Heiirlilch iietn 300 Damasei The Village Election lu llaneork 41 ready Talked A boat-Other Twlsi lly News. Judge Hubbeli yesterday ordered an extra panel of jurymen to be etruck. an tieipatiug that difficulty would be had in securing a trial jury in the chemical case, However, the jury was secured without any delay, only three being excused from service and no peremptory challenge being used and the special panel was set aside. 1 he case, Mrs. Auguste Schoeppe vs the Hancock Chemical Co., was com uiruifu m o ciocK ana is mill in pro gress. Dan II. BmII and J. F. Hambitrer represent the plaintiff, and Judge C. R Brown nnd A. R. Gray are for the de fendant. The jury is as follows: William Brewer, Dolphice Brunelle, W. E. Carpen ter, ThotnaB Payne, William McLeod, Ed ward Wilkinson, Henry Sarasin, John Miller, Frank Major, W. T. Gray, Clovis Torangeau and William McDonald. Mrs. Schoepper sues for damages on ac count of the death of her husband, Fred Schoepper, by the explosion of May 16 last. The plaintiff's case, aa stated in Mr. Ball's opening to thejury, is that the explosion was caused by neglect of the company in using a rubber hose to con vey the unwashed compound of acid r nd glycerine from the mixing bouse to the wash house, which method of conyeying the plaintiff will try to prove was an ex periment. The plaintiff also alleges that the company was negligent in employing unskilled labor. The result of the case will be interesting, as it is the first dam age case against a corporation in the county in a long time. While the result may be of interest, the details of the case are the opposite, for it abounds In testi mony of a technical character, and the attorneys have become almost expert in chemical knowledge in working up the testimony. ine lamons case oi Jonn liencnicn va William Anderson, nction brought to re cover damages for trespass, was ended in the circuit court yesterday afternoon. The land in dispute was a strip twenty six inches wide frontage between lota 10 and 9, block 1 8, Red Jacket. A former dispute between the village and Mr. An derson as to the occupancy of an alley between their lots was settled by the vil lage withdrawing their claim. In the 20 inch strip Mr. Anderson claimed title from undisputed possession for over fif teen years while the plaintiff, Bcnchich, has a deed including the strip and denied that the Andersons ever occupied the dis puted strip. The case was fought with the energy which the Andersons have al ways displayed in their controversies with the village. The value of the strip was not so much ns the damages claimed from the trespass, the sum of S550. The iiry was out but half an hour, returning a verdict for the plaintiff with damages at $300. Prof. Louis Favour's chemical and el ectrical entertainment in the Y. M. C. A. auditorium last evening waa grand. A more pleased audience would be bard to find. The large ptage was well filled with apparatus used by the professor to in struct and delight the large audience, Many expressions of desire to hear him again were heard as the peoplo left the hall.

HOME DRESSMAKING. Some nints About Making- Bodices How to Cut and ltaato. In cutting out tho pieces of a bodice lt ahould be romem bored thut the waist line should always run with the cross thread of the goods unless the garment is to be made of bias material, as sometimes In the case of plaids. Gathered and dmpra ;jdicos are made over a carefully fitted lining, the seams of which, exoept on tho shoulder and under tbe arm, are sewod before tbe outside goods' are arranged upon It. whore chiffon or DIXXER BODICE. other sheer material 1 to be draped over fcllk the silk bodice i.t completed first, be ing lined and fitted and completely sewod, and tbe chiffon is afterward applied. Too lurgo a needlo 1m often used for ina- hlno stitching. This cut the lining and nmkes a conspicuous seam. A fine needlo is to be preferred, and the scams of a bodice should be stitched with sewing silk, luHtead of cotton. All scams must be carefully basted be fore they nro sewed. A skillful dress maker knows that tbe perfection of a bodlco depends largely upon the basting nut only of tho seams, but of the lining to the outside goods. The lining must al ways be a trifle fuller than tho outside, so that the latter will bo stretched a little. This obviates wrinkles. A strong and iionclnstlo lining should be usod, but lt must be thin and not stiff. Silk Is of course tbe best, but iercnlino of the best quality la also good. Silesia Is no apt to strutcb that lt Is unreliable and should not bo used. Stiff, thick whalebone ought never to bo employed, tor It Is Intractable and adds considerably to tho slzo of the waist.

Well, It is thought, might we follow the example set us by our American cousins In the naming of our ships of war. The result of many of the new shins of the United States navy receiving tbe names of American towns, It Is observed, has been that tho Inhabitants of those towns are taking tho liveliest tuterest iu the ships, their officers and crews and In all their doings. In some cases the towns have gone so far as to present the ships bearing their names with haudaoine serv ices of plate for the ofBcera' ?ne. O ir nval authorities, It Issirongly f-jlt, tnla.it do worse than to stimulate tho Intercut of some of our greut Inland towns In the navy by bestowing their names on ships, instead of, as sometimes Is thecne, fltlna upon such as mrry ho particular Interest or meaning.

Htory rBlllee Taylor." The story of tbe nautical comic opera. "Billee Taylor," ia founded on the old aong of "Billee Taylor," a well known English nautical ditty. Tbe time of the action ia 1805-6, when. during the Napoleonic ware, tbe press gang waa ia fully away. The first act opena in tbe village of. Southampton, at the old inn of tbe Royal George. Tbe villagers have met to rejoice over the ap proaching wedding of Billee Taylor (W. II. Can pel) and Phoebe. (Miss Liz zie Yaucb.) a charity girl. There is also an heiress, Arabella l-ane, (Mta Flor ence Osborn,) who Is in love with Billee. Her father, Sir Mincing Lane, (Mr. Albert Engatrom,) a kind hearted old gentle man, ot the self-made-man type, ia going to give the villagers a feast at Billee'a wedding. He Invites bis friend, Captain Flapper, R. N., (F. II. Oates,) to join tbe festivities. The captain falls in love with Phoebe at first sight, and tows that she ahall not marry Billee. A schoolmaster, Christopher Crab, (W. R. Oates,) is also in love with Phoebe. Among Captain Flapper's crew ia Ben Barnacle, (S. Mue- tonen,) a bold boatswain, who haa gone to sea on account of bis love forEl za Dabsey, (Misa Iva Stevens,) who haa for saken him for another lover. He ia or dered by Captain Flapper to bring his press-gang and carry Billee off to aea. During the festivities preceding the wedding, thia plan ia carried out, and Billee is taken away and put on board a man-of-war. Tbe second act opens (two yeara hay in; elapsed) with ita scene laid in Ports mouth harbor. The man-of-war Tbun- derbomb haa juat come into port after a successful cruise of two yeara, and the in habitants are welcoming the sailors borne. All of the charity girls, among whom la Phoebe, have followed Billee to aea disguised aa sailors. Billee in tbe meantime ban risen to tbe rank of lieuten ant, through some seeming act of brav ery. Sir Mincing Lane haa become a commander in tbe volunteers, and Phoebe, who ia disguised and known as Richard Carr, ia about to enlist in hla company, when Barnacle interferes, and there is a quarrel between the eol tiers and sailor. Captain Flapper stoi tbe fight. Crab, who haa also been pressed Into the nayy because Captain Flapper does not esteem his accomplice, ia now Flapper'a rival for Phoebe'a hand. He tells Phoebe that BUlee haa lost all hla lore for her, and ia going to marry Misa Arabella Lane. She flrrs a pistol at Ara bella and BiUea, whom she finds ia com- Highest of all in Leavening Power Latest U. S. Gov't Report rV fl fiMfe pany, and Flapper orders that she be shot. She then makes herself known and Captain Flapper wina her hand. Billee'a bravery ia shown to have been u mere ac cident, and be ia disrated, Phoebe being appointed to fill his place. Billee, how ever, marries the love-lorn maiden, Ara bella, while Eliza (who is now a widow) and Barnacle conclude to sail through life together. Anothercharitygirl.Sustn, (Miss Mary Etbier) takes quite a promi nent part in the play. The opera is brimful of sparkling music, somewhat in F. Von Suppe'a a ndS. Offen bach 'a happiest vein. The dialogue abounds in funny sayings and tbe choruses are very fioe, there being a chorus of yillagers, charity girls, sailor girls, man-of-war men, and voluateers, who go through a comic drill, etc. The opera will be produced for sweet charity's sake by a cast of forty-five peo ple, representing the very beet vocal and drumatic talent. During tbe past eight week's, Prof. Von 1adz has untiringly re hearsed every part of the opera, and the production which takes place on Tues day and Wednesday, February 4 and 5, ought to be witnessed by crowded bouses.

Christ's Mays of winning son Is is tbe general topic for study during February. Our work is to win men to Him. Iu no other way cau we so well learn bow to do this work aa by studying Ilia own method. He declared, "And I, if I be lifted up, will draw all men unto Me," We are to rely not upon our own elo quence cr jxr6uaiveiies., not upon pe culiar methods nnd artintio attractions, but upon tho substantial troth which can become oro foundations for a soul's salvation. In all this work recognition must be had of the power lcsDe-s cf all human effort iu itself. The divine Spirit must take tho thing of God arjd im press them as a heal upon tbe heart cf the tinner, or there will be no change cf life from evil to good. Tbii abiding power and presence of tho Holy Spirit in promised eTery true and devoted worker for Christ. Skill iu the use of the apjioiuted means cf al vatiou can be acquired by tho woikera. This is a legitimate subject of atudr. How did Christ do? What would He do in a case like the present one? Earnest deiro to know His mind and pen-istent seeking to acquire His methods will not fail to make one more efficient in reach ing and influencing men. This work cannot be delegated to oth ers. Angels could not do tbe work of God iu saving men. The more proclama tion cf God's will and law never moves any one to do it. By the law is tho knowledge of ein, and as men realin their contrariness to God's nature they naturally hate His rule. Angela might bring the law, but conld never Rive graco to the human heart. Josus when He conies brings lifeund immortality to light, less by what He said than by what He was and what He did. He not only told men of tho love of God, but Ho loved men as God, and love awakened answering love. Law never can have Kuch re.-pcu.?c. Angels never knew tho depths of love divine, and so could nev er reveal it. Only souls that know th divine compassion and sympathy are fit ted to save men to God. This is tho rea son thut those gilu-d with little cf earthly learning ur culture, but pohscskhI of souls aflame with earnest love of meu and God, have often boen tho most suc cessful evangelists. They touch meu and awaken them to a better life. So Christ sought out men. He became like them that He might make them like Himself. Boyhood Home ot Wesley. Deeply interesting to all who admiro the good and love tho true must ever be tbe home where Susannah Wesley gave such careful training in early years to the "littlo Jackey" who in after time was destined to be so influential in the advancement of true piety. The view given above shows the window, jast above th right band gttepost and al- ipwonTH nzcronr. most hidden by ivy, from which the boy is said to have been rescued when the old rectory waa burned. It probably cor responds to the window in the former house. That one, which was built "all cf timber and plaister aud covered all with etraw thatche," was dostroyod by fire Feb 9, 1709. The present edifice was erected in 1710 by Rev. Samuel Wesley, tho father of John. None of the children was born in the present rec tory. Charles was the last one born in the old one, Kezia, the nineteenth child, was born in the house of a neigh bor a month after the fire.

Mauy of the methods most employed by tbe workers among the poor at the present time were used if not originat ed by John Wesley in his work. At the old foundry in Moorfields, London, be established a loan fund from which the pocr could be assisted and so saved from pawning their goods and paying exorbi tant rates of interest. Sucb fundi are among the most recent moans used by the reform workers in our great cities. If this work had teen kept up among Methodists and enlarged to meet tbe seeds of tbe times, it would bave pre vented the rise of a host of so called benevolent insurance organizations which have proved so detrimental to tbe interests of the people, consuming time for unnecessary meetings and squander ing large sums of money on visionary schemes.
