Tabernacle Dedication.


Union Tabernacle, at Summer6eld,
Grant parish, La, was appropriate
ly dedicated in solemn ceremony,
in the presence of several hundred
spectators.
The Tabernacle is square, 6Ox6C
feet, with seating capacity for 72C
persons, seats and stand of dressed
lumber, the latter being tastefully
decorated for the dedication.
The ceremonies began at 1890
a. m. with selections of sacred
song, Miss Emma Ethridgs lead
ing on the handsome new organ,
assisted by choir of twelve or if
teen young ladies and gentlemen,
who acquitted themselves with
creditable skill in the selections
rendered.
Rev. j. p. Patten read as q scrip
ture lesson the beautiful prayer of
Solomon at the dedication of the
Temple, and lead in an earnest and
eloquent prayer.
The dedication sermon was
preached by Rev. H. NJ. Raglan,
who read the 15Oth Psalm, and
after prayer by Rev. w. Guise,
sang as solo and prelude to his
remarks, "Blow Ye the Trumpet,
Blow" taking as the basis of his
sermon Rev. 14:l2. and Philippians
1:15 Text-"Some indeed preach
Christ even of envy and strife; and
some also of good will" Mr.. Ra-
gan's discourse was mastery and
eloquent plea in behalf of the uni
versal brotherhood of Christians;
and, while he recognized the inn
portance and necessity of the diff
ferent sects, he still contended
that in preserving their distinct or
CARNATIONS, there was no need or
room for selfishness and bigotry in
the hearts of true Christians.
The vast audience gave marked
attention and preserved splendid
order during the sermon. After q
song by the choir, Mr.. w. H.
Westburry formally presented the
for dedication, the en-
hire congregation standing. Mr..
Raglan solmenly invoked the ac-
,eptance and blessings of Almighty
God upon the building presented.
On behalf of the trustees of the
Tabernacle Mr.. Raglan stated that
he building is to be held open and
tree for the use of all evangelical
denominations, and any and all
minister's of the gospel who have
Message of love and promise from
he Savior of mankind are invited

'harity and fraternity may abound
ret more and more" Benediction

BAITED FOR GUDGEONS.

There is richer mine in the credulity of the multitude than the luckiest prospector in the North west Territory will find. And there are hundreds of shrewd spec ulators who are already preparing to "work the lead" It IS only requisite to estimate the amount of money that is being expended by people who imagine that the Klon- dpke gamble is a better investment than 8 flyer in a bucket shop or a plunge on the race track, to con- firm the old saying that all the fools are not yet dead. Not all of this money is wasted on "outfts" and transportation to the gold fields; most of it is flowing like a Pactolian tributary of the Yukon into bank accounts of promoters" " t'syndicates," agents" and "pools. '" It is but fair to warn those who are on the verge of beguilement that the chances of return of this bread cast upon the waters of the KIondyke are as slender as the hope of profit from the result of a transaction in gold bricks.

THE YAQUI GGLDFIELDS.
the Attention of Arizona
 PrOspectOrS.

The recent rich discoveries of placer gold in the Yaqui country, Sonora, Mex, has aroused ar excitement throughout the Southwest that prom ises to eclipse the rush to Klondyke, at least for the next six months to come. It has been only few months since the treaty between the Mexican government and the Yaqui tribe was ratified, prior to which date it was dangerous, and courting death, to attempt to renetrate that Territory. Now, however, by reason of the peace concluded, the relations existing be- tween the Mexicans and their warlike wards is of the most cordial character.
 The Yaquis are peaceable and offer no resistance to immigrants and to the exploration of their Territory, and there will doubtless be rush to that section of Sonora during tue coming fall and winter months.
 It is alleged that rich placers were found on the Batepito river, tributary to the Yaqui river, from which four California prospectors took out, since the treaty was signed, $14O,OOO in gold. The country is somewhat diff fcult of access by the mountain route, but can easily be reached from the coast by going up the Yaqui and Batepito rivers by boat.
 A company has placed dredging boat on the Yaqui river at San Antonio de la Huerta, but operations are delay ed by high water in the river. As soon as the water subsidies work will be prosecuted with vigor. Rich gold and copper lodges are reported dis covered in the Ajo mountains, in Sonora, 120 miles from Bisbee.
 Opposed to the optimistic reports of gold discoveries in the Yaqui country is the opinion of men who claim to have some knowledge of the Yaqiiis and their country, and who declare they are the best placer miners in the world; and that the rich diggin IS Of the YaQni river and its tributaries must have long since been discovered and worked by them. At an rate the Yaqni country is not SD distant or inaccessible but that prospectors from Arizona can explore it without serious difficulty and at moderate cost, and with a fair chance Of getting back to Gods country should they fail to strike it rich. There are no great hordships to contend with such as confront the prospectors in Alaska :; the summer climate is very warm, but in another month the heat will have ahated so that the traveller will suffer no inconvenience on that score.
 Prospectors can go by water from Yuma to within thirty five miles of the rich diggins on the Yaqui river, and carry provisions enough for a six months trip at very small outlay.

BEST FRUIT TREES FOR SHADE.

The denizens of towns find the pear one of the most satisfactory fruit trees for shade. It is deep roofing and many other things may be successfully grown right up to their trunks. Insects trouble them little. They grow rather fast, but it is many years before they get an objectionably large size. The apple makes a spread ing head, and there IS soon shade under it's branches, and besides, the beauty of it's Blossoms in spring makes the tree appreciated fully equal to a mere ornamental one. It Is not a very serious robber of the soil. The cherry makes a desirable shade, but birds make too free with the fruit, and there is the temptation to break branches. The sour or pie cherries are, however, not reIished by birds. European walnut trees grow rather slowly. It is usually ten years before they produce nuts in any quantity, but after this they are regarded as treasures with which their owners would not willingly part. For utility and grateful shade combined few trees can rival them.-THoMAs MEEHAN in September Ladies Home Journal.

THE Klondyke gold craze will now give the modern up-to-date mushroom speculator a chance to take in the unwary tenderfcot with promises of "deveIoping' the Klon- dyke region. During the next few months numberless speculative enterprises will doubtless spring up, with little, if any, capital and no responsible backing, solely for this purpose and with the excite ment at it's present fever neat a rich harvest will doubtless be the result.
