An Amended Renaissance.

The late dedication of the new
Methodist church in this city revives
the old story describing how Rev. J. F.
Revore, forty-aVe years ago. obtained
lumber to build the old church edifce
originally erected on the corner of
Fourth and Adams streets.
The story which is well known to
every old Olympian is going the rounds
OF the down-Sound papers, but its re-
cital lacks one quite prominent factor.
Rev. ]: F. Deyoe was sent to the
Western Washington country as 2
missionary in the early tfties, with
Olympia for It's headquarters. Of
eoprse, there was no Methodist church
building in the young capital city in
those primitive times, but Rev. Devore
haying secured nice corner lot beg an
casting apaut as how to erect a suitable
house of worship. One OF his initial
efforts was to go to Tumwater and So
licit a lumber subscription from the
sawmill proprietor of that little hamlet
The Seattle papers have it that the
mill was owned and operated by a
certain ''store Keeper" who said to
Devore, re yes. young man, you may
have all the lumber you can raft down
to Olympia in one day."
AS is we'll known to early settlers
here, the then young and stalwart
preacher appeared the next morning
bright and early in work clothes and a
lunch bucket in his hand.
BY the going down of the sun he had
actually built raft containing lumber
enough to erect the, church edifice
which has served from the time of its
completion, nearly half century ago,
up to date of last Sunday, when the
new church was dedicated. That fam
ous raft was foated down the Des.
chutes channel and lowed to point on
the beach near the foot OF Adams
street. So much for the story now
being told by those who know it second
hand only.
To render this little scrap of history
complete, the name of another ole
settler should be mentioned with due
fhonors.. The "store keeper" and null
owner at Tumwater who furnished the
lumber for the church and entered
heartily into the alleged "joke" perpe
trated by preacher Deyore, was Cap
tain Clanric Crosby, conspicuous
tcharacter of Thurstop county and the
whole Sound country in those days
With this amendment the story il
worthy of being listed as one of the
MANY cherished "reminiscences still
fresh In the minds of Western Wash
ington's brave and hardy old settlers

Death Of John J. Armstrong.

The somewhat sudden death of John
]. Armstrong, which occurred on Fri
day morning last at 2;4S, was a shock
to the family and his many friends
tie had been sick for several months
with that dread disease, consumption,
and while no hope was entertained of
his recovery, none thought the end
was so near. Jack, as he was Familiarity
called, was we'll liked and a general
favorite with all. His death is sad
blow ia the grief stricken family
and the sympathy of the COM
munity goes out to them in their deep
affection. The funeral took place
from the Catholic church on Sunday
morning at 10 O'Clock and was largely
attended,

THE QUESTION or LYNCHING.

The burning Of negro at the
stake in Alabama yesterday will
call forth the usual hypocritical
howl from the pharisees of the
North, who are always looking for
the mote in their brothers eye.
Everyone will admit that it was
a horrible proceeding, but those
who participated in it. were no
doubt, the best judges of its neces
sity. AS long as negroes assault
white women, negroes will be shot,
hanged and burned with almost
the universal approval of white
people everywhere. Taking it all
in all, perhaps burning is the bost

TROUBLE FOR MR. BULL.

Dispatches from London pub
lisbed in the metropolitan papers
last Sunday say that grave fears
are entertained by Englishmen
that another Indian mutiny is
imminent
A contrast in race character,
which history often reveals in the
ilashlight of single episode. is
hereby suggested the contrast be-
tween the Beers and the East In
dians.
The Beers never numbered over
100000 men, women and children.
They never had over 80, 600 fight
ing men. Yet it has taken nearly
two years and 100000 British
troops to even halfway subdue
these few South African farmers.
In 1867 the natives of India, all
of them as full of the spirit of re-
sentiment against British rule as
the Beers, numbered nearly 300,
100000. Over 10000 of this reb-
ellious host were men armed with
the best weapons England had to
give them, were organized in regi-
ments and fully disciplined as
British regulars at the time they
mutinied.
Yet with less than half the Brit
ish troops sent out to South Africa
the 800, 900 native soldiers of In
dia, with rebellious race num-
bering 30,000,00O in the back
ground fully sympathizing with
and helping them, were beaten in
nearly every battle. And in much
less time than it has taken to half
conquer the Beers that vast coun-
try and its swarming population
were utterly crushed and entirely
submissive.
