EGG ROLLING
BY METHODISTS

About seventy-five children of the
day school, accompanied by a few
children of a generation ago, gather
ed at the home of Richard Trent, on
Alewa Heights, last Saturday after
noon to hunt the festive and elusive
Easter eggs that superintendent Trent
and his family, assisted by his good
neighbors, had concealed about the
premises.
The eggs were hidden in the yard
among the semi-tropical plants, in the
grass and under the shelving lava
bOulders which dot the extensive
lawns at Mr. Trent's beautiful home
After the children had enjoyed the
many games that had been arranged
for them, they were turned loose to
find the eggs, the prize egg being
found by Master Jack Knobb
The eggs we're of all colors, some
being hand-painted with appropriate
Easter designs, by the ladies Of the
Methodist Sunday school.
There were eggs enough for all and
after the search was over the chill
dren amused themselves by rolling
them on the lawn.
Parson Smith disported himself in
game of croqueJ and was ably
coached through two wickets by Rev.
Mr.. Wadman.

firemen are only required to work five
days on shift, with the usual twenty
four hours off duty. With the addition
of five men on the local force, shorter
working hours could be allowed, and
the Fire Department would then be
brought up to a higher state of eff
cheney.
A pension scheme for the City Fire
Department, similar to that proposed
for the Police Department, could well
be considered.

The expenditures, including salar-
les, were, as follows:

ing the prisoners being the same for
1911 as for 1910.
Cost Of Feeding Prisoners.
In comparing the cost of feeding the
prisoners at the County Jail with simi-
lar costs for the Connecticut and Mas
sachusetts State Prisons-although
the number of prisoners confined in
the State prisons are greatly in excess
of these at the local jail-it might
be we'll to give the menu for a week
of the food served to the inmates of
the Charlestown Penitentiary, at a
cost Of about nine cents per day, as
compared with the 23-7-10 cents per
day for the local Jail.
Sunday: Breakfast: Baked rice
with milk, cocoa and bread; Dinner
and supper combined: Baked fish,
fried, boiled or mashed potatoes, with
other vegetables; tea; white or gra-
ham bread.

It Is stated that the prisoners thrive

The cost of feeding the Panama
Canal laborers the Subsistence De-
partment of the Isthmain Canal Com
mission notwithstG nding the heavy
transportation and other charges for
the long haul from the base of sup
plies in the States, is less than seven
teen cents per man per day, exclusive
of the cost of service. As the prepare
ton and serving of the food at the
County jail is done by the prisoners,
the, cost of feeding at the Jail should
not exceed nineteen cents per man per
day, allowing for the small number of
men fed there as compared with tho
Panama Canal laborers. On the basis,
therefore, of 35,0S1 imprisonment days
for 1911, and at cost of nineteen
cents per man per day, the feeding of
the prisoners should be reduced, by,
approximately, $15SO.OO per annum.
An inspection of the Jail showed the
buildings, yards, cells and other places
in a clean condition. The records and
accounts are Systematically and care
fully kept.

London, April 6.-(Special.)-Th King honored with his presence the Rugby foot ball match at the Queens club, West Kensington. between the officers of the royal navy and officers of the army. His majesty, who was accompanied by the Prince of Wales and attended by Capt. E. Godfrey Faussett, R. N, and Col. w. IAmbton, motored to the ground and ar rived five minutes before the time adver- tsed for kickoff
 He was received on behalf of the navy by Vice Admiral Sir John Jellicoe (presi- dent of the Royal Naval Rugby union), by Field Marshal Earl Roberts and Lieut. Gen. Sir Horace Smith Dorrien on behalf of the army, and by the Earl Of Claren- don (the presidenO and Lord Desborough, on behalf of the Queens club, in whose grounds the match was played.
 On leaving his car the King took his seat in the royal enclosure in the pavilion and the players were at once presented 10 him First Lieut.. N. A. Modehouse, R. N. (captain of the navy 15l and the naval ofi- cers, and then Capt w. s. D. Craven, k. H. A (captain of the army 15l, and his side filled up the steps, his majesty shak- ing hands with each of them.
 The band of the Sixth Battalion Royal Fusilers played the National Anthem when the royal car arrived. and on leav- ing the pavilion, the officers about to take part in the game drew up in front of his majesty and gave him three hearty cheers The public waited until the play CTS had ended their cheering and then gave their King second reception.
 For an hour and half the King and the Prince were enterested spectators of what proved to be, in spite of the heavy rain, a first rate game. and as his majesty

got into his car to go he was the object of another enthusiastic demonstration.
 The main gate of the grounds. through which carriages must pass is about loo yards from the pavilion. owing to the crowd his majestys car could only move slowly, and of this opportunity the specta- tors duly avaied themselves. They formed into two ranks on either side of the track and for several minutes there was loud and prolonged cheering. The King, who looked to be iy the best of health, seemed pleased with the sincerity and spontaneousness of these parting cheers.
 AS Prince of Wales his majesty. on many occasions honored big Rugby matches with his presence, and his knowl- edge of the various details of the play is known to be considerable. But this was the first occasion on which a King of England had witnessed game of Rugby.

PNEUMATIC STREET CLEANING

square yard, makes this a serious item of expense. Furthermore, the street dirt is only transferrSa to the sewers. where a large part of 1t settles in the catch basins and must be removed This latter item, of course, coes not appear In the street cleaning cost, but is real and very considerable item, never theless.
 Pneumatic cleaning bears the same relation to street sweeping that vacuum cleaning does to broom sweeping for floors. It Is dustless, and the street which has been swept is dustless. It removes all the dirt. the fine light dust as well as the heavy. not only from the surface, but also from all the cracks, the spaces between bricks and granite blocks, and from street car tracks. A rough pavement is cleaned as thorough ly as the smoothest asphalt surface. No sprinkling is required. there is no possi- bility of damaging any kind of pave ment. The passing of the sweeping gang ceases to be a nuisance to the residents
 These results are accomplished by the Furnas pneumatic street cleaning machine. The picture shows a general view of the machine, which is of the automobile type, propelled by gasoline engine.
 "The sweeping hood Is shown resting
 
 set of course brushes or rather scratch CTS, which loosen any dirt which may be stuck to the street sur-ace. The dirt Is taken up and deposited in the dirt box. the bottom of which consists of two doors which can be dropped for depositlng the load. "The small boiler shown furnishes a supply of steam which dampens the dirt, aiding In its separation from the air. and also forms 1t into dustless mat or cake in the box, so that no dust Is made when dumping or when loading | into wagons
 "The sectional view shows the air circulating system, which Is the inter esting and all important part of the machine. The general plan is that the air used for sweeping Is recirculated. being used over and over again, with a small amount which is taken out to provide for leakage .s will be ex- piained later.
 "You will notice that the sweeping 2 hood consists of an inner and an outer portion. The outer portion is enclosed by short curtains, or fines. made of canvas. to which small plates of iron are riveted. These plates serve to weigh down the canvas and slso to take the wear, due to dragging on the street They are sufficiently light, however, to pass over the dirt, and not act as a brush or scraper.
 The machine is operated by two men The driver controls the steering, and propulsion, and fan speeds. The opera tor controls the pressure in the air sys- tenn raises and lowers the hood re- quired by means of the two levers shown, fires the boiler, and dumps tho dirt.
 | For average conditions this machine will sweep 15 to IS great squares of 10000 square feet per hour"

After the Battle

From the New 1ork sun.
 After the battle of chancellorsville among the mortaly wounded left on the field was a young Confederate solder. One of his countrymen, realizing that the breath was fast leaving his body, leaned against the side of great tree which screened him from observation and waited for the end to come.
 Presently a boy in blue came up, and observing that the dying soldier was wearing fine pair of leather boots stopped and began quickly 10 unlace them.
 The Confederate realizing what he was up to stepped from his hidding place and accosted him.
 Hey, you, What are you doing there. you rascal? That mans still living. Take your hands off him this instant"
 The Union soldier rather sheepishy abandoned his undertaking and turned to depart
 "A precious lot you've rot to do wit 1t. anyhow" he grumbled as he shoul- dered his gun.
 -'l've got this much to do with it. my friend. I've been waiting around here in the rain a couple of hours for that fellow to die to get those boots myself and I don't mean to be cheated out of them'

Cows Tried for Murder


 Old documents of the Middle Ages tell us of numerous cases where animals were put on trial for serious offenses charged against them. For examiple, in 1870 three cows were tried for having killed a boy. the whole herd were arrested as accom- plices. All were discharged but the guilty three. these being condemned to be exc cuted. The sentence was pronounced by the Duke of Burgundy.

APPREHENS|VE FOR
 COMING MAY DAY
European Labor Expected
 to Make Demonstration
THE kAISER'S BIG NAVY
Kaiserin, According to Custom. Holds Reception for Bremen and Po- licemen Who Have Dis
 tinguished Themselves
By MALCOLM CLARKE

Berlin, April 6.-(Special. Not in many years has the approach of the first of May been looked forward to with as deep interest not to say concern as it Is to- day. The coal strikes in England, Ger many and America, the great gains made by the socialists in Germany, the spirit of unrest in France, Italy and Austria all portend a state of unrest among workingmen the world over and there is reason to believe that it will manifest itself in world wide demonstratons, on May Oay which is the day European la bor has set apart as it's own,
 Just what form the demonstration will take, what will be it's scope and object, no one outside the inner circles of labor unions know. It is known that notices have been sent to the local heads of the labor organizations not only in Germany, but throughout Europe and America to prepare their members for a
 general strike.
 It is hoped that it will not be more
 than a world strike for single day to demonstrate the solidarity of labor the
 world over, but there is reason to be- lieVe that in certain trades and in some sections there will be more than this. In fact 1t is regarded as certain that those trades which are not already work ing under the eight hour day rule will demand the institution of the eight hour
 day, and other trades are believed to have determined to demand higher wages and better working conditions, The German government is quietly mak- | ing arrangements to handle promptly and effectively whatever condition may arise and there is no doubt other governments are doing the same.
 May Day may pass without serious re- suits, but the feeling here is pessimis- | tic.

Ne7vs of Ensley

When seen regarding the report that his nomination for judge of the inferior court would be contested by the friends of C. r. Camp. F. O. Harris, the nominee, said yesterday that he did not care to discuss the matter at all. He stated that he de- sired to abide by the action of the pri- mary. Judge Camp was seen yesterday afternoon and had the following to say:
 'It is true that number of citizens are insisting that l should Ale a contest, and l know positively that received a ma iorty of the legal votes cast in the pri- mary, and if the proper authorities want proof of the fact that over 75 Illegal votes were cast against me 1t will be an easy matter to establish this fact However. out of total of 1886 votes the count shows l was defetaed by only B votes, and after the heavy vote of confidence which has been given me I cannot help feeling very much disinclned to take any action which will likely increase and keep alive all the bitterness and hard feeling caused by this election.
 "I hope, however, that hereafter some action will be taken to relieve the con- gested voting in the large Ensley box, as it is practically impossible to conduct a clean election with so many voters crowding to vote in one box"
