Famous Old Church Enlarged.

A number of people gathered at
Thu her Ridge Church last week to
witness the laying of the corner stone
of the new addition to that venerable
structure. The church was built in
1865, and the sand used in its cOnstruc,
ton was borne from a distance by the
women of the congregation on horse
back. Among those who witnessed
the ceremony were five members of the
congregation who are direct descend
ants of the founders of the edifice.
Margaret Campbell Kinnear, one Of
these, placed beneath the corner stone
a sealed box, containing sermons OF
former pastors, church records, and
historical papers.

THE NEW LINE.
Greatest Engineering Feat the World
Has Ever Seen.

When the Nile reservoirs planned
by the great Willcocks were first made
known to the world, and it was found
that he, although offering six or seven
sites for his cyclopean designs, really
only highly recommended one, the con-
struction of which would wipe out the
island of Philae, the loveliest spot on
the Nile, there was a universal howl
of opposition. This got to such a
height that Sir w. Garstin and his en-
gineers may have felt a grim kind of
relief when they found that the French
would allow them no money from the
Caisse to realize their schemes for
storing the blessed water, and they had
for a time to abandon the whole af-
fair. So when, one fine morning, Mr..
John Arid. Sir Benjamin Baker, and
their friends, Unexpectedly called at
the office OF works in Cairo, and offered
to make any amount Of DANG, canals
and locks, wherever they pleased, for
no present cash payment, in accepting
their wonderful offer the government
cut down the level Of the great reser-
voir by nearly one-half. Willcocks
wanted to store up 100 feet OF water,
Sir Benjamin Baker was told TO CON
tent himself with twenty Bleters
Cabout sixty-five feet OF Nile storage.
And so the artists and the tourists
ana the general opponents to the
drowning OF Philae were appeased, or
at least silenced, aud the greatest en-
cheering work that the world has ever
seen was quietly started, and within
year 10000 men we're employed at
Asouan and at the supplemental dam
Of AssIout.
When the dam Is completed and at
its high level, Philae will have its
temple pylons, and few of the higher
ruins stan ding out Of the water, Just 10
mark where its ancient beauties were:
but all it's LONELINESS, its terdure, it's

pear beneath the waters. An island win
Dc lost, but a continent will be saved,
For my part, / would rather they had

RIGHTS OF PASSENGERS.
Interesting Case Recently Tried in the
English Capital.

An interesting case involving the
rights of passengers in public convey
ances was recently tried in London. A
woman endeavered to enter car of
which every seat was already occupied.
One of the passengers protested
against her doing so. She persisted,
remained standing throughout the
journey, used abusive language to the
protesting passenger, and at the jour
neys end hunted ND her husband and
melted him to assault the passenger
with club. The latter procured the
arrest of his assailant and the matter
was brought into court
In passing judgment upon the de-
PENDANT and fining him for assault up
on the protesting passenger the judge
declared that no one had a right to en-
ter a car of which all the seats were
already occupied. The passengers oc-
cupying the seats had already paid
fares for the use of them and of the
car. Ii was an infringement upon
their rights for others TO crowd into
the car, perhaps jostling and incom-
moding them, and certainly depriving
them of air and light Persons in a
car which was already full had moral
and legal right to prevent, by force if
necessary, the entrance of any more
passengers. No one had a right to in
convenience passengers already in their
places. If the railroad company is
sued more tickets than there were
seats in the train, passengers might
demand return of their money or might
recover in an action for damages.
These were, he added, the legal as well
as the moral principles OF the case. and
the sooner they were understood by the
public the better it would be for all
concerned.
| 1t is to be believed that the same
legal as we'll as moral principles exist
here. They have, 1t is true, been permit
ted to fall into allegiance. But little
public spirit and little judicial fear
lessness would quickly restore them to
vital force. 1t does not matter that
a passenger is willing to stand in a
crowded car, thus humoring the com
pany in its selhShenss and inhumanity
and permitting himself to be defraud-
ed. He has no right to do so, to the
inconvenience and discomfort of the
passengers who have paid for and are
occupying seats. These latter have the
right to put their feet upon the floor
without their being trampled upon. to
sit erect without having elbows, hips
and other parts of bodies thrust
against their faces. to enjoy reason.

PRIZE MONEY IN WAR.

The court of claims decided that Ad-
miral Dewey was not entitled to extra
prize money for destroying the Span
ish fleet at Manila. The Admiral con-
tended that the enemys force was SUI
perior to his own, but the court holds
to the contrary. AS 1t Is, Admiral
Dewey gets the snug sum of $3.50,
which, in view of the honors and in
creased pay that have been given
him, should in some measure compen-
safe him for his gallant exploit. or
course, the Admiral took many risks
when he steamed into Manila bay to
attack the Spaniards. He did not know
that they could not shoot or handle
their vessels to advantage, although
that has been their record for many
generations. He did not know that he
could surprise them, or that their
torpedoes were worthless and their
land Notifications little to be feared.
All of these conditions existed and
made his victory an easy one-in fact
the easiest of which there is any rec
ord. The officers and crew OF war
ship expose themselves to great perils
when they go into battle, and the dan
ger has not been greatly reduced with
the development of naval vessels and
modern engines of destruction. At the
same time it Is doubtful whether the
'prize-money" system will not be
abandoned at an early day. The
army which attacks and captures a
city Is not given a bonus, and there
seems to be no reason, from a purely
logical point of view, why a discriml-
nation should be made in favor Of the
navy. Possibly the sailor may think
otherwise, and he may. in fact be en-
titled to a reward for doing his duty
under circumstances which only those
can appreciate who have exposed them
selves TO death In its most horrible
form. Nevertheless, men work every
day at calllngs which are equally dan
gerous, and many are killed by acct
dents In mines or on railroads There
Is no prize money" for them in life
and no pensions for their families in
case Of death. Every year more men
are killed on railroads than we lost

amid enthusiastic cheering, an old
woman remarked:
"Ah! Isn't it the fine reception
they're gettin', goin' away?"
In 1892 Dublin university celebrated
its tercentenary, and crowds of visitors
were attracted to the city. Two labor
ers, rejoiced at the general prosperity,
thus expressed their feelings:

oh fax they do" said the other.
And whin, with the blessin' of God,
we get home rule. sure we can have as
nanny of thin as we phase"
An old woman, seeing a man pulling
a young calf roughly along the road,
exclaimed:
"Oh, you bla'guard! That's no way
to thrate fellow crather"
sure said a laborer to a young
lady who was urging him to send his
children to school, I'D do anything
Tor such sweet gintlemanly lady as

The laborers on large estate decld-
ed that it would be more convenient
for them If they could be paid every
week instead of every fortnight. One
of their number was sent to place
their proposition before the land agent,
and this was his statement
IF you phase, sir, it's me desire, and
it is also livery other mans desire, that
we resave our fortnlghts pay every
