WICHITA WANTS IT.
Delegation Arrives to Work For Re-
publican State Convention.

Wichita is represented by E. B. Jew
EFT, John Davis and C. V Ferguson
who have come to Topeka to take the
state convention to Wichita. Today
somebody made Governor Stanley mad
by misrepresenting him. Stanley some
weeks ago said he believed the con-
vention would be held in Topeka. Wich-
tia was not a candidate then. Today, at
the last hour, the town comes in. One
of the first things reported was that
Stanley was demanding the convention
for Wichita
This the governor denied and said:
Il am taking no part in this contro-
versy. The state committee will settle
the question without reference to me.
I shall ask no one to vote for Wichita:
neither will 1 urge others to stand by
Topeka / am neutral: absolutely neu-
trail now that things have. been brought
into this condition"
Some of the party workers who
should be friendly to Topeka were loaf
ing around today taking no part in the
matter. Dave Mulvane was reported to
be working for Wichita for political
reasons but this he denied at once and
Immediately commenced to whoop
things up for Topeka. If the commit
teemen keep their pledges Topeka will
be selected by a nice majority. If the
committeeman do as others have done
in the past, there is no probability for a
guess as to where the convention will
be held until the vote is taken.

FRIENDLY TO BRITAIN
The Administration at Washington
VIII Not Recognize Sympathy
For Rners

New York, Jan. ga special to the
World from Washington says: The fear
of offending Great Britain and provok-
ing a protest would cause the admins
tratiOn to decline to comply with the
request of DR.. Pretorius, of St. Louis,
who. it is said, has forwarded to Sec
rotary Hay money and a letter express
sing sympathy with the Beers, which
he asks TO be sent TO President Kruger
through the American consul at Pre-
toria
It is indicated that the ste e depart
ment viii take the ground that it would
be a violation Of the neutrality laws
for this government to give financial
aid to a beligerent
It is pointed out that this request
differs from the request made by the
American consul at Pretoria IN behalf of
Great Britain, to be permitted to for
ward money to be used by the British
sick and wounded in the purchase of
delicacies, in that the latter request is
made by one belligerent Of another,
using a neutral as means OF communi-
cation.

PROF.RIDDDELL's LECTURE
Addresses the Congregation of First
Methodist Church.

Professor N. n. Riddell, of Chicago,
delivered an interesting lecture last ev-
ening at the First Methodist church.
This lecture was the first of a series
which he will deliver in Topeka during
this week The auditorium and gallery
of the church were entirely filed with
an appreciative audience which paid
the closest attention to the words of the
speaker, and the mastery way in which
the subject in hand was handled by
Professor Riddell, showed him to be a
student Of deep study and close appi-
cation.
The lecture last evening was on
christianity versus Agnosticism." 1t
was nearly all from a psychological
point of view, and although orthodox
yet it was scientific. Professor Riddeil
said in part as follows:
All truth seekers are trying to solve
the problem of how to be happy and
how to make others happy. Striving to
be happy by preservation. Striving to
be happy is helping others. And StriV-
ing to be happy by saving others.
We have before US the unsolved
problem of the man and the dollar.
Which is the larger. Which rules the
world.
we have before us the unsolved
problem of intemperance, of the house
of infamy, and the increasing crime.
Fifty years ago We had $500 of
population for every criminal. now we
have one for every $50 of population.
we have before US the unSOlVed
problem of suicides, which are on the in
crease.
How shall we make manly men and
womanly women? Godfearing men and
women who viii reach out to try to
save and help. is an unsolved problem
which cOnfrOnts US.
Solve the problem of mems spiritual
birth and spiritual growth and we will
destroy all crime.

Wherever there is truth and love, there

BRYAN'S SECOND ENTRY.
Leaves Washington For Another Trip
Into New ENGLAND.

New York, Jan. ga special to the
Herald from Washington says:
William J. Bryan spent a quiet Sun
day in this city and left in the evening
for Providence via New York.
Mr.. Bryan's visit to Providence will
be his second entry into New England,
and while he does not, of course, look
for substantial results from that sec
ton, he believes the indications from
his eastern reception will be of value to
the party throughout the country.
Il have been greatly pleased he
said, lat the interest manifested by
Democrats of the east in what 1 have
had to say upon the great issues be-
fore the people There is every evidence
of the return of very many men who,
Misunderstanding the issues of the last
campaign. went off to the enemy, and /
believe that as the real meaning of the
principle of the Chicago platform is
better understood by the people of the
east not only will we regain the Demo-
Gratis but will make serious inroads in
the ranks of our opponents"
Mr. Bryan does not believe that the
Republicans will hold out international
bimetallism in their platform of 1900.
He expects to see their platform declare
unequivocally for the gold standard.

wood-carving bv FiIipinos.

1From the San Francisco Chronicle.
There stands in the OLD walled city Of
Manila a church whose rare beauty
should win it a place among the famed
temples of the world 1t is the Church
of st. Ignatius of Loyoia, and, as the
name would indicate. was erected by
the Jesuit fathers. T34e ten years that
elapsed between 1879 and 1889 We're con-
sumed in its construction, and a success
that was truly artistic crowned the eff
fort of a decade. The exterior is Meth
er imposing nor artistic, but it was up
on the interior that effort was conferred
and few structures in the world can
boast of the perfect harmony of effect
that attained. Practically the entire
interior is done in the native hard
woods of the Philippine Islands, that
have been carved by master hands. A
remarkable fact in connection with the
work is that it was all done by natives.
The designs were all made in Europe,
and every credit is due the WOrk1nen
who so closely followed their models
This incident illustrates a peculiar trait
in the F'ilipinOS. They lack originality
but they are wonderful imitators. Give
their carvers a model and they will
duplicate to perfection. Let their
painters see a picture and they will re-
produce it on their own instruments.
Probably the most artistic piece of
carving in the church is the pulpit It
is a massive affair, affixed to one of the
giant columns close to the altar rail- On
its sides are q series of panels, upon
which have been carved scenes depic-
ting important scriptural events. The
pulpit has beautiful carved base, and
upon the outsr side of the balustrade arc
the figures of saints. The figures have
all been perfectly carved and there has
been a wonderful regard for detail Pro
portions are perfect, and the effect is at
once harmonious and artistic. A prod
igious amount of labor was expended
upon the pulpit. The Rev. Father Fran
cisco, one of the rectors of the church,
under whose direction much of the
work has been done, relates that the
| carving of the base of the pulpit con-
sumed two years and that the balus-
trade occupied nearly as much time.
Next to the pulpit, the ceiling, which is
entirely of carved wood, attracts the
most attention.
There are a series of intricate designs
that show the genius of art and the skill
| of the carver, and the effect is admira-
| Bile. The columns capitals and arches
have also been done in wood, and they
| too, enhance the beauty of the church.
| The altars-one main and two side-are
! also of wood, and show splendid speci-
/ mems of the skill of the carvers. The
! floor is also of wood, and the sheen of
| it's polish serves of heighten the general
/ effect Most of the wood used is malove,
best of all the so varieties of hard
woods that grow in the Philippines. It
! is capable of resisting any of the in
sects that attack wood, and neither
/ heat nor water affects it. Steel is the
only thing that will outlast it. 1t is so
hard that the fashioning of it is very
I difficult, but the excellent results OBJ
| tanned make it worthy of the effort
The art of wood carving has long been

FOR SUNDAY BEER.
DR.. Parkhurst Says Saloons Should Be
Kept Open Part of the Day.

New York, Jan. 29.-Dr Charles H.
Parkhurst, in an interview today de-
clared himself in favor of open saloons
on Sunday, during certain hours, for
the sale of soft drinks and beer.
The great object" Dr. ParkhurSt
tics. The Raines law, of course, is ut
terly worthless. There viii be three ad-
vantages derived from allowing the sa-
looms to remain open at certain hours
on Sunday. In the first place, it is not
50 degrading to public morals to have
an imperfect law on the statute books,
provided it is enforced, as it is to have
a more perfect law that is absolutely
ignored. In the second place, just SO
much opportunity would be taken away
for traffic between the police and the
laWbreakers. In the third place it would
secure US the undivided support of the
German population and a combination
between native Americans, Germans
and Hebrews ought to enable US to gain
a steady victory over Tammany.
of course the saloons would not be
allowed to sell whisky or any distilled
liquors on Sunday. But 1 think that if
they should be allowed to sell beer that
is all that the reasonable Germans would
ask.
of course this would arouse the op-
position of the temperance people. When
DR. Crosby took his position some years
ago he aroused bitter opposition, but
since that time there has been a con-
siderable grOwth-perhaps I should not
say grOwth-a considerable broadening
of public opinion in this respect. Those
who have had an opportunity to OBJ
serve the native beer drinking customs
of the Germans feel very differently
about these matters from those who
have never had this opportunity.
''Tammany, of course, does not want
Sunday opening law. Tammany
could not afford it -

jury Affected by cross-Eyes.

IFrOm the New YORK JOurndI.I
Cross eyes were the cause of a jury
disagreeing in the Hudson county IN.
j. cihcuit court. The case was that of
johnson against the North Hudson
County Railway company. This was the
third trial.
The plaintiff. Richard Johnson,4 years
old. sued through his father The child
was run down by trolley car while
crossing the street in front of his home,
in West HOboken.
The childs counsel attempted to
prove that the accident made the boy
cross eyed. Counsel for the company,
however, called the childs father and
sister, both of whom are cross eyed.
Then the jury disagreed. The case win,
however, be tried again.
