Broken Bric-a- Bra cs,

Mr.. Major. the famous cement man. of New
York. explains some very interesting facts
about Majors cement
The multitude who use this standard article
know that is it many hundred per cent. better
than other cements for which similar claims
are made, but a great many do not know
why. The simple reason is that Mr.. Major
other manufacturers do not use them be-
cause they are too expensive and do not allow
large profits Mr.. Major tells us that one of
the elements OF his cement costs So Is a mound
and another costs 81 IS gallon, while a large
share of the So-called cements and LIQUID
glue upon the market~are nothing more than
sixteen-cent glue, dissolved in water or citric
color and odor by the addition of cheap and
useless materials.
Majors cement retails at fifteen cents and
twenty-five cents a BOTTLE and when dealer
tries to sell substitute you can depend upon
it his only object is to make larger profit.
The profit On Majors cement is as much as
any dealer ought to make on any cement
And this is doubtly true in view of the fact
that each dealer gets his share of the benefit
OF Mr.. Majors advertising. which now
amounts to over $4,000 month throughout
the country. Established in 1876

To Recover $4,000.

Oshkosh, Wis, May 9.-The
suit brought by the heirs of the
late Abby S. Harris to recover
SIS, 900 left by her to the city of
Oshkosh to found new public
library was argued in circuit
court before Judge Burnell dur
ing the week. Burr w. Jones
of Madison is one of the attor-
neys for the plaintiffs and he be-
gan his argument yesterday
afternoon, continuing it this fore
noon.
The test of the case seems to
hinge on the technical point as to
whether a public library is a
public charity. The citizens OF
Oshkosh are not worrying about
the matter and believe there is
noquestion but what the bequest
will stand. The city has engag-
ed Col. Gabe Bouck for the de

Pigs to 90 to sea.

West Superior, Wis, May g.
Whaleback barges and steamers,
built at West Superior by the
American Steel Barge company
before the latter concern was
absorbed by the ship building
trust, will sail the Atlantic this
summer. 1t has been cOnfidant-
ly expected for years that such
would be the case some time, and
that the whalebacks would be an
important factor in the ocean
carrying trade. Several boats
of this type have been on the
ocean and have met with no little
success but until now they have
not cut much figure.
Whaleback barges owned by
Rockefeller, are now, however
in the ocean earring trade and
some are enroute to Europe hav-
ing been refitted at New York
for sea service. Their success
is anticipated, but it is not ex-
pected that any more will be
built here, as the trust people
closed down on this kind of boat.
It would seem, however, as
though there was a possibility
that some might be built nearer
the Atlantic, if the experiment of
putting them in the ocean carry
ing trade proves to be what is
expected of it.

TUG Firemen Win a Strike.

Superior, Wis, May 6. The
strike of the fremen on Captain
Barker's- tugs has been settled
and government contract work
on the harbor was resumed again
this morning. There were but
fourteen striking fremen, but
it was a great plenty to effect
ually tie up about twelve tugs,
seven big dredges and seven
scows. The men were getting
$40 a month and their board and
they asked for a raise of S. per
month. The matter was finally
compromised on the $45 a month
and board basis.

Oshkosh, Wis, May 3.-The
body Of Mrs. Hoag, aged 90
years, was found in the river this
morning about two blocks from
her home. Mrs. Hoag was the
mother-in-law of Carlton Foster,
the well known lumberman, and
had resided in his family for the
past thirty-six years. 1t is be-
ieved that she got up in the
night and wandered down to the
river for walk and fell in. Her
friends scout the idea of suicide
and claim that she was an optim-
istic disposition and that there
was no cause however for her
taking her own life.
The body was discovered
about 5 o'clock this morning by
a steamboat hand.

, ST. Louis tornado came along and took
away with ii two of the walls Of the hand
some chapel that occupies the south part
of the lot. That damage was soon repaired;
but even since then the congregation has
been taking accidents into account when
1t made its plans.

souri, and Lafayette avenues. The lot was
bought about 1890 by Southern Methodists.
chief among whom were Mr.. Richard NJ.
Scruggs, Mr.. Samuel Cupples. Mr.. A. f.
Wallace, Mr.. Murray Carleton and Mr.. 3.
| NJ. Kennard. The late Doctor T. NJ. F1nney
was Presiding Elder Of the church for this
district at the time. and 1t was chiefly to
! his efforts that the resolution to establish
a church in that part of the city was due.
4 handsome chapel was erected on the
south side of the lot. 1t was built substan-
tally of stone and brick. and the congre-
CATION began worship in it early in the last
decade of the last century. The congrega-
ton was a large one. and intended to soon
! complete the building that had been planned.
There was some money in the treasury for
this purpose early in 1896 and preparations
were being made to build. But on May q
the tornado came, scattered two Of the walls
over half an acre of ground and deferred
the completion of the church.
At that time the Reverend E. B. Chapel
was pastor. He had succeeded the Rever-
end Doctor S. II. Werlein. who had come
here from New Orleans to be the first pas
tor of the new church. He set to work and
soon the chapel was rebuilt. Doctor Wer-
lein had become pastor of Centenary Church
and later was Presiding Elder Of the dis
trict. He now has a pastorate in Kansas
City, but is at present in Palestine touring
the Holy Land.
Doctor Chapel is now in Nashville. Tenn,
as pastor of the West End Church. After
him. in 1898. came the Reverend Doctor c.
f. Pattillo, who had been pastor of the
First Methodist Church at Little Rock, Ark.
Last summer the church found itself with
sufficient money on han to begin building.
An effort had been made to move the church
to the corner of Grand and Russell avenues. |

international peace than any other Influence
during the last five years: but such an
award would be an obvious perversion of
the testator's wishes. NJ. Vasili Verestcha-
| gin, the famous Russian painter, has also
! been mentioned, and Verestchagin is not
, easily disposed of. Verestchagin is a living
contradiction. Though war has made him
famous. and though he has won high honor
on the battlefield. no man has dealt war a
deadlier blow than he. He has helped to
bring home to humanity the misery and
sickeninS horror that must always accom-
pany the conflict of two armies of men
whose orders are to cut one another down
like grass. He has shown US war as 1t is
on the field of death. not as it exists in the
mind of the lad who bankers after a red
coat. War. to Verestchagin, is not a spec
tacle to fill the soul with patriotic pride.
but a display of savagery, a glastly butch
cry. a. game which men with hearts and
brains ought to have abandoned long ago.
1t Is natural that such a man should have
given to the world a picture of Napoleon
that is all his own. He has presented the
emperor to the world in a new light. We
see him In our picture at work on his great
picture painting of the Master of the
World. and the picture shows Verestchagin
IN one of his best moods, for he was never
so pleased with himself as when he gave
Napoleon to the world as he was.
But Nerestchagin. after all, may not par
ticipate in the peace prize. He has done his
work as an artist and not as an advocate
OF peace. Three names seem certain as
shares of the first instalment of the peace
bequest: those of the Baroness Won SUIT
ner. the German authoress; Mr.. Frederick
Passy. the ~well-know member of the
French Senate. and enc of the most earnest
advocates of peace in France: and Mr..
William Randall Cremer, u member of the
English House of Commons. whose services
to peace are acknowledged by every nation.
or Mr.. Frederick Passy most people know
very little. but when the last gun has been
melted down and the last sword beaten into
a plowshare, no name will be more hon
ored than his. He is one of the older cham
pions of peace. and must soon lay down
his work. Mr.. Cremer. NJ. p, another of
the favored three. whose claims are urged
by over a hundred NJ. P.'s. including Sir
William Harcourt and Mr.. John Morley, Is

We have pushed the work along Just as
fast as We have had the money for It and
no faster" said Doctor Pattillo to a Sun
day Republic man. W paid for the
foundation. then for the stone and the
stone work. then for the steel trusses tina
go into the roof. That is as far as we have
got. except that We rave put in a new
steam-heating apparatus which will be suf-
ffcient for the needs of the new church.
Now we shall have to get money for the
slate roof. and then for the floors. and then
for the furnishings. We have all our plans
made and are following them as faithfully
as though we had every cent Of the money
in hand before we began to build and had
gone ahead without interruption. We have
gone as far as We could: then when the
money gave out we have made the fact
known among our friends and got the FINDS
for another step. So far we lave spent
about $4,000 That leaves about $4,000 yet
to be raised. and I am confident we shall
raise that when the time comes.

necessary to educate themselves for the
service Of mankind. When, therefore. the
Swedish inventor found himself with 1000.
600, which he could not take with him to
the grave. he decided to place this vast
sum at the disposal Of the whole world. he
resolved, too. not merely to help those who
had made a name. but men of promise whit
were likely to do SO. The men Of action.
he would say. always managed to pull
through; it was the dreamers he wanted
to help. So the great dynamite fortune was
handed over to the dreamers. It was esti-
mated that the interest accruing from the
money would be about 100000 a year. or
about 100000. and this Mr.. Nobel divided
into five equal parts. Three Of these parts
were to go to III men who made the most
important discoveries or improvements In
natural philosophy. chemistry, and medi-
cine: and Of the other two, one part Was
for him who produced the most excellent
work In an idealist direction. and the other
to him who did most for the promotion Of
international friendship and peace. The
prizes In physics and chemistry arc to b

enees, for physiological or chemical work
