could be found in any white household.
But because the bishop stayed there over
night many of the whites of his own de-

touch his hand again.
The manner of the withdrawal of Rev.
DR.. EcOb from the Presbyterian church
is quite in keeping with the dramatic
spirit of Prof. Briggs and his most ar
dent friends. Once outside the Presby-
terrain church, their opportunities for
the most effective posing before that
public which is ever fond of excitement,
will disappear. DR.. Ecob has chosen
noble, though visionary place, as the
the leader in movement to induce the
"Congregationalists, the Cumberland
Presbyterians, the Free viii Baptists
and the broad wing OF the Episcopal
church to unite with us to form the
great Free Church of Ameua." Surely
this would be the happy family.
According to the Chicago Evening
Journal which booms the project, there
is little difficulty experienced in enlist
ing the support of capital for the electric
railroad between that city and st. Louis.
Long-distance trolleying is still an I'M
certainty. 1t is likely enough that
trains will go 100 miles an hour as
scheduled, on the projected road, in good
weather, but snow and sleet blockades,
interrupted currents and burned out
fuses may reduce the commercial value
of the enterprise. However, ultimate
success in getting the road built is said
to be assured, and perhaps the mechan-
ical difficulties may be conquered also.

The spectacular melo-drama,
..Uncle's Darling" was presented at
Harper's theatre last evening by
Hattie Bernard Chase and company.
The production is strong in scenic
effects and dramatic situations and
was on the whole well enjoyed.
Without doubt one of the greatest
attractions ever presented to a tri-
city audience will be the consolidated
Howard .Etheneum companies at the
Burtis opera house this evening.
Every body remembers the Howard
Etheneum and the Trans-Oceanic
companies. both having been greeted
with crowded houses. and when it is
remem bered that both of these shows
are combined in one for their great
Pacific tour. it is safe to predict that
every seat in the house will be oc-
cupied.
