 The discounting of time and distance and the wrecking of records at Wash iugton park, Chicago, will undoubtedly work a revolution in the manner of har- ness racing in trotting and pacing gaits. And this will come about on account of the new-fangled contrivance which en- abled Nancy Hanks to put in the files the gallant records of Maud s, Sunol and other wonders of the trotting turf, and then while wonder was still on re- garding the mares great achievement enabled Hal Pointer few hours later to smash to flinders the records of John ston, Direct, and all other great pacers.

THE CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION.
 Tomorrow the democratic congress sional convention will be held at New Haven and the result of a canvass which stands unique in the history of Connecticut will be determined. All indications point to the nomination of James P. Pigott. Indeed, a majority of the delegates have pledged themselves to support the brilliant young lawyer; or. at least, have been elected by his friends. So far as Waterbury is con- cerned we do not hesitate to venture the opinion that if an expression of the choice of the people could be secured Mir Pigott would be the popular candidate by large majority. The delegates to understand it if they do not, and know ing, they should obey the sovereign will of the people, whose servants they are.
 Mir Pigott has been pursued with a persistency worthy of a better cause Former so called friends are now his most bitter enemies. Men who talk of charity and honesty have waged unholy war upon him, seeking by unfair means to create opposition to him among those of his own race and creed. It was an abortive effort, hypocritical and mali cious, and disgusted decent people.
 Through it all, to his credit be it said, Mir Pigott acted the gentleman. He manfully entered the race for congress sional honors, acting upon the advice of his nearest and dearest friends. At the outset he an- nounced that the nomination must come to him as the gift of the people he would not buy it. In his own city he gained a signal victory over retired from the contest. Not satisfied the opposition cast about for another champion and prevailed upon H. Hol- ton Wood to enter the race. The bait was tempting and Mir Wood is now in the hands of his friends.
 The DEMOCRAT has nothing to say against MT Wood. He is spoken of as a gentleman of means, who has been suc- cessful in business and who, if nomi- mated and elected, will put forth his best efforts to serve well his country in general and the Second district in par ticular. We find fault not with the man but with the motives and methods of his special agents. With them it is anything to beat Pigott; at least that is as it appears to the DEMOCRAT, which is in position to criticise without fear or favor.
 In his letter to delegates Mir Pigott asks for an open ballot. That is demo- cratic. No man who lacks the courage to cast his vote so that the whole dis trict may know his choice, is worthy of seat in the convention. A secret ballot in convention opens the gateway to corruption. It furnishes an opportu- nity for delegates to thwart the wishes of those whom they represent, without being found out. We trust that the Waterbury delegates will favor an open ballot, and hope that those who could not be induced to express an opinion at Sunday evenings meeting, will vote for James P. Pigott, man of the common people.

Any man who states that the Demo- cratic party has any other policy than that of limiting the revenues to the need of the government misrepresents the platform adopted at Chicago and seeks to achieve success by falsehood rather than by truth.-Bourke Cochran.

You cannot improve on these suits anywhere in America for either style, durability or price. They'll come pretty near lasting until your boy out grows them, no matter how hard he may be on clothes. They cost no more than suits which, in week, will go to pieces in the play ground, and they won't look un. presentable when finally discarded.

N1acaulay,s Birthplace.

Rothley Temple, Lord Macaulay's
birthplace, is for sale by public auction.
1t is an old manor house, some six miles
from Leicester, and there the historian
was born at the end of the year 1900. 1t
cannot be said that Rothley Temple de-
rived more than nominal luster from
the association, for Macaulay left Leices-
tershire before he had left infancy,
and Birchin Lane, in the city, was the
home of his earliest childhood. Instead
Of q manorial park he had Drapers' gar
dens for playground, until he went to
live in the old High street at Clapham.
The Leicestershire manor, however,
has many historical interests besides this
one, and Thirteenth century chapel of
the Knights Templars is attached to the
estate. 1t is wealthy manor, too, for
900 acres produce $4,000 of annual rent;
and, moreover, it is at the headquarters

Cost Of an Ep,a.m,s.

Dr.. Thresh, the medical officer for the
county Of Essex. having obtatped full
returns Of the late epidemic of influenza,
estimates that no less than $40 persons
died under the immediate attack, and
that no fewer than /, 400 deaths occurred
in the county from its direct or indirect
influence. The monetary loss for the
two months during which the epidemic
prevailed he states at no less than ESQ.,
900, on the basis Of the loss of wages of
adults calculated at twelve shillings a
week. He adds: 81 am, however, afraid
that had the county suffered from an
epidemic among cattle, causing in the
time the same number of deaths and in.
dicating the same pecuniary loss, the
alarm produced would have been greater
and more permanent. British Medical

how vestibules should be built to best
serve their purposes for this particular
plan. Thus it is that we have two which
enter the main room only, and we have
one other which goes to the Sunday school
room as we'll as to the main room. AS the
church is planned, it is only thirty feet in
diameter, and with seats arranged around
the wall will accommodate about 200 peo-
pie. The Sunday school room seats 100
About three-fourths of the people in the
Sunday school room can see the pulpit
when the screen between them is lifted, SO
that altogether this building would accom-
modate a congregation of about 275
There is great deal of misinformation
on the seating capacity Of churches. In
every community there are large buildings
which are supposed to seat five, six or
seven hundred people. This statement is
generally made without knowing their
actual capacity A count will generally
show that they are overrated from 20 to
40 per cent.
In case only 200 people are in the
church it is certainly better to fill the
room than it would be to have hundred
or more vacant seats. 1t is much more
satisfactory to preach to full house, even
when the capacity is limited, than to a
certain number of empty seats. In plan
of this kind the Sunday school room can
be used in connection with the large room
and furnish quite as good accommodation
for the participants in the services as
would the extra space and capacity in the
main room.
A plan Of this kind is quite elastic, and g
| few feet additional width and length would
add materially to the seating capacity Ger
tainly more than would be represented by
the actual surface feet added to the struc
ture. The cost of this building will be be
tween $500 and $4,000 If constructed sub
stantially of wood. LOUIS H. GIBSON.

People did not like to worship in a room
which was different from the old room.
When the pews gave way to opera chairs
and the old cathedral plan to one better
adapted to the requirements Of hearing
and seeing, there were those who said that
the church idea was being debased. 1t
was said that the planning of churches
which give all the qualities of the inside
of a theater was altogether out of the way
In truth, as we all know, theater is
commercial venture; it is arranged SO
that the largest number of people can hear
and see all that goes on in front of them.
The theater building is arranged SO as to
contain the largest possible number of
people in comfort. If they cannot see and
hear we'll, the theater is a failure; people
will not go to it; or they buy only good
seats and leave the others vacant. People
who are interested in theaters have worked
out plans which meet all of the objections
caused by bad or uncomfortable seats on
a commercial basis. What better is there
for the people who build churches than to
profit by the work and experimenting in
accommodating large numbers of people
at a moderate cost There is no occasion
for new experiments in these lines.
Here is plan of a church, the idea of
which is taken from the parquet of q
theater. The stage is left off, of course,
because there is no need for it, but in the
part where the stage would be there is
small space arranged for pulpit and choir,
and back of them, and to one side, is the
organ. The seating part of the room only
has any resemblance to the theater plan;
certainly its general appearance is differ
ent-the wall decorations, the form of the
room, its vestibules give it character of
its own.
Generally church buildings are square
on the outside because they have been
made so before. This is true even if the
circular plan Of seating is adopted on the
inside. A rational development of church
plan suggests that the exterior conform
measurably to the internal arrangement.
In the plan given we have this. We have
circular plan on the, inside, and truth
fully and naturally we show the same plan
on the outside, than which nothing can be
more satisfactory.
Certain vestibules are needed. They are
placed where they serve their purpose best.
1t is not a question as to how vestibules
have been built before, but rather as to

Modem church architecture partakes in
measure Of the spirit OF other modern
architecture. There is less of conservatism,
there is less respect for older methods,
there is a general desire to improve the
definite requirements Of the problems with
out reference to what has been done be-
fore. The start in this direction was slow
1t was like all other movements from the
old things-there was a good deal Of re-
sistance.
AT one time there was opposition to the
heating Of church rooms. Even music,
particularly instrumental, was thought to
be something which should not be toler-
ated. The change in church floor plans orig
inally met with good deal of opposition.
