The measure will be strongly pushed by Senator Porter, but is being widely criticized and discussed by members of the legislature. who do not agree upon the matter Some of them think 1t is like cutting off dogs head to cure him of some disease. The remedy is considered rather harsh, and as using disturbance of the fundamental conditions to effect a temporary and subordinate purpose. The Jackson charter bill, which also proposes abolition of the in- strument, will enter largely into the Nashville fight, the opponents of that measure making common cause with the Nashville opponents to down both.

How the Famous Porterhouse Came
to BE So Termed.

On almost every bill OF fare are
seen the words "porterhouse steak"
Now, most people know what a por-
terhouse steak is. having on some &C.
casioH eaten one, or at least piece
Of beef that went by that name, but
few people know how the name itself
originated. Years ago there was a
hosiery near Harvard university kept
by man named Porter. Soon this
tavern became famous for its viands,
especially for it's cuts Of meats. The
stranger stopping there for meal
and not knowing exactly what to or
der would be advised by his genial
host. Mr.. Porter, to order a steak. So
good were his steaks that travellers
often spoke of them, and gradually
began referring to them as the
steak you get at Porter's house"
From that 1t was but a short time
before they were referred to as the
porter house steak" Since then
butchers all over the country have
found out the way In which Mr.. Por-
ter cut his famous steak, and have
been making the same CUTS them
selves, hence the porterhouse steak
has been served the country over.
Only a month or so ago the old Por-
ter house was moved back to make
room for row of tenement houses
that are now being built in front
of 1t.
