An OverWorked Word.

In the cable dispatches from England
concerning the strike frequent reference
Is made to the street crowds, which are
invariably called the mob. The persons
who gather in the streets never consti-
tute, in the dispatches, crowd or throng
or multitude or assemblege, but always a
mob.
The word itself has not very ancient
history in English According to the die
tionaries it is an abbreviation of mobile,
in the Latin phrase mobile vulgus, mean
ing tickle, inconstant crowd, and was
first used in England about 1000, not in
any necessarily bad or unpleasant sense.
Words, however, sometimes degenerate
in meening, and mob has come to denote
a rabble, riotous, lawless crowd com
posed of hooligans, hoodlums, roughs,
reckless ard irresponsible. That is the
mental picture which the word calls forth.
Fortunately, it does not correspond with
the facts in the present British labor trou-
bles. Comparatively few cases of actual
riotng and destruction of property have
been reported in the dispatches written
by those who see in every gathering of
workingmen and their sympathizers a
mob. -B0Sk0n Globe.

Decide to Garry Out Park Pro-
y ject.

The notorious Five-and-a- Half street
will be purchased by the Civic Club and
conveyed to the city to use as a public
park.
A meeting of the Civic Club was held
at Kemp Hall Tuesday night, the 27nd
inst. Mrs. S. Lewis Motter, the Presi-
dent, was in the chair, and Miss Lillian
Motter acted as secretary pro tenn. After
the transaction of routine business and
the payment of some current bills the
plans of the club concerning Flve-and-a-
Halt were considered.
1t was found that the prices asked the
agents of the club for properties
which it was purposed to buy were en-
tirely out of reason, and unless the de-
mands were lowered the purchase OF the
property would be impossible. The
terms of contract with the City Corpo-
ration were then read, in which the
city agreed to acquire the property by
condemnation. The club does not de-
sire to condemn the property if it can
be obtained otherwise but condemna-
ton proceedings will he resorted to if
the owners continue to make exorbitant
demands A motion made by Miss
Casey that the club acquire the property
was unanimously adopted.

Peace and Petty Politics.

The Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations has decided, in the interest OF
peanut politics, and the dignity of the
Senate to remove the spine from the
proposed general arbitration treaties with
Great Britain and France.
Secretary Knox sends word to the
President, at Beverly, to tell him that
the committee has struck from the treat.
les the paragraphs that make it binding
upon the parties concerned, the decisions
at the high Joint commissions for which
the treaties provide. International agree
mentS, which promise to inaugurate a
new era of universal history, are reduced
to tangle of good intentions and inter-
national red tape. For the whole point
OF these unexampled concordats is that
they have been planned to bring the ma
tons into the presence Of moral trib-
unal, whose judgment they were bound
to respect.
The President will have the backing of
the whole country in his fight to cancel
this paltry and preposterous action of
the Senate Committee and to maintain
the original vigor of the treaties.
The issue is one of tremendous inn
portance. The American people have
stood before the world as the worlds
chief champions of international justice,
and they will not easily submit to the
humiliation of permitting the greatest
OF all modern enterprises of peace to be
cut to the measure of parliamentary pc
dantS or to be tossed to the bargain
counter of partisan trade-MeV York

Chen per Cuts of Meat.

Butchers should endeavor to correct
the impression of customers that only the
high-priced meats are valuable as food.
On the contrary, says the National Pro-
ViSi0net. the cheaper cuts are often more
highly favored and fully as nutritious.
The chuck is one OF the cheapest por-
tons of the beef, but when cooked
slowly in small amount of water either
with or without vegetables for seasoning
is most excellent dish
In stewing meat if too high tempera-
ture is used it will tougher the fibre.
Another mistake is to overlook the meat
until it falls to shreds. The skirt steak
sells for two or three cents a pound less
than the others, but If properly cooked is
Just as good Lay the steak, on meat
board and score il with chopping knife.
Then dredge with flour and put il into a
smoking hot frying pan that has been
creased enough to keep the meat from
sticking TO it. When well scared on both
sides pour over it little boiling water and
allow il TO simmer slowly for two hours.
Season 70 suit the taste. A bit OF carrot
or onion or bay leaf and little vinegar to
soften the fibre will add to the flavor OF
the meat
All light meats are best stewed and
Drowned Just before serving. Mutton or
beef is best Drowned first and then
steWed Cheaper cuts are best cooked in
the hreless cooker. When roasting meat
it should be quickly scared over to retain
the juices and then cooked slowly until
done. Usually IS minutes to the pound
is required.

Make First Payment.

For the first time since the Savings
Bank OF Brunswick went into the hands
OF receivers, the depositors are receiving
part of their money. For sometime past
Receiver John S. Newman of Frederick
has been busy making out the checks
which numbered between eight hundred
and nine hundred. The work was com
pleted Tuesday and the checks were sent
to the other receiver, Milard F. Shafer
at Brunswick, who is busy paying off the
claims.
According to the audit which was filed
during July, there were SI4 claims against
the bank, representing an aggregate
amount of S2I7, 7oo.4I. The assets in
hand after deducting the expenses
amounted to $50, 600 which will be divided
among the depositors at the rate Of S3H
cents on the dollar. AS soon as add
tional notes are collected, another pay
ment will be made but the receivers do
not expect that this will be done soon.
Receiver Newman still SAYS that con-
sentative estimate of the amount which
will finally be paid is so cents on the dol
lar. If things go right, the bank should
ultimately pay more.
The people Of Brunswick who had
money in the bank are delighted over the
prospects of receiving some of their
money. When the bank went into the
hands of receivers last fall, many of the
Brunswick people had all their money in
the bank and some of them had a hard
time during the winter as they were with
out means.

Water Rates to be Revised.

Water rates for the various factories
/ ana large consumers IN the city will soon
De gwen thorough revision upward.
FOR same time past it has been felt that
many OF the rates which the large con-
sumerS are enjoying are not only too
low, but also unjust to the other con-
sumers, and at the meeting of the Board
OF Aldermen held recently, the matter
was gone into to some extent, and
hnally it was decided that the Mavor
should call meeting in the near future
at which the matter will be taken ND
thoroughly and some satisfactory con-
'cluslon arrived at
1t is the intention to have the new
rates to go into effect October Ist. In
a number of cases the rates have been
unchanged for years and during that
.line the quantity OF water which is used
mas increased largely Numerous cases
OF inequalities are seen on the books
In one case one of the large factories
which uses very large quantity of
water, pays less than neighboring fac
tory which uses lesser amount. Water
Kent Collector Biser had list of the
largest consumers and the rates which
they pay.
rom tne sentiments OF the members
OF the Board, these rates will be largely
increased in the near future. In this re-
vision the rates for house connections
Will not be touched. One reason for
this revision is the fact that the amount
OF rents which accrue to the city are
not comparable to the income which the
investment in the water works should
bring. Then a sinking fund has to be
provided with which to reduce the water
bonds when they become due. The
board is very favorable to a revision.
Edwin Freed was again awarded the
contract for hauling away the garbage
OF the city. His bid was for S., 500.
There was only one Other bidder. Chas.
II. Fraley, who bid $4,000. Each of

fed check for $25.

Mack Loses Hope in Lefty.

Manager Mack, of the worlds cham
pions. has given up hope Of getting any
work out of Russell, and it is probable
that the costly south paw will be turned
adrift without chance to pitch another
championship game for the Athletics.
Manager Mack attributes RusselIs
trouble to bad arm. He SAYS that
when he saw Russell pitch in the Eastern
League he had more than any lefthander
since Waddell. but that last fall in the
sole contest that he pitched for the Ath-
letics against Boston he displayed moth
ing like the form that led Manager Mack
to spend $4,000 in PLAYERS and cash
for him.
THE truth is" says Manager Mack,
"Russell's arm has gone back on HIM.
and do not think that it will be of any
use to him. 1t was in bad shape and
he completed its ruin in the south.
Our hopes Of southpaw TO keep Plank
company must rest with Danforth.

Gain Larger Than Expected.

According to the official figures which
the intermediate assessors have turned IN
to the CITY officials, the net result OF the
assessment was f2o7, o3o divided into real
estate, S1SS. 900, personal property $IS,446.
II is not possible to give the total taxable
basis of the city as vet as the books have
not been made up yet. Last years
books have to be gone over and all prop
erty which has changed has to be cor
rected. For this reason the taxable basis
for the coming year cannot be arrived at
simply by adding the intermediate ASSESS
ment TO the last taxable basis.
The city officials are very pleased over
the increase in the property but 1t IS
thought that some of it will be taken on
ofthe books when the Aldermen meet to
hear any complaints over the assessment.

Professor Fernald is not gas engine

Soil Conservation.

In the last decade covered by the

to what in the United States produced
1875 bushels in year Austria in the
same period produced II bushels per
acre. France, 1913, Germany. 276, and
the United Kingdom, ;322. In the same
decade our average yield of oats was less
than 80 bushels per acre. while Great
Britain's was AZ and Germanys, 46. For
barley the figures are rs bushels per
acre, as compared with IS for Germany
and $40 for Great Britain.
Comparisons singularly unfavorabe
to our agricultural progress might be
presented at wearisome length. Nearly
all show that our boosted soil is giving
poorer results than the hardworked farm
lands of European countries. 1t is not

have neglected the conservation of our
