PULLM ANS GIFT.
Laying OF the Corner Stone Of His
Church at Albion, N. Y,

Church at Albion, N. Y.
ALBION. N. Y. May 1?.-The corner
stone of the Pullman Memorial church
was laid today with imposing cere-
monies blythe officers Of the Masonic
grand lodge by Grand Master Frederick
K. Burnham. of New York. The prln-
cipal address was given by Rev. DIR. R.
D. Pullman, of Baltimore. who was
followed by Rev. D.rSaxe.o of Rochester.
The church is the gift of George NJ.
Pullman, of Chicago, to the Universal
ist Society of Albion, and Is erected in
memory of his father and mother, who
are both buried here. Its estimated
cost is $4,000. and the only require
ment made of the local society was that
it should raise $1,000, which is now in
vested, aud the income Oh which is
forever pledged for The maintenance
and repair of the building. Mr.. Pullman
was for years resident of Albion,
where he followed the occupation OF
raising and moving buildings, and his
first decided start In the world was
secured when he went to Chicago in
company with the late G. II. Moore, of
Albion, aud successfully raised many
of the great business blocks of the city
to the new level of the streets. The
new memorial church is being coll
structed of rock-faced Albion sand
stone. 1t will be of English Gothic
style of architecture, Surmounted by
great dome. In the west end will be
placed memorial window to cost
$1,000. The main audience room is in
the form of a Greek cross.

that all the desirable cottages were al.

In contrast to the staid people met at

NEW YORK. May 19.-The village of
Flatlands, l.. l.. is excited over the dis
covery that Bessie and Ruby, the hand
some twin daughters of Farmer Dauds-
worth, have eloped with the wrong
men. Popular excitement rose even to
a higher pitch when the villagers
learned that Ruby had run off with
Bessie's intended husband on the very
eve of the day set for the wedding, and
that Bessie, in a moment Of pique, had
eloped with a former fame. few days
alter her sisters disappearance. The
sisters are just twenty years old. their
joint birthday having been celebrated
three weeks ago with one of the most
brilliant evening parties Flatlands has
ever enjoyed. Four years ago johnson
West loved Bessie Daudsworth, and
after courtship of over twelve months
Bessie finally accepted him. All of
BesSie's other lovers accepted the situa-
ton rs gracefully as possible except
Harry Cartwright. young law
clerk. Gossip said he had trans
ferred his affections to Ruby.
His attentions were never pronounced,
however. Bessie'S marriage to West
was postponed from time to time on
various grounds. The last postpone
ment was made at Vests request. He
announced that u wealthy aunt was
dying in Dakota. He went to Dakota.
His aunt's last moments" extended
over six months. IL has since been
learned that Mr.. West went to Dakota
in order TO obtain divorce from a
variety actress whom he welded SIX
years before in a moment of youthful
folly. West fastened back to Brooklyn
two months ago, and it was arranged
that he and Bessie should be welded
last Sunday. Ruby Uaudsworth and
johnson West disappeared between
noon and midnight week ago today.
Nothing was heard of them until yester-
day, when Mr.. DaudswUrth received
"Johuson and are married and stop
ping here. Both send love to ali. Please
forgive u.s."
Bessie, in the meantime, who had
taken her disappointment to heart. told
her father Monday that she and Harry
Cartwright were going to be married.
Wednesday evening Farmer Dauds-
worth saw the last of his remaining
daughter and her "old friend"
Ihurelay morning he found the front
door mad been locked from the outside
and the key dropped through the win
dow. Three hours later dispatch was
received reading:
Harry and are in the Adams house.
Were married yesterday. Are well and
happy. Love-Both ask forgiveness.

The rest of this abullition of hilarity
emana ting from Il gentleman who was
one Of Il party of five enjoying the
glorious excitement of iceboating on
Lake Pewaulee, was lost in the roar

keeping his teeth from being blown
down his throat. With three men on
the runner Oh the windward side, to
hold her down, the boat lay over so
that the windward runner was five
feet in the air, with the three men
clinging to the wire stay like mon
keys to a banyan tree. The hardy
skipper was holding the tillcr with
both hands and the weight Of his body
thrown as much as possible to the
windward side.
The boat was at its highest speed
when within fifty yards of the shore,
and the thought that flashed like light
ming through the minds of those abnlrd
was will he be able to bring her to-"
Every thing depended upon him, and

Gold Mining in Colorado.

'The gold mines of Colorado arc not
merely going to boOm-they are al
ready booming" said John f. Leet to
reporter on his return from the great
Cripple Creek banquet Going ten
miles over the hills from Midland the
loaded stages have to turn out every
few yards to let fOur-horse wagons
loaded with rich gold ore pass.
The banquet equalled the finest ever
given in Denver and cost our hosts $40
plate. Around the board were mill
ionaires, bankers and leading profess
SiOnal. scientific and military men. A
distinguished mining expert from Eng
land told me it was as well-behavcd
and intelligent company of gentle
men as he hid ever met.
"The speeches were eloquent, witty
and effective. That of Dr. Dougan,
the Leadville banker, brought out the
most valuable bit of information. 1t
is that Leadville has begun within the
past month or two to rival even Grip
pie Creek itself in its rapidly increas-
ing gold output. Before the days Of
silver where Leadville stands was the
great gold placer mining camp of Cali
fornia g:ilch. from which millions, were
tdhtll. NO" tuey are SOlIlS dI(ef tuC
mountain veins, from. which this placer
gold came.
Il have one friendly criticism to
make on all the speeches, however. 1t
Is that none Of them explained effect
lively why our gold mines We're not
worked more extensively before the
silver repeal. This inquiry rises to
every Eastern mind. 1t won't do to
answer. rs some do. that it is because
silver mining heretofore paid better.
If gold mining paid sufficiently it
would have gone on largely even if
silver was more profitable. Wheat
raising goes on. although in many
places potatoes pay better The true
and only explanation is that the in
creased purchasing power of gold has
lifted thousands Of non-paying low
grade gold mines all over the State up
into profitable producers. l insist that
an ounce of silver will now buy us
much Of the average commodities as
twenty years ago. while an ounce Of
gold will buy twice as much."-Den-
ycr Times.
