gift was startling. Two years ago
Rev Mr.. Wayne was a patient at the
hospital He is of the Episcopal faith,
and had been in Topeka since 1896, and
had been chaplain of the institution for
some time. He was nursed through his
sickness in so careful and thorough a
manner that he was impressed with
the good work the institution was do
ing. To be sure, he had been chaplain
there. but he had not realized the
scope of the work until he, himself, was
a patient.
The trustees of the hospital held
meeting It was suggested that the in
stitution needed a new building, a
large structure of modern style ana
especially adapted to the needs OF the
hospital When the project was talked
of Rev. Mr.. Wayne was at the meet
ing He had little to say
The trustees knew just the sort OF
building that was needed, but they mad
no idea where to obtain the money
with which to build it. Rev. Mr..
Wayne inquired what such building
would cost and was told. Then he
walked across the floor, drew from his
inside pocket a wallet, and handed it to
the chairman THAT is for the new
building" he said.
The wallet contained $11.500, little
short of the amount necessary. So the
new building which was erected from
the savings of a lifetime of a devout,
Woodworking minister of the church,
was named THE Wayne" building in
honor of the donor.
Rev. Mr. Wayne is deeply interested
in the work of the institution and he
is still chaplain of the institution. The
new building, named for him, contains
Is rooms and has two large wards, one
for children and the other a maternity
ward. They accommodate SO patients
The building is three stories high,
with a basement used for domestic pur-
poses The location of the new building
with the two others forms a cross.
Christ hospital was incorporated June
%, 1882. The first patient was received
May 10, 1884. Since then the hospital
has cared for 4,1S2 patients. During

BEET SUGAR PLANTS.
Havemever Company Negotiating For
Iroperties in Colorado.


Colorado Springs, Col. May 1O.-It is
learned upon excellent authority that
A. c. Penoyar of Bay City. Mich. who
was in this city few weeks ago, was
here as a representative of the sugar
trust, and that the trust is now nego-
tiating for the purchase of at least four
plants that were in operation in this
state last season.
The fact that J. r. McKinnie. one of
the heaviest stockholders in the Love
land factory and who is also interested
in the Grand junction plant, is now in
the east is taken to mean that negotia-
tions are now being made with the
trust.
William Gelder of Denver, who reor-
ganized the Grand junction company.
is with Mr.. McKinnie, and it is reported
that they have received a proposition
from the Havemeyers for a transfer
of the Grand Junction plant. Mr. Nc
Kinnie has been in the east about three
weeks, and it is rumored that the Geld
ers are negotiating with the trust for a
transfer Of their stock in the Grand
Junction company. 1t is estimated that
the trust would have to spend some
thing like $6,000 600 to obtain possession
of the plants a t Loveland, Rocky Ford,
Grand Junction, and Sugar City.
According to advices from Grand
Junction, received in the city today, the
reorgan ization of the beet sugar com
pany at Grand Junction has met with

RELIGION ON COUNCIL.
Efforts Of Salvation Army to Break
Deadlock Unavailing.

Dickson City. Pa, May 1O.-Burgess
Kennedy, of Dickson City. thought that
by having a detachment of Salvation
Army singers conduct services in the
town hall last night he could bring the
warning factions of the Borough council
into harmony and avoid the dire dan
gers which threaten the place.
He accordingly had a part of the West
Scranton corps brought to the town, and
their revival service, in an upper room,
kept time with the efforts of the coun-
cilmen to provide for the payment of
electric light and water bills, which had
accumulated while the council was
dead-locked.
The effort of the Salvationists was a
failure, their .Amens" and GLORY hal
lelujahs'' having no effect whatever on
the clashing councilmen. The light and
water supplies of the town are to be
shut off tomorrow night if the delayed
bills are then unpaid

VALUE OF THOUGHT AND DEED
It is well enough to have good
thoughts, but indispensable to have
good tongue. Generous sentiments are
useless unless they provoke generous
deeds. Kind thoughts for the widow

HOW TO LIVE.
Be aristocratic in thought. to think the

to do the best things; be aristocratic

be democratic in your services. Grasp
every opportunity to assist your fellows.

NO REST WITHOUT PEACE.
There is more to rest than mere physi-
cal rebuilding. There is no rest without

THE HIGHEST LOVE.
The true Christian spirit is founded
on love The fundamental motive of
