The discovery of this product, and the demonstration of its remarkable qualities, has attracted the widest interest. Hitherto the common shortening has been lard, or indifferent butter. Every one has probably suffered occasional dis- comfort from lard-cooked food; while it is well known that thous- ands are obliged to abstainentire- ly from everything of that kind. To such people, CoTToLens is of peculiar value, widening as it does, the range of what may be eaten and enjoyed. CoTTOLENE isa cooking marvel. It combines with the food—imparts to it a tempting color, a delicate flavor, and an appetizing crispness. No trace of greasiness remains to offend the taste, or disturb the digestion. CoTTOoLENE is worthy of the careful notice of all those who value good food, of itself or for its hygienic properties. Sold by Leading Grocers. Mads only by dN. K. FAIRBANK & CO., CHICAGO and ST.

MONDAY. NOVEMBER 6, 1893—TWELVE PAGES. ISUBURBAN NEWS: ALEXANDRIA. Among the street improvements of the near future will be the laying out and grad- ing of Wythe street. Passengers passing to and from Washington on the steamers may notice in the clay bank a few rods north of the fish wharf an opening about seventy feet wide, whose line seems to pass to the north side of Portner’s brewery. Passengers on the railroad from Alexandria to Washington may notice on the base ball grounds, about 12) yards north of Coloross, a staked line, which also seems if pro- tracted to pass on the north side of Port- ner’s brewery. These two points are sev- erally the east and west ends of Wythe street. The street has existed on paper since 178, when it was laid out by Alexan- dria’s executors and named after one of the foremest statesmen of Virginia. Although laid down on the map for over a century it did not come into actual existence as a thoroughfare until after Portner’s brew- ery was built, when a few houses were erected upon it. It runs over comparatively level ground from the west boundary of the city eastward until it reaches Royal street, where it suddenly falls into a marsh and becomes impassable. On the east side of the marsh, after having crossed Fairfax street, it passes through a hill, which has been just cut down, near what was once Smith’s lime kiln and bathes its eastern end in the Potomac. The marsh crossing will be the most costly part of the grad- ing, but even there the work is partly done, for in 1855, when Fairfax street was graded, in order to give a good route to the old Alexandria canal, very much of the excavated earth north of Pendleton street was dumped into the marsh on the line of Wythe street. This bank, which nearly crosses the marsh, is still there nearly intact and it will need only an arch over the waterway of the marsh and a slight cutting of the bank there and on the river side to make the street passable even now. Discharged From Castody. William Arrington and Alphonso Arring- ton, arrested yesterday morning for causing the death of an old man named Hatton by beating him, had a hearing before Mayor Strauss yesterday afternoon. These men beat Hatton a few days ago and Hatton died last night, but on the trial Dr. Smith testified that Hatton's death was not caused by his injuries, but by natural disease, and the prisoners were discharged. Notes. Although yesterday was inclement, the churches were well attended. Rev. T. E. Coulburn occupied the pulpit of the Metho- dist Church on Washington street. Elder A. B. Francis came in from the country and preached in the old Baptist Church on Fair- fax street. Rev. Carl Grammer conducted the services at St. Paul’s P. E. Church, which is still without a pastor. Announce- ment was made that the Rev. W. H. Shep- pard, a young colored missionary for Africa, will speak this week on behalf of the mis- sions at the Second Presbyterian Church. The wild west show on Saturday at the weer end of King street was well patron- The new water plugs have been placed on Royal street at Wilkes and Wolfe streets and on Patrick street at Pendleton and Wilkes street. Lee Camp, Confederate Veterans, hold a meeting tonight. The populists held a meeting Saturday night at the opera house, where addresses were made in favor of their cause. The transfer barge for the railroad cross- ing between Alexandria and Shepherd’s is under repair at the ship yard and will be launched in @ few days. jee HYATTSVILLE. Tomorrow the jury composed of the voters of this county will render a verdict in favor of either the democratic or republican party. The single taxers or populists will not be in it this time and persons well posted in coun- ty politics say that they will not poll a hundred votes. The campaign has been a vigorous one on ail sides and the entire county has been canvassed. Cutting will be done by both democrats and republicans tomorrow, but the latter will be apt to do the most, as there seems to be more dissat- isfaction with their ticket than there is with the democratic. Mr. Jackson H. Ralston, the populist candidate for the state senate, will lead his ticket. Indications are that a large vote will be polled in the county. A democratic meeting will be held this evening by Mr. Pinkney A. Scaggs at the restdence of Mr. William Brock at Branch- ville. The meeting will be addressed by Mr. Scaggs and other local speakers. The young people of this villige will short- ly_o1 ize a progressive euchre club. Mr, James Bocock of Virginia was the guest of Mr. L. H. Campbell yesterday. A glee club has been organized at the Maryland Agricultural College, composed of the following members: Skinner, Cromwell, De Wall, Owens, Sligar, Harris, Simmons, Walker, Mullikin, Cropster, McCandlish, Harrison, Blackstone, Rollings and Wilmer. Mr. Skinner is the president of the club. Miss Nannie Skillman of Washington is visiting the Misses Coffin at Muirkirk. Rev. J. A. McMurray of Georgia is visit- ing the family of Mr. Branchville. Mr. John Hurley and wife of Washington have moved to Hyattsville and are occupy- ing Miss Rachel Lewin’s house near the new Masonic Temple. An illustrated lecture on the world’s fair will be given at the Presbyterian Church on Thursday evening for the benefit of the Young Ladies’ Mission Band. ——__. FREDERICK CITY. Paul Boileau at On the 23d of November, 1765, the Fred- erick county court, assembled in this city, took the first action on record in the mat- ter of repudiating the odious stamp act devised by the British. In commemoration of the event the Frederick County Histor- ical Society and the Frederick Chapter of the Daughters of of the American Revolu- tion will hold a celebration in the city Opera House here on the coming 23d in- stant, which wiil be the 138th anniversary of the intrepid action of the forefathers of this town. Appropriate addresses will be made, patriotic music will be played and an original poem will be read by Dr. Charles W. Hoffman of Washington. The democrats brought their campaign in this county to a close Saturday night with meetings at Brunswick and Walkers- ville, the rormer being addressed by Con. gressman Wm. M. McKaig and Col. L. V. Baughman. ‘The republicans held their only meeting of the campaign at Creagers- town, and prohibition meetings were heid at Middletown and Woodsboro’. The last meeting of the campaign by either party will be held Monday night at Jefferson by the prohibitionists, who have carried on de- cidedly the most active campaign of either of the parties, and expect to increase their vote largely. The campaign with the old parties has been one of indolence and apathy, but it is claimed that the candi- dates have been doing lots of quiet work among the voters. The democrats ciaim the county by about 300 majority, but the re- publicans are confident of electing their candidate for sheriff, D. P. Zimmerman, and say that if the democrats carry their ticket at all it will only be by majorities ranging from 50 to 75. There is considerable speculation here on the possible changes in the personnel of the Judiciary of the sixth judicial circuit, which comprises Frederick and Montgomery counties. Chief Judge James McSherry of Frederick is said to be a possible selection of President Cleveland for a successor to Judge Bond on the bench of the United States court at Baltimore, though his friends are positive that he wouid not give up a seat on the bench of the Maryland court of appeals to go to Baltimore. The two associate judges of this circuit are John A. Lynch of Frederick and John Vinson of Rockville, whose terms expire by reason of age limitation before the meeting of the next state legislature. If the legislature should vote to extend their terms, which it will be urged to do, as they are both able and vigorous men in spite of their vears, there will be no vacancies to fil by election, but should the legislature fail to act in the matter a judge will have to be elected next year both for Frederick and Montgomery counties. David E. Houck of Frederick, recently released from the house of correction, where he served a term for assault uvon a woman in this citv, was arrested Friday for an alleged indecent assault upon a thirteen-vear-old giri here, and in default of bail was committed to jail by Justice Eckstein to await the action of the next grand jury.

The star was beautifully constructed out of chrysanthemums, violets, pink carna- tions, pink roses, carnations and bovardies, and bore the inscription: “A tribute from the Women’s Literary Club of Baltimore to Francis Scott Key.” It was taken in charge by the Frederick Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and by them placed on the grave of Key, against the staff of the flag that is constantly floated there. The movement to erect a monument in this city to the memory of Key is drag- ging along slowly. Over has been raised for the purpose, but fifteen hundred or two thousand is needed. ROCKVILLE. ‘The political campaign which closes to- day will long be remembered as the quict- est ever held in this county. Since the close of the democratic primary election and the nominating convention of the re- publicans, political affairs appear to have been left to drift along in their own way without any special attention from the leaders. The bad feeling engendered in the democratic ranks by the alleged “shady” practices of the “ring” managers in see-1r- ing the nominees on the legislative ticket is still supposed to exist in all parts of the county, and as election day upproaches this feeling finds expression in ali quarters. That a bad feeling exists no one is left in doubt, but how far this feeling will in- fluence the vote remains to be seen. That some alarm is felt among the leaslers is evi- denced by the fact that during the rast few days a large number of circular letters have been sent out by the chairman of the democratic central committee to persons in each district, urging them to assist jp getting out the party vote. The ladets‘vt that party, however, still zppear to be san- guine of success, althouzh some admit by a reduced majority. The meeting of the re- publican leaders, held here a few days ago, has set at rest the rumor industriously circulated that there was a division in the party, and it is now believed that the full republican vote will be polled. At this Place, for some days past, rumors have been afloat that an effort was being made to corrupt the republican voters by means of bribes and promises oi different kinds, and this matter has recived sume atten- tion from the republican leaders. Under the Australian system of voting it is pos- sible to purchase all the votes that anay be on the market, but the difficulty lies in hav+ ing them delivered according tv contract. Moreover, any vote-buying scheme under. the present sytem would amount to a con- spiracy, as it could not be successfully car- ried out without the connivance und 43- sistance of election officials. ‘The penalties prescribed for such offenses are so severe that it is doubtful whether even the bold- est and most reckless election manipula- tors would undertake such a scheme.

The last regular meeting of the Waverly Club at Gaithersburg was well attended, and was conducted by President Storick. An address on the new liquor law of the District_of Columbia was delivered by Pro- fessor Palmer of Washington. Fine must- cal selections were rendered by Mr. E. W. Walker and Misses Fannie E.

Thompson, formerly of this place, and Miss Anna M. Hodges of Gomus, were married at Barnesville M. E. Church on Wednesday by Rev. R. M. Moore. The church was handsomely decorated for the occasion, and was crowded by the friends of the contracting parties. ‘The new M. E. Church, Rev. D. Wheeler, pastor, was dedicated yesterday. Rev. W. H. Brooks, presiding elder of the Washing- ton district, preached in the morning and at night. Rev. D. W. Hays, D.D., preached the dedicatory sermon at 3 p. m. The at- tendance at each service was large, not- withstanding the inclement weather. The collection amounted to $210. The building is of brick, 50x30, and presents to the eye a very handsome appearance within and on the outside. It cost $2,500, about half of which has been paid by the members and friends since work began on the structure, less than a year ago. Much credit is due the presiding elder and pastor for judictous management and to the people for unstint-'} ed liberality. An Anti-Cigarette Bill Defeated. The Georgia state senate has defeated by a vote of 19 noes to 12 aye the antl-cigar- ette bill about which there has been con- siderable discussion in both branches of the legislature since its meeting last week. The bill as amended and passed in the house prohibited the sale of cigarettes in the state, exept medicated and cubeb cigarettes, which amendment was put on it to enable its pass- age through the house. It was generally argued that this virtually nullified the bill, as under this qualification the sale would practically go on as though no legtsjation had passed. The senate, however, disposed of the whole matter by an adverse vote. —— The peach was originally a poisonous almond.

THE MARBLEHEAD. Crulser's Builders, Says W. H. Stayton, Can Dispose of Her. Im order to learn if there exist valid grounds upon which the Navy Department can deny the right of the Palmer Company to sell the cruiser Marblehead to the Brazil- lan government, a reporter for the New York Times requested an opinion of Attor- ney William H. Stayton of New York. Mr. Stayton was assistant advocate general of the Nevy Department during Secretary Tracy's term of office. Mr. Stayton author- ized the following statement: “There is no doubt in law that a ship- builder has the right to sell an unfinished vessel which he is building under contract with the Navy Department. This right in the shipbuilder is based upon the elemen- tary principle of law that a contract is not binding on one party until it is binding on the other. “If the unfinished vessel belongs to the government so that the shipbuilder has no, right to dispose of it, then conversely it belongs to the government so that the government has no right to reject it, and as by its contracts the government specifi- cally retains the right to reject a vessel after her final completion and trial, it nec- essarily follows that until actual accept- ance title to the vessel has not passed to the government. The government tacitly recognizes this point in another way in its contracts by an insurance clause requiring the shipbuilder to keep the vessels insured during the course of construction, When the vessels become the property of the United States they are no longer insured, but so long they are the property of the builder they are insured. “There has never in this country been {any doubt about. this principle of law. I feel perfectly safe in expressing such an ‘unqualified opinion, for the reason that this subject has been one of much discus- sion, in legal text books. It seems that un- til about 1820 the English courts and the gourts of the United States agreed that where a vessel was built under contract, and partial payments made from time to time, title to the vessel remained in the builder until the final acceptance. About that year, however, the English courts, in what is called the Woods case,decided that, though ordinarily the title to a chattel con- structed under such contracts did not pass until its completion, yet that in the case of a ship it ought to be held that the title to each particular completed part of the ship passed when the partial payment therefor as le. “This doctrine, however, was expressly stated by the court to be an exception to eral rule of law, and the exception ;has been uniformly rejected in this coun- “In Andrews vs. Durant, the highest court'of this state held that it is the gen- eral rule of law that, under a contract for building a vessel, no property vests in the person for whom it is to be built until it is finished and delivered; that the rule is the same where certain portions of the con- tract price are agreed to be paid, and are paid, to the builder at certain specified stages of the work, and where an agent of the person for whom the vessel is to be constructed is to and does superintend and approve the materials and the work; and that, therefore, where A contracted to build for Ba vessel of specified dimensions and’ todeliver it to him complete ona day named, for a specified price, three-fifths of which was to be paid at certain stages of the work and the remaining two-fifths when the vessel was completed and deliver- (ed, anship id material to be in- ‘pected and approved by B’s superintendent the work progressed, no property in the vessel passed to B until efter the tinal completion and acceptance of the vessel, and that A had the right to freely dispose of the vessel after it had been three-fifths completed and the three-fifths of the pur- chase price had been paid. “In another New York case, Merritt vs. Johnson, the vessel was to be paid for in three equal installments as the work pro- gressed, and after one-third of the vessel had been completed and one-third of the contract price paid,it was he!d by the court that ‘the vessel was the property of the builder, and not of the person who engaged it to be constructed.” “The rule of law established by these and cases is well settled in this coun- FY try.” The Marblehead could be made ready for sea in two weeks. —_‘__a Golden Cross Fair. Every evening during last week Golden Cross Hall on Pennsylvania avenue south- east has been the scene of a bright and merry gathering, the event being the grand fair and entertainment given by the St. John’s, Capital and Trinity Commanderies of the United Order of the Golden Cross. ‘The hall was profusely decorated with flags and bunting, the white booths showing up prettily. against the red, white and blue Mecorutions. 7 Florida |” The affair was in charge of an executive} committee: Mr. John N.

G. Pattee, Mr. Everett Phillips, and Mr. Wm. K. Pea- body of the Trinity Commandery, Mr. Ehi chairman; Mr, Newton, secretary, and Mrs. Pattee, treasurer. The young ladies in charge of the various booths were: The Misses Lou and Annie Meechem, candy; Miss Maude Meechem, lemonade; Mrs. M. E. Peabody, orange tree; Mrs. M. J.

Mr. Harry Kaufman secured the large Prize doll at this table. During the evening Miss Lena Pattee contributed sev- eral pretty fancy dances to the program. The fair closed Saturday night, when all articles not disposed of were sold to the highest bidder.

Mieczslaw Barabasz, pastor of Holy Rosary Catholic Church, cor- ner of Eastern avenue and Bethel street, Baltimore, and a portion of his flock, cul- minated in a riot yesterday morning im- mediately before the 10 o'clock mass. The Scenes on the outside of the church were of the most disgraceful character, and not un- til late in the afternon was quiet restored by a squad of police who worked under Ser- geants Black and Ryan. Two policemen were assaulted, but the Polish peace dis- turbers fared better, and none were hurt. Sixteen men and one woman were arrested. While all this disturbance on the street was in progress Father Barabasz sung mass in the church and invoked a blessing on his enemies. The primary cause of the trouble is a dis- like for the rector, originating among a few | dissatisfied members, and fostered until it| has grown into the bitterest hatred. At the) beginning but ten families were concerned, but now the bad feeling has spread until 100 families out of the 700 in the parish are at loggerheads with their pastor. Those people who paid their pew rents were given admission cards to the services yesterday, while the delinquents were left out in the cold. Father Barabasz had made the move to be on the safe side, but shortly before the 1€ o'clock mass trouble broke out and never ceased until the evening service was ended. | Capt. Auld had .taken the precaution to/ send to the scene of trouble Officers Paff and Riefner in citizens’ clothes, and their) presence did much to prevent trouble at the start and to protect John Brzowsky and Joseph Moles, who were stationed at the door by Father Barabasz to keep out all who had no cards of admission. The first scene in the trouble came about when Karolina Pankowska came to the door and attempted to enter. As she had! no card of admission she was promptly re-| fused admission by the ticket takers. Mut- tering threats of vengeance, she stood on the steps. She was told by Sergeant Am-| brose Ryan that she would have to move/ on, as a crowd had begun to collect and there were signs of disturbance. She com- plied with the orders and went away. Fol- lowing came a young man who had no card | of admission. He was told to move on and went across the street, where he was im- mediately surrounded by a crowd of sympa- thizers, who were anxious to talk with him. Se t Ryan went over and told them they would either have to disperse or go into the church. As they had no cards of admission, they went away. Before dispersing, however, many questions w sked in this strain, | “Is this a theater? is this a circus?” but) as they received the reply that the police were there simply to preserve order they left. Presently John Moletski, who had been a member of the church, came along and at- tempted to enter. He was refused admis- sion, and at once went into a rage. He be- gan abusive talk, swearing and disturbing the peace,when Sergeant Ryan ordered Offi- cer Paff to arrest him. Immediately trou- ble began, and Moletski was pushed down the steps by the sergeant, but as he went pulled Officer Paff with him. Then ensued a free fight, and Poles and police rolled over the street together. In the melee Sergeant Ryan had his coat torn off, the strap which held his pistol cut and but for backing up against the tree box would have been roughly handled. Without drawing any weapons and with great presence of mind the officers finally dispersed the crowd and took their prisoner to the station, but a square away. Each man who came to the church door after this who had not a ticket seemed, as if by some preconceived plan, to try to start trouble. This, however, was as quickly broken up by the police. After the hearing of the cases by Justice Maloney the crowd started to leave the sta- tion, when suddenly some one called, “Fight! Fight!” and several men were seen pounding the head of Joseph Moles, one of the ticket takers, as though it were a punching bag. Sergeant Ryan, Officers Paff and Eustace at once made a raid on the crowd and captured John Sominski and Frank Sominski, who were actively engaged in beating the janitor, Moles. They were immediately taken before Justice Maloney and fined $2 and costs each and committed in default. ——__+e+____ ‘Wants to Displace the President. A dangerous crank who wants to displace President Cleveland was arrested at Kansas City yesterday. His name is Elmer E. Raub and he is from Finney, Henry county, Mo. He started from his home with the avowed intention of becoming the President of the United States. “I am going to succeed Cleveland,” he added. “First I shall study politics from the practical point of view and then I shall repre President. Cleveland must give way me. “There are a good many of your class of people in the country now,” suggested the sergeant. “Yes,” responded the crank, “‘and one of us killed a man in Chicago the other day.” Raub is a farmer sixty years of age. He will be sent back to Finney. ——_-o.—___ By a simple rule the length of the day and night, any time of the year, may be ascertained by simply doubling the time of the sun’s rising, which will give the length of the night, and doubling the time of set- ting will give the length of the day. ‘You pay only for the good you get.

The following letter, received Attorney General from a resident of western city, Is a good index of the others: “Thinking over the sad case of the mur- der of Mayor Harrison of Chicago and some other cases that have happened, I thought I would make a suggestion to you. I heard it stated lately that there were 7,000 murders in these states last year and 2,000 brought to justice. I suggest that you or some in your honorable House bring in a legalize lynching for one year would not curtail those m lynchers to be tried for their killed an innocent person. 3 Mosaic code there is not avengers of blood. “Whosoever man's blood, by man shall his shed.’ We cannot improve God's when it became law, not leave Statutes only, but send conspicuous stating the law to every post Union. “If it were in every murderer's mind heart that an outraged community kill him if he would kill—e good many pause and think.

The vacancy in the branch document room of the Department of the Interior caused by the death of John F. Ford con- tinues to be a vacancy. The position is worth $1,600 per annum and is much coveted. The rule which was recently promulgated, that if a clerk importuned the officials, or aided and abetted in their being importun- eda, in his or her interest, such ties would warrant the dismissal of offender, resulted from the fight over office in question.

Mr. Holcombe, who Mr. Daniels, was driven to nightmare, and used to get up in the night and throw bricks at the applicants, The reason for all this is that the office is a sinecure and the officials are supposed fot to know it. It has been vacant for several months and the Interior Department still rests on its foundation. There is nothing to be done, and the > cants are very anxious to do it.
