Big Rally at the Second
Avenue Christian
Church.
INTERESTING PROGRAM
Memorial Exercises In Honor
of the Late Rev. E. M.
Gordon.

ond Avenue Christian church last
Sunday was a service of great inter-
est and profit to those who attended
it. The weather was delightful and
an hour before the time appointed
for the opening of the doors the peo-
pie began to assemble. The audience
occupied every part of the large au-
ditorium. During more than two
hours perfect attention was given to
the exercises, which were in the in
terest of foreign missions. 1t is
hoped that great offering will be
madenext Sunday to the cause. That
of the corresponding date last year
aggregated $446.
In the course of the service a few
minutes were devoted to a memorial
exercise in honor of Rev. E. M. Cor
don who died at the parsonage of
the parsonage of the Second Avenue
church last June and James A.
Young, Jr., who was for several
years local Secretary of Missions.
During this period mention was
made of other deceased workers
with this church in the cause mis-
sions. 1t was noted also with deer
regret that Daniel j. Young, who
succeeded his brother as secretary
was about to leave for California
where he will reside. Mr.. Young il
was stated had been an invaluable
officer.

IN THE DISTRICT COURT.
Case of Jesse S. ThOrnham Called
No Jury Secured Yet.

The case of Jesse S. Thornham,
charged with the murder of S. P.
Wreford, was called in the district
court this morning. Both the state
and the defense announced themselves
as ready to go to trial, and the work
of securing a jury was begun. A
special venire of 200 had been sum-
moned, but only 125 appeared. About
~ o. these had legal excuses and
were excused. and out OF the remain
ing ninety talesmen, 80 failed to
qualify, the greater number declaring
that they had already formed an op-
iniOn in the case. Three were chal-
lenged by the state and three by the
defense, only two jurors being Sc
cured out of the venire. These were
J. c. Bennett of Olmito and Thos. R
Tumlinson of Brownsville. A special
venire of 400 to appear Wednesday
morning was ordered summoned. and
a recess was taken until Wednesday.
The defense in this case is repre-
sented by Judge James B. Wells and
Judge Noah Allen, the prosecution
conducted by District Attorney J. |.

MAKES DECIDED
IMPROVEMENTS
Concrete Sidewalk Building Marks
New Era in Brownsville Be
velopment

] There are few matters of graeter
! Importance IN the promotion of civic
progress than that of sidewalks. In
this respect, Brownsville has been de-
cidedly backward, as there are very
few sidewalks in the town on which
one may walk with comfort. It is
therefore most gratifying to be able
to report that very marked i'm
provement in this respect seems to be
fairly launched for our little city now
which will doubtless result before
very long in Brownsville's being pro
vided with fine concrete sidewalks, at
least covering the main business dis
trict of the town.
To George NJ. Putegnat. the well
known proprietor Of the Putegnat
drugstore, 10 due the credit for hay-
ing Set the ball rolling in the side
walk building move. Work is already
well underway on a concrete pave
ment in front of the Putegnat build
ing, which by the way, is one of the
finest and handsomest of the newer
business houses on Elizabeth street.
Following Mr.. Putegnat's good exam
pie, the owners of the Celaya build
ing, adajoining the drugstore, in
which the Rutledge Jewelry store
and Merchants National Bank are
located, will build.
1t is understood that other concrete
walks will be built on Elizabeth
street in the near future, and other
business houses in the heart of town
will likewise make such an improve
ment
The Celaya building, in addition to
the new sidewalk, will also be i'm
proved by the antiquated wooden
awnings which now cover the front
and side of the building being torn
down and replaced with new and
handsome ones of steel.

HOW TO BUY HAM.

Experience has taught the ham
lover that a cheap ham is not an econ
omy and lean ham is never selected
by the one who is familiar with first
class slice. Ham is thin for two rea-
sons. First, because the hog was not
in prime condition to assimilate its
food, or second, because it did not get
sufficient food for its proper nourish-
ment. A fat ham is sweet, whole
some and juicy always, if properly
cured. Pale pink hams have been
too long in pickle, held there for spec
ulative purposes. Select your boiling
ham with due regard to rich color
as we'll as chunkiness. The very best
are butchered with a short butt end
and a short shank, while the fat is
beveled back, affording the least pos
sible waste.
The finest bacon is squared off we'll
at both ends so that the consumer has
no waste to begin with, and the last
or flank end is devoid of the skin, fat
and bone finish. When purchasing
either ham or bacon it pays to select
a first class quality in the whole piece
and use as required for breakfast,
lunch, supper or dinner. With the
ham, one of eight or ten or even
twelve pounds is still enjoying its first
youth and so will be tender. The
thick end may be used for boiled
dinner, after which, from time to time,
slice after slice may be utilized until
only the shank remains for another
boiled dinner. Again a young ham
may be boiled entire, cooled in the
water and kept cool to be sliced as
required. Old-fashioned people pre-
fer the home boiled ham with the
bone intact, but the modern house.
keeper insists upon boneless, cold
boiled sliced by her butcherman, quite
overlooking the fact that the gener-
Gus size of his cold boiled ham argues
a 80 to ~ pound joint of hog at least
two years or more of age. Surely we
have all heard of the sweetness which
turks in the ham bone.

CUSTOM OF PIONEER TIMES.

After four pinch boards had been
taken off an oak log at James Webb's
sawmill in Greenfield, Ind, walnut
peg an inch in diameter, was found,
where it had been driven into the log.
The peg was foot long and reached
to the heart of the big log, where, it
is estimated, it had been driven sew
enty.five years ago. At the end of
the peg was a coil of black hair, long
and silken.
Mr.. Webb endeavored to learn the
history of the log, but to no avail.
Old people of the neighborhood are of
opinion that the coil of hair was
placed there in accordance with
prevalent custom of pioneer times.
This custom provided that when
man and wife could not get along or
agree, instead of separating, as in
these days, the neighbors got lock
of hair from the head of each. A
hole was then bored in thrifty tree
and the locks of hair were driven to
the heart by walnut pin. After
this it was believed the couple could
live happily.

other mans burden.

Late experience has shown that the color
blind may be taught to name ordinary colors
correctly, although they may not see colors as
others do. A conductor on the Southern Rail-
way was discharged for color-blindness, when
he began to study colored woolens and paints,
and in five weeks passed rigid color examina-
ton without a mistake. DR.. Brawley has over
come the disadvantages of color-blindness in
other persons by like course of color study.

An astonishing variation in the efficiency of
files has been shown by new testing machine.
Five files were worn out in almost exactly the
same number of strokes-about 11OOOO,-but the
amounts worn away were respectively IA, lis,
Is, 235 and 1873 cubic inches. The variations are
more marked on cast-iron than on steel. Vari
GUS factors determine the cutting efficiency, but
with differences so great the use of a poor file
may change profitable piece of machine work
into losing one. There is evidently room for
progress in the scientific making of the old and
familiar file, as well as in their grading.
