Jefferson and curIo Dealer.

The late Joseph Jefferson was a
virtuoso of note. While here in the
'70's, delighting London audiences
with his great impersonation Of RIP
Van Winkle," he was a daily visitor
to curiosity shops and bought what
ever took his fancy. At the time, 1t
was remarked that Mr.. Jefferson was
up to all the tricks of the curio trade
and could not be induced to purchase
an article that was anything but gen

dealer he would smilingly remark:

GOVERNMENT LIGHT.
HISTORIC cHlckAMAueA PARK
ABLAzE WITH ILLUMINATION.
United States System of Lighting Mill
tary Post Pronounced Gratifyinsiy
Successful-Six and One-HaIf Miles
Of Mains-Sixty-Five Street Lights.

Chickamauga Park Ga, May 81
The United States government has here
in operation one of the largest acety-
lene gas plants in the world. The mill
tary post at the entrance of the histor-
ical Chickamauga battlefield where
thirty thousand Union and Confederate
soldiers were lost in the memorable
battle of Sept. 10 and 20, 1863, contains
about one hundred buildings, the
twenty-five principal ones of which are
lighted with acetylene. To accom-
plish this six and one-half miles of
mains and two miles of service pipes
are in use. while sixty-fve street
lamps brilliantly illuminate the ave-
nues of the post.
In 1903 the War Department in
stalled test acetylene plant at Fort
Meyer. Virginia. The results were
so gratifying and the superiority
of the illuminant so evident that the
government, March 20. 1904, placed
the contract for the Chickamauga
plant, in which every citizen of the
United States should have his pro
rata of pride.
But the government has not con-
fined its acceptance of acetylene to
this military post Since becoming
satisfied of the efficiency, superiority
and economical advantages OF this
particular illuminant, the United
States has installed number of
plants in Indian schools and other gov
eminent institutions.
Acetylene gas is one of the simplest
as well as the most perfect of artificial
lights. 1t is made by the contact
of water and carbide, "a manufactured

Cream Barley soup.-Wash cup of
pearl barley, drain, and simmer slow
ly in two quarts of water for four or
five hours, adding boiling water from
time to time as needed. When the
barley is tender, strain off the liquor,
of which there should be about three
pints; add to it a portion of the
cooked barley grains, salt, and cup

be used instead of cream.

When the Garfield report on the
business methods of the packers APP
peared, after eight months investiga-
ton. it was severely criticised az
roundly denounced. After three
months of, publicity 1t is significant
that those who attempted to discredit
1t have failed to controvert the figures
contained in that exhaustive docu-
ment. The public is beginning to no
tice this omission, and the feeling is
rapidly growing that the sensational
charges out of which the Beef In
vestieation' arose were without foun-
dation If the official statements OF
the report are susceptible of contra
diction. a good many people are now
asking why the facts and figures are
not furnished to contradict them.
The truth seems to be that most of
the charges contain unfounded sensa-
tional assertions. A fragrant example
of this appeared in a recent article in
an Eastern magazine, to the effect
that forty Iowa banks were forced
to close their doors in 1904 by the
Beef Trusts manipulation of cattle
prices" Chief Clerk Cox. of the bank
ing department of the Iowa State Au-
ditor's office. has tabulated the list OF
banks given in the magazine article
and has publicly denounced the state
ment as utterly untrue. He gives
separately the reasons for each fail
ure mentioned and officially states
that they have been caused by unwise
cancellations and Nv recklees hankfn o
methods. 1t may be well to suspend
judgment upon the packers until the
charges against them are proved.
