In- crrnnlnR AX'orkltiK Cnpnclty or TclcKrniih Wire * . The water power electric light and power plant of Ogden , Utah , which has been under construction tor a year or more , was set In motion on the 22d of May without any public ceremony , usual on such occasions. The event , however , was one of much Im portance to the gateway of the mountain region , marking the Inception of an Institu tion destined to play an Important part In the Industrial development of Ogden and Salt Lake City. The plant Is said to be second only to Niagara. U Is located at the mouth of Ogden canyon. Just within the eastern boundary of the city. The eastern end of the plpo line which conducts the water to the power he-use Is about seven miles up the river. At present the water Is raised to the level of the plpo line by a temporary dam. The excavations for this pipe line were necessarily slow , having to be made along the face ot steep cliffs , through masses of rock or shale , while In other places chasms had to bc.J panned with steel bridges espe cially constructed for the pipe. In all there are six bridges and about l.COO tcot of tunneling In the seven miles of excavation. The plpo Is about six feet two Inches In diameter , so that a. man can walk upright In It nearly the whole seven miles. The first six miles of piping H ot wood. A mill was constructed at the mouth of the canyon for planing , grooving and other- wlso preparing the staves of the wood pipe. The staves are of Oregon fir and have been dipped In preservative preparation of maltha , as have also the Iron hoops which encircle the six-mile long barrel every few Inches. The pipe Is so constructed as to have few Joints and these are strengthened by steel or Iron bands. About a mile east of the power house the 'stoel plpo begins. This was made In shops specially constructed for the purpose near the mouth of the canyon. Tha steel came In great sheets , weighing all the way from 1.000 to 5,400 pounds. They were about 8x18 feet and In thickness varied from three- sixteenths to eleven-sixteenths ot an Inch. The plates were punched , each plate being necessarily prepared with nearly 400 rivet holes. Next they were rolled Into cylindrical form and tested so as to insure their with standing enormous pressure. Each section was dipped Into a seething preparation ol maltha before being transported to the ditch , where all werj riveted by a Pogrom riveter , The whole forms a continuous steel cyllndei nearly a mile In length. A little distance from the power house the plpo splits Into a V. the water flowing into each part and running to the wheels on either side of tne power house. The K power house Is fitted to receive ten Peltoti wheels , each ono attached to a generator , capable of generating 1,000-horso power. The mechanism Involved In this Includes the water wheel , two fly wheels and one generator. These aggregate sixteen tons In weight. The > generator makes 300 revolu tions a minute. In the power house at pres ent only five such generators are In place , with their attendant pieces ot machinery. The other Ilvo will be put In place as needed. POSSIBILITIES OF THE PLANT. The pipe line la constructed with reference to a power house capable of generating 20,000-horso power , and ns the demand In creases another power house , the counter part of the present ono , Is to be constructed , Terr thousand horse-power can be generated without the construction of a reservoir now planned. The construction of the reservol : will necessitate a big masonry 'lam to span the Ogden canyon , backing the water ur Into a valley covering about 1,600 acres. The construction of this reservoir , however , would give the company the right to use the water thus stored for Irrigation pur poses after It had parsed tarjugh the power house. The company owns 18,000 acres ol arid lands , about halt of a fertile tract tc the west of the county which the construc tion of this reservoir would urmg under cul tivation. A contract for the construction of this dam was all but let , but has been . postponed for u time. It will coat aboul / $250,000. During the coming summer a masonrj dam from bedrock to the bed of the rivet will be constructed simply to prevent lost of water by percolation. This will give thi company water enough to generate 10,000- borse power , even In ths drycat season ol the drycst year. A polo line for the transmission of 10,000- horse power to Salt Lake , thirty-five mlUi away , has been constructed and -wires foi transmitting 2.000-horsu power _ are alreadj etrung. To deliver 2,000-horso power In Sal Lake It Is estimated that 2,250-bor e powei will have to be started , 250-horse powei being lost in transmission. Five thousand- terse power Is already contracted for 01 as good as contracted for , whllt manufactories in prospect are expected tc econ create the demand for the entire ca pacity of the plant. A railway line betweei Ogden and Salt Lake , thirty-seven miles. Is projected , the company already being incor purated , Tha project of constructing this greal power plant waa under discussion for a num bcr ot years and sever.il unsuccessful at tempts at Its construction , were made. C. K Bannister drew plans and flnJlly Interestei capital In the enterprise. The leaders of thi Mormon church Interested themselves In It ai port of the church policy to develop hour industry.

Another Invei tlon has appeared for In creasing the speed of telegraphing. Thi ! system , the Welny-Phllllps , does not com pete In speed with that recently exploited b ] Prof. Crchore and Lieutenant Sauler , where by anything over 3,000 words- minute car be transmitted. It simply doubles or treble : the number of words that can.be sent over t single wire , without requiring that the op craters shall learn anything moro than thcj already know of Morse. While the system 1 : of value mainly to the telegraph companies themselves and to the users ot leased wires It will often bo directly serviceable to the public by enabling messages to be put through promptly , which are now often de layed when there la trouble with the wires and their capacity Is reduced below the normal. The Welny-Phllllps system Is t direct competitor with the Whcatstone auto matic system , which Is used extensively li Great Britain and Europe , and betwui arge cltiea In this country. In the Whi.11- tonu system the characters which repre cnt the telegraphic alphabet are puncbec on a strip of paper on a machine something Ikp a typewriter. Thla strip then rum rapidly through a machine which transmits he dots and dashes to an automatic recorder at the other end of the wire. Then bo dots and dashes are reproduced rn on other atrip , which Is turned over to opera ors , who transcribe the message cither b ] land or with a typewriter- the lew ystcm the messages are recorlod in ralset elcgraphlc characters on a strip ot paper Vhen this strip Is run through a macblni he characters arc repeated by sound at tbi other end of the wire , and the operator , read- ng them by ear , takes them on a typewrite ) or by hand. The transcribing opcra'or cai vary the speed ot the tape as It gee : hrough the machine to suit himself , cai itop It at any point and can pull It back 1 ic wants anything repeated. One of thi trongest claims made for the new Inventloi E that It does away with the great numbei of mistakes In reading and transcribing b ; ho Wheatstone system , since the ear I : nore accurate and also faster than the eye When applied to ordinary telegraphic offlci work the operation of the new system wcult bo as follows : Since the transmitter ci-i send three times as many messages In i given time 03 a single operator can send o receive , there would be three operators li each offlce to each wire. In the spndlni otllce these operators would be occupied li naklng tape copies of the messages by tick ng them off on the office recorders. Aa fast as the messages were ready they would b < run through the transmitter , which wouli reproduce them at the triple speed at thi other end of the wire. There the Hire other operators would each take part of thi messages and transcribe them. FATHER KEMP. Dcnth of the Orlclnator of "Yc Oia < FolkcM" Concert ) ) . Robert Kemp , better known perhaps as 'Father Kemp , " the originator of the "Olds Tolkea Concert , " whose fame once extendec throughout this country and foreign , lands died May 15 , at his homo In Boston. Foi the laat five years ho had been helpless fron creeping paralysis. He was born In Wellfleet , Mass. , June 6 1820. While a resident of Reading , says thi Boston Transcript , both he and his wife wen musical people and formed a chorus to sinj the better clacs "of choral music. "But thi Reading people were hardly up to that clasi of miitiic , and old eongs and hymn tunct were substituted. Then the idea auggestei Itself to give a concert , the program to bi made of selections from old music booko , am the performers to be arrayed In the costume : of the period when euch music was In vogue To this end the attics of the neighbors wen ransacked , and Cape Cod and Salem con tributed of their stores of ancient finery Nearly every costume contributed was his torlcal ; none of them were Iea than fltt : yeara old , while some 'were ' In use over 201 years before. One dress In particular woi brought from England by Major Wlllard a a wedding costume for his daughter am wa afterward used for the eame purpoa by three other brides. The flrst public performance was given li Lyceum hall. Reading. Mrs. Kemp appeare < then and ever afterward as Martha Washing ton. In response to an urgent request fron Lynn , a concert waa given there and thi return to Reading made in a bitter snow storm with the thermometer registering 2i degrees below zero. The people of Boatoi had heard of the success ot the concerts am wanted an opportunity to witness one. anc so arrangements were made to give a per formance In Tremont Temple. The Induce menla offered by Father Kemp to his Read Ing chorus to come to Boston were thel fares both ways and a supper. Some 20' ' people accepted the terms , among them T. F Appleton , the oldest organ builder In th country. The party came from the depot li costume In twenty omnibuses , chartered to the occasion , and creatcdinulte a furore a they paraed through the streets. The concert waa a success nnd sixty mon were given In the Temple at different times There were no reatrved. " seats In those day. . and the Temple would be crowded by o'clock In the afternoon , although the ad vertlsed time for beginning was 7:30. : Myron Whitney joined the troupe her and traveled through tbo West with them. From Boston , the troupe , limited to thirty two , made trips to Providence , New Have : and New York , giving the flret concert eve heard at Cooper's Institute In the latter city After a prosperous Western tour Fathe Kemp decided in 1SCL to take bis troup abroad , and to H.

HOLLAND'S ' SUBMARINE TORPEDO BOA ! Dcfnllci ? Drxorlptlon of the StrnnKC Craft Itccpntly Lnnnchril Moiit I'crfrct Specimen of Her Tite. The launch of a submarine torpedo boat at Elizabeth , N. J. , last week , says the New York Tribune , can hardly bo said to mark o new era In naval warfare , but the saucj Ittle craft Itself Is probably the most perfect specimen of her type ever yet designed. A full century before- Jules Verne wrote "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" a boat was built by David Bushncll , a Connecticut Yankee , which could be navi gated under water. Robert Fulton also con structed such a vessel and tried to sell It tc the first Napoleon away back In 1802. Dur- ng the late civil war In this country the confederates destroyed one of the union ships by means ot a submarlno boat , which owed a torpedo up against the object ot attack. At the present time the navies ot "ranee , Spain , Italy , Germany , Russia , Turkey and Greece have one or more boats designed to carry and discharge torpedoes , mt differing from the ordinary torpedo boat n being able to travel under water part of the time. For ono reason or another several of these vessels have proved unsatisfactory and none have yet been so tested as to demonstrate their practical efficiency. Uncle Sam was led seriously to consider .he notion ot having a submarlno boat fully ten years ago. Various Inventor * submitted plans to the Navy department , and finally , tbout two years ago , a contract was given o a Baltimore shipbuilding concern for a vessel to be constructed In accordance with fohn P. Holland's designs. Mr. Holland , .hen a resident of Newark , N. J. , but now Ivlng In New York City , had been studying , hc subject ever since 1ST" , and had made boats which would travel under water. Such slow progress has been made with this gov ernment enterprise , however , that he finally leclded to go ahead on his own account. A > rlvate contract was made with Lewis Nixon for the building of a different boat over at Stlzabethport. Work was begun on It last December and within five "months It has Become possible to float her. What dlsposl- : lon will be made ot this new product of narlne architecture and engineering eventu- illy It Is impossible at present to say. She s. however , a distinct Improvement upon Uncle Sam's boat In several respects , and In certain others both of them are superior to all foreign croft of the same class. MODELLED ON THE SWEET POTATO. In general form the latest Holland boat resembles a magnified and symmetrical sweet potato. In slenderness the Baltimore boat Is , perhaps , comparable to a cigar ; out this is not true of the Ellzabetbport specimen. The vessel Just launched Is 53 feet 4 Inches long , 10 feet 3 Inches In diameter at the middle , and has a displacement of about soventy-flvo tons ; whereas the one under construction for the government Is 85 feet long , 11 % feet through at the middle , and will displace 168 tons of water. Mr. Hol land believes that the smaller boat can be more easily maneuvered than the larger ; sha can operate , submerged , in only twelve feet of water , whereas the other one requires sixteen or eighteen ; her cost will be about $100,000 , as against $150,000 ; she can be worked with five or six men , instead of re quiring a crew of ten , besides possessing other excellencies to which reference will bo made presently. Heuce , as Mr. Holland puts It , "She concentrates greater power In less space , and presents a smaller target to the enemy. " Except when considerations of safety or strategy require that this boat shall be com pletely submerged. It Is Intended that she shall float , with about one-eighth or one- quarter of her hull above the surface. Under the circumstances she would look something like a diminutive "whaleback. " The only projection from her upper surface it could hardly bo called a deck Is a small "conning tower , " or pilot house , hiving an Inside diameter of twenty Inches and surmounted by a hinged cover. Through this opening alone ia admission obtained to the interior of the hull. The tower Is telescopic , and Its height may be varied from eight to thirty Inches. Peepholes In the tower give the pilot , who Is also the commander , a wide range of vision. The Baltimore boat , which Is to bo propelled by steam and generates her power by burning petroleum or other fuel , has a smokestack coming up just aft of the conning tower. This can be lowered and the opening left In the hull can be closed when It Is desirable to sink below the surface. The Ellzabethport , boat , however , will use a gasoline engine and requires no smokestack. Thkj will simplify matters and lighten' the craft. There are small , well- guarded deadlights in the upper surface of the hull , too , which admit daylight when the boat Is floating. THE METHOD OF PROPITLSION. Propulsion Is effected with a screw , protec tion for which and for the rudders Is af forded by a broad , nearly circular guard astern. At present the new boat has a fifty- horse power engine , but this will be replaced In time with a 300-horse power engine. Mr. Holland believes that she can carry enough gasollno for a , cruise of at least 2.000 miles , and sometimes he permits himself to think that she might poralbly cover even 5,000 miles without putting into port for fresh supplies of gasoline. The Baltimore boat Is provided with three triple-expansion en gines , whose combined horse power Is 1,830 , but she will probably never be able to steam moro than 1,000 with ono full stock of fuel , The unique feature of this class of ves sels , thu ability to navigate when fully sub merged , makes It necessary to equip them with some appliances not required on other torpedo boats. When the craft la about tc dive- the engine ( whether driven by steamer or gas ) Is shut down , and all openings for tha discharge of tbo products of combustlou are tightly sealed. The screw Is then ro tated by electric power. A storage battery , previously charged , now furnishes current tor an electric motor that takes the place of the engine. The battery of the boat which haa just been launched contains sixty cellt- of the "chloride" typo , and Mr. Holland considers It the finest installation of Us kind on any submarine craft. All foreign boats of thla description are obliged to gc Into port to have their storage batteries freshly charged , but the two Holland beaU will be entirely independent In the mattei of electricity. They are. or will be , pro vided with their own dynamos , which can bo employed iti charging the battery at onj time when the vessels are at tne surface The engines can then bo used to drive tht dynamoa , and a sufficient amount of powei lor a run under water can always be kepi In storage , ready for any emergency. Another exceedingly Important novelty In the design of these vessels Is the horizontal rudder , arranged Juit above the ordinary Ver tical rudder. When the former la depressed 1U effect Is to throw the bow ot the boat downward ; when It Is turned In the opposite direction , the bmv alms upward. Of course the boat doe not go straight up or down but moves at only a slight angle with th horizontal. This , however. Is amply sufficient for practical purposes , and , In fact , Is vast ! } preferable to a more perpendicular deaceul and accent. An Ingenious automatic attach' ment to tha rudder , controlled by the pres sure of the water outside , can be connected with the horizontal rudder when the boat I : submerged , and will keep her at a unlfora depth. At such times , as at night , the In terior of the boat can be lighted with elec tricity. While under water the pilot U obliged to titeer by bin compass. He goes by faith not by tight. Tbl , however , la preclnel ) what all ocean steamships do after getting fairly it sea. A VIEW ABOVE WATER , When engaged lu actively aggressive opera tlona , of course , the commander can rUi every few minutes Juat far enough to thru * up bis conning tower and take a fresh ob nervation ot the enemy's poultlon , and thei drup down a few feet again. This proceedint need not expose him for more than a fev second * . The tower In proof against bullets In case he itoulJ be In range of smal arms , and It Is too smail for m big guq ti be aimed at It with dangerous accuracy. Another device , i modlflcatloa of thi "Kfet. camera luclda. has > bccn Invented for us while the boat Is completely submerge Thin consists ot . mirror , a lens and a. tubi which can bo thrust up through the wate to the surface , and which will , or at leae 1' expected to , bring down a glimpse ot th vicinity. Some differences of opinion cil as to the practical value ot this apparatu : Whatever may be thought on this point , how ever , the conning tower can be so easily m ployed , and so safely that the camera lucid seems to be unnecesaary. It Id a matter of course that , when a eut marine boat remains under water for mor than a few minutes at a time , a supply c fresh air must be specially provided , or els the crew will perish from suffocation. Mar not being a flsh , baa not the apparatus fo disentangling life-giving gases from th water. It Is customary- therefore , to suppl boa'ts which are Intended ' for this clans o service with tanks containing compresse air. The valve through which this air M capes Into the vessel Is in adjusted M t maintain , In the space occupied by the crew a pressure exactly coripjpqndlnR to that o the atmosphere at sea. level , which Is flf teen pounds to the square inch. Automatl regulation Insures uniformity , and , whll making good the losses fronlrthe escape of ex plred air , guards agalnsttytastefulnesa. It Is estimated by % , Holland that th boat under construction In Baltimore cai make about seven or eight 'knots an hour fo six hours with the amount' of power store In her electric accumulators. She will nebo bo capable of spurting , however. The batter of the smaller boat yjli rarry a char ? sufficient to do the same wtirk , but will als admit ot a spurt for at least an hour at th rate of thirteen knotw Erdry one tamllla with the ui'j of storage. batteries Is awar not only that so many -cells will take enl : just such a charge , but also that a ccrtati rate of discharge cannot , be exceeded wlthou damage to the battery. Unless the latte be especially designed for extra demands therefore , It would be ruined by spurting. The means by which these craft are navl Rated and the provisions for the aafety am health of their crews having been described It now remains to consider their equlpmcn for offensive purposes and what the Invento : claims that they can do. THE FIGHTING IMPLEMENTS. In the first place the Ellzabethport boa has a single "expulsion" tube for the dls charge of ordinary Whltehead torpedoes The tube opens out forward and is arrange ) In the axial line of tha craft. Whlteheai torpedoes are self-propelling , and , bavin ; once been launched , will travel from 800 ti 1,000 yards. They are nearly twelve fee long , eighteen Inches In diameter , and carr ; i charge of wet gun cotton weighing Id to 120 pounds. The new boat will have threi of these torpedoes In her magazine whet tully equipped. The Baltimore boat has twi "expulsion" tubes , one on either side of he : iovr , and should be provided with five Whitehead head torpedoes. Another weapon which thi smaller boot has Is an "aerial" gun. Thli Is arranged directly above the expulsloi tube and is designed to project another styli of torpedo through the air. Mr. Hollam believes that It will throw such a projectlli fully a mile , and , If It be properly aimed that It will deposit the deadly thing rlgh on a ship's deck. This class of torpedi would carry a charge of from eighty to 10i pounds of gun cotton or some other hlgl explosive and he would allow room In thi magazine for twelve such missiles. Ni torpedo boat has hitherto attempted to di anything of this sort. Thirdly , the new beat has a submarine gun which , like the aerial gun and expulsloi tube , la built Into the hull ot the vessel This piece of ordnance opens astern , jus above the rudders , and has a bore of 8j Inches. It la Intended to use a > charge o powder here sufficient to force through thi water 100 yards or so a torpedo carrylnj from 100 to 400 pounds of explosive. Like other torpedo boats , submarine craf are designed essentially for const defensi service ; but It Is claimed for them that the' are much more efficient' , by reason 'of thei ability to hide themselves , to approach thi e.iemy's ships more closely in dellverlnj their attack , and to reach the more vulner able part of the vessel by getting under her Mr. Holland also declares that they can pasi without risk through the nettings usualli employed to protect big vessels from torpe does. The latest product of his skill wouli be able to discharge Whltehead torpedoei below the surface ot the water and acria torpedoes above that leVel , dnd to a greate : dlMance. and that ; afbr1 fllvliis- under i ship , could deliver another blow from thi submarine gun pointing asfern. Mr. Hoi land also believes thafhts 'boat , having ai aerial gun , would be uspU with terrible cffec against land fortifications.1 . , Ste could ap preach Just below the surface of the water where she would , not nnly be out ot sleh but would be protected'fron\ missiles , couh come up at the right angle1and then throv her projectile. The recol ) from the dis charge would throw her3 b.-ftk . - ward and com pletely subrrerge her In , a Jiffy ; and evei If the fort got her range ijhe would be en tlrely safe. ' A peculiar comblnatlbn ' 'of qualities wll be needed for success In managing and fight ing with iTT > oat of this s6rt , and a tlttl , preliminary practice wwjldalso seem to bi essential to good results' ? ' It Is not ever Jack tar , either , who- will 'want to serve l ] the crew of a craft -which would go poklni around so near to Davy Jones' locker a times Nevertheless , there Is much reasoi to believe In the practicability of the whol scheme ; and if. as is probable , Mr. Hoi land s boat Is superior to all others , patriot !

IMPOSITION ON THE FISI Deception Practiced by Scientific Chefs ii Some Leading Hotels. BULLHEADS MADE INTO HORNED TROU ; Mnckerel Dnctnrcil Until It Tinmen Coi Mnc Vnrlctlrn of I'lwh Llnteil Under I'rcncU Xnmcii an Menu Cnriln. "It belts the band how the American pub lic got * humbugged , " said a prominent rail road man at the Union depot the otho day. He was seated In the depot restauran and was enjoying a dish of shad. Thi speaker deftly extracted a couple of bone : from the remains of the departed swtmmc : and continued : "Now. take this kind o dish for Instance. There Isn't ono man li forty , who can pick out one flsh from anothei after It has passed through the hands of < scientific chef. Sometimes you will heal a kick registered , but It Is seldom. Patrom of hotels like to be bamboozled Into thinking they are getting a rare dish , when they cal for something wrapped In a French name This Is bccauso they have never been behind - hind the scenes. "A few days ago I took breakfast at o hotel which I consider one of the best In n certain city. I called for blueflsh. The waiter brought In a dish which resembled the genuine article to a nicety. It was prettily garnished with parsley and the usual egg salad , and even I , who was ralseil on the .Maine coast , thought I had a good specimen of the deep sea denizen. When I tried my knife on It , however , the game was up. The Mesh was tough and lacked the flaky whiteness of the genuine article , It was nothing more than a mackerel. 1 hailed a waiter and told him to take the dish back , and bring me what I ordered , He returned In a few minutes with pre cisely the same thing , except that a little more pains had been taken by the cook with the trimmings. "I gave up the Idea of getting what 1 wanted , and began to josh the waiter about It. Ho was a good-natured colored boy , and after I had given him a couple of hot shots , he laughed and admitted that I had guessed the truth. ORIGIN OF THE IDEA. " 'You am de fust man ebor call dat head cook down. You see , boss , ile chef and myself Is turn Kansas City , and anything wlf scales on goes down there. Dat chef im a mighty mean man wlf flsh , do. Deed he Is , ' and ho laughed again at the thought of his superior's discomfiture. "By means of a liberal tip I got the col ored boy to take me out In the kitchen. He Introduced me to the cook , who proved tc be a good-natured little Frenchman. He unlocked his wits with -a good Havana cigar at my expense , and then explained at length lio\v he manufactured the various brands of fish at short notice. " ' .Mackerel , bullheads , buffalo and cat are the principal fish used around this hotel. Sometimes the steward buys some red snapper , shad or halibut , but I can doctor up the others so they will answer Juat as well. Nine out of ten of the people- who patronize our Inland hotels cannot detect the difference. Take mackerel , for Instance. They can be served In nine different ways , representing 0,1 many different varieties of ash. I can make the handsomest horned trout out of a bullhead that you ever saw. Just look here. ' "He took me to one of the serving tables and displayed a specimen ot his handiwork. Reposing on a long platter , partially smoth ered In a garnishing of vegetables , greens and salads , was a good , honest billhead. A wonderful transformation , however , had been worked In Its facial outlines. Bullhead It was no longer , but a horned trout , if you please. Small slits had been skillfully made under the eyes and a couple of oyster crackers had been inserted to glvo the nec essary bulge to the optics. The horns were produced by toothplgks , which wera. thrust through , ttie roof of the mouth up beneath the outer covering of skin. That fish's own relatlvoi would never have recognized him. WHERE COMBS ARE USED. " 'Now when I want to serve a sword flsh , ' continued the chef smilingly , 'I pur chase a long fine double-toothed comb , which costs about 15 cents. It Is trimmed down at one end to a One point , just enough to show the teeth of the , pirate of the seas , and Is then thrust Into tbo snout of a buffalo flab. Of course the toilet of the buffalo must otherwise be arranged ; the flesh must 9 seasoned , and parta of his anatomy when he Is to be used as a figure dish , must be covered up In the dressing. He will then pays muster for the wickedest sword flah ever designed by nature. " 'I can season catfish so that It will pass for halibut , ren snapper , whltcBsh or stur geon. Good samples ot brook trout can be made out of sunfiah , shiners or bream. The mottled appearance of the sides can be Imi tated by means of pepper , cinnamon and flour. Most of the catfish , suckers and sun- flsh used hero are brought from Langdon , Mo. Much of the fleh Is also supplied from the Missouri river and from the lakes formed Into cut offiJ , located In the bottoms. ' "He concluded by Inviting me to a flsh dinner which was to be given at the hotel the coming Friday , but I declined with thanks. I am too old a bird to be caught In a trap Ilko that. " FIRST METHODIST SERMON. Prencli Ml In Thin Country a Centitrj nn < l n Hnlf ARTO liy John Wenlcy. "On the 7th of March , 173G , John Weslej preached the first Methodist sermon evei preached on this continent , " writes Rev W , J. Scott , D. D. , In the Ladles' Homi Journal. "It was delivered not far from the site of the present Christ church. Savannah of which ho subsequently was the thin rector , and was addressed to a mixed as seinblage. His congregation hardly exccedei 400 persons. Including children and adults reinforced , however , by 100 or more of thi neighboring Indians. Wesley discussed In ; moat eloquent manner the principles o Christian charity as argued by St. I'au In the thirteenth chapter of First Cor Inthlana. He made a powerful appeal am many of his audience were In tears.Vhlli ho was not so Impetuous In his delivery ai In after years , bis abilities at that time be spoke the great preacher and reformer. "If he was more scholastic In style thai In after years , the fervor and force of hi appeals were none the less felt by his hear era. Especially was this strikingly trui when In the course of his discourse hi adverted to the death of his father , vibe fo ; forty years or more bad been the Incumbrn of the Epworth rectory. This veneralili man was asked not long before his death 'Are the consolations ot Uod small wltl you ? ' 'No. no. no ! ' he exclaimed , with up lifted bands , 'and then , ' continued Wesley 'calling all that were near him by thel : names , the dying patriarch said : Think o heaven , talk of heaven ; all time Is lost whei we Jic not thinking of heaven ! ' This wa spoken by Wesley In a tremulous voice am bis new parishioners at Savannah were fo the Instant almost swept off their feet'by : tidal wave of religious enthusiasm. Tradl tlon has It that several Indians who wcr present became an greatly excited , not enl ; by Mr. Wesley's Impassioned oratory- though they did not understand a word bi said but by his gestures , that one eli warrior nervously clutched bla tomahawk fearing an outbreak la the strangely movei audience.
