An event of unusual interest to
Christian Scientists occurred at Con-
cord, N. H., July II. An invitation
was sent to all Christian Scientists
to participate in the dedication of a
newly completed ediflce which is the
gift of Mrs. Eddy to the members Of
her home church. Many Christian
Scientists were present and special
trains were run from New York and
Boston. Services were held at half
past ten q. m, three in the after
noon and balf-past seven p. m. At
each of these a message from the
leader was read.
The cost Of the building has exceed
ed 100000 Of which Mrs. Eddy con-
tributed large proportion. Unsolic-
tied donations from other Christian
Science churches swelled the original
estimate of $4,000 to the present
amount.
The architecture Of the building is
Italian Gothic and the exterior is of
rock-faced Concord granite. The
stone tower Is surmounted with a
lantern which rises to height of les
feet and forms a landmark to the
surrounding country. The designs
were prepared by Messrs. Allen &
Collins Of Boston.
The seating capacity of the audi
torium is about one thousand, and
the Quarted oak pews are a gift from
the six Christian Science churches Of
Chicago. The interior decoration is
quiet and attractive, and on the walln
there are several Bible texts and quo.
tations from the Christian Science
text book.
1t has always been Mrs. Eddy's
wish that the home church should
represent the labor and material OF
Concord itself. This city is famous
for its granite Quarries, which pro.

Makes Personal Inspection.


The jury was summoned by Judge
]. w. MCKINNEY of the st. Louis
county circuit court last week after
he had made a personal visit to the
district near Delmar garden. The
questionable places we're reported
closed, but any one desiring to engage
in game could, Il was told the Judge,
be accommodated. The only change
was that the bankers had been laid
of and outwardly the gambling places
had the appearance of being out of
business. The alleged immoral side
shows, some Of which were used on
the outside for a drawing card for the
gambling dens in the rear. were not
in operation when Judge MCKINNEY
called. But the officials at Clayton
had described the locations and situa-
tiOns to him, which, with the general
appearance Of the places with the
gamblers strolling about, convinced
the court that a grand jury could fine
something to do.
The jury is to convene Monday.
August 8, and will probably remain
in session until the jury for the Sep
TENDER term of circuit is empanneled.

Virginia Is No "QuitteT. !"

The Norfolk Landmark is dis

abandoned because the experience Of
St Louis has demonstrated that peo-
pie are tired of expositions.

heaviest guns. 1t is well to nip such
an impression before it gains any
Roadway. But we doubt very much
ii anyone really interested in Vir-
ginia and its people would credit the
story an instant.
An exposition of any size is a Ereat
enterprise But Virginia is a great
State and its history is full of great
events due to the sturdiness, energy,
ingenuity, and character OF a great
people. However noteworthy its ter
centenary celebration Of the settle
ment of jamestown may be. it viii
not reflect half the spirit or the small
est fraction Of the labor which Vir-
ginia has been putting forth since 1880
to develop her seaports. And it is the
steady, slow, mOnot0nous work of
every day which reveals character,
not the grardstand squirt which
creates an exposition.
We 60 not think anyone who knows
anything about Virginia doubts the
ultimate success of the jamestown Ex-
position. We ourselves fear only that
il may not be sufficiently advertised.
To that end we are glad for the op-
portunity in this way to direct the
attention of Washington TO it anew.
