AN INSOLVENT RAILROAD

Two Receivers Appointed for the Cincinnati, Washington Jc Baltimore. It Fail? to Tar Interest, and Has Fallen Xearlj $:000.X!0 Behind Since Its Organization Other 3ratters of Interest. Cincinnati, Dec. 31. Application was made this morning, before Jud.ce Peck, of the Superior Court, for the appointment of a receiver for the Cincinnati, Washington &. Baltimore railroad. Thejudge appointed Colonel Orland Smith, who has been president of the road, and Henry C. Yerjrafron, vice-president of the Merchants' National Dank, of tins - city, as joint receivers. Kach gave bond in - the sum of fX),00O. The petition was tiled by the Farmers Loan and Trust Company, of New York, which is a trustee for the mortgage creditors of the Cincinnati, Washington & Baltimore Company. It asserts that the road has failed to pay interest, that it is insolvent, and that there is no other way in which equitable relief can be obtained. The indebtedness upon which to-day's suit was brought is the first issue of bonds to the amount of $7,000,000. On this is an accrued interest amounting tV 8SCu,000. The Baltimore &. Ohio road was represented in to-day's action, and acquiesced in the proceedings. It has a claim for the pay'inent of 030,000 of interest. A judg.ment was entered foine time ago against the company for 1,500.000, in favor of the Chesapeake V Ohio railroad Company for supplies and current expenses. The affidavit of the secretary and auditor of the road, attached to the petition, sets forth that the bonded indebted- ' ness of the road is 14,70..000, secured by two mortages, on which the total lixed .charges amount to 7()0.7n.". The unpaid coupons due amount to $710,842, with interest from the time they fell due. The net earnings of the road since its organization have falling short of meeting the lixed charges in the Mini of $1,232,000, Its indebtedness in interest warrants during the proceedings for reorganization prior to 1SN5 is SG5,K)0, making its present indebtedness nearly $1,HOO,000, and to-morrow this will be increased bv coupons falling due to the amount of 03,b00. 1 he comnanj has also is--sued $7,500,000 income bonds in addition to - th indebtedness before mentioned. The receivers were, put in possession of the road and authorized to proceed with its management. Ifr is reported that these proceedings will result in bringing about an equitable readjustment of the bonded indebtedness of the company and the tixed charges, so that the company will be placed .on a solvent footing. It is understood that Rome readjustment of this indebtedness hasbeen contemplated for some time and that a committee will presently present a plan .of reorganization whereby, if possible, all interests will be protected. Mr. W. C. McClintock. who has for a long time been connected with the Cincinnati, Washington &, Baltimore road as counsel, and who is thoroughly familiar with all its affairs, says the road has been earning Miiee its reorganization, in 1S83, from 400,000 to s."00,000 above its operating expenses. Tint that sum is not sufficient to pay the lixed c hirges. which amount in round number to $7X),000 a year. Therefore, the road has been falling'behind almost 000,000 a year. The outcome will be a readjustment of the indebtedness, but it is too early to predict -what shall be done with the bonds. Mr. McClintock further savs that itislikelv that the road will be sold. Meantime, all the present officers and employes will bo retained, the same as if no receivership had .been established. Most of the bondholders are residents of England. Baltimore. Md., Dec. SI. E. J. D. Cross, of the B. fc O. legal department, who has conducted the Cincinnati, Washington fc "Baltimore negotiation in behalf of the B. &, O., said to-day, after hearing of the appointment of receivers: "The Cincinnati, 'Washington &. Baltimore road could not' earn enough to pay interest on its mortgages. It owed supply claims to Cincinnati. Since lSi7 it lias fallen behind over 1,000,000. It7nnted new equipment, and the appointment of receivers was made to effect a readjustment, and not to destroy the property. The B. & O. is a creditor of the Cincinnati, Washington &, Baltimore for 1,250.000 on judgments for supplies, under which a sale could have been forced in ten davs. Besides, the B. & O. holds about 2,000,000 in bonds. But little of the stock is owned in Baltimore. I believe a great deal is held in Europe." 2)aes and Iugalls on Interstate Commerce. Chicago. Dec. 31. At the eighty-second regular meeting and dinner of tho Commercial Club of this city, Saturday night, the subject of discussion was, "The interstate commerco law its effect upon the railroads and the business of the country since it has been in operation." Among tho speakers wero President In galls, of the 'Big Four 1 road,and United States Senator Dawes, of Massachusetts. Senator Dnwes, when asked by a reporter to-day for the substance of his speech, declined' to give it, as he understood the meeting to be a secret one. lie had no hesitation, however, in. expressing his views, lie said: 4The question involves, to begin, with, the relation which ought to exist between the shippers and the railroads, and there oucht ne'ver be any. legislation which will bring antagonism. Internal commerce has increased to such an amazing extent that it has become absolutely necessarv. xo nave common con trol. I no dttlicultv is nor in too apt to judge the taw by its immediate rather than by its ultimate effect on those who ire passing judgement. Massachusetts complains bitterly of the long and short clauses; Chicago complains of the prohibition f pooling: and shippers from other localities complain that their expectations of relief from unjust discrimination have not been realized. There is no reasonable ground to expect a repeal of the law. There is. on the other hand, reason to expect an enlargement of its scope andpowers in the direction of a clearer definition of tho regulations which Congress intends to impose on commerce between tho States, as well as better ami more effective means of eeurini conformity to its provisions and the removal of conilicting and impractical clue which may have inadvertently crept ioto it." Mr. Ingalls, of the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, bt. l.onNA: Chicago system, said that in his opinion the interstate law had come to Mpv. The long-and-short-haul clause does nothing wore- than put into legal shape and make binding the system under which tho New Yrk Central, the Pennsvlvania and the Ln'.:o ;horv companies hail worked for years, t' nicress cannot be blamed, nor can Ave grt the law- chanircd until the railways agree among themselves. If there wero ho wars, ami through rates were maintained, at si fair Mim,there would be no difficulty with the clause. Managers had heretofore, relied more upon pools than upon the integrity of their agreements. If a company agrees to maintain rates and does not do it, the competitor should have the right to recover damages in tho courts. Mr. Insralls concluded bv sayiug that the problem rested with the managers or owners of railroads, and could not be solved by legislation. Iowa's Lawg to lie Enforced. Dubuque, la, Dec. SI. Governor Larrabee is sending instructions to 6ome of tho county attorneys of the State, calling their attention to the provisions of the la vis of tho last General Assembly in regard to the regulation 3f railroads, and asking them, in case they at any time become satisfied that tho taw is bejng violated by any .railroad comi anj" doing business in their counties, to enter complaint before the grand jury with a view to securing the indictment of the roads. The Governor proposes to see that the provisions of the law are enforced, it possible. Hour h Kallroa.l Calned IU Point. St. Louis, Dec. l. For some time' past the St. Louis, Alton and Springfield railway has been endeavoring to gain an entrance to Alton,; I1L, but owing to an injunction sued out by tho Chicago & Alton, to prevent the new line from crossing tho

C. Sc. A. tracks, has been unable to do so. Yesterday the St. Louis, Alton fc Springfield cone nved a new way of effecting an entrance, by cutting away a portion of tho Weaver vinegar-works and pushing tlw Alton side-tracks over against the bluff, and with a big force of men? carried the idea out successfully, and this morning is in possession of tho coveted inlet. Nearly a mile of track was put down yesterday. Tho St. Louis, Alton & Springfield enters frit. Louis on the Indianapolis fc St. Louis tracks. Kat-TSouml Shipments from Chicago. Chicago, Dec. 31. The shipments of flour grain and provisions from Chicago to the seaboard by the roads in the Central Traffic Association, last week, aggregated C7,5?2 tons, against 80,177 for the previous week, a decrease of 12,005 tons, and against 44,703 tons for the corresponding week last year, an increase of 22,803 tons. The advance in the east-bound rates had something to do with the falling off in tonnage. Another factor was the circumstance that only live days are included in the report, owing to tho Christmas holiday.' The Vauderbilt lines carried 51 percent, of the total; the .Pennsylvania lines, 18.9; Grand Trunk, 1S.5; Baltimore & Ohio, 18.5; Big Four, 0.1. Victory for the Pennsylvania. New York, Dec. :n. Judgo Wallace, of the United States Circuit Court of New York, to-day decided the issue raised on tho demurrer on tho Arthur Kill bridge between the Pennsylvania Railroad Company and the Baltimore fc Ohio Company's interests, in favor of the Pennsylvania Kailroad Companv. The latter company claimed several million dollars for the damages caused by the bridge as at present constructed. The bridge companv demurred, on the ground that Congress liad authorized the bridge, and that was an end to the controversy. The decision of .Judge Wallace establishes tho legal right to recover damages done, and now the question comes forward as to the amount of damages. Personal, Local and State Notes. The grading on tho Evansvillo '& Richmond roud is completed between Eluora and Odin. - General Manager Beach and Superintendent of Motive Power Turiff, of the Bee-line, are in the city. D. F. Whitcomb, superintendent of the Union railway and tho Belt road, has returned from 1'ils Eastern trip. The directors of the Evansville , Terre Haute road have declared a 1 1-4 per cent, quarterly dividend, payable Jan. 21. The yellow-fever scare has subsided, and passenger men state that indications point to :$ large travel fo Florida this month. The Wabash management has ordered two first-class heavy passenger engines built at the company's shops in Fort Wayne. F. B. Emery, agent of the Empire line at Evansville, has resigued, to go to St. Louis to accept a more important railroad position. R. M. Richardson, master mechanic of the St. Louis fc Iron Mountain road, today retires, and is succeeded by Frank Reardon. George Branham. of this city, is interested in a projected electric elevated railway which he, with others, propose to build in St. Louis. D. J. Mackey, president of tho Evansville &. Terre Haute road, is East arranging for funds to build some of the roads in which he is interested. Up to date the Chicago police have arrested eleven men who were engaged in the robbery of tho Louisville, New Albany & Chicago freight cars. The car department of tho Pennsylvania Company at the Fort Wayne shops is engaged in building a lot of cars especially adapted to carrying produce. A The Citizens' Street Railway Company has placed flagmen at every railroad crossused by them within the city limitl, at an expense of nearly $500 a month. In the year just closed the Pennsylvania lines added 1,300 freight cars to their equipment, and could use as many more to advantage if they had them at the present time. Mr. D. G. Edwards, heretofore acting general passenger agent of the Queen & Crescent route, has been appointed general passenger and ticket agent of the company, dating from Jan. 1, lNSy. Dating from to-day, Harry Miller, superintendent of tho sruithern division of tho C, St. L.?fc P. lines is to have charge of track aud traffic in the yards at Richmond, lnd., in addition to his other duties. William Sullivan to-day begins his seventh year as agent of the C, I., St. L. &, C. at this point. Although the youngest man in the city holding so important a position, he manages to seenro lor this road its full share of business. The work which the local Ticket Agents' Association proposes to do is fully as extensive as that of the Trunk-line association, yet they expect their .chairman to do the work of his office without salary, whilo Chairman Fink is paid-$4,000 a year. The Lake Erie fc Western enters the new year nnder very favorable auspices. General Manager Bradbury says that the road will increase its gross earnings in 18S9 fully 12 yer cent, over those of 1888, which means anincrease of nearly 23,000 a month. The Ohio & Mississippi and the Wabash Western are doing better in the way of earnings, the O. fc M. showing an increase this year over the earnings of the third week in December, 1887, of 3,700, and the Wabash Western an increase of 1,115. The railroad commission of Illinois will recommend that the Legislature of that State take such action as will enable, tho railroad companies to charge and collect demurrage when cars are detained for unloading beyond a reasonable iime, say forty-eight hours. It is nnderstood that circulars will bo issued, to-day, announcing the resignation of E. P. Wilson, as general passenger agent of the Chicago &, Northwestern road, and that he is to be appointed general passenger agent of the New York Central road, vice Henry Mouett, deceased. George A. Sanderson, who is to represent the passenger and freight department of the Chicago, St. Paul fc Kansas City road in this territory, arrived in the city yesterday, and to-day will assume the 'duties of the position. He has leased for his office room o in the Jackson-place block. Wm. Garstang, superintendent of the rolling stock of the Chesapeake & Ohio road, is in the city, bringing with him the Hpecitications for the SOU cars which the Indianapolis car-works are to build for that road. The works will begin on that contract on Monday next, dropping work on the C, B. &. Q. cars for a few days. While the time dials in the old Union Station were looked upon by the railroad officials as having been old fogy affairs, they would be highly appreciated by the traveling public if they wero replaced, as by this arrangement at a glance the traveler could tell at what hour his train was to leave the Union Station. Now it can be ascertained only through persistent inquiry. On Saturday last. President Ingalls contracted with the Pullman company to build four complete trains, the coaches to bo heated by steam from the locomotive, and to be lighted by electricity. They are to be painted an orange yellow, the same color as are the C, I., St. L. V. C. equipments, and will be run between Chicago and the. seaboard, via Indianapolis and Cincinnati, over the C, I., St. L. fc C. and the C. & O. roads. On account of very low rates prevailing during the past year the Ohio, Indiana &, Western will be unable to meet the interest on any bonds except the Indianapolis, Bloonungton fc Western preferred. It is not believedthere will be anv otherdefault, and this delay on the part of the company had been anticipated. As soon as the funds come in interest on other bonds will bo paid, and it is not expected that the delay will be serious. President Roberts, of the Pennsylvania lines, is of the opinion that necessary changes in the interstate law can better be determined in a year hence, if in that time the railroads and the public will live strictly up to its requirements. Every move made by the Pennsylvania people goes to confirm the belief that there is something in the statement that tho law Mas framed after ideas suggested by this gigantic corporation.

1IILX. NYE IX ALABA3IA.

lie Visits Birmingham and Is Led to Moralize on the Course of Mr. Hawes. Once a "Week. ' Birmingham is a vonng Kansas City, and has city lots staked out so far west, and Kansas City has so many extending east, that there is really only a narrow strip of ground between the two towns, and it is being rapidly bought np. A new railroad counects the two young giants, and a few choice lots in either place will be a good investment for those who have become weary of putting their money into Canadian tourists. 1 Birmingham reminds me so forcibly of a booming mining town that I remarked to Mr. Rile3 as we got off the train, that all we needed to carry out tho bimilarity was an earnest lvnching party. In less than twenty-four hours a crowd of 5,000 people made a party call at the jail for the purpose of extending the neck of a gentleman named Hawes, but after twenty people had been killed and wounded by the officers they, retreated. Several strangers who had never seen a man lynched and wanted to bo able to scare their children with the story when they got home by telling about it, went to observe the entertainment, returning later on by way of the undertaker's store. Sir. Hawes was a man whohad an earnest nature anda large red elm elnb, with which he ever and anon attracted the attention of his wife when he wanted to communicate a disagreeable truth to her. But he would most always feel real sorry about it afterward, and one time after ho had broken two of his wife's ribs in this way, he told her he could see that he had perhaps been hasty and given herneedless pain, and he believed that he had better divide up his attentions between her and another woman, so that one of them could recover while he geutly rebuked the other. So he married another woman, and this created a personal feeling between the two, for no true wife -can bear to know that her soul's idol is lavishing his kicks on another. Night after night thetirst wife would sit up all alone counting the lagging hours, all the time knowing full well that her rival was fretting all the large blue welts over tho ack which had in tho happy past been hers and hers alone. ' They had two little girls, which Sir. Hawes was in tho habit of kissing in public and kicking across the tireside occasionally, and so, w hen little May. was found last week lying dead on the shore of East Lake, Mr. Hawes was placed in jail. Whilo we wero in Birmingham, the . citizens of the towndragged the lake and found tho first Mrs. Hawes at the bottom, with a large quantity of railroad iron attached to her. That was partly what created a feeling against Mr. Hawes, and so a great many of his old neighbors went up to the jail to present him with the freedom of tho new Jerusalem, but they were foiled. Several of them were so much so that they will never wholly recover from its effects. But I think that he will ultimately climb a telegraph pole at the hands of his friends, and if the evidence as thus far given be correct, the audience is making no mistake. Mr. Hawes did wrong, in the lirst instance, in marrying two women. When a man marries two women he is already on the downward rqad. 'One wife seems to call for another" in such a case, and then ill feeling arises. Sir. Hawes, of course; then tried to obviate tho. wife he had at lirst married, and now people dislike him for it. Sir. Hawes made a mistake, also, in marrying a woman, anyway. Ho should have have married a Southern hotel carpet, and then a little beating wouldn't have been out of place, though, of course, it might have aroused suspicion. No man should accumulate a family with a view toward eradicating them as soon as he becomes weary of them and desires to become tho head of, another family, for whom ho has a high regard. And so Mr. Hawes is in a very trying position at this time. He may wako up, most any morning now, and find, himself in a felon's grave. This ought to be a solemn warning to littlo boys and girls who may bo tempted to wipe out a previous family in order to become more solid, as I may say, with a recent one. TILEY CAUGIIT REPEATKKS.'Ten Awards Made from Chairman Quay's Anti-Corruption Fund. New York Special. ' x Cornelius N. Bliss, Elihn Root and Daniel G. Rollins, the committee in charge of Senator Quay's anti-corruption fund, met t,6 day to distribute tho awards due to persona who had been instrumental in seennngcoji-, victions for violation of the election law : lest November. Only ten convictions foT ftJse registration in Kew York and Brooklyn were brought before to committee. There were twelve claimants, of whom two were rejected. The ten prizes approved aggregate only 5,250, so that there remain $lD;750of the fund undistributed. Theprize of $2,000 for the first detection was paid oii Oct. 25 to undertaker John Broderick, of 140 Madison street, a Republican inspector of election. Broderick knows everyone iu the block in which he lives, and when George Gordon, a tramp from Rhode Island, registered from 142 Madison street, the inspector arrested him. On Oct. 23 Gordon pleaded guilty and got two years and six months from Judge Cowing, and on ' tho 25th Broderick got two 1,000 notes from the Garfield Bank. In all tho other cases the awards wero made to-day. Patrick Callahan, of 39 Mott street, an election inspector, gets the second reward of 1,000 for information which resulted in sending .np James SI. Starr, "a 'trampv colonist, for the same term .that Gordon received. The thirdprizo of $500 goes to patrolman Samuel J. Campbell, of - the Twenty-tif th precinct. Samuel Ray, who was Campbell's victim, was sentenced for two j'ears and four months. William Dunbar and Patrick B. Carter, policemen belonging to the Fourth precinct, will divide the fourth reward of 250, which is awarded them for detecting Joseph Lochner in giving a false address. Judge Cowing gave Lochner three years and six months. The offer of tho committee was $250 for each conviction after the fourth. James Lowe, of 177 Chrystie street, a private citizen and a Democrat, will receive one'of the remaining six prizes of the amount. J. E. SInhling, of 101 South Fifth avenune, chairman of the board of inspectors, will et another. Cornelius J. Hefferman and Nathaniel J. Kelley, laboring men, who live at 1 Peek Slip, will divide another prize. Three of the rewards go to Brooklyn. Joseph SlcCaifrey, of 149 Chauucey street an election inspector, will get two rewards, or $500 altogether, and Frederick Cochen, of 210 South Fourth street, AVilliamsburg, one. Cochen is a Republican, and was recently discharged from a public office, becav-ie, as Commissioner Bell told him, he wasn't a Democrat. He is now a private detective. Checks have been sent to all tho lucky winners except SIcCaffrey and Cochen. The three men against whom these last brought charges have pleaded guilty, but have not yet been sentenced. A 4 soon as sentence is passed the Brooklyn prizemen will get their money. An Educational Anecdote. Boston Transcript. j . Another gem from the school examination papers this time-from the Boston High-school, and from the papers of a young lady who had graduated from the grammar school: tyuetetion Is there an antidote for hydrocyanic acid I Answer Yes. The antidMe for hydroevanic aeid is the tongue of a large dog, cautiously inhaled. It would puzzle anyone but an expert to determine by what roundabout means this young lady had evolved such a statement. But there was something in the book about the deadly effect of a single small drop of pmssic acid, placed "upon the tongue of a large dog," and the pupil, without one siugle thought of its meaning, had echoed the words of the book into this strange answer. What Thlrd-l'iuty Nonsense IIhs Done. Boston Journal. Third-party prohibition has had a damaging cftc-ct in Georgia. Last year the sale of liquor was allowed under the local-option system in only thirty-eight out of the 138 counties in the State. This year the number of "wet" counties has increased to sixtvone. According to the Macon Telegraph, this change does not indicate a decline in the temperance sentiment of the State, but is due to the bad judgment of the Prohibitionists in trying to orgauizo a third party. A Man' Lively Fight with an Eagle. Fred B. Hubbard, a druggist of this city, had a battle with an eagle last night, and after a severe struggle captured it. Hubbard was walking out at the. We-end. when suddenly he was almost knocked down by the nuch bird, which lighted on his shoulder and buried his talons in his flesh. He grabbed the bird, which then fastened its hush beak m his hand, indict

ing a severe wound. After a lively tnssle the bird was made to break its hold and was thrown to the ground. In an instant it jumped up ami fastened its beak in the fleshy part of Hubbard's leg, just above the knee. Hubbard managed to get a firm grip on the wings of the bird, and thus held it a prisoner. He has three bad wounds, but has the satisfaction of having captured a live eagle. A SOUTHERN POCAHONTAS.

Dressed in Male Garments, She Runs Away with a Devoted "White L.over. Colombia (S. C.) Special. A couple of weeks ago a man and boy, or persons dressed as such, were arrested in this city. One was white and the other a handsome Indian. It was the appearance of the latter that aroused the suspicion of the police. If he was a man there had been a mistake made in his build. The pair were taken to the guard-houso and the dusky companion of the white man was found to be a pretty girl of about sixteen years. The couple were well dressed and had some money and the girl was armed with a revolver. Neither of them would give any information as to where they were from or the object of concealing the girl's sex. She professed to be ignorant of where she was, and only knew that she had come from where there were many of her own race living by a "big river." Her left, arm had recently been broken at the wrist and was badly knit together, f Thev were held by the police and inquiry made in every direction, but without result. It was ascertained that they had occupied separate rooms on different floors in the lodginghouse where they had stayed before being arrested, and about all the girl would say was that she was not the wife of the white man. Her name as a man was Smith. Finally the couple, iindingthat thepolico were friendly disposed, decided to tell their romantic storj There is in North Carolina, near Fayetteville, a remnant of the Cherokee tribe, and "Smith" was the prettiest girl in the Indian settlement. "Charley," her present companion, who belongs to a very respectable family in that section, fell in love, with tho Indian maiden and she returned his affection. When Charley's family heard of the attachment there was a storm, and tho Indians were no better pleased with the prospect of giving their prettiest flower to a whito man, particularly as they could not marry in that state. It ultimately became so warm for the young man that he thought it best to leave that section and cross this State to Georgia, where he had relatives. The girl determined to accompany him in tho disguise adopted. Their money gave out and they had to walk sometimes along the road. A stick of wood flew off a passing engine and broke the ami of the young woman, who, fearing that her sex would be discovered, let the wound heal without surgical aid. After taking some days to substantiate this story, tho police have released the couple, who expect to be made one soon after crossing into Georgia. WHISKY IN KENTUCKY. It Is Not Used So Extensively as n Drink as Is Generally Supposed. Charles Dudley "Warner, in Harper's. There are many distilleries in this part of the country, and a great deal of whisky is made. I am not defending whisky, at least any that is less than thirty vears old, and has attained a medicinal ouality. But 1 want to express my opinion that this is as temperate as any region in the United States. There is a wide-spread strict temperance sentiment, and even prohibition prevails to a considerable degree. Whisky is made and stored, and mostly shipped away; rightly or wrongly, it is regarded as a legitimate business, like wheat-raising, aud is conducted by honorable men. 1 believe this to bo the truth, and that drunkenness does not prevail in the neighborhood of tho distilleries, nor did I see anywhere in the country evidence of a habit of dram-drinking or the traditional matter-of-course offering of whisky as a . hospitality. It is true that nihit grows in Kentucky, and that there are persons who would win tho respect of a tidewater Virginian in the concoction of a julep. And, no doubt, in the mind of the born Kentuckian there is a rooted belief that if a person needed a stimulant, the. best he can take is old handmade whisky. Where the manufacture of whisky i$ the source of so much revenue, and is carried on with decorum, of course, the pnhli? sentiment about it di tiers from that of a community that makes its money in raising potatoes for starch. Where the horse is so beautiful, fleet, and profitable, of eourso there is intense interest in him, and the general public take a lively pleasure in the races; out, if the reader has been accustomed to associate this part of Kentucky with horse-racing and drinking as prominent . characteristics, he must reverse his opinion. Why We Eat Mince Pie. Boston Advertiser. l',J ' " "That was acquaint touch of history which Dr. Griffis' gave his hearers at Sfiawinut Church, yesterday, about the mince pie. His was a Christmas sermon, with all tho rest, and in the course of it he said: "The mince pie, whatever it may be to weak digestion, is also a harmless relic of the old mediaeval custom of teaching truths by visible emblems, even as the passover was shadowed forth by the roast lamb, bitter herbs, unleavened cake, water and wine. This composite pie is a nicture and symbol of. the manger at Bethlehem. In its original oblong shape it typified tho place of the cattle, and by its meats, spices and fruits, in their order, what was present at the birth of Jesus the flesh of oxen ami one of the shepherd's flocks, the oriental frankincense and myrrh of the Magi, ami the food out of the earth for man and beast. To eat mince pie was once a test of orthodoxy, that is, Iioman Catholic orthodoxy. For this reason this particular delicacy was tabooed by the ultra Protestants. 'Now, however, we have won this historical symbolical pastry from all suggestions of Boman ecclesiastical dominion, and can eat it without asking any questions, except for digestion's sake, as innocently as we butter hot cross-buns."

The clearness and brilliancy of handsome cut glass Is always Irh-. paired if washed with soap containing resin, which invariably leaves a thin semi-transparent coating in the grooves or furrows, giving the article the appearance of cheap moulded glassware. Ivory Soap contains no resin, is easily rinsed off, and if used with tepid water and a soft brush, will give your cut glass that clearness and brilliancy which produce the beautiful prismatic effects. t A WORD OF WARNING. There are many white soaps, each represented to be "just as good as the ,Ivory,;M they ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of the genuine. Ask for "Ivory" Soap and insist upon getting it. 11 Copyright, 18S6, bj Procter A Gimble.
