How Bishop whitaker Built Church AT
Virginia City.

How Rishop Whitaker Built a Church at
Virginia City.
The way Bishop Whitaker built
a,church in Virginia City is thus
told by the San Francisco Exam
iner: After deal of hard work he
finally got all his trustees save one,
and he selected Abe - for the
honor, though Abe was a sinner,
and.a profane one at that. Abe at
tended the first meeting Of the trus-
tees.
"I would be glad to help you,
Bishop" he said, "but - it
r, 1 don't know any more than a
MISUNDERSTANDING achurch."
But the Bishop prevailed. He
informed the trustees that he had
plansand specifications fora church
thatwouldcost 3d. 900, lot included.
He said he believed $1,000 might
be raised by subscription, leaving
The church butS7, 800 in debt, which
amount would run at low interest
and might be paid up in four or five
years. Everybody expressed ap-
proval except Abe, who kept silent.
His opinion was asked by the cler-
gyman.
"Why it, Bishop cried Abe,
"a told you that [ knew nothing
about church business, but ! don't
like the plan. If you we're to get
money at II per cent per annum,
which is only half the banking rate,
yourinterest would amount to near
" $1,000 a year, or almost as much
as you expect to raise for a COM
mencement, Ifyou want a church
it, why don'tyou work the bus
ness asthough you believed ftwould
pay?"
Abe sat down and the Bishops
heart sank,
"Well, have you got any better
scheme?" asked one of the trustees
"You ,bet,1", said Abe. 81 move
that an assessment Of 81, 900 be lev

same to be payable Immediately
The Bishop had just come from
the East, and he was bewildered
The good man faltered:

"Never mind Bishop" said Abe
well take yours out in preaching.
The checks were forthcoming
and Abe went through the camp Of
a.collecting, tour, striking every
body-merchants, gamblers, ant
saloon-keepers, all alike. In al
hour he had the whole $4,000 an,
carried a certificate for it to tn
clergyman.
"Take that for a starter, Bishop,

ing MIR. Lamb, chairman committee on

from your local agents to St. Louis and re-
turn via the Texas and Pacific railway. 1t
is hoped that large delegation will attend.
These rates are good to all who wish to at
tend the conference, and none should stay
at home who desire to be at the convention
and see St. Louis. 1t may be an age before
another opportunity is offered you in such
4 righteous cause.
Editorial transportation has been ar
ranged for the following members of the
Reform Press Association: J. w. Erwin,

If any of the parties named do not wish to

the Texas and Pacific railway, Dallas,
Tex, and let him know their intentions,
and those who 60 should also write him at
once and work with all their might to Sc
cure a large delegation to the convention.
They should each form themselves into q
special committee of one to see the dele
gates near them and urge their attendance
and ask others who are believers in reform
to go.
Since Brother Park has declined to work
with me OH this committee the work all
falls upon my shoulders and l want you to
help me to make the trip a success. You
editors owe it to the cause of reform to the
railways which have made such concessions
TO you anu the cause you represent, and to

curing these tavors.

thanks for the interest they have shown in
this matter, and to the press for courtesies

A AIuSwump Kick.

New York, Feb. 11-There was held to-
night in the large hall of Cooper Union a
mass meeting of Democrats to protest
against holding the Democratic convention
for the election of delegates TO the national
convention on February %, after only four
weeks notice. This convention has been
denomiuated Hills Snap Convention -
and the meeting Tonight was promoted
largely by the adherents of Cleveland.
They affirm the call for a convention in
February is a devious method designed to
suppress expression and representation in
behalf of their favorite and the demonstra-
ton tonight will be the publicly expressed
voice of protest.
Among those who signed the call were
Frederick r. Condert, ex-Mayor Daniel F.
Tremann, Oswald Ottendorfer e Ellery
Anderson, Charles ]. Canda, Orlando B.
Potter, ex-Mayor w. r. Grace, ex-Mayor
Ed yard Cooper, Everett Wheeler, William
E. Curtis, Eugene Kelly, Jr., ex-Just;ce
Charles p. DAILY, eX-hayor Abram S.
Hewitt, Henry c. Marquand, Clifford A.
Hand, Henry K. Beekman, ex-United
States District Attorney Stephen A Wal
ker and ex-Secretary of the Treasury
Charles S. Fairchild.
Long before O'Clock, the hour for open
ing the meeting, every seat and every avail
able inch of standing room in the hall was
occupied, and many of those late seeking
entrance were unable to get in.
At 5 O'Clock Oswald Ottendorfer, editor
and proprietor of the New York Stats
Zeitung, stepped forward to the speakers
stand and called the meeting to or
der. When the hearty applause had
subsidized, he said in part: You prove
by your presence here that you feel deeply
the indiguity and insult cast upon You by
an attempt TO be represented in the Demo
cratic national convention by delegates NOM
mated through maneuvers and schemes
arranged In midwinter without consulting
or giving any opportunity 10 express the
wishes OF the Democratic masses
in relation to the questions which
influence materially our welfare and
the future of our common country. The
whole proceeding of the Democratic state
committee is as provoking as it is uncalled
for, and its only explanation is that it is well
adapted TO promote the schemes of some
intriguing politicians who have reason to
avoid open daylight and to try to secure
snap Judgment by which they can
pretend TO represent the Democracy
of the Empire state. 1t is not for the pro-
motion OF the ambition of this man or for
the realization OF this or that CLIQUE, but
for the triumph of the principles in
the defense Of which the Democracy
of the United States achieved their
victory during the last two years, that we
enter our protest against the appointment
of delegates from this state by a conven-
ton to be held at Albany on Febru-
airy % The members of the Democratic
committee made fearful mistake, and q
mistake in such matter is worse than a
crime. Seeing the results of their
error, hope they will retrace
their steps and adopt measures in
accordance with the requirements of fair
ness and Justice. II not, then they have
