Life is a folded flower. and what II holds
We know not, till, unwinding leaf by leaf,
Ii shows Gods secrets hidden in its folds
And b&res its fragrant heart TO vision bries.
For when its beauty and significance
Upon our earth dulled senses break at last,
Back 10 its dust the flower turns, perchance
Ere we have learned its meaning life is past.

TO MOVE OR NOT TO MOVE.
A Question Which May Bring St.
Louis Church to Court.

ST. LOUIS, April 7.-St. Georges Episco-
pal church, the finest in the city, situated at
Chestnut aud Beaumont streets, was recent
ly destroyed by fire. The congregation want
to sell the real estate and build fine church
in the fashionable West End, Robert A.
Holland, the rector, is anxious to do this.
The feeling is practically unanimous in the
same view.
One member objects. This is Joseph w.
Branch, president of the Branch-C Crooks
Saw Company. When st. Georges church
was built there was debt of $50. 900 on it.
A company was formed of members and
this debt was subscribed for as stock at $50
a share, with tho binding agreement that a
vote of f0ur-fifths of this stock would be
necessary to change the location of the
church. Branch tooki $13. 800 of The. stock.
He held it. Everybody else gave their stock
to the Vestry of the church. Branch has
announced that he will vote his stock against
the proposition to move west. DR.. Holland
says If the church does not move west he
will resign the rectorship. Branch says let
him go.
Now DR.. Holland fires his reserve gun by
declaring that the stock Branch holds really
belongs to him, the rector; that two years
ago, when Branch was in very serious finan-
cial trouble he gave this stock to the rector,
to keep his creditors from getting it. Dr.
Holland says he will claim this stock and
fight for it If Branch tries to vote it against
the removal. The statement of DIR. Holland
has caused a sensation, as many construe it
into a confession, or rather self-accusation,
that he virtually entered into a conspiracy
with Mr.. Branch to deceive and defraud the
latter'S creditors.

A Perpetual Menace to Unprotected
New England Cities.

HARTFORD, CT, April 7.-Senator Joseph
A. Hawley addressed the Hartford Board of
Trade this morning on the subject of the
weakness of Our Coast Defences." Gen.
eral Hawley reviewed the ups and downs of
the American navy and criticized the indif.
ference of the people in recent years to the
matter of adequate coast defences. He de-
scribed the new classes of ships and the new
steel guns which are to be made and ex-
planned the workings of the various contri-
vances for harbor defence, such as torpedoes,
rifed mortars, mines and rams. The recent
complications with Italy, he said, showed
the rapidity with which trouble might come.
Halifax is less than two days sea journey
from Boston and perpetual menace to our
unprotected coast, for England, in case of
war, would assemble her fleet there. Gem
eral Hawley said the cost of adequate de-
fenses for the coast might be $125, ,OOO, 900,
but this would be extended over a term oh
years. No exorbitant tax would be necessi-
tated by the appropriation Of this amount
and the investment would prove wise In All

FIVE IN THE RACE.
The Peculiar Campaign closed by
the Election in Chicago.

the Election In Chicago.
CHICAGO, April 7.-Today's election closed
one Of the most peculiar and hotly contest
ed municipal campaigns in the history of the
city. No less than five candidates made the
contest for the mayoralty.
The first candidate in the field was Elmer
Washburne. ex-chief of police of Chicago,
and ex-chief of the United States secret SER
vice bureau. He was put in nomination
prior to the holding of the regular party con-
ventions, ostensibly by the Independent
Citizens movement; but 1t is understood his
chief support primarily came from secret
organization whose object is to minimize the
influence of the foreign elements in the city
administration, and which claims to have
$4,000 voters enrolled in its ranks.
There were two Democratic candidates, De-
witt Q. Cregier, the present incumbent, and
Carter FL. Harrison, who has served several
terms as mayor. Some time before the DEM
ocratlc Nominating Convention was held
here Mr.. Harrison began his canvass for the
nomination, alleging weakness and a habit
of catering to the bad elements on the part
Of the existing administr alton. and promis-
ing reforms in those directions. When the
convention met, the Harrison delegates ac-
cused their opponents OF fraud, withdrew
from the convention and nominated their
favorite, while the others nominated Cregier.
Each claimed to be the regular ID Dsmocratic
nominee. The State Central Committee
took the matter up ana decided that Cregier
was regularly nominated. In the meantime
Harrison had received the Endorsement Of the
Personal Rights League, body made up
largely of Germans; so he continued in the
field and has been making picturesque per-
sonal canvass.
Then the Republican convention met and
| nominated Hemstead Washburne, son of the
| the late Elihu b. Washburne, United states
| Minister to France during the Franco-Prus.
| sian war.
The fifth candidate Is Thomas Morgan, the
nominee of the Socialistic Labor party.
