Preachers and whisLer..

Whiskers was the chief subject Of dis.
eussion at rather informal meeting Of
the Ministers alliance yesterday morn
ing. When DIR. Armstrong appeared
with a freshly shaven upper lip and a
face as devoid of hirsute adornment as q
new born babes. the subject was found,
and he was promptly called upon TO ad-
dress the alliance upon the Rise and
Fall of the Mustache" DIR. Armstrong
told how he had cut off his mustache
and nearly scared his little ones to death.
Upon being questioned he admitted that
the operation was performed late Sun.

the good Of his congregation and for the
improvement Of his voice. He wanted
the word Of God 10 proceed from the
mouth clear and plain aid distinct. un-
hindered by any obstruction. He closed
his remarks by saving that he had sac
rificed his beauty for the benefit Of his
congregation. and that he was aware
that the more his face was covered the
better looking he was.
DIR. Tigert responded with fervent
That's so." and DIR. Armstrong came
back at him by saying he had already
been mistaken for DIR. Tigert.
DR.. Haley said he thought all ministers
should either be smooth shaven or wear
Q full beard. The doctor himself sup
ports q very luxuriant beard. slightly
tinged with gray, and it was thought that
his opinion might therefore he biased.
He urged all young ministers to shun

with a crop Of chin whiskers. A mus

Great Waterfall Prniect.

What is believed to be the largest ar.
tificial waterfall in the world is that pro-
jected by the Southern Pacific Railway
company near Wright's station, in the
Santa Cruz mountains "a mountain
stream being made TO run over and
above railroad track and designed tc
prevent the obstruction of travel by
landslides. as in times past, at the north
ern end of the long tunnel near the above
named station. This unique piece of en-.
gineering consists of an extension of the
tunnel northward 200 feet. passing the
point where the stream crosses the track
by an arch of solid masonry.
The plan Of this stone tunnel presents
briefly an arch 20 feet in height, COM
posed of huge blocks of stone capable Of
durably withstanding the wear and tear
of the elements. The inside exhibits the
same width and height as the tunnel
proper and is constructed in such man.

flowing over from percolating through.
The top of the arch being about - feet

the stone arch fall Of not less than 20
feet is produced on the other side of the

DIR. Carnegie, the missionary. says Lo-
bcngula wished to enjoy some fruits Of
civilization while rejecting many Others.
He tolerated the presence of few mis-
sionaries because they brought him good
things from Europe that he coveted. but
he would do absolutely nothing TO help
them. A word from him would have
filled their schools with children, but he
would not give il. The people believed
he was all powerful 1t was he who
brought the rain and abundant harvests.
Their teeming gardens and abundance
Of beer and cattle exhibited the mighty
power of the king and his mindfulness
Of their wants. An encouraging word
from him would have done wonders for
the missionaries. yet when they asked
him To send them children 10 teach he
would not lift finger To help them.
When Carnegie was about To go home.
he asked the king what he should tell
the white people about him. seeing that
he had been SO indifferent To the prog
ress Of missionary work. The king re-
piled. You will tell them what you
have seen"
1t was probably rs well for Lobcn-
gula that he died when he did. His peo-
pie forced him into the war, believing
that he was invincible. His overwhelm-
ing defeat destroyed all confidence in
him as the great wonder worker Of tie

power could always protect his people.
He could never have been king again

The Exnlnsinn Never Came.

Two young fellows had stacks of fun
ON Nicollet avenue among the Fourth
of July crowds last year and scared
some of the folks nearly out of their
wits without the least danger to any
one. They had constructed what rcsem-
bled an immense cannon firecrackcr.
but with not a pinch of powder about
it, except rs to fuse. OF fuses they had
plenty, and they dcxterously inserted
them as they meandered along the street,
supplying a new one as fast rs one
burned ont. They operated the practical
joke by one of them carrying the dan
gerous looking cracker under his arm
and the other pretending to fire it un-
known 10 him. When the wag Slipped
up and applied his punk from behind
and then lodged away, those who saw
it held their breath at the expected ex-
plosion, which did not, however. take
place. although few suspected the real
reason why. Up and down the avenue
those funmakers went, and many were

fun and many the eyes turned away from

Columbian 81 stamps Cornere,l

Stamp collectors have learned with sur.
prise that a New York firm has bought
up all the 81 stamps of the Columbian
issue and raised the price 10 S3. so apiece.
II is said the spectators learned that
only about 10000 of the 81 stamps re.
mained unsold and purchased them in
small lots from posImasters all over the
country. The full issue of Columbian
stamps at their face value is worth
$l6.24. and it is estimated that there is
demand for $4,000 full sets. No Sc,
