The Floral and Electrical Display at

There Is a saying that FLOWERS are

pronounced as rare combination OF
both. for never yet at an exposition

Perhaps nothing has been more talk
ed about than the color scheme oftkhe
Pan-American. 1t was a daring thing
to attempt to array In colors the ex-
tensive buildings OF this Exposition. for
scarcely any precedent existed for such
an undertaking, and to attempt IL and
fail would be disastrous indeed. 1t
was out of the question to duplicate the
White City at Chicago. Something alb
solutely new must be devised for the
Pan-American at Buffalo. Happily the

problem, and now that II has been
solved and the color scheme is seen TO

Universal Christianity.

VI the HSntnlnSS are In Great Britain
and the United States. In London and
New York the lightnings are stabbed,
waiting to be harnessed for some quick
dispatch. That shows you that the tel
egraph Is In the possession of Christi
anity.
1t Is a significant fact that the man
who invented the telegraph was an old
fashioned Christian, Professor Morse,
and that the man who put the tele-
graph under the sea was an old fash
Toned Christian, Cyrus w. Field, and
that the president of the most famous
Of the telegraph companies of this
country was an old fashioned Chris
tian, William Orion, going from the
communion table on earth straight to
his home in heaven. What does all
that mean?
l do not suppose that the telegraph
was invented merely to let us know
whether -four is up or down or which
horse won the race at the Derby or
which marksman beat at the latest
contest l suppose the telegraph was
invented and built to call the world to
God.
In some of the attributes of the Lord
We seem to shave on a small scale. For
instance, In his love and In his kind
ness. But until of late foreknowledge,
omniscience, omnipresence, omnipo-
tence, seem to have been exclusively
Gods possession. God. desiring to make
the race like himself. gives us species
of foreknowledge In the weather proba-
bilities, gives us species of omnisci-
ence in telegraphy, gives us species
of omnipresence In the telephone. gives
us a species of omnipotence In the
steam power. Discoveries and inven-
lions all around about us, people are
asking what next?
/ will tell you what next Next, n
stupendous religious movement. Next,
the end Of war. Next, the crash OF des-
botisms. Next. the worlds expurGa.

1t is a matter of official statement
that there is due the city of Whining
ton upwards of seventy to seventy-ive
thousand dollars of back taxes for the
years including and previous to 1898.
We can collect out of this back tax

State Auditor Dixon today received a
letter from the clerk of the court Of
Randolph county, returning a pension
warrant for S14.50 issued to w. H.
Steele. with the statement that the lat
ter refuses to accept it because he is
worth over $500. does not need it and
wishes it to go to some more needy
veteran. Auditor Dixon says this is the
hrst warrant thus returned.
EX-State Treasurer Worth says he
has received the notice from Treasurer
Lacy Of demand for the $16,O 60 which
Clerk w. H. Martin stole and that he
has placed h letter in the hands OF
his attorney, James H. Pou. By order
of the council of state the treasurer has
advanced to the p~enitentiary the money
Martin stole from that institution. The
advance came in good time, as the
money was at once used in reducing
the penitentiary debt, which is now
only ST. 900.

July 18th the examination for admis-

college here will be held in each coun-
ty. President Winston says these will
be for 120 general and 120 special agri-
cultural scholarships. There is an al
lowance also of $1,000 for agricultural
work by students and there is 81. 500
available to pay them for other work.
There is great need of dormitory ROOM.
He says ten more cottages are needed.
He likes the cottage system. There is
now dormitory room for only 100 stu
dents, but $50 are to be sheltered in
some way. He says if there was room
at least 500 students would apply with
out a circula being sent out, while if
speeches were made in each county and
the papers would take up the matter
there could be easily 1000.
1t is said by a Seaboard Airline
official that 10 men are now at work in
the shops here. only on light repairs,
and that some are old and some are
new ones.
One of the questions which will come
up later on will be whether a holder OF
bank stock who has liabilities can, in
listing his property fol- taxation deduct
his liabilities from the bank stock.
Heretofore this has been done This
time the state auditor will nave to fix
the value of the stock. Then the mat
ter comes up before the county commits
sioners and will be reviewed by the
corporation commission.
