ally conducted the big mass meeting
The governor had not been in the city
since the big political meeting held at
Turner hall a few nights before the
gubernatoriaI election. On that occa-
sion he was listened to solely as a po-
litica1 speaker and candidate. His visit
this time was largely as a Christian, an
ardent member and supporter of the
Y. NJ c. A The large auditorium of the
church was packed.
There was no fixed programme for
the meeting. The governor was left to
lead the meeting in his own manner
and according to his own inclination,
just as he conducted many a similar
meeting at his home association in
Wichita. AS a result there was an
abundance of enthusiasm. When the
governor announced a hymn the audi
ence arose en- masse and followed the
leadership of his voice and hand
After his brief but vigorous talk Gov
ernOr Stanley announced that the Leav-
enworth association was engaged in an
effort to secure a new home. He told
how lot had been left by the late
George A. Eddy, and how over 81, 600
of the needed $4,000 for a building had
been pledged. Then he called for dOna-
tons to raise the remaining $4,000. A
gratifying response was made to this
plea and numerous pledges were, made
A large amount was raised in this man
ner. When the association will be in its
new home it will be a matter of pride
that one of the. largest stones in it's
structure was placed there by the eff
forts of Governor Stanley.

1t was a large congregation which
gathered in the First Methodist Episco-
pal church Sunday morning to hear the
initial sermon of the new pastor of the
church, Rev. Dr. J. T. Mcfarland, late
of brooklyn, New York. The auditor
ium and galleries were packed, and it
was necessary to throw open the lee
ture room to accommodate the con-
gregation. The first impression of the
new minister by his Topeka congTega-
ton was satisfactory.
Dr. Mcfarland delivered a thirty
minutes discourse from Psalms 1915:
Strength and beauty are in His
sanctuary" DR.. Mcfarland applied the
text to Christianity and the teachings
of Christ, showing their resistless force
and the strength they impart to those
who accept them. The discourse was
replete with illusions to history and
literature.

AS one Of those esteemed competitors
mentioned in a recent statement by an
estimable firm we disclaim being wor-
| ried about that peculiar offering Of the
Green, Joyce & Co.'S stock of goods.
Evidently it must have worried that
shrewd merchant 90 OF Atchison who
appeared to have secured the country
from north to south and from the east
to the west to unload a stock of mer-
chandise, which the people of Atchison
contemptuously rejected.
Now, it doesn't take an extraordinarily
smart person to see that where a mer-
chant buys good, clean and staple mer-
chandise at a price much below the
regular selling cost that there should
be any occasion for worry. On the con-
trary, every such merchant would, I'M
der such conditions, feel jubilant; would
congratulate himself; would not scour
the country to divide such a wholesome
purchase.
The assertion made by US, that many
concerns had purchased of this stock
from second hands, was confirmed
much sooner than we looked for. And
that they bought from a concern that
sickened of it's purchase was a matter
not unexpected.
There were two classes of merchan-
disc sold: the clean, staple, fresh and
strictly first class kind, of which there
was nearly half million dollars worth
and the unclean, the scorched and
watersoaked kind, which was sold on
the last days of the sale, and in a sep
arate building mot being considered fit
to mix with the others). Now, is it diff
cult to deduct as to which this Atchison
Cd merchant purchased?
Our purchases were made on the spot
from first hands-clean, staple, good
merchandise-way below the lowest
wholesale cost. We have every rea-
son to know that we did not nisjudge
the buyers of Topeka, as did that mer-
chant of Atchison the buyers Of his city.

STREET CAR BUN BY AIR.
New Motive Power Proves Itself a
Success in Test in New York.

New York April PA practical DEM
onstration of the utility of compressed
air as a motive power was made this
week during a most satisfactory eXper-
mental trip of one of the new cars in;
tended for service on the ''cross-town'
surface lines in Twenty-eighth and
Twenty-ninth streets.
The car with which the experimental
run was made is one of the 20 now
ready. 1t differs in no way in appear
ance from the ordinary electric car.
Each car said Mr. Pearson, may
be described as an independent air OPP
Grated locomotive, the power being sup
piled from compressed air tanks carried
under the seats, the mechanism consist
ing of a four-cylinder compound engine
by which the axIes are revolved-"
Attached to each end of the truck
which supports the wheels are two cyl
inders, one pair high and the other low
pressure. These work on shafts, geared
by cog wheels to the main shafts or ak
les. The air is first admitted to the pair
of high pressure cylinders and then
passes through a heavy copper pipe to
the second pair, and, having again been
used, is exhausted into the atmosphere.
In order to obviate any noise the air is
passed through a ''muffier,' so that the
working of the engine is silent.
The cars are intended to be run for 16
miles on one charge of air, which can
be introduced into the tanks, or bot
ties as they are technically termed, in
two minutes.
The dimensions of the COMPRISING
engine are enormous. 1t is of the verti-
cal type, and is said to be by far the
largest machine of its kind in the world
1t has a horse power of 1900, against
the 400 exerted by the air COMPRISING
engine in use in Paris, which comes
next in size. Between and below the
cylinders is a great fly wheel with a
diameter of % feet and weighing 60
tons, the periphery of which revolves
a the speed of one mile a minute.
Below the steam cylinders are the
Accommodating cylinders, in which the
volume of the air is reduced in four
successive stages. In the first COM
pressor Ga feet of air is taken in and at
one stroke is placed at a pressure of so
pounds to the square inch. In the sec
ond compressor this air is raised to a
pressure of 172 pounds to the square
inch, and then passes to a third com
pressor, in which the pressure is raised
to $50 pounds, and the bulk is reduced
to five cubic feet. In the fourth COM
pressor the pressure is raised to 1000
bounds per square inch, and the bulk
is reduced to one and half cubic feet.
The whole operation requires only four
seconds The air is then passed into
reservoir of 700 bottles.
After the operation of charging the
car had been shown it was placed
the Twenty-third street tracks. The
car ran with great SmOOthneSS, and the
starting and stopping was done with
utter absence of jar and jerk. The cars
are illuminated with gas.
