A TEMPLE OF THE PEOPLE.
Corner Stone Laying of the htdrai
OF st. John.

Corner. Stone Laying of the Cathsdral
of st. John.
New YORK, Dec. 27.-The corner stone
of the cathedral church of st. John the
Divine was laid this afternoon by Rt.
Rev. Henry G. Potter of the Episcopal
diocese OF New York. The scope OF the
cathedral, as enunciated by Bishop Pot
ter, was declared to be that of temple
of all people, and this aim has been
kept constantly in view in the six years
of work which eliminated today in the
laying OF the corner stone, the first step
in the work of actual construc-
ton. The cathedral will include
seven chapels of topgues, in
each of which there will be service
every Sunday in seven different
languages. In its national aspect the
cathedral project commands attention
on account OF its aid and scope. AL
ready, without any public appeal. and
with very little individual collection,
over 81 600, 900 has been subscribed or
beuueathed to the cathedral. One of
the Grst and largest subscriptions was
made by q Presbyterian, The sittiDgs
are to be forever free. The cost of the
structure is estimated at s5,000,000 to
$40 600 900. The ceremonies were wit
messed by an immense throng.

Co., railroad contractors Of New York,
who have the contract for elevating the
world g fair tracks OF the Illinois Cen
trail railroad, borrowed about 5000, GOO
from the Western National bank of

Today the defendants entered the

bank, besides charging the legal 6 per
cent interest, exacted bonus OF 70 per
cent for making the loan, contrary to
the laws OF the state Of New York, thus
rendering the notea void. Notwith-
standing this, the bank proceeded to
cell, and bought in for the ridiculous
sum Of SIG, eco. the securities put up as

Laughing as q Medicine.

Persons suffering from rheumatism
are naturally anxious to try every pro-
posed remedy. John Raymond, of north
ern Iowa, had tried without relief nearly
every alleged cure suggested by friends.
Then he read this in medical journal:
"There is more benefit in good laugh
than in the hot water remedies, the faith
cures, the electric, and all other new
treatments in the world, and it costs
nothing. If you know of nothing else to
laugh at, laugh at your neighbor."
This was a new idea to poor Mr.. Ray
mond. But what should he laugh at!
In the house was nothing amusing.
However, the medical journal said,
Laugh at your neighbor"
He went out on the front porch, and
sitting in chair, watched the people on
the streets. For time he saw nothing
funny. Then big German walked by,
muttering aloud to himself.
"Ha, ha, hal" went Mr.. Raymond.
The big German stopped and looked.
"Vot's dot?''
"Ha, ha, har
Fobf fol you udW, LAW, udW, ult me!
"Ha, ha, ha!'
Over the fence leaped the big German,
his fists uplifted.
"Ohp cried Raymond, IL meant
no harm. was laughing for my
health"
"Und den you lcetle sick Yankees
laugh nit big Dutchmen! Dot ish all
right. Dot ish ven goot sholze ON lne.
va, va, ya!''
But Mr.. Raymond, who really had not
meant to be rude in the least, gave up
the laugh cure, believing that the
''shoke" was on himself rather than on
the good German.-Youth's Companion.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Dec. 27.-General
Keller Anderson returned from Coal
Creek today, and in answer to the ques-
tion, "Do you anticipate any serious out
break on the part of the Miners" said !:
"No one can tell just what the miners
will do. There are many turbulent
spirits among them who persist in their
opposition to the presence of convicts.
There are about 1853 men at Coal Creek
and they are under strict military disci-
pline. Guard duty during such weather
as this is particularly severe. The mi
ners swear that the convicts will be re-
leased before Governor Buchanan's IS
term expires, and whether they will at
tempt to carry their threat into execu
tion remains to be seen."

The Apprentice System of the United

After brief account of the present sys-

tain amendments which he is confident
would add to the numbers and efficiency
of the service. Prof. D. G. Wells writes
on the necessity of Reform in our Gram

of study. He claims that two or three
years are lost under our i'll arranged
methods, and his suggestions should be
candidly weighed by educators. Rev. 9.
C. Starbuck presents problems OF Mis-
sionary work in the Turkish Empire.
He seems to prove his point, viz:-that
there is need Of change and room for i'm
proyement. DR.. A. E. Dunning urges
the importance of expanding local
churches in New England, that they may
become centres of wider influence. Rev.

Argus doesn't expect that license, high
OF low, would keep them sober. Now as
to the young men who are alleged to
drain whiskey bottles in water closets.
Does the Argus think that as many young
men in this town will drain whiskey bot
ties when they have to resort to water
closets to do it us if they could resort for
that purpose to well lighted, well fur
nished attractive and clean sa-
looms? As for the opinion of some
of 0ut professional and business
men high license would pro-
motp tliety better than prohibition
THAI is 9ilset by the opinion of fully an
eqttai number that it wouldn't. If more
whisky was manufactured in the country
i'll 1891 than ever before, it goes to show
that license laws, which prevail in the
great majority of States, are not effective
in diminishing its consumption but rather
increase it.
Now, esteemed contemporary, per-
haps you will be good enough to
answer some questions You allege that
license will diminish drinking and drunk
enness. How will it do this?
You allege, that one Of the great draw
backs OF prohibition is the difficulty of
enforcing it. What reasonh have you to
think that the difficulty of enforcing a
lieense-law is not just as great?
If a certain number of rumshops are
protected by laws in this town, what rea-
son have you for believing that they will
be the only rumshops in town?
