JUBILEE SERTICES At EAST PEA RI
STREET M. Il. CHURCH.

To Celebrate the Freeing of the Church
Property from Debt-Fine Floral Deco
rntions To Call Pastor for Grand
Avenue Baptist Church-Funeral OF
Mrs. Thomas Stevenson-Other Items.
Jubilee services celebrating the free
ing of the church property from debt
were held in the East Pearl street M.
E. church yesterday. The services were
largely attended and the occasion was
one of great interest. The pastor, Rev.
Robert T. McNicholl and Eugene c..
Hill, one of the stewards of the church,
have prepared a history of the church
which is to be issued in book form.
Some facts cleaned from the history
are given below:
On April 3, 1888, the organization took
definite shape in the appointment by
Rev. Noah Levings of Ammi Mallory
and Ebenezer Allen as trustees to hold
property which had hitherto stood in
his name. On April 10 the lot and the
first church were conveyed to the trus-
tees and the society was organized
April %, 1888. The corner stone of the
second church edifice was laid May &c.
1885, and on May -, 1S4S, the burden
some debt was cancelled.
In May, 1870, the Rev. Albert s.
Graves started the subscription list for
anew church and in April of the follow
ing year the Rev. James NJ Buckley,
D. D., laid the corner stone. On Tues
day, May 49, 1878, Bishop Simpson dedi-
Gated the edifice exactly twenty-five
years to the day, after the debt had
been cancelled on the former edfice. In
May, 1882, subscription amounting to
$1,S60 was raised towards the purchase
of a site for parsonage. The opening
reception in the new parsonage on East
Pearl street, was given In April, 1884,
to the new pastor, Rev. Edward Cum
ningham. The following year. in April,
an effort was successfully made to re-
duce the indebtedness on the parson-
age to $4,000 In May 1887. the interior
was renovated and decorated at an ex-
penditure of over 81 ,6oO but the amount
needed was covered by subscription be-
fore the arrival of the time for reopen
ing. At a church reception in May
1891, the treasurer of the George A.
Darlington memorial sinking fund COW
ering $1,000 presented report which
showed that after ten years of effort
the Indebtedness on the church build
ing had been paid and the mortgage

Gov. Lee vetoed the Aberdeen

bills.
Perhaps it's just as well that
over one half the sessions gone,

of small consequence.

A legislative combine took in

The Red6eld institute bill
brings to mind the fact that sew
eral years ago Hand county
citizens made an effort to locate
a state institution in this county,
between Miller and St. Law
rence-an institute for feeble
minded persons. The matter
was not properly pushed, how
eyer, and Sphinx county seeing
the opportunity, went after it,
and got a location at Redheld.
Sphinx county usually picks out
some bright and experienced men
of affairs for her legislators. If
they are good ones they should
be returned, as they become more
| useful and influence with expert
ence. In fact experience makes
statesmen. Take an bright,
| we'll informed man, and send him
several times to the legislature
or congress and he becomes a
strong factor. Hand county S
voters however, seem to pick up
| men for one term only to be killed
off the next. 1t is a poor policy.
The brightest and most able men
| in the county, not a good teller
nor yet a goo-goo, but men who
have rubbed up against the
world in business and public life,
should be selected for legislative
timber. Half the men who go
to the legislature the first time
scarcely know what is gong
| on there, because the schemlng
OF public life is new to them.
And then to replace them next
time by new, inexperienced men,
leaves the legislature in the
hands of a very few bright men
of experience.

FILIPINO BATTLE.
The Philippine Battles
Show Americans
are Fighters.

Washington, Feb. II. "A cable
gram received from General Otis
at Manila this morning gives the
news OF another sharp little
brush with the insurgent forces
which the American troops had
today and in which they were
again successful in driving the
insurgents before them with con-
siderable losses. The dispatch
also gives a list of the killed and
wounded in the engagement and
is as follows:
"To the War Department,
Washington: General Near
thurs division is today holding
an advanced position to the
north of the Pasig river and are
holding the insurgents in check
on that side without any fight
ing more than an occasional ex-
change of shots between the out
posts. Yesterday the left wing
OF, his brigade, together with
Otis brigade made a partial
wheel to the right resting the
left of the brigade on Caloocan
near where the insurgents were
inconsiderable force, made
stand and another hard but
short engagement resulted. The
insurgents, however. were un-
able to face the hot fire from our
lines and were sharply driven
from their position leaving
good many dead and wounded
behind. The American loss was
much less than theirs. The list
of our casualties is as follows:

No Through iSRtes.

A, the last meeting of the Alaskan steamship Companies AssoclatiOn, held in Seattle a week ago, it was decided that none of the members of that body may quote through rates to the interior of Alaska. A resolution was passed to the effect that the limit of the jurisdiction of the companies Is Alaska coast ports, and that rates beyond Skagwav and Dyea must be quoted independently.
 This action was taken on account of the difference in methods of handling freight on the ocean steamers and down the YG- kon. On deep water vessels rates are al ways quoted on the basis Of measured tons and not by weight, except where the rev. enue would be greater on the basis of weight. Weight is the basis of all rates beyond the coast. The intention Is for all vessels to get the highest revenue. In

seattle Chamber or Commerce to
 the Rescue.

The Seattle Chamber of Commerce has taken action on the miserable postal service given by the present incumbent of the office, according to the following item taken from the P.-l. of May To;
 "The people of Skagway have reached what they consider an uncomfortable eondl' ton over their invalid postmaster, and are adopting strenu us measures to secure the appointment of a man who will attend to his business more satisfactorily than Post master Sampson. The matter has broken out in a determined declaration that the limit of patience has been passed by the citizens and that they must have relief. They, acting through their Chamber Of Commerce, have written to the Seattle Chamber Of Commerce. asking the latter body to assist them. Their letter was read at the last meeting. and in connection with statements of the disastrous conducting Of the Skagway office, was deemed of SO much importance that the secretary was instructed to write at once to the postmas- ter general to see if something could not be done to afford rellet. He was also in- structed to incorporate in his communied. tlon statements of Seattle business men that owing to poor management of the mails in the north much discomfort was experienced here,
 "The letter from Skagway was dated May Sth, and was signed by L, 5. Keller, president, and s. G. Kaufman, secretary, Of the Skagway Chamter Of Commerce.

The Sea Level mIne.

On the up trip of the steamer Farallon she called in at Thorn Arm, twenty miles from Ketehkan, at a place called Lobe City. where the Sea Level Mining and Milling Company's mine Is located. On inspection of the property the mine deyel' opment was found further advanced than had been anticipated. A shaft tortyeght feet deep has been sunk and several cross cut tunnels leading of from it have shown the ground to be quite rith. The ore runs from s2S to s3o per ton. There IS fresh water, timber, etc, in abundance and the prospects for this company are fine. The Farallon took up supplies, hoistlng appar- atus, boiler and engine, etc. The surround ing country Is rich in quartz and many prospeetors are in the neighbOrhood. Fur. ther strikes may be looked for in this vicinity.

A Prussian school inspector appeared at the office of the burgomaster of it- tie town to ask him to accompany him on tour of inspection through the schools.
 The burgomaster was out of sorts, and was heard to mutter to himself;
 "What is this donkey here again forf"
 The inspector said nothing, but wait ed his time, and with the unwilling burgomaster set out on his tour.
 At the first school he announced his wish to see how well punctuation was taught
 "oh. never mind that, grumbled the burgomaster. "We don't care for commas and such trihes. !"
 But the inspector sent boy to the blackboard and ordered him to write:
 1.-The burgomaster of R. says, the iD- spector is a donkey.
 Then he ordered him to transpose the comma, placing it after R., and to in sert another one after inspector, and the boy wrote:
 "The burgomaster of R., says the in spector, is Q donkey"
 It is probable that the refractory off. cial gained new idea of the value of "commas and such trifles. "-London Tit.Bits
