CENTENNIAL SEEvICE.-At the last ses.
sion of the Virginia Conference, NJ. E..
Church, Rev. Dr. Wicklne asked that the
conference authorize the Alexandria dis
trict 10 hold in July, 1890, centennial ser
vice at the NJ. E. Church 10 Leesbure, that
church having been built 10 1790-aod the
leave was granted unanimously. The ''od
stone church." as it is Familiarity csiled, is
one of the historic landmarks iU that CON-
NUDITY. In years gone By It's sacred walls
resounded to the voices of many CT the most
eloquent and gifted ministers of that demon
ination, which in its day boasted come OF
the 6uest orators that ever erscad pulpit.
During the past century. hundreds, nay,
thousands of penitents have tbronged its
holy altar, and to-day, in the burying ground
shsdowed by this venerable temple, rest the
remains of many of he older citizens of Lees
burg, the purity of whose lives has caused
their memories to be handed down through
consecutive generations, az models worthy
of emulation. 1t ia therefore most fitting
that the centennial anniversary OF the erec-
tion of this old place of worship should be
appropriately observed.

TERRIBLE EXPLOSION AT CHIoAGo.-A
friehtfuI explosion occurred last night on
the steamer Tiogs, one of the largest vessels
on the great lakes. 1t was in the Chicago
river at the foot of Washington street, that
the explosion occurred This locality isin the
heart of the business section of Chicago, and
the shock of the explosion brought people
running In terror out of the tall buildings
blocks away. Thirty-aight people were
aboard the steamer at the time. The yes
sel bad just arrived from Buffalo. The ex-
plosion was either from the boilers or caused
by oil in the cargo. No passengers were on
board. The wrecked steamer took fire and
settled to the bottom of the river, the decks
being above the surfsce. The fire was put
out. Nine bodies we're recovered and FIVE
wounded men taken to hospitals.

KNEW ITS VALUE.-I heard story OF
two gamblers. the point of which is sharp
enough to excuse narrative on such sui
jsct. Two "sports," who lived in an east
ern town, dissolved partnership, enc because
his health was poor and the other because q
revivaist had convinced him that he was 8
wicked man. They divided their money,
aud the one who was in poo: health went
West and took along a gambling outfit.
The other joined the church and was sincere
In mis- reformation. After several months
the gambler who went West, improved in
health and enriched 10 pockets, took trip
back to his old stamping ground to see how
his ex-partner got along. He arrived on
Sunday. and, upon going to his friends
house, learned that he was at church. So
be went to the house of worship and was
given seat 10 the rear OF the middle aisle.
Just before the sermon be was surprised to
see his old partner coming down the aisle
with plate in his hand taking up the COL
lection As the refor med gambler approach
ed the other thought OF old days, aud, as
they recogniZ ID each other, the uuregenei-
ate one mechanically drew from his pocket
q blue chip and dropped it in the plate.
The good gambler tried 10 shove the chip
under the pennies, but 1t remained on top in
plain sight. He was unable TO hide the dis
graceful chip from the congregation, but
be made up his mind that the minister
should not see it, so, as be approached the
pulpit, be slyly picked out the chip and re-
placed it with three silver dollars. He
thought ne had been deft, and so he bad,
but not def enough, for tbe minister had
seen the exchange, and as he took the plate

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVoRERs.
An Interesting and Profitable Meet
ing Held Saturday.


The first district conference of the
Young Peoples Society of Christian
Endeavor convened in the NJ. E. church
yesterday afternoon at 2:3O O'Clock.
The first exercise was of a devotional
character led by w. D. Rockafellar
after which Supt. W. D. Moulton made
the address of welcome which was re-
sponded to by R. W. Riordon of Salina.
Miss Emma Delay of Marion then
read a paper on How to Maintain the
Christian Endeavor Standard" Miss
Delays paper was very excellent and
bore evidence of much knowledge on
the subject.
This was followed by a paper on
''The Relation of the Christian Endeav-
or society to the Church and Pastor"
by Mrs. Mary Z. Nicol, of Nc Pherson.
Mrs. Nicol's paper ranked equally high
with the one that preceded it and her
forcable manner of presenting it made
it doubly impressive.
Mr.. Potter, of Peobody, next read a
paper on, 1.-The Relation of the Christ
ian Endeavor society to the Unconvert-
ed Young People," If the christian
people would take the advice given by
Mr.. Potter much greater good would be
done in our churches today than is be-
ing done.
The afternoon was spent in discus
sion that has been very profitable to all
who were present.
The address of the evening was made
by Rev. Marquis, of Usage City, and
was considered mastery effort.
During the forenoon today a papar
was read by Miss Cora Lott, written
by Miss Rena Regnell of Mcpherson,
and another by W. D. Rockafellar of
Abilene. Both abounded in good
thoughts and were both well presented. |
Today was spent in reading reports |
from the different societies throughout !
the district and general discussion of |
great Importance to all christian young
people. The officers elected for the en-
suing year are: R. M. White, abb
lene, president; w. A. Bausten, Pea
body, E. E. Hollar, Abilene, A. w.
Ackerman, Mcpherson, Miss Ida
Pierce, Sallna, Miss Loxanther, Mimi
eapolis, vice presidents; Mr.. Merrifeld,
Abilene, secretary; ]. E. Henning, Sa-
lima, treasurer.
There have been present at this con-
ference So delegates from abroad, who
have gone home all feeling that they
have been greatly benefited by being
here and Abilene has again done her
self proud in entertaining her guests.
