He pleaded not guilty. He was rep

Public sentiment in Rowan n re-

undergone a great change and there is
now strong desire that the leaders

Need Of a Reform stove.

From the New York Sun.
/, a. wonder" a Brooklyn woman said
''why the stove manufacturers do not
employ feminine talent to assist in
their designing. What housekeeper
wants is plain lines instead of curves
and filigree work that quickly fill up
with blacking and soon give the stove
an untidy. not to say horrid. look.
wash my range every morning with
dish water and wipe it with wooden
rag rather than have its crevtces and
corners and curves cloged with black
ing, / think If men who design stoves
had to clean them we should soon
have neat and sensible kind OF
stove architecture"
