ALLEY IN A CHURCH.
Andrew ,Presbyterians Thorough
Believers in Muscular Christianity
THEY PREPARE TO PLAY TENPINs
The Pastor Hopes That the Other
Churches VIII Pint In How'll
ing OUTFITS.

AS soon as the contract can be let An
drew Presbyterian church, Fourth street
and Eighth avenue Sc, is to be provided
with an up to- date bowling alley as an
adjunct to the splendid facilities which
the church already boasts for the develop
ment Of muscular Christianity IN the
gymnasium formally opened in the base
ment three weeks ago. So far as known
the only other church in the country which
has bowling alley is the First Presby-
terrain church of Trenton, N. J.
The alley may be said to be the out
growth of the progressive ideas Of Rev.
DR.. Martin D. Hardin, an enthusiastic
athlete and patron of manly sports.
Members Of the committee on bowling
alley are E. J. Chapman, c. A. Barton and
H. G.. Neal. The committee has already
advertised for bids for its construction
the full length of the basement beneath
the chapel DR.. Hardin expects that the
alley will be ready for play early in the
summer. He thinks there is material
presses the hope. that other churches will
install alleys, SO as to permit of the or
ganization of a church bowling league.
The gymnasium has proved a popular in
stitution and is daily thronged with the
young people of the church, who have
taken to systematic exercise like ducks to
water, and are apparently greatly bene-
fitted thereby. Interest in church work
has been appreciably quickened since the
gymnasium was opened.
Judging from the remark Of a pastor
who sat next to Mr.. Hardin at dinner
at the Commercial club to-day, other Min
neapolis churches may soon follow the ex-
ample set by Andrew church.
. my only regret about the opening of a
gymnasium In Andrew church, said he,
is that it Is away down on the East
Side. It's not convenient I believe the
time is not far away when the papers will
be reporting spirited bowling matches be-
tween the ngregationalists and the
Presbyterians or various other denomina-
tons. I say speed the day. '.F

THE ENGLISH WAY.

When newspaper interview with q
public man meets with popular disfavor
the simplest way to elude it's effects is
to deny. its accuracy. There are some
public men who do that. Inevitably there
will be verbal inaccuracies In the most
carefully reported interview, and to not
prescriptions politician these will serve
as a basis for reproduction. In this coun-
try the newspapers are amiable enough
to allow the politician to escape with a
humorous reprimand. In England, how
ever, these things are taken more Sc
riously. Because Arthur Balfour stated in
public that an alleged interview with him
which appeared in the London Sun was a
fabrication the proprietors of that news
paper have sued him for SANDER

James J. Hills big railway system COM
posed of the Northern Pacific, Great
Northern and Burlington secures another
port in northern California. The ter
minus of this new line which practically
means another transcontinental road will
be-, at Eureka, California one of the finest
harbors Oh the coast and the best one
not now utilized by a railroad. The
extensions to be built and improvements
contemplated include an expenditure of
$25,OOO,OO0. Oriental traffic over the
northern lines as we'll as over the Union
Pacific will be given new route which
will insure better handling Of all mer-
chandise to and from the coast especial
1y in busy seasons. E. H. Hartman, 70
the Union Pacific, James ]. Hill, and the
promoters of the new line have arrived
at; a. complete understanding regarding
the new move. This will practically
carry the trains of the Hill system into
what has been considered Union Pacific
and Hartman territory. and a thorough
understanding between all parties con-
cerned was necessary before progress
could be made.
J. Lord Thurlow Of England, and George
H. Proctor Of New York, have organized
the Eureka Eastern Railway company
which will build 300 miles of frst-class
tIdCh 1IOu EUREKA. IO-'W o1SGr, lQaQO,
where connection will be made with a line
built from the Northern Pacific or Great
Northern. The exact route of this piece
OF road to be built by Mr. Hill has not
been announced. There are a number
of routes possible. One is from Butte,
Mont, the terminus Of the Montana Cen
trial. through or over the Bitter Root
mountains, touching at Salmon City, Bon
ANA City and Van Wyck. The piercing
of the Bitter Root mountains UP to the
present time has presented too great a
problem for engineers to solve, and the
state of Idaho directly to the west Of the
range has been left without railroad ia
cilities. 1t Is hardly probable the Great
Northern will attempt this great under
taking. 81. .-.,.
Another route to connect at Butte
| might be south from that point through
Beaver Canyon over the Oregon Short
line. Still another route, and the one
Indicated by Lord Thurlow's partial out
line of his plans, is from Spokane. almost
direct south, tapping Cheney, Sekoa,
Pennington, Garfield. Moscow, Pullman,
Lewiston, thence south following the
Snake river to Huntington, with possible
spurs to Mount Idaho, Enterprise and
Baker City.
What Lord Thur1ow Says.
Lord Thurlow has refused to saw which
route Mr.. Hill has decided upon. In an
| Interview in which he announced the com
pletion of his plans he says:
| The contracts for the construction OF
| the road were let to Drake C stratton
Of New York just before left I am on
| my way to California. Mr.. Proctor is with

called, includes besides Mr. Proctor and

with them; Robert Gibson, William R. A,
