Clarence Bishop Smith. chairman Of
the committee on Board of Aldermen of

Kenneally last night saving in part:
The code ought to be open 10 public in
speCtiOn for a reasonable time before any
action is taken upon IT,. SO that there may
be an opportunity for the expression or
public opinion
II is stated that amendments have been
made in the building code which will be

its final form are available. and all consid-
GRAFTON by the people is therefore impos-
sible The code will contain more than two

We wish TO urge upon YOU most strongly
the gross inlprOpriety OF taking any acton
on this matter at the present time. The
attempt 10 pass the code with this un-
seemly haste can only discredit those re-

ESSEN'S BAKERY.
Said to Be the Largest Breadntaking
Concern In the World.

Said to Be the Largest Breadr,aking
Concern In the World.
The largest bakery in the wo' d is
located in Essen, Prussia, the home of
the great Krupp gun factory. 1t is a
vast building, in which seventy work
men, divided into two shifts, work
night and day. Everything is done by
machinery, says the London Post. A
screw turns increasingly a kneading
trough, into which are poured some
water and ten sacks Of -four of 200
pounds each.
This machine makes about 10000
pounds of bread each day in the shape
of 25,000 small loaves and $4,000 large
lo4ves, produced by $50 sacks of -four
of 200 pounds each. All the operations
Of breadmaking are performed in this
colossal bakery. The wheat arrives
there, is cleaned, ground and brought
automatically TO the kneading trough
by a series of rising and descending
pipes.
There are thirty-siX double ovens,
and the worllmen who watch over the
baking of the bread earn from to
10 cents an hour, making an average
of 80 cents day for eleven hours
on duty. They have coffee and bread
free; also the use of bathroom, for
they are required TO keep themselves
spotlessly clean and must wash their
hands eight times a day.

HISTORIC LOVING CUP.
Owned In Turn by Goldsmith, Garrick,
Dr.. johnson and Burke.


The famous literary society of Lon

tional connection with Wits coffee
house and the Mermaid tavern of ear
ly days. The reader Of Mr.. Wuson's
volume of history and unecdote Ielat-
ing to the club will come across in its
pages incidental mention of things that
recall names that are famous in our
literature. How rich in associations Il
simple drinking cup may become is
shown by the folluwmgA
In 1902 there was drought to the
club most remarkable relic Of which
the lord mayor of London had recently
obtained possession. This was a low
ing cup holding pint or little more
which, as certain inscriptions testified,
was at one time the property of Oliver
Goldsmith. On Goldsmith's death it
passed into the hands of David Gar
rick and thence to the possession of
one of the literary and artistic clubs
of the day.
Then after an interval it passed into
DR.. Johnson's hands, for one Of the in-
scriptions engraved on its silver rim
records that it was presented to Burke
by his friend Samuel Johnson, doctor
of letters, as memento of Johnson's
visit to Bcaconsfeld, which was
Burke's home. The date of the pres
entation was 1873, five years after the
death of Goldsmith and FIVE before the
death of Johnson.
