AMONG THE CHURCHES ;

Rev. George w. Davis D.. D., is being
prominently spoken of for the pastorship OF
the House of Hope Presbyterian church. A
meeting of the congregation will be held
Wednesday evening, March 15 when church
leader will be selected.
But two clergymen have been spoken of in
this connection and it is certain that one
of them will receive the House of Hopes
call. Rev. ]. D. Paxton, of Philadelphia, who
occupied the pulpit for the last two Sun
days, found great deal of favor with the
congregation, and he Is the choice of many
of the church people.
DR.. Davis, on the other hand, Is urged by
many and his selection as successor to Dr.
Egbert would not be a surprise. He is, per-
haps, more after the style of DR.. Egbert than
any clergyman who has filled the House of
Hope pulpit. He is thorough scholar and
personally known to many of the church
people as dean Of Manchester college.
His sermons since the latter part of No
vember have highly pleased the fashionable
and arlstocratic audiences which worship
every Sunday at the House of Hope, and if
he could be prevailed upon to give up his
scholastic pursuits and enter the ministry
his selection would quite likely be made
by a popular vote.
DR.. Paxton has returned East, and DR.,
Davis will continue to occupy the pulpit of
the house OF Hope until a minister iS regu-
larly installed.
The two names will be submitted to the
congregation at it's meeting next week and the
choice will be made by ballot

Hard Times i'm Cuba.

Serious complications have arisen in
Cuba, which, for the time being.

Spaniards have been forced to go TO
Santo Domingo, where they have found
temporary employment. 1t Is claimed
that there is work for 1000 more. but
as rule the Spaniard is anything but
anxious to be deported from Cuba.
The Cuban newspapers, in recent ed

America at the Paris Exposition.

The exact amount appropriated for
the Paris exposition by the billion-and-

will cost 100000, will stand On the
bank of the Seine and be a landing

building is exclusively dedicated to the
comfort of American visitors and to
the uses of the executive department.
Special buildings will be devoted to
the weather bureau, forestry exhibits
and printing presses.
All American exhibits must pass the
scrutiny of a board of experts before
they are sent abroad. In all previous
expositions the enterprise of the ex-
hibitors alone determined their right
to be represented in the American sec

be devoted to machinery and electrical
apparatus. This department will be
in charge of a Chicago man. The next

THE SIDE SADDLE.
How the Custom of Riding With {
Twist In the Back Originated.

Now that the season for horseback riding
is approaching the discussion over suitable
costumes for women begins afresh. Pity 1t is
that the royal cripple for whose convenience
the side saddle was devised, did not keep off
the horse altogether; then women would never
have thought of riding with their backs
twisted, their knees hunched up and their
feet mufled in clumsy skirt.
But while for generations women in certain
chimes have blindy followed the fashion set
by the woman with shrive,ed limb, they are
beginning to stop now and then to ask why
they should ride with "crick" in the back
Mrs. H. P. Calgrone, in the Country Gentle
man, thus deliveries herself upon the sub
ject.
That the sidesaddle is hard on both horse
and rider has been understood from the
first she says, but few dared to brave the
fashion and ride in the sensible way. This
was more the case because of lack of a
suitable costume for women to wear In the

is strapped under the foot and the coat is
buttoned to the skirt. Hence the skirt can

saddle is cramped, uncomfortable and dan
gerous in case of a fall. Physicians will
testify to the evil results of this cramped
position. The crosssaddle Is more secure
and more comfortable. A woman can ride
longer with less fatigue when seated astrade
AS to the horse, he is unquestionably more
comfortable when the weight is balanced
evenly on each side. The gfrths need not be
so tight with the saddle, and the liza
bility to sore backs is much less. The rider
has more comfortable and secure seat, and
hence the tendency to ride the bridle'' is
much less.
