deacon or trustee. There are but six
persons in existence claiming TO be
that congregation who were former
ly members. They are, Ann Sellers,
Barbara Page, Elizabeth Pile, Phoebe
Page, Tobias page and John Pile.
The first three are aged ladies and
the last is man of advanced years.
How has their organization been kept
alive and how will it perpetuated ?
Who among them will be preacher,
who elders, and deacons and who
will appoint them to ordain them in
their respective offices IF they are
not subordinate to the lancaster
Conference, to what other ecclesias-
teal body do they owe allegiance {.
Who has authority and control over
them in spiritual matters? What
Bishop can ordain their preachers
Ii they assume to be a law unto
themselves and acknowledge no Su-
perior judicatory, they are then out
side of the rules of faith and practice
of the Mennonite Denomination, and
cannot complain if they are denied
the use of Mennonite property II
they are under the jurisdiction of the
Lancaster Conference, they have no
cause OF complaint because the
church was not opened to persons
deposed by that body from the minis
try. Ii they are not under that iur-
isdiction and it is not shown that
they are under any other, then they
are not in harmony with Mennonite
Denomination, and are without cause
of equitable complaint.
But for another reason it may well
be asked what standing have the
Plaintiffs in court? II for more than
ten years there were neither tempor-
al, nor spiritual officers, nor assem-
blage for worship, of the Letter con-
gregatiop, how Was its existence
maintained in the meantime? How
Was its organization preserved I!
What evidence have we that the
Plaintiffs are trustees and represen-
tatives of any congregation? Was
their election regular and valid ?
Were they properly voted for by
competent electors Have they pro
duced such credentials that will war
rant US in decreeing them entitled to
participate in the management and
control of this church property |
We are not convinced that the plain |
tiffs, as such trustees. represent any
who have been denied legal rights
and are entitled to equitable relief.
We are therefore OF opinion that |
the exceptions should be dismissed |
and the report of the Master confirm
ed.
And now Ist, February, 1886, the
bill is dismissed at the cost OF the
Plaintiffs.

President Judge.

glass soon became heated sufficiently
to thoroughly warm a room 1Ox3O
feet in size. This design does away
with the necessity for chimneys, since
there is no smoke; the ventilation
may be had at the window. The heat
mag be raised or lowered by simply
regulating the flow of gas. The col
ored glass gives all the appearance
of fire; there are black pieces to rep
resent coal, red chunks for flames,
yellowish white glass for white heat,
blue glass for blue flames, and hues
for all the remaining colors of spec

Houses Without Chimneys.

The house of the near future. the
Boston Journal of Commerce thinks,
will have no Fireplace, steam pipes,
chimneys or fiues. Wood, coal oil,
and other forms of fuel are about to
disappear altogether in places having
factories. Gas has become so cheap
that already it is supplanting fuels.
A single Jet fairly heats small room
in cold weather. A New York artist
has produced a simple design for
heating entirely by gas at a mere
nominal expense. 1t is awell- known
fact that gas throws off no smoke,
SCOT or dirt. The artist filled a bra
zier with chunks of colored glass,

China Heard From.

The Chinese government has
aroused itself and sent instructions
to the Chinese minister to this gov
ernment in regard TO the outrages
perpetrated against Cinnamon in the
United States. The instructions the
Chinese Minister received from his
Government were startling. He was
directed to demand from the United
States the total disavowal of the af-
fair, the condign punishment, capt.
ally, if killing could be beproved against
individuals, and pecuniary indem-
nifty to the sufferers for their losses,
to be paid by the United States. This
was the ultimatum. If the United
States refused to comply with the
demands the President was to be in
formed that the Chinese Government
would Immediately proceed to collect
the indemnity from American citizens
in business in the Imperial Territory
and Withdraw its protection from
them, which meant that they would
be notified to leave China at once.

to get rid of one species of special
legislation Numerous private bills
to change the names of locations or
to increase the capital stock of indi-
'vidual banks have been annually pass
ed by Congress. Under the bill such
changes can be made in the future
without special Legislation, and so
much time will be gained for other
Legislation. The only other bill was
one authorizing the purchase by the
government of the old Produce Ex-
change Building in New York for ar
my purposes The three joint reso-
lutions passed were of local char
acter, relating to pay of officers and
employees of the Senate and House !;
filing existing vacancies in the Board
OF Regents Of the Smithsonian Insti-
tuition, and authorizing the expendi-
ture OF portion of the contingent
fund of the Interior Department to
fit up rooms for the Commissioner of
Patents. TIE three private bills
were for the relief of Alexander Lsw-
ton, removing his disabilities: grant
ing pension to Mrs. Grant, and an
other to a soldier. This is the sum
of Congressional legislation to date,
as shown by the printed files of the
State Department.

On Prayer.

CHICAGO, March AT the First
Baptist Church yesterday Rev. Sam
Jones said: "What privilege it is
to pray. Now, L want all those who
got down on their knees and prayed
before they came to this meeting to
rise in their seats. About twenty
persons arose in the auditorium
The evangelist leaned against the
pulpit and seemed to gasp for breath
You may be seated now, he said
Why, brethren, you would fiud more
prayerful Christians in Hong Kong,
China, than there are IN this meeting
to day. If you can't pray l want you
to take your carcasses ont of here. /
don't want you TO come here if Jeu
can't pray" An aged man sitting in
one of the front pews leaped to his
feet ard, in faltering voice, said:
Mr. Jones, 1 don't think it is neces-
sary for person to get down on his
knees to pray l consider myself
good Christian and l do not like to
hear such talk.
Il was about to say the same
thing, exclaimed Rev Mr. Scudder,
of Plymouth Church. II PRAYED
while on my way to church God
does not demand that man shall
get down on his knees before his
prayers are heard
ANY more exculpatory remarks -
drawled the evangelist.
DR.. Scudder-"These are not ex-
remarks.
i man with an ear trumpet arose
and punctuated his remarks with
vigorous pounding on the ros:rum.
"Mr. Jones, he began, Il did not
have time to get down on my knees
to pray for this meeting. l have
spent nearly the entire day reading
the Bible to a gambler and drunk
ard, and / think l am entitled-io
respect here"

gan to stand up in various sections

The reader has distinct recollec
tion how the erring brethren talked
during the late national campaign of
the shocking state of departments at
Washington, which would be reveal
ed when q Democratic administration
should come into power. Doubtless
many of their speakers believed what
they said on the stump, and their
hearers expected to hear of the IN
eartking OF great frauds and so forth,
but they found nothing crooked to
investigate or unearth, and instead
of arraigning Republicans. they have

PRESIDENT CLEVELAND sent a mes
sage to Congress last week on the
Chinese question. He suggests no
remedy for the hostility that is man
ifested to the Chinese coming to the
United States, but says, ''that all the
powers Of this government should be
exerted to maintain the amplest good
faith toward China in the treatment
of these men," He suggests pay
ment of damage to the Chinese for
ontrnges committed against them in
Wyoming and other territories.

The Philadelphia Bulletin remarks;
There is absurdity on the face Of the
suggestion that the Record has
trumped up the story of maladminis-
tration of the soldiers orphan schools
from any motive Of hostility toward
Governor Pattison. 1t is the com
mon rule when some serious charge
is made to drop the main question of
its truth and go off on chase after
some side issue Of this sort What
Pennsylvania wants to know is wheth
er the story of the Record is true OF
not: that's all.

President CLEVELAND believes the
Chinese who have been So outrag
eously abused should receive DANA
ges from the government on account
of benevolent consideration. He
does not claim that they have the
right under any other consideration
than that of benevolence to ask for
damages. How nearly is the Presi-
dent correct in that viewf If mob
in Philadelphia should destroy prop
ertY, would the general government
be asked for damages? If the gov
ernment would pay damages, would
it be on account of benevolent feel
ing, or because it owed the money
for the property that was destroyed.
Government owes protection to life
and property of its citizens and in
habitants, but when citizens and in
habitants fall out with each other
and destroy property, it is going to
far to ask government to pay dana
ges. 1t is presuming too much upon
the rights of the people to ask them
to pay for the riotous work of bad
men. Punish the rioters. It would
be an infiiction of a great wrong TO
require the industry and business OF
the country to pay the damages
wrought by unworthy men. If Amer
ican business men and missionaries
would stay out of China, and keeI
Cinnamon from coming to Americs
there would be an end of the Chinese
question.

exaggeration to say that the volume of business in

Grocers report the last weeks business to have been

at the slight advance of Friday and strong coffee

bee been extremely low for nearly two years
The commission men are experiencing hard shedding
The great abundance of fruits. vegetables poultry
and butter have forced prices down seemingly to the

course the producer who ships to this any other

the after part of the day down so per cent rather
