In the report of the committee of the
Synod it is stateu that the work of the
evangelists has been greatly blessed
and every department of the work shows
encouraging progress, except the finan-

Mr.. Primrose said further he believed
no church-no denomination-could hope
to prosper and receive the blessings of
God unless it fully recognized the i'm
portance of both home and foreign mis-
sions. The Presbyterian church, he said.
recognized both, but he feared that it
was not doing all it might in this d-
rection. There were many destitute
parts of our own State that should re-
ceive attention. A mans first duty-is
at home. From there the influence will
broaden. spread and multiply. Even in
this PreSbytery, he said, there was
great moral restitution and ignorance Of
the word of God. For this no church,
no individual can avoid the response
bility.
Mr.. Primrose spoke appreciatively Of
the work that is being done by the wo-
men of this and other churches, not only
their societies in contributing their means
to support the missionaries, but in going
about in the destitute portions of the
State, doing what they can to spread the
gospel and organize churches and Sun
day schools.

The funeral of one of the Oldest and best

his late residence on Anacostia Heights for

Mr.. Dodge was native of Vermont, hav-

here when fifteen years old, and resided in
the District over half century.
Previous to the war and before the estab-
lishment of railroad between Washington
and Alexandra he managed Latham's line
Of stage coaches that made sregular trips
between the two cities. At TIE commence
ment of tho rebellion he opglated an ex-
press line on his own account. He subse-
Quently entered the service and continued
in the employment of the Adams Express
Company for twenty-o4e years. For the
past twenty two years and Up to the time
of his death he was superintendent Of the

plan of construction involved parallel tun-

one another by an interval of fifty-fiye

be sixteen feet. and the height above the

rocks to be traversed are mainly gneisses,
schists and states, and through these the
engineer proposes to bore at an average
rate OF nir eteen feet per day, and more
rapidly through the rock masses of easier
penetration. So confident does he appear
to be OF the correctness Of his calculations
that 1t is claimed that in the contract
signed by his firm a clause has been in
serted to the effect that he Is willing to

He was a magnificent equestrian, and SO

BORING THROUGH THE ALPS.
A New Tunnel That Will BE Over
Twelve Miles Long.

The wonderful activity Of the engineer
ing brain is likely to see accomplished
soon the fulfillment Of a project which will
add another triumph to mans ingenuity
In overcoming the barriers which nature
has set to his march Of progress. A new
tunnel, a cut through Mt. Simplon, one OF
the mounts constituting the main mass Of
the Alps, is seemingly to be an accom-
plished fact, and a shorter and more ready
route Of communication between chief CEN
ters north and south of the Alps thereby
obtained than is furnished today either by
the Mt Gents or the st. Gothard route.
Governmental contracts have been signed
with an eminent firm of engineers, who
guarantee the completion OF the gigantic
less than 100000. The computed length
of this tunnel will be 1871 meters. or
somewhat more than II miles, thus exceed
ing the Mt. Cents tunnel by more than
four miles, and the st. Gothard by three
miles The height Of the floor at its great
est elevation will be 231b feet above sea
level; the corresponding position on the st.
Gothard II .7Ss feet and on the Mt. Gents
4,2A7 feet.
It is thus seen that the contemplated
Simplon tunnel has the advantage over the
two existing borings IN its low level and
the corresponding how grades. which win
speed. while 1t suffers from the disadvan-
tage Of q much greater length. But even
the matter Of low level II not an entirely
unalloyed advantage, inasmuch as operat-
ing at depressed point beneath tower
Ing elevation above involves factor In
work which In largely eliminated where
the actual base Of operations lies high and
only moderately removed from the crest
