REV. ". M, BARROWS DEAD
HE PERFORMED THE BELMONT SLOANE MARRIIGE CEREMONY.
Mtsrepresentations and Criticisms Preyed Cpon His Mind, Robbed Him OfSleep and Reduced His Vitahty-Ah Extremely Sensitive Man-Failed Steadily and Expired Yesterday.

New York, Aug. 10.-Rev. Josiah Strong, president of the League for So- cial Science of this city and former gen. eral secretary of the Evangelical alli- ance to-day received telegrams an- nouncing the death at Mackinaw Island, Mich, of Rev. pr. Walter Manning Bar rows of Greenwich, Conn.,, who perform ed the marriage ceremony of Perry Bel mont and Mrs Sloane. One of the tel egrams sent to pr. Josiah Strong was from Rev Dr. J. H. Barrows, president of Oberlin college, a brother of the late Dr. Barrows It reads as follows:
 Grand hotel, Mackinaw Island Mich. :: Rev. Josiah Strong, D. D., New York: Rev. Walter Manning Barrows' funeral in Greenwich Sunday. Will you and Dr. Choate off1ciate? Signed: John Henry Barrows."
 Though making his headquarters in New York city pr. Strong is a resi- dent of Greenwich, Conn, and mem Der of the Second Congregational church of that city, the church of which Dr. Walter M. Barrows was the pastor. Dr. Strong tonight said that the various misrepresentations concerning the con- meeting of Dr. Walter Barrows with the Belmont-Sloane marriage had called forth statement which was adopted at conference of the church at a joint meeting on July 6.
 rNbio ct pr. Barrows from all blame in the mat ter. pr. Strong also said: "Dr. Walter M. Barrows was an extremely sensitive man and the misrepresentations and and criticisms in regard to the Bel mont-Sloane marriage preyed upon his mind, robbed him of sleep and reduced his vitality. It is the common convic- tion in Greenwich that it was an m- portant if not the primary cause of his death. He was very much broken in health and on his vacation he went to the home of his brother, President John o. Barrows of Oberlin college, a few weeks ago. His condition became so critical that Mrs. Barrows was sum- moned last Sunday from Greenwich. A consultation of physicians was held, but notwithstanding the best medical skill he continued to fail and died this af- ternoon.'
 Rev MT. Strong said that Dr. Walter Barrows was born in the west. His father was professor at Olivet college, Michigan, and there Dr. Barrows ob- tained a classical education. He was afterwards graduated from Union The ological seminary, New York city He was one of the first missionaries to Utah for the Congregational church. In 1881 he became secretary of the Home Missionary society, New York city, re- maining here until he was called to Rockford, Ill.,, as pastor of the Congre- gational church there. A little over year ago he accepted call to the pas torate of the Second Congregational church at Greenwich, Conn. He leaves a wife and five children.

Robert Stone addressed the council
in behalf of the property owners on
Quincy street between Sixth and Eighth
avenues. A levy has been made against
this property to pay for paving a strip
IN the middle OF the street that was
paved twelve years ago. At that time
a street railway company had a fran
chsie for a line down Quincy street,
and the paving was to be done by the
company, but 1t was finally paved by
the Barber Asphalt company and
charged up against the property own
ers, part of whom have paid for it.
Mr.. Stone said that the bill of the
company was outlawed long ago, and
it was using the council as a catspaw
to collect it; that most of the property
had changed hands, and the present
owners had purchased it suppoSing all
back taxes paid, and they did not like
to be held liable for this paving tax
now. City Attorney Bird said that the
asphalt company brought suit against
the city for the amount long ago, but
it had been dismissed with the under
standing that the city should levy the
tax and the company would defend any
litigation which might arise. The mat
ter was referred to the judiciary com

CITY Hospital Needed.

A bill presented to the city council
last night by the officers of StOrmont
hospital called forth considerable dis
cussion. The bill was for taking care
of Joseph Hayden, who had his feet
cut off by a train in North Topeka last
summer. The unfortunate man had no
place to go, the Salvation Army hos
pitaI was full, and after he had lain
down in the police station and suffered
for some time Chief Ramsey ordered
him taken to Stormont hospital, where
he was to be cared for for one
dollar a day.
The bill amounted to S5S but several
of the cOuncilmen objected to the city
paying it, because the statutes provide
that the county shall pay such bills

CITY HALL HEAT.
Council Considers How Building
Shall Be Heated.
Edison Company Submits q
Proposal.
NO ACTION is TAKEN.
Will Be Necessary to Decide
Question Soon.
Other Business Transacted by
the Topeka City Fathers.

It is expected that the plans in de-
tail for the new city building will be
in readiness to be presented to the city
council at a special meeting to be held
next Monday evening, and at that time
the council will be called upon to decide
as to how the building shall be heated,
whether by a heating plant of its own
or by heat supplied by the Edison com
pany.
c. r. Maunsell, superintendent Of the
Edison plant, was present at the meet
ing of the council last night and gave
a general idea of how much it would
cost to heat the building by contract.
He said the heating contracts were gen
orally based upon the number of square
feet of radiation in the building, but
that it could also be done on the meter
system.
In the city hall wing of the building
there will be 1000 feet of radiation. and
in the auditorium 5000 feet If this was
in constant use the price for heating
the entire building would be from $1,000
to 81, 800 a year. The auditorium, how
ever, will be in use only part of the
time. Mr.. MaunseH suggested that the
city hall might be heated on the surface
system and the auditorium on the meter
system. The price for heating the city
hall alone viii be $500 year.
If the council decides to heat the
building by contract it will save the
trouble and expense of putting in boil
ers for heating purposes, and no fire
man will have to be employed or coal
purchased.
On the other hand, if a contract is
made with the Edison company, it will
cost $500 to lay the mains from the
Edison plant to the city building, and
part of this expense the company will
ask the city to advance, as it will have
to go to still further expense in enlarg-
ing it's plant, and it has already spent
several thousand dollars on improve
ments within the past few months.
The method of heating will have to
be decided soon as it will make a diff
ference in the plans for the building
and in the letting of the contracts.

Again Comes Up For Its Weekly
ThreShing.

The perennial dead animal question
came up at the council meeting last
night as usual. Two bids We're sub
mitted for disposing of the city's re-
fuse, one by DR.. Geo. H. HapgOod and
the other by the Topeka CrematOry
company. Hapgood agreed 10 haul away
dead horses and other large animals
for so cents each, dogs and cats for 20
cents each, and to cart away the city 5
refuse for $24 per month. The other bid
was to haul away and crelnate dead
horses and other large animals at 81
each, dogs and cats at 25 cents each,
garbage at 40 cents per barrel, and the
city's refuse at $50 per month.
Councilman Benson moved that the
bid of the crematOry be accepted, but
several councilmen objected to doing
so because of the disparity between the
two bids. Other cOuncilmen said they
would not vote to give the contract
to HapgOOd under any considerations,
because he did not properly dispose of
the refuse and the city had always had
trouble with him.
Both propositions We're at length re-
ferred to the ways and means commit

FOUNDED A. o. U. w.
VIM. Smith, One of the Original ID
Visits Topeka.


Visits Topeka.
The visit of Mr. William Smith to
Topeka on Monday afternoon, calls to
mind the fact that he is one of the
original thirteen founders of the A. O..
U. w. fraternaI organization, which was
brought into existence over thirty years
ago, and today is probably the strong
est order of this kind in the world.
Mr.. Smith is at present employed by
the Santa Fe road at Arkansas City as
machinist IN the shops there.
1t was at Meadville, Pa, that the
original lodge of the A. o. U. w. was
founded, and J. J. Upchurch, now
Mr.. Upchurch was at that time the
master mechanic of the Atlantic and
Great Western railroad shops, and to-
gether with twelve of the mechanics
under his supervision, one of whom was
Mr.. Smith, a meeting was held and the
result of this meeting was the begin
ming of the order which is today fore
most of the fraternaI organizations of
the world.
It was at the close of the civil war
that the necessity of making provision
Tor the families of those who had been
killed in battle was brought forcibIy to
the mind of Mr.. Upchurch, and the
formation of the A. o. U. w. was a di-
rect result of this much needed want.
Mr.. Smith is 55 years of age, and
has been working at the machinists
trade Tor many years, in fact almost
continuously since he first Joined the
order He is still an active worker in
the A. O. U. W. So far as known, there
is only one other survivor of the orig
inal thirteen founders. Mr.. Smith Wis
tied with several of the members of
the order during his short stay in the
city.

BUILDING AND LOAN RULE.
Bank Commissioner Makes Ruling
Concerning Agents Fees.

Bank Commissioner BreidenthaI is
preparing a letter to be sent out to the
building and loan associations in the
state. In it he viii impose the require
ment that hereafter all agents fees
must be paid out of the interest
charges.
Under the present system, agents are
allowed fee by the building and loan
associations which is paid by the per-
son buying stock. In some cases Mr..
Breidenthal states. Misrepresentation
have been made by agents. and after
taking stock the purchaser has found
the proposition less profitable than rep
resented, and declined to pay in fur
Their. In these cases the agents fees
represents lost money. Commissioner
Breidenthal holds that agents fees are
d part of the principal. and no part of
the principal can be lawfully used for
expenses.
