A BIG STRIDE IN CHURCH-BUII.DING.
"A prominent clergyman in Colum.

Baptist Church of that city, has had
his church wired and telephones
placed in the homes of his parish.
oners, SO that those who might prefer it
could listen to his sermons and
church service while enjoying the
comfort and privacy OF their homes.
He has likewise transformed the in
terror into the form Of a theater, even
to the furnishing of boxes. 1t is
probable that the pastor, Rev. H. H.
Pastor took the idea of telephone
worship from Bellamy's wonderful
book "Looking Backward" and the
adoption of some of the comforts of
the theater in the arrangement OF
seats for ease to eye and ear as we'll as

comforts of the straight.backed ortho.

after the architecture adopted for the
drama from evolution of the pan theon

How CORPORATIONS LOVE BRYAN
That the trusts love Bryan was dem.
onstrated this week, when the n. P
Railway fixed $195 as the expense Of
running special from Tacoma to
Olympia-about 80 miles-to bring
that distinguished gentleman here and
afford time for him to make an address
before the departure of the MONDAY
"jerkwater" to Tenino, and catch the
overland for Portland. This is about
twice the ordinary rate, and seems the
more extortionate from the fact that
no necessity would exist for a "spe.
cial" should the company arrange for
its regular Tacoma and Gray's Harbor
train to arrive on schedule time-1O 80
A. NJ. This it seldom does, and it
would of course be late on that day,
even if the mixed" train did not stop
to drive cows off the track. 1t may be
that the people, in the course of time,
will be enabled to demand simple JUS
tice which is now refused under hum.
BILE entreaty.

The Oregonian is authority for
statement of an amusing mistake
made by an Eastern man, the other
day, while talking with some gentle
men who were connected with mining
enterprises. They seemed to be OF the
opinion that a smelter would prove a
good investment and one should at
once be established in Portland.
Tenderfoot had taken little part in
the conversation, but he here broke in
with the astounding objection: az
cannot see what use you would put a
smelter to, ii one was built. 1 under
stand that smelt never reach Portland
at all, as they are in the habit OF run

The AMERICAN GIRL, IN GoLD.-A
statute of Maud Adams, the actress
was cast in gold, in New York, last
week, to represent "The American
Girl" at the Paris Exposition. The
statute weighs 100 pounds and is
worth $4,000. It is six feet tall, a
foot higher in stature than the model.
Miss Adams weighs 100 pounds avoir.
dupois and her weight in gold" is
therefore much less than the value OF
the statute-one-seventh, or about
$24,OOO. The silver statute OF Ada
Rehan, cast several years ago, weighed
2,OOO pounds. and cost with its gold
base $250,OOO.

chief tuglemen sprang to their feet,
and the first effort made was to refer
the resolution to the committee on
Platform for decent but speedy inter.
ment, notwithstanding they had made
their report and been discharged from
further duty. The point was urged
and sustained. Then a motion was
made which it was thought would dis
pose OF the resolution without debate,
but the Bourbon in the chair had too
! much OF the spirit of true Democracy
still left in him to suppress freedom of
speech, especially when it related to
the cause OF national indepen dence,
and he allowed Mr.. K. the floor to
deprecate the decadencc of public SEN
timent, when sympathy for the poor
and downtrodden people of any nation
fails to find response from American
citizens. This was the first time he
had ever witnessed reputation OF such
sentiments in a Republican conven-
ton. The speaker was evidently car
rying the convention from the motion
under consideration, which was to in
definitely postpone, and the machine
politicians became exceedingly restless

verberated through the the sacred edi-
flee, when Pete Mckinzie, OF Mud Bay,
could no longer submit to have the
programme mapped out so ruthlessly
marred. He arose, and in stentorian
tones called the speaker to order, and
in stating his point began q harrangue
in support of McKinley's imperialistic
ideas; whereupon Mr.. Newsum, also of
Mud Bay, jumped from his seat, caught

seems, however, that this little episode
knocked the "ginger" entirely out OF
the Boer champion, for he sat down
without further attempt at elaboration
of his theme. Then A. J. Falknor,
the rising young statesman of the par
ty, arose, and with much vehemence of

ed to be tremulous from suppressed
emotion, proceeded to read Mr.. r. out

ton to be entirely out OF place in Re-

admission that the premises were ca.

A CASE of deliberate suicide of q
horse comes from Danbury, Conn.
The animal manifested an ungovern-
able repugnance to being shod, and
had to be thrown upon his side and
tied down when shoes were put on
him. The other day his master took
him from the field, where he had been
running barefooted for the season,
and led him to town to be shod. On
nearing the blacksmith's shop, the
horse stopped, and no urging could
compel him to 60 a step nearer the
forge. He trembled violently and
manifested every indication of terror.
Suddenly he reared on his hind legs
and threw himself head foremost on
the curbstone, fracturing his skull.
He then raised himself on his fore legs
and struck his head against the curb
again and rolled over dead.
