KANSAS CHURCHES.

At Seneca the NJ. E. church people
will erect fine edifce on the site of the
old church.
At Manhattan and, as has been
noticed, in several other Kansas towns,
the various churches hold union services
during the hot weather.
Topeka Capital: Rev. J. E. Kuyken-
dali, pastor of the Cumberland Presby-
terrain church of this city, is making he
roic efforts towards hquidating the
church Indebtedness. Since coming
here about year ago, he has succeeded
in replacing the small building by a
much larger and more substantial one,
and within the past month has raised
$500 toward the payment of church ex-
penses.
Topeka Journal: The Westminster
Presbyterian church has selected a pas
tor to succeed Rev Theo. W. Harris,
who resigned several weeks ago on ac-
count of his eyes. A unanimous call
has been extended to Rev. E. S. Sar-
rand, pastor of the Mt. Washington
Presbyterian church, Pittsburg. Penn.
Mr.. Sarrand occupied the pulpit at
the Westminster church a few weeks
ago. He has accepted the call, and will
| come some time this fall.
Kansas City, Kan, ten: Rev. DR..
D. S. Stephens. editor of the Methodist
Recorder at Pittsburg, Pa, is in the
city, the guest of Rev. DR.. A. II. Tevis.
DR.. Stephens is here to assist in the ar
engagements for locating the new Cen
tral Methodist Protestant church, and
also to oversee the matter relating to
the location of the big university here,
as the scheme was endorsed and ordered
investigated ard assistance pledged by
the last general conference of the
church.
North Topeka item: at the close OF
the prayer meeting held at the Christian
church while the pastor, Rev. Irelan,
was engaged in conversation by a couple
of the members of the church, the rest
of the congregation went over to the
pastors house and took possession OF
| the premises. The occasion of the sur

FIRE underwriters have for years
been continually harping on the
enormous fire waste of the
country, and in that period
have been offering all sorts of
suggestions as to the proper methods
of reform. They have SAID that the
buildings must be constructed in a
better manner and that the people
must be educated up to a much
higher standard regarding the pro-
lection of their own property. They
have year after year petitioned the
President to incorporate something in
his message to Congress that would
inaugurate reform movement and
all along have appeared to be in earn
est in what they have said and in
what they have tried to do. But
they have evidently forgotten these
things now. In 1893 there will be a
chance for underwriters to accom-
plish more in the direction which
they themselves have pointed out
narily, and no steps are being taken
by those who have been the loudest
in their cries. Important privileges
have been secured for fire insurance
exhibit at the Worlds Fair in all the
improved methods of building con-
struction, but because of the petty
jealousies and chickering's the scheme
seems likely to die from lack of sup
port. The question has been placed
before the companies Of the land in
its best form; it has been discussed
pro and con by the press; it has been
urged by the exposition authorities,
but to no purpose. Their officers
either cannot or will not see that the
chance now before them is the best
ever offered in the history of fire in
surance and that nOlo is the time and
the Worlds Fair the place to strike
The time in which such a display
must be prepared to properly exhibit
is rapidly passing by and if under
writer's wish to keep up the reputa-
tiOn they have established as the
great benefactors of mankind they
will do something and do it quickly,
not waste valuable time in waiting
for some one else to do the work and
thus lose so much that otherwise
might be gained.

stata House Changes.

At the meeting of the executive coun-
Gil some of the new rooms on the first
floor Of the south wing, just completed,
were apportioned.
The north room on the west side will
be occupied by the labor commissioners.
The state mine inspector, who has never
had an Office in the house heretofore,
will also be accommodated in this room.
The middle room on the west side is
now occupied by the Goss ornithologi-
cal collection. The state board of par
dons and the live stock sanitary commits
sion will occupy the southwest corner
room.
The live stock sanitary commission
never has had quarters in the building
and the board of pardons has always
used committee room of the house OF
representatives on the third floor.
The three suites of two rooms each on
the east side are reserved for the su-
preme court commissioners, and will be
occupied by them as soon as they are
finished. Judge Simpson will probably
have the southeast corner, and the other
justices will decide between themselves
as to their respective locations.
The room to be vacated by the labor
Commissioners will be given to the State
Historical society, to relieve, somewhat
the crowded condition of that depart
ment.
The changes will be made as soon as
arrangements for new furnishings are
completed.

THE first impression received by
visitor at the Worlds Fair grounds.
whether he be sympathetic and
volatile Frenchman or a disappointed
New Yorker, is one of amazement at
the progress made. It seems almost
impossible that SO many imposing and
substantial structures should have
been put up in SO short a space Of
time. There is one feature of the
case. moreover, that is not taken into
consideration. During much Of the
time the work has been pushed in the
most Yillainous weather. Hopes had
been entertained of making great
Roadway during the months of May
furnished only eight fair days and
June, so far, has been little less than
one long storm. In addition to the
retarding effects of the bad weather
more or less damage has been done by
wind, lightning and water. Not
withstanding these discouragements
the work has been pushed merrily
ahead, and now the force of workmen
is to be greatly increased in order to
make up for impaired time. The
Buildings will be ready for the dedica-
tory exercises, and they will stand as
monument to extraordinary pluck
and enterprise, as the terms are IN
derstood and applied in Chicago.

THE story comes that the people
of the Southwest have discovered how
to produce rain and have now no use
for Dyrenforth or any need of govern
ment help in case of drought. 1t is
q valuable and most important dis
covery; but while they are about it
the people of the Southwest would do
well to go on and discover also some
means of checking rain when it be-
comes too plentiful. An invention
of that character would have been
very popular in this vicinity all
through the months of April and
Nav.

THE resolution of sympathy with
ex-Secretary Blaine in his new be-
reavement that was passed at the
National Democratic Convention will
be long and admiringly remembered.
It was a most thoughtful and gracious
act on Congressman Cables part in
moving such a resolution, and the
convention honored itself in adopt
Ing it with so much genuine hearth
ness. Political gatherings sometimes
show human nature at a sad disad-
vantage, and this Chicago incident
does a great deal to make US think
better of our kind. But if the Blaine
resolution was full ''of the milk of
human kindness" an article that is
far from being so scarce as misan-
thropes and pesslmists contend that
it is, so was it full of patriotism. 1t

A special from Upper Marlboro, Nd. TO

ance was large and the bidding

were far in excess of what was anticipated.
The yearliDgs and 2.year- olds were pur-
chased at high prices. and the majority OF

Of residents Of this county. All the horses
were ST well-known pedigree. Many OF
the dams were registered.

General Bealle. of Prince Georges county.
The late Senator Barbour was accous-
toned to spend the summer months IN
this his country residence, which Is but a
few miles from Washington aud contains
about LOO acres. Here he began the
raising of blooded stock. which have be-
come celebrated throughout the northern

Slavery has no recognition in Peruvian
law, but there are ways OF maintaining
and explaining it not unworthy of some
admiration for their cleverness. Take,
for instance, an established chacra or
hacierda-any hacienda. According to
law the Indian Is a free man. Certainly.
Also. according to law, no man-whlte,
mestIzo, or Indian-may leave the place
where he has contracted debt until he
has paid 1t if his creditors enjoin (em-
barger) him.
Now, 1t happens that the Indians are
all and always heavily la debt to the
owners of the chacra where they live. and
said owners do choose TO enjoin them.
Wherefore. concludes Hdrper's Magazine.
the Indian remains perpetually embar-
COED. When the young Indian has grown
large enough to do what may be regarded
~ a mans work he enters service.
He receives the habitual recompense OF
nine soles per month. On TINS sum he
cannot live. The master knows 1t. the
Indian knows it; but what Is to be done
when such is the established stipend
throughout the length and breadth OF the
valley? The result Is. receiving none OF
the commonest necessaries of life gratui-
tously, he overdrsws from the nrst. A
strict account Is kept of all that he OBJ
tains from his master Of food, clothing,
implements. and knicknscks; papers OF
injunction are duly served, and be Is CON-
