WAYSIDE CHAT.
What the Reporter Hears While
Mingling With the People.

There seems to be some opposi-
ton among the Methodists to build
ing new and modern house of
worship this year. A number OF
them seem to think that 1t is hest
to wait a year longer. While dis
cussing this apparent Indifference
among few of the members, and
the great need of 4 new church, a
prominent Methodist was heard to
say: st is a reflection upon good
taste and intelligent Methoiism to
worship longer in the hall Of
building that goes ~ the name Of
church, and which is situated on
one otthe most Objectionable streets
ofthe city. ItGod is to be worship
ped in spirit and in truth, let the
worship be ia house that is at
least comfortable and situated
where it could be conveniently
reached by the people. 1t is not
wisdom to continue to worship in a
dilapidated building. Besides the
fact that our present church is un>
inviting, every sill is decayed, and
when the hell is rung the whole
thing shakes. l am, however, ins
C ine | to the opinion that the op
position will yield and that We will
this year build Methodist church
t,at will b, a credit to the people
and to the Community"

through the various clerical grades. After
reaching the highest place as a clerk his next
promotion was az chief of the stamp division.
He WAS then made third assistant postmaster
general, position which lie has retained
through successive administrations with the
exception Of two years during the last admins
tration. His appointment to his old place when
the present administration came into power
was gratifying recognition of his past serv-
ices. In the administration of the office Gen.
HAGEN superintends the letting Of the contracts
for postal cards, stamps, stamped envelopes
and other postal supplies. Upon him devolves
the important duty OF seeing that these con-
tracts are faithfully executed. He has to pass
upon the designs for stamps and the artistic
merit which the postal supplies Of the govern
ment possess ID largely due to the judgment
and discriminating care exercised by the third
assistant postmaster general. The most oner-
GUS part of his duties is perhaps the issuing OF
drafts and warrants in payment of balances
due to mail contractors or other persons These
warrants, reaching thousands in number, all
have the autograph signature of Gen. Hazen.

Gen. Nettleton served in Sheridan's cavalry
corps. On returning home at the close o. the
war he began the study of law but this was not
to his taste. and he left the field to enter that
OF journalism. for which he seemed to have
natural talent The latter part OF his life
has been spent in this and railroad work
For several years following 1870 he was promi-
nently identified with the construction OF the
Northern Pacific railroad and in 1880 no re-
moved to Minneapolis, where he established
the DAILY Morning Tribune, of which, until
recently, he has been editor and proprietor.
He is a graduate and trustee of Oberlin Col

matters. and has made an especial study Of the
pressing current problems Of . social aud

factor in the national anti-saloon movement,

Minnesota He has always taken an active in
terest in politics, having been delegate to the
national republican convention at Chicago in
1868 which nominated Grant and Colfax.
Secretary Window is now considering the
problem of how to divide the work Of the de-
partment among his three assistants. For
many years one of these officers had TO do
with all customs matters and the other prin-
cipally with the work of the main bureaus Of
the department Since the appointment Of
Gen. Nettleton. however, there has not been a
time when all three of the assistants have been
on duty at the department at once, one or the
other of them having been away on vacation.
Gen. Spauldlng is now out Of town and there
will be no settlement of the matter until he
returns. 1t is likely, however, that Judge
Batcheller will have supervision over internal
revenue matters. the revenue marine and the
light house board; Gen. Spaulding over GUS
toms matters, this being a much lighter task
than hitherto. owing to the creation Of the
new board OF appraisers, and Gen. Nettleton
