ST. Georges Episcopal parish in New York.
AS the executor of his father-in-law, Mr..
CHARLES TRACY, Mr.. MORGAN has
offered $500. 900 for memorial building
which shall be large enough for the Sunday
school for many years to come, and which
shall contain also chapel, living room for
the clergy, a young mems club, council
room for the vestry, rooms for the Girls
Friendly society, a gymnasium and bath
rooms. 1t is a generous endowment for a
variety of purposes, but all tending to a
common object, the carrying on of church
work, and the furtherance of practical
Christianity. While English prelates are
lamenting that England will become
infidel if state endowments are
taken away, such private benefac-
tions to the Christian churches in the United
States are proving emphatically that the
old spirit of benefcence is still alive and IS
not dependent on establishment or external
authority. In no way can the Christian
church show its vitality and permanence
more than its recent adaptation TO the
needs and circumstances of the age. 10
enable the men and women OF to-day 10
cope with the improvements winch science
and art have made in the work OF all toners,
they need the library, the daily newspaper,
the cooperative unions and the mutual aid
societies of young working people. The
benefactions OF former ages were
adapted to the conditions when
then existed. But in the progress
of the world its conditions have changed.
To say that the more practical tendency OF
modern philanthropy is better adapted to
the conditions of this age is no reflection
upon the forms and methods which existed
in the middle ages. The endowments OF
the past are still blessing to the present.
The shrines of saints and the cathedrals
built by the great benefactors OF former
centuries still have their lessons to teach to
US and their spirit to infuse into us. But it
is because of the progressive conditions OF
this age that the pious capitalist who builds
the gorgeous church edifices with all the
splendors of foreign marbles and stained
glass does far less for the Christian COM
monwealth which embraces humanity IN Its
membership than he who endows the read
ing-room, the school-room, the sewing clr-
Gle, the gymnasium, or the swimming pain.

will Join the Pool.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2s.-The Baltimore 6
Ohio Railroad company to-day notified
Commissioner Fink that it would become a
member of the New York pool until some
definite actionswas taken by the other roads
to accord its proper share Of the passenger
business to and from New York. Notwith-
standing this action the passenger agents
met this afternoon and agreed to put the
pool into effect as far as the roads were
concerned, and fixed the date of the begin
ming of the business on and from Dec. l, at
the same time ordering an advance in rates
to go in effect the same day to the basis of
the rates of 1884, viz, S21 frst-class be-
tween Chicago and New York, with CORE
spending rates between all other Western
points and New York. The Boston lines
at their last meeting agreed to advance their
rates simultaneously with the New York
lines, and they have been notified Of the ac-
ton taken at the meeting to-day and will
accordingly advance their rates correspond
ingly on Tuesday.

A Ten-Cent Open Rate.

Special to the Globe.
CHICAGO, Nov. 28.-An open rate was
made to-day of 10 cents per 100 pounds
from Chicago to Council Bluffs and Omaha
by all the lines leading to those points.
This is no particular reduction, as the rate
has been given by all the lines for the last
two weeks. 1t was freely predicted when
the first reduction was made from 18 to Is
cents in short time it would get down to
10 cents, as that was about the figure to
which active competition from the North
west would bring it. 1t is not pretended
that there is not any money in the business
for the roads between the two points, and
Chicago shipments are not eagerly sought
after. The rate only affects a limited ter
ritory as arbtories enforced in the South
western pool keep it out Of the section trib-
utary to that association. and it is likely to
receive check in another direction as the
Union Pacific is figuring on the possibility
Of supplying the Nebraska and Northwest
ern Kansas market with the product of
Idaho and Eastern Oregon mills. 1t has
already made break in Colorado trade,
and lumber from the sections mentioned is
being delivered at Denver at prices that
can barely be met from the Missouri river.
The only relative profit that the Union Pa
cific gets out of the traffic is loading of its
empties on their return journey from the
Pacific coast.

ICEBERGs AND GLACIERS.

In lecture at the Peabody institute in
FORD gave graphic and interesting de-
scriptiOn of the formation and movements
of icebergs and glaciers. He said:
The Fiord of Sermitsialik is the debou-
chure of the great glacier when it meets the
sea- In the valley that comes down to the
sea at the head of this ford the ice is in
places more than 1000 feet in depth and from
two to four miles wide, occupying the valley
completely. This great ice field is glacier.
The glacier is the parent of the children of
the Arctic frost, the icebergs. The ice sea is
the great reservoir ice which covers Green
land. The glacier Of the Fiord of Sermit-
sialik is one Of hundreds of frozen rivers by
which the preclpitations from the atmosphere
are discharged into the ocean. The first fall
is snow. The air, which dispenses heat and
cold, life and death, to the utmost parts of the
earth, is not neglectful of Greenland. The
| air sucks up the vapor from the ocean and
drops it as snowfakes upon the sides and sum-
mts of the mountains. The fakes are dry
and harden to ice. The valleys have in time
| become leveled up to the mountain tops, and
there is a waste of wilderness, making the
great ice sea of Greenland, which is called
the Land of Desolation.'' The surface
snow is dry, deeper it is hard, and deeper yet
| clear ice. The forms of magnificent columns,
| spires and arches of blue and green in the
glaciers along the coast are the outcrop of
| the powdery snow which has fallen upon
the Hottest mountains far in the interior
The movement of the ice from the mountains
to the sea is one of the wonders of nature.
This snow has q temperature below freezing,
and if it always continued dry, the formation
of glaciers would be impossible.
| The first action of the sun is to raise the
temperature of the snow and melt it. This
water percolates through the colder masses
beneath, expelling air. AS the liquid trickles
over the colder sufaces it is partially depos-
| tied in solid form and cements the surfaces.
Thus by charging the upper layers with heat
| it makes the water messenger to the cold
mass beneath. Without actually melting
and freezing the clearest ice is formed, &C
cumulating layer by layer to an almost in
credible extent. This ice formation is SO
peculiar as to have been a subject Of investi-
| CATION by AGAssIz and TYNDALL. Glaciers
move at the rate Of five to eight inches daily.
| The glacier or ice stream has its cascades,
rapids, lagoons and smooth how-like rivers.
1t carries rocks, fallen from cliffs as the
river carries sticks of wood. These rocks
are deposited along the sides of the valley or
carried out to sea by icebergs. By the grad
ual melting of the ice this strange matter is
| left at the bottom of old ocean to form a
new continent millions of years hence. The
fragments broken from the great glacier
wall, which float and drift to and fro with
the ocean currents, are icebergs. 1t travels
| south often as far as Newfoundland, endan-

ECCLESIASTICAL PROGRESSION

ECCLESIASTICAL PROGRESSION.
The church disestablishment agitation in
Great Britain is the logical outcome of our
progressive civilization. As the world pro-
crosses in thought and freedom all things
pass away and all things become new.
Churches and religious sects and societies
are compelled to adapt themselves to the
changes which come with the changing
years. The modes of ecclesiastical main
tenanees and endowments are slow in their
changes, but they must sooner or later adj
just themselves to the progressive influences
which are at work throughout the world.
The voluntary principle is taking the place
of state connection and endowment.
1t Is also observable that with this change
modern philanthrophy is taking more
practical turn than in former ages. The
benefactor of the olden time was as mag
nifcent in his provision and generosity as
any of later days, but his benefactions did
not produce the same beneficial results.
The modern mind is still amazed with the
profuseness with which WoLsEY and 9TH
ers endowed ecclesiastical institutions of a
beneficiary kind. And yet with all their
gorgeousness those institutions do not com
pare in the practical good which resulted
from them with some of our more
modern institutions. Take for exam
pie the endowment recently made
by Mr.. PIERPoNT MORGAN to

TranscontinentaI Meeting.

1t is now about decided to hold the meet
ing of the Transcontinental association at
New York instead of at Monterey, CAL. as
was intended. The change in location is
more for convenience than anything else,
most of the presidents of the roads having
their headquarters in New York. 1t is
generally believed that the questions in dis
pute will be referred to the presidents of
the roads for adjustment. The general
managers did all they possibly could at the
st. Paul meeting, but complete settle
ment of the many complications they could
not arrange. 1t is supposed that should
the managers or presidents agree on set
Element and adjustment of the pool, the
Burlington will not consent to continue in
the pool any longer. 1t has twice con-
scented to postpone its withdrawal and it is
not likely it will do so again.

Queer Ord ers for Drugs.

Mall anu EXPRESS.
1.-THE run ON cough medicines has begun"
remarked the proprietor of a corner drug
store to reporter the other evening, land
it is time to put away the cholera mixtures.
We druggists have to change our supplies
frequently to meet the changes in demand,
as one season follows another. OF course
some drugs always are in demand, such
as quinine, opium and potash. Those
drugs are known to us as ''base" drugs be-
cause they are used as the base of nearly
all the prescriptions. Physicians usually
write the names of several condiments
along with the active drug, thus giving the
prescription quite formidable appearance
to the uninitiated. Sometimes physician
will write the name of the drug which ht
wishes to have as the base of prescription
with tolerable clearness and then make
some illegible scrawlS which the intelligent
druggist will translate season as you like
Few OF druggists difficulties are charge
able to tile regular physicians. Most drug
gsts have to undertake the responsibility OF
prescribing for customers. Every hour or
so some person comes in to describe the To-
cation and violence of his pains in order to
get relief Ten to one have ordinary
troubles which druggist can heal as well
as not, and they get for few cents what
would cost dollars if they consulted
physicians. But the extra one may have
only the preliminary symptoms of serious
disease, and his experience with druggist
who has no medical training, may result
disastrously.
! ''You would be surprised at the number
| of puzzling orders for drugs which come
| to drug store Persons who are not good
| spoilers hear the name of some medicine
and afterwards forget the exact sound.
! When they want to use that particular
medicine they try to spell it from sound al
they remember it. Most druggists are
able to tell what is wanted at glance. or
| few questions to the bearer OF the order,
such as What is this wanted forF will
solve the mystery. l have kept in my
drawer some curious orders that have been
| sent here within 40 month. just glance al
these and see if you can declpher all OF
| them"
Several scraps of paper, on which wer
scrawls of various degrees of uglineSS, wer
! laid before the reporter. One woman, wh'
was more familiar with a broom handle
than with a pen. wanted oxalic acid ''ts
take off stances" but she wrote axillcl
asid." The order ''for Mrs. Mulcare,
sense with ST. Peter" was plainly meant fol
saltpetre; demand for Ito Mccarthy
pills" puzzled the scribe until he Thought OF
cathartic pills; but the call for a ''Dotle OF
Sederate for Canstiffners" was given up as
too hard for the reporter to solve. Inc
druggist laughed and said it was an easy
one. The man who sent it only wanted
bottle of citrate of magnesla.

Natural Gas Explosion.


MoKEEsPoRT, Pa, Nov. 28.-The first
natural gas explosion of any consequence
in this vicinity occurred this evening, by
which the saloon of Nicholas Obinder, on
Huey street, was badly wrecked and Obin-
der terribly burned and bruised. The large
natural gas supply pipes of the National
tube works pass near Obinder's saloon,
and it is presumed that the gas
leaked into the cellar. About 5 O'Clock
Obinder started to the cellar with lighted
candle to tap key of beer. On opening the
cellar door terrific explosion followed.
Obinder was blown against the wall, his
head. face and hands badly burned, and his
body terribly battered up. The adjoining
property for considerable distance was
badly shaken up and many plate-glass win
dows demolished. Obinder's house is
complete wreck,

Refused to Sign the Agreement.
At the specified time, 10 o'clock yesterda

At the specified time, 10 o'clock yesterday
morning. General Passenger Agents Teas
dale of the Omaha and Boyd of the Mime
apoIis & St. Louis road reported to the
office of Assistant General Passenger Agent
Dixon of the Milwaukee & St. Paul notify
the managers of the passenger agreement
and settle preliminaries of reorganization
of the passenger agreement of 1854. But
there was nothing done, as II. NJ. Littell.
general passenger agent of the Minnesota
& Northwestern road was not present. and
word having been received that his road
refused to sign the agreement.
On what grounds they refused to sign the
agreement none of the passenger agents
were informed. the Minnesota u North
western officials stating that it would not
benefit their road. 1t is the opinion that
the Minnesota & Northwestern will refuse
to become party to any agreement until it
can command a good proportion of the
traffic between st. Paul and Chicago. If it
became member to the passenger agree
ment most of the business would 60 over
the other lines, and the Minnesota &
Northwestern could not plan to draw it
away from the other roads without violat-
ing the agreement and making itself liable
to fine. Many ticket agents regard the re-
fusal of the Minnesota & Northwestern
road to sign the agreement as declaration
of war, and they believe that rates will be
cut to a minimum inside OF week.

The board of directors will be elected in

Several of the incorporators were asked
last night as to this new road. Mr.. Kav-
anagh said that the incorporators named
were nominally connected with the road.
The road would probably be built in
the interests of the Sault Ste Marie. 1t
would pass the head of Lake Phalen and
Mississippi street. Work would be begun
in the spring, as right of way had been par
TALLY secured. MIR. Kavanagh said the
road would be sure thing. Whenever it
was necessary right of way would be Sc
cured by condemnation proceedings. 9th
ers OF the incorporators were asked as to
the road and just what relation it would
have to any organized company, but they
were very reticent Oh the subject.
