IN MEMORY OF LUTHER.
The Famous cid Church Of Wittenbcrg
GermanY. Rndndfcnted.

The Famous cid Church Of Wittenberg'
Germany, Rodcdicated.
WITTENBnRG, Oct. 3l.-This old town
OF pointed gables, towers and narrow
streets, renowned in Christian history
because of Martin Luther, is in gala
dress. Everywhere bright banners
and floral festoons are seen and the
streets are crowded with people from
oil parts Of Germany.
The Emperor William, the empress
and three of their sons arrived at
noon to take part in the dedication of
the res tored church, TO the doors OF
which Luther nailed his famous theses
against papal influences They were
accompanied by the Duke of York,
Prince Gustaf, Crown Prince Of
Sweden; Prince Albrecht, the regent
OF Brunswick; the Duke OF Oldenburg,
the Prince of Sake Meinengen and
Chancellor Won Caprivi.
The church was begun in 1889 and
finished in 1899. In 1860 it was seri-
ously injured by bOmbardment, and it
suffered in the same manner in 1913.
1t was first restored lSii-lSl7 and has
now, owing to Emperor Williams
generosity, been again restored.
The feature of the ceremonies was a
speech by the emperor, which touched
delicately on the relations OF church
and state and declared that the Hohen-
zollerns had always made the protec-
tion of religious liberty feature OF
their domestic policy.

our ST. LOUIS LETTER.
The New Union Depot KrSOAIvS oapS-
ing Up Of the Downtown Feel

ST. LOUIS, Oct. o7.-The birth OF .
suspicion in the minds of the Board Of
Public improvements that the teriPi-
nal roads which are building the new
Union depot intended to gobble up
part of street has led to very full
explanation of the plans Of the COM
pany. 1t was known that the build
ing was to occupy the greater part Of
= block, and that it was to
be the largest affair Of the sort in the
country, but the full scope of tho
plans was not understood. Itdevelops
now, theStructure being half finished,
that its cost will be close to million
dollars, with ornamentation as elabor-
ate as an art museum. Four or i've
hundred trains day will pass in and
out of the depot when it is finished.
The first cars will discharge their pas
seAgers in it before the lights blaze in
the streets of the city next fall.
There is far greater demand in st.
Louis for expert electricians than can
be filed, and good men of this sort are
almost naming their own salaries. Gas
for lighting, steam for engines, and
horses and cables for street cars are be-
ing abandoned generally, and electric.
plants are being put in everywhere.
There are two interesting signs of this
situation. One is the esta blishment Of
a night school for mechanical engi-
neers, where they are taught to apply
their knowledge to electric machinery,
and the other is the organization of an
electrical society, composed of cleo
trical inventors and scientists. This
opened its first meeting the other night
with banquet at which there we're
t0S plates.
The passage Of the law by the Mis-
souri, Legislature, forbidding betting
in the State on races in other States,
has had curious result here. St. Louis
has always had one frst-class race
track, the one at the fair grounds,
which is under the control of the
Jockey club. Under the old condi-
tons, too, there was one other out in
u OlCoV AIM WIlCIC dLndJCuf JEldlS Ol
speed were had. The new law has
brought into existence three more
tracks, one in the southern part of tho
city, where the racing by electric light
was done at night last summer; an
other in East st. Louis, just across the
river; and the third across the river,
too, near Madison. The company at
the back of this last enterprise
have built passenger depot at tho
foot of Olive street, and run trains
over the river every afternoon, while
the racing is going on, at intervals OF
half-an-hOur. The great races of the
city out at the fair grounds track take
place in the spring and fall, and as
soon as they stop these other tracks
begin their winter racing. On the two
tracks across the river of course, the
Missouri law doesn't apply, and the
bookmakers swarm there to get bets
on the Eastern races. The tracks are
patronized, principally by the St. Louis
people, and 30 the law accomplishes
nothing but the breaking up of the
pool-rooms in the business alleys down
town. This, by the way was the
primary object of the Legislators who
had it passed.

{ ,.,.fy Rusk Says the English Inspector
IS Talking Through His Hat.

WASHINGTON, Oct 20. - Secretary
Rusll says, in regard to the alleged
discovery of pleuro-pneumonia by the
British inspectors among American
cattle landed in London, that the
lungs of an animal had evidently been
produced which were effected with
some lung disease. The English in
spectors claimed that this disease was
pleuro-pneumonia while the American
Inspector said it was catarrhal pneu-
monia. The animal to which the
lungs are said to have belonged came
from Kentucky and there has not been
a case of pleuro-pneumonia in that
state during the last six years, nor
was there any opportunity for expos
ure during transportation. This
disease has been thoroughly eradicated

pu table sheepkins Defined.

WASHINGTON, Oct, 3O.-The treasury
department on October 90 last desig-
mated committee to establish di-
viding line between shearling sheep
skins, the wool on which has no com.
mercial value and may be admitted free
and those on which the wool is sufi-
GENTLY long to be subject to duty. The
committee has reported that the wool
on all shearlings has a commercial
value but from the Investigations
made by this committee we are of the
opinion that the wool on the shearling
sheep skins which does not exceed one
quarter of an inch in length, the
body of the pelt is of such little value
that the wool should be passed free
of duty, and that all shearling sheep
skins where the wool exceeds one
quarter of an inch in length should be
subject to duty" This conclusion has
been adopted as the rule of the depart.
ment and all collectors have been SO
notified.

WILL THE VESSELS ASSIST

The Proposed BOnbartlment Of Fort
sumpter stirs the Navy Department.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 3l,--The otiici ais
Of the navy department are watching
with some apprehension the course OF
events at Charleston, s. G.. where, be-
ginning to-day, there is to be cele-
bration of gala week" in COM
memoration of the escape of the city
from total destruction by the earth
quake of 1886. At the request of the
citizens the United States steamers
Dolphin and Vesuvius were sent to
the city to participate The appre-
hension of the naval officers is the an
nouncement that a naval lombard
ment of Fort Sumter is to form part of
the programme. If any such inten-
ton had taken shape on the official
programme the department would
have promptly eountermanded the or
ders of the vessels, for Commodore
Ramsey says that he would not for q
moment tolerate the idea that naval
vessel should participate in an attack,
even though it were sham, on the
national flag.
The officials have concluded that as
no official programme of the celebra-
ton has been brought to the attention
of the department there is at present
no basis for official action. SO it has
been decided to leave the
question as to the partici.
patton of the vessel in the cell
bration to the discretion of Command
err Brownsou, the senior officer of the
little feet, and every confidence is felt
at the sound sense of his Judgment.

THE NEWS OF THE DAY

The first battle of the civil war, Bull Run
was fought on the farm of MI, Mclean. The
family then refugeed into the interior and
took up their residence at Appomattox C. II.
and by singular coincidence it was in their
home that Gen. Lee and Gen. Grant signed
the terms OF surrender. The sofa on which
the two generals sat and the writing desk and
ink stand used by them, are in the possession
Of Mr. +. F. Spilman of Culpeper, whose son
married daughter of Mr.. Mclean, The
Warrenton Virginian says that when the ar
ticles of surrender were signed Gen. Sheridan
offered Mr. Mclean ten dollars for the table
upon which the writing was done, but he re-
fused it and then Gen. Sheridan ordered his
men to carry the table off ol ct arnsis. 1t is
now owned by Mr.. Gunther of Chicago, who
paid FIVE thousand dollars for it.
