THE Rev. J. Fletcher Wilcox became
pastor of the Christian Church in
Chicago, with the understanding that,
in lieu OF salary, he should be permitted
to preach whatever doctrines he pleased
This arrangement proved failure on
the first trial. In his opening sermon
he told the congregation that the right.
eous would literally inherit the earth for
thousand years. and that the wicked
would be utterly destroyed at death.
He was informed by q committee on the
following day that the church could not
listen to such belief, and that his pas
torate was ended.

1Top Dressing for Lawn.

Instead of top dressing lawn with
stable manure every fall, and then raking
it off in the spring, as is the usual custom,
writes a correspondent, try sowing broad
cast in the fall 300 pounds to the acre of
finely ground raw boue meal and an equal
weight of refuse salt from the pork or beef
packing establishments, and $50 pounds of
gypsum (land plaster. Then scatter on
the surface at least half an inch of good,
rich, black soil, SOW at the rate Of two
bushels of blue grass seed to the acre, and
give it Thorough raking and then roll it,

your lawn, no matter how dry the seasons

nighgt with c. H. Mcconnell in reference to
the formers financial difficulties. Nee on
nell came here at Haverly's request, to pro-
tect himself. After the conference McCon-
nell said he was confident that all matters
would be amcably arranged between him
self and Haverly, and that he had already
accepted most of the notes held by the
American Exchange National Bank. On
Monday the difficulty in that direction would
be settled as would also, he hoped, that with
Shook & Colyer. He did not speak so de-
cidedly regarding the attachment procured
by Gilmore & Colville, though he hoped to
have all attachments vacated at an early day
In conclusion he said Gilmore & Colville
would have to bid more than $13 900 for the
Fourteenth-street theaterlease. As a result
of the meeting, Haverly has abandoned the
idea of transferring his theatrical interests.

THE SCOTT LAW.
A Belief that the Measure Will Be Declared
Constitutional.

COLUMBUS o., June 9-Of course all things
are possible to Providence and the Supreme
Court, but there is almost unanimity in
the belief here, among Democrats as well as
Republicans, that the law will be declared
constitutional Democratic lawyers who
sat as hearers all through the case, with
prejudices and hopes all on one side, admit
that the State had by far the better of the
argument. Even Judge Hoadly as much as
intimated that his blind opponent, Judge
West, completely demolished the Cleveland
contention OF parment of contracts. The
State attorneys now express more confidence
than before the argument that the law is all
right The Cincinnati saloon-keepers left
Columbus completely discouraged. They
had not only become convinced that they
were on the losing side, but they felt aston
ished at the temperance lecture of Judge
Hoadly. If the law is declared unconstitu-
tional the saloon-keepers and their legal adj
visers will be more astonished than the
State attorneys will be.
