A Scene In a Town Meeting.

To city man town meetings are a
novelty. I attended one some years ago
over which an ex-governor presided. The
various reports had been acted upon, and
finally was read by the moderator Gan
article on the amount Of money the town
should appropriate for the support of the
schools this year.
The question had hardly been put
when a citizen with pronounced Ger
man accent jumped up, and with 20
guish twinkle in his eye said: "Mr. Mod
orator, want to ask the taxpayers to
think little while before we appropri-
ate so much money as we did last year.
What is de use of supporting a high
school in this town if the childrens spend
their time learning how many legs a
straddlebug has got, when they can't
answer some of the simplest questions.
I want my boys and girls to learn some
thing practical. The other day I wanted
to write letter to order some borax
that I use in my business, and 1 said to
my daughter, Gretchen, how do you
spell boraxp and what do you suppose
she said2 She said she didn't know.

more common sense lessons and not so
much straddlebugs business. Boston

The Origin of Goat.

The origin of the Spencer" coat is
curious. Mr.. Spencer, an Englishman
particular in his dress, once remarked
in company that no fashion was so II
diculous but would be adopted if worn
by a person of sufficient Importance.
This was dissented from, whereupon Mr..
Spencer offered to bet that if he cut
off the skirts of his coat and walked out
with merely the body and sleeves he
would be initiated. The bet was ac-
copied, the coat prepared and took the
fancy of well known tailor. The "Spen-
GER" soon after came into general use.

REV. DIR. SUNDERLAND. ington, and not
many were the Sunday mornings on
which he did not occupy it. After his
marriage his wife was admitted to mem
bership on letter from the church with
which she had previously worshiped, and
they generally attended the services to-
gether. Upon his second inauguration
the president and Mrs. Cleveland chose
the same church and the same pew oc-
cupied by them during the first admin
istration. i+
The old First is historic and was one
of the very first churches organized in
the Capital City. 1t was established
nearly a hundred years ago and for a
long period was one of the most fash
ionable churches in the city, its site on
Four and Half street being in the
heart of what was considered the best
residence district. The conditions have
changed now, and the tide of fashion has
swept away to the northwestward, while
the vicinage of the church has become
very thickly populated with people who
are not leaders in society. 1t still
retains many Of the leading residents Of
Washington among it membership, how
ever. and is alert, active and aggressive
in its religious work.
The pastor of the church, the Rev.
DR.. Sunderland, who has occupied the
pulpit for 40 years, is more than 70
years of age, but still retains much of
the vigor and enthusiasm of his younger
days. His discourses are eloquent and
forceful as of old, when they gained him
reputation as pulpit orator that
reached far beyond the confines of his
congregation. The burden of his years,
however, has made it impossible for him
70 perform much of the work which
such pastorate demands, and year or
so ago the congregation decided to en-
gage an assistant to relieve him. Rev.

Put in the fewest possible words, the
various orders and rulings of United

Straining order Of United States Circuit
Judge Taft in the Ann Arbor railway
cases at Toledo mean just this: Railroad
and telegraph employees and some 9th
ers form class which is marked ex-
ception to the general rule as to laborers'
rights. Those corporations are the pub
lies agents; they are under obligations
to government, and the men in their en-
ploy are quasi public agents. They can
not drop work at will or without giving
due notice, as by SO doing they may
work great injury to the public.
Similarly condensed, the reply of the
men is: If the railroads can, as they do.

is now an important railway center, with
an opera house capable of seating 1900
delegates and hotel accommodations for
them.
Its first session was at Galveston some
three years ago, itssecond some six months
later at Denver, it's third at Omaha, and
it's fourth last February at New Orleans.
All the railroads are making special rates
to the congress, and as it will close about
the time the Worlds fair opens those
from the Pacific and other far western
states will be asked to arrange their
tickets to the fair 80 that visitors may.
take in the congress. All the states and
territories west Of the Mississippi will be
represented, and the principal subjects
discussed will be irrigation and the rec
lamation of arid lands, silver, public
lands, the Pacific and gulf coast har-
bors and all other matters of special in
terest to the west.
It is easy to see in all the notices and
appeals Of the far western papers in re-
lation to this congress that the idea is
prevalent that the west has been neg
lected and that the time has come to
convince the Atlantic states that the
seat of empire has shifted. California,
Oregon and Washington want improved
rivers and harbors and vastly increased
coast defenses, Texas wants deep water
at Galveston and elsewhere, the noun
tain commemorative want comprehen-
sive system of irrigation, and all want
silver restored to it's old place in the
coinage.
They have undertaken big contract,
and have therefore broadened the basis
of representation to secure big con-
gress. Each state or territory is entitled
to 10 delegates, each county to one, each
city to one for each 5000 people or frac-
tional part thereof, all commercial bod
les in all towns to as many each as the
town in which each is situated, and in
addition all governors, mayors, county
judges and presidents of boards of coun-
ty supervisors are ex-officio members
Governor Bradford Prince of New
Mexico is president Of the congress,
elected at its last session at New Orleans,
and will hold over till his successor is
elected at Ogden o. W Crawford of

The congress has 10 vice presidents, all
