WILLIAM AUSTIN CHAPEL.
This Beautiful Memorial Hall Dedicated wit
Appropriate Exereices Yesterday.

This Beautiful Memorial Hall Dedicated with
Appropriate Exereices Yesterday.
From 1880 o'clock until 8 yesterday
afternoon the walks along Twelfth av-
enue to the college were the scene OF
crowds of people hurrying along in the
effort to reach the college building in
time to secure seats for the dedicatory
exercises of the Austin chapel OF
Stuart hall. At the hour of the begin
ming of the services the auditorium
and the gallery were crowded and
standing room was at high premium, a
large number of people being unable to
reach the entrance door of the chapel,
and were compelled to go away with
! out hearing the exercises. The college
students were seated Immediately in
front of the rostrum, in the middle
block Of seats, which were reserved
for them.
The exercises were opened by
the quartette, composed of Mes
danes Cross and Harris and the
Messrs. Evans and Welton, who sang
the beautiful anthem. lie Deum Lau-
damus'' from Baumbaek. Rev. j. II.
Byers then invoked the divine bless
inRs of God. a hymn which was printed
on the programme, was then sung by
the audience. Rev. Sargent then fol-
lowed with scripture lesson, after
which Mrs. j. K. Finley rendered
Tue Palms" vocal solo, in an excel
lent manner. Rev. Sauerber then led
in a prayer to God to bless the work
now going forward and especially bless
all who have generously contributed to
the welfare of the college of Emporia.
At the close of the prayer and the
hymn following, DIR. Ganse was intro
duced by Dr. Hendy and held the clos
est attention of the assembly dur
ing his address.
The Doctor is one of the ablest speak
ers of the country, and as one of the
members of the board of College aid of
the Presbyterian church, he is familiar
| with every branch of the work, and
has always manifested the deepest in
terest in Stuart Hall.
AT the close of the address
DR.. Hendy made an explanatory
statement and in words of the choicest
character formally dedicated the
chapel, to the service of the master
as place in which the religion of
Jesus Christ and the thoughts and
aims OF the instructors will be held
up as the true standard of American
citizenship and the teaching of which
will be shown to the present and COM
ing generations who will attend the
College.
The exercises closed with a hymn
and the benediction by Rev. Altman.
Austin chapel is one of the most
beautiful audience rooms in the state,
the completion of which is due to the
large hearted generosity of our fellow
citizen and business man, William
Austin, to whom this chapel is noble
and enduring monument as a man of
the highest motives and generous i'm
pulses. The College deserves congrat-
ulations in being able to number Mr..
Austin among it's most substantial
benefactors and we congratulate him
in having his name linked through the
| coming generations with a Gork Sc
noble and eleVating. which will cer-
| tainiy, as the years roll on, expand and
| develop into one of the truest and
| wOrthleSt institutions of which this
| broad land may boast.

TT. Cakes, scheme.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. I0.-T. f.
Cakes, president of the Northern Pa
ciic railroad, was in the city last week
accompanied by General Solicitor Nc
Nanght and General Manager Han
ford, to discuss with western members
of the senate and house plan to be
lald before congress at this session for
the irrigation of the arid lands of the
west. AIR. Cakes proposes that con-
gTess shall give to each of the western
states the arid lands within its bord
ers. The Northern Pacific will lend
its aid to irrigation companies to be
formed under authority of the individ-
ual states, for the Improvement Of
these lands The proposition to take
the irrigation problem out of the hands
of the government is based on the
claim that proposition to appropriate
the millions necessary to carry out the
irrigation scheme will meet with a
strong opposition in the east and also
on the claim that congress will take
fifteen years to accomplish what state
legislation might do in five.
