MODERN CHURCH IDEAS
Chinese Mission Work and Better
 Music to Be Introduced.

The up-to-date church is the success fuI church and it is on this theory that several new ideas are in process of in troduction at the First Methodist church in this city. The pastor, Rev. Dr. c. V. Cowan. is a fair sample of the fir de siecle minister and it is upon his suggestion that several novelties ale to be brought into church work this fall.
 It is the belief of Dr. Cowan, as eX- pressed to a Republican representative yesterday that if a small portion of the efforts bestowed by mission workers upon the Chinese in the Celestial em- pire proper, were expended upon the Chinamen in this country more direct and better results would be reached. To think is for Dr. Cowan tp act. and. following up his theory. he has organ iZed a Bible class of Chinamen. Mrs Keeney, a relative of Mrs. CoWan. is in charge of the class and there are now four members and an exceedingly good prospect for many more. Three Cf the four have already professed religion and the fourth is in a fair way toward renunciation of his heathenish views. Lue Hung Foo. who joined the church yesterday, by letter from the Prescott church, is a valuable acquisition to the home missionary work. He was fir twenty-five years engaged in mission ary work among Chinamen in San Francisco and is well fitted for his h. bors among the local Celestials. In cidentially it may be mentioned that Hung Foo is possessed of unusual in- tellect and good education. He has been a close observer of the present trouble in China and several weeks before the press had announced the safety of the ministers at Pekin told Dr. Cowan that the legations were protected in the Purple City and were closely guarded by imperial troops. from the Boxers. Hung Eco says that the Boxers may b. compared to the anarchistic element in America. The organization is com posed entirely of the lawiess element. and has only sympathy of the lower and outlaw classes and possibly Of tha dOwager who is intensely anti-foreign. Hung Foo believes that a convers' on of most of the Phoenix Chinamen is likelihood and that with the assistance of the local churches many cases in Bible study can be orgluizzd q and effect much good work. Dr. Cowan is enthu- siastic over the prospect and anti1i- pates immediate and lasting results from the innovation.
 The second theory which he will pat into practice is that more and better music is needed in the PhosniE churches. To remedy this in his church he has made plans for the organization of large chorus choir Mrs. T. Nj. Rogers of Newton, la, who has acquired an erviable reputation as q vocal instructor. will arrive next month and immediately form chorus

of from twenty five to fifty, or possibly more. and put it into training fir the winters work.
 ''I believe" said Mir Cowan, "that such plan will develop much vocal talent and prove most Ges rabe addi- ton to the church..
 Church people generally will agree with MT. CCwan, as it is q llmentaole fact that music has been sadly neglect cd in the lCcI places of worship. At none Of them has any great effort been made to provide really high class music and therein lies a lack of common busi- ness sense. The church. in it's own pc culiar way, is business proposition. Its success depends to a large extent upon the patronage it receives an1 when a pastor is popular the collection basket grows heavier thereby. and lighter on the contrary. The pastor is the first consideration and the music a second. If church can provide d good musical programme it draws la g <. congreg gatiOus and if harmony is ;ts scarce a quantity as at most of tIe Phoenix churches it cannot be expected but that the congregations will be con- fined to it's immediate members ani that many of these will wander to other churches where better music is pro vided. Dr. Cowan's plan is very worthy if imitation by other pastors and there is plenty of available musical talent for chuirs and choruSes.

MIR. BRYAN HAS NO SHOW
A Phoenician's Observation of the Politicial and Business Situation.

What did I notice in politics?' said MT. B. Heyman, who returned Sunday from a two months visit in the east and at san Francisco. his old home. last night. Well, about all that I had occasion to notice was this: That everywhere there was a unanimity of opinion, among all classes. that Mir. Me Kinley would be reelected by a ma jority tremendously larger than that of four years ago and a general feeling that Bryan's candidacy is a mere mat ter of form, a makeshift, put in front. as it were, to present a. semblance of opposition. In New York the silver men have no hope. Tammany has put on bold face, but Tamnany's hope is in New York city and has no expectation, and. in fact, has no great interest in the state.
 In the various states where I noted the situation, in only one has democ- racy a perceptible chance. In Indiana there has been a strong stand. rein forced by the enthusiasm aroused by Bryans notification at Indianapolis and other rallying occasions in the HoOsier state. It is the belief every
 
 west, that a western man is not de- sired in the east, as an occupant of the presidential chair. In California Bry- anism has depreciated in value. and I believe that McKinley's majority in 1896 will be at least trebled. Every where I could see that there was no real doubt of the general result and men who devoted all their attention to politics in the last campaign are attending strictly to their particular lines of business.
 ''Business itself is hardly as good as a year ago at this time, and this condi- tion is attributable to two causes. Campaign year, of course, is always a dull one in a commercial way and in the second place prices of nearly all things are about as high as they will go and there will not be heavy buying until there is absolute necessity for ac- tion. Prices may fall. but not greatly. and I anticipate heavy trade in all lines by November l."
 MT. Heyman states that he has wis ited San Francisco nearly every year during the past twenty and has never seen the coast metropolis in such prosperous condition.
 "The heavy shipments of troops to and from the Philippines are largely responsible for this" said he, "as at nearly all times there are large num- bers of soldiers either going or coming and requiring purchases. You know that the German government is buying heavily of American horses for army use. and one order for 5000 is now be ing filled in San Francisco. This order has been a GodsenI to western horse owners and they are getting from $40 to $50 for mediocre lot of animals. It is an interesting sight to watch the breaking of the horses and nine or ten Arizona cowboys are employed among the men who are preparing the horses for use.'
 Mir Heyman says that Arizona is rapidly acquiring fame in the east and that every year he notices increased

 The fact that it requires from five to seven cars to transport the stage eff fleets. the thousands of dynamite shells and bombs, rockets, electrical pieces, that fifty trained men travel with the exhibition and three hundred men are required to carry out the thrilling bat tie scenes and to display the enormous st pieces and electrical effects, Is enough to make all realize that We are to witness a fiery eruption which will thrill and arouse the patriotism of eV- cry citizen and give our school chll- dren an object lesson that will never be forgotten.

There is no question in my mind as to the advisability of bonding the county for the $5OO,OOO in stock neces- sary t. Secure the reservoir; in fact. We could easily afford to give bonus of that amount if necessary.

ORIGIN OF KISSING

A saving common sense is as whole
Some in science as elsewhere The re-
tinements of absurdity into which scien-
tine men sometimes follow their re-
searches has often laid them open TO
the ridicule of unscientltic but sensible
men. A case In point is the discussion
regarding the origin Of the practice IF
kissing in which scientists, led by
Cesare L0mbroso. the Italian criminoi-
osist, are now engaged
LombroSo declares that Hector did not
kiss Andromache, nor Paris Helen, nor
Ulysses Penelope. He declares that
kissing originated in the practice Of
mothers in Terra del Fuego, where he
asserts drinking vessels are not known,
of Killing their mouths with water and
transferring it thence to the mouths Of
their babes. This. he surmiseS. the
mothers learned by observing birds feed
their young. This genesis OF fhe prac-
tee Of kissing has been questioned by
some OF Lombroso's fellow scientists
and one of them asserts that the prac-
tee originated in Rome with husbands
who desired 10 ascertain surreptitiou>ly
whether or not their wives had been
drinking wine.
1t Is hard for a man who has never
noted the absorption with which 4
scientist pursues his game to believe
that Lonbroso and his fellow scientists
are serious In their discussion. The
story told of Isaac Newton. who enun-
ciated the law Of universal grayita-
ton, that he ordered two holes cut in a
door TO admit OF the entrance of his
cats, one big hole for the mother eat and
one small hole for the kitten. is entirely
credible. So is the story of the tall
mathematician who. finding the hotel
bed too short, discovered by dint Of ex-
tended figuring that by lying diagonaily
be would have room enough
Such scientists would probably. If
oll"e fairly started on the quest, reason
with great erudition as to how the prac-
tice of walking or seeing or eating
originated.
While the scientists are piuncing deep
into ethnolOsic maZeS TO discover how
tile practice of kissing originated the
unscientiiic but sensible man. who dis
covered the practice for himself without
observing birds or Terra del Fue-ans,
looks on with Il smile of superiority like
that with which the lad told the archaic
oioSist who WIS cherishing scrap Of
