In the family of one of our most infiuen-
tial members. But after the sermon we
talked matters over and they voted to
have me send them a minister for few
Sundays anyway and then they would
see what they could do. They have a
church that cost nearly $1,000 and it
must be used il possible.
Wednesday morning l drove over to
Silver Lake where our friends of the
Lodi church were having their picnic.
/ took dinner with them and then drove
on to Lodi to take the train for Black
River Falls. l came to this latter place
to get the property into the hands of
the Convention and was successful.
They have decided the church to the
Convention. and it will be decided back
to them for worship as Universalist
church. From there / went to Augusta
to preach on Thursday evening. Our
parish in Augusta has no building of
their own 80 we had to have the Opera
house. About seventy five persons were
out to the service. A business meeting
was announced for the next evening.
There we talked over the affairs of the
church. They were convinced they
needed minister. young man. They
could pay for one all of the time but as
they we're trying to build church they
would have to be content with services
only every other Sunday. l feel conf
dent that the future of this parish is to
be bright and til. went there had no
idea how strong they were. They have
the very best element in the place on
their rolls.
/ telegraphed back to Black River
Falls that / would be there the next
Sunday. AS it happened this was the
Sunday when the German people used
the church and we could only have it in
the evening. About fifty persons were
present and after the sermon we had a
business meeting, felt that my visit
as Secretary was useful and came away
rejoicing that had succeeded in getting
the property decided to the Convention.
At midnight | began my trip home,
where 1 arrived safely and fairly tired,
but still truly happy at the results Of
my vacation trip. A. G. GRIER.

Church of the Redeemer, Rev. 7. B.

there will be on the first Sunday in Sep
TENDER. The Ladies Aid of Dixon has

SCORES OF ELKS HURT.

Atlantic City, n. J., July 1.-THE So
cial session given by the Atlantic City

terrible disaster, in which fully 100

jured.
The session had just opened, and only
one Of the speakers had been heard, when
without the slightest warning. the build
ing, which has not been used for several
years, collapsed, and fully 1000 persons
were thrown TO the floor beneath Many
women, the wives of visiting Elks went
down in the ruins. Fully 200 persons, who
were on the first floor Immediately be-
meath the banquet hall, were crushed I'M
der the timbers and lay helpless. The
fact that all the electric lights in the
building went out at the time the build
ing gave way added to the confusion. An
alarm was Immediately turned in, and the

lice officer in the city were called to the

DECLARED THE ACTION VOID.
Decision Against the Wisconsin Mutual
Fire Insurance Company.

Decision Against the Wisconsin Mutual
Fire Insurance Company.
Chicago, H., July 11-District Judge
Smith filed a decision yesterday in Min
neapolis in the case of Seamans, receiver
Of the Wisconsin Mutual Fire Insurance
company, VS.. Christian Brothers Milling
company, in which he holds that the con-
tract of insurance was made in Minnesota
in violation of state laws, and that the as
sessment made against the defendant
upon which the cause of action is based
was unauthorized, unjust and void He
also decides that the plaintiff is not only
entitled to recover the amount against
the defendant, but that the defendant is
entitled to judgment against the plaintiff
for his costs. In a memorandum the
court expresses the opinion that the con-
tract would not have been enforced in
this state, as the company was not au-
thorized to do business, even if it were
Wisconsin. In case of loss by fire the
would be compelled to seek remedy in
foreign jurisdiction. The case stands
different from ordinary cases, in that the
application was made and filled entirely
by the insurance company, and it must be
taken that before it had issued the policy
and before it had sent it and the applica-
ton to the defendant for his signature
the insurance company had accepted the
application with all its terms, subject only
to the signature of the defendant. The
act of contamination was done at Min
neapolis, and it was thus illegal and can
not be enforced. The decision affects all
such policies drawn up in Wisconsin but
conSummated in Minnesota.

GOLF CADDIES STRIKE.
rrG1bie on Hobart Chatfie1d-TayIor's
Lake Forest Links.

Chicago, Ill, July 12.-"If dem rich
guys wants ter play golf dey can pay us
kids more wages for our Professional
services. We amt in business for our
healt!'
This is what the caddies who have
heretofore carried the bags for Hobart G.
ChatfeldTaylor' golf players at Lake
Forest say. And they blow loud blasts
on bugle as they say it.
Therefore the society people of the sub
urb who are lovers of the game played
without caddies yesterday, while the
sound of the bugle not far from the golf
links proclaims to them in mournful ac-
cents that the caddies are near, but yet
so far; for they will no longer extend to
the players their services in the game.
In order to play golf and avoid too
much work It is necessary to have a
caddy, small boy whose function and
duty is to carry the bags for the players.
Nearly every player hires one of these
boys and the uniform rate of payment
hitherto has been % cents for the first
round and 10 cents for each successive
round. The boys seemed we'll satisfied,
but suddenly trouble has broken out and
now they have gone on strike, the object
of which is to obtain % cents for each
round of the links

New York, July 15.-Capt. James NJ.
Webb of Brooklyn has returned from
Washington, where he has been trying
to secure some of the small arms which
are being replaced by the new magazine
rifle for use in the army. If the captains
negotiations with the war department are
successful the condemned rifles will find
their way into the hands of the Cuban
reyolutonists. That is admitted by
Webb and the local representatives of the
Cubans do not deny it. The captain says:
1T may surprise our Spanish friends to
know that small arms intended for Cuba
are being sent out Of Brooklyn and New
York at the rate of about 5000 every
week. None of the laws of this country
are violated by the shippers, but the arms
get to the revolutionists in due course
