w. f. Thornton has discovered stone

w. E. Thornton has discovered stone
ledge that he thinks will prove highly
valuable for building purposes. 1t is al
most as white as marble and of uni
form color. There is no difficulty in
quarrying it as it is SO soft as to be
more easily sawed than wood but be-
comes hard upon the application of an
inexpensive preparation which he has
been experimenting with. He thinks
for finishing work especially it will be
greatly in demand and there is even al
most an inexhaustible supply for the
construction of buildings. One of the
main points in favor of its being cheaply
utilized is that the ledge is within easy
distance of the railroad and of this city.

SHOWS NEW VITALITY
NEW YORK CLERGYMAN ON PRO-
POSED REVISION.

NEW YORK, June 3.-In his baccalau-
reate sermon before the members of the
graduating class of the New York uni
versity today Chancellor McCracken
commented upon the movements for re-
vision Of the Presbyterian creed.
"The Attitude of the Thinker Toward
Religious Truth" was the subject Of his
sermon. In commenting upon church
problems he said:
"In this closing year Of the century
Methodism has shown a new vitality in
resolving to lay aside one of the famous
methods by which she obtained the name
Methodism. Compulsory itineracy has
been Judged by her no longer the strong
or desirable pillar of the truth. She has
quietly put it aside. Presbyterianism in
like manner has this same year shown
new vitality in refusing to consider her
ancient creed that attempts to establish
a definite chronology of the workings Of
the divine intellect while it forgoes al
most entirely to mention the divine
heart. Such a creed is not the best pos
sibIe pillar or support of religious truth
THE church today is resolved to build
a new pillar and support that shall stand
side by side with the old. The old may
remain also as an antique, honored and
cherished, but yet an antique. To build
a new pillar is both easier and better
than 20 try to piece out the old, than it
were to put new cloth into an old gar
ment."

RETIRE TO MOUNTAINS.
WhitfOrd White Thinks the Beers
Will Take That Course


CHICAGO, Jurc ST have no commu-
nications with the Transvaal and cannot
make a statement as to what the Beers
propose to do now. They had planned
first to defend Pretoria and then retire
to the mountains, or else to give up the
capital and take directly to the noun
tains. 1t appears as if they are adopt
ing the latter course"
So declared Montagu White, Transvaal
agent at London, who came to Chicago
in advance Of the Boer ENJOYS. When
asked if the Beers would continue the war
to the extent of waging a guerrilla con-
f1ict Mr.. White replied:
What else can they do? They can
get no terms from the English; Salisbury
will not leave them a shred of independ-
ence. Even if the situation is impossi-
BILE in a military sense, politics dominates
it, and the mountain warfare is the only
alternative. They can keep up some sort
of resistance there for year.
Commenting on the terms the Beers are
ready to make with England, Mr.. White
said: independence is a sine qua non.
I know we would give up the dynamite
monopoly, give the franchise and liberal
education and language also. We would
disarm Also to a certain extent, but we
will not stand the suZerainty.''

NEPOTISM IN COMMISSIONER PECK'S LIST

WASHINGTON, D. c., June 3-Com-
missioner General Ferd w Peck is not
faring particularly we'll at the capitol
these days. His situation was not i'm
proved by his report sent in through
Secretary Hay. 1t includes a list of Paris
expo SitiOn appointees, with details Of eX-
pcnditures fer the firss three months of
1906
Ir view of the facts y hich arc disclosed
ty the E-1ormation sent to the senate
Comniissiort General Peck seems sar-
castle when he remarks, as quoted by Sec
retary Hay:
I'm making all appointments the fitness
of the individual to perform the service
required has been the main consideration
and the question of geographical residence
and party affiliations has been purely in
cidental."
1t is true, anyway, that his son, Ferdi-
nand w. Peck Jr., appears on the rolls
at a salary of $4,000 a year; that the son
of Admiral Crowninshield is a clerk at
$1,000 a year; that Mr.. Peck's son-fn-law
is another official at a good salary and
that w. w. Brackett, the son or nephew
Of Secretary General Bracket, is a clerk
at 81, ,48O a year. Indeed, the whole list is
one long example of nepotism, to say
nothing of government employees on the
rolls in Washington who are also on the
rolls of the exposition.
The sum of $211. .5S3 was expended during
January, February and March, making
a total of $60S, ,2SS accounted for out of the
SLAB, 1856 which has been appropriated
During the three months the salaries paid
aggregated $50, 139 and the travelling ex-
penses $23, ,206.
In addition to the regular salaries, the
sum of $1O625 was paid out for temporary
services of employees with $500 more for
temporary draughtsmen.
One of the most interesting items of
expenditure is the following:
Miscellaneous expenditures-news-
papers, press clippings, photo
graphs, card engraving, messen-
ger service, cab hire, express and
freight charges ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. $50, ,004
The item of travelling expenses, when
| analyzed, presents some interesting fig
ures For instance, Commissioner Cen
| eral Peck spent $1.202 in three months,
while Secretary General Fred Bracket,
who is supposed to be stationed in Paris,
| Travelled to the extent of $412 worth
Tarleton H. Bean drew $500 for travel ex-
penses, and Director of Affairs Black
mar managed to get upon the list for
1852.

Johannesburg is quiet. The people are

RIOTING IN ST. LOUIS
NINE HUNDRED DEPUTIES NOW
UNDER THE SHERIFF..

ST. LOUIS, Mo, June "a riot of
small proportions, during the progress of
which boy was fatally shot, and dy-
Mantle explosion marred what would
have been otherwise an uneventful Sab
bath.
AS a car on the Tower Grove line of
the st. Louis Transit company was pass
ing the corner of Twelfth and Calhoun
streets a crowd of strike sympathizers
began throwing stones at it. An un-
known man leaned from a window of the
car and fired a revolver shot toward the
crowd. The bullet sped over the heads
of the mob and lodged in the breast of
Peter Frank, aged sixteen, who was
sitting In the doorway of his fathers
house. A detachment of police dispersed
the rioters and carried young Frank to
the city hospital, where, it is said, the
wound will prove fatal
Late this afternoon an explosion of
dynamite shattered the cable conduit
the intersection of Maryland and Boyle
avenue. No one was injured, but traffic
en- that end of the line had to be sus-
pended There is no clue to the perpe-
traitors
More than the usual quota of police
was furnished for the protection of pas
sengers and crews, and as a result the
fIuihDeI VI cars OH the various lines OF
the transit company was materially in
creased.
Cars on the following lines were ope-
rated: Delmar avenue, Page avenue
Spading avenue, Compton Heights
Chouteau avenue, California avenue
Tower Grove, Grand avenue, Easton av-
enue, Cass avenue, Olive street, Broad
way, Fourth street, Sixth street, North
ern Central and Union.
This morning at $3.50 o'clock the nu-
cleus of the First regiment of special de-
tectives, forming Sheriff Pohlman's s
posse consisting of ten companies of
sixty men each, armed with riot shot
guns, were assigned to active service in
preserving order in the continuance of
the street car strike. The duties consist
ed in patrolling the streets and doing
guard duty at the various power houses
and car sheds.
The work of subpoenaing citizens con-
tinued uninterruptedly today.
There were 32S additional deputies
sworn in Saturday, and about 200 today,
which, with the ASS already sworn in,
gives the sheriff a total force of 800 men
to assign to active duty in response to
the call issued yesterday by President
Hawes, of the police board
