Our New Methodist Church.

In letter received BY DR.. Leech
from a Bishop Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, who has twice
presided over annual conferences
in Morgantown, the distinguished
Bishop says:
Gas to the new church, go slow.
Take world of time to study your
plans. After you think you have
got just what you want then wait a
month. Then study the plans again.
Do not believe more than half of
what some of the architects tell you.
We ought to have stone church at
Morgantown. A good combination
is the gray sandstone for the first
story and then the yellow GAINESVILLE
brick. There is an excellent model
at GAINESVILLE, Ohio. Do not let anv
architect put on towers so that the
snow will bank up and give you a
leaky roof. Most architects have
no sense at all in this regard"

FROM THIS COUNTY.
A Wall for Seeds Winds up at Charles
ton Had been sent to ssDatOn"-A
special from Charleston.

Special from charleston.
A special from Charleston gives
this story:
Senator Dotson received letter
yesterday in which he was addressed
as Congressman The handwriting
showed the writer to be rather illit-
crate and therefore he was thought
to be excusable for making the mis-
take, especially by Senator Dotson
who thought the writer had not
made so much of a mistake any way.
The letter was from a man in Mon
ongalia county asking for seeds.
What kind of seeds he did not say;
any old kind would do, but he
wanted few flower seeds thrown in
for his wife. The Senator was rath
er inclined to buy some seeds
and send them to his unknown
friend who called him congressman,
but on taking a second glance at
the envelope noticed that instead of
Congressman Dotson' it was adj
dressed to Congressman Daton."
1t is hard to say which will suffer
the greater disappointment, the wri-
ter at the failure TO receive his seeds
or Senator Dotson over the discovery
that he is not a congressman.

last year but who had not returned
this session. The other was Senior
w. G. Clemens.
The weather kept great many
people away but the attendance was
very good in spite of it. Dr. Ray
mond presided and introduced the
speakers. He made few remarks

in whose memory it was being held.
Nearer My God to Thee, was sung

duced. Prof. Wiley spoke of the
high merit of Mr.. Clemens and of
his rank as a student. j. g. Law
represented the Senior law class and
alluded feelingly to the personal
friendship he had for the deceased.
w. w. Hughes spoke for the Colum-
bian Literary Society of which Mr..
Clemens was the president at
the time of his death.
James w. Horn of tire regular
Senior law class followed in very
lender address. Prof. Armstrong s
paper was considered by many to
have been the finest thing Of the af-

Mr.. Clemens He spoke of the
Memorial services which had been
held for others who had lain down

sing the congregation was dis
missed
This was the second Memorial
service to be held this year and the
year had witnessed the death of the
greatest number of students ever
known in the history of the institu-
ton. Formerly there has hardly
been death but this session several
have been called to their reward.
The increase in the number of stu
dents enrolled probably has great
deal to do with this.

PREP-IRIN THE SHAMROCK,
A StriCteT Watch Than Ever Being Kept
 Over the Yacht.

New York, Aug. 24.-Very little was
 done to-day towards equipping the Shamrock for the 'tuning-up'' trips
 which she is soon to make down the
 bay, Foreman William Crawford and David Fife of Flies yard at Fairlie, who arrived by the Aurania yesterday superintended the work of adjusting the step for the yachts racing mast A stricter watch than ever is being kept on the dock where the Shamrock lies No person not connected with the yacht Is allowed to pass down the pier unless furnished with pass from David Bar rie, Sir Thomas Liptons representative. The fact that some large pieces of can- vas, such as draped the Shamrocks hull when she was docked, prior to leaving Southampton for the north, had been seen led to the rumor that the yacht was to be draped when she was docked. At the Erie basin dry-dock the rumor is discredited for the reason that such a proceeding would not only cause no end of unfavorable criticism, but the canvas would interfere with the work of the men employed to clean the yachts underbody. It was understood tonight that the Shamrock's racing mast will be stepped tomorrow. The Erin remains at her anchorage off Tonrpkinsville.

SAN DOMINGO REVOL UTTON.
Rapidly Advnncing-Comp Success
 Seems Assured MacOris Taken.

Puerto Plata, Santo Doingo, via Cape Haytien, Aug. 24.--Generals Caceres Vasquez and Brache at the head of 800 revolutionists appeared before Macoris They left the great body of their troops at the entrance to the city and with twenty men advanced to the gov ernor's house, demanding surrender. Governor Castillo, thoroughly cowed repaired to the plaza, without making any resistance, and the delivery of the park, fort, arsenal and government buildings was then effected The revo- lutonists then formally occupied the surrounding country, meeting with no opposition. In this way the revolution, strong and humane, is rapidly advanc- ing, avoiding so far as possible the shedding of blood and winning sympa- thy by the peaceful character of it's methods. The complete victory of the cause of Jiminez seems assured There is no check on the eastern boundary. Little is known as to what is going on at Monte Christi, though the govern ment troops are still there as well as General Peppin.

LOTB EFT ON THE FRENCH TROUBLES  Impressed That They Are Nearing an
 End-The Renmes COurtmarttnl.

Ramboullet, France, Aug. 24.-Reply- ing to an address of sympathy from the president of the members of the district council, President Loubet to-day ex- pressed his gratitude at being able to appear at Rambouillet, in spite of the cares of office, to which the speaker had referred. These cares, he added, were real ones, and it was not without deep grief that he beheld disturbance of public mind leading to disorders. These should not be exaggerated, however, and the public should not lose heart. Continuing President Loubet said: q, indeed, am profoundly convinced that the troubles of the country are nearing the end. The measures adopted by the government bear witness to the fact that it is firmly resolved to defend the republic, preserve public peace and as sure respect for the law The whole country should bow to the verdict of the Rennes courtmartial, which can be re- lied upon for absolute impartiality, and the representatives of the people will CO., operate in the word of reconciliation and pacificatio which is necessary for the highest interests of France"

TO BUY FALL RITER MILLS.
Offer Made for All the Print Cloth and
 Cotton Bale Shops.

New York Aug 24.-At the office of Barrow, Wade, Guthrie & Co.,, yester day, (Thursday), it was stated that it was fact that that concern hau Of fered to purchase all the print cloth and cotton bale mills of Fall River, as had been reported. Our offer" said one of the firm, was for the entire D. 235912 spindles of the various mills, and though I am not at liberty to give the particulars, I will say that they are in excess of $20000, ,000. We represent both American and English capital and we have strong hopes that our offer will be accepted. As for the readiness of capital to invest, I may say that in this country alone we have been offered more than four times the amount nec- essary. The idea of the purchase is consolidation. That will mean a con- siderable reduction in the working ex- penses, As for the effect on prices, I think the consolidation, if it comes about, will be rather to lower than to increase them. We put through the Fall River, Taunton and New Bedford wooen mills consultations, and that is one reason why we have been asked to negotiate the present deal. All told there will be about thirty mills com- bined if the project be successful"

DLOCK1 OF THE PHLLIPPINES.
War Department Considering Matter
 Obstac.Cs in the Way.

ODStECECs III thc SsUy.
 Washington Aug. 24.-The establish ment of a blockade of the ports of the Philippine islands, and especially of Luzon, is subject which is receiving attention at the war department, all though Secretary Root has as yet not sufficient information to warrant defin ite action in the matter. The secretary says that he believes in taking advan- tage of everything necessary to make campaign successful and that war can not be made without causing distress.
 At the same time he thinks an abso- lute blockade may do more injury just now than good. He considers that 1t would be serious hardship upon. peaceful community to shut it off from means of subsistence because port which supplies it is in the hands of marauders. Another matter that has to be considered is the fact that the merchants and business men in Manila would be seriously crippled and it might cause a great deal of dissatis- faction should rigid blockade be maintained at the present time. The probabilities are, however, that when the fall campaign begins there will be an effectual blockade maintained and that commerce between the towns with in the Ameican lines and the country in the control of the insurgents will be stopped. Meanwhile all precautions necessary will be taken to prevent arms and ammunition from being supplied to the insurgents.

CRUELTY IN 4 COUNTY HOME.
of Charges Against Supt
 Adams of Hartford.

Warehouse Point, Aug. 24.--Th, county commissioners and the board O. management of the County Temporary Home for Dependent Children held an other hearing to-day on the charges o1 penury, cruelty and immoral conduc, on the part of Superintendent A. H Adams, and after listening to testimony for several hours another adjournment
 was taken until Tuesday next, when il
 is probable that the hearing will be
 continued in Hartford. Superintendent Adams was the last witness of the day and his cross-eXamination was not con- cluded when an adjournment was taken at 4;45 o'clock. MT. Adams denied the various charges that witnesses had tes- tited to, although admitting that he had punished the children mentioned by the witnesses, though not in the cruel man her alleged.
 The most sensational testimony at to- days hearing was that given in execu- tive session by Mary Staningber, aged fifteen years, a former inmate of the home, who testified that MT. Adams had taken immodest measurements of her. MT. Adams in his testimony claimed that he only measured the girls hsight and waist at her request.
 The first witness at this afternoon S session was George w. Morrell, a far mer and ice dealer. He testified that one day, about six or seven weeks ago, while delivering ice at the home one of the small children took a small piece of ice out of the cart and then sat down on bench. MT. Adams came along and hit the child on the side of the head, knocking him down and the child's head struck the bench with force. MT. Adams then picked the child up and placed him on the bench rough ly and knocked him down again. He did this three times, the witness said, the child crying all the time piteously Witness told his partner of the occur renee and said that Adams ought to be prosecuted, but his partner thought that he had better not do anything about it as they might lose the trade of the home. Witness told several persons of the occurrence, however. MT. Schnei- der, Morerll's partner corroborated the testimony.
 MT. Adams denied he tucked the boys in a pail nearly full o& water but said he had put boys heads in a pail with little water in it. At one time he placed small child in wheelbarrow as a punishment for playing in the ashes, but denied that he rubbed it's face in the ashes, Mr. Adams declared the iceman's story to be entirely false He stated that he taught school for twenty-four years previous to assum- ing the superintendency of the home; he was member of the G. A. R. and also belonged to the Congregational church. He said it was the duty of the matron to report to him any incorrigi- ble cases and he attended to them. The children were we'll fed and we'll cared for in every way, he claimed, and described in detail the food served. As near as he could judge he did not have to resort to punishment oftener than four times a month and then was never cruel
