The Sermon on the Resurrection.

10 ms EQhOT o. Hts he9tote''
SIR:-In your issue OF Thursday, 10th,
Gage ), you have an article, The Res
urrection." DO you correctly report
Rev. DR.. R. r. Swope? Does he say,
Il think the controversy over the mat
or OF the resurrection has largely
crown out OF the literal and material in
,erpretation OF the word bodB." This is
,ll absurd, ridiculous, entirely out Of
,ur mode Of thinking. Again, does he
ay, TOO many of US look upon it as
he same body that is laid in the grave,
when we have in mind the resurrection
II the body-we think Of the material
hody?" II so, is not the Rev. Doctor op
posed in his teaching to the word of God
md the universal belief OF Christians?
Is he not at least on that point rational

This great play which will be at the

that iammed Forepaugh's Theatre yes
terday. The occasion was the first rep
resentation of new play in this CT ty
entitled The Cannon Ball Express.
While the author does not open new
field in the drama, it must be admitted
that the play is as good II not better
than many other successful and real
istic entertainments.
ALVIN JosLIN TUESDAY.
The popular comedian, Chas. Il. Davis,
will appear at the Opera House next
Tuesday night in his well known play,
calvin Jos.in,", in which he is familiar
to all theatre-goers. AS delineator OF
rural characters, Mr.. Davis has undis-
putaby enjoyed popularity which is
seldom accorded an actor. He invari-
ably draws crowded houses and amuSes
all who see him. In presenting his IA
nous play of calvin Joslin" this season,
be has mounted it with much care, and
more than ordinary affection has been
paid to scenic detail.
A WORD ABOUT THE WIDOWS.
Widows are courted and worshipped
in real life, and IRE made heroineS in
the light literature. On the stage they
are the comedy characters around which
the eager male moth flutters and
with much humorous effect. The
latest of this latter use is in Willie Gill
lette's comedy, "Mr. WilkinSon's
Widows" which will be presented at
the Opera House Monday night. Mr..
Gillette, recognizing the principle that
if little OF a good thing is good, more
is much better, has taken two widows
as the subject matter or hilarious centre
piece Of his rollcking farce.

The beautiful white buildings of the Ex-
position are to be sold as junk. They are
soon to be advertised and knocked down to
the highest bidder. About the only things
of future use in them are the iron and steel
arches and timbers. 1t is thought that not
more than 81 900, 900 can be realized from the
auction. The most expensive buildings will
probably bring the least money. The Manu-,
facturers and Liberal Arts buildings, which
cost 81, 900, 600, and which has $500, 900 in
arches alone, will of necessity, it is believed,
be given to the man who will tear it down
and carry the material away. The magni-
tude of the undertaking will be realized
when it is stated that each arch contains TWEEN,
ty car loads of steel, all the pieces being firmly
riiveted together. The salvage in the Ad,
ministration building will also be very small.
The Mines building, on the contrary, is re,
garded as a more favorable prospect. The
steel arches are much lighter than those OF
almost any other building on the ground, and
could be taken down and set up again for a
large workshop or factory. They would also
be available for a depot of moderate size

No Blanks Nm This Competition.

This is q competition of rather an unusual
nature. 1t is common to offer prizes for the
best story, or picture. or architectural plan,
all the competitors risking the loss OF their
labor and the successful one merely selling his
for the amount of the prize. But the Press
Claims Company's offer is something different.
Each person is asked merely to help himself,
and the one who helps himself to the best ad-
vantage is to be rewarded for doing 1T. The
prize is only q stimulus to do something that
would be we'll worth doing without it. The
architect whose competitive plan for a club
house on a certain corner is not accepted has
spent his labor on something of very little use
TO him, But the person who patents a simple
and useful device in the Press Claims Com
pany's competition, need not worry if he fail
to secure the prize. lie has a substantial re
suit to show for his work-one that will COM
mand its value in the market at any time.
The plain man who uses any article in his
daily work ought to know better how to i'm
prove it than the mechanical expert who
studies it only from the theoretical point of
view. Get rid of the idea that an improve
ment can be too simple to be worth patenting.
The simpler the better. The person who best
succeeds in combining simplicity and popular
ity, will get the Press Claims Company's
twenty five hundred dollars.
The responsibility of this company may be
Judged from the fact that its stock is held by
about three hundred of the leading newspa-
pers of the United States.

The financial panic has not been without
its compensations as well as hardships to all.
Sensible men have learned that it is best to
keep out of debt and save "a little for a rainy
day." when times are easy. The farmer has
learned that he must keep his smoke-house
nearer home than he has for several years,
and laboring men generally have learned
that they can never hope to receive support
from the government. The merchant has
learned more caution in the credit business
and that it is much better to keep his goods
on the shelf than to sell them on time to a
man who will leave the country or resort to
any excuse handy for not paying his debts.
Credit will not be 80 cheap hereafter. The
man who gets it will undoubtedly deserve it.
