An Industrious young man who looks

banking house is an adept and enthusi-
astic manipulation Of a typewriting ma
chine. His sister, a self reliant girl Of
more than ordinary cleverness, is en-
ployed ss stenographer and typewriter
in a large manufacturing establishment
in Buffalo. The young man mailed a
bulky letter 10 his sister, with whom he
is fond Of joking, and as a smart re-
,minder of april Fool day he inclosed two
large sheets Of foalscap paper. On one
sheet he wrote, '.Ha! ha! Hell he! April

words, "Now you eve me a good long
letter-a long one, mind you" A few
days ago this funny young man received
an express package on which 40 cents
charges were due. It looked like small
can of tea, bat when opened proved to
be a roll Of ribbon paper about 10 yards
long, on which, in closely written char
acters, was a long and friendly message

ing in the southwest is not what it once
was. The destruction Of our forests is
telling here as elsewhere. The two kinds
of game found in the middle Mississippi
valley arc the western fox squirrel and
the gray, but the latter, for the reasons
mentioned, is rapidly receding. He is a
lover of tall timber-a dwegler in high
holes. Here his young are reared. The
gray is universally distributed east of
the plains and in many regions has a
tendency to black specimens much
stronger than in others.
The hunter is apt to regard the black
as distinct species, but the naturalist
asserts that they are simply pelage vari-
cites, which may occur in the same litter
with their gray brothers, and that black
parents may likewise produce gray prog

whelming abundance. The walls are
built of hard, reddish brown sandstone,
and the architecture is of the Roman
esque order. The main frontage is 435
feet and the depth 300 feet. The central
pavilion is 100 by 1875 feet and rises to a
height Of nearly 200 feet. Its facade has
beautiful sculptured frieze of stone,
with heroic figures of Music, Agricul-
ture, Commerce, Art, Science, Law,
Philosophy, Architecture, Engineering

The ground plan of the building forms

legislative chamber is in the central pa

signed so as to separate the rooms in the
west wing devoted to legislative pur-
poses from the departmental apartments
in the east wing.
This south facade faces the city, and
there is a splendid outlook from the
porches across the Queens park and
down University avenue. Queens park
comprises about 30 acres and is pictur-
esquely laid out in lawns and roadways.

To Judge From Its Size the Great Man Was
Eighty Feet Tall.
Since Samarcsnd has been portion of
the Russian deminions it has become
easy to visit. The traveller from Europe
can reach the old capital Of Tamer1ane
by the Transcaspian railway, which the
Russian government has constructed
across the Toorkoman deserts with SO
much boldness and which was finished
as far as Samarcand six years ago. Less
than three miles to the northeast Of se-
marcand and outside of the extreme
limits of the ancient city is o tomb which
is called Khodja- Daniar. This tomb, ac-
cording to the Mussulnian legends, is the
burial place Of the Prophet Daniel. The
spot where this tomb stands is called
Afrousiab, and there are seen ruins
which are very probably those of the an
Gent city Of Maracanda, destroyed by
Alexander the Great.
This was an immense town, whose
walls, we are told, had a compass Of 90
stadia, or about 10 miles. 1t is separated
from Samarcand by naked hill, the soil
of which is one vast cemetery. The sep
ulcher of Khodja- Daniar is built on q
sort Of terrace or cornice. A half dozen
great masts, from the tops Of which hang
some sacred rags or tougs made Of horse
tails, the height of which is proportion
ed to the Importance Of the saint, rise
above the sarcophagus, which stands in
the open air, sheltered by no building of
any kind. This sarcophagus is con-
structed with heavy masonry. The saint
who reposes there is beyond doubt real

more than curious since, though dead.

my visit in 1891 about 90 feet. His height
must be a little more now. It should DO

NEW YORK AVENUE CHURCH.

Not more than three assemblies at any
rate have been more important, and pos
sibly but two-the one which organized
the church Immediately after the United
States became nation and that of 1870,
which completed the reunion of old
school and new school, which had been
separated about So years. At the COM
ing assembly an earnest attempt will be
made to give final settlement to certain
questions which have troubled the church
for several years, chief among them the
revision of the confession of faith and
the famous-one might almost say noto-
rious-Briggs case. IS
The New York Avenue Presbyterian
church is one of the historic places of
Washington. The name was taken in
1863, when the old F Street and Second
Presbyterian churches were united I'M
der the pastorate of Rev DR.. Phineas D.
Gurley, who took the lead in building
the present edifice. In 1852 the old con-
gregation welcomed the general assem-
bly, of that year. In the original con-
gregation, Presidents Andrew jackson,
John Quincy Adams and Franklin Pierce
were frequently present in their terms,
and the attendance Of the last named at
the prayer meetings was a subject of
frequent remark. James Buchanan oc-
cupied a pew there regularly, and Abra-
ham Lincoln made it his religious home
SO far as he had any. Today it has a
very large proportion Of eminent off
cia1s amono ito attan1opfc
Nevertheless when DR.. Bartlett was
called to the pastorate in 1882, the mem
bership was but few over 500. It rapid
ly increased to 1900, and the original
church has founded two others, the
Church of the Covenant and the Gurley
Memorial, and sustains two fourishing
missions. William Alvin Bartlett was
born Dec. 4, 1882, in Binghamton, N.
Y, and was graduated from Hamilton
college In 1859, since which time his ca
reer has been one of extraordinary ac-
tivity. Among of his classmates and inti-
mates at college were the present Justice
Merwin of the supreme bench of New
York, Rev Mr.. Cleveland, the presi-
dents brother, Charles Dudley Warner
and Professor Fisk of Cornell, and
though Bartlett was the youngest (but
10 when he graduateO all the others
conceded him the honors of the class,
and he has since worn the Phi Beta Kap-
pa badge on his watch chain.
While still minor he was made act
ing professor of Greek, Latin and elocu-
ton at the Institution near Staunton,
Va. A year later he entered Union
Theological seminary, New York, and
after graduating there with high honors
took course in Halle and Berlin, de-
voting special attention to what is now

inventions and other business schemes.
He was also prominent as an advocate Of
commercial union with Canada and lost
no opportunity to give that cause a lift
in tho public estimation.
Mr.. Winan might be called an acct
dentsl Canadian. Ee was born near To-
ronto about 20 years ago, but both his
parents were citizens Of tie United
States. His father was mechanic and
not able to give him many educational
advantages. Young Erastus was anews-
boy and afterward became printer,
reporter and editor. being commercial
editor of the Toronto Globe in 1856,
when r. G. Dun & Co. engaged him as
their Toronto representative. Soon he
was given charge of all their Canadian
business, and in 1866 he was made a
member Of the firm and called to New
York, where he has ever since lived.
Mr.. Wiman married an American wo-
man, and his large real estate holdings
were bought in her name. He never
forswore his allegiance to Queen Vic
toria, though his refusal to do so created
some prejudice against him. There was
a rumor some years ago that he was to
be knighted by the queen, but it was
only rumor. He was one of the found
ers of the Canadian club of New York
and was its president for some time and
an exceedingly liberal contributor to its
finances, but when the English element
of the club changed its name to the st.
James he retired.

Bible is not infallible, but contains many
errors; that reason is the court Of last
resort in Biblical as in other questions;
that those who reject the Bible may still
have chance, and many other SO called
liberal ideas. After due formalities the
case went before the general assembly at
Portland and was referred back to the
New York presbytery. That body, 90
ministers and 80 elders voting, acquitted
DR.. Briggs on every one of the six charges
by majorities ranging from to 81.
1t appears, therefore, that man may

and the way of salvation through the media
ton and sacrifice of the Son of God. Vote, 68
to 60.
Second-That the church is fountain of di-
vine authority, which, apart from the holy
Scripture, may and does savingly enlighten
men. Vote, II to IS.
Third-That errors existed in the original text
of the holy Scripture as it came from its au-

Fourth-!That Moses is not the author of the
Pentateuch. Vote, 70 to So.
Fifth-That Isaiah is not the author of half
the book that bears his name. Vote, 70 to 49,
Sixth--That sanctifcation is not complete g:
death. Vote, 60 to 81.
Bear in mind that the presbytery did
not by it's vote and the general assembly
if it acquits will not declare these things
true. They will simply declare that one
may hold and teach them and still be
fellowshiped as a Presbyterian. Nor
will conviction carry any reflection upon
the convicted as man. 1t will simply
mean that so long as he so teaches his
home is somewhere else than in the
Presbyterian church. He also set forth
with great detail that he believed the
Bible to contain the word of God and
considerably more, and that Christ is not
the Son of God In the usually accepted
sense, but in--we1l, in sense that the
ordinary lay1nan has never been able to
understand. And yet, despite these
views, certainly as broad as any held by
DR.. Charming or James Freeman Clarke.

drill was accordingly instituted and
kept up during the winter. It was so
successful that the idea spread to other
Glasgow Sunday schools and then to
England, Ireland, Canada, the United
States and elsewhere.
The first American company was or
ganized in San Francisco in 1889, and
the national headquarters are in that
city. Then. companies were formed in
the central and eastern states, and these
sections now have their own divisions,
each with its executive officers. There
are already more than 200 companies, and
new ones are being enrolled every day.
The brigade is wholly undenomina-
tional, and organization is simple. Each
company is connected with a church, and
all members must belong to Sunday
school. The captain and lieutenants are
appointed by the school authorities, and
the boys elect sergeants and corporals.
The regulation uniform is a blue blouse,
blue trousers and blue cap, but some Of
the companies have adopted the West
Point cadet gray.
Many of the companies use dummy
rifles at the start, but the boys prefer
the real thing, and regular army guns
are being rapidly adopted. There is a
weekly military drill, and some Of the
companies go off into the country in the
the summer time on a regular encamp-
ment like the national guard. In towns
having more than one company COMPETE
tive drills are sometimes held, and there
is quite a rivalry between the young
soldiers to uphold the efficiency of their
