bills had been carefully examined by

thus ascertained. If Congress were

A writer In the North American Re-

sessive legislation. 1t appears that at
their last annual sessions, the legisla-

more than $4,000 laws-good, bad and

sould wink out of sight the facts that
many OF the acts spring from an un-
wholesome desire to accomplish social

many more of them represent individ-

At the recent session Of the ecumeni.
cal conference in New York an idea
was advanced which is of much signifi-
canoe, though it was not acted upon.
1t was an entering wedge, however,
which may yet have the important re-
suit Of doing away with an old and
time-honored institution of the church.
The suggestion was made by the young
people that the oyster supper, the
strawberry festival, the Rachers well,
the grab bag, the bazaar, and other
features of this kind, known in the ag-
gregate as the church festival and in
tended to raise funds for various
church purposes, should be, abandoned
as out Of date. In its place they made
the suggestion that the raising of mon
always be conducted on business prin-
ciples. If cash was wanted they should
go out and get 1t in business way, and
the donors equivalent should be the
consciousness of duty we'll done and
the feeling of relief that he had not
been obliged to go to the festival. The
church festival as it now exists is in a
comparatively harmless stage of its
evolution, though it is cumbersome and
represents an output Of labor and
energy for which no sufficient return Is
made, but 1t is blameless as compared
with the festival of the past. "Other
times, other manners" In the colonial
days the church was a robust institu-
ton. 1t is still within the memory of
some when New England rum was one
of the adjuncts of Puritanism. That
beverage was not regarded with so
much dlsfavor as now. 1t figures in
many a statement of accounts. 1t
helped to "raise" many church struc-
ture. Its use was not considered as eX-
traordlnary, nor was it called hard
names as now. In the course of evolu-
ton 1t has disappeared altogether. The
lottery, which also at one time was de-
pended upon for revenue, by the same
processes has dwindled down to the
grab bag" and the 'village postotfice."
AS at present managed there is nothing
seriously Objectionable in the church
festival. The action of the young peo-
pie Is inspired, doubtless, by the feel
ing that the pecuniary results of the
festivals are insignificant when com
pared with the amount of labor re-
quired to prepare them, and undoubted-
ly they are correct in this decision. A
tithe of the effort spent upon a festival
put forth on business lines would un-
doubtedly secure larger financial re.
suits. People are outgrowing the in.
stltution. In other words, the church is
advancing and the funds for its sup.
port must be raised in different way.
The church festival with all its com.
plicated paraphernalia, will soon be
thing of the past. The much simpler
method of merely passing the hat" is
destined to take its place,

An ordinary man would laugh away
as pfeposterous the suggestion that he
was likely to spend twenty years of his
life in sleep. But that is because he
does not conduct his life according to
schedule and really has no idea of
how he does spend it. AS matter of
fact most men over 60 years old have
already spent more than twenty years
in bed. Which is only one of the sur
prises in store for the man who sets

SMALL CROWD SEES SOLDIERS
CLOSE OF OLD AND YOUNG
FIGHTERS REUNION.
Fireworks Last Night and the Fall
of Fort Donelson We're Beautiful
and Most Effective.

If the small turnout at the Lagoon
on the first day of the soldiers re-
union was cool response to the ap-
peal of the veterans to the patriotic
impulses of the pleasure-loving public,
the attendance yesterday was a posi-
tive frost. 1t looked for awhile during
the afternoon as if the public had stu
diOusly planned to give the G. A r.
veterans and their young comrades of
the batteries the cold shake, for one
train after another drew into the re-
sort with from forty to 100 passengers
aboard.
But the G. A. r. committee, with the
genial Major Stanton at the head,
smiled through it all and went right on
with the programme as it had been ar
ranged and advertised. determined to
give those who did attend the privilege
Of witnessing the whole show.
First of the sports yesterday was the
baseball game between the national
guard boys and the returned Philippine
volunteers. They got down to work in
earnest. and for five innings the game
was fairly good. even though One-Sided.
The score at the end was II 20 Z in
favor Of the battery boys.
The following are the winners of
prizes in the foot races:
Girls to IS, Alice Boylin first, Ger
trude Newhausen second.
Boys to - Lawrence Sour first,
Bert Tribe second.
Boys 16 to 90 Charles Boylin first,
Archer Willy second.
Men 20 to so George FarnSworth.
Men 80 to 80, Richard Solomon first,
NJ. A. Breeder second.
Obstacle race. W. w. Willy first, Leo
Gledhill second.
The fireworks at night were far bet
ter than those of the night before. The
feature of the whole reunion, upon
which the committee had spent the
most time and money, was the scenic
production representing the capture Of
Fort DonelsOn. A section of the Utah
batteries, under command Of Lieuten-
ant Gibbs. company f. from BOuntiful
and a squad of G.. A. r. men formed
the attacking party, with four gun
boats on the lake.
After the bOmbardment of fifteen
minutes the Confederate flag came
down on the fort the stars and stripes
were run up, the battery band played
THE Star Spangled Banner" and beau
tiful fireworks were set oft represent
ing the we'll known faces of Lincoln and
Grant. After this the gunboats were
blown up and the effect was very fine.
The reunion was not a financial sue
cess and the soldiers are behind to
considerable extent. The crowd was
not over 900 today. The committee
feels that q mistake was made in
charging 80 cents for the trip out when
there was so much going on besides.
There was talk tonight of repeating the
capture Of Fort DonelsOn next Monday
night and charging but p cents.
There was excitement for a time dur
ing the battle, caused by the falling OF
of the spectators, and il was feared for
a time that some had been seriously
hurt. 1t proved. however. that no dam
age was done.
