THE. WESTERN MISSIONS.
Bishop TaIbots Address Mt the
Church of the Ascension

A large audience gathered last night in
the Church of the Ascension, corner OF
Massachusetts Avenue and Twelfth Street
northwest. to hear lecture on The West
ern Mission Field" by Right Rev. E. Tai
bot. D. D.. Bishop of Pennsylvania.
Bishop Talbot was for twenty years mis-
sionary bishop of Wyoming and Idaho,
leaving the post two years ago for the
larger and more popuous field in the Key
stone State. The lecture was upon special
features of missionary labor in the far
West. aud it was replete with thrilling in
cideuts from the Bishops own experience
in ministering TO the spiritual welfare of
miners. cowboys. and the cosmopolitan
population of the frontier town.
The Bishop said in opening his address.
that it was al least significant here in the
Capital City OF the Nation, to find so large
a congreg CATION present, when it was known
beforehand that the subject was upon mis-
sions. But be considered ii fortunate In
one respect that so many had come to hear
the lecture. because he would try to en-
tighten the people of Washington little
regarding the great country beyond the
Mississippi concerning which many of
them were comparatively ignorant. As H.
Illustrating the poor knowledge of geog-
raphy which some had the Bishop related
a story OF a woman who had requested him
in one of his journeys 10 the East from
wyoming 10 look after the welfare of her
son in Texas.
Bishop Talbot said he assumed that his
audience were all patriotic ana all expan-
sonists. as he was, especially in religion.
A church which does not constantly ex
pand lis usefulness is not a gospel church
he said. and religion which does not dis
seminate Itself by missionary effort is not
an abiding religion. So he deduced the
proposition that all sincere Christians were
necessarily actuated by the missionary
spirit. and he felt constrained to attribute
the presence OF so many in the church to
that one fact.
The Bishop then gave a historical ac-
count of missionary work in The far West
dating from the departure of Bishop Jack
son from the East for Missouri in 1885. 1t
was shown that number of energetic and
cody men had gone into the West one
after another and had carried the banner
of the denomination not only into every
State and Territory. but almost into every
county In 1867 there was something like
a wave Of religious enthusiasm that over
spread the West. and from that time the |
Bishop pointed out the progress of the |
church had been rapid.
Bishop Talbot painted in true and vivid |
outline the characteristics of Western life |
Its spontaneous loyalty. its freedom from |
conventionality. and its better elements |
were all delineated by a master hand from
true and accurate observation.

THE people of the Pacific Coast are
unanimously in favor of expansion. said
Charles NJ Broderick, OF San Francisco,
at the Riggs last night. This is so be-
cause CT the fact that the coast is the
natural outlet through which all Eastern
trade will flow. The Increased demand for
everything needed TO place the Philippines
on par, commercially. with the rest of
the world, has already begun to show
forth and every week large consignments
of machinery and other materials are
shipped from San Francisco alone. OF
course We will benefit from the trade, and

benefit The candidate who stands for
expansion will carry the Pacific Coast"

PROF. SEEKER ENTERS HOLY
ESTATE OF MATRIM0NY WITH

w. c. SEEKER professor of physics in
the West Division High School, Milwau
kee returned to his home for Il few days
last week.
Mr. SEEKER is still an enthusiast for the
central high school system, as the most
utilitarian for Manitowoc. He admits
he differs widely on this subject from
his friend Prof c. f. Patzer. Mr.. Sick
er admits, however, that Mr.. Patzer
ranks high among the educators of the
state, and that his conclusions upon any
educational topic have the authority of
knowledge and experience. Notwith-
standing the admiration of Mr. SEEKER
for Mr., Patzer, the former refuses to fol-
low the lead of the latter In other
words Mr.. SEEKER has entered the holy
estate of matrimony with Miss Central
High School.

NJ Keehan returned to Manitowoc this
week and mingled again with friends of
his boyhood days. Four of the keehan
brothers We're in the city at the same
time Mr.. Keehan who has been away
for almost quarter of century makes
his home in Dallas, Tex. He remarked
that the recent hurricane at Galveston
which caused such widespread destruc.
tion had checked the progress of the
whole state. But, said he the people
of Texas are brave and have earnestly
set themselves to the task of repairing
the damage done by the storm.
Mr.. Keehan was amazed by the ma
terial development of Manitowoc, con
trasting it with what it was when he
left it. He said he barely knew the old
place; but here and there he recognized
a familiar face of the days of long ago
and that gladdened him.

1t will be noted that the tax apportion-
ment for 1900 will show slight decrease
from that of the previous year For gen
eral county purpose the sum of 500, 900
is apportioned and must be raised. This
is 5000 less than in 1899 1t is not gen
orally known, though it is an undisput-
able fact that the county has been rails
ing less money than the actual need Of
the general county fund. 1t is under
stood that for some years past at least
81, 900 year is paid the banks in inter
est for money borrowed to meet current
expenses
1t has occurred over and over again
that just previous to the end of the tis-
cal year the money in the hands of the
county treasurer has run out, and orders
upon the banks We're made necessary
The banks have paid these orders, charg
ing the legal rate of interest for the loan
being repaid usually after the collection
of the taxes. 1t has been suggested that
all the requirements of the general fund
thus doing away with the necessity o.
borrowing from the banks and paying
interest for the money.
Considerable interest has been mani
fest as to the tax apportionment on ac
count of the agitation last spring brought
about by the assessors meeting. So fan
as the taxes on the whole are conc erned
there are no apparent results. Locally
however, there will be some difference
since taxes are paid according to loca'
assessment.
The County board voted to discon
tinue the assessors meeting.
