On Monday evening, a little before 11 o'clock, tho Fell township munici pal building was found to bo on fire. Tho blaze was discovered on the ground lloor of the building. The alarm was quickly sounded and the Mitchell Hose company responded nt once, but before they arrived the building wns almost entirely destroyed. A bucket brigade was at once formed In order to save, If possible, the adjacent build ings, but It was not possible to get much force for the stream of water. Tho night proved to be calm, without much wind, so that the row of com pany buildings weru saved. The fire appears to have been tho, work of an incendiary, for no lire had been kindled this season In the building nnd there is no probability that it was accidental. The building had an Insurance In the Brldgott ngency for $1,&00, but the loss will be much greater. Tho building was erected at a cost of $1,700. The furniture was also destroyed and some valuable papers belonging to the super visors and to Justice Glenn. SURPRISE PARTY. A number of friends surprised Mr. nnd Mrs. T. L.

Great Lawyer What's tho mutter, aid man? His Pirtiicr (excltedly)-Our reputation Is ruined. Borne Idiot has washed the windows. New York Journal. t;iti:uM!Y's iianuwiutinc. How its lllrulbtllty WnR Turned to Account by a Malinger of n Country I'nlr. From tho Sun, Every compositor who ever put In type any of Horace Greeley's copy will certify to tho fact that his hnndwrlt Ing was almost Illegible. It was tho despair of the composing room, and oven Greeley himself couldn't always decipher It. A man who was many yearn ago president of the Oswego County Agricultural association, snld several daya ago that he had good reason on one occasion to be thankful that Mr. Greeley's writing was hard to decipher. This fact Hecured for him a. star attraction at the fair which uu could not have obtained otherwise. The association of which ho was presi dent mudo a great effort ench year to outdo rival associations In Its fair, and ono of Its regular attractions was a distinguished speaker who delivered an address to the crowd on any sub ject, that he might select. "When I was made president," snld the ex-olllcer of the association, "I was young and ambitious. I wanted to give tho best fair that ever had been held at Oswego Falls, and 1 was will ing to work hard to accomplish such a result. Long beforehand I stirred up the farmers to raise big squashes and pumpkins, and I prepared tv good schedule of horso rnces. I secured a man to make a balloon nscentlon, and nil that was lacking In my programme wns the speaker. At that time Mr. Greeley was the most conspicuous man in tho United States. Wo all wanted to see him and hear him speak. He was a very busy nian.how ever, and I knew that we had about ono chance In ten of securing hlni. I determined to take that chance. After much preliminary thought and many consultations with others, I prepared and sent to him a very creditable In vitation to attend our fair nnd deliver an nddreFH on any subject that he chose. I assured him that ho would find only friends In his audience, and I said that -f had long looked for such nn opportunity to hear him. Two days later tho village postmaster told mo that he had a letter that he thought wos nddressed to me. I hnd heard a. good deal about Greeley's handwriting, nnd 1 knew nt once that this was my reply from Mr. Greeley. When I opened the envelop I found a sheet of paper on which were Irregu lar pcmwls that. I couldn't decipher. With several of my friends I puzzled over It a long time, but I couldn't read It. I remembered that the editor of our paper had at one time be?n famil iar with Mr. Greeley's handwriting, nnd I took the letter to him. He was a little out of practice, but ho deciphered It nfter half nn houh's examination. Mr. Greeley regrettel that ho was un able to accept our Invitation. That was a great disappointment to me. I thought It over, and suddenly It dawned on me Uint there was Just a chance that I might by strategy get Mr. Greeley to Oswego Falls after all. I sent him another letter that must have staggerPil hlni. Mr. Greeley wns well aware of the fact that his wri.- Ing was almost Illegible, and lie was never much surprised when his letters wore misconstrued. I simply took ad vantage of that, and In my second let ter I thanked him for accepting our invitation. To leave him no loophole for escape. I told him tha. we had be gun to distribute handbills announcing the fact that he was going to deliver the address nt the fair, and I added that I had ordered the prlnteis to place his name In big letters on our three-sheet posters. I knew that when Ik- got my letter he would conclude that wo had read Ills letter declining the Invitation as a letter of accept unce.nnd 1 hoped when lie learned how far we hud gone with our printing that h would conclude to come. Wo received no reply from Mr. Greeley, but from time to time we sent him our posters nnd information about the fair and the town. A week before the day set for the address we sent him a time table and told him on what train wo should look for him. I was uneasy all this time, because I knew that if Mr. Greeley didn't turn up I should be blamed. When the day for the great event arrived I went to the sta tion to await the train. Sure enough, Mr. Greeley was on board. I Introduc td myself to him as the man who hnd sent him the Invitation and who hnd received his very kind acceptance. Mr. Greeley looked nt me closely and there was a suspicion of a smile on his face. " 'You had no difficulty In reading my letter?' ho said. " 'Well it was a little hard to deci pher it at first,' 1 replied, 'and w were in doubt for a few minutes whether you had said "Yes" or "No" to our in vitation. When we did decipher the letter we were very much pleased to find that you had agreed to come.' "'Humph!' said Mr. Greeley expres ulvely. 'You ordered your posters at once, didn't you?' " 'Yes,' I replied, 'we wanted every one to know what an attraction we had to offer,' ".Mr. Greeley again looked at me closely as If he were a bit suspicloun. Ho delivered the address, and the largest crowd In the history of the as sociation heard him. Whether or not he suspected tho trick I had played on blm I never discovered. Ho Intimated to ono of my friends that lie had his suspicions, and lie mnde the remark that I would make an excellent poli tician. That was his only comment. 1 still have Mr. Greeley's letter, and any one who will examine it will see how easily it might have been mis taken for an acceptance." MACON'S MI'XCIIMI, FAIUI. A tJnorgin Town Which Rniscs I'orngo lor It Stock. From tho Macon Telegraph. It Is not generally known, but never theless It 15 true, that thu city of Ma con runs ono of the most profitable lit tle farms In the state of Georula. It covers sixty acres and Is planted in a single crop oats. All tho land inclosed by the mllo track Is planted In this cer eal, nnd pome twenty or so acres In ad dition are under cultivation. The crop this penson Is nearly ready to cut, and something like 2.&00 bushels will bo tho result. The harvesters will start to work before thu end of tho month. These oats would cost the city not less than $750 It thoy had to bo nought. This Is not all, for two cuttings of hay will bo made from this pamo land, which Mr. W. Leo Ellis, who Is In charge, estimates will produce some thing; like 3.500 lxal3s, which would cost the municipality easily $3,000. Tho city has more stock to feed than is generally considered. Taking tho fire deimrtment, tho eanltary squad, tho street forca and nil, not less than fifty mules and horses must be fed by tho city, and all of this provender, raised under fanner Leo Ellis's supervision Is a direct saving. Mr. Ellis, In speaking of the matter, says: "The cost of operating the farm Is practically nothing, except for labor, needed In plowing, planting, and har vesting. The stock must bo kept any- way, and, with the number needed to do tho city's work, all that Is necessary In tho cultivation of tho crops we raiso can bo done when tho animals would bo Idle If not thus employed. Wo use nil the fertilizer mado by tho city Btock Outside of that wo hav spent this year Just $U for the commercial urtlcle." From a measured acre of tho city land last year there was out nt n tlrglc cutting 5,400 pounds of fine hay. This was after a forty- bushel crop of ontt: had been harvested, and early cnou-rli to make certain another cutting of liny before frost. Up to tho tlmo that .Mr. Ellis began to cultivate thu city's farming land It had been tho custom to rent it out for $5 an acre. Its annual product now la estimated at ovr $c0 an acre. NKAL DOW AM) HIS LAW. Tho Last Interview with the Advocate oT Prohibition. Boston Letter, In tho Sun, What was probably tho hist Inter view between N'eul Dow and a news paper man occurred last summer. Un til now nothing hns been printed about It. General Dow was confined to tho house, and, Indeed, almost to his bed from then until the day of his death. The prohibition of the sale and manu facture of Intoxicating liquors had been advocated by him for forty-seven years, and he looked back on what he and his coadjutors had done with feel ings of satisfaction, limited only by the reflection that the sale of liquor has not been entirely stopped in the state of Main. General Dow said that there would not bo a drop or liquor mnde or sold In this country if the church mem bers did their duty and voted against tho trnino as strongly as they talked against It, A year or two ago he created a sensation at a Methodist camp meeting In Massachusetts by de claring that It was tho church people of thin country who were responsible for a continuance of the liquor traf lie rather than thu men engaged In It. "If all the church members," he snld, "would vote and work for prohibition, the liquor business would bo driven out of existence; but this they will not do, nnil they continue to vote with either tho Republican or the Demo cratic party, and n the managers of both these pnrtles are Irretrievably pledged to encourage the liquor Inter ests as a matter of political necessity, there is nothing to be hoped for In either of these directions." For the reason that the church peo ple will not cut loose from the old parties nnd vote as their convictions Indicated, he su'd. he did not hold membership in any church organiza tion and would not, so long n the church members professed to oe against the liquor traffic and at the same time voted to continue It. When General Dow was asked If he knew that liquor was being sold openly right In his own city of Portland, he said regretfully: "Yes. I know It, but I think the evil hns been reduced to tho minimum, and it Is not the fault to the ofllceis of the law or the law Itself that It is per mitted. In spite of all that has be n said to the contrary, .the prohibitory law of Maine is a success; but It Is not perfect " Then he went on to relate how lie first became Interested in the prohibi tion movement. In 1S50, when he was mayor of Portland, he had u neighbor who wns employed by the- government In a lucrative olllee. The man had a large family, and. In th? main, was a good provider, but was addicted to go ing off on long-continued spices, during which he would neglect both his, busi ness and his family. Finally the man was about to lose his office, and his wife ennu- to Gmeral Dow and told him that she had been to th- saloon keepers to ask them not to sell her husband any moif liquor, and that tho principal offender hud refused to stop selling to liitu. General Dow agreed to r.o the j-aloonkeeper and ask hlni If he would not reconsider his decision. "This man," said General Dow, "treated mo with scant courtesy. He said that ho paid Ills money to the city for the privilege of selling liquor, anil that ho would continue to s.ll It to the man under consideration as long as ho had money to pay for It. It made no difference to liini, lie said, what became of the man's family; that part of it was none of his business. I told blm that if it were possible I would stop tln sale of liquor In the state of Maine, not only by hiin, but ny everybody else, and I staited out light there and then to do It." "I begnn makintr temperance speeches, and I not only made them at home, here In Portland, but I drove all through the state addressing the people on the subject and getting re cruits to nld mo In the crusade. By the following year, ISM, we had arou d such a public feeling on the matter In the .state that two days before the leg islature adjourned we went to Augusta with a prohibitory bill and got It passed by both ranches. Tho bill pass-d the senute by a vote of 13 to 10 and the house by a vote of SG to 40. I did not relax my efforts In the matter, and al though many attempts were made to have the law repealtd they were thwarted, and in lbS3, nfter the peo ple had had nearly thirty-three years of prohibitory law, they were in a state of mind to vote for a prohibitory, amendment to thip state constitution and they carried it by a majority of 4",07u. In 1S93 some people here thought that the law had become so unsavory that the amendment to the constitu tion could be repealed, and tho Dem ocrats adopted a liquor policy In the state election. This election was for tho purpose of choosing thirty-one sen ators and IS1 representatives to the stato legislature. The Democrats failed to elect a single senator, and succeed ed in electing but five representatives "Before the prohibitory law was en acted in 1S51 there wore thirty-five dis tilleries In Maine, and of these two wero located in Portland. Now there is not a distillery or a brewery in the entlro state. Such liquor as conies into tho stato has to be smuggled In It is not too much to say that not one hundredth ns much liquor la sold in the stato of Maine as there was before mo juonioiiory jaw went into effect and this, too, with a largely lncreasid population. The law Li still defective In many ways, for when a man Is con victed of selling liquor the Judges have considerable latitude In Imposing sent ence, and no doubt there an? some Judges on the be-nch who have been elected by .the liquor Influence for tho very purpose of Inflicting light fines or suspending sentences. As I drew tho original law. the Judges had no dls cretlon In tho matter, but were obliged o sentenco n convicted rumseller to both tine and Imprisonment. Before tho prohibitory law went into effect the stato or Mulne waa the poorest B"J'1 "ho Unlon' We nw have over GOO.000 population, and although as re gards population Ohio and Illinois are over live times aB largo us we are, we have twice ua many savings banks as these two states, and If ,tho money In tho savings banks In all three of tho stateu wan to be divided pro rata,- each person In Ohio would receive $G, in Illinois, S, while In Mnlnc he woutd receive nbout $90. Prohibition Is win ning all the time and the outlook In this stato Is most hopeful."

One of the most Important offlclnls In every large hotel nnd restaurant In tho city, says tho New York Telegram, Is known ns tho "coffee man." His solo duty consists In buying, blending and making the gallons of coffee that arc consumed dally by the guests. He is very npt to have pronounced Ideas re garding blends and mixtures, but his fad par excellence Is the particular kind of coffee pot or urn to bo used In concocting tho beverage. The views of tho Waldorf coffee man differ from those of the superintendent of tho Imperial; at the Fifth avenue nnother blend and another mode of compounding are ndopted, while at the Arena tha method of coffee making Is peculiarly their own. At the Waldorf the blend favored for breakfast coffee Is two-thirds of a pound of Mocha to one-third of Java. The Waldorf Coffee man does not favor coffee that Is finely ground, but soaks t In cold water for a full hour before It Is put in thi large sieves of the countless huge silver urns of the establishment. For breakfast he uses about one pound of coffee to live quarts of water; this Is poured through tit? sieve and strainers, which arc arranged In the urns In the regula tion French coffee l.ot fashion, four times. Tho result Is n clear, amler colorcd liquor of excellent flavor and strength. For the after-dlnnur coffee ho prefers a blend that Is composed of rather more Java than Mocha, and but four quarts: of water are allowed to the pound. The process of making Is the same. At tho Vrcua coffve Js made on the tables In Viennese coffee pots, by what H known ns tho steaming process. There th" mixture consists of equal parts of Mocha nnd Java. About one ounce Is allowed to each Individual pot. Thl; pots themselves are quaint look ing tiffairs of hammered brass, porce Hln lln.-'d. and with glass lops. Under neath Is swung a imnll spirit lamp. In the body of tho pot Is plnced a Rulilcient quantity of cold water, while tho al lotted ounce of Mocha and Java Is put, perfectly dry nnd very finely ground, In the glass top. Wh n the water bolls the steam slowly ascends through a tube, and, os It permeates the dry cof fee drop by drop, the pure coffee es sence falls Into a receiv-r, with the re sult that a perfectly pure, full-flavored coffee of the fullest strength is ob tained. Tills process is also used by many of the quaint restaurants af fected by th'' foreign element, but the coffee used Is the strong, black blend popularly known ns Turkish. Russian coffee Is also made .In the Viennese pots. The mixture consists of equal paits of Rio, Mocha and Java, to which has been ndded a tab -spoonful of dark In-own sugar, a tablespoonful jf rum and a liquor glass of kummel. At both the Imperial and the Fifth avenue the Mocha und Java mixture Is favored, but nt these hotels both French and Viennese pots ar tabooed, and the nhl-fahioned methods of xtrulnlng the coffee through a tlannel bag prevails.
