prepared to receive the molten sulphur
In due time the natural temperature of
the earth's surface would, Frasch in
sisted, cause the sulphur to cool so
thoroughly as to make it an easy mat
ter to handle it.
Many We're the capitalists who were
appealed to to make experiment with
Mr.. Frascfl's method. Nearly all Of
them looked upon 1t as impracticabie.
Nor could the most tempting PROPOSE
ton which set forth the comparative
cheapness of this process and the very
great profit which it would make pos
sible persuade the men of capital.
Mr.. Twombley however, who, in adj
dition to his standing a man of
finance, was also a student of science,
was disposed to listen to the PROPOSE
ton. He felt that he could afford to
invest the amount of money asked of
him-a small fortune for most men, but
for him comparatively trivial. 1t was
his investment and the courage which
his own faith in the proposition in
spired in a few other capitalists which
led to the adoption of this method.
Now it is reported that III all our his
tory there is no case yet recorded of
comparatively simple mechanical and
scientific device whose purpose was the
development of great natural resource
which has produced the revolutionary
effect which this devise of Mr.. Frasch
has done. Within the past six years 1t
has revolutionized the sulphur trade Of
the world. The report from Washing
ton today shows that it has made the
United States Independent, with the
strong expectation thai we shall con-
tinue, Independent. since it is the pre-
SUMPTION that the sulphur deposits Of
Louisiana and Of other parts of the
south are practically inexhaustible.
Furthermore, this revolution has
brought about a greatly-increased util-
ization of sulphur il the industries and
agriculture of the United States. Some
of the men of science are now persuad-
ed that some day the United States will
secure from domestic supply all the
potash we need. HOLLAND.

Both Sides Dissatisfied With Verdict
in Second Trial.
Kinsley, KAN, May 1S.-The May
term of the district court adjourned
here to be convened for an adjourned
term in June. The last two days were
occupied with the trial of the damage
case of John Edwards, a farmer living
north of here, against the Santa Fe
railroad company for $4,000 over an
accident which occurred June gath,
1903, at the main crossing at Colony
avenue and Main street, this city. Mr..
Edwards lost team of mules and
wagon and was himself manned for
life, his right arm now being paralyz-
ed. The first trial of the case took
place shortly after the accident hap
pened in 1909 and resulted in YER
dict for Edwards of $1,000. The case
was appealed to the supreme court
by the Santa Fe and remanded back
to the Edwards county district court
for retrial. The trial just closed re-
suited in a verdict for Edwards of
$500. Senator r. Dumont Smith of
Hutchinson and A. G. Dyer of this
place represented the Santa Fe and
Broadie & Haun of this city repre-
scented Edwards. 1t is understood that
both sides are willing to appeal the
case again, Edwards because he is dis
satisfied with the amount granted and
the Santa Fe because it claims the
electric bell at the crossing was ring
ing and that the train, which struck
Edwards, whiStled in ample time for
him to avoid the collision.

ALL FAITH PARISH PICNIC

in honor Of the new Rector Rev.
D. Wellington Curran. and Of his
wife. tho congregation Of All Faith
Parish s. Mays County, held a
very enjoyable pic mic on the Patux-
ent, Wednesday, the l4th, inst.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. w. Mattingley
generously extended the hospitality
Of Trent Hall to the 100 or more
people who assembled from far and
near.
The weather was prnpirious and
improved as the hours rolled on.
Soup was prepared for those who
desired grabbing on the wharf,
while others found pleasure in boat
ing and swimming, and others pre-
ferred the society OF the ladies in
the cool shade.
About noon, a delicious repast OF
varied delicacies was spread on the
green grass and was served by fair
hands, after which the Rector an
nounced that there would be q match
game OF base ball between the fat
and the lean men. This afforded
great amusement, developing
many supariors as to the physical
powers Of some, who were supposed
to be subjects for Oslerism. " The
fat men won glorious victory by a
score OF 20 to 10 and later on, gen.
erously treated their adversaries 10
an oyster scald on the shore. II is
to be hoped that tho avoirdupois and
general condition OF the lean mon
were materially improved by the five
bushels of oysters which were con.
sumed with evident appreciation.
All Faith Parish was created by
act OF the assembly in 1862, and is
said TO be one OF the best country
parishes in Maryland. The present
church building was erected in 1774
and is in an excellent state OF pre-.
servation.
The Pensioners are greatly
pleased with their new Rector and
his wife. Both are honest and en-.
thusiastic workers for the church
and possess those gracious social
qualities which attract and endear
them to all with whom they come
in contact.
