Cluny Macpherson, whose death occurred
recently in Scotland, on certain occasion
having dealings in his castle with one of
the very poorest of his clansmen. had him

redecorated at great expense.

Gothic In the windows is cathedral glass,
loaded with space for memorial tablets.
The interior is 16 feet in the clear, rough
sanded for frescoing in the future, wains-
coted throughout and grained in ash with
hard oil finish, to correspond with the fur
niture, the pulpit and altar rail being of
ash and the chairs and partitions grained.
The building is lighted with gas by means
of chandelier in the center and six side
lights. The auditorium will accommodate
25O people, and, as above stated, when the
Sunday school is thrown open nearly as
many more.
Descended From Wesley Church.
May IA, 1893, the SEVENTEEN anniversary
of Wesley NJ. E. Church. from which this
congregation. through Grace NJ E. Church,
was organized, Rev. E. L. Watson Of
Grace Church held the first service, and it
was determined to organize a Sunday
school. The services, as well as the Sunday
school sessions, were held regularly in a
house rendered by Mr.. D. B. Croft. A
membership of fifty gathered In the church
and the Sunday school numbers about $50.
Last spring the question of erecting
church was brought up, and Mr.. Croft ten
dered the lot. Being seconded by the
friends and neighbors, the work was en-
tered upon, the ground being broken on
March II last, and a month later the cor
ner stone was laid by the presiding elder,
Rev. DIR. Lucien Clarke. DR.. Clarke's pre-
decessor, Rev. DIR. L. B. Wilson, ofticiated
at the breaking of the ground for this, the
only church started in Washington district
last year. DR.. Clarke's first official act
was the laying of the corner stone. The
cost of the building is difficult to state, SO
much aid having been given in. the way of
contributions of material work and dis
counts by members and friends, but the
value is fully $4,000.
There Is little doubt that when the con-
gregation takes possession of the building

ANCIENT RUINS UNCOVERED.
Valuable Arch@logi ical Finds onthe

NEW YORK, June 1.-The Indepen-
dent has received from Professor Rufus
b. Richardson, director of the Ameri-
can School of Archaeology, Athens, un-
der date of May 29th, the following
cable message:
''The American School Of Archaeolo-
gy at Athens has just made an impeP-
tant discovery at Corinth, the excava-
tion of which site has been assigned to
the American School. In excavating
the Agora at depth of twenty feet an
ancient Greek fountain has been found
with bronze lion head spouts in their
original position. Besides this unique
discovery much valuable sculpture has
been found and enough of the great
propylaea has laid open to make it pos
sible to restore the topography of
Corinth. The Greek Government finds
these discoveries so important that it
will build a special museum for pre-
serving the monuments that have been
recovered"

White That the Kaiser Will
Be Lenient.

NEW YORK, June IA special to the
Herald from Washington says:
While encouraged to believe from re-
ports received from Andrew d. White. the
American ambassador at Berlin, that the
German Government will prevent the en-
forcement of the new meat inspection act
until after the present contracts held by
American packers are filed, the authori-
ties confess that they are without abso-
lutte assurances that this will be done.
Mr.. White has informed Mr.. Hay that
in pursuance Of his instructions, he has
called the attention of the German Gov
time when the law shall enter into oper-
alton, or at least amending 1t in such
manner that the contracts of American
packers now In force will not be affected.
1t is said at the State Department that
Mr.. White has not cabled it any infor-
nation confirmatory of the advices re-
of the German-American Provision Com
pany, that the bill will not go into effect
until October 5th, and the officials fear
there has been some mistake. Mr.. White
would certainly have informed the De-
partment of any such important develop
ment. Instead. his advices are all to the
effect that the German Government, un-
derstanding the hardships which will be
suffered by American packers. will en-
rath.
