Changes In the Church,

The New Jersey state Epworth league
convention, at its session in Newark, de-
nounced the race track legislation, pro-
tested against the opening on Sunday Of
the Worlds fair and declared unani-
mously that it discouraged the use of
tobacco.
The Rev. II. S. Springer of Arlington,
in speaking for the Newark district,
said:
Bring back the amen corner and the
mourners' benches, and let us not con-
tinue in the present formal way. Take
down the advertisement of the under
taker that is on the front Of our
churches and put in its place the inscrip-
ton, Il am the resurrection and the life.
"Take away the little sign with M.
E. Church on it and place one 90 feet
long across the front of the edifce hay
ing the words Central Methodist Epis-
copal Church in big letters, every word
spelled out. Let's have some sensation
alism to cope with the DEVILS plans of
work"

Civil Service Reform.

Clyil service reform is moving on sure
II. 1t would be expedited if those who
believe in it would live up to it. As we
have said before, one trouble is that peo-
pie are good natured, and when their
friends want places under n new admin
istration-that is, places not vacant and
only to be made vacant by the demands
OF the office seeEers-these good natured
people allow themselves to become part
of the pressure for the places by their
recommendations and solicitations. It
must sometimes look to the appointing
powers as if the whole country rose up
and demanded not civil service reform,
but positions in the civil service.
There is such a thing as rushing a re-
form ahead of public opinion and thus
injuring the reform, and there are many
positions which are political in the true
sense and should be taken possession of
by the party of the majority after every
election. But it is the duty of every citi-
zen to do his share in eliminating not
only the spoils system, but the spoils
idea, from politics; to press upon the au-
thorities the necessity of continually ex-
tending the merit system, and of acting
according to its spirit outside of the
classified service. For it is no exaggera-
ton to say that the evils of the spoils sys-
tenn are illustrated in every sinister ca
reer in the history of modern American
politics; every disgraceful success" is
to be laid at its doors; every corrupt
ring has here its origin. 1t is the menace
and enemy Of honest administration in
every community in the country; it de-
grades our legislatures, state and ma
tional, and the cause of good govern
ment triumphs only when this pernicious
system is thwarted OF overcome.-Cen-
fury.

SUNDAY CLOSING OF FAIR.
THE CASE SUBMITTED TO THE COURT
FOR FINAL JUDGMENT.
Attorneys For the Fair Make Point Of
Dedication Of Parks For Pleasure Re-
sort and United States Attorneys Cite
REIMBURSEMENT to Government.

CHICAGO, June 2.-Just before fed
eral court adjourned this afternoon
the first move towards o decision in
the suit brought by the government
to close the Worlds Fair Sunday was
made. Eager to obtain a prompt
ruling United States Attorney Mil
christ asked that in the absence of a
permanent decision a restraining
order be given for next Sunday. He
was refused. Judge Woods, speaking
for the court, said no intimation could
yet be given as to the time decision
would be reached. For the EXPOSE
ton it was contended by Attorney
Edwin Walker that the injunc-
tion against Sunday opening by the
federal court directory must neces-.
sarily violate it Or violate the contrary
mandate of the state court. Mr..
Walker quoted several authorities to
show that people could not be kept
out of the parks on Sunday or any
other day. Here he was questioned
by Judge jenkins. "Then the logic
of the thing seems to be that there
could be 10 admission fee charged, is
not that go ?"
"No sir, the public could not insist
upon being allowed free admission.
On account of the large expenditure of
money, the exposition authorities
have a right to charge fee. This
point has been passed upon by Judge
Tulley in the case of the Columbian
Steamship company
Attorney High for the government
produced a report of the dedication
exercises of the exposition and read a
portion of President Higginbotham's
address in which he formally trans
ferred the enterprise to the national
commission. This High held placed
the entire exposition in the hands of
the government and invested the
federal representatives. with full con-
troll of the fair.
"What do you think Mayor Harri-
son meant when he rendered Chi
cagos distinguished guests the free
dom of the city?" asked Judge Jen-
kins, referring to the courtesy ex-
tended Duke Veragua. The question
caused ripple of laughter which
the court had to rebuke with his
gavel.
"Well, Unanswered Mr.High, who was
taken aback at the queery of the
court. "Of course that is for your
honor to decide"
There is much speculation tonight,
that now the case is finally in the
Judges hands for decision as to
when the decision will be rendered.
Not few expect decision tomorrow,
but such quick action is not generally
looked for.

AeHImony IN the dummy Case
Taken Yesterday.
Yesterday afternoon in Justice Bar
boul's court the hearing of additional.
testimony in the dummy accident in
quest was taken. The hearing of tes-
timony is slow and tedious work,
there being only two witnesses ex-
amined last afternoon. The following
is the evidence in brief:
j. c. Miller, sworn, testified sub
stantially as follows: Was sitting on
front platform of rear car of east bound,
train, back toward engine, was
thrown backwards onto platform of
other car. Saw a Mexican crushed
between the cars. Conductor was not
on platform. Passed over road four
times that day; never saw two trains

time; did not notice train slacken.

Playing Santa Claus.

Charles Keene's 9-year-old son Freddie
had a peculiar experience that nearly
cost him his life. Freddie had climbed
to the roof Of 1-story building used for
cooking and washing purposes at the
rear of his fathers house in East Nor
walk, and espying the chimney, which
was about as high as his head, thought
it would be great sport to play Santa
Claus, climb down the fue and, like the
jolly little fat man in the story book,
descend to the room below.
The youngster had proceeded about
five feet when he discovered that the
chimney was not large enough to allow
his body to pass further. His struggles
to climb back again only resulted in his
becoming wedged firmly in the chimney.
Workmen near by heard his cries for
help and FASTENED to the youngsters as
sistance, but before he could be extri-
Gated the chimney had to be torn down.

Here's q Chance.

A professional man Of wide reputation,
who resides at Parkersburg, w. Va,
and is great lover of aquatic sport, de-
termined to surprise his friends here this
spring by coming out with new yacht,
and as a recreation and to make the sur
prise more complete concluded to build
the vessel himself from model of his own.
Being the owner of large househe went
to great expense in fitting up the garnet
as a workshop, after which, having pro-
cured the necessary timber, he spent the
entire winter at work on the boat.
He turned out a trim looking craft,
about 80 feet long by feet beam, man
ufactured his sails and got her all ready
to launch when the idea dawned on him
that he had made no arrangements to
get it out of the building. Any one that
can suggest plan to gether out without
tearing out the front or back or taking
off the roof of the house can get the boat
at a low price.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

To Blow Up Cyclones.

DR.. G. R. Carpenter has evolved plan
by which approaching cyclones can be
bombarded and many lives and thou
sands of dollars worth of property
saved. DR.. Carpenter says that the great
Mississippi and Missouri valleys COM
pose the cyclone centers of the CONT
nent. His plan is to have stations where
men can be trained to watch for a COM
ing twister and then destroy it before it
reaches the city by exploding it with
torpedoes. He said: 81 would have a
station sufficiently high to permit the
watchmen to see cyclone when it is
coming. The torpedoes would have to
be sent into the cloud scientifically, of
course, and therefore men should be
trained to the service. l would have the
station attached to the weather bureau,
which would aid in getting advance in
formation Of cyclones. Strong marine
glasses could be used at night by watch
men, and an alarm could be given in
plenty of time. Ny method would Of
course be Of no use in hurricanes, but |
am fully convinced that my theory is a
good one for cyclones and well worth u
trial. Cor. Pittsburg Dispatch.

Became Crazy From Quitting Tobacco.

There was lively time on Pullman
car On the Southern road last night while
en- route from New Orleans to this city.
At Chattanooga William G. Blackburn
Of this city, porter on one of the cars,
began to act queerly. He ran through
the train screaming and nearly scared
the passengers out of their wits. At one
time he took all the money out Of his
pockets and threw it out of the window.
He finally became so violent that it was
necessary to chain him in an apartment.
Upon arriving at the Grand Central
depot he was taken to police headquar-
tiers, from which he was sent to the city
hospital. The only explanation of Black
burns strange conduct was that he had
been crazed by tobacco. Some time ago
he was an inveterate user. of the weed,
but stopped suddenly. Yesterday he took
a big chew of tobacco before he began to
act crazy.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

HOW Two Rrnthers Met.

There was touching scene at the
lunch counter in the Cincinnati, Hamil-
ton and Dayton station in Hamilton, O.,
"a few nights ago about 10 o'clock.
Several trains pulled in at that hour,
and two men rushed up to the lunch
counter. The men We're brothers, but
they did not know it at the time. They
had not seen each other for 90 years.
They were James and Charles Monroe,
aged about 40 and AZ respectively, who a
score of years ago lived near Springfield,
Ills. They separated when young men.
one finally settling at Grand Rapids,
where he accumulated considerable
wealth The other went west and set
tied at Denver. AS years wore on the
brothers never heard from each other,
and latterly each thought the other dead.
As they sat at the lunch counter, a
friend of James called him, shouting,
ooh, Jim Monroew Before James could
respond the gentleman sitting next to
him turned, and giving him close look
said, Are you James Monroe?" eyes,
SIR" was the reply. "Who are you?" Il
am your brother, Charles Monroe Of
Denver" replied the man.
The two men eyed each other in silence
for several seconds; then there was an
affectionate handshalle, and tears glis-
tened in the eyes Of both.
Neither of them finished his lunch, but
getting down off their stools they walked
arm In arm about the station until the
train left, and they went off together

Checking Kentucky Pride.

The Home and School puts a check on
impulsive state pride by a curt catalogue
of "things the Kentuckian can learn at
the Worlds fair Among these are;
"That Kentucky is not the only coun-
try on earth.
"That horse is not the noblest work
of God.
"That if our legislature is the worst in
the Union it has competition.
"That there is some beauty and good
deal of brains outside his own state.
"That there is much in name, and
ours might be improved.
THAT the earth will not worship him
because he is from Kentucky.
"That there are many other people as
hospitable as he, and a few more polite.
"That man is not necessarily fool
because he doesn't talk horse"

Killing in Temple.

Special to The Statesman.
TEMPLE, Tex, June AT 5 O'clock
this afternoon c. G. Mooring, pro.
prietor of the Exchange hotel, shot
and killed w. F. Gilmartin, pro.
prietor of Ottos saloon. Two shots
were fired, each taking effect, and
Gilmartin died instantly. The tragedy
occurred in Mooring's residence away
from the hotel. Rumors of tho affair
are various and conflicting. The
accepted theory is that it was on &C.
count of Mooring's daughter, a young
lady, but a good deal of that is based
on rumors. Mooring went at once
and surrendered to the officers and
was put in prison, but has made no
statement of the affair. Mooring is
past middle life and has had the Ex-
change two or three years and has led
a very quiet, sober life.

The Presidents Summer Home.

"Belvoir," the house in the suburbs OF
the national capital which President
Cleveland has leased for his summer
home, has an interesting history. Gen
eral Winfield Scott selected the place as
the site for the soldiers home, but it
was not secured, as no agreement could
be arrived at with the owner. Francis
Scott Key, author of the "Star Spangled
Banner" spent many years of his early
life at "Belvoir," and Presidents Van
Buren,, Tyler and Buchanan each spent
several see sons there. Baron Gerault,
the German minister at Washington
about the + ne Of the Mexican war, also
made "Belvoir" his summer residence

Al Odd Missouri Law.

Missouri law is sometimes comical.
read few days ago that new statute
had been passed by the Missouri legisla-
ture which makes it q penitentiary Of
tense for husband to desert his wife
until he has lived with her for at least 10
years. l do not know the phraseology
of the statute, but it is plainly and SIM
ply interpreted, it seems, by everybody
who has read it, and it means that when
you marry a woman in this state you
marry her for 10 years, and when you
have served your 10 years you can kiss
her goodby and go.
It's sort Of tontine arrangement, l
suppose The lawmakers must have
been married men with wives at homo
who wear the breeches or they wouldn't
have taken such practical view Of mat
rimony and set q timelock on the mar
riage contract. They probably argue
that the men who live 10 years with some
women are sufficiently punished for their
folly, and are entitled to skip if they
have survived the ordeal.-Interview in
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
