FuIJ-GROwN GRABS.

Senator Allison. in the Senate the other
day, expressed in the carefully guarded
phrases of Senatorial courtesy the fear
that if the wholesale demand for public
buildings costing from $4,000 to $3.50, 900
in towns ranging from $500 to 10000 pop
ulation continues in its present aggravated
form there will not be enough money LETT
to meet the expenses of the Government.
As there is not enough money to run the
Government on the present scale of eX-
penditure, without the increment of in
definite millions, to scatter 100000 build
ings in all the small towns of the country,
the only criticism to be made of Senator
Allison's remarks is that they were all too
mild.
Considering that the log-rolling abilities
of the Senators from the West have Sc
cured for the rising towns Of Norfolk and
Hastings, Nebraska, Reno, Nevada, and
The Dalles, Oregon, total of S425,OOO
worth of architecture, it is time for Sena-
tors to say plainly that this system of di-
vision without silence must stop. As no
definite information of the population OF
these towns can be secured outside of
detailed census report by minor geOgraph-
ical divisions, it is not wise to be too posi-
tive either with regard to their magnitude
or diminutiveness. We may admit that
they are rising towns, although they have
not yet risen to the height where any def
mite idea of their population impresses
itself on the nation. But this fact should
suggest to them the wisdom of waiting.
Let those ambitious towns delay their de-
mands until they attain the full measure
of their greatness before reaching out for
full-grown appropriations for public build

No REASON FOR DELAY.

1t is now reported that the sub-commit-
tee of Councils having the appropriation
ordinance in charge will hold that meas
ure back ''as long as possible" in order to
get the Supreme Court decision on the
constitutionality of the curative acts be-
fore completing it. If the committee
were desirous of adopting Just the course
that should not be taken, it would be i'm
possible to hit it more exactly than in the
above outline.
As there is not now more than time
enough for the discussion of the appro-
priation ordinance in detail before the
date fixed by statute for its adoption, the
ordinance should be reported at once.
The precedent fixed in past years of re-
porting the measure and having it passed
through Councils in single day, without
time for extended examination of its pro-
visions, is one that will not satisfy the
public demands at this time. This will
be all the more emphatically the case be-
cause the decision of the curative acts
need not vitally affect the appropriation
ordinance. If the act is invalidated the
city will have to resort to the issue of
bonds; if it is sustained the great share of
the assessments can he promptly col
lected. The comparatively slight differ
ence to be made by the fate of this act can
be attended to while the measure is pend
ing in Councils.
The committee should draw up the Or
dinance on the basis of keeping the total
appropriations down to the present limits,
and report it in time to afford all its pro-
visions the fullest examination both by
Councils and the public Any excuse of
fered for not doing so will create the i'm
preston that the real purpose of the delay
is to get past the municipal election.

NEW SCENIC EFFECTS
Proposed by Prof Herkomer With a Disre-
gard for Their Cost.

rBY CABLE TO THE DIsPATCH.1
LONDON Jan. 80.-In the course Of q lee
ture on scenic art delivered by Prof. Her.
bert Herkomer at the Avenue Theater
Thursday afternoon, he made the interest
ing announcements that he had finished a
three-act play which he hoped to produce
as soon as the in cidental music was COM
pleted to his own satisfaction. Herkomer
has beautiful little theater attached to his
house at Bushey, and he has been making
scenic experiments which if generally
adopted would revolutionize the present
system and necessitate the rebuilding of
good many theaterS.
Among gthenumerous improvements which
he has recommended to theater managers
with airy disregard of cost were the aboli-
tion of footlights, and telescope pros
cenium capable of easy expansion and con-
traction, so that, for instance, q poor mans
garret should be OF the size of real garret,
and not as large as rich mans drawing
room. He also advocated the use of an at
mospheric gauze sky, such as he had used
with striking effect and complete success al
Bushey. This idea took the fancy of the
managers present at the lecture. But most
of Herkomer's suggestions were voted Uto-
plan.

TESTIMONY OF PROPHETS.
They Give Interesting Evidence in Case in
Missouri.

KANSAS CRY, Jan. 30.-ISpeciaL 1.-The taking
of the deposition of the prophet, Joseph
Smith, at Independence, was resumed this
morning. He said that the official name of
the Utah Church was "The Church of Jesus,
Church of Latter Day Saints" and that was
the name of the church prior to the troubles
at Nauvoo. The difference between the
name of the reorganized church and the
Utah Church was the prefix, "reorganized.'' p
The church now holding title to the temple
lot went by the same name as the Utah
Church.
The question of change of name as to
effecting the organization was brought out,
and old church documents were introduced
showing that Joseph Smith, Sr, had revela-
tions to the effect that in the latter days the
name of the original church would be
changed. He also testified that in 1882 the
church purchased the Temple Lot" but
shortly afterward the Mormons were driven
out OF Independence. The Hendrickite
Church "trumped the claim" and has held
it ever since. This afternoon William Smith,
brother of Joseph Smith, Sr., was placed on
the stand. William Smith is so years of age
and his stock of informal tion regarding the
early history of the church is extensive.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 3O.-ln the
House to-day Mr.. Oates, OF Alabama, from
the Committee on Judiciary, reported the
resolution referring to that committee the
report charges and evidence taken by the
committee in the Fifty-first Congress, re-
lating to Aleck Boardman, Judge of the
Western district of Louisiana, with instruc-
tions to fully investigate the same and re-
port its findings and recommendations at
any time Agreed to. Mr.. Reed, OF Maine,
asked unanimous consent that during the
day members desirous of introducing bills
might present them to the Speaker and be
referred by him, was done during the
Fifty first Congress. Mr.. Bland, of Missouri,
objected, giving as his reason that the
Speaker did not regularly refer bills during
the Ffty-first Congress. Mr.. Reed hoped
tnat the gentleman did not mean to 1nsinu-
ate that the present Sneaker would follow an
evil example. Mr.. Walker, of Massachu-
setts, thereupon demanded the regular Or
der, which was the consideration of un-
finished business-the proposed code of
rules
The Speaker stated that the rules had not
been called up for the reason that there was
a special order for O'Clock. but Mr.. Walker
still insisted, and Mr.. Catchings, of Missis-
sippi, moved to postpone the consideration
of the rules until Monday. On this motion,
Mr. Buchanan, of New Jersey raised the
point of mo quorum" but. after some time
consumed in taking the vote, Mr.. Buchanan
said as it was evident that the party which
had a two-thirds majority in the House
could not command quorum he would
relent and he withdrew the point. The
motion WAS therefore declared carried, but
then Mr.. Burrows, of Michigan, came to the
front with motion to reconsider, which
Mr.. Springer moved to lay on the table.
Again no quorum voted, and that point was
raised by Mr.. Burrows, who said he wished
to give the Democrats an object lesson on
what might be done under the proposed
rules. Mr.. Springer's motion was agreed
to-yeas 1S2, nays 27-and then public busi-
ness having been suspended, the House pro-
ceeded to pay its tribute of respect to the
memory of the late Leonidas c. Houk, of
Tennessee. Eulogies were delivered by
Taylor, of Tennessee; Henderson, of Iowa;
Hooker, of Mississippi: Henderson. of
Illinois; Lanham, of Texas: OFerrall, OF

nessee: Brosius, of Pennsylvania; Townsend,
of Colorado; Peel, of Arkansas; Russell, of
Connecticut: Cheatham, of North Carolina,
and McMillin, of Tennessee. The House
then, as a mark of respect to the memory OF
the deceased, adjourned.

There were also on board 40 negroes, who
had never been North before. The collection

There are so alligators, ranging all the way
from few inches in length up to 10 feet. A
temporary tank had been provided for them
in the hold of the Wyanoke. Between decks
there were enough birds and animals TO stock
a FIRST class menagerie. There were so pos
sums, bakers dozen of coons, four foxes
and a half hundred squirrels of various
kinds, a couple Of deer and black bear
There was also good-sized ayiary aboard
the steamer, the principal features being a
large number OF Carolina knocking birds and
two magnificent specimens Of the American
eagle. The colored people are typical colored
laborers of the South. Mr.. Patrick, who is
in charge of the collection, has secured over
