The first visitor to confer with the Presi-

New York. The senator during the morn

said that he had come over merely to see
about some promotions. While this was
undoubtedly the official purpose of the SEN
ator's visit, he, of course, told the Presi-
dent about the republican outlook in New
York.
Senator Platt smiled blandly when asked
by Star reporter if the President was
going to make some speeches In New York

Then followed a very interesting exposi-
ton of views that were refreshing in their
independence. The question brought up
was the action of the house of bishops in
refusing to recede from its action giving
constitutional right to vote in the house of
deputies to representatives of missionary
districts and to give representatives of con-
vocatiOns of churches in Europe seats, but
no votes.
Mr.. Francis Lynde Stetson said it had
been the habit of all the speakers who had
occupied the platform before him to express
their great respect for the house of bishops
and he wished to emphasize his feeling in
the same direction. The time had come
however, when the highest privilege of the
house of deputies had been infringed upon
by the house of bishops. The house of dep
utes. said Mr.. Stetson. had passed rather
hurriedly an amendment to the constitution
affecting the right 20 vote in the BODY
On reflection the deputies had asked for
reconsideration of the amendment but the
bishops had refused. Mr.. Stetson said this
action virtually took the constitution as it
related solely to the house of deputies out
of its control and subjected it to the will
of the house of bishops. He insisted the
house of deputies would adhere to it's own
conclusions and let it be understood that
its constitution should not be altered with
out its consent

FOR LITTLE FOLKS.
An Old Sun Dial.

An interesting story is told of an old sundial in Pennsylvania which is worth repeating. In the first part of the last century an honest Irish enigrant named Porter settled near Philadelphia. Among his sons was one named Andrew, whom he tried to make into farmer and then. like his brothers, carpenter. But An. drew would havo nothing to do with the blow or the plane. He hid in corners, boring over some mathematical books that had come into his possession.
 One day he found the design of a sun dial ill one of them and resolved to make one. He walked eight miles to a soapstone quarry, found slab and car ried it home on his back. Full of zeal, he went to his brothers shop and used their saws and chisels in his work. When they came homo in the evening, the dial was finished, Andrew was tri- umphant but every tool in the shop was nearly or quite rpined, They drove him into tho street in fury of anger and contempt
  was an idlo good for nothing, who would never fully earn his bread, bade him go and fit himself for schoelteaeh- ing, that he called the "lazy man s work J
 Andrew gave himself to hard study for the summer and then went to the astronomer David Rittenheuse and asked him to lend him book on comic sec, tions.
 q How long have you studied mathe- maties?' demanded the great man.
 Three months J
 And what do you know of comic sec- tions?" Rittenherse rejoined, with whitening contempt
 But after asking the boy few ques- ti9ns he not only lent him the book, but advised him not to waste his time in the country, but to go to Philadelphia and open a mathematical school
 This poor farm boy was afterward General Andrew Porter, an officer in the war of the revolution and an au- thority on mathematical science in the young republic.
 There are plenty of farm boys now who dislike farm work. It wouldn t be wise to infer that because of this indo. lent disposition they are Andrew Porters in embryo. An easy basis for judgment is to note the use they make of their idle time. Do they give it to comic sec tions or to baseball?-Youth's s Compan. ion.

 There should be no deadheads in the A. O. U. W. It is the duty of every member to do his full share toward strengthening and building up the order. No brother has right to bo dead weight upon his lodge and still secure equal benefits with those who interest themselves in the welfare of this fraternity, attend it's meetings and labor for it's advaneement.-J. T. Smith, c. M. w., South Dakota.
 There are 24,00O members in 453 lodges in Missouri.
 The age limit being fixed at 45 years bars men over that age from admission. It can readily be seen that the A. o. U. ". is young mans S order, as none other can gain membership therein.
 Once the greatest missions of the order of United Workmen is to care for the wid- ows and orphans of it's deceased members Nowhere in the United States or in Cam ada are thero to Do found records of any of the families of United Workmen being compelled to seek home at the poorhouse
 The fraternity has already paid out over S8O, GOO, GOO for the relief of widows and orphans.
