TIE Lusheraa sunday school.

The Evangelical Lutheran Sunday school
celebrated its esd anniversary and also held
its Easter festival last night. The church
was crowded far beyond comfort with
children and members Of the church and of
other congregations.
The exercises were Of more than ordinary
interest. Tie floral decorations in the main
were the same as those at the morning ser
vice. In connection with the anniversary
ana festival exercises. q special
decoration was arranged to
Illustrate the object lesson, which was a
part OF the programme.
The school assembled in the Sundays chool
room and marched into the church singing
the professional hymn, Awake Awake the
Master now is calling" This was followed
by the order Of service, the Gloria Patri and
the kyrie. followed by the song, WELCOME
y Easter Tidep The Apostles Greed was
recited, and after it the infant class very
sweetly sang, "Clap Your Hands for JOY"
A responsive reading by Supt ". s. King
and the school followed and after it the
song, Joy and Gladness," was sung. The
superintendent then presented his report,
and it was followed by the carol, "Sweet
Easter Bells.n
The object lesson was the most interesting
part or the exercises. In the center Of the
pulpit platform was an immense imitation
rock, around the base Of which were banks
or moss and evergreens. Scriptural verses
were recited by members of the school, and
at each verse a letter was placed
ppon the rock until the
words Our Refuge were formed.
The recitations continued, and block by
block, stone by stone an immense cross was
built upon the rock, each stone bearing an
inscriptional letter. When the cross was
finished it bore the words "Rock of Ages"
and the whole inscription on the cross aud
rock was, Rock OF Ages,
Our Refuge" The church was
then darkened and the illuminated figure
of our Savior on the stained glass win dow
OF the chancel was brought out in relief,
giving the appearance of his surveying the
scene as be assembled from the earth.
DR.. Bowman made a short address in con-
nection with the lesson and applied its
teachings. Then followed the closing exer-

STRONG FOR MILLS.
Congressman Warner Gives His Reasons
Why Mills Should Be Made
Speaker.
Special to the Gazette.

Special to the Gazette.
New YORK, Aug. 29-Congressman John
levitt Warner, chairman of the Reform
clubs tariff reform committee, speaking of
the speakership, said: ''As to congress, all
depends upon who is chosen for speaker,
and until he is elected there is no use guess
ing what congress will do. The man who
is first in the succession is Mills. As
chairman of the ways and means committee
he is the leader of the Democrats of the
house, now that Carlisle has been trans
ferred to the senate. AS the member under
whose leadership was put through the one
Democratic measure upon which Democracy
has of late dared to take an aggressive
stand, he is entitled to consideration for
that reason. In any case the speaker
should be either oMr. Mills or somebody
else better entitled to the;,speakership, and
up TO date that other man has not appeared.
But if for any reason Mills should not
be pressed for the place there are several
popular and able gentlemen to be consid-
cred, and it is the duty of the majority of
the Fifty-second congress to justify the
political revolution by which it was elected
With Mills in the chair there would be ev-
cry prospect of our doing something and
there would be no more doubt that we
would do Just what the country sent us
there to DO. I have no doubt that Crisp,
Hatch, Springer and Bynum will have
complimentary votes in their states and
from personal friends outside of their own
states. l believe that nearly every Demo-
cratic congressman is for Mills. -

A New Deal in the Weighing of Cattle.

Western roads, says Chicago dispatch,
will not in the future make allowances foi
shrihkage nor errors in cattle weights.
Heretofore the roads have allowed 50J
pounds to each car for errors in weight al
the originating point and shrinkage in tran
sit. Taking effect September l, cattle des-
tined to Chicago must be weighed at the
Union stockyards and their actual weight
on arriving there will be the basis on which
rates will apply. On cattle destined to
points East, or to other points than the
Union stockyards, the actual weights as
secured at originating point will apply. The
railroads refuse to disclose any particulars
of the new deal. George L. Carman. super
intendent of the Western weighing associa-
ton, and E. ST. John, chairman of the ex-
ecutive committee of the association, re-
fused to give any news on the subject. On
the face Of the information attainable, it
looks as if the new rules will discriminate
heavily in favor OF the Union stockyards.
Cattlemen do not quite understand the new
deal, but are inclined TO think it move to
strengthen the prestige of the present
stockyards before there is any chance for
new yards to be established.

TICKET COMMISSIONS.
The Chicago Times Predicts There is
Trouble Ahead.

The payment of the ticket commissions
assumes unusual phases at times. and one
of these phases is becoming quite promi-
inent at Chicago just now, says the Chi
cago Times. 1t is q reciprocal arrange
ment which inures to the mutual benefit of
u number of passenger agents. There
are now at Chicago said a general passen-
ger agent yesterday, "a half dozen or
more representatives of foreign lines who
are holding US up right along. They are
sent here at salary to represent their
cOmpauy's interests, but every passenger
they secure, whether for their own line or
not, they endeavor to secure 10 per cent
commission in addition. One of US pays
the tribute to secure the business and the
rest of us, or the most of US, then do the
same in self defense.
''kor instance, transcontinental line
may have passenger agent located here
He secures some business for his road. He
has choice of a half q dozen lines over
which 10 route it before reaching his own
and from each of these lines he asks com
mission and usually gets it for business so
routed. 1t even goes farther than this.
There are passenger agents here who, fail
ing to induce I passenger TO travel via his
own road, will go TO the city ticket agent of
a competitor and buy their customer a
ticket via that line. They will ask for d
commission on the business, and they often
line may divert a portion of his business
back to the first line and also secure his
commission. 1t thus becomes the interest
of a passenger agent to ticket business over
the line Of a competitor rather than give 1t
to the company that pays his salary. BY
no means are all the passenger agents at
Chicago engaged in this doubtful practice,
but l could name you half dozen that are,
and il is growing"
California is perhaps the Ell Dorado for
this species of ticket commission, and many
a hacienda has been purchased in that
sunny state with the proceeds of commits
sIons so received. One of the Eastern lines
lately Investigated this state of affairs and
found that although it had u well-equipped
passenger force on the coast it was paving
commissions on $500 out of 5000 tickets sold
from California territory, A movement, it
is said, will probably. be inaugurated soon
TO break up once more this drain on passen-
ger earnings.

DIFFERENTIALs AND FRE1GHTs.
The Relation of the Former to 10 Per
Cent Raise.

''At the meeting of the association of
TransmiSsouri lines, year ago, 1t was ar
gued that the gulf routes should make the
same rates as those via the Erie canal, the
lakes and rail to Denver" said Fred Wilde
general assistant freight agent of the
Union Pacific, to Denver Republican re-
porter. THAT gave the gulf lines greater
differential advantage over the all-rail haul
than was formerly the case. The all-rail
haul is less than 1000 miles to Chicago 1t
is 1850 miles to Galveston.
THE statement of Mir. Cornforth, that
rates have been raised 10 per cent within
thirty days, is an error. 1t is true that all
rates are higher than formerly. The rate
via the gulf has been raised in the same
proportion with other lines. The tariff
went into effect January 50, 1891, and has
not been changed since. 1t is moSe COM
plete than the former tariff, including more
articles. but the same differential exists.
Another factor in the case is this: The
through business by the gulf is very small
More business originates at New Orleans
for Denver than all that comes in from the
seabOard. There are three vessels week.
On July 20 the steamer from New York
brought TO New Orleans for shipment to all
Colorado points only 10000 pounds of
freight. On August the freight from the
Atlantic seaboard arriving at New Orleans
and destined 10 Denver, Pueblo, Trinidad,
Leadville, Aspen and Cheyenne only aggre
gated q, 900 pounds.
= 1T IS not true that the Union Pacific,
since it obtained control of the Fort
Worth, has pursued a policy differ
emit from that of the old manage
ment. Rates from the Atlantic sea-
board are made up in accordance with
the t2rif ditersntials. Just Is was done un-

AN IMPORTANT INVENTION.
New Method of Giving the Time of Arrival
and Departure of Trains.

and Departure OF Trains
Under the method in general use the
time of arrival and departure of trains from
each telegraph station IS registered in the
office of the train dispatcher, a column be-
ing devoted to each train, which method, it
is claimed by l.. C. FRIGHT of the Ohio and
Mississippi railway, has its advantages and
disadvantages, the latter becoming appa-
rent when trains are running with irregu-
larity, says a Cincinnati exchange. He has
patented a Graphic Method of Registering
the Ielegraphic Reports of Trains" The
usual sized sheet is to be used as a register,
with vertical and horizontal lines ruled !;
the vertical lines representing time and the
different horizontal lines representing the
different stations on the line. When u
given train is reported to the train dis
patcher, the point at the intersection of the
time line reported and the station line from
which the report was received is joined
by line to the point similarly found
by the last previous report of the
same train; the successive points thus found
and connected by lines will form an irregu-
lar line, representing to the eye the train as
actually running over the line. Every
other train on the line is treated in similar
manner as they are reported.
The advantages of this method are at
once apparent. The relative position of
every train on the line with respect to any
and all other trains is thus seen at glance.
II decreases the possibility of allowing
trains to come together between stations,
and facilitates the calculation of meeting
and passing points when trains are behind
their schedule time by the means of a pro-
tractor or rule, which is provided by
simply laying it on the sheet, where it will
indicate graphically what speed is required
to make given meeting point, or what
station will offer the best meeting point, or
what station viii offer the best meeting

difficult, and will commend itself to train
dispatchers, as it enables them at a glance
to see the entire movements of all the trains
on the road.

PRICE OF COTTON PICKING.
The Negroes OF Louisiana and Mississippi
VIII Resist Any Reduction and
Bid Fair to Win.
Special TO the Gaznffe

Special to the Gazette.
New ORLEANS, La, Aug. 29.-The negroes
are forming an organization in Mississippi
and Louisiana to resist the attempt of the
planters to reduce the price for picking
cotton. This is the heaviest item of cotton
production and will reach $3.50, COO for last
years crop, of which probably two-thirds
was paid in wages. The price heretofore
paid has been IS cents per 100 pounds. The
meeting of planters at Memphis few days
ago proposed to pay so cents and the Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana planters have de-
termined to try 40 cents 100 pounds.
Should this reduction prevail throughout
the cotton country, it would reduce the
wages paid the pickers, mainly negroes,
nearly s25, 900 for the crop, and they are
organizing at various points to resist it. The
general feeling here is that the hands will
win, as the cotton has to be picked or lost,
and that the planters will be compelled to
pay the same price as usual, even if the
cotton is lower.
