The Livingston Church.

In regard to the church of Living
ston. erected in part by dispensary
money, Rev. e. L. Virgins writes the
Southern Christian Advocate as fol-
lows:
Dear Brother Nettles: AS you
have coupled my name with the Liv-
ingston church affair, I hasten to
write to explain my silence. First Of
all. had not seen the newspaper ar
ticles referred to. and you letter tell
Ing me Of them reached me late last
Saturday night. hastened to get
you letter Monday, but presume you
did not receive it until after the Ad-
vocate went to press. And even if I
had seen the articles could not have
authorized you to deny the state
ments they made, seeing that they
are for the most part true. Here are
the facts in the case:
There Is a church in the town Of
Livingston, completed except for the
ey donated by the town council of
Livingston, a large part Of whose in
come is derived from the dispensary.
/ had heard of the existence of this
church before I was assigned to the
work at the last conference, and upon
my arrival there began to Investigate
the situation. I found that, though
the quarterly conference had never
formally accepted the gift, yet it had
virtually done so by appointing
building committee at the second
quarterly conference last year. The
church at that time was nearly rised.
I also found that the church extern
sion board at the last annual confer
cnce had donated $40 to this church.
No other money has been collected
from the church as far as have been
able to learn. OF course. the build
ing has not been dedicated nor has
any service been held in it.
This was the condition of affairs
when I was sent to the work and
did not like their aspect and so ex-
pressed myself In all probability the
matter will come up at the next quar-
terly conference for final disposition
when the building committee will be
ready to report and turn over the
property to the church. The articles
recently published in the secular
press, however, have precipitated a
discussion Of the matter before that
time.
| The church can not accept the
property for two reasons. First, grant
| ing that the council had right TO
make the gift, she by receiving Il
| would stultify herself, pu. a muzzle
on the mouth ,f her preachers with
| reference to the whiskey traffic, add
| compromise with one Of her bitterest
foes. Second. the church, If she SO
desired could not accept the prop
erty, since the town authorities have
no right to give it; such an act being
direct violation of the State consri-
tuition.

ROOSEVELT 1000 YEARS AGO.
Strange Parallel Between the Careers
OF Caesar and Teddy.

OF Caesar and Teddy.
Prof Fererro, of Italy, who has Of
late broken score Of historical idols,
is ably seconded by Henry NJ. Hyde,
who, in a most interesting article in
the Red Book Magazine for February,
puts forh an historical analogy that
is downright startling. Assisted by a
Hindoo adpet Mr.Hyde glances back
over the dead days and discovers that
Caesar, Tiberius Gracious and King
Midas are Roosevelt, Bryan and
Rockefeller. The parallel between the
careers of Caesar and Roosevelt,
year by year and age for age, is little
less than amazing. Certain exploits
of the Emperor at different years in
his life have been strangely duplicat-
ed by Roosevelt even down to the
minutae of quarrels with the senate,
No less striking is the parallel be-
tween Tiberius Gracious and Mr.
Bryan. After reading the article one
is inclined to wonder il, after all,
there may be more reason than poesy
in the doctrine of reincarnation.

"SNOWDRIFT' USED ON TAFT
POSSUM.
Famous Dish Served to the Presi-
dent Eject Made Great Hit.

The secret of the sweetness to the
Taft possum Is out. 1t was braised
with nowdrift"-"Hogless Lard"
From one end Of the country to the
other there has been written the story
OF the famous banquet given to Presi-
dent-elect william II. Taft, In Allan
La. Ca, on January Is, when the
piece de resistance of a sumptuous
menu was "Possum and 'Taters"
served with persimmon beer. That
IL wac enjoyed every correspondent
attending the dinner wired his paper
before the taste had left his mouth
and the President-elect gave express
sion to his pleasure at the juicy dish
prepared for him by making even
broader the famous Taft smile, after
he had partaken heartily OF this
Enthusiastically Southern dish. This
much Is known to all; but the secret
of the sweetness has just been learn
ed from Caterer Chas. A. Merritt,
formerly at Harvey's restaurant In
Washington. and manager of the
Tivoh Hotel (Govt.) Ancon. Panama.
who superintended and served the
Taft dinner. preparing with his own
hands the 'possum that was served
the guest. 1t was "Snowdrift." the
purest shortening in the world. made
from cotton seed oil and free from
any and all odors. Chemists have
pronounced 1t the richest and most
digestible oil In the, w9rld: epicures
have pronounced 1t delicious. and
chefs have pronounced 1t perfect. 1t
was the rare blending Of the delic-
ious taste of 'possum meat combined
with the palatable sweetness of the
cotton seed oil which made the dish
perfect. Il used 'Snowdrift,'" said
Caterer Merritt In talking of the
successful dish. which has become ma
tional now. and which bids fair to
have the Taft 'possum supplant the
Teddy Bear in the affections of Young
America, because / was anxious to
get the meat favored with a delicious
vegetable oil instead of that of an
other animal. The 'possum is natu-
rally fat. and another animal oil
would not go we'll with 1t, but in
'Snowdrift' you have a vegetable oil
that serves the purpose and makes
one Of the most delightful dishes
imaginable"
Caterer Merritt Is one of the most
famous stewards in the South and is
a firm believer In the uses to which
cotton seed oil has been put. The
refined cotton seed oil Is rated by
him as possibly the best salad oil on
the market. and his use of Snowdrift
speaks volumes of the Nuse of that
product for Observation-Disclosures

Millions and Malaria.

A little pamphlet issued by the I'M
perial Department of Agriculture TO,
the West Indies introduces a new ex-
terminator of Culex, Stegomyia and
| Anopheles to public favor-a Jealous
and active coadjutor of kerosene.
Millions-the name speaks for it.
self-is fish measuring an inch and
half in length, the female dull in
| color and the male marked with ir-
regular red splashes and round
black spot in each side, that inhabits
fresh water streams and rills. a
strong swimmer against the current
and thriving in shadows. They multi
ply prodigiously and feed to glutton-
Gus repletion on larvae and pupae.
The proficiency of millions in eating
water surface clean OF mosquito
growth is almost increditable. Ex-
perinlents prove that these tiny fish,
which are hardy and stand transpor-
tation well, may be relied upon to Go
| the work Of the kerosene can at less
cost in the long run.
We are aware that millions have
competitors in the sunfish, which eat
the mature mosquito alive; in the kill
lies, salt water fish; in the familiar
top ninnow; and in the blue eye,
which the italian government has i'm
ported from Australia to combat ma
laria by consuming the larvae of An
ophless. But millions come so we'll
recommended that we are almost dis
posed, on the evidence of the Impe-
rial Department Of Agriculture to re-
cognize them as the champions Into
many Of the West Indian Islands they
have been introduced by request and
are doing yeoman work. Millions are
viviparous-that is to say, to quote
from the pamphlet referred to,
they bring forth living young" so
that no time is lost in closing with
their natural enemies and assimilau-
ing the favorite tidbit.
1t must be understood that millions
coulc not take the contract to rid
Long Island and New Jersey altogeth-
er of mosquitoes-we have been given
to understand by old residents that
owing to ditching, draining and kero-
senirg in Staten Island by DR.. Alvah
lDoty the mosquito is as extinct there
as the Great Auk-but in shallow
fresh waters, streams, brooks or rills,
in any standing water affording a
home to millions they can do remark
able execution. They are not salt
water wardens
In Barbados, where these fish
abound, malaria is said to be un-
known, and the explanation given
is that the natural breeding places of
dread Anopheles are the habitat of
millions. Antigua, st. Kits and Ne
Wis nave been stocking their ponds
and streams with millions for three
years; Jamaica began the work in
1906 (and already reports a decrease
Of m malaria), and st. Vincent, st. Lucia
and British Guiana welcomed the
exteriminators last year. AS Culex
and Stegomyia breed in any recep-
tacle about house, even in discar-
ded lin, millions can not AXE the job
Of disposing Of them; but if millions
is really so adept to spelling the oc-
cupations of Anopheles, malaria can
get r,o footing where he swims the un-
salted streams and plies his task in
still waters.-New York Sun.
