Rev. .. q. Miller Organizes New Church
In the Western Addition.
The San Francisco Chronicle has the
following concerning q former Roanoke
pastor:
Several years ago Rev. Oliver G.
Miller organized the English Lutheran
church In this olty, and during a three
years pastorate he built 1t into strong
and flourishing organic alton. Three
years ago Mr.. Miller went to Roanoke,
Va, and started church there, which
has since met with similar success.
Two weeks ago he returned 10 this city
WITH the view OF starting smother church
here In any locality suitable for the
purpose.
During this brief period he has or
ganized an evangelical church in the
western Addition, 10 which has been
given the name Of the Church of the
holy Spirit, and 1t began yesterday to
hold regular services in franklin Hall.
on Fillmore street, near Bush. The
nall was crowded yesterday morning at
the initial service. Mr.. Miller took as
the theme of his sermon, "The Admin
istration OF the Spirit" drawing his text
from Thessalonians, v:l9: "Quench not
the spirit 1" He said: 1.-The text ia she
most needful exhortation to the church.
IL comes from the Son, who, by the
power OF the spirit, accomplished all his
mighty works, and who tells US that 1t
10 the office Of the spirit to take of the
things that pertain unto him self and
show them unto us.
Let us fashion this humble BEGINNING
after the original Psnteoostal model
that He whose name 1t bears NAV take
as one OF the weak things to con-
found the mighty. "Our bodies are the
temples of Holy Spirit, and we, as be-
levers. may be indwelt and inhlIed
with His power and presence"
In the evening Mr.. Miller's theme
was "Com munion With God" his text
being taken from the 63d Psslm and
parts Of tho FIRST, fifth and eighth YER
ses-"My soul thirsseth X" INV
soul shall be satisfied, INV
soul followeth hard after thee. n"
Communion with God" said the
speaker, sis having things in common
Win GOD; com mon desires; an upliit-
ing OF the heart in devotion; 1t is the
tuning OF our hearts with Gods; our de-
sires meet Gods; our own thoughts
meet his Thoughts, and our emotions
meet his. the happiest experience of
the human heart ls communion with
dod. Nothing gives such JOY, such
peace OF spirit, such comfort of heart"
The speaker then discussed the SOUL
seeking God, the soul satisfied and the
soul pressing closer to God.
The trouble with most men," ne
said, "is that they are trying to satisfy
the yearnings Of the soul with temporal
things instead of with'spiritual nourish.
ment."
The Church of the holy Spirit Is the
sixth that Mr.. Miller has organized
during his twenty years service in the
ministry.

THE FAIRY STONE.
Found In virginia-Supposed to BE = Tal-
isman Against Evil.

Found In Virgfnis-SupPoSed to Be Tal-
isman Against Evil.
The Mother of Statesmen" has pro-
duced number of good things from
first to last-chivalrous men, fascinat-
ing, soft-voiced women, fine horses and
the like, but that popular fad should
originate with her is an altogether new
departure, says the Philadelphia Times.
Everything must have a beginning,
however, and who knows, now that the
fairy stone has found such favor in the
world of fashion, what possibilities she
may develop in this direction? These
queer bits of petrified earth are in
digenous to Patrick, southern border
county of Virginia, cut off from Henry
and called, like the latter, in honor of
the statesman and orator, Patrick
Henry. They are not excavated for,
but lie loose upon the surface of the
earth, and, though restricted to two or
three parts of the county, exist in great
numbers and various sizes.
Upon each stone representation of
the cross is distinctly though delicately
traced, and legend concerning them
states that band of fairies, dwelling
at Jerusalem during the life of our
scene on Calvary, were so Mortified by
it that they fed to this remote region
and transformed themselves into these
petrifed emblems. This legend has
given rise to innumerable superstitions,
and from time immemorial the stones
have been worn as a1nulets by those
living in the vicinity in which they are
found.
The reputation was local, however,
until that era in Virginia's history
known as the ''boom" Then her su-
perstitions and sacred traditions, along
with her other commodities, became OBJ
| iectS of barter. Speculation fixed its
calculating eye upon the fairy stone
and it was taken from it's native bed
and experimental with in order that it
| might be rendered marketable.
It was soon discovered that no tedious
process was necessary for its develop
ment. A sharp instrument passing
along the outline stamped upon its sur
face converted the jagged stone into a
| symmetrical cross, and a little polishing
and a plunge into a bath of boiling oil
| gave the requisite smoothness and the
rich mahogany color one sees in the
| stone Of commerce. A tip of gold at
| the four extremities and ring tc
which a chain might be attached gave
the finishing touch to it, and when thus
simply mounted fairy stones sold fol
a dollar apiece.
The traditions concerning their won
derful working power are as inexhaus-
tible as the beds from which they are
! taken, and would furnish endless
themes to writers Of fairy tales and
folklore stories. They are supposed tc
ward off evil and bring good luck tc
| their possessor, but in order to do this
must be worn around the neck and next
to the person.

choosing the national Capital.

''It is not generally known" says the
Philadelphia Record, 'Ebut it is fact
of history, nevertheless, that Bristol
township, lying on the east side of Ger
mantown, had a very narrow escape
from being selected as the site of the
capital of the United States. It was a
very small matter that turned the
choice toward Maryland and Virginia.
So positive were some members of con-
gress that the capital was to be located
near Germantown that they purchased
real estate there, not, of course, as a
matter of speculation, but simply to be
near at hand when the removal from
Philadelphia to Bristol took place.
When the vote of the commissioners
was taken there was a tie, four being
for Bristol and four for the District OF
Columbia. Washington cast the decid-
ing vote, and Bristol township was Left
out in the cold"

RICE PAPER.
The Chinese Tree Is Now Successfully
Grown in Florida.

The Chinese Tree Is Now Successfully
Grown in Florida.
The rice-paper tree, one of the most
interesting of the fora of China, has
recently been successfully expert
mented with in Florida, where it now
hourishes, with other sub-tropical and
oriental species of trees and shrubs,
says the st. Louis Republic. When
first transplanted in American soil the
experimenters expressed doubts of its
hardness, fearing that it would be I'M
able to stand the winters. All these
fears have vanished, however, and it is
now the universal opinion that it is as
well adapted to the climate of this
country as to that of the famed Flowery
kingdom
It is a small tree growing to height
of less than fifteen feet, with trunk
or stem from three to Ave inches in
diameter. Its canes, which vary in color
according to season, are large, soft and
doWny, the form somewhat resem bling
that noticed in those of the castor-bean
plant. The celebrated rice paper, the
product Of this queer tree, is formed of
thin slices of the pith, which is taken
from the body of the tree in beautiful
cylinders several inches in length.
The Chinese workmen apply the blade
of sharp, straight knife to these cylin-
ders and, turning them round either by
rude machinery or by hand, dexter
ously pare the pith from circumference
to center. This operation makes roll
of extra-quality paper, the scroll being
of equal thickness throughout. After a
| cylinder has thus been pared it is I'M
rolled and weights are placed upon it
until the surface is rendered uniformly
| smooth throughout its entire length.
It is altogether probable that if rice
| paper making becomes an industry in
| the United States these primitive
modes will be done away with.

Ten Rounds and q Knockout In q New
York Gymnasium.
Nearly every week day afternoon the
favored visitor to certain aristocratic
gymnasium on Fifth avenue, New York,
may see clever boxing bouts between
the spirituelle young sports in knicker-
bockers who are members of the organ
ization.
Not many days ago, says the New
York World, a ten-round ''go" between
two of the most expert girls resulted in
clean knockout.
A member of the gymnasium, who
found the secret too much to keep,
gives details of the bout, but refused to
say more than that the contestants
were named Maud and Ethel respect
lively.
For the first four rounds neither fair
boxer gained much advantage, al
though there were several rafting ex-
changes.
In the fifth Maud secured first knock
down, and there followed three rounds
devoted to uneventful rallies.
The ninth round was distinguished by
some clever work in the way of feints,
ducks and counters, both contestants
being pretty well winded at the quaver
ing call of time from member who
was so excited that she had almost lost
her voice.
When the flushed and painting, but
plucky, girls faced each other for the
last round the first effort made was
splendid straight-arm punch which
sent Ethel Keeling for a moment. A
new member of tender years quietly
tainted in a corner just as Ethel re-
covered herself quickly in time to duck
another beauty aimed for the chin.
Before Maud could get herself back
into position Ethel landed twice and
her adversary at once became exceed
ingly groggy.
Ethel, though putting like granpus
herself, was quick to see her opportuni-
ty, and with smart uppercut sent poor
Maud to the floor in bunch, fairly
knocked out.
The vanquished maid was carried to
dressing-room, where she soon recov-
cred. Then all the girls, after having a
good cry together, went home, satisfied
that they had a lovely time and eager
for the next bout.
