OLD ST. DAVID'S.
"A Church with an Interesting History aAt
Many Memories.


In 1855 there came from Radnor>
shire, Wales. a company Of people
who settled in Pennsylvania at spot
they called RadnOr Valley. Here in
"a sheltered dale they erected what is
now one of the oldest churches in
this country, building whose aged
walls are covered with a luxuriant
growth Of ivy, and which is surround
ed by venerable oaks Of two centu-
rieS' growth. Tradition says the first
church on this site was built OF logs,
but the present stone e1i1ce dates
from May 10. I715. No pews were at
first prov dcd. but everyone was at
liberty to carry his own chair or
stool Afterwards the custom arose
of selling 70 spaces on which pur-
chasers might erect pewS TO suit their
individual fancy.
There is a decided flavor of print
tive times in the tradition that ia
this building the Colonists assembled
to take measures for resisting an au-
ticipated attack by the Indians under
Pontiac. Revolutionary memories

THE FALL OF SSBASTOPOL.
Amid Flames and Fearful Explosions the
Russians Departed.

l went back to my uneasy couch,
about two o'clock, but l was speedily
aroused by an awful explosion, writes
William Howard Russell in Scribner's.
I FASTENED to my lookout post again.
| The flames were spreading all over the
city. 1t was an ocean of fire. At a.
n. the camps, from sea to valley, were
aroused by an awful shock-the de-
struction of some great magazine behind
the Redan. In quick succession one,
two, three, four explosions followed.
At 4:45 u. m. the magazines of the Flag
staff Bastion and Garden batteries ex-
ploded. The very earth trembled at
each Outburst. but at $50 a. m. when
the whole of the huge stone fortresses,
the Quarantine and Alexander, were
hurled into the air almost simultane-
ously with appalling roars, and the sky
was all Redeemed by the incessant
flashes of the bursting shells, the bold
est held their breath and gazed in awe
struck wonder.
1t was broad day. The Russian feet
was gone, the last of their men of war
was at the bottom-only the steamers
were active, towing boats and moving
from place to place on mysterious err
rands Thirty-fve magazines in all
We're blown up, and through all the
night of the eth and the morning of
September 9 the Russians were march
ing out of the south side. We could see
the bridge covered with them still. At
6:45 a. m. the last body Of infantry
crossed the bridge and mounted the OPP
posite bank. Yes, the south side was
left TO the possession of the allies at
lastl SebastOpol, the city, the docks
and the arsenal were ours.
In half an hour more the end OF the
bridge itself was foated away by some
invisible agency from the south side,
and in less than an hour the several
portions of it were collected at the fur
Their side of the roadstead. Meantime
the fires, fed By small explosions,
spread till the town seemed like one
great furnace vomiting out columns Of
velvety black smoke TO heaven. Soon
after seven o'clock columns of smoke
began TO ascend from Fort Paul. In
minute or two more flames were seen
breaking out in Fort Nicholas The
first exploded with a stupendous roar
later in the day; the mines under the
latter did not take FIRE.
The retreat of Cortschalof was ef-
fected with mastery skill.

MUST BLOCK THE REVOLUTION.

The Topeka Capital gives answer to
THE EAGLES question of why not let the
revolutionists finish their work. The
Capital, which takes our question for
our sentiment, says:
I've can but express surprise at the
sentiments of the EAGLE. The question
involved in the present contest between
the legal house of representatives and
the PopuiIst rump house, sustained as it
is by the senate Populist majority and
the governor, is not one of gain or policy
or politics, but one of principle. The
legal house. consisting of g. members
holding certificates from the state can
vasslug board was organized according
10 law. the IS members, al! Populists.
holding certificates claim the right 10
control. The fact that the governor and
senate have recognized the minority
and its right to unseat certIiiCated mem
bers, ana to seat ten members who have
no right 10 their seats, does not change
the legal status of the majority. Has
the majority of the members the right to
organize the house: is the question. The

The future president looked on the

LITTLE HOPE.

Speaker Douglass squeezed the squeak
out of the rump aggregation at Topeka
in great shape. No fair minded person,
conversant with the matter, contends
for a moment that the Dunsmore house
is anything but usurpation. Every
body knows that the Republicans were
right and were in the majority. The
only power that has rendered the efforts
of the majority abortive is that of the
chief executive, whose excuse is the
revolutionary excuse that he represents
the will of the people. In the mean
time affairs of state are getting into an
awkward fix. The interests of Kansas
at the worlds fair are being neglected.
All of the important legislation promis-
ed, including revision of the assess
ment and collection laws, an appellate
court for the relief Of the supreme court,
the reduction of expensive boards, etc.
defeated by the Pop house two years
ago. are as far from realization
as ever, and the appropria-
ton bills with all their thousands Of
Items which must be gone over by the
ways and means committee of both
houses, have not been heard from. In
the mean time the whole matter has be-
come so muddled that the corporations
of the state may decline 20 pay any
taxes imposed by such questionable
body.
While the Republican house is I'M
questionably in the right, what it can
ever possibly do, SO long as Lewelling
holds to his revolutionary policy, would
be hard to guess. Speaker Douglass
protests, however sound and unanswer-
able, are as pearls before swine t. such
legal advisors to Lewelling as Noah
Allen, Fred Close and that unknown ad-
venturer Arse.
In the mean time nearly one-half Of
the time of the session has expired.

LAMAR'S SUCCESSOR.

The Boston Herald, Notwithstanding
its mugwump procliyities, makes the
following sensible remarks about the ap-
pointment of Justice Lamar's successor:
ut is difficult to see how the Democrats
can be justified in refusing to consider
the nomination of a justice of the United
States supreme court III the place of Mr..
Justice Lamar, if President Harrison
makes it. In fact, it is President Harri-
sons duty to make the appointment.
If the Democratic party is unfortunate
in the death of Democratic judge at
this time, it has itself to thank for this.
Justice Lamar was sick man when he
was put upon the bench, and then there
was no reason to expect his life would
be prolonged beyond the present time.
But the real question at issue is only as
to the fitness of such appointment as the
present president may make. If it is a
fit one, it ought to be confirmed, and we
are bound to say that if it corresponds
with the previous appointments of Presi-
dent Harrison to the bench, it will be a
fit one"

AN ARIZONA TURKEY HUNT.

Francisco Examiner.
Away down in the southeastern sec
ton of the territory there is a creek
| called Rio Prieto, and nicknamed the
Turkey river" 1t is the only place
! within about two hundred miles where
wild turkeys abound, but then there are
enough Of them in the narrow valley TO
stock a state with this greatest of
fowls, wild or tame. Just before
Thanksgiving, prospectors, miners and
ranchers come into the canyon from as
! much as one hundred miles away to
shoot turkeys for dinner on the great
day. For day or SO the slaughter is
tremendous, but the birds do not seem
70 be thinned out much by it, for they
are almost unmolested during the rest
of the year. The place is so far from
anywhere, so difficult of access, that no
body Will brave the hardship of miles
Of desert hills and rocky cliffs except
under the great inducement of Thanks
giving.
Some of the hunters come so far that
they nave to make ''jerlzy' of the
turkey meat in order to get t. home. A
fellow wants turkey pretty hard when
he viii travel one hundred miles for 1t
and then take it in the shape of sailed
and sun-drled strips and shreds, and
usually fried in gravy of bacon grease

A Thanksgiving hunt in the valley of
the little river is worth trip. if any
thing in that line can compensate for
twenty or fifty-mile trip over bare
rocks with the thermometer at one hun
dred and ten degrees. There are no
end of turkeys in the valley. As you
walk up the creek great flocks of them,
both the big black fellows and the
smaller bronze turkeys. swarm up the
banks into the brush like quail One
of them viii carry away as much lead
as deer, and there are all sorts of
stories about turkeys getting away
with one wing and one leg broken.
The artist at the business shoots off the
turkeys head A man who would use
shotgun under the circumstances
would 'ground-sluice" quail, if he would
not fish for trout with giant powder.
Half a dozen birds make a tremen-
dous bag, about as much as a pack
mule can carry out of the valley, for
they grow to a marvellous size. Old
timers say that gobbiers weighing
thirty pounds have been taken out of
the Prieto canyon.

them carry out their free trade and free
coinage policy, and they viii soon get
the country into the worst condition il
has ever been in yet.
Kansas was never more prosperous
than she has been during the past year.
and if Harrison had been reelected,
that prosperity would have continued.
Prices of all products raised IN that
state, excepting wheat, and perhaps corn
and cattle, are unusually high, and but
for the fact that there has been such an
enormous production of wheat, corn and
cattle, the prices of these articles would
have been in a good paving shape for
farmers.
1t is reported that jerry Simpson is
working for bounty on sugar, not only
in the state, but proposes to advocate a
bounty and tariff in congress. Well,
Jerry Simpson will do good thing for
his state, if he succeeds in carrying these
measures through, but they are IN direct
opposition to the policy of his party, ard
in line with the Mckinley bill. If the
Democrats and Populists will only take
up the Republican platform and carry it
out, there will be some hope for our in

ADY WILL CONTEST,

The Newton Kansan, published at the
home of Hon. Joseph Ady, in noting the
claim put forth by the Republican lead
ers at Topeka, that Mr.. Ady is the legal
ly elected United States senator, makes
this semi-euthorized statement:
1.-The law provides that the person re-
ceiving a majority of all the votes is
chosen. The claim is that the senate
consists of forty members; the Populist
mem bers of the lower house never hav-
ing attended meeting of the legal
house are not members; this would leave
GO Republicans, 2 Democrats and In

the law the vote in joint session would

WOMEN'S REAL WANTS,

1t was supposed that when Governor
Flower of New York appointed Susan B.
Anthony to the civil position she desired
in that state, she would he sufficiently
placated TO take more optimistic view
of the future for her sex, but it seems to
have the contrary effect. Miss Anthony
takes 4 gloomy view of the future Of
society. She is actually of the opinion
that we are on the eve Of an era of un-
married women. Our civilization is
changing. Daughters cannot be sup
ported at home, and there is nothing
there to busy them. The women used
TO spin and weave, make carpets and
soap, but now all that is done for them
in factories, and the women organize
Might've parties and gossip clubs instead.
Young men do not earn enough money
TO support their wives, and there is such
a craze for dissipation among them that
the women would rather go into a store
for almost nothing than marry. This
proves clearly that it is not political pre-
ferment that the strong minded women
want, so much as a strong arm to lean
upon and strong companion to con-
fde in.

The proposition made by the Rock
Island railroad company a short time
ago to cooperate with the counties in the
matter of inducing immigration to the
state IS receiving attention in several
counties already. The Greensburg Re
publican of last week says a meeting
was held in that place a few days ago at
which an agent for KIowa county was
chosen and commissioned to act with
the railroad people in bringing immigra-
ton TO the county. This is a matter
that all the counties are interested in
snd ali should cooperate in the laudable
undertaking.
