by which he is assigned TO Denison.
The church there is strongly organized,

and finish, and has fine membership.
The salary Is 81 900 per annum, with
comfortable parsonage. An idea of the
spirit which controls the Methodists of
Denison may be gained from the fol-
lowing editorial clipped from the Con-
ference Daily:
"rhe entertainment of this Confer

nihcent illustration Of open-hearted
Western hospitality. Every house Is
crowded to its uttermost capacity.
Nothing Is too good for the preachers,
the people think, and no pains are
spared by saints and sinners to make
our stay complete pleasure. lie Is u
lucky fellow who gets appointed to
Denison next Monday. Many apreach-
er is singing

all cannot have such places, and some
60 to very difficult fields, but all go, we
trust, In Joy and faith

privilege Of selecting pastor, so that
this appointment will prove mutually
agreeable. Rev. Harris and family will

pointment. Rev. Ilgenfritz will occupy
the pulpit In this city next Sabbath.

Two or three years ago the Clan-na-Gael
had some hold in New England and no doubt
retains somewhat of it now. But the extern
sion OF its influence was discouraged in many
places by the better element among those ac-
lively interested In behalf OF the cause OF
Ireland. A conspicuous example of this was
seen in Springfield, Mass About three
years ago there were two or three branches
Of the Clan-na-Gael in that city and vicinity
in very prosperous condition. Ten years
ago Michael Dayitt addressed them, and in
their number might be counted
several we'll known Irish patriots
But now the order whereabouts,
In the language of a Springfield pa
tion came about in a somewhat amusing
way. The wife of member found by chance
a printed copy of the Clans constitution
among her husbands effects. Being true
Catholic, the good woman at once took it TO
Bishop O'Reilly, who lost no time in de-
nouncing the order frsm the pulpit, and In
declaring uncompromising war upon its
members. Father McDermott and other
priests refused the sacraments to all Clan
naGael men. Few could endure such treat
ment for the honor of belonging to the Clan
na-Gael, and, the members deserving, all of
the local branches soon became practically
defunct. 1t is pity some Chicago wife
could not have been equally successful in
bringing down trouble upon the lodges of
Chicago, before they made themselves infa-
nous by decreeing the removal" of DR..

The millions who have read the simple
but graphic stories of the Conemaugh disss-
ter told by the Associated Press dispatches
every morning have but little conception OF
the courage, energy and endurance required
OF the men to whom belongs the credit of
sending these dispatches. To w. c. Con-
nelly. jr., the Pittsburg agent of the Asso-
ciated Press, belongs the credit for this ar
duous service. 1t was he who on the first
notice of the disaster chartered special
train, organized a working force and got
through the first reports. His men crossed
the river on wire suspended in basket,
and their reports were carried by courier for
miles before a wire could be secured Con-
nelly worked telegraph key for himself,
and was without sleep for days. While
scores of special correspondents arrived
later it was upon this little band under Con-
nelly that the principal work fell for days.

Yesterday was Bunker Hill day in Boston,
and proper regard for nineteenth century

general excitement and racket 1t was no whit
inferior to the first Bunker Hill day, ia years
ago. A few British and farmers made the
noise in 1775; but yesterday there were the
conmemoratory parade. Barnum's circus,
and two games of ball between Boston and
Washington, involving the display within

Fort Payne, Alabama.

The wonderful growth of this New Eng
land city in the South has been such as to
occasion cxclamations of surprise from all
visitors. Surely, say many the magician's
art alone could have produced this great
Transformation in a few short months. To
those who have studied the situation the
growth seems the most natural thing mag-
nable and not at all to be wondered at,
though phenomenal.
OF all the fourishing towns and cities of
the South this one has attracted most atten-
lion, perhaps, for here alone is to be worked
out the result of the first organized move
nent of the capital and brains from the
North and East in the development of the
vast resources of this region of country.
Here the iron ore of the best quality is
within quarter of a mile of the furnace.
Limestone for tiuxing is yet nearer, on the
opposite side, and the coke ovens are building
on the lot adjoining the furnace A like
condition of fortuitous circumstances do not
exist elsewhere in this or any other country
to insure cheap production of pig iron.
Besides, this country abounds in clays that
makes the finest quality of fire bricks, sewer
pipe, terra GOTTA etc; in kaolin and haioy-
site, from which is made the finest crockery
and pottery; in sand for moulding and for
glass making; in building stone of beautiful
colors and shades; in forests of timber, both
hard and soft woods in a productive soil; il
beautiful scenery; an abundance of pure
spring water, and in healthful surroundings
