TO BUILD IMMENSE OVENS.
Breadmakins in Stamford by seien-
 life Process.

Ground has been broken this week. says the Stamford Bulletin, for the construction of a bakeshop which in it's general character and detail will be far and away in advance of anything of the kind existing in the city. Bay ard L. Marsh has planned for the in stallation of a couple of ovens and con- tributive appliances that will make the production of breadstuffs scientific process.
 On the lot, which has an area of forty five feet front by two hundred feet depth, building fifty feet by thirty three is to go up. The metal and ma sorry making up each oven will weigh seventy-six tons, requiring an excep- tionally heavy foundation for their support. This mass of oven material has the effect of retaining the great body of heat and steam which is an important factor in the baking process. The ovens will be fired from the rear, thus eliminating the dust which would otherwise arise. Where the dough is introduced andGhe baked produces re- moved there will simply be an aperture with setting of glazed bricks on all sides and nothing else.
 Machinery equipment of the latest modern type is to be connected with the great ovens in order to insure ef- fective handling of what Is being baked in the most sanitary way and, as far as possible, without the touch of the hands. Contiguous to the bakery build ing will be stock room, shipping room and office. The motive power for the machinery will be electricity.
 MT. Marsh came to Stamford to en- gage in the bakery business a year ago from New York.

MRS. ,BROKAW'S TESTIMONY ENDED
Further Interesting Ventilation of Family Difficulties Leading Up the Suit for Separation and Big Alimony

"Wasn't MT. Brokaw's room con- nected with yours?" he asked.
 "No, the door from Mir. Brokaw's room opened on the hall"

 Now when Mr. Wells descended from the train, was he carrying a handbag or anything that might have contained the night apparel of Miss Dennison and himself?'
 "I believe he was carrying a bag"
 What night garments did you mo- tice Miss Dennison had?"
 T don't know. I think she had lit- tie with her"
 Didn't you say the only bag be- tween them was the one carried by MT. Wells?''
 q am not sure that Miss Dennison did not have a small bag"
 Do you recall that MT. Wells name was not mentioned when the servants were in the room?'' asked MT. McIn- tyre.
 T don't remember anything of the kind" was the answer.
 Didn't you give your servants in- structions to call him by some other name?"
 q did not; it is falsehood."
 "If Henry Taylor. the butler, should say he was instructed not to call the visitor Mir. Wells, would that change your testimony?''
 q wouldn't believe Taylor if he said that"
 Mrs. Brokaw Excused from Stand.
 Mrs. Brokaw was excused from the stand after five days of testimony. Her counsel intimated that he would soon produce nurses, maids and other wit nesses to corroborate Mrs. Brokaw's s stories of broken doors and uproari- ous nights.

CONGRESSMAN GARDNER
 NOT TO PUSH INSURGENCY.
Massachusetts. Representative Aban-
 dons Fight for Crushing Uncle Joe
 Just Now.

Washington, Dec. 14.-Representative Gardner of Massachusetts in an inter- view today practically abandoned any further effort during this congress for char ge in the rules or speakership. T cannot speak as to the insurgent programme" he said, for was not at the meeting on Saturday night I am perfectly clear, however, as to my own programme. whether it fits in with the insurgents or the so-called regu- lars. I believe that in the next con- gress there should be a change in the rules of the house or change in the speakership; perhaps in both.
 '1n my opinion it would be unwise for us to fritter away our strength in premature skirmishes which might look to the public as exhibitions of resentment. When this congress was organized in March last we were out voted. That is all there is to 1t. The fact that my paws are sore Is not suffi- cient reason for licking them in pulp lie"

A Pipe That Smokes Itself.

After filling a decanter about two- thirds full of water close it by means of a cork provided with two aper- lures. Through one of these pass a short pipestem and through the other a longer stem that enters the liquid. To the smaller tube fix a cork provided with two apertures. The ap
 ertures may be easily formed by means of a red-hot poker. The lat eral aperture serves to fix the pipe. Finally with the other cork and a bent tube form a siphon. After the latter has been primed and is once in ope- ration it will tend to empty the de- canter, and the vacuum formed will be immediately filled by the external air flowing in through the pipe. It is then only necessary to light the latter in order to see it smoke itself tram quilly as long as any water remains in the decanter. This experiment is a very interesting and may easily be performed.-Scientific American.

New York, Dec. 14.-In the further ventilation of the domestic difficulties of MT. and Mrs. w. Gould Brokaw, it was brought out today that, al- though Mrs. Brokaw is now suing at Mineola, L. T., for separation with ali- mony of $6O,0O0 a year. it was her husband who first threatened to sue. A telegram from him to Mrs. Blair, his mother-in-law, was the medium of this information, and it also contained his version of the incident that as- stunned the greatest importance in to- days session of the trial. The tele- gram ran as follows:
 Husband Threatens to Sue.
 q have closed my house. and am sorry to say I must sue Mary for, a separation. Her act eliminating in a house party last Sunday night forced me to this step. She entertained three ladies and three men that day. Two of the ladies I do not approve of and the third I don't know at all. l do not know the men. She allowed one man to occupy my bedroom over night after putting my nurse and one lady in bachelors quarters. She refused to give me theS names of the men in spite of my request"
 Where Guests Slept at the "culminat-
 ing House Party"
 John F. Mcintyre, MT. Brokaw's law yer, began drilling into all the at- tendant circumstances of this "culmi- hating house party with great cl cumstantiality. Mrs. Brokaw parried his questions as skilfully as ever, but showed some agitation over the in- sistence laid on the personality of "Bunnie" Wells, one of the guests.
 Mrs. Brokaw testified that she had first met MT Wells on the Baltimore five years before his visit to her hus- bands house, in company with Miss Nan Dennison of Syracuse, N. T., Mrs Frank Gould and another man whom Mrs. Brokaw only remembered as "a MT. Thompson"
 Mr. Mcintyre was desiFous to know how the upstairs rooms of the house were arranged and what room she oc- cupied on the night of the party.

THE NAVY EMBARRASSED.
Standard Oil Put on the "We Don't
 Patronze" List.

Washington, Dec. 14.-By putting the Standard Oil company on the We don't patronize" list Secretary. Dickin- son of the war department has embar- rassed the navy department. The lat ter brides itself on being conducted on an equally high moral plane with the war department but in this matter of freeing itself entirely from any sug- gestion of '.trust'' entanglement it has encountered some difficulty.
 The use of oil is becoming more gen eral in the navy and 1t is essential that a uniform quality be secured wherever purchased. This is not easy unless buying is done from some large corporation with branches in various ports of the world.
 Secretary Meyer will investigate the subject of oil purchasing. particularly inquiring into existing contracts of the department.

We fail 10 understand conditions IN
West Virginia, as they have reference
n the case of Attorney-Generai-eiec'

one of her courts, charged with as
sault and that assault the outcome
Of the d-n lie given in open court
We are told that excitement runs high
IN and about WEIGH, where the trou-
HE originated, that threats are beng
made against Judge Williams that
NEGROES are to serve on the trial, etc.
And all this because a gallant gentle
man resented an irritating insult. II
these things be so, then do we rejoice
that the rough hand Of war severed
the ties that bound West Virginia to
Virginia proper, for surely her peo-
ole are not our people. BY virtue Of
an agreement between the States, II
would seem that Governor Swanson Is
vnder obligation TO honor a requlsitior
for the return Of Judge Williams, but
we do not admit that this means thai
citizen of Virginia is to be delivered
into the hands of a bowling mob, OF
TO the tender keeping Of the passions
and preiudices Of jury Of negroes
Judge Williams is man OF rea
courage and is ready to face his &C
cusers and a fair trial, but this doesn
mean that he is reckless enough alon'
to fight a gang inflamed by unreason
ing hate. and led by the quasi endor
sement of the constituted authorize
of an independent State, Independent

"Dem0crats a, Republicans alike

Senator Aldrich finds his own leader

Senators from the West. Republican
