A Big Barn.

The new barn recently completed for
Col. Blees, Macon's millionaire, is one of
the most expensive buildings in north
Missouri. and undoubtedly the finest barn
in the state outside the largest cities.
More than $4,000 feet of the best lumber
that could be procured was used il its
construction. The roof required $4,000
shingles and more than $4,000 feet Of
ceiling lumber and nearly 10000 feet of
Misunderstanding were used. The inside
is finished with hard pine and is oiled and
vanished, the floor space is nearly all
covered with granitoid pavement, and
the entire building is heated with steam
and supplied with all modern convent
ences.-Kansas City Journal.

weeping women and helpless children to pray is to deceive them and is crime.
 If God is simply law. or the nature of things. prayer is foolishness. No sane man would pray to gravitation to let him fall without harm from a housetop.
 If God has created this world and then left it to itself. then prayer is useless.s
 If God is angry with us and does not care for us because we have diSobeyed Him. then prayer is a vain thing.
 If God has decided absolutely that some shall be saved and all others lost. then why should men pray whose salvation is impossible?
 But. on the other hand. prayer is nat ural to man. Our moral instincts de- mand respect.
 The nobIest and best men of our race have been men of prayer. The Bible makes prayer a duty and a privilege.
 Honest prayer will affect character. Said Thomas Fuller. Either praying will make thee leave off shining or sim ming will make thee leave off praying"
 Let remember the command to Pray without ceasing." We have done much that we ought not to have done; let us pray for forgiveness. We need so much which God alone can give. Let us ask Him. God has given us many bless ings Let us thank Him, and such thanksgiving is prayer.

DERHAM TO
 RESIGN HIS
 POSITION There May Be a Va cancy in the Board of Education. A Kick Over Committee Chairmanship Is
 the Cause. President Barrington's Recent AppOrtiOnment Ends
 in Trouble. HARMONY NOT POSSIBLE. Superintendent Webster Has tine Naming of the Successor of
 the Director.
HARMONY NOT POSSIBLE.
Superintendent Webster Has tine Naming of the Successor of
 the Director.

Trouble has begun in the Board of Education over the apportionment of l committees that was made by Presi- dent Harrington on Monday evening last.
 Director Derham is the principal ob- jector, and his kick is occasioned by the l fact that he lost the chairmanship of the Elementary committee one of the most important in the gift of the presi- dent.
 The change was made, according to President Harrington, who is admitted by all to be the fairest presiding officer that the board has had for several years, because many complaints had been received that the communications that are addressed to the committee were not given proper consideration and were allowed to remain in the pos session of the chairman when they should have been submitted to his con- frereS.
 Shortly after the meeting on Monday night last, when Director Derham was given the Health and Hygiene commit tee and relieved from the chairmanship of the Elementary committee. he tele- phoned to Secretary Welch and stated that he desired to resign from all committees, not only as chairman, but as even a member.
 At the same time he intimated that he did not intend to stay long on the board and that he desired to be re- lieved of all responsibility. Such threats have been made by School Directors before, and very little attention was paid to the matter. Since that com munication was received it has de- veloped that Director Derham is sin cere in his intentions of getting out.
 He believes that he has not been fair ly treated, in spite of the fight he has made against the majority and control ling element in the board, and that he should have been retained as chairman of the Elementary committee in spite of all that has happened. Should his Superintendent Webster will have the naming of his successor, subject to the confirmation of the board.
 Director Derham telephoned to As- sistant Secretary O'Donnell a few days ago." said Secretary Welch last even ing, and requested him to see that his name was kept out of the printed list of committees. He gave no particular reason, but 1t is pretty we'll understood the elementary committee is responsible for his desire to resign"
 Dr. Ragan had heard that Director Derham was anxious to get out of all committee work because he thought he had been unfairly treated in the dis tribution of committee chairmanships.
 Secretary Welch has ignored Mr. Derham's request to be left off all committees, believing that he has no more right to leave his name off than to put it on. If the Director wishes to resign he must do so at a regular meet ing of the board and. by offering his resignation to the board.

enjoyment is doubled. Yesterday President Shannon was in the field during most of the day, but he re- ceived a great disappointment when his fleet hound Swinnerton lost the course to Joy Bells in the third ties.
 Lawyers and business men helped swell the crowd, which stayed on the grounds until after the final had been won and lost. T. Lennon was in evI- dence, and the way he placed his money on the dogs proved him to be one of the talent. George Malcolm was surrounded by a throng of ad- mirers as he won bet after bet, but it is thought he went against it" when Sylvia beat Valley Maid in the fourth ties.
 Pat Malloye, who won his course up to the third. is thought to be one of the best that started yesterday. It is said that no dog that ever ran a hare can show the way for the first turn. The stake yesterday was for beaten dogs who have not won first, second or third money for the past six months. The best courses of the day were in the second ties between Pat Malloye and Gillette, Sylvia and Magic and Swim merton and Lightning. A barrel of money changed hands when Sylvia beat Pat Malloye, as it was the general opinion that the result would be just the reverse.

 It was noticed that none of Curtis & Sons dogs started among the non winners yesterday, which goes to show what an excellent string they are in possession of.
 Here is how the judge decided:
 Henry Springs Pat Malloye beat P. Me Laughlin's Lady Penn, 6-4; w: Shield S Gillette beat Gibson & Sater's Molly Bawn, 10-5; Kay & Trant's Sylvia beat J. McCormick's White Lily, 4-2; E. c.

HIS MEMORY HONORED.
Tbe RemuiDs of florio AntoDovicb Borne to Their Last Rest
 ina Place.

One of the largest funerals that has passed through the streets of San Francisco for some time was that of Florio Antonovich, the well-known and popular founder of the Austrian Milf tary and Benevolent Association and Slavonic Illyric Benevolent Society
 Honest Antone,' as he was familiar ly termed by the thousands who knew him for the past forty years on the city front, was followed to Calvary Cemetery by hundreds of mourners who turned out to pay their last re- spects to his memory. The Austrian military band, with the members of the company, in their gray uniforms, was there, as was also the members of the Illyric civic society, besides hun dreds of other citizens.
 Antonovich arrived in San Francisco in 1851, being one of the crew of the ship Flying Cloud that made that re- markable voyage from New York to San Francisco in eighty eight days. Arriving in this city he opened a res taurant on the city front, which he conducted for forty year c while at the same time he invested iIl mining stock and accumulated considerable property. During all of his many years in this city his greatest pride was in being an American citizen.
 His remains were taken to St. Fran cis' Church where religious services were held by Father Giles prior to those afterward held by the Illyric Society at the grave, where A. Maluvich, the sec retary, spoke of the. life of the de- ceased.
 The following were the pallbearers:
 A. Smythe, M. Comaich. c. Vitvich, M. Cresalia, Captain V. Zuper. J. Tod ish, R. Maroevich. Luke Marich, G. Franciscovich and V. Bakulich.

FEAST OF THE EPIPHANY.
At St. IgDotius Church Lost Even ipq Father Hickey Delivered
 an lnterestinq Address.

At St. Ignatius Church last evening Father Hickey spoke of the feast of the Epiphany. Where is he that was born King of the Jews?" were his first words, and he followed on the birth of Christ and the guiding star which had been seen, and satisfied those who were in search of the Savior.
 The story was again told of the son of Mary, who had died to save sinners. and the teachings which have followed his ascent into heaven. Then death was spoken of and the hope of life where his teachings were needed. Be- ing the first Sunday following the Epi- phany, as well as the closing of the holidays, special music had been pre- pared.

The course between Tessie Fair and Mountain Lassie was easily won by the former, but the winner was slight ly favored by the hare, which seemed to turn under the hounds feet. Most of the owners who started their hounds yesterday were present, and the talk of the great improvement of the methods of coursing, as well as changes for the better in the way of conveniences for the public and the general management, could be heard on all sides. In fact, it is acknowl- edged that coursing is the favorite sport of the day. good percentage of the hares managed to find the es-

A Hot Time Promised in Native Sons Hall for Those Who Like

 The California Commercial Travellers Association, of whom James R. T. Mer- shon is president, is composed of about one hundred and twenty-five members taken from the Pacific Coast Travel CTS and the San Francisco Travellers, Association. All the members are local men running out of San Francisco.

ceived today Gen. Skaters permission
to return to Santiago. The starving
crowds Of women and children, ignor-
ant of the conditions prevailing at
Santiago, discussed the advsabllity Of
returning and whether they would find
food there.
AT 9 o'clock in the morning the most
venturesome had started on the four
mile walk to the city, and all day long
a procession Of gaunt women and
emaciated children struggled forward.
Two weeks Of suffering in the over
crowded and filthy town of Ell Caney
had worked sad changes In the appear
ance Of the refugees.
AS the news came up the road that
Santiago could actually be entered the
crowds took new heart tic push ahead.
The American soldiers stood by the
roadside watching the procession. The
rain that came on early In the after
noon was mercifully of short duration.
Women Of evident refinement and
good family struggled on on foot A
small proportion of the refugees re-
turned today.

days ago there was a suff1ciency Of

arising from lack Of food. There is no

VISIONS OF THE PAST.
But here and there through the open
doors of more pretentious dwellings one
meets with the vision Of an open court
filled with palms, brilliant-hued pouchi-
amos and other Towering trees and
plants. 1t is like brief glimpses of a
happy past, long gone.
There is no sewage system. The city
drainage is all from the surface, into
the harbor, and the lower part Of the
city, through which much Of the drain
age runs, especially from the poor
quarter around the bull rings to the
northwest of the city, Is the seeding
center of malaria, typhoid and other
low fevers.
There are four hospitals, in which are
l,47S patients, a comparatively small
number considering the lack Of food
and long siege, but it must be remem-
bered that the reconcentrados were
never admitted to the hospitals, and
when the notifications Of the proposed
bombardment by our batteries were re-
ceived, every patient who could stag
ger out was driven into the streets.
Twenty lepers, who were in the civil
hospital, were turned into the streets,
and they have been roaming there ever
since.
