the Church OF immaculate Conception, last
evening:
"Dr. johnson, being asked concerning
the doctrine OF ~purgatory, replied. "A

From the Idea of ressouableness and
Justice, the speaker went on 20 show the
fact Of Purgatory from tho Jewish tradt-

Cason is stationed at the Lakeside church. Rev. A. Turrentine is the presiding elder for the Pine Bluff district.

Their stay among us has been pleasant and Pine Bluff will always welcome q meeting of the Little Rock Conference in this city.

Mir. Irons is q low, small man, noth- Ing in his looks to denote q leader with the exception of good, quick eye and protruding chin. His clothes fit him loosely and he has the ap- pearance of being roughly treated by the world. since the memorable days when he led q band of men against capital and paralyzed our commerce for several months in the year, and finally won signal victory which was wrested from him afterwards by q gradual discharge of the men who stuck shoulder to shoulder and let hunger gnaw at their stomachs be fore they would give in.

Uses oT BamDoo.

The attention of builders Is being drawn to the value of bamboo as building ma. terial. Tho great strength of bamboo poles is not at all understood by the ma jority of persons. 1t is stated on excellent authority that two bamboo poles, each of them 1 7-10 inches in diameter, when placed side by side, will support a grand piano slung between them by ropes and that they will neither sag nor break under the burden Bamboo will form poles 66 to 70 feet long and from to 10 inches in diameter. A derrick, 26 feet high, made of inch bamboo poles, raised two iron girders, weighing together 424 pounds. The wonderful lightness of this material In proportion to it's strength has excited comment of late, and new uses are con stantly Icing made of it. Soaffoldings of bamboo have the advantage of lightness snd strength. It Is predicted that this material will come into general use for such purposes. An additional advantage ie that bamboo resists decay in water as we'll as in the earth, that the older and drier it gets the more solid it becomes, and that it can be grown for an incredibly small sum.

UNDER THE SPIRES.
Visiting Methodists Preach to Large Audiences at the Various
 Churches Sunday.

Sunday was bright, clear day, and though the air was chilly it was braclng. The weather was very favorable to church-going, and the visiting Methods ministers preached to large congregations at all the Protestant churches. Perhaps the largest audience of the day was that assembled at the First Methodist church where people fioeked in large numbers in the morning to hear 1 Bishop Hendrix, of Kansas City. The commodious church was taxed to its fullest seating capacity long before the hour for the sermon, and hundreds were turned away and re- paired to the other churches to hear | breaches of less renown. The large number of visiting preachers and the bright clear day, however, served to fill all the churches to their full seat ing capacity, and none of the preach CTS, either morning or evening, lack ed large audience.
 The appointments yesterday were as follows:
 First Methodist-Love feast at 9:30 0. m., led by Rev Andrew Hun ter; Il a. m., preaching by Bishop Hendrix. followed by ordination of deacons and elders; 3 p. m., Young Peoples Mass Meeting, addressed by Revs. o. E. Goddard and James Thomas; ' D. m., preaching by Rev. J. E. Godbey.
