WANTS The STREET CARS
a First Ward Politician Dilates Upon
the Advantages OF the Road.

TELEGRAM reporter met prominent
First Ward official, yesterday, and asked his
views of the proposed street railway along
Summit street and Grandville avenue. The
gentleman gave vent to the following reply:
Il would like very much to see a line in op-
Grafton along those streets, and think it
would be a great help 10 that section of the
city. One thing | am confident of l., that.
If the citizens desire TO route those hell holes
out of the neighborhood of Summit
street, the best way TO do II Is TO have
the Street Railway Company build
line upon that thoroughfare. Some
of the storekeepers on Summit street and
Grandyille avenue object to the road on the
ground that il will hurt their business.
They are fooling themselves, and will see
their mistake If ever line Is placed there,
because it will help to build up that part of
the city and increase their business. Ii
would in no way hurt their trade. as the
-torekeepers IN the center of the city cannot
afford to sell as cheap a. those in the out
skirts, because rents are so much higher.
BY all means let Us have the line built"

What Does it Mean 2"

Under the above caption a Q-rious
correspondent of the New Era
takes us to task for little item that
appeared in our local column last
week in reference to the meetings at
Buck Springs and Bildad last Sunday.
1t may not be out of place to state
that the item in question was written
by one of our aids-de-camp during
our absence last week, but it is not
our purpose in making this statement
to shirk any responsibility that may
attach to it. We assure this Q-rious
correspondent, and any others who
may feel aggrieved at the item that
neither its author or the STANDARD
had the slightest disposition to make
light of the motive or wound the SEN
sibilities of the good people who wor-
ship at the two churches named.
1t is our purpose to make the STAN
DARD pre-eminently a newspaper of
tO-day-nOt an antiquated sheet of a
by-gone decade, nor collection Of

The g. F College.

The new chapel of this institution
is completed, the seats placed in pO-
sition, and the room is ready for oc-
cupancy. The old chapel has been
cut into four large rooms, with hall
running east and west. Three of
these rooms will be utilized for reci-
tation rooms, and the other for a par
lOr. By the removal of a petition
the dining room has been cOnsidera-
bly, enlarged, and altogether the ca
pacity of the buildings has been very
much increased. The new chapel is
spacious, light and well ventilated.
and with the new patent single fold
ing desks presents a very handsome
appearance. Six new pianos were
received Thursday. The year just
closing has been very prosperous
one for the school, and with the in
creased capacity and appliances, a
still brighter future is in store for it.
A very interesting program is in
preparation for the closing exercises,
and quite a number of visitors from
abroad are expected.

The New Methodist Church.


We have resumed work on this
building. All subscriptions made to
Rev. r. A. Young, d. d., on April
q, 1884, are now fully due. These
subscriptions were made payable in
three, six and nine moths, uncondi-
tionally. More than one year has
elapsed. Some have paid in full ;
Others have paid nothing. Delin-
quency, or failure on the part of
our subscribers and friends would
disappoint us and leave the burden
very heavy on few. We are thank
full to our friends for words of encour-
agement, and more especially those
who encourage us in a more substan-
tial way.
Subscriptions and payments can be
made to the committee, viz: w. l..
Swami, Clay Faulkner and w. H.
Fleming, or to the undersigned. We
expect our friends to help us. This is
the day Of our need. We are thank.

abstruse homilies on things that may
be or might have beehive strive to
make each issue bright and fresh
with the current news and events of
that week, and in gathering and
cleaning this weekly dish for the
delectation Of large and various
class of readers, it is a very difficult
matter to guard every little point,
and always avoid the overly tender
toes of everybody.
But to return to the Q-rious cor
respondent, he or she as the case may
be, claims never before to have heard
the May meeting called a "show day"
We regret to inform this correspon-
dent that Notwithstanding his or her
ignorance of the fact, it is very
common thing to hear these May
meetings termed "show days." "Sun-
day pic MICS" etc. The terms of
course are used in the light manner
of speech in which every human
being sometimes INDUCES, and with
out intending or implying any disre-
spect to the good people who attend
those places from pure motives of
worship. 1t is well known fact
that, not only around McMinnville,
but all over the country where these
meetings are held, large numbers of
people attend merely for frolic and
recreation, andIin no devotional spirit
whatever; many of them never hear
one syllable of the devotional exer-
cises, and we regret that town people
are often quite conspicuous among
this class.
Our item was not intended to give
offense to breast reflections npon any
one, and the Era's correspondent can
now retire to the shades of the little
molehill-mountain he or she has en-
deavored to throw up.

They are Coming.

Mr.. j. b. Birge, of Appleton, Wis,
in renting his subscription to the
STANDARD, writes as follows:
"We had very pleasant call from
your fellow townsman, w. p. Faulk-
ner. He left for home Sunday even
ing. Quite goodly number of our
citizens are talking up Tennessee and
l think many of them will locate in
your State another season. Our cold
winters have turned their attention
Southwark, and l think there will be
move in that direction this fall,
about the time wild geese start ,
probably some will light in your
town. ]. b. b."
