The Gifts Were Handsome and Many.

so Gold Dollars Placed on Table
by the Bishop-Kept ssOpen
House'' From Till II D. m.
For twenty years Bishop and Mrs.
Rondthaler have labored and toiled in
the service of the Moravian congrega-
tion in Salem. The work has grown
| and prospered during these years, so
that now very large number OF per-
sons are connected with this coDgre-
CATION. The membership has so
greatly increased that seven or eight
chapels have been built, and at pres
ent four ministers have the wide field
Of labor ia charge.
Mrs. RondthaIer reached the f1ftieth
milestone on her life journey yester-
day, and her host Of friends celebrated
the event in very hearty and appro
pirate manner.
The Bishop placed gold dollar on
the table for each milestone on the
life journey. Friends from at Eome
aud abroad united to fill the gift table
to OVERLOOKING. Here we noted a
beautiful piece of China painting;
there handsome picture, book, or
a piece OF silver ware; while covering
the entire piano top was costly set
OF Havelin China ware, one of the
handsomesG sets ever brought to our
town. Thus amid the beauty and
fragrance of fresh cut flowers were ar
ranged the very large collection of
gifts.
Mrs. Rondthaler kept "open house"
from till IL p. m. Rather we should
say that committee of ladies from
our towns took possession of the home
and kept "open house" for her. Dur
ing this time friends came and went,
scores, even hundreds, for the old
congregations, about 1,500 persons
connected with it. We may add that
scorces of other friends Joined the men,
to congratulate the lady on the special
celebration of the day.
A number of ladies assisted Mrs
ROndthaler in receiving and still
others served the visitors with re-
freshments. All who called were
made happy blythe cordiality Of the re-
ception, and brought happiness with
them to Mrs. Rondthaler and the
other member of the family.
Miss Alice Rondthaler returned
from New York the evening previous
to take part in the reception.
An occasion of this kind certainly
brings happiness to the recipient of
the gifts and cOurtesies, but 1t is also
retroactive, affording as much pleas
ure to those who give as to those who
receive. The celebration: of FRI
days festivities will bind DIR. and
Mrs. Rondthaler even closer to their
congregation than in the past.

THE NEW CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
PRICE 5 CENT
1t Will Be Handsome Structure-A
DISSOLUTION.

1t VIII BE Handsome Structure-A
Description.
In the plans for the Fourth Street
Christian Church, Architect Frank 2.
Milburn,of Charlotte, has shown him
self equally as skillful as in court
houses and other public buildings.
You are at once struck with the
beauty and symmetry Of the outward
appearance. Viewing the plans from
what will be the northwest corner,
you notice the tower fifteen feet
square with four gables and doors on
the north and west sides.
Fronting Fourth street there Is a
large gable making out from the main
roof which presents side view.
To the east OF this you see the front
or the ladies room with door and win
dow. A large window ornaments the
centre Of the front view.
The west side reproduces the front
view with slight variations. Back of
the tower comes d gable making out
from the main roof, with large win
dow and smaller ones on each side
Back OF this comes the side door en-
trance to the auditorium. then the
chapel, or Sunday school room with
has been in use several years.
The new building is to be Of brick
with slate roof and trimmings OF stone
and galvanized iron.
AS you study the interior you are
struck with its utility as we'll as it's
beauty. Every foot OF space is used
TO the best advantage. The tower en-
trance makes a very convenient vesti-
bule with two inside doors.
The auditorium is about thirty by
forty feet with an elevation of twenty
to twenty-five feet. The pulpit is To-
Gated on the east side with baptistery
and choir In the rear ladies' room on
the left and study on the right With
circular seats and elevated floor all
can see and hear TO the best advan-
tage.
On the south side lage sliding doors
separate the auditorium and the Sun
day school chapel, which is 2SX30 feet,
with Is feet elevation With these
doors thrown open the two rooms can
be used as one for large gatherings,
all being in good view and hearing OF
the speaker. The total seating capa-
city is between four and five hun
dred.
This will be creditable addition to
the church accommodations OF the
Twin-City and church home in
which the Christians and their many
friends here and elsewhere may feel a
just pride.
Building will begin within a few
days and progress as rapidly as possi-
BILE.

W.-Other Cases.
The Supreme Court handed down
opinions in number of cases yester-
day afternoon, three OF them being
from Forsyth.
The suit brought against the n. s.
w. railroad by Gid Hampton was
affirmed. The lower court gave the
plaintiff ST., 900 and the decision OF the
higher Court means that the road will
have to pay him that amount.
The case of A. b. Gorrell VS.. j. w.
Alspaugh was also affirmed. This
suit was brought by the judgment
creditors of Col. Alspaugh to pay their
judgments, they alleging that the
transaction between the defendant
and Mr.. L [. Hine was fraudulent in
law. The latter loaned the Colonel
money to build the storehouse now oc-
cupied by Hine & Shipley. Before his
failure Col. Alspaugh made Mr.. Hine
deed to the property. The Supreme
Court says Mr.. Hine can hold the
building.

HIS FIRST SICKNESS.
Mr.. Caleb Peeler Who Is In Hi.
S3rd Year.

Mr.. Caleb Peeler Who is In His
S3rd Year.
THE SENTINEL regrets to learn Of
the critical illness of Mr.. Caleb Peeler,
who lives near Midway, Davidson
county. He is father of Mrs. W. A.
Lutz, of this city, and is now in his
SD year.
Mr.. Peeler fell one day last week
and the physician thinks he fractured
or dislocated his hip. No hope is en-
tertained for his recovery. He is help
less and unable to talk. The physi-
clan says that he will be paralyZed If
he lives many days.
Mr.. Peeler has been married 81
years and his good wife Is more than
80 years old. The aged couple have
lived happily together for 81 years at
the same place, which was the home
Of Mrs. Peeler's parents. She was
born and raised there
Strange to say, this Is the first time
the family have ever seen Mr.. Peeler
confined to his bed on account of sick
NESS.

HoOdOoed His Lawyer.
Fayetteville Observer.

Fayetteville Observer.
A few days ago a certain promi-
nent lawyer of this county was rising
to make a speech before a magistrate
in behalf of a negro client when the
latter stopped him and calling him
aside forced something into his
pocket. The lawyer, thinking prob
ably that it was roll of bills,
smiled and went on with his speech,
making such powerful plea that his
client was acquitted easily. Then
the lawyer gleetully felt in his pocket
for the roll of bank notes, but when
he pulled out a hind foot his wrath
broke forth and the only thing that
saved his client was fear of being
fined for contempt of court.
The negro was, like most of his
race, superstitious, and had hoo
doOed his attorney.

The Issue.

Philadelphia Inquirer.
The crescent banner is aloft. The
old cry is raised: ''There is no Allah,
but Allah, and Mahomet is bis
prophet" Yesterday most of the
civilized world declared with hosan-
mas that there was no God but God,
and Jesus, His son, is the Redeemer
of the world. This represents the
issues lying at the bottom of this
contest. Mahomet stands for rapine,
murder, and the lowest barbarism.
Jesus stands for the gospel of love
and charity to all men. 1t is the
seventh century against the dawning
twentieth. The sword against peace;
sensuality versus morality. The
guibbles of the powere are himsy.
The issue is on and it must be
sQuarely met.

Received His Appointment.

Mr.. Thomas Linville last Saturday
received regular appointment as
Railway Postal Clerk. His run will
be between Washington and Char
lotte. He will go on in few days.
Postmaster Wilson said today that
while he regretted to lose Tom in the
postoffice, he was glad TO see him get
a better place. He made most eff
cient Clerk in the office and Postal
Clerk Lee predicts that Tom will be
postoffice inspector in less than five
years. He is today one of the best
Postal Clerks in the service.
Lee Lambe will be Toms successor
in the postoffice. He too, is efficient
and accommodating.

No Mercy to Be Shown.

At the opening of the Federal Court
at Statesville Tuesday, District At
torney Glenn arose and said that he
had instructions from the Attorney
General of the United States to COM
promise no case before the court and
to pray judgment in all cases of con-
viction. This new instruction seems
to mean that under the new adminis-
tration moonshiners and other United
States defendants are to be dealt with
with mailed hand.

The man who eats because he is hungry
is, thus far, on a level with the brutes. The
ger is appeased is the wise man. Nature
needs no more food than she calls for.
Continued excess brings about indigestion
or dyspepsia, with loss of flesh, strength,
sleep, ambition and mental power, and an
accumulation of aches, pains and many
dangerous local maladies.
The stomach now can do nothing alone.
We must appeal to some artiicial1y digested
food which can also digest other foods.
That is to say, we must use the Shaker Di-
gestive Cordial. The effect is prompt and
cheering. The chronic pain and distress
ceases Appetite presently revives, Flesh
and yigor gradually comes back, and the
sufferer RECEIVERS. But he must be careful
in future. A trial bottle for 10 cents.

| ELLAsoNA, April 24.-After two
days fighting, the Greeks have been
routed from their strong position at
| Matt. AS a result, the entire Greek
forces have Withdrawn from Turnavo
and Larissa to Pharsala, twenty five
miles south of Larissa.
INsURRECTIoN AT ALBANIA.
ROME, April 24.-An insurrection
has broken out at Albania and
Turkish troops are said to he par
ticipating in the revolt.
A large proportion of the Albanian
population claims membership in the
Greek church and the same is true of
the troops of Macedonia, which are
declaring for Greece and the cross.
1t is impossible to over estimate
the Importance of this revolt. 1t
foretells the crushing of Edham Pasha
and his army unless re inforcements
can reach him quickly.
With the capture of Salonica and a
general revolt in Macedonia, Albania,
and Espirus, together with the mag
nificient work of the Greek army
near Larissa, the Crescent begins to
fade away across the Bosphorous.
RUMoRED DEATH OF EDHAM PASTA.
ATHENS, April 24.-It is rumored
here that Ethan Pasha, commander
in chief of the Turkish army on the
frontier, died from the effects OF
wound. The report is regarded as
untrue.

NORTH CAROLINA TAXES.
An Important Decision of the Su-
preme Court.

The Supreme Court last evening
filed a very important opinion in
novel case. The Constitution requires
that the poll-tax shall be thrice that
OF the property-taX, but by careless
ness, the late Legislature made the
rate OF poll-tax Sl.29, and property tax
As cents. The Governor sought to
compel the Auditor to make the poll
tax 81. 50, which was the legislative in
tent. The Supreme Court besides that
both the poll-tax and general-tax Sec
tions of the revenue act are unconsti-
tutional and void, thus leaving in ef-
feet the revenue act OF 1895, which
makes the poll-tax 81 % and general
tax 43 cents. The decision reduces the
school-taX from 20 to Is cents. Justi-
ces Clark and Douglas dissent.
