QUOTE FIGURES AT
 BESSEMER MEETING
MAINE FAR BEHIND OTHER NEW ENGLAND STATES BECAUSE OF HANDICAP OF so-cALLED PRO- HlBITION.

Bessemer, october 26.-Special )-The ant-prohibitionists closed their campaign. which has been an aggressive one. in Bes- semer at rousing meeting held in Rebe hall. T. Y. Huffman presided.
 The first speaker Dr. J. s. Gillespy, native of Jefferson county, and a steward in the Five Points Methodist church of Birmingham, made most elo- quent appeal for the preservation of the present prosperity. He denounced those imported from other states to disturb the happy conditions now here. He made an earnest plea that our southern women and children should not go to the polls.
 Frank Nelson spoke next He showed that the population of Maine had in- creased l11,000 in 90 years whereas Massa- chusetts, without prohibition, has in- creased l,S00.o00 and little Connecticut 531,OC0 and Rhode Island not much larger than Jefferson county has increased 2S1,- OC0 and Alabama during the same period lOS100o in population. Statistics were pre- sented showing that while Kansas has 35S,o00 less population than Alabama, yet in l9o6 the federal government issued S425 revenue licenses for the sale of whisky in that state as against 1779 in Alabama
 w. r. Pinkard made very eloquent ap- peal for the preservation of the existing industrial conditions. He estimated the values in Jefferson at $50, 0,0000 000, and de- clared it as his belief that the proposed innovation, if successful would reduce values 90 per cent. He drew constra sts between the men who had built up the great industrial district and are against prohibition with Brooks Lawrence and Chairman Seasons who blndly sought 10 tear down the prosperous conditions now prevailing.

(Advertisement.) Qualifications of Real Estate Votere

In your issue of Saturday morning the Property Owners and Good Government Committee publish a list of 36 names culled from theI list of real estate men. who happen td differ with this (self- styled) Good Government Committee. '' as to the effect that prohibition will have on real estate values, giving as the only reason why these 36 names should not have any consideration or weig..t that these 36 men or firms had not paid any real estate license. When was the law so amended as to make it requisite that before man could express his opinion in public or private, through the press or at the polls that he must first pay a license to do business? That is the col lectors business, not yours.
 Before going over this list let's see what the city code requires, and who are subject to real estate license The law is very plain and very clear on the subject Not to quote the code in full, it requires that every person or mem Der of firm selling or offering for sale on commission, or renting or offering to rent real estate on commission shall pay into the city treasury the amount fixed from time to time by the City Council.
 Now, let's look at this list of 36: D N. Malone is connected with W. N. Ma lone Co.,, and under a ruling of the city license collector is not subject to ilANisO' +huul1oi h iSJ Htll dllu J. J. Davidson have paid all the license re- quired and have their certificates in their offices. J. NJ. Crowder, H. NJ. Martin, w. H. Tharpe X Co. Pickens-Tharp Realty Co.,, Lovejoy, Owens & Taylor Co.,. sell their own and their company's property. deal on their own account and are not subject to license; R. E, Cooper is con nected with R. P. McDavid and buys and sells on his own account; J. l.. Fletcher is employed by the firm of Bai.ey Howard on a salary, collector and is not subject to license.
 We have not had the time nor oppor- unity to fully investigate the others, but do know that the majority of them do not deal in city property, and are, therefore not liable for city license. Had not one single man or firm that was published in the list as holding the opinion that prohibition would not materially effect the value of real estate paid any license would that fact alone disqualify them from expressing their opinion on this oI any other subject?
 Now. gentlemen of the Good Govern ment Committed" we hope you will live up to your name and claims, and see that cense are required to pay (eVen in your own ranksl. and thereby render the real estate men who do pay,sa valuable serv- ice and aid us in doing what we have tried to do for years.

By Mutual Consent.

From the Boh hemian.
 Like other actresses Miss Jessie Bus ley delights in seeing a good play, and takes advantage of every occasion, when she is not playing herself, to visit one or another of the theatres in the city where she may happen to be. Two years ago she chanced to be in Chicago on a Sunday night. Looking over the advertisements in the newspa- pers she decided to see d well known comedy written by widely known playwright. She sat in a box and di- rectly below her in two orchestra chairs in the fifth row were seated an aged couple who bore every mark of the rustic type. Both, it appeared be- fore the play had progressed very far were very much interested but the old gentleman was hard of hearing, and depended on his wife for the repaiition of many of the lines that escaped him.
 A well known actor, who shall be nameless in the light of what follows, but who is swollen up with an idea of his own value and artistic achievement, had the leading part, and finally came to line that read:
 I'm rotten; rotten all through"
 The old gentleman turned to his wife and said quite loudly: What does he say?"
 The old lady leaned toward him and replied so shrilly that half the house heard her: "He says he's rotten all through
 "so he is. So he is." returned the old man with deep conviction.

The Whirling Dervishes.

 Those spirits upon the hunt for sen eations' in Constantinople will wish to take in" the Dervishes. The Whirling clan have convenient convent on the Grande Rue where their circumnaviga- tions may be witnessed at 7:30 on Friday evening for the admission of 10 cents. This weird performance personifies the solar system and Is exactly ordered in all its phases. After preliminary circuits of the ring in single file to the discordant accompaniment of flute and tambourne, the robed and turbaned Derxishes' com mence their turning. With arms out stretched, the right palm upwards to be- seech blessings, the left depressed to signify mercy bestowed, the head is bent upon the right shoulder. The rapid re- volving upon the right heel is effected by employing the left toes as motive power. As the circling accelerates, the long white skirts dilate until they stand out stiff after the manner of the attenuated garment of the premiere danseuse. H Very little space is allotted to each priest and it seems strange that there are no collisions. The dance ceases in an hour or so with the men exhausted

A Western Utopia.

In the famous Wenatchee valley in Washington, although orchard land IS worth $500 and 5000 an acre, every orchard is a good paying investment and there are no neglected tracts, Writes Guy E. Mitchell in the October num- Der of Technical World rMagazine. TO see some of these orchards or farms you leave the business district or the town and soon come to comfortable houses, placel q little back from the street, in the midst of what look like large city blocks-six hundred and sixty by three hundred and thirty feet, each perfectly cultivated orchard and garden These are in fact, five acre tracts. Some of the houses have only an acre, while ilttle farther on are some ten acre blocks; put this is about the limit. Irrigation mas wiped out the lonesome country and IL is all one big village community. The town lots are fruit farms and the farms are town lots. These little plots, too have made their owners comparatively wealthy in from six to eight years. Near ly every house has its electric lights and it's telephone service and it's running water and bath tub, and its hourlshing garden Iand lawn and hedge. The valley has rural free delivery. There are no labor unions because wages are normally high. unconsciously the people have solved many social problems which are racking the best brains of the people ~of older cities The telephone monopoly is in their own hands for they own the stock of the Farmers Telephone com pany and everybody gets unlimited serv- ice for SIP year, while the company pays a regular dividend. They have a fruit growers union which secures the best price for fruit for all the members. The union owns the fruit growers ware house and eastern buyers arc on hand promptly to buy at from ono dollar and fifty cents pre- short bushel boxes of apples at the warehouse. The western irrigated apples are never shipped in bar rels; they are wrapped and packed like oranges in boxes. And the trees bear every year with the regularity of clock work

Cleaning Marble.

Shave a cake of good laundry soap
into half a gallon of warm water, set
on the stove and bring slowly to a
boil, adding a tablespoonful of house
hold ammonia. When the soap is
quite dissolved, pour it into a jar and
keep as a soap jelly. For recent
stains on the marble, make a paste of
half a cupful of the jelly with pow
dered unslacked lime; spread this on
the marble and let it remain for two
weeks; then scour we'll with soft
soap, a little more lime and hot
water. Rinse and wipe dry and rub
with a bit of felt, which will restore
the polish better than anything else.
For old stains, or those that have
been of long standing, mix a quarter
of a pint each of oX-gall and soapsuds
with half as much t%urpentine; add
enough powdered Fuller's earth to
this to make a paste, and spread on
the marble; let it remain two or three
days, wipe off and repeat if needed.
For black marble, mix equal parts
Of soft soap and pearl ash; apply with
a flannel cloth; let it remain ten min
utes, and then wash off. Rub mar

Shooting Gallery Secret.

The beach was empty. The board
walk was dead. The shooting gallery
man was packing to so South for the
winter.
do you see this glass ball?" he
said.
1t was a ball Of hollow glass, an
airy glass soap bubble, that had
swung all summer at the end of a
thread in the foreground of the clay
pipes, bells and whatnot that had
made up the gallery's targets.
This glass ball." the man went
on, lis my great money maker. All
summer long people tried to hit this
ball-it was bigger and nearer than
any other target-and everybody
failed. Thousands Of bullets were
fired at the ball, thousands of nickels
we're spent on it, yet here it is still
untouched, my best breadwinner.
"All wise shooting gallery men
have a glass ball like this. 1t makes
such a tempting target, yet it is never
hit. 1t is never hit because the air
that precedes a gun charge is suf'
ficient to blow the ball aside, out OF
the way. You might ire a hundred
shots at it, but, like a living thing,
like a timid soldier, for instance, II
would dodge each shot."-St. Louis

the British East India Company, to

With the opening of the Sues

ers for sailing vessels the mission OF
st. Helena vas gone. The route tc
the East has left the South Atlantic

bound for the Cape would have to
go far out of their way to call at st.

years, and whatever trade used to go
TO the island has long since left it.

"As Mother Used to Do"

The ho]usekeeper too frequently
fails to realize that where help is
kept the profit of her services is near
ly doubled by having a we'll furnished
and conveniently arranged kitchen.
Sand grit from small fruit may be
removed by placing tie fruit carefully
in a clean basket and dipping the
basket repeatedly in fresh cold water.
There should be at least one easy
chair in the kitchen, a wall pocket
with sewing. materials and a rack
for books and magazines; the extra
h%elpfulness of the help" will more
than reoay this thoughtfulness.

was luckily for Miss Aldred that his
indignation supplied him with a fine
flow of words, during which she was
able to collect her thoughts; or, in
her alarm-since concealment was
now out of the questionable might
have told him more than was neces-
sary.
II shouldn't complain" continued
her brother, eff Sophy had fallen in
love with some curled darling-such
as one sees in the hairdresser's win
dows-but the man she is encourag-
ing is not only a fool, but a vicious
fool; perhaps even a scamp, or a
scoundrel. Of course you noticed,
what everybody else noticed, last
evening how he drank her health in
public-conduct which nothing can
excuse in my eyes, however, eioneao
excuse, as the phrase goes, but drink.
1t is no excuse in my eyes, however,,
but rather an aggravation. More
over, it cannot be said that it was a
temporary exhibition: I hear, on the
best authority, that he went to the
ball in a state of liquor. That is why
I said that I was not sorry you did
not go. And I shall be still better
pleased to hear that the reason OF
Sophy's absence vas the a%pprehen-
sion Of meeting him, after what had
taken place at my rooms"
II really and truly believe that it
was" answered Aunt Maria. II did
not mean to say anything about it
to you, because I promised Sophy not
to do so; but that is what, on the
whole, I gathered from her. I don't
think she has any such fancy for
him as she had; and If she is
ashamed of him, of course that Is a
great point gained; only I entreat
you to be careful in what you say to
her. Opposition is the soil on which
this sort of love affair thrives best"
That's all very well in plays,
Maria; but in real life 1t does not do
to trust to a girls having her eyes
opened to her lovers unworthiness
by his own misdoings. Upon one
thing I shall tell Sophy I have made
up my mind; Nh. Perry never crosses
my threshold again"
The intervention of Canon Aldred
in matters of his own house had the
rarity of a miracle, but also the force.
His laws, when he did go in for law
making, were as those of the Modes
and Persians; and Aunt Maria was
we'll aware that no pleading on her
part on behalf of Mr.. Herbert Perry
would either defer or mitigate his
sentence of perpetual exile.
She bowed her head and pursed her
lips, the former in obedience to her
brothers ukase, the latter in silent
protest against it; lookup her needle
work-a sign she was not coming
back in a hurry-and left the room.
Unconscious of her aunt's step
upon the stairs, Sophy sits alone, with
a letter in her hand. 1t has just
reached her, but not by the post; for
she has other ways of communicating
with the outside world.

Cleansing Silk.

In washing silk there are four
things to be avoided-rubbing,
wringing, heat and soap. Use luke
warm water, and if the silk is much
soiled make a lather with a good
white soap, but never rub the soap
directly on the cloth. If only slightly
soiled, bran water is preferable to
soap. Swish the article round and
round, but do not rub. When clean,
rinse IN water to which one table.
spoonful CT vinegar has been added
for each quart of water. Place be.
tween dry cloths and squeeze out as
much moisture as possible, but do
not wiring. Iron at once, between

Sponging with coffee will remove
the greasy appearance that especially
affects gros grain silks.
A good r%enoyating fluid for black
silk is a little rock of ammonia and a
lump of common soda dissolved in
one-half pint boiling water. Sponge
