BISHOP DAVID II. MOORE, LII. n.
church militant. He served throughout
the civil war as soldier in the Union
army. He volunteered as a private
and almost Immediately was elected
captain in the Eighty seventh Ohio in
fantry. Taken prisoner at Harpers
Ferry, he was soon afterward ex-
changed and assisted in raising the
One Hundred and Twenty-fifth Ohio
infantry, of which he became lieuten-
ant colonel. After the fall of Atlanta
he resigned from the army and re-
turned to the pulpit. Since that time
Bishop Moore has steadily grown In
importance in the church.
Bishop Moore has had many exciting
adventures in all three of the coun-
tries in his jurisdiction. While max
ing visit to Korea with a party of
friends they came near meeting death
at the hands of some Korean coolies,
attack was most furious, but the party
defended themselves with the modern
weapons in their possession until they
were finally rescued by members of the
japanese consulate. A number of the
coolies were later tried and punished
by the Korean government.
During the Boxer uprising Bishop
Moore had many thrilling experiences,
but the Chinese found that in dealing
with him they had genuine American
fighting parson" to consider. The
bishop is siXty-five years old.

workmen must necessarily be negroes,
as white men cannot stand the eli
mate. The negroes of jamaica and 9th
er British West India colonies are fair
ly good workers and are immune from
yellow fever. 1t is estimated that about
10000 will be required. The number of
men needed, however. will depend on
the machinery. Owing to the climate
1t is probable that machinery will re-
place hand work wherever possible.
The United States agrees to complete
the work and open the canal in four
teen years. But in case the United
States should at any time determine to
make the canal practically sea level
canal, then the period is to be extended
ten years further. There is little like
lihood of the latter contingency arising,
as it is the general opinion of engineers
that canal without locks is practical
ly impossible and could only be con-
structed at an enormous expense.
While fourteen years is the time set
for the completion of the canal it will
/ probably be in operation long before
that. Those who are competent to give
an opinion say that this time will be
reduced at least four years. The time
of transit for vessels through the canal
will be less than day, and the largest
vessels can be accommodated. Ships
bound from Europe to the orient will
save at least 1000 miles. Vessels ply
ing between Atlantic and Pacific ports
in the States and South America will
be able to accomplish the distance in
about one-ffth of the time now re-
quired.
The estimated cost Of completing the
canal is $135, 900, 900, not including $10,-
100000 to the French company and
$1O,OOO,0OO to Colombia. Even should
it exceed this vast sum it will be worth
the money both as an investment and
as a measure of safety. For with the

subcontractors would be responsible to

government. If this plan cannot be
made operative, the government will
make contracts direct with companies
desiring TO construct certain kinds of
work.
Eighteen of the forty-six miles, the
length Of the canal, have been actually
dug. or these eighteen miles vessels
are now navigating twelve miles on the
Atlantic and six miles on the Pacific
side. The canals depth is twenty eight
feet, though in some places silt has
made bars that will have TO be re.
moved.
According TO the estimate, more than
Sl5,0O0,000 will be expended for ma.
chinery. Modern American excavators
and dredges will be substituted for
those now in use About twenty four
miles of the canal will be sea level.
This distance must be exCavated by
dredging to a depth of thirty-five feet,
with bottom width of 100 feet. The

a mammoth undertaking In itself. The

A WESTERN HALL OF FAME.

Honor Memory of Explorers.
AT the suggestion Of Ernest Thomp-
son Seton the directors OF the 81.

tablish a western hall of fame, in
which there tire TO be statues OF fifty
OF the men who distinguished them
selves I'm the winning of the west.
says the New York Times. The selec-
ton OF those TO be honored, II is pro-
posed, shall be determined by popular
vote.
Those who have been SO far men,
TONED are Coronado. DE Soto and the
Spaniards Oh the south. They are fol-
lowed by the Frenchmen, Verandrye,
Du Luth, La Sale, Hennepin, Mar
quette and Des Molnes. Among the
others are Boone. Bowie. Bridger,
Beckwourth, Breckenridge, Crockett,
Carson. Clark. Fremont Long, Macy,
Ross, Pike, Brigham Young and the
English pioneers of the east.
1t is also proposed that there shall
be four large historical pictures illus.
trative OF deeds OF the pioneers.
According TO the present idea as to
the building of the western hall OF
fame, there are to be four doors open
ing TO the four points OF the compass
TO typify the four great gateways, st.
Louis on the east, st. Paul on the
north, Santa Fe on the south and San
Francisco on the west
1t is also proposed to issue book
giving the lives OF the fifty men
chosen and containing their portraits
The volume would include facsimiles
of the Spanish, French and English
maps that were compiled in the re.
ports of the pioneers. Many OF these
maps are IN the archives of Paris and
Madrid and have never been given tc
the public.

two years in the orient.

selection for that important post-a

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
There is no more quaint and original fig
ure in the black belt than Artemus Hans
berry Of Alabama, afectionately known as
Uncle Temas.
Uncle Temas is a preacher OF rare per-
suasive powers He has built a church, COM
piled n theology and planned q spiritual
campaign after original ideas of his own.
He carries out q plan OF providing elab-
crate feasts for the sinners of his flock.
which has proved an immense success.
Born a slave about seventy-three years
ago, as nearly as he can tell. his renarka-
bic administrative qualities early led 10 his
selection for training in the management
and entire control OF his masters panta-
lions.
Ii was here he acquired the orderly habits
and practical knowledge that fitted him for
shaping his career at the close of the Civil
War. when freedom opened the door to the
exercise OF mis- special talent.
He felt himself called upon to preach.
He found such difficulty in gaining
hearing that he resolved after long years
of patient waiting to build church at his
own expense and lay practical foundation
for his faith.
With this purpose In view, he apportioned
off a good bit of his land fenced It in and
designed and built the wooden structure in
which he officiates.
He performed the task alone in his leisure
hours from farm work. requiring three
years to complete 1t. and the modest, sub
stantial and well-wrought little church COM
mends itself to the eye.
Having housed his principles, the next
step was to formulate his creed.
His illiteracy did not prevent him from
extracting many elements from opposing
sects and rituals.
These include the Passover of the Israel
ties. the close communion and immersion
of the Baptists, the foot washing of the
Dunkards. the iconoclasm Of the Greek
Apostate, the spiritism of the Swedenbor-
CLANS and the love feasts of the Method
ists-all combined in a set of original and
hybrid ceremonies peculiar to his interpre-
tation of the Bible.
There is a hint Of st. Francis Of Assist in
the old colored mans impassioned plea for
the practice OF the cardinal virtues.
Each spring he breaches a series of Ser
mons called blackberry sermons. N
which he warns maid and youth against the
dangers lurking in briar patches and berry
ing picnics.
It would seem that the season prompts
his suspicious that '.in the spring young
mans fancy lightly turns to thoughts OF

The texts for his sermons are evolved by
a rather extraordinary process. His second
