At the death of a much loved pastor
some years ago the vestry of a promi-

place tablet to his memory in the

the tablet appeared in it's place, where
1t still remains. 1t has caused not a

had declined invitations to be a

IN HONOR OF AN
EMINENT SURGEON
b. q o. r. K. Formulating Plans to
Found "Trimble Lectureship."

A movement has been started to
create a suitable memorial to DR.,
Isaac Ridgeway Trimble, who was
Surgeon-in-Chief Of the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad and prominent
citizen Of Baltimore. DR.. Trimble
died recently from blood poison,
having received the infection
while performing a surgical opera
ton a short time before.
The plan is to establish a fund
by voluntary subscription and pre-
sent it to the Medical and Chirur-
gical Faculty of Maryland for the
purpose Of founding the "Trimble
LeCtureship." \ committee th
organized this movement and h..
charge Of it consists Of Mr.. Oscar
6. Murray, president of the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad; Mr.. Alex
ander Brown, Mr.. Lawrason Riggs,
Doctors l.. McLane Tiffany, Hiram
Woods, Frank Martin, w. S. Thay-
er, Charles O'Donovan, John c.
Davis and John Ruhraw. The
Committee has issued an announce
ment that tits the desire to perpet-
uate the memory Of Dr. Trimble
in this way Dr.. S. X. Barr, sup
erintendent of the Relief Depart
ment of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, has sent out circular
letter to all surgeons and medical
examiners of the company with a
copy of the committees explana-
ton of the plan and expressing be-
lief that all would contribute to
the fund and adding that no
amount will be considered too
small In his letter DR.. Barr says
that "Dr. Trimble was so we'll and
tavorably known in the B. & O.
service and had done SO much for
the men that there must be a large
number who would be glad of an
opportunity to aid in the establish
ment of the Lectureship and I am
specially anxious that the B. & O.
should make a good showing in
this work"
The plan is to have the lectures
delivered before the Chirurgical
Faculty at its annual meeting each
year or some other time to be
agreed upon. An effort will be
made to make the endowment suf-
ficient to yield a sum that will
make it possible to invite, as lee
turers, men Of distinction from all
parts Of the world. 1t is believed
that the plan purposed is the one
which would be most pleasing
DR.. Trimble if his wishes coul
made known. Messrs. Alexano..
Brown & Sons, bankers of Balti-
more, are treasurers Of the fund.

PROBE INTO MINE DISASTERS.
Bills Before Congress Providing for
Bureau Of Timing Technology.

| DiilS before congress PROVIDING for
Bureau of Timing Technology.
Among measures already intro
duced into the present Congress is
a joint resolution to provide for a
mining. Technology branch in the
Geological Survey, which would
merely continue and definitely
authorize what is already being
done by the survey, and then
there are several bills providing for
the establishment of a bureau of
mining technology under the De
partment of the Interior. The OBJ
ject of this bureau is to make tech
nologic Investigations, reports on
methods of mining and extracting
and utilization of the mineral sub
stances Of the United States and
its non-contiguous territory, with
a view toward the betterment of
the mining industry, the improve
ment of mining conditions and the
prevention of accidents and the
waste OF materials. These bills
merely change the present tech
nologic branch of the Geological
Survey into separate bureau.
Special attention has been given
recently by the ft deral government
to the causes of severe explosions
in the coal mines. The American
Mining Congress is backing the
bill introduced by Senator Hemen-
way, Of Indiana, the object of
which is TO make technologic in
vestigations and reports on the
mining, extracting and utilization
OF the mineral products substances
OF the United States and its non
contiguous territory, with view
OF the prevention of mine accidents,
lessening the waste Of materials,
the improvement of the mine con
dltlons, the betterment of the min
ing industry and the investigation
OF materials of construction, fuels
and other mining materials belong
ing to or for the use Of the govern
ment of the United States, with
view to their efficient use.
AS the Hemenway bill carries
no appropriation it is believed that
it has chance of adoption. 1t
would make the technologic branch
of the Geological Survey bureau
of mining technology with dis
tinct legal status.
The director Of the Geological
survey has submitted to Congress
estimates for the use of the tech
nologic branch for the coming year
amounting to 100000. Sixty
thousand dollars is added for the
investigation OF mine accidents
and their prevention and the i'm
provement of mine conditions to
be Immediately available.
The current number of Mine
and Minerals heartily supports a
request from the director for $50
900 for investigating methods of
| preventing waste in the mining,
extraction and utilization of ores
and mineral substances other than
fuels, saying whatever else Con
gress may or may not do this APP
preparation should certainly pass.
since the technologic branch has
already shown that there is a field
for its work in this country, and
any failure to continue work al
ready begun and looking toward
the further investigation of the
safety of mining conditions will be
considered i'll view Of the recent
disasters a Sinking of what is the

You find in the east even among
Wall Street men who do not like
Taft, curious fear of his luck.
They liken it to the wonderful
luck that attended the rise of
Grover Cleveland and more than
one astute inancier whom I met
in New York this week, men not
! generally superst1tious, remarked
that there was no use fighting the
Taft luck.
You do not find in the east any
especial interest in the factional
fight going on in Ohio, The re-
cent state convention there was
little talked about in New York
and by common consent the state
is given to Taft. While this is
disputed by Ohio men, who came
to New York, the eastern politician
shifts the air and talks about some
thing ,else-generally about the
demands of the hour for a more
conservative man in the White
House and the danger of Bry-
anism. Taft made no sensation
during his New York visit this
week, but he made a good impress
sion and in the quiet of his broth
er's home he had cheerful talks
with New York leaders who as
sured him that Taft sentiment was
growing despite the Hughes en-
deavOr for a solid delegation.
James Francis Burke, the elo-
quent young congressman from
Pittsburg, made a great hit at
"The Friends of Ireland" banquet
in New York this week. We all
know him here as a polished ora
tor and his name alone is one to
conjure with among the Sons of
Erin. Back of the Burke appear
anCe in New York is a story. A
few weeks ago he received a letter
from Colonel O'Brien, the head of
the Friends of Ireland" society,
inviting the congressman to be the
chief orator Of the St. Patrick S
day banquet. Burke was pleased,
SO pleased in fact, that he wrote
letter in his own hand, accepting
the invitation and telling when he
would arrive There was joyful
response from the O Brien pen and
Burke, despite his arduous duties
as congressman and as manager
Tor hnoX, prepared an eloquent
address, On Monday Burke APP
peared at the Waldorf. He asked
for mail. There was none and
then he waited for the grasp of
some glad Irish hand belonging to
a reception committee. None came
and Burke did not remember when
the banquet was to be held. II
met Homer Davenport and he too,
was in the dark as to where the
feast was spread. Finally they
found ont and Burke hooked up
by wire with the chief moeul of
the occasion. That gent was de-
lighted to see Burke, but declared,
You wrote you could not come
and we have not placed you on the
program"
But ] wrote that | would
come, protested Burke.
"Oh, on, here is your letter say
ing nay - A letter was flashed
on Burke, who gasped a minute
and then explained
The letter was rubber stamped,
signed and in polite language, and
related that owing to another en-
gagement, etc, etc, the invitation
had to be declined.
Burke pointed out that a blum
dering secretary was the cause of
the mistake and then was told that
he would be an honored guest Just
the same.
Burke in his talk aroused much
enthusiasm and threatened to dis
miss the secretary who had mixed
things up. This did not seem to
please the banqueters, and Burke
remarked that as St. Patrick was

WHEN MAKING PIES.

Cranberries and gooseberries should

Remember to -four well both the
board and the rolling pin when rolling

much sugar In the pie, for it may be

Do not roll the paste out too thin.

Mince pies are always made with a

using should be heated before being
eaten.
