THE STEAMSHIP STEWARD.

anticipates wants. and when not
wanted keeps out OF sight, but within
call II the steward does all this, and
does IL with tact and diligence, with a
foresight that sometimes sayors of the
miraculous, he IS a useful appurte-
nance Of the vessel. and worthy Of a
feu-shilIing tlp at the end OF the voy-
age
But il you want to know the stew
ard as a man you must study him in
the glory hole" Perhaps you are
wondering what that is. Let me tell
you about It; though If you wish to
know why il Is called the glory hole
you must put your question to some
body older than am. There is moth
ing especially glorious about it. though
you viii recognize II as a hole, and a
deep one; for, when you go down, the
descent. like that TO Avernus, is easy,
and seems almost as far. The Jacobs

is so steep that a mis-step might easily
mean a sheer drop Of 30 feet or so.
There. way down In the bowels OF
the ship. you discover that the glory
hole consists Of five or six good-sized
rooms. all filed full OF tiers OF gas
piping hunks where the sleepers lie
side BY side. Under these tiers Of gas
piping hunks the stewards boxes are
slowed There Is no other furniture.
The glory hole is essentially a sleep
ing room, and the steward has little
time for anything else when there.
Yet the linen on the 3o-inch-wide
hunks IS good and clean. and the
'hole" is scrupulously neat for one
man Is detailed TO keep It so; and, in
deed. it is inspected daily.

Fooo WARNED VIE LINE.
New Invention for Preparing Soldiers
Rations with the Applica-
ton Of Water.

The United States government,
while exercising great care In equip
ping her army, has been equally aa
consIderate in supplying the most nod
ern foodstufs for its consumption.
The serious problem to be contended
with is the furnishing Of materials
that have large nutritive constituents
and at the same time can be conven-
iently carried. Commissary General
Weston, according to Washington re-
port. few days ago said that one OF
the best concentrated rstions yet
found is a mixture of fresh beef and
fresh vegetables; food that is health
full and palatable, and which can be
supplied to the troops wherever they
CO. This preparation is put up in her.
metically sealed cans, which preserves
its freshness for an indefinite period.
Only the best parts of the animal are
used, and the vegetables compounded
are onions and potatoes. Experiments
are now being made with this new
food and so far 1t has been found very
satisfactory.
The war department has recently
been making some experiments with
self-heated canned goods which are a
new invention. They come in double
Jacket cans, the space between the two
jackets being occupied by unslacked
lime All that has to be done to heat
these is to punch hole in the bottom
at the proper place and pour IN a lit
tie water An intense heat is gener-
ated Immediately, and within a few
moments the contents are ready to
serve This process is especially
adaptable for heating coffee. Candy
is another material not supplied as a
regular ration. but is furnished to the
soldiers at cost. Certain things are
found not to be absolutely requisite
as necessaries, but nevertheless are
deemed essential for the comfort OF
the men.
Another difficulty encountered by
this department has been the supply
ing Of ration. satisfactory for emar-
gency purposes, for the use Of soldiers
who have been detached from their
commands Under such circumstances
they are obliged to carry with them in
their haversacks their supply Of food.
A ration which has been finally decided
upon for this purpose has the form Of
a sort Of cartridge packed in boxes and
weighinga trihe over pound. Each
one Of these boxes contains enough
food for a day. which is divided up in
oiled paper. These packets contain a
yellowish mealike stuff which can be
converted into soup. This preparation
IS composed Of two parts parched
wheat and one third eyaporated beef
Eggs concentrated by evaporation are
also now being used IN enormous guam
titles.

widow. Many years ago she was di-

she applied Tor a pension on account OF a
second husband who had died. The
department discovered that she had
been divorced from Edward" Jones
instead OF Edmond" Jones. a mistake

Now she is compelled to institute an

WILLIAMS IN COURT.
Application for Counsel Made by Ac-
cused Murderer.

BENJAMIN Williams, the man accused
Of the murder of Policeman James r.
NcGrath. who was shot last May. was
in county court Tuesday afternoon
for the purpose Of making Application
for counsel Williams has been at the
states prison in Windsor for many
weeks but was brought to burlington
Monday for the purpose of appearing
in court. ne has apparently gained in

face is assuming the prison paior ana

court room Tuesday afternoon Will

ccedings began v. y Billiard suggest
ed to Judge Powers that the irons be
removed ana the court directed the
sheriff to liberate Williamss hands,
which was done. Williams was calm
and collected and was apparently as
much at ease as though he were again
on wagon scat, performing his army
duties.
Previous 10 Williams's appearance in
court Attorney H. T.. shaw had filed an
affidavit stating that Williams was
without money and could not secure
counsel, The request for counsel was
made and it was Williams's wish that
Y. y. Bullard appear for him.
When the hearing opened Judge
Powers asked Attorney Shaw if il had
been explained to Williams that Mr..
Bullard WAS to be away from October |
until about THANKSGIVING time, owing
to the fact that he had been elected city
representative. Mr.. Shaw said that
Williams had been notified of that fact
but that lie still wanted Mr. Bullard.
Judge Powers then suggested that it
was desired to complete the case
against Williams previous to December
l. because states Attorney Leary' s
term of office expired at that time.
Mr.. Shaw was asked 70 communicate
with Williams further and they, in
company with the sheriff retired to the
witness room. Upon returning TO the
court room Mr.. Shaw said that williams
wanted no one but Mr. Billiard. Judge
Powers said the court would take the
application under consideration and an
nounced that it would not be necessary
for Williams 20 be present when Il deci =
sion was announced
After this announcement Mr. Bullard
addressed tho court, saying that if he
was called as counsel in the case he
should have to ask that the case be
continued until next term. He said
that from facts in his possession he
knew 1t would be impossible to prepare
the case by December !. Williams was
hen reShackled and taken back to Jail
by the sheriff ana Turnkey BelI<y

THE PUBLIC WHARF.
VIII Probably Not he Utilized This Fall
on Account of Needed Repairs.

The dock, which was rented hv the CITY
from w. j. Van Patten pending the
purchase Of q municipal wharf, has not
Yet been utilized. The repairs that are
necessary before the dock can be used
have not been made. owing to the fact
that the expense would be so large that
IT would not be profitable to spend the
amount for 50 short Il time as the dock
will be used.
There is little difference in the rate of
transportation per ton on coal now be-
tween the railroads and the canal boats.
the roads charging ten cents more per
ton. Because of this small difference the
Goa! used by the city will probably be-
sent hH rail-. Next spring the matter of
purchasing dock will be considered
again. In the meantime if anyone wishcs.
to use a public wharf the one rented
by the city can be repaired and used and
will be so repaired if needed
