NOTED pIvINEs. PREACH TODAY.
Bishop Cranston and DR.. 1llff to oc-
cupy Methodist Pulpit,

Astoria Is favored today with the
presence OF two OF the most eminent
gentlemen OF their profession in Bish-
CD Earl Cranston and Dr. I. e. Hin,
who viii occupy the pulpit of the
First NJ. L. church this morning and
this evening respectively,
Bishop cranston began his career by
enlistlng as a private in the Third
Ohio infantry, and came out of the
war n captain. Since that time his ad-
vance has been steady to the highest
office In the gift of the church. For
IL years he was connected with the
Western Methodist Book Concern, one
of the largest publishing houses in
the country and as the head of that
establishment made great success of
the enterprise, Since his election as
bishop he has presided over confer
ences in various parts Of the world
spending much of the time on this
coast, where his labors have proven
most acceptable to the churches,
Dr. Iliff is also a G, A. r. man, hav-
ing served throughout the war of the
rebellion in the Ninth Ohio cavalry.
He was with Sherman on the mem
orable march to the sea, taking part
In all the principal battles Of that cam
palgn,
When the brave women Of America
began the crusade against the seat
ing of United States Congressman-elect
Brigham II, Roberts, the polygamist.
two years ago, DR.. Iliff, then superin-
tendent Of missions, was made chair
man Of all the evangelistlc forces ex-
listing In the fight, and in this capacity
he visited SO states of the union, press
ing the contest where influence would
be most effective. While he modestly
gives the credit to the women, 1t was
largely due TO his efforts that the Nor
mon was ousted.
DR.. Hin Is now one of the secre-
taries In charge of the Church Exten-
sion society. Wntch was organized at
the close of the war for the purpose
of assisting In the building of churches
among the freedmen and on the from
tier, especially In the West. II has
since become one of the soundest fl
nancial institutions In the United
States, and has a record OF having
helped to build over 1900 churches, at
an expenditure by the society of be-
tween S7OOO,0OO and $1,000, 900.
Almost every Methodist church on
the Pacific coast has received a do
nation and loan from this source, The
local church has recently made the
last payment Of loan at very low
rate of interest, and which probably
saved the church from financial bank
ruptcy. The privilege Of hearing these
gentlemen no doubt will be highly ap-
preclated.

A Big DEAL CLOSED
MINNEAPOLIS CAPITALISTS
PURCHASE NECANfCUM
SPRUCE LUMBER co.
Sawmill, Box Factory and Sever
al Thousand Acres Of Land
Included-Price Exceeds
100000.

The holdings Of the Neeanicum
Spruce Lumber Company, including
the sawmill box factory and seceral
thousand acres Of timber land tributary
to the Necanicum and OHanna, were
gold yesterday to Minneapolis parties.
II is said the purchaaa price was over
100000. This deal has been pending
for several days while the attorneys
have ben examining the title and con-
tract. c. w. Fulton represents the
retiring company, and Harrison Allen
is acting for the Minneapolis copital~
ists. F. s. Froslid will be secretary
for the business under the new regime.
1t Is the purpose of the new proprietors
10 operate the works on an extensive
scale. eniarging both the mill and fac
tory far ahead of their present Ca
pacity.
Rumors have been rife for some days
rast that the sale had either been
Effected or was holding Ere, but Moth
Ing definite or at all positive could BE-
learned until yesterday when negotia-
tlons eliminated in : transfer Of the
properties.
Messrs. Frank Patton, n. P. Soren-
son and n. D. Balm, the retiring mem
bers Of the company, have shown in
the conduct of their business a thrift
and commercial sense that Is in every
way commendable. When the gentle
men assumed control of the business
at Seaside no encouragement whatever
was given them and they asked for
none They simply rustled for sue
cess and attained 1t, with what result
the price that changed hands may well
testify. These enterprising Astorians
deserve every credit for their enter
prise and clear business judgment and
IL is to be remarked that were this
city blessed with a few more such,
Astoria would flourish like green
bay tree.

RESOLUTIONS OF.RESPECT.
Tribute Paid Memory of Late DR.. T
Richie Stone.

A special meeting of the general fac
ulty of the medical department. Column
hian University, was held June 2. 1902,
on account of the death of DR.. T.
Richie Stone, and the following resolu-
tions were adopted:
Whereas, Gcd in His infinite wisdom,
has seen fit to remove from our midst
one of our number. DR.. Thomas Richie
Stone, who has for many years been an
earnest worker as a member of the
medical faculty of Columbian Uni
versity, we, his associates in the said
faculty, were greatly shocked by the
news of his death, especially so by the
sUddenness of the event.
"Dr. Stone was a most genial and
courteous gentleman, beloved and re-
spected by all who knew him, and will
ever, be remembered by his friends for
his many noble traits of character;
therefore be it
Resolved, That we. the medical fac
ulty OF the Columbian University, do
feel most keenly the loss of one who
was ever faithful to his trust in this
faculty.
80. That we request the faculty to at
tend his funeral in a body.
''3 That we offer our sincere SYM
pathy to his bereaved family.

sent to his family.

been admitted in evidence. 1t appears
from the record that the letters were
admitted in evidence for the purpose OF
throwing light upon the scheme OF the
defendant. and as to what he did IN
connection Herewith, but as they are
not evidence of the fact therein stated.
the said letters could not be read to
the jury We are constrained to think
that the record cannot correctly give
the exact state Of the courts ruling.
because it cannot be conceived how
letter can be admitted as evidence and
yet not be permitted to be read to the
jury"
The court sustained the appellants
last assignment of error. and holds that
the various letters. documents. and
other papers offered in evidence by the
Government should have been placed In
the custody of the clerk, so that they
could be easily inspected by the de-
PENDANT.
The case Is reversed and remanded
for a new trial.
