A FINE IMPOSED.
Conductor Burris, of the B. a o., Violates
City Ordinance.

City Ordinance.
Last night Mayor McSherry fined
Henry j. Buris five dollars for OBJ
structing street crossing in the vi
cinity Of the Hannisville Distillery.
Mr.. Burris is a conductor on the Bal
timore & Ohio railway and Mr.. Nathan
Thompson complained that he had on
November 18th permitted three. freight
cars to stand upon the crossing for a
considerable time and thus prevented
him from crossing the track with his
team and wagon. Conductor Burris
admitted that he had been switching
cars and making up train and had
cut loose from three cars for five or
SIX minutes at the longest.
Mayor McSherry said that if that
was the case he would havesto impose
q fine Of five dollars, which was the
lowest possible under the ordinance.
He thought that the B. 90. Company
ought toNpay it though as there were
times when it was almost impossible
for the men to avoid violating the or
dinance. Conductor Burris pulled a
fifty dollar bill from his inside pocket
and paid the fine.

With the curtains al drawn tiehf.
Cnrled up in great big rocker.
Fair and sweet in the soft lamp iixht.
A bonbon box on the table
With choicest OF sweets was filed.
Which she daintily nibbied while writing
The words that her lover thrilled:
''0h. kong for Jon now. my darling.
Without you my life seems drenr.

And her lover read the letter
As he sat In his bachelors den,
With his feet cooked up on the mantel.
In the usual way Of men.
With . box Of cigars at his elbow
And pipe and glass near by.
And the smoke clouds wreathed above him
AZ be echoed her lonely cry:

Everything and everybody;

In her artless, elflike way,
"Papa's socks will soon fit Willie."
She could never be so silly

Useful garments known as hose;

And for socks she uses .siiggerss,

will rejoice with the congregation of
Baptists over the completion and dedi-
cation Of this magnificent temple of
Christian worship. The consummation of
this undertaking will excite variety
of emotions. 1t is gratifying to the eyes
Of every lover Of architectural beauty.
1t is simple and unpretentious, and yet
to the truly disciplined eye it
is beautiful. To the man whose
thoughts are mainly on mater
ial results. the occasion suggests
the value which such structure will
reflect upon every foot of ground in this
young and growing city. But to the man
OF spiritual feeling and vision and who
regards Gods honor and the higher in
tercst OF mankind, there Is nothing so
pleasing as the thought that this build
ing has been erected for the defense
and propagation OF the faith once de-
livered to the saints.
I'm the eyes Of those who seek first
the kingdom Of God and His righteous
moss, it has no other significance.
Here the everlasting Gospel shall be
preached-that Gospel which recognized
every human being as vile and help
less sinner and Jesus Christ as an inf
nitely merciful and almighty Saviour.
Here God will be loved and worshipped
by people who will cling with death
less devotion to the belief that they are
saved by grace. Within these conse-
Grated walls Christ shall be all and in
all. Here erring, bewildered, lost men
will be joined to Him as the only star by
which they can navigate the sea of life
and gain the coast of bliss securely.
Here Gods people will receive the illu-
mination and uplifting of His spirit, sit
together, as in heavenly places, in Jesus
Christ, and see things which are invisi-
BILE to mortal sonse.
Here they will have experiences
which will inspire them to sing:
The hill of Zion yields
a thousand sacred sweets,
Before we reach the heavenly fields
Or walk the golden Streets
And when their service here is over.
having fought the good fight and kept
tho faith, they will pass through a
golden gateway into another and grander
temple not made with hands, to behold
wonders OF which they had not dreamed,
and hear music sweeter than mortal
| MINISTRIES ever made"
After the conclusion of DR.. Hawthorne's
sermon the financial statement was
made by Mayor Evans, showing the total
cost Of the church when entirely COM
| pleto to be $4,000. There was still
$4,000 to be raised.
The congregation was then called
upon to subscribe and in short time
