got married about this time. He had
a natural aptitude for books, in which
his mother encouraged him. Ih 1867
Watson Chapel came to Fayette from
Jefferson City and wishing little boy
to live with him and his wife and 20
to school, White got the place, and was
soon getting on nicely in school, but the
man who took him, treated him so
meanly that he wrote to his mother and
she came and took him back to Fayette.
For four years be worked in private
family earning from 50 to 81 per month
He also worked in tobacco factory,
and some times in the field and at times
went to school. In 1871 his step. father
died and his mother moved to Jefferson
City where his brother who was an in.
valid died. He worked in a restaurant
for some time and then in 1873 he went
to work in a hotel. He spent much of
his leasure time singing and playing the
guitar and was nicknamed by the cook,
Moses Fields, cold Foolish Boy" But
the boarders hearing bis singing and
PLAYING requested the proprietor to
allow him to 60 up stairs and
sing and play for them. He made
great deal of money in this way. After
leaving the st. James, White went to
St. Louis where he found his mother.
He now became possessed of desire
for knowledge and studied at night. In
1877 he secured a school at Venice, ILL.,,
which he taught for ten con secutive
years, devoting his leisure hours to
study. No amount of work seemed to
daunt him, but the study and over work
began to affect his general health and he
was advised by his physician to seek
milder climate. He went to Texas
where he soon learned of his mothers
insanity. In 1888 and 1889 Mr.. White
farmed. While farming he was ap-
pointed administrator of deceased
friends estate. Having settled the es-
tate, he went to St:Louis and got place
on the Railroad where he discovered
many things which suggested the little
book 'The Palace Car, Union and
Home," q review of which is given in
the literary column.

there were three things which he wished
to be done: First, For the church to
sustain him by giving him deacons who
understood both their business and the
bible. Second. AS he was a poor man,
with large family, they must allow him
to draw his salary as he needed 1t, with
out waiting to the end of each month
Third, That unless the church sustained
him according to the foregoing PROPOSE
lions the end of the month of August
would end his connection with the
church,
He further stated that he had rather
have two men who understood their
business than seven who did not" When
the meeting got under way Mrs. Moore
seeing they were starting in the wrong
direction, and being a member of the
church, she felt she had a voice in its de-
alterations and made use of it, saying:
"Rev. Burch only asks for his money
along about the 18th of each month, feel
ing that he cannot get along whole
month without it, so Messrs. Cooper,
Pride and Green opposed it and said they
could not do it. Then they wanted him
to resign. They had called meeting the
night before for the purpose of asking
his resignation. So this night they
wanted to bring the matter before the
church, and the church knew nothing
about this, and refused to have anything
to do with the matter, and most of the
members left the meeting and went home.
Then Mrs. Moore said you all go to work
and call minister from some other city,
and make him break up his family and
come here and then you mistreat him in
every way, and do not wish him to have a
living show. And am opposed to any
such doings because it is wrong and I'M
christian. It seems to me the foundation
of this church is laid upon hypocrits,
they do nothing but quarrel and mis-
represent our educated gentleman who
happens to be their minister, or any one
else who does not agree with them. The
church asked me to board Rev. Burch
and did not wish to do so, but being a
Christian and anxious about my church,
l thought over the matter and finally
agreed to take him as boarder They
agreed to pay his board, but did not do
so, only giving few cents at different
times. But as knew Rev. Burch had a
large family l would not turn him out, as
he is man who dearly loves his family.
Elder Burch was boarding with me six
months, and during that time his wife
and son came here twice and staid about
two weeks each time, and yet no board
was paid to me, and not thirg did the
church do to help me along in taking care
of them, and yet they brought him here
for their PASTOR Rev. Burch is cultured
gentleman, honorable, upright, and should
be treated with respect. Instead of that
they were mad at him and pointed at him
and he knew he could hardly get along
with the church before he had been here
wo mon,hs.''
Mrs. Moore said, Snow you know
what say publicly, and you want to turn
me out of the church, you may do so, as
I don't propose to be in church which
Is not founded on the bible, for >such
church is bound to be in a confusion
all the time. Now, don't any of you Be-
thesda members put my name in the
paper any more, or there will be more.

SAN Francisco, June 6.-The grocers,

Gamers, of this city, who are much
pressed for want of sugar, are signing a
petition to the supreme court. The OBJ
ject of the petition is to obtain a speedy
decision on Judge Wallace's order clos
ing the American sugar refinery, and
also asking that the sugar now stored
and unused in that refinery shall be re-
leased under sufficient bonds to more
than cover its total value. Nlne-tenths
of the sugar used in this city has been
drawn from the refinery named, and it
is impossible to obtain any sugar to
meet the present requirements of the
petitioners. The fruit-canning season is
at hand, and the Gamers, their hundreds
of employees, can-makers.and others will
suffer very much unless the supply of
sugar shall be forthcoming at once. 1t
has not been possible to buy sufficient
sugar in the east, and there is not
enough on hand to meet the demand of
the ordinary home consumption.

the last word received from the troops
was that the Apaches under ''Kid" had
returned to Mexico, and that the settle
ments in exposed localities are duly pro-
tected now. He had not positively
learned whether Apaches or others
killed the boy referred to in late dis

The Cause of All the Trouble on the

MILWAUKEE, June 6.-The facts regard
ing the reported uprising of the Indians
on the Menomenee reservation is that
ex-Agent Jennings refuses to vacate the
agency, holding that the property has
not been receipted for. He was, how
ever, suspended by Inspector Chesney.
1t is a matter of current report that a
conspiracy exists to eject the govern
ment officials from the reservation that
the Indians will not hesitate to use force,
and that there is regularly organized
plan for the defiance OF the government
While Inspector Chesney will not say
anything as to the governments inten-
tions in the event of Jenningss refusal
to yacate, it is understood troops are
about to be called to assist in expelling
the stubborn agent.
LATER.-Tonight it is reported ex-
Agent Jennings has vacated the agency,
but the Indians are still intractable.
Serious trouble is feared if Kelsey en-
deavors to take possession. In addition
to their dislike for the new agent, they
are incensed over the passage by con-
gress of bill providing for the sale of
the pine on their reservation, claiming
that it is an attempt to defraud them.

The San Francisco City Hall Scandal
Being Investigated.
SAN Francisco, June 6.-At meeting
of the new city hall commissioners this
morning, the charges preferred by Geo.
R. Hanks, former employee, against
McCann & Riddell, contractors for the
brickwork on the northwest wing of the
city hall, came up for discussion.
Hanks's statement to the effect that
certain portions of the walls, instead of
being solid brickwork, consisted of a
thin shell filled with sand, mortar and
rubbish, was read, and Hanks said the
reason he had not exposed the work
while it was going ON was because
he would have been discharged, and
he needed money. John McCarty, the
sub-contractor, produced letter written
by Hanks after the latter's discharge,
in which Hanks declared that if ''some-
thing was not done" he would expose
the work that MeCafty had been doiTo.
A number of bricklayers made the claim
that Hanks built the defective pier him
self. On motion of Auditor Strother,
the mayor was directed to employ an
architect and competent mason to drill
the walls of the city hall and ascertain
if there was any rubbish therein, after
which the question of responsibility for
the work will be taken up again.

Rates in Prospect.

Rates in Prospect.
SAN FRANCISCO, June 6.--Charles i.
Crocker, general manager of the Occi-
dental and Oriental Steamship Com
pany, said today that word had come
from the steamship agency at Hong
Kong that the Canadian Pacific Steam
ship Company had announced it's inten-
ton OF resuming steamer service be-
tween Vancouver and San Francisco.
The result of such an invasion by the
Canadian Pacific would be general
slaughter of rates. The same thing hap
pened two years ago, when the Canadian
Pacific was forced to withdraw it's
steamers from San Francisco. and an
agreement was made to maintain rates
and keep out of each others territory.
George III. Rice, general traffic man
ager OF the Pacific Mail and Occidental
and Oriental, has returned from the
north, where he failed to make a similar
agreement, and the companies are still
operating under the tacit understanding
OF last season. Mr.. Rice said regarding
the Suez canal lines 'The Peninsular
and Oriental Company which has always
been our strongest competitor, and which
with other Suez lines has made rates for
us, has for years maintained rates with
other canal lines. My latest advices are
that these rates are going to be cut. If
this proves true, trans-Pacific rates OH
through business to the Atlantic sea-
board will go way down any hour"

BERLIN, June 6.-Minister of War Du
Vernois has announced to the military
committee of the reichstag, bills intro
duced by the government for the con-
struction of strategical railways, and for
training reserves in the use OF
the new rifle; also appropriating
for the further equipment of the army.
He declared that no one capable of
bearing arms should cease training
when he had completed his term
of service. The government had
only decided upon the main prin-
ciples of the measure concern
ing reserves. The demands contained
in the military bill were small compared
with those of the French government.
He added that the government medi-
tates to still further increase the peace
footing by $4,000 men more than the
present bill provides for. Speakers of
all parties testified to the growing agita-
ton against military burdens, and de-
clared it imperative to reduce the term
of service.
