For the first service in the new church a
specially arranged musical program will be rem

Eugene Daniel, the pastor of the church, though

pulpit several invited ministers from other
points. Among these will probably be Rev. Dr.
John s. Watkins, who for twelve years PRIOR TO
Dr. Daniels pastorate was Ill charge OF lhe
church here.
The ladies of the church have raised funds for

GIFT FROM ELLEN TERRY.
Presents Bas-Relief of Herself to tho
section for the blind in the LIZ
brnry of Congress-.

Miss Ellen Terry has sent to Miss
Griffin, librarian for the blind in the
library of congress, beautiful bas-
relief of herself cut in Partisan mar
BILE from one of her most famous por-
traits, that her blind friends of the
capital may feel how she looks.
This tribute will be better UNDER
stood when it is known she visited the
pavilion where the blind read and play,
and where an entertainment is given
by the philanthropic women and men
of the city every afternoon. During
the visit she met and talked to the
blind and became SO enthused with
the work done FOR them she presented
each of the blind ones with ticket
for one of her performances. They
were wild with enthusiasm.
Miss Terry was so touched by their
emotion she sent word to have them
brought behind the scenes to talk with
her and Sir Henry Irving. Then. Miss
Terry laughingly described herself and
let them pass their hands over her
head. AS the ordinary picture was OF
no benefit to them in recalling one who
had SO endeared herself to them, she
promised something better. This was
fulfilled when the bas-relief came.

BREAKS UP HIS OWN FUNERAL
Mourning Suddenly Appears in
the Flesh.

A "foater" was picked up In the
river at ST. Louis and taken to the
morgue. There it was identified by
George La Barre as the body of Frank
Gruber, an employee of A. j. Lynn d Co.
Mr., Lynn was sent for and promptly
identified the remains as those of
Gruber, stating that he would notify
the dead mans brother, Louis Gruber.
In few moments Louis appeared, and
also identified the dead man as his
brother. He engaged an undertaken,
instructing him to convey the remains
to his residence, No. 1929 Olive street,
from whence the funeral would take
place just as soon as the inquest was
over. The afternoon was the time
set for the funeral and friends and
relatives of the Grubers gathered at
the residence.
The relatives were assembled in the
room to take last look at the face
of their dead when there burst into
their midst the genuine, original and
only Frank Gruber, alive and in the
flesh. In moment tears were dried,
grief changed to rejoicing. But what
was to be done with the corpse for
whom such handsome caslset had
been provided? The health depart
ment was rung up, dead wagon hur,
ried to the scene, and the corpse
stripped of the shroud that was in
tended for Gruber, was conveyed bacl
to the morgue and replaced on slab

PREVENT HAsTY MARRIAGES.
sembly Which Makes the Secur-
Ing of Licenses More biscuit.

A bill which is intended to check
hasty marriages within New York
state has been reported by the assem-
bly, committee on Judiciary. Because
of some amendments the bill has been
ordered reprinted for recommitment.
To attain the end in view the measure
provides that no marriage in New
York state shall be legal without ii,
properly acknowledged license. The
provisions of the bill were drafted by a
committee appointed by the conven-
ton of the Protestant Episcopal do
cese of New York, which was called
for this purpose at Elmira by Bishop
Huntington.
The manner of procuring marriage
license is dealt with in detail by the
bill. The licenses are to be issued by
the county clerk of the county where
either of the persons resides, or in the
county where the marriage is per-
formed. The applicants are to be
identified to the satisfaction of this
official, who is to inquire on oath or
affirmation relative to the legality of
the contemplated marriage. If either
of the persons is under 81 years of age
the consent of the parents is to be pre-
sented in priting.
Another provision of the bill is to
make mandatory the solemnizing of
the marriage by minister or other
person authorized by law to perform
the ceremony. Accordingly, upon the
license is to be printed the notice:
1.-THE issuing of this license does not
constitute a marriage, and the license
will be void if marriage is not sol
cmnized hereunder within 30 days
from it's date
TO insure against fraud the bill pro-
vides that if any marriage license shall
be issued or signed in any other man
ner than specified in the act by the
proper authorities, this officer shall
pay sum not exceeding $1,000 to the
party aggrieved. 1t is also to be con-
sidered misdemeanor for the person
solemnizing a marriage not to return
II duplicate license to the clerk within
80 days after the ceremony.

Trusts and the Republican Party

The recent republican state conyen-
tions have all placed strong antitrust
planks into their platforms. AS the
republican party is in control of all
branches of the federal government,
and as it has as yet made no positive
move toward the repression of the
the combinations which are the sub
ject of condemnation by republican
state conventions, it might seem as if
campaign meterial were being manu-
featured in abundance for the use OF
the oposition party.
1t is not to be supposed, however,
that the leaders of the republican par
~ are such poor politicians as thus tt
play into the hands of their oppon
ents. The state conventions that arr
adopting antitrust resolutions are il
close touch with the administration
at Washington. and in all probabilit.
there is a purpose back of the proceed
IRE.
The only reasonable inference to b.
drawn from the action of the Fepubli
can state conventions in favoring anti
trust legislation is that the republican
leaders intend congress to give appro
val to an antitrust plan that can b
be madeto do service for campaig
purposes Chicago Record.

A committee of the Ohio legislature
declared that Hanna secured his cleo

That charge has repeatedly been made
by responsible men. But the yirtuous

tates of man who is charged with
having made his elevation to the sena-
torship a matter of barter and sale.

Senator Coclkrell, of Missouri, who is

to get him to stand before one of these
instruments long enough to have his

the purpose of having their photo
graphs taken the Missouri senator was

CHARLES A. TowNE,
A Help and an Element of
Strength.

The nomination by the People Spar
ty of Charles A. Towne for the vice
presidency has caused much discussion
that has not been wholly tolerant and
fair. 1t was well known before the
Sioux Falls convention assembled that
Mr.. Bryan would be it's nominee fer
the presidency, and interest centered
| upon the vice-presidentia nomina ton.
Beyond any question the representa-
tives of the ruling influence in Demo
cratic affairs Strove to persuade the
convention not to make nomination
for second place, but rather to turn
the whole question over to the confer
encc committee which will meet with
the representatives of the democratic
party at Kansas City, July 4. But the
convention, actuated somewhat by a
not unjustitiable pride in the standing
of the Populist party, felt that nomi-
nation was essential to maintain the
| integrity of that organization. From
the day that the first delegate arrived
at Sioux Falls until the time that all
departed, there was not one word
heard on the streets of the little city
unfrendly to Mr.. Bryan. The conven-
tion was gathered with a sincere and
earnest purpose to advance Mr.. Bry-
an s candidacy in every wise way. 1t
is true that the way the convention
| Thought was wiSeSt was not the meth
cd which Democrats would have choS-
en-. But it is the duty of all men who
are enlisted in the cause of progressive
reform politics this year IT, accept the
action of the Sioux Falls convention
as taken in good faith. No man can
| tell how the Democratic convention at
Kansas City will receive the nomina-
| ton of Mr.. Bryan. That is matter
| which the delegates there must Ge-
| termine for themselves. But on the
other hand, nc one can fairly and hon
| orably raise any question us to the en-
tire good faith of the men who have
put Mr.. Towne in nomination. AS for

in everything except name. Among
the young men in our party there are
none who go beyond him in devotion
to the Democratic cause as it is today
defined. If his party affiliations are
other than Democratic, it is only be-
cause it has seemed wise for him TO
stand with his old associates, and his
| devotion to the cause Of progressive
Democracy is such that no Democrat
| will have the slightest apprehension
that his nomination, whatever may be
the action taken at Kansas City, will
result in any repetition of the unhap-
py and disastrous Tom Watson incl

COAL MINES IN INDIA.
Ne Danger of Fire Damp Exists 4,
Any of the Principal Pits of
That Country.

Coal-is widely distributed through
out India, except in Bombay and Sind,
the northwest provinces, and Oudh,
Rajputana and Mysore, where the
product is either scantily distributed
or entirely absent. The seams in Ben
gal and Assam are frequently from so
and 80 feet to as much as $50 feet in
thickness. The pits are often of con-
siderable depth. AT present the deep
est appears to be about 700 feet. In
many cases the working of the seams
leads to the escape of little or no fire
damp, SO that the miners are able to
work with naked lights. AT the pres
ent time Bengal produces more than
three-fourths of the coal mined in In
Ola. Indian coal varies much in COM
position and quality. Most of it is
quite suitable for ordinary purposes,
while some of the samples, e. q, GER
tain of these from Bengal and central
India, are of excellent quality, equal
to that Of the best British Goals.
The fixed carbon of the Bengal coal
ranges between so and 60 per cent, and
the calorific value exceeds 5000 caiories
equal to about ten British thermal
units-while the ash often does not
much exceed and in some instances
falls below ten per cent. and the sui
phur frequently present in but very
small proportion.
A great deal of the Bengal coal is
serviceable steam coal. Many samples
cake well and contain little sulphur,
and the coke is therefore suitable for
iron smelling.
