Robinson and presented by Mrs. Coalson to Rev. Porter'in a few words A Church Dedication An unpretentious, but commodious church, located in an inconspicuous and out of the way corner of the city, was dedicated yesterday. There was a memorial to merit special notice. And yet in many ways it was a ceremony well worthy of pasing comment. The church had been erected by a little band of colored Congregationalists, and the church has been largely performed, by the pastor. Two years ago Mr. Porter, a college graduate and a scholar as well, came to Des Moines to crystalize the colored Congregational movement. He was modest of manner and preprocessing of address. With the encouragement of his friends, the financial backing for a beginning. Then he took off his coat in the old fashioned way and went to work, preaching Sundays and laying a splendid pressed brick wall week days. The bricklayers discovered that he was not a union man and struck. But he was a union man and struck. And the church alone if he had to, it would take a little longer, that was was all. It has been claimed that the segror educated he will not work. Mr. Por- ter has erected a lasting testimony to the fallacy of both claims. It is no reflection on the clergy of Des Moines or Iowa to remark that as preacher and minister there is not a pastor in the state who can duplicate his record. Honored old Bennett Mitchell once dismissed a prayer meeting to haul wood for the fire in the brick kilns where he was burning the brick for his new church. But even he did not pretend to lay walls or to superintend the carpentry of staining floor and bent gallery. MUSCATINE NOTES. The Cotton Anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. B. W.

Expensive Invitations. The latest craze in New York among the very wealthy is an extravagant style of invitation card. Not long ago the wife of a millionaire ordered 200 of these from a local firm and they cost her just $10 each. The cards were made of ivory edged with gold, the guest and hostess being lettered in the guest and one wife, other being hand-painted. Cards at $8 each are quite common. It is not generally known that the small feet of Chinese ladies have commonly but one toe. This is, however, the fact. The great toe of the females of the first rank, and some of the inferior classes also, is the only one left to act with any freedom; the rest are doubled down under the foot in their tenderest infancy, and retained by compressed and tight bandages till they unite with, and are buried in the sole.

A procession of weather-beaten fishermen starts from the shore, each man mounted on the back of a trained horse, during the triangular pursed-shape net, which scoops in the shrimps as it passes over the sands. These fishermen on horseback frequently make hauls of several hunched weight in a single trip. Frozen Meat. Frozen meat will keep any length of time. It undergoes a change, however, and is of the quality of second rate meat after long staying in cold storage. It is thawed by being allowed to stay some hours in a warm atmosphere, never by being put suddenly to the fire. It is useless to attempt the cooking of frozen meat. Thawing must take place first. Useless Advice to Soldiers The London News calls attention to the fact that when the building that is now Wellington barracks, Dublin, was a jail it had the words, "Cease to do Evil—Learn to do Well," chiseled over the gateway. When it became a barracks the authorities, perhaps realizing the uselessness of such advice in some cases, had the words removed. Now Don't Laugh!

Somebody wants to know how the custom of raising the hat to the ladies originated. Glad to oblige.

On the other hand, if the Moslem world does not raise the green flag, then the time has not come for Islam to wage the holy war. Is this perfectly clear? The other day a woman secured a divorce from her husband because he would not speak to her. Now an Indian man secures his liberty because his wife was too silent. Thus is the matrimonial balance maintained. A NEW TRAIN TO LOB ANGELS. The North-Western Line and The Union Patch Put on a Solid Through Train Via Salt Lake Lake Beginning December 17. Sunday, December 17th a solid through train from Chicago to Los Angeles will be placed in service over The Chicago, Union Pacific and North-Western Line and the newly opened Salt Lake Route (S. P., L. A & S. L. R. R.) The train will be electric lighted throughout. The new train will leave the Wells Street Station in Chicago, evi- ring the year at 10 P. M. arriving at Los Angeles at 4:45 P. M. the third day. The equipment is new from the Pullman shops. The electric lighting of the cars in includes beth reading lamps of the most modern design, conveniently placed in each drawing room and section in the sleeping cars. The direction car is brilliantly lighted, with both center and side lamps. The equipment includes one 14 section and drawing room Pullman standard sleeping car, one 12 section and drawing room Pullman standard sleeping car, one Pullman tourist sleeping car, and a composite-observation car, with buff-amelot room and book-lovers Library, through, to Los Angeles without charge. All meals in dining car, a la carte service. The architecture and interior finish of each car presents an unusual richness of effect. The interior decorations are in green and gold, the upholstery is in olive green plush; the woodwork in vermilion mahogany. The dining cars are of the latest design and their equipments is most complete. The best of skiffs, skilled stewards, experienced waiters, and a menu of the highest character, complemented factorially to the most exacting taste. Every provision has been made for the greatest degree of comfort and convenience for all classes of travel. The route of the new train is over the only double track railway between Chicago and the Missouri River, through Council Bluffs, Omaha and Cheyenne to Ogden and Salt Lake City, and directly across southwestern Utah and southern California, passing through San Bernardino, Riverside and Pomona to Los Angeles. This is a new and desirable routing, and secures to the traveler the advantages of the best that can be offered over the pioneer line from Chicago and the enjoyment of new scenes and excellent train service over the new Salt Lake Lake. Many travelers to Southern California will doubtless avail themselves of this routing one way, returning through the San Joaquin Valley or up the Coast Line of the Southern Pacific to San Francisco, and thence east on the Overland Limited. Round trip tourist tickets provide for this variable routing, and also for stopover calls to Lake City and at various California points without any extra charge. The sleeping car diagrams for the new train are now open to the public for reservation of space. "Fisherman's Luck," and Some other uncertain Things, by Henry Van Dyke and printed.

WAS PENDING THREE YEARS Supreme Court Says Jury Must Decide Intent of Brewing Company as to Whether Sale of Liquor Took Place in or Out of State. Des Moines, Dec. 15—An opinion practically in line with the recent C. O. D Liquor decisions of the United States supreme court was handed down yesterday morning by the state supreme court in the case of John Hamilton against the Schlitz-Brewing company, which was appealed from Linn county three years ago. The case has been held under advertisement by the supreme court for eighteen months. Though a reversal is made of the decision of the district court, it is based on errors in the introduction of evidence and not on the method of liquor shipments and sales used by the Schlitz company to evade the Iowa law. The opinion by Associate Justice Bishop drew a distinction, however, between the shipment of liquors C. O. D. and shipments in the name of the brewing company with bills of lading and drafts attached. The state supreme court holds that in the latter case the question of intent as to whether the sale took place in Wisconsin or in Iowa, was for the jury to determine. The lower court had put the company to testify in this regard, which the supreme court holds was in error. Judge Bishop points out that the former decision of the state supreme court, in regard to the C. O. D. liquor cases, which were reserved by the United States supreme court, was written per curiam, and he now goes at length to explain that opinion. The United States supreme court, as will be remembered, recently decided that Liquor brought into the state C. O. D. by express request was under the jurisdiction of interstate commerce laws as an act of delivery, the sale having taken place in another state. It was held that the payment of the C. O. D. charges was a mere incident to the delivery and did not constitute a sale of liquor in this state so as to render the transaction subject to the laws of Iowa. The intent of the parties to the sale as to the place it actually occurred, whether at the brewery in Wisconsin or at the express office in Iowa, was declared to be the state supreme court now supports this view, though holding that he jury should have been permitted to decide as to the intention of the company in taking the bill of lading in the name of its manager and forwarding them endorsed with the draft attached to the bank at Cedar Rapids. In the Cedar Rapids case just reversed, Hamilton was formerly agent or the Schiltz Brewing company and used for the return of $139.35 which the company paid for beer in violation of the Iowa liquor law. The district court jury have a verdict in favor of the brewing company and Hamilton appealed to the supreme court. MAN'S RESIDENCE WHERE HE SLEEPS Des Molles, Dec. 13. "Iowa citizens must vote where they sleep and not where they eat," according to a decision of the supreme court handed down yesterday in the case of Dr. L. Savre of Osage, acquitted on a charge of illegal voting. The ruling permitting the acquittal is reversed and Savre must stand trial. Savre ate two meals in the first ward at Osage and had his office and desk vacated. Savre voted in the first ward, claiming to have legal advice that it was optional with him which ward he selected as his domicile. The supreme court decides three points, that a man's domicile when established must remain until he gets a new home, that a man can have only one domicile, and that neither the intention alone or bodily presence alone fixes the residence for voting put-in. Savre said that where a man sleeps, ordinarily is preponderating evidence of residence in absence of other facts, and that married men save their residence more easily fixed. TOWN OF MASSENA Massena, Dec. 13.—A fire which practically destroyed half of the business district of Massena started at 11:20 last night and caused a loss of $28,000. The cause is unknown but believed to be incendiary, it being the third disastrous fire in one week. The damage in detail follows: Fullerton Lumbur company, total loss, $15,000. J. H. Yarger, hardware store, total loss, $4,000. Mrs. Byrd, restaurant, total loss, $800. Arnold & Cheney, grain office. J. H. Yarger, dry goods and grocery store, partial loss. The fire either started in the lumber yard, the hardware store or the restaurant. When discovered, the three were in flames. The local fire department was unable to cope with the flames, and aid was asked of Atlantic. No means of transportation were at hand and the fire company here occupied the whole effort to cope with the flames from spreading. It was only by heroic effort that the Burlington depot was saved. The roof was partially burned off. The flames swept up one side of the business street, burning everything in their course. Des Moines, Dec. 9. -With the discovery of the details of a dual existence led for nearly a year before his death by the late George R. Griswold, the last chapter in the extraordinary ten days' mystery which so startled Des Moines three months ago has been laid bare. The admissions of Grace Stockman, a pretty young girl of 24 years, concerning the illicit household maintained by Griswold on Ridge street, of which she was known as mistress, and in which he was known as Arthur Stockman, her brother, has added the closing incident to the many startling events of his life which have be come common property since his mysterious death. and bring to light the strongest motive for suicide which has yet been found. For more than a year this dual, dual existence has been a secret, shared during Griswold's lifetime by three peers—himself, Miss Stockman and her sister. For many months he succeeded in maintaining his two house holds, his home on Ingersoll avenue where he lived with his wife and four daughters as George R. Griswold, and his illicit establishment at 214 Ridge street. Since his death the girl, who was his companion for nearly a year, whom he had promised to make his wife as soon as he could secure a divorce, and whose love for him had originally brought her to Des Moines has guarded her secret with jealousy and disgust, but being divulged even during the rigid examination all his affairs, which was made immediately after Griswold's death. On Tuesday night, Sept. 12, when Griswold disappeared so mysterious ly as he was preparing to depart for Omaha on a business trip, he spen: the early hours of the evening at the bedside of Miss Stockman at Mercy Hospital, where he fell ill, just recovering from a very delicate operation. The worries incident to this illness, the strain of the secret which he had carried in his bosom for many months and the financial difficulties in which he was involved at the time and which threatened to divulge his secret, all these factors made him more definite than any which was discovered after his death.

NEBRASKA DIVORCE LAW IS NOT APPLICABLE Council Bluffs, Dec. 10.—After a week of serious meditation, following the hearing of arguments, Justice E. B. Gardiner announced as his decision that the Nebraska divorce law, prohibiting divorced persons from marrying within six months, cannot be made to apply to marriages performed in Iowa. The suit here was a criminal prosecution against Mark A. Sweney for "knowingly marrying the wife of another." Sweney was imprisoned in Council Hall to Zonetta Ball, who had been divorced from R. A. Ball at Omaha less than three months previously. The former husband was the complaining witness. Harry: "When a hen sits on an egg for three weeks and it doesn't hatch, it is spoilt?"

The company offered to pay the tax or 1905, but refused to do the more than that. AILING WOMEN Keep the Kidneys Well and the Kid Keep the Kidneys well and the Knee- neys Will Keep You Well.

An inknocker once had the good fortune to entertain his sovereign, who consumed more other things a couple of eggs, for which he was charged a guinea apiece. "Eggs must be very scarce here," remarked his royal nigness, as he scanned the "No, sire," was the answer, "but kings are." Chun Chun Man, head of a Canton firm employing over ten thousand hands, has been studying American industries. In Philadelphia, apropos of the Chinese awakening, he said: "China has for thousands of years been highly enough civilized to despise war. Her new-born respect for war is not an unmixed good. There is, perhaps, a little of degeneration, of barbarism, in it. But at least China will no longer be the laughing stock of nations more warlike than herself. It will no longer be possible to say of her, as a Chinese general once explained a defeat with the follo- ws of the war. It is unaware that guns could not be fired against an object behind them, came upon us from the rear and thus rendered all our cannon useless." As the fearless white man entered the kraal of the native king, a salute was sounded on a drum of serpent skin, and six warriors with necklaces of human teeth rattling about their throats, led him before a rough ivory dias, on which sat a majestic and formidable figure. "Hall," said the white man. And without loss of time, he took out one of his brass watches, wound it up and showed its works to the dusky monarch. "This marvel," he said, "I will give your majesty, making you the envy of all man, and after a moment's study of seventy pounds' weight each. The king took the watch, produced a monocle from a pouch hidden in his shield, and, after a moment's study of the brass trinket, returned it with a languid smile. "Last year," he added, "in London, I exchanged an old wood- war-club for a bushel of these things, and, by Jove, there wasn't one of them that ran above a week." A BRAIN WORKER. Must Have the Kind of Food That Nourishes Brain. "I am a literary man whose nervous energy is a great part of my stock in trade, and ordinarily I have little patience with breakfast foods and the extravagant claims made of them. But I cannot withhold my acknowledgement of the debt that I owe to Grape Nuts food. "I discovered long ago that the very bulkiness of the ordinary diet was not calculated to give one a clear head, the power of sustained, accurate thinking. I always felt heavy and sluggish in mind as well as body after eating the ordinary meal, which diverted the blood from the brain to the digestive system. "I tried foods easy of digestion, but found them usually deficient in nutrition. I experimented with many breakfast foods and they, too, proved unsatisfactory, till I reached Grape Nuts. And then the problem was solved. "Grape-Nuts agreed with me perfectly from the beginning, satisfying my needs and supplying the nutrient that so many other prepared foods lack. "I had not been using it very long before I found that I was turning out an unusual quantity and quality of work. Continued use has demonstrated to my entire satisfaction that Grape-Nuts food contains all the elements needed by the brain and nervous system of the hard working public writer."

THE WEEK IN CONGRESS Washington, Dec. 11—Senate—With spirited debates on the subject of railroad rate legislation, arising through the introduction or a bill by Mr. Tillman to authorize the interstate commerce commission to fix maximum rates, and the Panama canal, due to a controversy over the reference of the emergency appropriation bill to a committee, today's session of the senate continuously proves interesting for more than four hours. An adjournment was taken without a mention of the late Senator Mitchell of Oregon, and so for the first time the death of a senator was permitted to pass unnoticed by the senate. The measure of Mr. Mitchell's name from the rolls follows. House—Mr. Williams, the minority leader of the house, "stepped on the old" today just in time to prevent revelations in the nature of open criticism of the committee assignments of certain of his colleagues for which he responded. Mr. Williams, a rebel leader, naively suggested a way by which the revelations might be made, but Mr. Williams assumed all responsibility and "declined to allow the washing of democratic Iran for the amusement of the republicans." Washington, Dec. 14.—Senate—A number of private bills were introduced in the open session, and Mr. Allison presented the report of the committee on appropriations on the Panama canal bill. A communication from Secretary Shaw regarding campaign contributions by national banks was read. The secretary enclosed a letter from the controversy bank, lying about the reports of bank inspectors reveal only a few small contributions in the last fourteen years. House - The entire time was taken House - the debate and nothing was published. Washington, Dec. 14.-Senate-The senate spent four hours today in discussing the Panama canal emergency appropriation bill, and when it adjourned the bill was still under consideration. There were set speeches by Messrs. Teller, Scott and Morgan and they were followed by a general debate, in which all phases of the question were discussed, the question of salaries, the control of the Panama railroad and the necessity for general legislation on the canal subject. Mr. Allison, chairman of the committee on appropriations, expressed the opinion that congress should take up the question on salaries in connection with other canal legislation. He also said that the status of the Panama railroad had been made the subject of legislation. He also said that the president's message regarding insurance regulation, occupied the house-today without a conclusion. The pending resolution refers the question to the ways and means committee, and in its defense, Mr. Payne, chairman, made the argument that the only way congress could control insurance was through the taxing power. To this many objections were raised, and the president did not afford to take the position that the only way it could control insurance was through taxing; it that should resolutely pursue other methods of control until some way was found which would be effective.
