The Pastors Ale Ealizhtensa en- the Sur
day conesrt Question

The Pastors Ale E1liEhleRxa On the Sun
day coneegt Question.
There was a small stiendaace az tbs
pastors conference yesterday after
noon. President Aalnern was ia the
chair. and the meeting Was opeaed With
prayer by the Rev. X. ;. Goodman.
After the minutes OF the last meeting
had been read, Aessrs- A. III. AoFeAsaa
and BeatFle of tne 0ratorio society were
introduced 10 the conference Ia view
Of the resolution passed by the pastors
conferences one week ago. requesting
khe OraIorio society 70 chsnge tee time
fer holding It's concerts from Sunday
evening to some convenient evening OF
vhs week, Messrs. Aloiehead and
Beatsie gave . full explanation OF the
character OF the proposed concert and
ing for It's rsnditlon. Mr.. Beattie said
moral and religious mus.cal entertain
ment for the benefit or laboring people
who could not attead on other evenings,
and TO offer an irducement to young
people 10 spsnd sunday evening ut a
place surrounded by moral atmos-
phere instead Of walking the streets for
. bad purpose xsd VISITING immoral
places. Mr.. Morenead reviewed the
work and progress OF the society for
the last four years. stating that II had
been kept alive BY the senersoslty Of
the members. many of them making
individual contributions. Ii these con-
certs We're 70 be given on any evening
other than Sunday they would be at
tended by expense aad an admission
fee would nave to be charged. Besides
this objection TO week night, another
WAS gwen that the people for whom
the concert was intended could not at
tend, and the purpose OF their efforts
would not BE- accomplished. He said
the society did not wish 10 clash with
the clergy OF the city and had set the
time Tor the concert ut 8 O'Clock, being
an hour later than the church services.
: The Rev. DR.. Far thought the object
q worthy one. and made no serious OBJ
,lectlons To the rendition of the Messiah
on Sunday evening. The Rev. Dr..
Cobb WAS OF the opinion that the Mes
siah ought to be heard by everybody
and that Sunday evening would be an
appropriate time for giving IL under the
circumstances. He moved to recon-
slider the action of the conference with
reference TO the matter, but it was
stated that the members who intro
duced and supported the resolution
were not present, and owing to the
small number III attendance IL would
be better to postpone any further action.
The matter Was lief: unchanged, but
after hearing the explanations by
flessrs. Morehead and Beattie it was
evident that those present had decided
that sunday evening concert OF the
character proposed was not so objec-
tionable as they had ut first character
lied IL.
, The Rev. j. NJ. Davies was to have
read paper on Pre-mellarlalism, but
rs the time was getting late the paper
was postponed until the next meeting.
1t was voted TO invite the Rev. James
Gallup to read paper on the Psalms
at the meeting TO be held in two weeks.
Tie meeting was closed with prayer by
ana Rev. DIR. Cobb.

capital of Aragou, is one of the finest
examples of brick. built tower at pres
ent existing. The tower, which was
built in 1904, is about 275 feet high,
and stands some ten feet out of the pei
pendicular-a little less than the magni6-
cent Campanile at Pisa, which leans over
about thirteen feet. Tradition asserts
that this departure from verticality was
part, of the original conception OF the
designers of such edi6ces. This, how
ever, is not the case. When the Tore
Nuevs was restored in 1860 it was con-
clusively proved that its inclination was
caused by defects of the foundations.
The elaboration of this building oy
means of brick diaper work, and tracerJ
patterns gives it that rich appearance so
frequently met with in c-Moresque
work, and causes it to be mistaken,
when seen from distance, for Moorish
tower. But on closer inspection, the
design of the tracery, the treatment OF
the buttresses, and the unmistakabe
pointed arches are seen to be distinctly
Gothic. One hears with feelings OF re-
gret of the destruction of this pictur-
esoue structure, for so many years the
pride of an old Spanish town; but, IN
country which is veritable mine OF
artistic and historic wealth, It's loss will
not be felt so much as it would be In q
less favored land.

moes, the reindeer ought to thrive in
Alaska as we'll as in Siberia. As to the
moss, official reports indicate that the
visible supply of is even more abundant
in Alaska than on the Siberian coast. It
is also fair to suppose that care and
attention will improve the reindeer like
other animals. In some Arctic countries
these animals are the chief source Of
wealth and very naturally when they fill
such variety of uses. DR.. Sheldon
Jackson, in urging an appropriation by
Congress for introducing the reindeer
into Alaska, noted that in Lapland,
Sweden, Norway and Russia there were
about 100000 tame reindeer, which
supplied many people with much OF
their food and clothing. The present
experiment at Port Clarence witt be
watched with great interest"
Now, I have notseen reindeer in all parts
of the world, but i have made long jour-
neys with them in Northern Siberia, and
dwelt for weeks among the Jakuts, who
own these animals up there, some OF
whom possess herds of them numbering
ten or even twenty thousand. The ap-
pearance Of the Siberian reindeer is some
what OF a disappointment, perhaps, to
those who first made pictorial acquaint-
ance with the delicately built animals

1t was at the same time the greatest
wickedness and the perpetual danger OF
his life, but it was also the excitement,
the pride, and the magnificent voluptu-
BUSINESS of it.
He shuddered.
The idea of losing the love which haa

He cast a. burning glance on this beauh-

rs it true?" she asked. 1T is true! I

She took his hand and gazed at him q
moment without speaking, her eyes
dimmed, her bosom palpitating; then
suddenly rising, she said:
MY beloved, you know have guests!"
and saluting him with smile left the
little room.
This scene, however, left disagreea-
BILE impression on the mind OF Eugene
Cleveland.
He thought Of it impatiently the next
morning while trying horse in Central
Park-when he suddenly found himself
face to face with the ex-private secretary,
Oscar Slyme.
He had never seen this parsonage since
the day he had ventured to make love to
his wife.
The park was almost deserted at this
hour. Slyme could not avoid, as he had
probably done more than once, encount-
ering Cleveland. -.
Seeing himself recognized he saluted
him and stopped, with an uneasy smile
on his lips.
His worn black coat and doubtful linen
showed poverty unscknowedged but pro-
found. Eugene did not notice these de-
tails, or his natural generosity probably
would have been awakened and have
curbed the sudden indignation which took
possession Of him.
He reigned in his horse sharply.
"Ah, it is you, Slyme?" he said. You
have left Boston, then2 What are you
doing now?"

clearly in the curl OF his mustache the
prognostic Of storm.

Gated locks had no secret for you"
Il do not understand your meaning,
mtrmured Slyme.
1Ah, liar as we'll as picklock, eh?"
and throwing out these words with an
accent of withering scorn, Eugene, strik-
ing him one sharp blow across the face
with his riding whip, TRANQUILITY passed
on at walk. ..
Instantly the face of the ex-secretary
became CHASTITY white, save only for the
fiery red mark across it. A look Of NOR:
tai hatred came into his eyes. He gazed
after the slowly retreating form of the
horseman until bend in the road hid him
from view; then Kissing out the words,
"You shall pay dearly for that, Eugene
Cleyeland!" he turned and buried away.
