M. E. TABERNACLE.
Plans Under Way on Gigantic
Scale in Chicago.

Chicago, Aug. 1.-The Record says:
Trinity Methodist church took action
last night at a meeting OF the quarterly
conference which is expected to result
ultimately in the organization in Chi
cago of a great institutional church
modelled after the famous Metropolitan
tabernacle of New York This institu-
tional church is to control 1000, 900
worth of Methodist church property on
the south side. embracing the following:
First Methodist church. Wabash ave
npe and Fourteenth street property,
Trinity church property. Indiana ave-
nue. and Thirtieth street. Marie Chapel,
Wentworth avenue and Twenty third
street, training school for home and for
eign missionaries Indiana avenue and
Fiftieth streets. Wesley hospital and
Northwestern Medical school; two mis-
sions.
The first step in the direction of this
amalgamatiOn was the authority voted
to the trustees of the First church TO
purchase the Fifth Presbyterian proper
ty at Indiana avenue and Thirtieth
street, paying therefore SIS, 500. The trus-
tees of Trinity were enthusiastic but re-
ticent-
President Hfginbotham said:
The plans are in the germ and not
sufficiently outlined to work on
None of the trustees would admit that
it was the intention to erect a great tab
ernacle on the site of the old Fifth Pres
oyterian property, but none would deny
that such plan had been discussed.
Whether it will be there or some
where else we can not say at this time
said one For the very good reason we
do not know as yet It will take many
months to get things in shape to do
anything in the line of building It is a
sweeping undertaking-the greatest at
tempt ever made by a church in the
west There first will be the complete
and the disposition of all the vast pro-
perty interests

WHAT PURCHASE MEANS.
Santa Fe Has Valuable Property in
the sKaysee- Road.

Chicago, Aug. 1.-The addition of the
Gulf, Kansas City and Beaumont, known
as the "Kaysee-'' to the Santa Fe sys-
TEN means that ultimately there is to be
a fight between the Huntington interests
as against all other lines for the possess
sion of the desirable territory in Texas
For the present II means that the Santa
Fe officials are going to put forth great
rrict of eastern Texas 1t is estimated
that there are over 1000. 900 cars of stand
ing lumber contiguous to the "Kaysee''
and that the pine forests of this territory
are sufficient to supply the demand for
fifty years to come.
The line, a portion of which is still I'M
der construction, comes within fifty miles
of the SomervilIe branch of the Santa F'e
at Merriam, Texas. 1t is the purpose Of
the company, If the Gulf and Interstate is
not purchased to build the connecting link
and-thuS furnish a direct route northwest
for the products of the forest In the
meantime it is probable the Gulf and In
terState will be used TO bring the lumber
to Galveston where it can be delivered
to the Gulf. Colorado and Santa F'e road.
The Santa Fe runs through Oklahoma,
Texas, Indian Territory, Kansas, NebraS-
ka, Colorado and other western states
which need lumber badly. The pine for
ests of east Texas are full of possibilities
in the. way of supplying this demand The
.'kaysee''- will soon be completed to Jas
per. construction being under way from
Jasper to San Augustine, a distance of
fifty miles, and the ultimate destination
is said to be Paris, where it will connect
with the Santa Ee, Frisco, Texas and Pa
cidc and Texas Midland lines.

will not be compelled to borrow equip

of the Kansas roads, regardless of what
their freight equipment represents. will
be able to supply the demand for cars
for the transportation of wheat.
The wheat movement may be said to
be only starting at this time, but the
railroads are now taxed to keep up with
the demand Within few weeks the

STATISTICS WHILE you EAT.
Union Pacific Provides Dining Car
Patrons With Information.

For the dissemination of practical sta
which IL BASES the Union Pacific has
taken up the idea of furnishing its dining
car patrons such facts, briefly written
and cleverly arranged on heavy durable
cards, illustrated each on the opposite
side with an illustration of a bit of the
magnificent scenry along the line For
instance, there is a brief treatise on irri-
cation and its results in the west; facts
concerning the Union Pacific land grant
and the acreage sold. and that yet for
sale and awaiting settlement; statistics
on the acreage and yield each of corn,
wheat and oats for each Of the states
tributary to the system, and the hogs,
cattle and sheep owned in the same states.
The information about Kansas is taken
from reports of Secretary Coburn, of the
state board of agriculture, and shows the
state to be at the head OF all through
which the road passes.

declare is one of the greatest improve

Mr.. Vanderbilt expects that there will

EATING AND LIVING.
The individual who considers the sub
ject of ca ing of secondary consideration,
ignores, willfully or through ignorance,
a primary duty to himself. for which
omission he is sooner or later sure to
realize that nature keeps a strict ac-
count of the uses made of her bounty
One need not be of necessity gor-
mand to enjoy good living But one must
understand the meaning of eating to
live to be able to live wisely and well.
RELATION OF FOOD TO MAN.
The preventive of disease and the
maintenance of health are now subjects
with which most of US are becoming
more or less familiar. Modern science
has disclosed the fact that a reciprocal
relation exists between the physical
force supplied by the food we assimilate
and the mental energy displayed by the
BRAIN Thus far we have learned that in
order to keep all our powers in good
working order and enjoy the blessing of
a sound mind in sound body, we must
have perfect and robust health. Without
an ample supply of pure and healthy
blood, the prafn is incapable of doing its
best work In these days when brain
labor OF the severest kind is SO often re-
quired to win success in the battle of life
the man or woman who aspires to be
more than a pIodder must have sound
body and perfectly healthy and vigorous
intellect.
THE QUESTION OF DIET.
Therefore the question of diet has as
stunned a position of greater importancein
the minds of all who study into cause
and effect than at any previous period
in the history of man. No student of
human nature can fail to recognize the
wisdom md Importance of widely dis
seminal ting correct ideas on the subject
of the correlation existing between food
and healthy population, as well as the
effect of food upon the moral nature.
