CHURCH AND GYMNASIUM.
Extensive Repairs tn the Presbyterian.-An
Outdoor Gymnasium Needed.

-
Outdoor Gymnasium Needed.
The repairs on the Presbyterian church
are about completed. The work that
has been done is of a substantial charac-
Ger. Twenty new brick piers have been
put under the church. so that now the
building is resting on a solid foundation.
Then It has been plastered and calsom-
ined.
The further repairs contemplated are to
revarnish the wood work, also putting
in new glass where needed, and the
fitting up of the large rear room as IL
gymnasium.
There has been over $50 spent already,
and To complete the work it will cost
about SIS more.
The gymnasium is principally for the
use of the children of tleCSunday school,
but il is not intended that anyone shall
be excluded that cares to come. 1t will
be open evenings To the general public,
and it is has been thought best TO charge
a small fee. For adults, 81 entrance and
p cents. per month; children, p cents
entrance and 10 cents per month.
The training of the children will be
conducted by Mr.. Hughes. The instruc-
ton will be in Indian club swinging and
physical culture, and dumb bells and
wand exercises will also bee a part of
the training
The Object of the work is Ia develop Il
symmetrical growth of the whole body
There will be no attempt at developing
special fcats of strength; hut the one
object above all others is health.
Mr.. Hughes desires it understood that
what he has done or intends to 10 l.

young men of our city are willing To

them all that he can. But in our de-

there il no necessity for us To wait Ia

open air gymnasium? This could br had
nt very little expense comparatively. \
vacant lot on the river front could b,

MILLIONS AT STAKE.


ST. LOUIS, Feb. 27.-The battle for pos
session of the famous Sublette estate in
this city began in Judge Woods division of
the Circuit Court to-day when the case of
Pension against Schleude, a suit for eject
ment. came up. Seven similar cases are
pending in the Circuit Court and they
will, it IS said, De determined in accord
snce with the decision in the suit of Penis
ten against Schleude. The property in
volved is bounded by Kings Highway, Old
Manchester road, Sublette avenue, and the
Missouri Pacific Railway tracks and is
valued at several million dollars. The
plaintiffs are suing as descendants of Pink
ney Sublette, heir at law of Solomon SUBJ
lette, and not as the heirs of Pinkney Sub
lette, resduary beneficiary of the purport-
ed will of Solomon Sublette. OF the evil
dence that the plaintiffs have collected in
support of their claim are slab and q
skeleton taken from a grave. supposed to be
that of Pinkney Sublette in Wyoming. The
slab bears Sublettes initials and the date
of his death. The latter is important and
goes to the gist of the action, for it must
be shown before the plaintiffs can establish
time of the death of Solomon Sublette.
Solomon Sublette was one of five brothers,
trappers, who lived here early in the his
tory of st. Louis and are known through
out the West.

BIG STRIKE PROBABLE
DEMANDS OF NACHINIsTS REFUSED
BY MANUFACTURERS.
Four to Ten Thousand Involved I'm
Chicayo-Sixty Thousand Else
where May Also BE Affected.

CHICAGO, Feb. 27-The Machinery Man.
ufacturers' Association voted unanimously
to-day TO refuse the demands of the ma
chinists' union for an increase in wages
and recognition for the union. This action
means the calling of a general strike by
the machinists' union either tomorrow or
Thursday. From 1900 to 10000 machinists
will be involved. Ii is expected that every
factory In the city will close down.
The effect of the action of the association
will not be felt in Chicago alone. Sixty
thousand machinists throughout the coun-
try have made practically the same de-
mands that the Chicago local union has.
and Il is expected the action taken by the
Chicago manufacturers will be takenS by
others in the United States and Canada
President p. w. Gates, of the association
said: 81 have little doubt that there Will be
a general strike of machinists. We expect
one will be inaugurated and action was
taken with this belief. Rather than submit
to their demands we will suspend work in
definitely. There are 10000 machinists In
this city and 1000 are members of the
union However, l think a majority OF all
the men will walk out. The number who
will continue on strike for any length or
time will be comparatively small. Every
factory in the city will have to suspend
operations IL a general strihe Is called. Tor
it will be impossible to continue work with
out machinists.''
