100000 For Breach of Promis.

Grand Rapids. Mich. Special Miss
Henrietta Adams. of Caseville. Mich.
was given a verdict OF $50 .0N0 against
Robert Stuart Baker, well-known
young society man of this city. for
breach of promise. The trial has been
one or the most sensational in the his
tory OF western Michigan. The romance
which led up to Bakers proposing
marriage to the young woman. began
wheA both were students at Olivet
college. Several hundred letters writ
ten to Miss Adams by Baker. were read
IN court, and n number from the young
women to the defendant were also in
troduced as evidence. Bakers letters
were. many OF them, very sensational
and improper. The jury decided that
Baker fraudulcntly made the contract
Of marriage with the purpose OF seduc-
ton. and that he afterwards ratified it
with the same purpose.

Surplus Exhausted.

Washington. Special-A significant
fact is noted IN the Treasury statement
at the C'ose of business Saturday. 1t
is that the receipts and expenditures
of the government for the first four
months Of the present calendar year
are practically the same. the surplus
being go small as to be only a fraction
OF the aGgre gate. One year ago. the
sUplus for the same months OF the

receipts for the fiscal year have been
shout 800, ,397 2S5. and the expenditures
StS9.Sl .697. leaving a surplus of about
$3.50. 900 An analysis OF the statement
shows that the practical wiping ont or
the surplus is due not only TO a de-
crease Of the receipts. but also to an
increase OF expenditures.

the importance of Russian church mis-
sions in the East, an Importance which
has arisen in comparatively recent
years and which has led to the provi-
sion of residence of the Russian
Bishop Tikhon in New York for large
part of the year When Alaska was a
Russian possession the seat Of the
bishop was at Sitka, but with the sale
Of the territory to the United States
the Russian garrison and officials went
away and the orthodox church was left
with but handful of native adherents.
The bishop moved his residence to San
Francisco, visiting from there the mis-
siOns along the coast and occasionally
coming to the east.
Russian emigration to this country,
while not large in members Of the Rus
sian church, has, nevertheless, brought
to this country enough of them to form
churches In number Of eastern manu-
featuring centers. These are in charge
of missionary priests sent out from
Russia, and Bishop Til1hon finds 1t nec-
essary to spend as much time in the
east as the west. The church in New
York was therefore built, money being
subscribed in Russia for the purpose,
in order that the church might have
eastern headquarters.
The building is Of distinctively Rus
sian style and Of character different
from any other in New York. The audi
torium is almost square and very high,
extending into a central dome 100 feet
or more above the floor. A sanctuary
screen from Russia is to be placed be-
tween nave and chancel. The building
| adjoining the church is the residence
OF the priest in charge and contains
apartments for the bishop.
