Washington Elm Doomed.

Cambridge, Mass, Sept. 21.-The
famous Washington elm, a fine old
tree. under which General Washing
ton took command of the American
army on July 8. 1775, is uoomed. The
tree the age of which is estimated at
$50 years, is gradually decaying and
it is feared by the Cambridge park
commissioners, will soon have to be
removed to prevent accidents. During
the past summer several branches
broke off and had to be removed, and
the question is seriously considered to
cut down the tree and plant a young
one in its place.

take unlbrage at the impudent reply of small calibre power like Ven ezuela than can the president take of fense at the small boy who greets him with "Hurrah for Debs.' In the esti- nation of state department officials and of many diplomats in Washington, President Castro has made a grave tactical error. Had American claims against Venezuela been submitted to The Hague, or other arbitral tribunal. Venezuela would have been assured the advantage of full and fair inyes tigation of the equity of the claims and could have been compelled to pay only what proved to be just. Under exist ing circumstances, Castro has deprived his country of the benefits of such a tribunal and of the advantages accru- ing from the better sort of investiga. ton. while the United States will be compelled to conduct an investigation outside of Venezuela and will, if such an inquiry seems to establish the eoui- ty Of the claims, be entirely warranted III the application of force to insure their collection.

Tan Colored Rubber overshoe,.

An authority on attire saye late fad which Is likely to become popular this spring. especially with women, is the tan colored rubber overshoe. These rubbers are of course intended to be worn with tan colored shoes. and they are. for some mysterious reason, more nearly invisible on a tan shoe. if the shades are the same. than a black rub Der is on a black shoe. says the Phila- delphia Record. When you come to think of it." says the authority quoted. tits queer the tan rubber was not thought of long ago. for a black rub Der on tan shoe certainly does make the feet unduly conspicuous on a mud dy day.

The fiscal year of the city of Hart. ford ends in the month of March, and the committee appointed to devise ways and means and make estimates and lay tax has just made report. X tax of IS mills is recommended. Hartford has a population once and a half that of Waterbury. Here we will have to pony up nearly forty mill tax. Hartford's. police and fire ser vice costs about $2SO,OOO. while in Waterbury we get off with $l22,- 4lS55. For educational matters Hart ford pays S225,00O, but in Waterbury we go the Capitol City one better and spend S270244. Hartforl's street de- partment is given over S30O.0OO. In Waterbury the board of public works must be contented with thirty or forty thousand dollars less. or to be accur- ate, S266.S00. After glance at these figures one wonders why Waterbury taxpayerS are assessed double what the rate payers In Hartford pay.

A CHURCH INNOVATION
Illinois Congregation Provides Lunch at Prayer Meetings.
SCHEME TO AROUSE INTEREST.

Methodist Church In Bloomington,
 H., Adopts Novel Method of Att
 tracting Members to Midweek
 Services, and the Attendance h GrowinR-Simple Food Served.
 Arguing that tho only way to reach the souls and hearts of some men is through their stomachs. the congre- gation of the First Methodist church of Bloomington, H., has introduced q system of lunches to be given to at- tendants of the weekly prayer meet ings, says a special dispatch from Bloomington to the St. Louis Post-Dis- patch.
 These meetings are held on wednes- day evening, and, although the church has a membership of Zoo, one of the largest charges of the Methodist de- nomination In central Illinois, 1t has been impossible to draw an audience of more than seventy-f five to hundred persons to the prayer services.
 Dr. Charles F. Masden. who came to the church as pastor from the First church of Milwaukee last fall, deter. mined to arouse interest in the prayer meetings. He suggested supplying lunches and, although the idea was considered revolutionary by staid mem bers who consider all innovations of this character as questionable. the pas tor finally succeeded in inducing the congregation to give the system a trial.
 He arranged for the members of the Ladies' Aid society, which looks after the needy members of the charge, tC take their sewing each Wednesday aft ernoon and prepare the lunch for the prayer meeting. The women agreed and also expressed their willingness to remain to prayer meeting also. This was gain among the fair sex.
 Next the men were sought. The mer- chants and clerks who closed their places of business at 6 to o'clock and went home to supper hesitated in too many instances about going back uptown" to prayer meeting. The me chanic who left his work bench and laid aside his tools after a wearisome days work and who walked perhaps a mile to his suburban home usually felt too weary to retrace his steps to the church after eating his evening meal
 Men in other occupations who once reached their homes after the days toll felt more inclined to remain by their own freside than to brave the weather to hear an hours service. These were the candidates for the lunch bait
 The bait was set daintily. and the fish bit greeiily. Every member who had been negiectful of the prayer meeting service for the reasons given was in vited to step over to- the church when his days uc-k vas done and part.ke of the lunch Once inside the dining hall the hour passed quickly. and when the steaming coffee was served at the close the partic;psnts. vith hungf

abated, were willingly led to tbe ais- sembly room of the church, where the prayer meeting was held.
 The first prayer meeting held with the lunch as prelude was marked by the presence of 100 more members than at any similar meeting in years. Of these seventy-five participated in the lunch feature, and it was estimated by the pastor and others interested in the unique idea that the increase in attend ance was due directly to the gastro- homie attraction.
 The menu served is simple, consisting only of coffee, bread and butter, beans with pork, ham sandwiches and dish of fruit. There is no limit to the amount each person is allowed to eat. Women in neat attire wait upon the tables, and the repast is opened with a blessing upon the food and the object sought. Long tables, such as are commonly used for church suppers. are in service.
 For the opening meetings with the lunch attraction tables and seats were only provided for 100. but as the at- tendance and interest grew more room was needed and more provender was prepared.
 Since the idea was first introduced Dr. Masden has received many inquir- les concerning the results and the plan of operation. He is enthusiastic over the results and believes that the invest mentis wise.
 He Is strongly supported in his views by many of the most influential mem- bers of his congregation, and the doubt ing Thomases who have looked upon the innovation with pessimistic expres- sions have been silenced. It is believ- ed in Bloomington that the prayer meeting lunch is a permanent fixture and that it will prove a winner in soul saving.
