As will be seen elsewhere in our
columns, the Board Of Mayor and
Aldermen have taken steps to IS
sue interest bearing bonds, for the
purpose Of erecting a new and
commodious brick building for the
graded white school of our town.
That such building is absolutely
needed will not be denied by any
one who has at heart the welfare
Of our children and the upbuilding
of our town. The present build
ing is entirely too small and in
such 4 dilapidated condition that
it is hardly fit for use. The in
creased taxation that will be nee
essary to pay of the bonds win be
so small that it will hardly be felt,
and in fact, as we believe the ercc-
ton of such building will 50 in
crease the population and thereby
increase the value of our real es-
tate, that BY the time any tax
would have to be collected to pay
off the maturing bonds that the
present rate Of taxation would not
have to be increased at all. There
fore we hope our people will unan-
imously endorse the action Of the
Board, and show to the world that
we are fully abreast with the prog
reSs of education and that we want
good people who are deprived Of
school facilities to move in among
us, buy property become identi-
fed with our interests, and it wont
be many years before we will have
the best town in the State. No
school in the State has an ADLER
faculty than the kosciusko white
Graded School, and with a proper
building there is no reason why we
could not build up one Of the
largest graded schools in the
South.

New Episcopal Residence to Be
Erected.

Some time ago the Carroll club under
took to secure thirty $500 subscriptions
to the capital stock OF the organization,
and on Saturday the 3Gth was secured.
This insures the success OF the club up
on the plans outlined by its projectors.
The Paxton homestead, corner Alley
Nine and Chapiine street, was purchas-
ed several months ago and plans were
prepared Tor such alterations and i'm
provements as were necessary TO make
It a model club house. The work was
not done al that time, on account ot the
shortage of funds. Now, however, this
obstacle is happily removed, and the
contract will be let during the coming
week. The plans have been fully des-
cribed in the Register. They provide
for parlors, reception and assembly
halls, complete gymnasium, billiard
room, library, baths etc.
Ii is the intention OF the Board OF d.
rectors, ito push the work of making the
necessary changes with all possible
speed. plans have been partially made
for an opening OF the club some time
during the holidays, which will take the
form of a public reception. The loca-
ton and the building are admirably ad-
apted to the wants Of the organization,
and the cub will have a home, when
the Improvements are completed, Of
which vt may feel justly proud. 1t IS
likely that several entertainments of a
social nature will be given during the
winter.

DOES DEATH END ALP
DIR. Swope Discourses on the Certainty of
Continued Existence.

DIR. Swope Discourses on the Certainty of
Continued Existence.
The Rev. DIR. r. R. Swope discoursed
last evening at st. Matthew's P. E.
Church, from the passage of Scripture
found in the Book of Job, fourteenth
chapter, sixteenth verse, But man
dieth and wasteth away, yea, man
giveth up the ghost, and where is hep"
The question often occurs, stated Mr.
Swope, to a person as he stands beside
a dead body, Is this the end? The
death of human body is very much
like the running down of piece of
machinery for the want of water and
steam, and one cannot help at times
asking himself, as Job did, Is this the
end?
The Christian is Sustained in his
study of this matter by teachings of
Scripture which assure him that there
is a future life, but every thoughtful
man goes farther and asks, is it possible
to support the Scripture for the deport-
ments of life? We answer that it is,
and this address is intended to outline
some thoughts which serve to sustain
the words of Scripture.
In the first place, we have the argu-
ment in the universal acceptance of
this belief by mankind, and as far as
We know men in all conditions and
classes in the world, hold to the belief
of a continued existence, of a realm in
which the spirits of the departed exist.
Now we have found that there are
some ideas men have chung to with but
apparently little reason, which have
upon investigation proven correct, and
we conclude that such must be the rule
in respect to this thought.
Again we are told by credited science
that there is no force which ever ex-
isted which is lost. If material forces
are thus conserved, it is reasonable to
suppose that the energies of the mind
will be lost? God is not school mas
ter, but having assigned to his pupils
task which they have not completed at
the close of day, he bids them close
their books without the possibility of
accomplishing that which they have
failed to do here. Our best affections
point to a continued existence. In a
poem by Tennyson, the old grandmoth-
er is represented as recalling the per,
sons and scenes of her youth, her hus-
band, the boys and girls. They are all
at rest now, but she thinks of them as
living. She sees their faces and hears
their voices, and looks forward to the
time when she shall again see them Is
she deceived?l We cannot believe so.

Very Interesting Services Held Yesterday
Announcements.

Very Interesting Services Held Yesterday
Announcements.
The services at this Church yester-
day were OF more than usual interest.
The Rev. l.. W. Roberts, the pastor
preached in the morning from the
text-"Who then is willing to conse-
crate his services this day unto the
Lord" His theme was Conservation. J"
We can conSecrate our means, our
services, our bodies and our souls unto
the Lord. Many members of our church
are to-day consecrating their means,
and thus we are rapidly paying off the
debt which has long been hanging over
the church. David, IN the words Of the
text, called upon the people to conse-
crate their means to build the temple.
He did not do this until he himself set
the example by giving almost fabu-
lous amount of both silver and gold
The people generously responded; so
should Gods people do to-day. The
Church ought never to go begging. AS
a church, said the preacher, we expect
a revival; if so, we must get ready for
It. Are we ready for it? Have We con-
secrated our service? Are we willing
TO do all in our power to have revi-
val? If so we will have one, if not, We
ought not to expect it.
At Sunday School in the afternoon it
was announced that there would be a
short entertainment on Christmas eve
ming, and a treat for the little folks. "A
coed time is expected.
A Mother Goose" Social will be Civ
en- in the basement of the Church next
Saturday evening. This is given by the
company called "The Hustlers," whose
captain and director is Miss Ida Lewis.
This will be the entertainment of the
season.
The debt on the Church is being ra-
pidly paid off. In a year from now
there VIII be but little, if any, of it left.
The membership of the church is df-
vided into fifteen companies, each of
which is to pay 5000. Some of them
have already paid about one half of the
amount.
Revival services will begin imme-
diately after New Year Watch meet
ing services will be held on New Years
eve. The first Quarterly Meeting of the
present conference will be held Sunday
evening, January 29th.

was thought that thaw would result,
but it became colder after nine o'clock.

weather continues, it will not be long
until it is closed at Wheeling. Back

usual vespers and benediction, with an
eloquent address by Rev. Father Pa

Saturday afternoon and evening, as well
as in preparation for the early masses
before daylight. They were also con-
tinued throughout Sunday afternoon
and evening after the service. The
same rule will be followed this after
noon and evening, when Rev. Father
Mullen, of the Church of the Immacu-
late Conception, will deliver the sermon.
There were large attendances On each
occasion.
The Rev. Father Boutlou, the rector,
offered the two masses at the North
Wheeling Hospital at six and eight
o'clock respectively on Sunday morn
ing, while Rev. Father Kluser went
out to Elm Grove to preach his first
sermon in English, acquitting himself
with great credit.
The church at Elm Grove, by the
way, of which the corner stone was laid
September Sth last, by Archbishop
Kahn, was first used for divine services
on Sunday, December Sth, when the Rt.
Rev. Bishop went out and preached the
first sermon in the sacred edifice. The
church, built on beautiful lines, is lit

to a Register reporter last night, that in
all probability, the excavations for the
proposed new Episcopal residence, will
be commenced in the early spring.
Plans have not yet been made for 5he
structure, but 1t will be a plain build

on the site of the present building,
which has outliyed its usefulness.
