CHURCHLY NOTES

A Bible in rhyme is one Of the literary
curiosities in the library of Glasgow uni
versity. 1t is the work Of an eccentric
old minister, Zachary Boyd by name.
He is not the first that attempted that
stupendous task. Saxon Caedmon and
Jate tried their hands with more or less
success, and there is extant as proof Of
the labors of the latter, rhyming YER
sion of the Psalms. Zachary Boyd gave
full rein to his imagination in his versi-
fication of holy writ, "and," says the
Literary Digest October 16), produced
a work of much interest and curiosity,
though it has never yet been published"
Nor should it ever be published. 1t is
but morbid fancy that would conceive
that the sacred text would be improved
by the jingling of rhyme. The Bible is
largely a work Of stately diction and
noble style-a series of chapters in
blank verse, breathing the very essence
Of poetic fervor in the telling of the
thought message it brings to mankind.
There can be rhythm without rhyme, as
there are oceans of rhyme without
rhythm. A lusus naturae may have its
counterpart in letters, and rhyming
Bible might be considered in that light
a mere literary curio.

Rev. Frank Vrooman Of Chicago is
going to seek his fortune in Klondike.
He was assistant pastor of the Peoples
church of Chicago-a church of liberal
doctrinal views-but resigned because
of the meagerness of the stipend he re-
ceived for his labors. The reverend gen.
tleman covered his retreat by firing"
this Parthian arrow at his former be-
4, loved flock-'a liberal society in matters
of religion" as we are told: Il have"
says Mr.. Vrooman, discovered to my
satisfaction that a church which be-
lieves nothing gives nothing. 1t is
the hidebound, orthodox Christian, with
a believing sense of hell, that contrib
utes to the support of the church and
the ministry" The Advance editorially
commenting thereon, says this was q
little harsh, but that there is much
truth in the statement" and the North
and West (Presbyterian) says that Mr..
Vrooman "seems to have a faculty OF
setting the ministers by the ears"
Continuing, that paper states that Give
liberal ministers in Chicago took the
pains to denounce the views of the &C.
clesiastical Bohemian who sought shei-
ter in their fold, but found pasturage SO
scarce that he is going to Klondike."
The rough and ready miners of the
Yukon country may prove rather a dan
gerous quantity for Mr.. Vrooman to
bank on.

HE WAS PROBiRIY MURDERED. John Guillion's Money P, ,obably Cost Him
 His Life.

Lynn, Mass, July 29.-State Officer Neal is hard at work on the supposed murder of John Gulio, and tonight he said that considerable evidence had been accumulated. In the room where Gulio was burned to death was found an oil can, which was peculiar, as 1t is known that Gullio always kept this can in an outhouse. It is also known that Gullo had S1T5 or whereabouts on the night of the fire, and that he was in the habit of keeping part of his money In the mattress and part in his trousers, which were hung near the bed. It is also known that Williams had the gold fever very severely, and that a day or two before the fire he told Gullio that he wanted to go to the Klondike, but did not have the money.
 The theory of the police is that the murderer of Gullio broke into the house and, knowing where the Italian kept his money, was going through Gullio's trousers when he woke up. A terrific fight then ensued, in which both men were badly scratched, but Gullio was gradually overpowered and at last rem dered unconscious or perhaps killed.
 The fiend then went to the outhouse and. taking the can of oil, went back to the scene of the robbery. Here he en- deavored to clear away all traces of the crime by sprinkling oil over the body of Gullio, and then, after getting all the money, set the fire and escaped The police tonight do not think that there was any shooting in connection with the crime although Gullio's body was so badly burned that 1t Is hard to say just how he met his death.
 Officer Neal stated tonight that Williams room in Wakefield had been searched and s75 in bills found under the carpet. A revolver was also found but it's appearance gave no indication of having been used for some time, al- thougI1 if was loaded.

PRESIDENT 1T PL4rTsBURG.
Occupies With Mrs. Mckinley Suite Of | Rooms in Hotel Champlain Annex.

Plattsburg, N. Y., July 29.-The pres ident and Mrs. Mckinley occupied a suite of seven rooms on the second floor in the southwest corner of the Hotel Champlain Annex, connected with the main building by corridors. The rooms are the finest in the house, and have been especially finished and furnished in elegant style and taste.
 The president had few callers to-day. General Peck, adjutant general of Ver- mont, and wife, General Guy V. Hen ry. commandant of Fort Ethan Allen. and wife, and Hon. Legrand B. Cannon, all of Burlington, arrived in the morn ing and were received by the president. General Peck came, representing the governor and people of the state of Yer mont, with handsome offerings of flow CTS for the ladies of the presidential rarty. Mrs. Mckinley was delighted by lovely bouquet of orchids. Mrs. Alger received American Beauty roses. and Mrs. Porter pink carnations. Be fore he left General Peck had extracted promise from MT. Porter that the president would visit Burlington next Wednesday and review the cavalry troops at Fort Ethan Allen and later attend reception In his honor at the palatial home of MT. Cannon.
 The only other plans so far made by the president are review of the Twen- ty-first regiment, United States Infant ry, and a reception by the officers of Plattsburg post to take place probably next Tuesday; then, some time next week, trip by steamer to Isle LaMot- tee as the guests of Senator Proctor and of the Vermont Game and Forestry commission On August 13 the prest- dent will visit the Vermont state en- campment of National Guard at Ches- ter. He will possibly visit Bar Harbor before his return to Washington.

DIED AT THE nAoE TRACK.
Dr. E. F. Mclean, Noted Turfinan, Dies
 Suddenly.


 Cincinnati, July 29.-After watching his gallant lilly Taluca win in the op era house stakes in the hardest kind of a drive pr. E. r. Mclean, one of the best known horsemen on the American turf, was attacked with heart disease and died a short time afterward at the Oakley race track this afternoon.
 MT. Mclean was sitting alone in the timers stand when he dropped over gasping for breath. Medical aid was summoned, but despite the efforts of several physicians the turfman died just as the bugle sounded calling the horses to the post for the last race. MT McLeans death was undoubtedly caused by the exciting finish in the stake race and the sensational inci- dents which followed.
 After Taluca crossed the wire winner by a nose and the jockeys were dis mounting, John Huffman, the St. Louis Eorseman, took advantage of the sell ing clause in the conditions of the race and began to bid up Taluca, MT. Me- Leans horse. Tom Blackburn, MT. McLean's trainer, stood by and pro- tected his lilly, and after being bid up to $3,000 she was bought in by Black burn at that figure. Blackburn at once put in a claim for Remember Me, Huff mans horse, which finished second to Taluca, and after paying $500, the amount she was entered for, both ami mals were led to McLean's stable All during the run up Dr. Mclean sat si- lently watching the transaction. After it was over McLean's friends first mo- ticed that he was i'll and only a short time afterwards he received the fatal attack.
 For fifteen years or more MT. Mclean has raced horses and the public always had the greatest of confidence in his stable.

OFFER OF DIAGONAL ARM0R
Refused by Secretary Long, but Battle

Refused by Secretary Long, but Battle-
 ships will Continue Building.
 Washington, July 29-Secretary Long has rejected the offer of the srnor com panies to supply the diagonal armor for the three battleships Alabama, Wisconsin and Illinois, now building at a price to be fixed hereafter by the navy department itself.
 The companies made this offer under the impression that as the armor of this kind is entirely within the hull and superstructure of the ships, the failure of the government to procure it would stop the work of the ship builders en- tirely
 Therefore, while they refused to furnish all of the armor needed at the price fixed by congress, they undertook to supply the diagonal armor, leaving the price afterwards to be adjusted. Secretary Long, however, has found that 1t will be possible to go on with the work of building the ships and al- low the armor to be placed later on.

NO MONEY TO BUILD sEWEns.

Sewer Committee Gives Leave to All Pe-
 titioners to Withdraw.
 At the meeting of the sewer commit
 tee of the common council last evening leave to withdraw was given to the
 petitioners for sewers on various streets. This action is taken in accord ance with section 157 of the new char ter, which provides that no public inn
 provement of any kind shall be order
 cd by the court of common council, or other authority having power to au- thorize the same, until an appropria- tion for said improvement has been
 duly made.
 The $500,000 worth of sewer bonds authorized by the legislature a few years ago has been exhausted, as have also the proceeds from sewers. Since there can be no issuance of sewerage bonds until the next legislature meets. all petitions for sewers now are useless and no more such petitions will be re- ferred to the sewer committee this year.
 1uG pGllLlOIGIS WllO dTS SlNeI leave to withdraw include those asking for sewers on Scranton street, between Wa verly and Day streets; on Fillmore
 street, from Pine to Lombard streets;
 on Newhall street, from Ivy to Lilac streets; on Gibbs street, between Shel- ton avenue and the railroad on Platt street, between Elm street and Edge wood avenue; on Willow street, be- tween Orange and Foster streets and
 on River and South Front streets, be- tween Poplar street and Grand avenue. The same disposition will be made of the petition for a sewer on White street. which Is now before conference com- mittee.
 The petitions for sewers on Fillmore and Gibbs streets were considered last evening. Those who appeared in favor of the Gibbs street petition were Robert T. Penn, Adam H. Mann, Patrick Don- ohue, Benjamin Rawling, Henry Voel- | ker and c. s. Rowley. Anthony Car roll and Mrs William Reed appeared 1 to oppose the granting of the petition | Stephen F. McGann, William Byrne ! and Michael F. Henry appeared to ad- vocate the building of a sewer on Will ] low street. There was no opposition.

 Constantinople, July 29.-The demand of the German ambassador, Baron Saurma de Jeltsch, that provision be inserted in the peace treaty between Greece and Turkey for European control of Greek finances meets With disfavor among the other ampassa- dors. They consider that it Is not cov- cred by their instructions, but should be made the subject of direct negotla- tions between Germany and the other powers.
 Even the Turks oppose this project, as they regard 1t as an attempt to take advantage of the peace negotiations In the, interests of the German bondhold- CTS. While it is thought improbable that Greece could raise the indemnity loan without such guarantees as would be provided by European control of her finances, the proposed stipulation is not regarded as in order in treaty to which only Greece and Turkey are par ties.

AAnNED AND wRENN BEATEN.
It Was in the Doubles at Longwood-Re
 suits in Other Games.


 Boston, July 29--In the semi-fnal round of the Eastern championships doubles at Lonswood this afternoon, champion In singles R. D. Wrenn and his partner Larned were defeated by G. L. Wrenn and Whitman in four set match, while Mahoney and Nesbit, the two foreigners, beat Budlong of Provi- dence and Williston of Boston in three straight heats. owing to the soggy condition of the courts the matches in singles the most important of the tour uament, were postponed until to-mor- row, but the management persuaded the players in the doubles to finish their matches, notwithstanding the un- certain condition of the turf.
 Little interest, however, was taken In the matches, as 1t was a foregone con clusion that Mahoney and Nesbit would defeat their opponents, while the vic- tory of G. L. Wrenn and Whitman over the two veterans did not surprise those who had been watching the players. Neither R. D. Wrenn nor Larned has played together to any extent, while their opponents on the other hand have h1d number of tight games which gave them excellent practice.
 The R. D. Wrenn-L Larned and G. l.. Wrenn- Whitman match was started at 4.15 and the youngsters at once showed that they were in the game to win. R. D. Wrenn did all he could to keep his partner, Larned, steady, but the latter kept driving into the net or out of court, so that although the match went to the veterans 1t was GA affair In the next the younger pair settled down to hard work and in almost perfect team play succeeded in pulling out the set GA
 The next went to Wrenn and Whit man, their opponents being utterly un- able to play anywhere near them. The fourth and what proved to be the final set was started just before 6 o'clock, and while Wrenn and Larned tried hard to keep up with the pace set by the youngsters they could not quite reach them and c. l.. Wrenn and Whit man took the set GA and the match.
 In the meantime Mahoney and Nes- bit had disposed of Budlong and Will liston in rather tame and uninterest- ing contest. Neither of the foreigners exerted himself Summary:
 Eastern championship doubles, semi | flnal-G. L. Wrann and Whitman de- l feated R. D. Wrenn and Larned, 46, GA, 6-2, GA.
 Mahoney and Nesbit defeated Bud long and Williston, 6-3, 6-2, 63. Tomorrow the winners of these two matches will meet in the finals and the hottest kind of contest is looked for, with the probabilities favoring the Am erican team.
