FALL OUT WITH HILL.
Rescue Mission People Say He
Endermfnes Them.

Rev. ]. F. c. Hill, the evangelist who
was prohibited from holding further
meetings in the Quinton Heights school
house on account of alleged hypnotic
practices in connection with his work.
has broken friendship with some of the
people who were his supporters a short
time ago. This diSaffection has come
about through what the people claim
his methods of attempting to destroy
other organizations in order to further
the one which he represents.
For some months the Rescue Mission
association, a society having it's head
holding nightly services in little hall
at the southeast corner of Eighth and
Lake streets. 1t appears that after his
debarment from Quinton Heights, Hill
attempted to secure the building in
which the Rescue Mission people have
been holding forth, desiring, as they
claim, to Supplant the organizat ton al
ready established there by his own
Hill is a minister of the Worlds Faith
Missionary association, which like the
other organization has no special creed,
it's object being simply to save the
fallen. So that there has been no di-
vergence on account of doctrine but
rather because of methods. But his way
of preaching was not in accord with
the Rescue Mission people and although
they supported him for awhile, when it
came to the test they refused to give
their society to him. For some nights
he has been unable to secure meet
ing place, holding services in the rooms
of private family at the corner of
Sixth and Lake streets.
In explaining the position of the
Rescue Mission people, Rev. A. G.
Smith, secretary and evangelist of that
body, says: I'VE are not associated
with the w. F. M. A. as represented by
Rev. and Mrs. Hill. While we do not
wish to criticize their work or do them
any HARM we want it understood that
we are not trying to tear down any 9TH
er organization to build up our own. We
teach only the plan of salvation, and
then if men and women wish to join
any church we commend them to
deeper study of the Bible. We feel this
is due our supporters and sympa-
thizers."
The members of the Rescue Mission
society say they are planning to build
somewhere on the east side a rescue
home for boys and girls who have all
but reached the reform school or re-
formatory. They say it will be con-

except that it's labors will be designed
to help strictly the worst class of youth
by providing them both reading and liv-
ing rooms. They say the lots on which
the mission is at present located are for
sale and that they are considering ser
iously the proposition of purchasing
them.
The charter of the local society is
signed by Governor Stanley, Lieutenant
Governor Richter and number of the
leading ministers of the town. w. L.

BEHIND THE TINES.
British Railway Managers Show a
Disposition to Catch Up.

New York, Jan. 13.-There is a disposi-
tion on the part of several of the leading
railways of Great Britain to amend their
ways in the direction of economy, says
the London correspondent of the Tribune.
Railway transportation in this country is
at present carried on under much the
same conditions those which prevailed
in the United States a quarter of CEN
tury ago and in England nearly half
century ago. Wagons of eight to ten tons
capacity still used and the average
mineral train load is under hundred
tons. The Lancashire and Yorkshire Lon
don and Northwestern, the Northeastern
and one two minor British lines have
recently, however. given orders to build
wagons varying in capacity from 20 to 30
tons. and if the experiment comes up to
expectation the smaller wagons will grad
ually be discarded. The country is SO in
tensely conservative, however, that the
reform is sure to meet with opposition
from the colliery companies.

TEACHER STRIKES.
Miss Critics Refuses to Have
Board Overrule Her Acts.

Miss Cora Critics, the teacher of dis
trict school No. so, has gone on strike
and County superintendent Wright has
gone there to try and bring armis-
tice.
The trouble grew out of the changing
of a scholar named Young from one seat
to another. The teacher claims that the
boy was unruly and that she changed
him from one seat to another. The boy
objected and appealed the matter to
the local school board. The board
thought that Miss Critics should allow
him to have the seat he formerly occu-
pied and held her to be in the wrong.
She appealed the case to superintendent
Wright. She refused to continue school
until the matter is settled. The school
is situated on the north line of Shawnee
county.

CROSS-SHAPED OLD TOMB.
Mausoleum Evidently Designed for An
 cient Monarchs of Mexico.
IN. '. Times.

Ready for exhibition at the American Museum of Natural His tory Is model of the remarkable cross-shaped tomb recently un- earthed by Marshall H. Staville in the state of Oaxaca. The model was executed by w. Orchard, chief of the sculpture department, says the Louisville Courier-J Journal.
 Mir. Saville says that this is by far the most elaborate and important burial chamber yet found in the New World, both in size and in beauty of mosaic work. No structures of like character are known in other parts of Mexico or Central America. The finding of "a number of skeletons with in exclusively points to the fact that 1t was designed for tomb of one of the rulers or the ancient priests connected with the large temples near by.
 The following are the dimensions of the tomb: Extreme length from east to west, 32 feet; north to south, 28A; length of the northeast and south arms, 11H feet; west arms, II feet, width of arms feet; height of chamber, 7A feet.
 The entrance was at the base of the cross. The surprising feature of the tomb was the mosaic work on the walls. The geometric design was made by the fitting together of small stones of different sizes. The per- feet joining of the large blocks of stone on the walls reveals absolute mastery of the stone work of art. There were three different designs in the decoration which forms con- tinuous bands around the chamber.
 The method of ornamentation of this tomb is considered to be in direct relationship with the Yucatan ruins, having the same mosaic style of stone- work, and it is thought to belong to the same epoch. The tomb is SUD- posed to have been constructed dur ing the reign of one of the ancient monarchs who preceded Montezuma III., about 1494. The locality sur- rounding the tomb and the nearby Mitla palaces were occupied by the Spaniards soon after the conquest.

A "STREET" BANQUET.
Novel Affair Recently Arranged in Honor
 of Andrew Carnegie.

The banquet given recently to Mir. Andrew Carnegie at the Carnegie la boratory of the Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, N. J., says the Strand, was one of the most novel and ingenious ever prepared. The steel magnate was greeted on all sides by the metal in which he has made his millions. The great room in which the feast was held looked more like a locomotive workshop than a banquet hall. The decorations were of the most elaborate type, but they were also severe, for it was the stu dents idea to make the royal supper one of steel from start to finish.
 Around the long table was fixed a steel track, on which there ran g movable modern blast-furnace, and other steel dishes. When the lights were turned on the table and the wall hangings caught the rays and sent out myriads of dancing sparks. The delicate china and cut-glass which usually grace the festive board were replaced by novel dishes of steel, fashioned in the oldest shapes. Cups, plates and goblets were of the finest and most highly-tempered steel. The sumptuous repast was served up in beautiful steel dishes, and beside each guests plate there was an appropri- ate steel souvenir

LOST AND FOUND HIS FEET.
Civil War Veteran Makes a Startling
 Discovery.

Discovery.
 Every afternoon about five o'clock man with a peculiar limp passes along Sixth avenue and turns west at Herald square. He is about 60 years of age, is gray bearded, and has the kindliest face imaginable. The limp is peculiar in that it does not suggest painful effort, but rather mere stiffness of joint. Which Is the case; for this veteran of the civil war walks on two wooden legs, and, moreover, he made them himself, and, more remarkable still, he makes wooden legs for living, says the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
 His name is Harris, and the story of his lost limbs is that of many other less resourceful and indomitable soldiers of the rebellion who parted with their ''props'' in battle.
 But MT. Harris has another story of a kindred kind to tell, and this is the way he told it.:
 "On Sherman's march to the sea our regimental surgeon was Dr. Bradley. He was a mighty nice man, and looked after us fellows as though we were human beings and brothers. But he did like to come the saw bones;' there's no doubt about that. He carried along with him collec- tion of things in alcoholic jars that gave a man the jams to look at.
 "Well, we came to a prison camp one day and released whole raft of poor fellows who had been living on black beans for two months.
 "'Doc' Bradley took most interest in man-I think his name was Ken nedy-whose right foot was hanging to his leg by the skin only. He had cut off the left foot himself, and buried it in the sand. Doc Bradley amputated the other one, and put both the feet Tn a jar of alcohol, you know, and shipped them, as curiosi- ties, to his home in Wilkesbarre, Pa. --that is, to the Wyoming Historical society there. Kennedy was put in an ambulance, and we moved on. "Now for the curious end of the thing. I called on Doc Bradley a few years ago, when he was the busi- ness manager of a Philadelphia news paper, and while we were talking over that march to the sea, I asked him about Kennedy's feet. He laughed and said: oh, Pve got them all right; they're still in that jar at Wilkesbarre.'
 ''There was reporter in the room and he worked the story out of Doc and printed it. We'll, what do you think? Some southern paper copied the yarn, and in about a month along came letter from Selma, Ala, de- manding those feet! It was Ken nedy, claiming his own,' as Doc wrote me.
 ''He sent photograph of himself and his stumps, and said it made him feel uncomfortable to think that an important portion of himself was lying in jar in historical society. He wanted the feet back, he said, as it seemed an invidious distinction to feed them on alcohol, when they couldn't appreciate it, and the rest of his carcass was aching for drink It was funny letter, and Pm sorry I didn't ask Doe to let me keep it.
 "At any rate, Kennedy got his feet back, buried them, and under stand there was a high old time al the obsequies."

In the Former aa Effort Will Be Made to Nominate Bryan fer Governor and Split the Rest of the Ticket.

Grand Island. Neh.. June 23.-The delegates to the populist and demo- cratic state conventions. which will be held here tomorrow. began pouring into the city this afternoon. Over 1,20G delegates are accredited to each con- Vention. and at least 1000 are expected. Preliminary conferences began as early as noon today and were entered into with spirit by the party leaders, q larga number of whom arrived today for both parties.
 The question uppermost in the minds of a great ma iOrity of the delegates is whether or not fusion can be accom- piished and a candidate selected to head the ticket that will be satisfac- tory to all factions. The accomplish ment of this result has been seriously questioned by q number of the party leaders up to a late hour this afternoon. but tonight a number of populists aniI democrats who are considered author . ity profess to believe there will be little cPostion to fusion
 It is still the unanimous opinion that if Bryan will accept the nomna tion for governor there will be little left to do but to divide the rest of the ticket
