EPISCOPAL SERVICES
Were Not Held in the New st. Johns

The carpenters employed at the new
St. Johns church last Saturday stated
that the ediflce would be ready for
Sunday service.
Rector f. R. Jones, who has labored
hard to bring about such consum-

friends as well as the Chieftain. Upon
his request this paper made the an

press the carpenters told Mr.. Jones
that they would be unable to finish
their work.
In consequence Episcopal services

their kindness In permitting the use

In some grottoes in Algeria French

WHAT CONSULS TELL US

No literature issued by the govern
ment. except probably the weather re-
ports, is of more general interest to the
public than the reports OF our consuls.
The latest batch sent out from the
great printing shop in Washington is
as full of interesting news as news
paper is.
Mr.. Covert (Lyons) is trying to per-
suade the Frenchmen that the CO.
called Nicaragua wheat grown in Tex
as Ia just what they want for maxim g
maccaroni and edible pastes generally.
He has had no luck thus far in Lyons,
the manufacturers declining to ex-
press an opinion. Experts at Valence
think that the macceropi would be of
"an ordinary quality" An expert at
Marseilles thinks that the wheat would
find ready market there. This wheat
would make the best quality of edible
pastes,'' is the OPTION of still another
expert, described as one of the most
competent in Europe. So much for
Texas wheat.
Mr.. Skinner (Marseillesl has bit of
bad news to tell US. The olive crop in
the south of France, in Italy and in
some districts OF Spain is a sad disap-
pointment. Good judges say it won't
be third of the usual crop. This
means higher prices, of course. Last
wear European olive oil was selling in
Marseilles at I9 to % cents kilogram,
and Tunis oil at Is. Now good French
olive oil brings 80 cents and Tunis oil
%. The consul writes:
The damage has been wrought by a
nv known as the Mu5ca olsaria which
deposits its eggs in the green fruit. A
grub is Matched, snd this grub de-
stroys the olive, or at least so IL jures
It that the oil is very inferior in quail

garded as dispensation of Providence.

To the lay mind, 1t would seem that

with American spraying machines
provided an effective chemical com BIZ
nation could be found to put IN the
water. These flies will be In evidence
for some years to come, and appear to
be good subjects for American ingenui-
ty and enterprise.
While these dies have been fatten-
ing on the olives, the phylloxera has
been playing hob in the Swiss Vine
yards notably in Vaud. The cantonal
council has decided to follow the ex-
ample of Geneva, obtain from French
n lrseries a quantity of 'immune'
American vines, and ascertain by ex-
d ariment what can be done with them.

COMING events cast their shadows
before. France is so enerossed in the
Paris Exposition and Russia is SO sb.
sorbed in completing the Siberian
railway that there will be no great Eu-
ropean war this year. "But, adds an
exchange, ''in 1901 1t may be looked
for, and this apprehension is stimulat-
ing emigration to America, where
there is no danger of compulsory mill
tary service" Some 10000 more i'm
migrants had arrived in 1899 than in
the previous year. From the present
aspect, however, it ia estimated that
the present year will chow an increase
OF from 90, 900 to 100000 over the year
1899. From the first six months of the
present fiscal year, from July l to De-
cember 1, 1899, the total immigration
was l3l, $40.
