A CHURCH ON WHEELS.

On Conanicut island, just across the
way from Newport, R. l., clever
clergyman has just built church on
wheels
Consnicut island is thriving, prom
Using summer resort that pxides itself
on possessing more hotels than the
queen Of American watering places.
Conanicut Island is nine miles long
considerable distances apart. James
town, the principal settlement, is the
center for all the churches, and the
residents at the end of the island find
it inconvenisnt to attend services.
Rev. c. b. Preston, pastor of st.
Matthew's Episcopal church, has stud
led the problem of attendance. He is
a Jealous worker, and when he learned
that the people could not come to him
he concluded that it was necessary for
him to go to them, and hit upon the
scheme of building portable church.
Mr.. Preston disclosed his plan to his
flock. but the scheme was not cordially
received.
Having implicit faith in the idea, Mr..
Preston laid it before the Newport
Episcopal Convocation, from which he
received assistance enough to begin
the work. BY unremitting labor the
necessary fund was raised to construct
the nova bile edif1ce and in q few dayS
it will be dedicated
The church, which will be known as
the Chapel Of the TRANSPORTATION, was
built in the rear of St. Matthew's
church, under the immediate super
vision of Mr.. Preston, and is very
pretty little edifice. Within it looks
very churchlike, being finished in cy-
press. 1t has all the accessories Of a
chapel, with its stained-glass win
dows, big chandeliers, altar rail- pews
and accommodations for camp chairs.
The building is 1712S feet, and rests
on heavy truck with wide-tired, low
wheels on which it can be moved from
place to place. When the chapel Is In
position for service, the heavy pole, to
which six teams Of horses or oxen have
been attached, is taken out and stored
under the building, its place being
taken by broad steps leading to the
front platform. Side boards are placed
around the truck, giving the chapel
the appearance of a permanent struc-

Revised figures prepared by the Railroad
Gazette show the total mileage OF new
roads built in the United States in 1895 to
be $685. miles. These figures do not in
clude second track and sidlngs. This is
an increase of some 400 miles over the
preliminary estimates made at the begin
ming of the year. But even these latest
figures are probably too small 20 repre-
sent the entire increase in mileage made in
the whole country last year. For the year
before the mileage of new roads amounted
to 200 miles, which was only little in
advance Of the records for the previous
three years.
The present year is expected to show a
very substantial gain over 1898. In the
West particularly railway construction Is

A HEARING ON GRAIN RATES TO Be HELD
Adduced VIII Determine
the state Rates to be Made
to Gulf Ports.

Austin Texas. May S1.--The railroad
commission issued the following notice this
evening
1t is ordered that notice be and the same
lis hereby given to all persons interested
that the railroad commission Of Texas will
on Monday. June IL, 1899. at its office In
Austin, take up and consider the matter
of tariff of rates for the TRANSFORMATION
by railroads between points in Texas Of
shipments of wheat and other grain. in
carloads
The commission has received informa-
tion to the effect that a rate OF 10 cents
per 100 pounds has been put in force Tor
the transportation Of wheat, in carloads
from Kansas City to Galveston, and IT is
suggested that corresponding rate, pro-
portioned to distance. be adontcd TO apply
| between points in the common point ter
rltory OF Texas. The nature of the in
| formation submitted at the hearing will
serve to determine whether or not neces-
slty exists for the adoption, in this case,
of an emergency rate.
| The railroad commission issued the fol-
lowing letter Of advice this evening:
The frequency with which certain rail-
| road lines have OF late INDUCED in the
practice of making sharp temporary re-
auctions in their interstate rates for the
purpose OF securing large quantities Of
freight that have been offered for shipment
in specified periods affords conclusive evil
dence that the demand for revenues is not
we'll founded, and that the present high
LEGAL rates can we'll stand some general
reductions, which will afford protection TO
many shippers who are injured by the in
stability of the rates. as we'll as to those
lines OF railroads which are endeavorins
to faithfully maintain the high rates. The
means heretofore employed by the COM
mission to offset the evils of the interstate
rate wars-Iby making corresponding re-
auctions in the State rates-has not proven
to be an adequate remedy. and there is
room in some cases for the presumption
that some action by the commission was
expected by those who prompted the re-
duction in the interstate rates that their
objects might thereby be more effectually
carried out.
Unless these practices are promptly dis
continued the commission will consider
the propriety Of reducing the rates on some
: commodities handled more generally by the
: people within the State, hoping thereby
$ to remedy to some extent the evils and
injuries resulting from these interstate
rata wars. we are aware that If we are
: driven to the necessity OF adding this as
e a remedy for these wrongs. that 1t VII
reduce the revenues OF the railroads o.
2 Texas, which we shall regret; but they
can prevent this by refusal to participate
in these cut rates from points outside o.
$ this state. and this commission will not
i therefore, be responsible for such reuuc
tions OF revenue.
