Trinity Church Spreads Feast for the
Newsboys.
Into the chapel of Trinity Church, on
Post street, two hundred and fifty newsboys
piled pell-mell at l O'Clock yesterday after
noon. Each of them held in his hand a
pretty pink ticket emitting him to seat at
a dinner to which all the newsboys of the
city. without regard to race, color or previ-
Gus condition of servitude, had been invited
The dinner was to be given on Christmas
day, just where or at what time the little
pink tickets did not say, and Rector j.
San ders Reed, who knew all about it, kept
his counsel unto himself.
Many of the boys wore the garb that dis
tingushes tie newsb0y the world over, bu +
some of them were disguised in clean gar :
ments, and their hands and faces showed
that the soap advertisers gold had not
been thrown away. The high, raSping
voice and the musical whine that make the
business streets hideous all day were there
with many variations, but the rector and
his assistants and the ladies and gentlemen
who assembled in the church were pleased
to note that the boys made use of none of
those startling figures of speech and IN
trimmed expletiveS with which the average
Dewsboy renders his conversation pictur-
esque and f0rcible.

tance from the church. There the ban

they entered and took their seats. The pro-

was as orderly as could have been expected

SULPHUR SPRINGS, TEX, May 2S.-
Not many months ago number of the
good ladies of the congregation that
worships at Bridges chapel north few
miles from Mount Pleasant. set to work
in church suppers and like methods to
raise money enough to buy an organ.
How we'll they succeeded the organ
itself was there to testify in notes ten
days ago. But however much it i'm
proved the harmony OF the song service,
it leSs the unity of the congregation
hopelesly broken. The conservative
party was small but obstinately set
against this instrument of the
devil. Last Sunday the congregation
sang in the old way, for in the still hours
of the night somebody had carried the
organ out of the house and made burnt
offering of it, and only ashes and screws
and wires remained. Officers are making
an effort to discover the high priest who
made the sacrifice.

Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, May consideration
of the tariff by the whole finance COM
mittee of the senate, instead of leaving
a preparation of details, proposed a new
bill to the subcommittee which means
that great deal of time is to be con-
sumed, and however hard senators may
struggle against it, long hearings are
likely TO be had before the bill is report
ed. The division of opinion which has
been known to exist on the senate side of
the capitol has become more apparent
since the measure passed into their juris-
diction. Under the direction of Allison
Aldrioh, Hiscock and Others OF the COM
mittee. the clerk has been at work for
some time preparing a general plan of
the bill, very different from the house
bill. If the same old subcommittee
which did the work In the last congress
had been put in charge, as they expected
to be, there might not have
been much more work for
them to do after they got this
bill from the hands of the clerk, but since
every member of the committee is to
have hand in it, and there will proba-
bly, be deal of pickering, it will be
some time before the bill Is reported.
One thing is certain at the start, and
that is the senate committee viii report a
very different bill from the one that
passed the house. It looks as II senators
would have q fight among themselves

Report of Interstate Commission.

WASHINGTON, May 28.-Judge Cooley
chairman of the interstate committee,
called the committee and made brief
opening address. The report of the
committee on legislation appointed
at the last meeting was read. The
report states that there were two causes
for the lack of uniformity in railway
legislation in this country the first cause
was want of harmony between legisIa-
ton of congress and that of state legis-
lation, and the second cause was want
of harmony in legislation of differ
ent states. The report rec
commended that the main feat
ures of the Interstate commerce law
be made a part of the laws of the differ
ent states. 1t was also urged that laws
be enacted by congress securing uni
formity in various details OF railroad
equipment and management, with q
view to greater safety and comfort
of employees and public. The
recommendations of the report were
ordered to be printed. A statement
compiled by the statistioian OF the inter-
state commission was submitted to the
convention, showing the number of per-
SONS killed and injured in railway acct
dents in the United states during the
year ending June 80, 1889. During that
time 1928 persons were killed, 26 1903
injured. OF the number killed 1872
were employees, 80 passengers, and 3541
denominsted other persons. OF the IN
jured 20, 02S were employees, 2146 passen-
gers and Abs other persons. The state
ment further says ''the railways
of the United States car
ried 472, III, 343 passengers during
the year covered by this statement, from
which 1t appears that one passenger in
every 1 ,250. 533 was killed and one pas
senger in every 900 ,024 injured. For the
year 1888 the rate of casualty in England
to passengers from railroad accidents
was one passenger in 6,742 1866 killed
and one passenger in 2.257 ,577 injured.
In Judging of the above figures it should
be noted that the passenger mileage for q
given number of tickets sold is much
greater in the United States than in
England, fact which mItigates some
what the severity of judgment upon rail-
way management in the United States.
Disclosed in above comparison, the num-
Der of railway employees in the United
States is given at 7O4 1856.

Special to the Gazette.

DENVER, COL, May 2s.-Another
sensational wad has been unearthed by
Ex-senator Tom Bowen in his Golconda
IN the southern part of the state, and if
reports be true, he will soon be ranked
with the mIllionaires of yore. The strike
is of free gold, and settles one thing be-
yond doubt. The Colorado senatorial
fight next winter will witness the highest
play ever known in game of politics.
MIR. j. G. McClelland, of Alamosa, was
in the city yesterday, and in an inter
view he said that he had been in Denver
the day before, and had met one of
the miners employed in the Golconda.
When l tell you that he showed me d
specimen of ore through which a solid
streak of gold appeared as thick as my
finger, SAID MIR. McClelland, and the
quartz about it was literally filed with
free gold, you can imagine its value.
This man told me that in the eight days
he had worked IN the mine since the
pocket had been opened he was con-
WINGED that at least $3.50 900 worth of ore
had been taken. Only six men are at
work. When 1 asked him about the
width of the rich streak he declared that
the top and sides and bottom of the
drift were all bonanza. Old residents
of Colorado remember that Senator
Bowen made a great strike in the San
Juan Consolidated several years ago and
the stock which went in barrooms at del
Norte, share for drink, afterwards
sold for $40. The Goleonda property, in
which the last strike is reported, is
stocked and q considerable number of
shares are owned in the city. Ex-Sena-
tor A. w. Tabor has 10, 900 shares, but
