ROOF GARDEN CHURCH.
Doors of "a Chicago Ediice to Be-
Open Night and DAY.

Doors of Chicago Edifice to Be
Open Night and Day.
The members Of the METROPOLITAN
church of Christ in Chicago will build
magnificent place of worship at Oak.
ley boulevard and Van Buren, street,
and one of it's features will be roof
garden, says the Kansas City Times.
IF the theatrical folk can make a
fOof garden SO popular why cannot the
people Of the church," asked the pas
tor.
And the people answered, 1--WE can"
This Christian roof garden is to be
modelled after those where pleasure is
the only thought. 1t is to surmount a
magnificent building. The cost of the
latter is placed at $4,000. Gardeners
and florists are to be called to do all in
their power to enhance the roofs beau
ty. 1t is not intended to make the
place interesting wholly by the preach
ing of sermons.
All church entertainments are to be
held on the roof garden. There quar-
tets will sing and musicians play
throughout the summer months. An
other feature Of this new church Is the
! fact that its doors are never to be
closed.
whats the use Of having place Of
worship that Is closed -sevenths Of
the timer" demanded the Rev. Charles
Reign Scoville, the pastor.
'There is no use," answered his con-
gregation. And it was decided never to
close the doors.
That means all departments of the
church will be wide open Any one
feeling bit too wideawake to seek
sleep can visit the library ut any hour
Of the night and there find literature
that will certainly do him no harm.
There is but one roof garden church In
the world, and the Metropolitan roof
garden place of worship will be the
first of its kind in Chicago The audi
forum will be 70 by 11G feet. A large
gallery will increase it's seating ca
pacity. The new church will also have
large gymnasium. 1t is not the inten-
ton to allow only the members Of the
church to use this. The boys and girls
Of the neighborhood, whether they are
members of any church, will be invited.
The musical department will be unusu-
ally strong. 1t Is expected the concerts
Will do much to make the roof garden
a popular place In the hot summer
months.

THE CRACK KEARSARGE.
Dimensions of the Record Breaking
Battle Ship.

Dimensions of the Record Breaking
Battle Ship.
The Kearsarge. which has broken all
records for speed of battle ships susr
tanned for long distances and which
won the admiration Of Emperor Will
liam Of Germany and the Prince OF
Wales and several admirals in Eng
land, was launched from the yards OF
the Newport News Shipbuilding and
Dry Dock company, Newport News
Va, at 1902 a. M, March "a. 1893, and
at 11.32 her sister ship, the Kentucky,
glided into the James river, says the
New York Tribune The dimensions
Of the two vessels are identical-water
line length, 1858 feet; beam. u feet 21a
inches; draft, q feet 5 inches; free
board, forward, IA feet inches; free
board, aft, 8 inches: displacement, H.
b25 tons.
The speed requirements were 10
knots. On her preliminary triel the
Kearsarge made TN knots, and the
Kentucky on her trial the same. Some
doubt exists as to which ship Is the
faster. The Kearsarge ranks as one
Ut the most formidable fighting ships
In the world. She IS armed with four
Ii inch and eight inch breechload-
ing rifles and fourteen 8 inch rapid
firing guns. There are twenty 6pound-
ers, six / Founders, four Colt rapid fire
boat guns and four Is inch torpedo
tubes.

scotIand's New Canal.

The scheme to build a ship canal
through Scotland has been approved
by the British government. The canal
will be made from the Firth Of Forth,
on the North sea, where a great naval
base is being constructed by the adj
miralty, to the Clyde, distance Of for
ty miles, and the cost is estimated at
$50,000,000. Commercially, the canal
would have great value in shortening
the route from the North and Baltic
seas to Quebec and New York.

from the walla Walla ComnssesaA
club called upon General Funso>
commanding the department on
Columbia, at the quarters OF Colonet
E. 8. Godfrey at the garrison
morning to consult with the genez~s
regarding his recent recommendauon
that Fort walla Walla be abandonaQ
as a military post. M
The committee were very courteouts
received by General Funston who us-
tened very attentively to what tne
gentlemen. had to cay In favor OF sns
retention of the garrison.
The general assured the commitfee
that he had no personal feelings IN rne
matter, but his recommendation hAo
been made along the lines Of the poncy
of the war department, with view OF
concentrating the United States troops
near the larger cities, in order tnat
better transportation facilities could
be taken advantage of.
Another objection that was advanc-
ed by the general was the fact that
the present garrison was not adequate
for the proper drilling and maneuver--
ing of cavalry troops. It required con-
siderable ground for this purpose and
the garrison here did not afford sum
cient territory. He believed that the
garrison could be used to great deal
better advantage as an infantry post
and that If the citizens of Walla Walla
desired that infantry be stationed
here he would not interpose any ob1ee-
tion.-.It would require an expenditure
Of about $4,000 to put the quarters
and other buildings at the fort In prop
er shape. Most Of the buildings were
old and some were in very dilapidAt-
ed condition. He admitted, howevee.
