1t is claimed that people who live in

cry. Children who never visit the
country. it is argued, will not develop
into sturdy physical specimens if the
streets and alleys are their only play
grounds. Police returns also indicate
Il greater difficulty in handling children
and a greater tendency to crime among
them in districts where they are forced
to seek their amusement in the high
ways and byways of the city. Parks
located in thickly settled districts have
a tendency to eradicate the evil Of
oycrcrowding small area with dense
population.

men are arriving on every train,
and the work of the session will
really begin this week with the
committees on ways and means and
finance, called for the purpose of
considering the passage Of a bill for
reducing the war tax. 1t seems
thoroughly settled that the work OF
the session, in addition to the pas
sage of the appropriation bills and
other measures, will comprise the
passage Of an army reorganization
bill, ship subsidy bill. war reve-
nue. reduction bill, the Hay-Paunce-
forte treaty, reapportionment bill,
and the Spooner resolution giving
tae president full power until the
Philippine insurreetion shall have
ceased and permanent form OF
government be established.
There is some difference of opin-
4 m on Two or three matters, partIc-
ularly as to whether the reappor-
tionment bill shoald be accompan Ell
by provision cutting down repre-
sentation from the south, what

d ,eision given yesterday is the best
evidence that he was right and is
susceptible OF no other construction.
Revenue Inspectors Churchill and
Cobb are fortified by this decision.
They were obeying instructions |
along and collecting taxes but there
was not the 'scock-surenessv about
the matter until the news OF the de-
cision was received this morning.
Unless an appeal is taken by The
lawyers, which is not probable, there
will be nothing to shake the posi-
tion taken by the interior depart
ment and the tax collector will pro.
ceed as usual.
This will affect the lawyers only
so far as they know now that they
will be compelled to pay the tax.
They have not been delinquent, how
ever, for every lawyer in town has
paid up. and four.ffths OF those who

taxes, and Inspector Churchill says
that the decision will have a saIu-
tary effect. .-Muskogee Times.

Stock Bets Made Political

N. Y. Letter in the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 Betting on the election assumed another phase in Wall street yesterday. Specula- tors began selling puts and calls on stocks good until after the returns are known
 By this means election bets of money are hedged. The method was adopted in 1S96
 Then puts and calls on gold as we'll as stocks were bought and sold. Several large financial instutions engaged in the busil ness. It reached such proportions that New Workers took out of the London mar ket between a million and half and two million dollars on calls bought before elec- tion. Not only spectators, but investors, put money on gold calls in 1896, and the same thing is expected this fall. Holders of obligations not specifically payable in gold bought call on an equal sum of gold to be delivered the week following election, if they chose to demand it. The privilege cost comparatively little, but afforded pro- lection against a large loss. Russell Sage, who did a big business in privileges for merly, is paying little attention to it this campaign. Puts and calls are not recog- nized by the Stock Exchange. For that reason much of the business is transacted in London.

GOD GAVE HIS SON
 ID. SAVE MANKIND
"Whosoever Believeth in Him Shall Not Perish, But
 Have Eternal Life.

At the tent meeting al Kingston yester- day morning Dr. Mann took his text in John lii: 16. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.'
 Dr. Mann said in part: A stupendous problem had been precipitated; one so af- fecting the relation of man to man and man to God and eternal life as to render the solution of first importance So difficult was it that it required the combined wis dom and execution of the Triune God to solve 1t.
 Man had fallen d victim to the subtle snares of the enemy of God and of right eousness. Man had thereby created river of separation from God and happi- ness and heaven. Philosophy tried, but failed, to bridge this river so that man might recross to the side of eternal life and ceaseless joy. Science tried to bridge the chasm, and failed. Evolution sought tc reduce the deadly fracture, but also failed, as did all other efforts. But in this awful extremity the Son of God took it upon Himself to provide the means, and so secured the redemption of the human fam fly through the atonement. He wrapped the universe about with His redemptive grace and made it possible for all men to be saved through faith in Him. Such love, expressed in such unspeakable deeds as executed in Gethsemane and on Calvary call for the love of all men.
 The music, directed by Professor Hos klns, was inspiring. Dave Williams sang with touching pathos and assurance: Death Is No More Than a Dream" 1 Services every night this week at 7:3O o'clock.
