Jackson City did not attract many Of the

roads were kuce-deep in mud and water,
the harrooms were tracked and besmat-
tered with mud. and Evangelist Matchett
and his usual helpers had small audience.
Although the crowd of visitors was SO
small the saloons were kept wide open
in a determined effort TO catch everything
that came their way. Their Sunday enter
prise was rewarded. When the rain came
all who had hitherto stood in front of the
row of groggeries were compelled to seek
shelter, ard the barkeepers soon were very
busy.
The back rooms OF the saloons, too,
found many tenants, and the sounds OF
revelry and the musical click of chips fioated
over the transoms. Gambling and drinking
was mostly confined, however, to the touts
and regular residents of the place

The only difference between Rosyln

The Imprisonment of Eugene v. Debs,
stirred deeply the labor world of America,
viii he discussed tomorrow night at the
han of District Assembly No. &c, under the
auspices OF the Federation of Labor. A
feature Of this meeting that VIII especially
interest the public is that the discussion
will be with open doors.
1t has not been so stated officially, but
there is reason 10 believe that this meeting
is to some extent the outcome OF the visit
to this city of General Master Workman
j. r. Sovereign, who handles this topic
without gloves when he has occasion to
refer to IT.
WHAT MAY BE EXPECTED.
Some decidedly positive expressions of
opinion on the Debs matter may therefore
be looked forward 10, and perhaps the
passage of some plainly and positively
couchcd resolutions.
1t is not likely that Mr. Sovereign VIII at
tend the meeting, as he may find it nee
essary 10 go TO New I0lk to- -aorrOw. Mr
Sovereign pals: Il visit 10 the Few and hand
some headquarters of DistriCt Assembly,
No. Go, yesterday, as the guest OF District
Master Workman w. q Simmons The
genial Master Workman expressed him
self as highly pleased with this and other
evidences OF progress in the Assembly Of
the District
An Interesting talk was had at head
quarters with Mr.. Sovereign by a repre-
Sentative 1f The Times. There is no
special significance in the visit here Of
the Grand Master Workman. He has re-
Gently been hard al work in the West, and
especially IN Kansas and Missouri. He has
addressed large and attentive audiences
in many towns in the West very often, TO
meet the emergency, being obliged to make
two speeches a day.
He has spoken at K ich Hill, Leavcnworth;
Sedalia, ana Crockersville, the chief object
OF his trip being to organize locals and to
build up the order His general view Is that
the spirit of the organization is every
where well understood and appreciated
by labOring men.
SOVEK EIGN'S GREAT SUCCESS.
He is also able to report great success
in the organization of local orders, not
withstandIng the adverse conditions in
districts where men are unable TO find con
slant employment
MT Sovereign learRed While here and
spoke apprec ia lively of the fact that
since November last five new locals have
been organized in this D-+rict by District
Master Workman Simmons.
Speaking on the Debs case, the general
master workman condemned the inCarcera-
ton as an outrage in view of The manner
in which 1T was done. Mr. Sovereign'S
decided view on this question is not one
OF recent expression. His attitude on il
is well known.
In response 10 an invitation to address
the workmcn of this district rendered 10y
officers here, ar. Sovereign accepted IL
general terms, but owing to his many
engagements, he could not fix a date

Rev Mr. Van Arsdale Urges the Re-
buiIding of Fifteent h st rect Chnrch.

6"N- MI an ArEdaie Urges the Re-
building of Fifteeut hStreet Church.
The pulpit of the Ftftesath street
Methodist Episcopal CfIul,n was occupied
yesterday inorniug by the pastor, Rev. w.
W. Van Arsdale.
For some time past this 4 BILE minister has
been making strenuous efforts Il raise The
sum of $40, 900 which is required to
replace the present frame structure, that
has outgrown its usefulness, with a hand
some bTownstOEe and brick edifice SIX
hundred dollars We're subs scribed yesterday
and this brings the building fund up to
S. 500.
Mr.. V an Arsdale took his text from Nehe-
mdh, = II. He explained a some length
the ruinous condition of The walls of
Jerusalem after the return OF the children
Of Israel from bondage, a I'D of Nchemiah's
eHhortatiou Let Us build up the wall
ofJerusalem that 1T DC no Elorea reproaCh :"
He said in part
A city without walls was pOwerless and
open to the attacks of any enemy Jeru-
salem is here used as figure to represent
the Church OF God, and there are times in
the history of a church when the walls
need to be rebuilt in order that it beNno
longer a reproach. In this significance
the truth of the text may be made manifest
in the case of the Fifteenth Street
Church. There are several reasons why
we should build up the walls of Jerusalem
on the church.
First, because of what the church compre-
hends. 1t is God: the embodiment of that
thought, and of the thought of the pronul-
cation of Gods ideas and PURPOSES Sec
ond, because of what the church accom-
plishes. The primary object of the church
is to accomplish Gods viii. Ii is a place
from which flows a stream OF living water,
the place from which shines the glorious
light making all dark places luminous and
melting the mists and clouds OF doubt and
error
1t is a great educational agent, instruct
ing men in great doctrines and dogmas. 1t
is the only reforming power, and every
N Ovement for the better has had its
origin in the church. Because of what the
church embodies and aCCompliShes, it is a
necessity, and it is only fitting that ii
should have home worthy of an insJitu
tiou that has such lofty and sublime ends
The necessity Of rebuilding the Fifteenth
Street Church is patent. The old frame
edirice has now been standing twenty-two
years, and in its growth it has not kept pace
with tue growth of the neighborhood. We
should build a church on the corner, and it
should he one of the most beautiful In the
city.

TEACHERS OPPOSE THE PLAN OF DIVISIONAL
sUPERINTENDENTs.
School Commissioner Strauss presided yesterday
afternoon at a conference OF the Committee on
School System and the teachers and principals of
the public school represented by the offices or
the associations with which they are connected.
The only subject finally discussed was the ad-
vantage OF having the school system divided into
twenty districts with divisional superintendent In
charge OF each district The principals and teach
ers were opposed to this. They said 1t would re-
fleet upon the Board OF Education and principals
and place the divisional schools under Dictator
whose influence. they considered would be more
evil than beneficial.
DR. j. NJ Rice, who is a well-known writer on
educational matters favored the idea but admitted
that he never said IT proved satisfactory In prac-
tce In the cities where X prevails and that II was
nothing more than theory for New-fork TO eX-
pertinent with. =,
Commissioner Holt spoke against the plan. He
said the Board OF Education, by adopting 1t, would
be merely placing their power and duties to the
public in the ha nds of irresponsible persons. He
referred to the proposed scheme as vicious con-
trivance. and the members of the committee, as
we'll as the teachers and principals. were In accorI
with him. The conference was adjourned until
next Thursday afternoon.
