by the Junior Endeavor, gave an en-.
tertainment Sunday night which was
much enjoyed by the large audience
present. The program consisted Of
music, Rotations, an address by the
pastor, etc, The children performed
their parts very creditably, owing TO
the careful drilling Of Mrs. ]. T. Her.
rick, who had charge Of this part Of
the program. One novel feature was
a class recitation, each member rep.
resenting one Of the different mission
fields and being dressed in the native
costume Of the inhabitants. Another
was large picture Of a locomotive,
the little ones recitinga verse appro-
pirate to the workings Of the machin-
cry and applying il to the subject in
hand. A collection OF about $40 was
taken, which will be applied to the
cause of home missions.

to make this extract: II have no hesitation in

A scheme is on foot to establish a
pneumatic mail service between New
York and Brooklyn. The postal
authorities in both cities have en-
dorsed the project, as have also Pres
Howell and Chief Engineer Martin of
the bridge. The capacity of the tube
to be put in will be eight inches in di-
ameter and will be capable of landing
1913, coo pieces of mail matter an hour
in each direction. The schedule time
for the transfer of mail from the
Brooklyn Office is now twentySseven
minutes. BY means of the new ar
rangement it will be possible to dis
patch mail every two or three minu-
ties from each terminal. While the
prophecy of failure may come true in
this business as in any. it does not
seem probable. The men at the head
of this enterprise have proved them
selves successful business men in
other lines and with methods such as
they say they shall employ we see no
reason for failure in this.

The startling fact that MY per
cent. of the capital invested in rail-
roads in the United States paid no
dividends in 1895, is made public by
the Inter State Commerce Commits
sion IN it's annual report. Railway s
in the southwest group paid practical
ly nothing on their stock in 1895. Rail
ways on the Pacific coast and in Kan
sas and Arkansas paid dividends on
only about five per cent of their
stock. In New England only % per
cent. ofsthe stock was non dividend
paying Bonds to the amount Of $50, :
$50, 900, or 1877 per cent. of the whole
funded debt Of the roads, were in de-
fault in 1895.

PUSHING ON THE WORK.

Secretary Lamont's administration
of the War Department will long be
memorable for one thing-the begin
ming of work on large scale on mod
ern seacoast defences. The Secreta-
ry has Republican House of Repre-
sentatives to thank for that. 1t gave
him at it's last session, in direct and
indirect appropriations, total sum
of about eleven million dollars. g
Naturally Secretary Lamont in his
present annual report makes coast
defence his most important subject.
tial progress in the fabrication of
heavy ordnance, and he might an
nounce more if the production of gun
carriages had kept pace with the
manufacture of the guns themselves.
But there was much delay in devils
ing a satisfactory type of carriage,
particularly for the largest guns, and
then the capacity of the workshops
at the Watertown Arsenal is limited.
The result is that while on June 80
last the gun factories had completed
sixty one s-inch type, ffty-six 10
inch and twenty one 12inch guns and
eighty Pinch mortars, most of these
weapons were useless for lack of car
riages.
The disappearing gun carriage is
both an intricate and a powerful
mechanism, but the Government is
now pushing the work of manufacture
as speedily as possible, both at Water
town and in contractors private es
adjustments. BY July next it is hop
ed that 20 gun carriages and 123 NOR
tar carriages will be completed-aH
that there will then be room for in
the new Notifications. o. -
These Notifications, or enaplace
ments as they are called, are thick
curtains of earth, with concrete
packing, about the points where the
guns are mounted. These earthern
walls can be constructed at relatively
small expensive, and they will, of
course, resist hostile fire far better
than the old fashioned masonry. The
stout granite walls on which the old
time engineers lavished so much care
no longer have to be laboriously
wrought out The new steel rifles,
nicely balanced on their disappearing
carriages, require only huge mound
of sand or gravel to protect them.

There was quite a dramatic little
scene at one of the up town theatres
in Boston, when couple of
rather we'll dressed young people
were arrested on the charge of steal
ing bit of millinery from Wash
ington street hat store. The young
man, according to the charge of the
proprietor, took the hat off with him
under his coat, the young woman
slipped out directly after him., and
the hat never came back. The peo
pie in the theatre were good deal
worked up, and the young people
were taken to the station a good
deal broken down, but there was no
denial of the facts. It ought 30 be a
moral lesson in millinery, and per-
haps it wiilbe.-E rchG age.

The work of improving the New
York and Erie canal will begin this
winter, giving employment to 1000
men. BY direct vote the people of
New York authorized the expendi-
ture Of $9,0OO,0 900 in the canals of the
state. The Erie canal will be deep
ened ninefeet. This addition of two
feet to its present depth will admit
boats 16 feet longer, with freight

probable that the seven locks at
Lockport will be replaced with an
elevator lock, lifting boats 81 feet to
the higher level. The necessary
blasting and dredging can be done to
advantage during the winter.
