A Big Church 70 BE Moved Bodily.

III the building mover who signs the
contract to move Emmanuel Baptist
Church, Michigan avenue, near
Twenty-third street, successfully per.
forms the work, says the Chicago
Tribune, he will have doue one of the
most remarkable feats of building
moving ever known. The contract
calls for the moving of the church in
Its entirety fifty feet south and nine
feet east, and it is an undertaking
well covered with risks.
Emmanuel Church is built of stone.
has self-supporting roof, and to the
eye of builder has the appearance OF
big nutshell. There is "a sixty-foot
steeple on the top of this church.
With all the risky features in conuec-
ton with the project there are two
contractors willing to do the Job, and
their bids on the work are now under
consideration.
When the idea of moving the mas
sive hollow structure with its tower
lug spire was first preached it was
laughed at by many, but the people
who wanted the church moved knew
what they were talking about. These
were the proprietors of hotel, whose
interest it was to bavo the edifcc
n little further south, because it dark
ened all of the best rooms in the
hostelry-those of the south exposure.
The hotel company buys the fifty
feet of property south of the church
property from b. L. Jacobs for $50
600, and deeds it to the Emmanuel
Church. 1t pays the expense of NOV
ing the church, its recon-truction and
redecorating. 1t is estimated that
this part of the job will cost 500, 900.
The trustees of the church, in eX.
change for the property bought from
jacobs, relinquish to the hotel com
pany the open fifty feet created by tho
removal of the church. The removal
does not cost the church n cent.

Cooking in Electric Ovens.

English electricians deserve much

In His Second Centnrr

Hale and hearty, despite his great
weight of years, Jacob Urban, one of
the inmates of the Lutheran Home
for the Aged, Mt Mount Airy, yester
day celebrated his 102d birthday. In
honor OF so rare an occasion the en-
tire population of the home united in
celebration of the event, which also
attracted to Mount Airy m my friends
OF the vigorous centenarian.
After eating n hearty dinner, Mr..
Urban, who still possesses an excellent
appetite, walked unassisted up n flight
OF stairs to his bed room, where he sat
for the balance of the day chatting
pleasantly and cracking Jokes with his
many visitors. He is n regular attend
ant at church service and is a devoted
reader of his ldfashioned German
Bible He has been chewer and smoker
of tobacco since his boyhood DAYS.
His general appearance indicates that
| III his youth he was person of great
physical powers. He has n kindly
face and bright brown eyes, aud is
able to read large print without tho
aid of glasses. He said yesterday that
he had no great desire to live much
lon:er. With the exception of
sh2,;ness OF breath, his health is quite
robust.
The venerable centenarian was born
in Eckertswecker, Germany, on Au-
gust 3, 1894, and is the son of Jacob
Urban, who died ut the age of seventy
four. His mother vas vigorous
woman up to n short time previous to
her death. Urban learned the same
trade as his father, that of carpenter,
In the town where he was born, and
continued it until he emigrated to this
country in 1S4S. When fourteen years
of age he was confirmed, and when
thirty-three years of age he married
Barbara Gerhart, by whom he had two
children, both boys. When they grew
TO manhood they induced their par
ents to emigrate to this country.
Some years after their arrival the sons
died and their mothers death followed
shortly afterwards.
Mr.. Urban married second time in
1853, his wife being Caroline Welcher
line. In September, 1891, Mrs. Urban
was killed in railroad accident Mt
Harrowgate, on the Pennsylvania
Railroad. While working on a build
ing in New York in 1857 Mr.. Urban
missed his footing and fell long dis
lance to the ground, receiving inter
nal injuries, which have more or less
given him trouble ever since. From
present appearances, however, he may
celebrate several more birthdays be-
fore he is called to his last resting
place. Philadelphia Record.

How Oils Tic Earth

Men of science have given many
widely different answers to this ques.
ton. More than thirty years ago
Lord Kelvin, then known rs Professor
William Tomson, set down the are OF
the earth at one hundred million
years. BY the earth's age he meant
the time that has elapsed since the
consolidation of the globe.
The estimate was based upon Ger.
tain experiments showing the rate Mt
which the rocks probably cooled down
from molten condition. Recently
moro numerous and accurate expert
ments bearing on this question have
been made, and in view OF these Lord
Kelvin has revised his original figures.
aud has very greatly reduced his esti
mate OF the age OF the earth. IIo now
puts it nc only tweuty-four million
years. This, however, scoms Co be n
very respectable old age, even for n

A NEW PARTY.

:
"Coin" Harvey has started newt po1iti-
cal party known as the Patriots Of Amer
lea, which has for Its object the CO use OF
free silver as we'll as the elimination of sell
f1shness from politics. It is expec ted to
make rapid strides and ere long coz lplete-
~ eclipse all other political organiza Itions.
One Of the features OF the constitution is
that no national officer can accept an lelec-
tive nor appo:ntive office nor will fe be
permitted to acquire private property in
excess Of 100000. '.ss. ...a
The aims of the party are praisewol,thy
but there are two elements in the constAtu-
tion which will require a great deal of
looking AFTER These are the ideas In re-
lation to selfshness and the other in re ia
ton to the acquisition of property. IF the
idea of doing away with self1shness is to
be carried out the members Of the party
will have to be drawn from the celesti al
spheres and that certainly would be an
Improvement upon the present makeup Of
political organizations With regard to-
the acquisition of more than 100000
well, the party will have to run along a
little while till the officers get a chance.
For the first year it is not expected there

Asia a tremendous advantage In compel

that Japan especially was proi1ting: by this
difference OF fifty per cent between the

many lines Of goods.
The Japanese, like the Chinese , have the

are skilled in any department oflabor and
after they have learned from. them the
methods of manufacturing the foreigners
are dismissed and the Japanese take up the
work themselves. With their cheap ma

which they derive from the con pition Of

could certainly underseM this country in
