remark, further, that we have tried
here to build church distinctively un-
conventional. Instead Of asking, as some
people are disposed to do, how other peo-
pie do it, we have asked the question
how people do not doit. Imperious Gus
tom has decided that churches shall be
angular, cherries, gloomy. unsympa-
thetic, forgetting that what men call
pious gloom is impious, and that that
church has tho best architecture where
the people are the most comfortable, and
that that is the most efficient Christian
service where the people are made most
sick Of sin and most anxious after Christ
and heaven. And so we called the archi-
tects together for our first church build
ing and said, "Give rs an ampMbhea-
ter"-that is, large family circle, gath
cred around fireplace.
For many years we had felt that an
amphitheater was the only proper shape
for an audience room. The prominent
architects Of the country said: ut can
not be done. You need a churchly build
ing" And so we had plan after plan of
churchly buildings presented, but in due
time God sent n man who grasped our
idea and executed it. So far from being
a failure, it satisfied our want, and all
our three churches were built on the
amphitheatrical plan, and scores OF
churches all over the country have
adopted the same plan.
And, my brethren and sisters, we fail
in orr work Just in proportion as we try
TO be like other churches. We believe
that God intended every church, like ev-
cry man, to be individual, gathering up
ali its peculiarities and idiosyncrasies
and hurting them all toward some good
and grand object. In other words, no
two churches ought ever to be just alike.
Here is a church, for instance, whose OBJ
ject it is to prepare philosophers and art
lists and critics for heaven. God speed
them in the difficult work! Here is a
church. on the other hand, that proposes
to bring only the poor INTO the kingdom
Of Jesus Christ, looking not after the
rich. God speed such q church IN Its

Judgment was received by the deyasta- ting rodents. Tn 1860 a pest of small flies which was prosecuted at Mayenee escaped the dire effects of anathema by the skill ful handling of their ease by counsel, who defended them on the plea of their extreme youth and small size! This struck the learned and pious court as irrefutable argument and he ordered that, if the files were driven away. those driving them must provide them spot to which they could retire and live comfortably.
 Tt was not until lbs7 that sense Of the utter ridicul ousness and folly of all this kind of procedure broke upon the authorities, and the awakening came during the trial Of a case against certain Insects that had attacked the vines In Savoy. The counsel defend- Ing the insects was so acute and full or resources that the prosecutor be- came exhausted In trying to meet and refute his arguments. and made the official tender of the right to the ac- cused insects of retiring to 0 certain ''Neh's' SpuHbel TUT tIlt ucIcUCt bhhtu and received n delay in the proceeding to consider this offer. Two days later they came into court and declined the offer in the name of their clients, be- cause the land was sterile in the lo- cality proposed, md produced abso- lutcly nothing upon which their clients could subsist.' On this the prosecu- tor joined issue, and a jury of experts was summoned to decide it..

The Market tor Securities Was DuIl-Strlke
 News Fell Flat.
 New York, July 5.-The markets for securities were dull again to-day. American Sugar figured for 4s,80o shares. The undertone Of; speeula tfon was firm throughout, the heaviness of Sugar having had no influence. Lon don started the upward movement in the general railway list by taking moderate amounts of its specialties. Local bulls were encouraged by, the po- .sition assumed by the foreigners. espe- cially as the June statements of the Louisville and Nashville, Missouri Pa cific, St. Paul, Canadian Pacific and Rock Island were anything but favora- ble. For period named the loss in gross earnings by the Louisville was $1S2,4O0 and that of the St. Paul over $121, 1000. ;..
 Strike news fell fiat. Neither home nor foreign operators paid any attention to the developments at the west, that is so far as the market is concerned, the general belief still being that the American Railway unions movement against the railroads will end in fail ure. The reporting of the tariff bill to the house is looked upon as bull ar gument by most operators, as 1t means an early settlement of this vexed ques- tion. It certainly offset the labor trou- bles to-day, as the course of prices clearly proves. The advance ranged from A to per cent. outside of Balti- more and Ohio, which road rose 11s to 721s, St, Paul, Louisville and Nasf- vile. Burlington and Quincy. Big Four and Richmond Terminal were most prominent. The last named was more active at a higher range on account of the progress making in the reorgani- zation of the system. The Northern Pacifics were steadier. The Adams committee is out with a. call. for de- posits of all bonds below the first mort gages. !
 American Sugar was the weak spot all day long and gradually dropped from 1OOh to 97A, closing. at the lowest point. Houses with Washington scon- nections were used to sell the stock. There were runaors that the differentlal duty on refined sugar would be taken out of the bill by the house. The amendment making it illegal for a com
 bination or trust to engage in the inn portation of merchandise or, products also induced selling. Cordage was pressed for sale and fell to 2tA, Lead

The great prize i'll the Spanish Ma
tional lottery was won by butcher mt
SaraGossa, who seems to have borne his
stroke of fortune in very proper spirit.
His total gain would have amounted to
about $3.50 600 had he taken tho whole
risk himself, but he had split up his
ticket among couple of hundred part
ners III varying proportions, so that his
own share is not so considerable. How
ever he generously gave $500 to tho
Official who paid tho money, and 5000
to blind man who shouted out the
lucky number at the door of the office,
his next care being to distribute meat
gratis to everybody living in his quar-
ter of tho town. Not few stories are
told in tho Spanish papers as to the eff
feet on different individuals of this sud
den bit of luck. One of the beneficiarics
was nurse in the family of poverty
stricken infantry captain who rarely
paid her wages. On the receipt of the
$4,000 that fell to her share she at
once handed the amount over to her
master, exclaiming. You shall not
know want after today. We can all of
us live on the money. Paris Herald.

FUNK'SFIST IN MEREDITH'S FACE
Continued from pag,

knowledge and observation he knew IL
to be true that hundreds and thousands
OF fraudulent pensioners were on the
roll.
Hopkins (Rep., ny asked if it was
not the action of the gentleman's State
and Others south Of him that caused the
existence Of that pension roll.
Meredith-No. sir; it was due to the
gentlemen who forced that issue upon
us when we wanted peace. We have
no complaint against the men who are
entitled to place on the pension list.
1t is against those who began fighting
Immediately after the war and kept 1t
up that we complain.
Numerous interruptions were made in
the course of Meredith's speech. Funk
(Rep., ILL., suggested that II the gentle
man from Virginia believed what he
said to be true and did not denounce
the pensioners to the proper authorities
he was not a good citizen.
The tenor of this remark was evil
IDENTIFY misunderstood by Meredith to
be reflection upon his veracity, for,
with arm uplifted and menacing tone, he
left the place whore he had been
speaking and approached the desk Of
the gentleman from Illinois in the
cen Ter almost Of the Republican seats.
he shouted, "that / am not telling the
truth" =
The Republican members crowded
around the two princip pal parties in the
scene and Payne (Rep, N. W stood
between them.
Funk responded as nearly as could
be made out in the bubbles and con-
fusion, ~ did not say the gentleman
was telling an untruth, but that if it
were true he was not good citizen If
he did not present the case to the
authorities. And, shaking his fist in
Merediths face" who still had his arm
uplitted, 81 stand by that here and
elsewhere"
The uproar was now at its height and
the shouting OF the gentlemen could be
Speaker Crisp seized the gavel and
store order. Colonel Snow ran into the
midst OF the crowd, commanding mem
berS to take their seats.
Meredith withdrew to his own side,
and stock demanding recog milton Of the
chair, until ordered by the Speaker to
take his seat. When order was restored
he was permitted to proceed. He de-
sired to say, in response to the gentle
man from Illinois, that he was not re-
quired to act as spy or informer, and
That he would refuse to act in that capa-
city.
On motion of O'Neill. tho com mittee
rose at tho conclusion OF Merediths re.
marks, and at 4:35 o'clock the House
took recess until o'clock. the night
session to be for the consideration OF
private pension bills only.
The attendance upon the session OF
the House to night, at which private
pension bills were under consideration,
was larger than upon either OF the two
previous night sessions this term, but
only about half of the number of mem
bers necessary to make quorum was
present. In committee of the whole
fourteen bills were acted upon and laid
aside with favorable reports, and at 10: 81
o'clock the House adjourned.

IF THE city is to support baseball
team tho coming season it is time now
for the enthusiasts to express them
selves in some substantial way which
shall settle the matter at once. Base
ball still holds supremacy as the ma
tionsl game and Roanoke cannot better
display it's enterprise and energy in
athletic circles than by placing good
team in the field 1t is not necessary
to have a nine composed Of big salaried
players drawn here from all parts of
the country. We doubt il it would be
profitable or expedient to have one SO
formed. But with good local material
at our disposal with the possible addi-
ton Of two or three competent players
from outside there is no reason why we
cannot go into the field with team
which shall be popular at home and
a clever rival abroad.

SENATOR DoLPH,s INsINUAr1oNs.

Senator Dolph, (Rep.. Oregon) in a
speech in the Senate on Thursday, went
out OF the way to cast reflections upon
the integrity of several South mem
bers OF the finance committee, under
whose consideration the Wilson bill
now is, and for which the Senator
should be taken to task for the con-
temptous and unexcusable way in which
he then waved the bloody flag"
AS reported in yesterdays TINES
Senator Dolph is quoted az saying:
To-day the destinies of the industries
three Senators who were conspicuous
in the Southern Confederacy. The ma
jority Of the finance committee is com
posed mainly OF Senators who were
conspicuous in the great effort to de-
stroy the Union, and another Nom ber
of the majority was conspicuous during
the rebellion for his supposed sympa
thy with the leaders OF the rebellion. 4"
The Senator has raised an issue
which expired with the closing days OF
oHC SOuloueTdCy. MONO are In DetCer
position than Mr.. Dolph to know that
now no stronger or more earnest sup.
porters Of the Union are to be found
than among these representatives OF
the Southern States.
Whatever may have been their senti-
ments thirty or thirty five years ago,
their honesty OF purpose and loyalty
now cannot be questioned. Their sup
port of the Union and their interest in
It's prospects for the future are not ex-
ceeded in intensity by those who stood
by this country and fought for it's
interests during the dark days of the
rebellion. True, these men may wish
to share ia behalf OF their constituents
in the ben is to be derived from tariff
legislation. They may not be as
anxious to continue the favoriteism that
has been shown to the North ern in
dustries all these years; but their OPP
position in this gives no excuse for the
base insinuations which Mr.. Dolph has
made.
