Couldn't Get at It.

An Irishman who had Just united
with the Catholic church in a small
town was careless enough to let the
priest catch him coming out of sa-
loon with a jug under his arm. The
priest waited for him to come by and
said:
Pat, what is 1t you have in that
jug?"
Whisky, sor," answered Pat.

NEW ERA IN THE KITCHEN.

Electricity has opened up a new
age in the kitchen of the modern
home. With electric heating comes
an infinitude of comforts and enjoy
ments for the burdened housewife
who has toiled over sizzling hot
stove for years.
Time is saved in cooking meals
health S protected, strength is con-
served and housekeeping will be made
a pleasure instead of a drudgery as in
the past, when once electricity takes
its place in the home.
Think of the long hours of killing
drudgery which housewives have
spent over cook stoves. preparing
enormous meals of hot stuff to scorch
and shrivel up the stomachs of vic
tins.
Lives have been shortened not only
by the labor Of preparing the meals,
but also by the meals themselves, be-
cause of the fact that everything
eaten by a majority of families has
been cooked overdone and eaten too
hot.
With modern appliances and mod
ern methods in the kitchen life
should be prolonged to a perceptible
degree and women should enjoy
instead of looking up
on it as a servitude, which 1t has
truly been in the past.

nearly 200 children were out in the
storm. Securing long ropes, the
crowd started out to rescue them. We
found them huddled in doorways and
by the sides of buildings. The ch Id

led to shelter by their rescuers. whose
sense of direction gradually returned
to them. Every one of the 300 school
children in the town was got home
in safety.
But seven school teachers were
frozen to death in the country during
the blizzard and thousands of cattle
died. The thermometer fell from
about the freezing point at noon to 20
degrees below zero that night. 1t

THE SAILING OF THE FLEET.

Under the sun and the skies,
over the waves of the blue,
The ships of nation are sailing
Pride of the tried and true.
Behind. the sound of music,
Friends, and the ones at home.
Before, winds of the ocean,
And wash of the white waves foam.
Under the clouds and the moon,
over the wintry sea,
The ships of a nation are sailing,
Hope of the brave and free.
Astern, swells of the ocean,
Surge of the Spanish main,
Ahead, gales from frozen coasts,
And shadowing streaks of rain.
Under the tumbllng clouds,
over the raging brine.
The ships of a nation are sailing,
Pride of her battle line.
Through Antarctic murk and gloom,
While waves and rocks are torn,
Ride the tides and face the west
In the seas below the Horn.
Under Aurora light,
Under the southern cross,
In the path of the wan sinking moon,
Where south sea billows toss;
over the deep coral reefs,
Manner by the Yankee tars
Sail the ships of nation,
Under the tropical stars.
Under the sunset skies
A nations praises blend.
Answering back from the great white
ships,
The guns their triumph send.
Under the stars and stripes,
Pride of the true and brave.
Sail the ships of nation,
America, Queen of the Wave.

DECENCY AT BAKER CITY.

No city desires to confess itself in
favor OF open notification Of law,

every community OF Americans to
prefer decency to .ndecency. All
that is needed is for the issue to be
raised. and almost invariably a ma

Mr.. DARST CALLED.
TO NEWPORT NEWS
Rector Of St. Marks, Of This City
Invited to Take Charge Of
St. Pau!'s.

The Rev. Thomas c. Darst, rector Of
ST. Marks Episcopal Church, in this
city, has received a flattering call to
the rectorshp of St. Paul's Church.,
Newport News, a large and prosperous
congregations having a membership Of
over 500 people, and owning hand
some stone church building. Mr.. Darst
when seen yesterday, admitted that he
had the call under advlsement, and
said that he felt it was entitled to due
consideration, but that he was not
ready as yet to give any final indica-
ton of what his action would be. Mr..
Darst has had most successful pas
torate at St, Marks during the pas,
three years, tho church having largely
increased in membership.
Mr. Darsts service as secretary of
the committee or arrangements for

October made him well known to the
people OF the city, and to the church
generally, as a man of force and execu'

COUNTRY
CLUB AT RIO VISTA.
Plans Well Under Way to Build
Clubhouse Overlooking
James River.

Planning for what will be the largest
and most complete country club in the
history OF the city and one that will
In time possibly absor5 the best OF
the personnel OF Hermitage and Deep
Run. more than hundred OF the most
prominent club men of the city have
secured an option on seventy acres
of land lying between Rio Vista aud
Grantland on the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway, directly overlooking the most
beautiful part OF the river III The
neighborhood of Richmond. Although
the proposed site for the new club
house Is good deal farther from the
city than either of the others, the car
line runs within about 80 Oyards of the
grounds, and the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railway has station just on the
western boundary.
With the improvements which 1t is
proposed to make, this will be the
ideal place for a country club. The
clubhouse VIII, of course, occupy a
commanding position on the hills, and
the golf course will be laid out along
the hillside below. Both from the pro-
posed site of the house and along the
course can be seen the rapids and
islands, which are the most picturesque
along the lower part of James River.
On the upland. which is comparative
ly level. there is ample space for n
track stables and training grounds for
the horses and hounds.
Being so far removed from the city
it will be matter OF only few min
utes ride to get hounds into good fox
hunting country.
The plan proposed has no connec-
ton with the one-now about four
years old-of consolidating the clubs
and purchasing Westbrook from the
Ginter estate. 1t is entirely a new
venture, which will probably assume
definite shape within few weeks, at
least.
The rapidty with which the city
has moved out of the present grounds
has long since shown that such move
would be necessary within few years,
and the option Just secured on the
land practically settles the question
that the best interests of both clubs
WIN soon transfer themselves to the
new location

TO DISCONTINUE
NIGHT Phone BATES
Long Distance Telephone Com.
pany Asks Chamber Of Com
merce to Back Request.

Considering the question as to
whether or not the Chamber Of Com
inerce should indorse the application OF
the Southern Bell Telephone Company
to the State Corporation Commission 10
increase its tolls on long distance night
messages making the rate for night
and day the same, the Legislative COM
mittee of the chamber met yesterday
afternoon at o'clock to hear COM
plants. If any. from the patrons con-
corning the proposed change, and the
representatives of the company as TO
why 1t should have the backing of the
chamber. After noting the facts and
figures produced by the company, the
committee DECIDED that II the telephone
company substantated the figures
shown it before the commission, 1t
should not be the policy of the chamber
to resist the petition.
In behalf of the company, Mr.. w. L.
Gentry, the president. man who
has served the company in almost
every capacity, explained that the APP
plication was not made as money
making proposition. but for the pur-
pose of increasing its capital so as to
develop the lines. AT present, he said,
the company has long-distance lines
into practically all OF the large towns
of the state, most of which radiate
from Richmond. The object now is to
put in short lines, so as to make the
service throughout the State more COM
pjlete and efficient.
All Use Chenp Rate.
He went on further to say that his
company. IN establishing the night rate
which is about one-half as great as
the day rate. had, in view the fac,
that for the best portion OF the time
The lines would be idle.
AS u result. however, on account OF
the smaller cost he declared, many pat
rons made a practice of putting their
calls for o'clock so as to avoid the
Gay charge. The consequence has been
that from this time until almost .
p'clock at night, the long dis lance lines
IRE SO congested that good service is
Impossible. This, he stated, caused not
pnly loss of money on account of the
lower rate, and the necessity OF extra
employees, but a severe loss of patron-
pge on account of delays in making
connections for those who were obliged
10 use the lines at that time. He con-
GUIDED by saying that If uniform rate
was ADOPTED the business would be
evenly distributed, and that those who
were obliged to make their calls after
6 o'clock, would get the good service
that they deserved.
Figures were then produced showing
that the net earnings OF the toll lines
amounted. under. the present plan. to
only 6-1o bSr cens.. and for all OF
the exchange and long distance lines
together, only ga per cent. without
allowing for deterioration in either
case. This the company contends is
not at all alluring 10 investors. and
that unless more money is put into
their lines the necessary developments
cannot be made.
The fact that the Southern Bel
2 Telephone Company is a large inves,
tor, a tax payer and employer, they
contended should merit the considera,
ton of It's petition by the chamber.
