The use Of passenger elevators in New
York has led to the construction of build
ings of from six to ten stories in height,and
have rendered them sources Of O M
profit. The noise in the streets and in the
Offices on the lower floors Of the buildings
had become SO great that when elevators
were introduced the value of upper stories
for Office purposes was at least doubled, and
the elevator, formerly a luxury, became a
necessity. The income from one high

after erection. In the United States bank
building, at Wall street and Broadway, two
large elevators are kept busy running fast

T g charges presented against Rev. DR..
Thomas, late pastor of Centenary Metho-
dist church, by the Rev. S. A. w. Jewett
and the Rev. R. M. Hatfield, the commit
tee appointed by the Rock river conference
for that purpose; says the.C Chicago Tribune,
consists OF his denial of the doctrines of
inspiration and the atonement, as taught
by the church, and his PRONUNCIATION Of the
doctrine of probation after death for those
who die in sin. To these allegations of
doctrinal wanderings the full charges and
specifications add s~omethingdn the nature
Of a billof particulars, by pointing out,
through references to the eanons of the
church, the precise infraction of the sever
al doctrines with which the reverend doc.
tor is charged, and the time, place and other
circumstances surrounding the alleged di-
f,ression from the path of doctnnal reci-
tude.
The gist of the defense is that his work

that all his sympathies have been and are

ever wrought for her advancement.
That no has not gone beyond reasonable
bonds of belief, certainly notso far as Bish-

That his views were not made for the

It will be claimed that the defendent be-

He will claim a belief in future punish

These points really cover the ground in
