LENTEN DISHES.

Fish Pudding-Take haddock, Or
If not obtainable, fresh cod, and boil
the fish until the skin and bones
may be separated easily, as there
must be no chance to cut or crush
the fish. Put this flesh into a wood
Ell bowl and beat 1t with a pestle--
always beating the sanfe way-un-
til it has formed light paste. This
process will require about half an
hours labor. When this has been
done mix two we'll beaten eggs into
a half pint Of rich cream, and add
the mixture, almost drop by drop,
to the fish, beating 1t in with the pes
tie. If this is conscientiously done
the cook, by the end of another half
hour, should have most attractive.
fluffy paste in the bowl. This must
then be placed in mold, and steam
ed for an hour, after which 1t may
be served in slices, with a sauce
made Of melted butter, chopped par
sley and paprika.
Stuffed Sweet Potatoes-Select
large, fine potatoes of uniform size
Bake them soft, taking care that
they do not burn. With sharp
knife cut slit lengthwise in each

There are salads and salads. sa-

WOMEN AFTER STREETS.
Tacoma Club Example for Others
to Follow.

The Woman's club, Tacoma 5
strongest organization of public-spir-
tied women interested in civic qpes-
tons, has taken up a matter often
advocated in these columns, and in a
letter to the city council is urges
that suitable receptaeles be provid
ed at convenient places. on the streets
for waste paper and other refuse now
scattered upon sidewalks and road
ways. We pointed out a few months
ago the great benefit which Denver
has derived from the introduction of
a simple but very useful and easily
handled dirt can, inside which a
stout bag is suspended, and which
is closed with a movable top in the
shape of hopped opening into the
sack. When the bag is full, the sea-
venger simply unlocks the lid, raises
it, removes the sack with its con-
tents to his wagon, and substitutes
an empty bag. These receptacles are
neither expensive nor unsightly, and
the convenience with which their
collections of refuse can be hauled
away in the sacks TO be emptied on
the dumps, without scattering dust
in the streets, is the strongest poini
in their favor.
AS the letter of the Woman's club
to the council suggests, progressive
cities of the size of Tacoma have
nearly all adopted some such device
for keeping their streets free from
waste and reducing the labor of the
street cleaners. A properly design
ed dirt can, attached to lamp post
or telegraph pole at street corner,
is a standing reminder to the indi-
vidual citizen of his duty to promote
the beauty of the town by at least
exercising the negative virtue of not
defiling it. Tacoma is behind the
times in failing to provide recepta-
cles of this kind. II funds are lack
ing to purchase a large number at
once, the council should make q be-
ginning by placing them at reason
able intervals in the business dis
trict and at railway intersections In
the residence streets. We are conf
dent that the lessened cost Of street
cleaning and the greater attractive
ness OF the city's thoroughfares
would soon lead to q general demand
for their introduction in every built
up residence or business quarter.
The Woman's club is also working
bravely for public drinking foun-
tains. We heard good deal about
these desirable institutions last sum-
mer. when the weather was hot; and
the council then ordered the erection
Of one in G strest, near Ninth. But
the order was not obeyed BY the
commission Of public works. In
stead Of having half dozen foun-
tains In different parts Of town. To
coma Il still to erect IT. hrst one.
The city council should 80 that the
fountain alredy ordered u elected q
once. and that others follow. Ever

 Nathan Sharp Dead.
 The circumstances surrounding the death of Nathan Sharp, aged 60 years. which oc- cured st an carly hour this morning at West End, were of scuh nature as to cause Coroner Paris to make an investigation. The result, however, of this investigation showed that while death was sudden it was natural.
 MT. Sharp was we'll known in this city as horse dealer.
 A few days ago he felt. i'll and went to the home of William Pritchard, a friend living at 303 rGady Street, West End. This morning about o'clock, Mir. Pritchard upon looking out of the house, saw Hr. Sharp in the back yard. The latter soon returned to his room and about 5 o'clock the dead body was found by Mir Prftchard lying on the floor.
 The coroner was notified, as stated, and investigated the case. The remains have been removed to the Gaudin Undertaking Company. The deceased leaves a widow in Tennessee. and 1t is probable the remains will be shipped there. Heart failure is be- lived to have been the cause of death.

REPRESENTATIVE cHAs. RArrnAr.
colonel .Rattray,s experience as leg-

Colonel Rattrays experience as leg isiator have come quite infrequently. This is his second term as a member of the House but his first one was some eighteen years ago. He Is one of that class of men who refuse to take a back seat, not because he is in any degree proud or seif-eonfident, but be- cause he has poor hearing.
 Therefore, when the seating commit tee in the House, at the opening of the session, endeavored to assign him a desk and chair at the extreme rear committees judgment as final and ap- pealed to the doorkeeper. That oblig- Ing functionary at once gave the de- sired permission, and Colonel Rattray now occupies a portion of one of the benches in the front row, with his desk
 He is not one of the oratorical mem- bers, but has his vote ready ready when the roll Is called, and 1t Is doubt full if there are any legislators in eith- CT House who have answered to their names more regularly than he. He does not vote with the crowd" but has his own convictions on every bill that comes up, and Is not afrafd 70
 Colonel Rattray acquired his title in rather unique manner for member of the Alabama Legislature-by lead ing a Federal regiment in the battles of the war between the States. He but attended strictly to the business in hand; he has never made speeches to his hands in the fields on his big Cher okee County plantation, and he has car" rled the habit of years into the Legts- lature.

APPROVE RESOLUTION
COUNCIL COMMITTEE FAVORABLE
 TO FOSTER MEASURE.
Will Recommend Thorough Investiga- tiOn of Street Car system and Service-Satisaed With Showing
 of Telephone Company.

The City Council joint committee on Franchises and Privileges, and public utilities last night agreed on a favorable report on the Foster resolution calling for an investigation of the street car system of Montgomery. The commit tee. however, decided adversely on that part of the resolution providing for the employment of an expert to con duct the investigation at a cost of $10O.
 Practically every phase of the street car system comes within the resolu- tion. The measure calls for an inves- tigation of the track. poles and wire schedules. seperate accommidations for races. and equipment. and desires also to know why the ordinance re- quiring air brakes on single as well as double truck cars Is not enforced. The report probably will be made at the Council meeting tomorrow night.
 In reference to a resolution asking for investigation to know why better service is not given by the telephone company, L. F. Woodruff, district tele- phone manager, was heard at length. and the committee was not in accord with the spirit of the resolution.
 The committee meeting was attended by Aldermen Strauss, Foster, Jones and J. C. Tyson.

TO TAX STANDARD
eENATOR HAMMERS OIL BILL BE-
 FORE COMMITTEE.
WfF Greatly Increase General Revenue nR aAafe-Measure Provides That Proceeds Re Devoted To
 Schools.

Tine Judiciary Committee of the Sem ate tried to meet yesterday afternoon to consider the oil tax bill of Senator Hammer of Etowah, but quorum or meuabers could not be secured.
 The oil tax bill is regarded as one of the most important revenue measures before the Senate. It is to take the place of a measure passed by the last Legislature, but which was declared unconstitutional by the Supreme Court. It was stated that the bill in ques- zion. had 1t stood the constitutional test. would have increased the annual revenues of Alabama $1O0,o00.
 The provision for an inspection and a fax on oil was placed in the General Revenue Code. It provided that a tax of one-fourth of a cent should pc charged on every gallon of oil sold in Alabama. The original bill provided that one-fourth of the total amount or this tax should go to Auburn college, which should inspect all the oil sold in < The Supreme Court held that the bill was Unconstitutional in that 1t sought to exercise police projections, through the Enstrumentality of revenue code, and in that 1t was not enacted under sep arate caption.
 The bill of Senator Hammer provides that one-eighth of the proceeds from the oil tax shall go to Auburn. and the , remainder to the common schools or the State. Practically all the tax will be paid by the Standard Oil Company. which successfully waged fight against the former measure.
 The bill, 1t is said, will be favorably reported as soon as meeting or the committee is held.
 A short meeting of the Judiciary Committee was held yesterday morning, at which only one bill was disposed of. This was a bill changing the time of meeting of the Circuit Court of Ran dolph County.
