NOW A CAR.

The cathedral car, purchased by
Bishop Walker owe ten years ago for
use in travelling over the state and
holding services, is now being used by
a clothing firm in the east, having
been remodeled for that purpose. The
a was used in Darlington for about
two years previous to being sold, as a
place of worship for the Episcopal con-
gregation there but it was difficult to
get it warm enough in winter and it
was not satisfactory. In fact the car
was never much of a success when in
use for church purposes, being expen-
sive to move about.
a little owe two years ago Rev. j.. H.
Sheridan and the congregation at Car
rington secured the car for church pur-
poses. It had been lying In the Fargo
railroad yards in disuse for a number
Of years, the growth OF churches in the
state having rendered it's use unneces-
sary. The a was well-built, and
had a very pretty interior.

WILL HAVE A NEW DEPOT.

jamestown Capital: jamestown is
to have a handsome new depot, the APP
preparation therefor having been made
for its erection in the spring of 1908.
Dickinson is to have a new depot this
spring, as also will Valley City, we are
informed from a reliable source. The
depot for this city will be practically
the same as the n built in Fargo, ex-
cept that it will be somewhat larger,
that having been found inadequate to
the demands upon it. The depot here
will be located north and east of the
present depot building with the bag
gage and express rooms at the east
end. This will stop trains east Of
Fifth avenue crossing and leave that
thoroughfare open during the time a
portion of the trains are at the depot

DR.. LECTURE

IN
AT THE METHODIST CHURCH
WITH AN INTERESTING Lee
TURE FROM DIR. FONTAINE.
DR.. Philip Fontaine lectured at the
Methodist church last night on Egypt
and the Holy Land. It was a lecture
that differed from the ordinary descrip-
tive effort, and was full Of interest
from beginning to end. Dr.. Fontaine
is a practical observer, and his account
Of his observations, and his comments
upon things pertaining to the region
of which he spoke were interesting in
deed.
DR.. Fontaine takes more the view
that is taken by Mark Twain and other
matter of fact travellers who tell what
they see rather than what they are told,
or what religious or r~everential en-
thusiasm lead them to imagine. Jeru-
salem, DR.. Fontaine describes as being
far from the "holy city" it is generally
imagined. 1t Is dirty and ill-kept,
and abounds in impostures and frauds
based upon the sacred memories
Astounding. : Some of the methods of
imposture and the means by which in
terest is kept up and sacred CO relics
displayed were described in an enter
tanning fashion by the lecturer. He
told of the patent receptions practiced
with reference to the tomb of Christ,
and other places and things associated
with the birth of the Christian reli-
gion. To the Masonic fraternity he
gave credit for preserving some of the
genuine localities and things connected
with Christ's Life and crucifixion.
His lecture was set off with the dis
play of a number Of the costumes worn
in the far east, and a faithful descrip-
ton of life and customs. One of his
interesting statements was of the fact
that i ncompany with a. New York di-
vine, he had gotten a few grains OF
corn from one of the granaries along
the Nile, where it had been stored 1000
years ago. The few scattering grains
were found after long and tedious
search, and were brought back to this
country afterward, and planted in
earth, a bagful of which had been
brought from the Nile. Four of the
grains had sprouted, after lying in that
granary for 1000 year and were placed
upon the altar of the divine's church
during an Easter sermon on the resur
rection. ~.

ANSWER OF THURBER
SAFE WOOD ACTED WITHIN HIS
 AUTHORITY.
Money Expended Belonged to Cuba, and Not to the United States Thurber's Connection With
 MT. Havemeyer.

New York, June, 12.-The Herald tomor- row will quote Francis B. Thurber as saying in reply to criticisms brought out by his testimony before the Senate Com mittee in regard to the use of funds fur nished by the military government of Cuba in aid of reciprocity:
 'It was Cuban money, and not that of the United States. The beet sugar people are attempting to make political capital out of what was. in my opinion, legiti- mate and proper use of Cuban money. Everything was done openly. and no fact was hidden. When called to Washington to testify before the committed. told the plain truth.
 .,rhe committee of Cuban business men recommended the expenditure out of mon ey paid by Cubans import tax. General Wood acted within his authority in dis posing of these funds, or portion of them in the best interests of the island.
 "Mr. Havemeyer's contribution came about in this way: I was asked last win ter if our organization was not working in the interest of the sugar trust. l re- piled that it was not but the question set me thinking that perhaps we were work ing on similar lines. I went to MT. Have meyer and asked for a contribution. He gave me S2,500. This. with the small amount from the Cuban taxes, has car ried on the work of distributing literature, giving the people of the United States in- formation about Cuba's condition and renuirements"

GIVEN WATER CURE
M. H. EVANS SAW IT ADMINS
 TERED TO NATIVES.
As a Whole, the Conduct of the Amer ican Army Toward the Filipi- nos Was Humane-E. J.
 Norton Testifies.

Washington June R.-Mark II. Evans of Des Moines. la. formerly sergeant of Company F, 32nd Volunteer Infantry. testified before the Senate Committee on the Philippines concerning the adminis- tration of the water cure to the F1hpinos nm four different occasions during his service in the islands.
 He also related the particulars of the burning of several native villages.
 All these events occurred, the witness said. during the year 1900, in the province n, Rattan. Island of Luzon, and in or near the town or Orano. In one case' the cure was administered by native scouts, and in others by an American soldier. The victims of the cure were not seriously ar fected. The cure was ordered to secure A confession regarding the whereaoouts of insurgents and guns and had been sue cessful in one case.
 Mr Evans said he had been present at the burning of four or five native vii- laees and that the destruction or tnese places had been due to the presence or insurgents. The orders were to destroy all the native huts along the coast near the mountains for thirty miles in Batan prov ince so as to force the natives to come in. and this, he said, was done.
 He said the orders to the troops was to treat the natives humanely and with the exceptions noted, their treatment had been in accord with these instructions The natives, had not. on the other hand shown any appreciation of this consid- eration.
 Edward J. Norton of Los Angeles, late nrivate in Company l., 18th United States Infantry, was the next witness. He served in the Island of Panay.
 Replying to Senator Culberson, MT. Morton said that except in isolated cases, inc treatment accorded the natives by limited States soldiers was humane and all that could be expected or desired.
 In the isolated cases referred to, he said the treatment was not consistent with humanity and the laws of war
 Ut was the practice in marching through villages" the witness related, "when fired upon by the natives, to im- mediately burn their houses"
 He said that the Filipinos regarded the kindness of the troops towards them as weakness and became bold in conse- auence, also that the general understand ing in the army was that the policy of General Hughes was one of kindness and humanity. The burning of villages, he declared, was a military necessity.

STEEL TRUSTS ANSWER.
Constitutional Points Raised Will Be
 Argued Today.

Newark N. J.. June 12-The United States Steel Corporation filed an answer today to the suit brought by Miriam Barger of Sullivan County New York, to restrain the company from retiring S20O.OO0,00O of preferred stock and issuing bonds therefor. Tomorrow the constitu- tional points raised in the bill will be argued. Meanwhile the rule to show cause granted by Vice-Chancellor Emery last Monday acts $ stay. The an- swers ayers that the corporation, by virtue of the law under which it exists, has the right to make, alter or amend its bylaws, subject always to the vote of the stockholders as was done in the present case
 The bill denies that 1t was ever the in- tention of the defendant corporaticn or it's officers to make the new bonds con- vertible into common stock at any price or in any manner whatever. It claims that the action of the directors in retiring the preferred stock was voted upon and assented by nearly all the capital stock of the corporation.
 In regard to the contract with J. P Morgan x Company, the answer de- clares that the contract was approved by more than a majority of the stock holders not including stock registered in the name of J. F. Morgan & Com pany. or any member. or representative of that firm. or any subscriber to said syndicate for any officer or director of the defendant corporation
