cupied its beautiful church at the corner
of Frederick and Washington streets, and
it's 420 sittings were not only filled morn

brick with trimmings Of Ohio white stone,
and is 60xS0 feet in dimensions. The style

side of the front and through the base of
each is an entrance into the vestibule.
The interior is strikingly handsome with its
arched roof of natural wood. The windows
are of stained glass with the usual Chris
tian historical designs, but their beauty is
unusual-they are simply artistic studies
The furnishing Of the interior is exquisite
The chancel rail which is topped with brass
is supported by brass pillars of pretty de-
signs. The pulpit, communion table and
chancel chairs are of oak. The lectern is
of brass and the baptismal font is of mar
BILE topped with brass. There are Candida
bras of brass for gas aid electric lighting.
The building is not yet wholly finished. two
of the stained windows being yet detained
by the sickness of the artist; when every
thing is completed the dedication, for
which the date is not yet fixed, will take
place.

Celebrating the Fourth.>

Englishmen as a rule arc patriotic
and have a firm belief that theirs is the
greatest nation in the world. An
American travelling with a party Of
English people planned an excursion to
q mountain from which a good view
could be obtained; a young Englishman
offered 10 act as guide. "Englishmcn
always lead" he exclaimed. looking
back at the American some distance il
the rear. II noticed you were travelling
pretty fast" answered the American,
but Englishmen always do run when
the Yankees are behind them"
In the course of his journey the same
gentleman found himself the only
American on board an English ship.
The Fourth Of July was at hand, and 1t
occurred to MIN that the day might be
observed by some suitable celebration.
The captain entered into the plan.
The ship was decorated with red,
white and blue" salutcs were fired at
daybreak an unusually good dinner was
served, and al orator appointed.
This orator was an Englishman, ba:
he did not shrink from his task.
II never expect to enjoy another
Fourth of July so much as J. did that"
said the American in telling the story;
but by the time that fellow got
through his speech I was a little puz-
zled to know what it was we were cele.
brating anyhow. I began to feel as II
history had got a little mixed. How
v twas a good speech just the
Same"

Electricity In Fishing.

The report of the Fishery Board for
Scotland dwells at length on the i'm
portance Of the telegraph service to
the fishing industry, and emphasizes
its statements by the recital Of an in
cident that occurred off the island of
Strcnsay. One Saturday morning a
large shoal OF herrings was discover
ed about three to seven miles from
shore by O few boats which happened
to be at sea. The particulars of the
position OF this shoal were wired. for
the fshermen's information to all the
stations in Orkney, and on the Mon
day following every boat employed in
the herring fishery in Orkney was on
the fishing ground indicated. The e.
suit was that the heaviest fishing ever
obtained in one day in Orkney for the
number of beats employed was land
ed on the Tuesday. The number of
boats fishing was 1O8 and their total
catch was 5,4OO Grams, valued at over
$4,000.
Such a heavy and unexpected haul
necessitated the services of additional
coopers, cutters, packers, and an
extra supply Of barrels and salt, all
of which had to be on hama without
delay, so that the herrings might be
cured while fresh, and all the arrange
ments were effectively carried out by
means of the telegraph.
The officer of Shetland district re-
ports that the Geographic extensions
recently made in that district are be.
ing largely used for fishery purposes,
and states that without the wire it
would be almost impossible to carry
on the herring fishery at those remote
stations.

A pretty little girl entered the
carryinea violin case. She was dressed
in cool summer attire, consisting of a

The strangeness of the costume was
increased by having a pair OF blue

front and back. 1t was a question
whether the suspenders sustained the
corsets or vice versa.-New York
