Church Uniting.

Some OF the church members inter-
ested state that there is a project on
foot, or the suggestion has been made
to consolidate under one congregation
and head, the First Presbyterian
church of this city and the Congrega-
tional church, and that one clergyman
may be employed to preside as pastor.
The present stringency OF the times
and an attempt to economic the
means at their disposal are said to be
the main incentives to this move
ment. The church government of the
two denominations mentioned are es-
sentislly the same, aud only in few
things do they appear to differ in doc
trinal or gospel principles.
To evangelize the world is, of course,
the professed object and mission of ali
churches and all religious teachers
outside OF the church.
Counting both the Roman Catholic
and Protestant churches, Olympia has
about a full complement of all the
leading religious denominations OF the
age. To support in becoming way
all these church societies is, OF course.
an onerous tax upon their respective
membership, and we are inclined to
believe that there is good deal of
wisdom in the proposition to which
we have alluded. According to the
way that religion is now practiced and
the manner in which the claims of
the gospel are presented to the peo-
pie, it takes money to run the churches.
1t has become an axiom that
preachers, like teachers, are a poorly
paid class of people; fact not so
strange when it is remembered that
the majority OF church members and
religiously inclined people are not
noted for being wealthy class.
There is not a church cdifice in
Olympia that would not hold twice or
thrice the people who generally attend
its appointed services every Sabbath.
and we see no reason why the Presby-
terrain and Congregational churches
should persist in struggling along
singiy, sorely taxing their decimated
membership when all could be COM
fortably assembled in either one OF
their edifices to be presided over by
single minister in charge.
The advantages of such an arrange
ment would simply be two to one over
the present existing state of affairs.
Retrenchment is going on in similar
callings and it might reasonably be
practiced by all of our religious bod
les and often times with good results.
The stated pastor of the Congrega.
tiohal church has already severed his
connection with that body and we
understand that the pastor of the
First Presbyterian church is now in
California where he is soon to be
Joined by his family.

Echolng Marriage Bells.

Married, at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry c. Myers, in Missouls,
Mont, on Wednesday, May 18th, Mr..
Charles E. Hartman and Miss E tia
May Yemen. The contracting parties
are too we'll known in the capital city
to need more than brief mention.
The bride. daughter of Prof. L. P.
Yemen, was born in Olympia, and
grew to young womanhood in our
midst, the favorite and beloved of all
who knew her.
The bridegroom, son of Mr.. George
Hartman, late of THE place, has lived
here long enough to gain the esteem
OF large circle of friends and business
men.
The newly welded pair will reside
in Missoula, and while Olympia has
lost two estimsble young people, a
distant city has gained a new home
and domestic shrine.

A farmer living near Lacrosse sta
ton has hit on a novel method of
discriminating squirrels. He has a
deep furrow running around his field,
and has several deep pits in the furrow,
in which he has placed large barrels
about half full of water. The result
is that the squirrels are drowned by
the wholesale, and all he has to do is
to keep water in the barrels and take
out the dead squirrels.
Albert Jansen, a Russian Finlander,
came to Seattle week ago from Sno-
homish county, and entered the Seat
tie general hospital. The attending
physicians, few days ago, discovered
that he was genuine victim of leprosy,
He has been on the Sound four years,
during which time he has worked in
logging camps. The local physicians
believe that he came to this country
with the disease, though he says that
he never had any signs of it until two
months ago. Parts of his body are
already perforated and his hands are
rotting away. The county and city
officials are consulting to-day on the
question OF where he shall be sent.
He will likely be shipped to the leper
settlements in British Columbia.
Frank Fuller was Monday released
from the government penitentiary on
McNeil's island, having served q 10
years sentence for the murder OF
Bishop Segers, Catholic bishop OF Van
couver. B. c., in Alaska, in 1887. Good
behavior shortened his sentence. Fuller
who was secretary to the bishop, on re-
lease, talked of the crime for the first
time since his arrest. He told a friend
that while journeying in the Alaskan
wilds. he and the bisohp quarreled
over an Indian woman; that it be-
came a case of the bishops life or his,
and he considered his life as sweet as
the bishops was to him. This is the
first light thrown on the mystery of
nine years standing, as no one else
was about when Segers was killed.
Fuller was convicted on circumstantial
evidence.
Oakesdale was thrown into fever
of excitement Tuesday by the arrest OF
Thomas Griffin, q prominent farmer
living two miles from that town, OIL a
charge of rape. Griffin is a married
man with several children. The VIC
tim is Bessie Gum, q 14-year-old girl.
According to the girls story the as.
ssult occurred on the goth of April, in
Griffin's house, during the absence of
his wife. She says she was compelled
at the point OF revolver to accede to
his wishes. She told Mrs. Griffin of
the assault. The wife became Infatuated
and beat her husband with a club.
The girl was not allowed to see her
parents till Monday. She told her
story, and the arrest followed. Griffin
was eating when arrested, and seemed
surprised. Great excitement prevails,
and the feeling against Griffin is very
bitter. Mrs. Griffin is Frustrated.

The christening of the new
schooner now being fitted out at the
foot of Second street, has something
more significant in it than mere cir
cumstance. ATLANTA" the name
given to the little craft, was the tabled
daughter of Iasus, of Arcadia or Boz
otia. She was, Of course, passing
fair, and said to be the swiftest of foot
among mOrtals, even outstripping the
Centaurs in the Grecian races. She
participated in the famous Caledonian
hunt, and was conspicuous in the Pc
liam games. She had many suitors,
their propositions looking to marriage
she compelled them to run Il race
with her on condition that whoever
outrau should wed her, but if she
vanquisIied him, lie paid the penalty
with his life. After many lovers had
contended with her only to lose their
lives by dart she carried in her
hand, one young man, Hippomenes by
name, consented to strive with her
upon the fearful conditions. Now
Hippo" had secretly obtained three
golden apples from Venus and that
goddess instructed him to throw these
golden apples as they ran. This de-
vice he deity carried out, and Alta
lanta, stopping to pick up the apples
as they were successfully thrown be-
fore her, was 30 detained upon the race
course that she lost the contest, her
lover coming out far ahead. 1t is fur
Their related, however, that the lovers
became so impatient to consummate
their nuptials that they entered the
temple of Cybele, and the goddess was
so offended at their impiety that she
changed them into lions. Let us hope
that this mythical history may not be
indicative of the fate of the owners OF
the ATLANTA, who have been as devout
lovers as ever princess slew by dart,
nor may any of their number be
turned into raging lions after they
have achieved the objects of their voy-
age into the frozen regions of the
northland.

shown by the engrossed copy of the
preamble and resolutions lately adopt
ed by the Legislature OF that State in
recognition of the services of Gov. w.
A. Newell, rs originator and founder
of the U. S. Life Saving system for
the preservation of life and property
from shipwreck. The testimonial is
work of art, in the form of an album,
with several beautifully engraved
pages, executed by Ames & Robinson,
art engrsvers. of New York. Each
page is of different design and style
of letter, and the title page contains
an elaborate engraving representing
shipwreck off shore, with human be-
ing clinging to the masts and shrouds
and the life-savers busy rescuing them
from their peril. The lining of the
testimonial is in royal purple and the

the offering was accompanied by cor

BRUIN DON'T UNDERSTAND bikes"
AS Mrs. George Blankenship was on
her way to the ranch" at Mud Bay
a few days ago. riding a bicycle. she
discovered large black bear near the
roadside, evidently engaged in eating
something. The intrepid woman dis
mounted from her wheel and APP
preached his bearship for investiga-
ton as to whether his repast might
not be honey, in which case she in
tended to assert her right to share
in the find. 1t is quite probable that
it was the determined manner of the
fair Amizonian, or it might have been
the novel manner in which she rolled
into view the bear retreated precepi-
lately into the timber. 1t was then
discovered that he was engaged in de-
molishing an ant-hill, and eating the
inhabitants as they valliantly ell
deavored to defend their home.
