Gov. Dockery came down from Jef
ferson City last Thursday evening
and spent Friday morning in an in
spection OF the Asylum buildings and
grounds. He was accompanied 10y
Architect Hohenchild and Commits
sioner Wells, and went over the en-.
tire buildings both those completed
and those upon which contract or
Matthews is working. Later, in com
pany with n few invited friends. the
Governortook dinner at Hotel H Hollis
where Mrs. Hollis had prepared one
of those excellent repasts for which
her table is noted.
In conversation regarding the Asy-
lum Governor Dockery expressed
himself as having come to Farming
ton somewhat preiudiced against the
cottage plan, but that after seeing
the buildings he was fully convinced
OF the superiority of the cottage over
the old plan. He said further that
he was well satisfied with the work
the architecture and the loca tien
and felt that when the buildings now
in course of construction are rom
pleied this will be one of the best
Asylums in the United States. Tn,
Governors ambition now is to SEE
the work speedily finished and tn,
buildings opened for the reception o
patients.
Commissioner j. ID Allen arrived
tUu the sOuth-b0und Iron Mountain
train, and he and Mr.. Wells accom-
panied Gov. Dockery as lar as st
Louis on his return.

the work on the present building

First rate The appropriation bill
for the navy contemplates the building
of two battleships. This is not so
great a number as some of the nations

with Germany"
AS to his plans for the future, Mr..
Long said:

sCHLEY SILVER SERVICE.

Made From Coins Taken From Spanish
Cruiser, Cristobal Colon.
Baltimore, May 3.-The magnificent
silver service made from silver coins
taken from the Spanish cruiser Cristo-
bal Colon, to be presented to Admiral
Winfield Scott Schley by his friends in
this state and in Washington, has been
completed and is on exhibition in the
show windows of the manufacturers
in this city The service consists of
one centerpiece, one soup toureen and
ladle, four vegetable dishes with Gov
ers, one gravy bowl and ladle, one
roast platter, one game platter, one
fish platter, 10 dessert plates. Upon
each piece is engraved Admiral
Schley's initials in monogram and each
bears this inscription:
Made of silver taken from the Span
ish cruiser Cristobal Colon. Destroyed
in the naval battle off Santiago de
Cuba, July 8, 1895"
The fineness of the silver was not
interfered with and the metal
is of the utmost hardness of steel.
The weight of the coins used was
about ! 500 ounces and the present
price OF silver represents a value of
$500, but nearly six times that amount
was required to purchase the coin
from the government. The presenta-
ton of the service will be made next
Wednesday at the home of Theodore
Marburg in this city. who, with former
Postmaster General James A. Gary
and Ives Cobb, of Washington, com

THE REGISTRATION
UNUSUALLY LIGHT.

Below 1900.

Country Districts Show a Total OF
772 Voters Registered City Dis
trict List Not Yet Completed Total

1t now appears that less than /, SOC
voters will be eligible to cast ballo
in the primary Wednesday for the
nomination of legislative members an6
county officers, and when the sheets are
finally consolidated this estimated tota
may be reduced to 1900
Such was the information given out
last night by the committee engaged
IN canvassing the lists.
This has been very tedious task.
and st late hour last night Chairman
Pilsbury and John w. SILVER, of the
executive committee, had not entirely
finished work.
The registration books are submitted
to them by Tax Collector Dunn, and
whenever it is found that a voter has
registered without having paid his
taxes the name is stricken. And not
a few have been eliminated from the
liets for just this very reason, too.
Oaly tax paying and duly registered
white democrats can vote.
A count of the districts outside of
Americas shows total of 772 names
registered and qualified, And it is es
timated that the city district will prob
ably show on equal number.
If this be true there would be a to-
tai of perhaps 1850 registered, but
should the city district fall short the
number might go below 1900. AS
there are some $500 white democrat
in the county, it will be seen that
many have failed to qualify.
Possibly 1000 or 100 votes will be
cast, and for these the twenty-on
candidates are hustling,

He linked Japan. China and Corea,

there would be perceptible changes

De greater than that of the apostles
The work we fail to do today will
be a work done for the devil and
against Christ and the world in the
days to come. The work in other
foreign fields is not to be considered
with China, with its teeming thou
sands of people with as great brains
as can be found. They will not take
the mere forms of civilization like the
people OF Japan, but go to the root and
appropriate that which they believe
viii assist them. If we allow them
IN their present condition to go
ahead the people of China, Japan and
Corea will eventually make trouble
for the west. We OF the west will suf
fer not only from the reaction. but
