a series of three games and
feels confident Of winning out.
1t ia probable that next season will
find the grand stand and bhachers
moved to another portion Of the ball
park. The players hate to come to
Paducah because the sun Is In their
eyes constantly while in the field, and
they can hardly field pail after it has
been stopped as the sun blinds them
and they can't see where to throw.
There will be dou BILE header played
ut Cairo Sunday between Paducab ant
Cairo. There are two games OWNS
the Paduoah and Cairo teams and this
double header will leave but ono. II
is thought that large crowd will 70

The Refunding Process.

Here, in nutshell. is what Secretary
Shaw accomplished by his bond sale:
He exchanged $SO,O0OOoO of per cent.
bonds for 8 and per cent bends which
would not have matured for several
years, by which operation the govern
mcnt will save S5.0c0,O00 per annum in
future interest payments and he en-
couraged the taking out of new circu-
lation by national banks to the amount
of $40. coo, 0C0, thus making IN important
contribution to the relief of the money
market. If there is not plenty of money
to move the crops this fall, it will not
be the fault of Secretary .law or of
