Church ChOirs.

Salaried choirs are getting to be more
fashionable every year, and in defence
we are told that we might as we'll expect
minister to give his services for moth
ing as church singer. but it is an un-
sound plea. In the first place a man
must spend years preparing himself for
the ministry; his labor does not end with
few hours work on the Sabbath day; it
extends throughout the entire week
through every stage of life from the
baptismal fount to the bier. He can
not follow profession or trade week
days, and he is Obliged to depend, as he
should, on his congregation for support.
1t is true that there is once in while a
person who is obliged to rely ON knowl-
edge of music or good voice for liveli-
hood, but the concert room is legiti-
mate sphere for such people. In large
congregations, at least, there ought to be
organists and singers willing to praise
God without being paid for it. 1t is pity
that congregational singing is going
out of fashion. The Methodist church
owes more of its converts to its ringing
revivalso songs than it does to the goodness
of its creed or the excellence of its clergy
men. They contain the very essence Of

don't feel more like Christian than yor

Organization of the Senate.
SENATOR BAYARD's VIEWS.


Senator Bayard said this morning that he
had yet to hear of senator of either party
who expected the senate to organize except
with the election of Democratic presiding
officer, previous to the admission of the new
senator's. The clerk, he said, would also be
necessarily elected to complete the organiza-
ton and make record. The other officers
were not necessary to a proper organization
for business and would not be elected until
subsequent to the admission of the
new senator's. The changes in COM
mittees, If any are to be made,
will be made when the senate is full AS the
Democrats would be entirely equal in num-
bers to the Republicans, he thought that they
would demand and receive without argument
or resistance, an equal representation upon all
the committees. OF course this meant re-
organization of them, but it would be done
by agreement without excitement. He though
those who looked for an exciting session OF
The senate would be disappointed. It would
probably be the quietest in the history of this
usually sedate body. He thought the session
need not take more than week.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 23,-Although

TRAIN ROBBERY IN ARKANSAS.


LITTLE Rock, Ark, Sept. 23.-Gasette
Arkadelphia, special: The train on the Iron
Mountain & Southern railroad which left
Texarkana at 9 O'Clock last night, was board
ed at Hope by three young men. After paes-
ing Prescott, and when near Kensett, they
quietly drew revolvers and ordered the con-
ductor to stop the train, which he did. They
then proceeded to make the passengers throw
up their hands and went through them, get
ing $500. They then visited the express car,
opened the messengers safe and took $4,000
in currency. Before leaving they threw
package containing $4,000 back, under the
impression it was valueless.
ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
A second dispatch says the robbery was
eight miles south of Prescott. The three
young men presented cooked revolvers to the
conductors, and bade him stop the train,
which he did as soon as possible. He was IN
such hurry to stop the train that he pulled
the bell cord in two. All three robbers went
to the express car and made the messenger
open the safe, from which they took about
1000, which was about half the money
in it. They then went through the coaches
and robbed the passengers of $500. All the
men were very young. None of them were
masked or had any beard.
STILL ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
NEWPORT, Ark, Sept. 23.-The passenger
train on the Iron Mountain railroad was
robbed last night by masked men who halted
and boarded the train and forced the express
messenger to open the safe amp then proceeded
to rob the passengers. Eighteen thousand
dollars was obtained from the safe. It is
claimed that between $40, 900 and $50,0 900 will
not fall short of the total loss. A cotton
dealer named Jas. Atkinson lost $4,000. The
robbers are said to be mere boys and it is be-
lieved will be captured shortly. Gov. Churchill
will doubtless offer reward of So, 800 and
the railroad company as much more for their
capture.
BURNED BY LIGHTNING.
DETROIT, Sept. 23.-Last night, during
severe thunder storm, Allen, Hall & Co.'s
Touring mill at Lansing was struck by light
ming, set fire to, and destroyed. Loss So, 900;
insurance $1,000 The Lake Shore & Michigan
Central wheat elevator was also destroyed.
Loss $500 on the building, and several thou

To the Editor of the Globe:

To the Editor of the Globe:
The street railway is certainly great con
venience, but its value would be greatly en-
hanced by the employment of competent and
attentive drivers. There are exceptions, it
should be admitted There are drivers that are
kind, obliging and gentlemanly. am a con-
slant, daily rider on the cars, and, from my
observation and experience, hesitate not to
declare it as my opinion that
the majority of the drivers
now employed are of a contrary character.
They are inattentive, and often surly and in
sulting. They take no proper observation at
turn tables and street crossings of passengers
fastening to take the cars, and hailing sounds,
whistling, yelling and the ringing Of the tell
by persons inside are constant occurrences.
When signaled to stop to discharge passen-
gers they pass by crossings, leaving women
and children to get out in the
mud. When notified that change of cars is
desired on Fourth street, they recklessly
disregard the order, and lady and two chill
dren were carried to Eighth street the other
night.before she could get an exchange of cars.
By the way, would say to Mr.. Walsh that
his arrangement to change cars In the
mud on Fourth street is unsatisfactory, and
ought to be abated. 1t causes, and Justly,
an Immense amount of fault finding.
The other night lady, a stranger in the
city, who had come to visit sick daugh-
ter, requested to be set down at
certain corner, and the driver carried her
block beyond, leaving her to get back as best
she could with her heavy satchel. These are
only samples of annoyances that are of con-
slant daily and nightly, and I might say ol
hourly, occurrence, and many passenger ad-
