re modelling OF their present build
ing to John w. Vsndiver. The
plans adopted will make practically
a new building. The psesen,
structure will he raised two feet
and a half and q basement placed
under the whole OF the main
toom.
This basement will contain .
lecture room in the east end that
will have comfortable sittings for
$50. and capacity for 400. This
room will have an outside entrance
on the east, with eight large win.
dows on three sides ard thorough
ventilation from all directions,
making il bright. beautiful and
comfortable at all times Movable
partitions will divide into class
rooms for Sunday School use.
Connected with this, at the south
west corner of church, will be .
kitchen, and at the northwest
corner the pastors study. both
with outside entrances, while be.
tween the two will be the furnace
room. The removal OF the stoves
from the auditorium above will,
with careful seating, increase Its
situngs to $50. the largest Of any
church in the county. II further
enlargement becomes necessasy in
the near titnIe. the main auditoTi-
nm eau be. extended to the west at
Sigh, expense, and il it seems wise
to build brick church at any time
the new basement cIn be utilized.
so that nothing whatever OF the
present expenditure will be lost.
This shows that sound business
sense is directing the movement,
which was insueursted before the
decision of the Santa Fe to rebuild
its shops here IL is also propos-
ed that the improvements shall be
paid for locally. without appearing
before the outside world in the
garments OF beggary.
Although comparatively new
town. La Junta has. according to
official reports. nearly half mill
lion dollars OF deposits in her
home banks. and is abundantly
able to bnild her own churches
and pay her own bills. IL is bel
lieved that our citizens will appse-
ciate the courage and good sense
displayed by the congregation.
The site is the most eligible for
church uses IN the city. The
three lots occupied on the corner
OF Santa Fe and Illinois will be
beautified by lawns. The new
lecture room will stand open to
the public three hundred and sixty
fiv- days in sbe year, and the pas

COLLEGE ATHLETES FIELD WORK.


Emory Has Candidates in Training.
Emory College, oxford. Ga, Feb. 20.
Manager Richardson of the Emory
track team has received communica-
tions from the managers of both Uni
versity of Georgia and Tech track
teams announcing their willingness to
enter a three-cornered track and field
meet to be held in Atlanta May 6. He
has issued a call for all candidates
who intend trying for the team. About
thirty men have handed in their
names. The list of the candidates in
cludes Hentz, Crovat, Boyd, Barron,
Hearn, King, Beddingfeld, Rumble,
Ficklen, Bray. Lynn and McCamy and
others who made some fine records
both in the local track meet last
spring and in the dual meet with
Georgia.
Emory has a splendid chance of put
ing out a winning team and both Man
ager Richardson and Prof. Frank
Clyde Brown, the physical director OF
the college will bend every effort to
this end. BY a careful glance at the
score card of the Georgia Emory meet
last spring it will be readily seen that
Emory has a very good foundation for
the hope of winning the triple meet in
Atlanta. Emory was defeated by the
Crackers in the dual meet last spring
by margin of 20 points. A week
later the Blacksmiths tried conclusions
with Georgia in dual meet and were
defeated by a margin of 3S. There
are bearing, Harmon and Baxter, the
three men who scored SO out of to-
tai SO point for Georgia in the dual
meet with Emory last spring, who
have either graduated or dropped out
of college, which will seriously handi-
cap the Crackers this spring. On the
other hand Emory has not suffered any
such loss,

EVANGELIST WHISTLED
IN THE PULPIT.
MIR. Mcconnell wanted Congregation
10 Get in Tune.

MIR. Mcdonnell Wanted Congregation
10 Get in Tune.
In order that his congregation might
catch the tune Rev. Lincoln McCon-
nell. the detective-p preacher, whistled
a hymn in Trinity Church at the serv-
ices last night.
This is no place for a cowardly
church and no time for a people who
fear" said Mr.. Mcconnell in begin
ming his address. This is no place
for soldiers Of Christ who do not take
up their arms in the onward march
against sin"
His sermon was on What It Means
TO BE Free Indeed" He took for his
text John, S:36. If the Son there
fore make you free. you shall be free
indeed" His theme was on the differ
ence between freedom and liberty and
he said there were many men who had
gone so long in the old rut of sin that
it was impossible for them to realize
when they were freed from this yoke
of oppression.
4 have absolute contempt for a
preacher who is not free-who is a
coward 1 have seen many preachers
who were afraid to admit that their
souls were their own. and who would
stick their heads up and catch the
drift OF the wind and then follow in
the tide.
But this is not alone confined to
the preachers. There are some mem
bers OF this church who can go to a
political meeting. and talk until they
have to be pulled down. and yet when
they are asked to get up here in
church and say word for Christ their
voice deserts them. They fear; they
are towards. Then, you find the
Christians who are 'hampered' and
afraid to open their mouth inside the
church door.
I do not believe that travelling
preachers are any bigger liars than
station preachers and I declare that
the thing that Trinity needs most is
men and women who do not fear You
need men and women who are not

afraid to speak out in meeting, or go
and kneel down with brother and in
wife him to Christ.
Smile, I do not object to the
smiles of a congregation, as 1 have
long since learned that when thing
makes you laugh you remember it."
MIR. Mcconnell said he does not care
for formalities and that the only use
he has for them is to smash them.

DISCUSSION IN HOUSE
Upon the Matter of Negroes Dining
Mt the White ffouse.

Washington, Feb. 2s.-During the
consideration of the District of Co
lumbia Appropriation bill in the House
to-day. Mr.. Scott of Kansas made the
declaration that negro had dined at
the White House with President Cleve-
land during the latters first admin
:stration.
The statement was prompted by a
reference by Mr.. Gilbert of Kentucky
to the dining of Booker Washington
at the White House. Mr.. Gilbert, and
others on the minority side said they
| had never heard of the incident. and
when the name was demanded, Mr..
Scott said it was c. H. j. Taylor, who
was appointed by President Cleve-
| land as recorder of deeds for the Dis
tr:ct OF Columbia.
Referring to the declaration of a
Republican platform for freedom and
equality" Mr.. Gilbert mentioned the
| retention of Minnie Cox as postmaster
at Indianola. Miss, and to the APP
Dointment Of, Crum as. collector at
Charleston. S. c.. and he made ref
erence to the dining of Booker Wash
ington at the White House. undertake
ing to describe the seating of the
Presidents family at the table.
MIR. Scott of Kansas asked Mr.. Gill
bert if he would criticise a Democratic
President, If he should have negro
dine with him. as severely as he crlti-
cised President Roosevelt.
IAN impossible assumption declar-
ed MIR. Gilbert.
Mr.. Scott asked him if he did not
know that a negro dined at the White
House during President Cleveland s
first administration. to which Mr.. Gill
bert replied that the Democrats We're
not particularly claiming Mr.. Cleve-
land and that he was not a tirst-class
Democrat.
Invited Taylor to Dine.
Mr.. Scott then said that c. H. J..
Taylor, a negro from Kansas, was
brought to Washington, and was taken
to the White House when Mr.. Cleve-
land invited him to dine with him,
which invitation. he said. was accept
I'D.
Mr.. Scott drew a contrast between
Washington and Taylor, saying the
former was man of recognized abil-
ity and had been the guest of distin-
guished people at home, and abroad,
including Queen Victoria. and declared
that Taylor had nothing to commend
him. save the. claim that he carried
the Democratic negro vote in his peck
ct. He said further that Taylor had
been appointed to a position in Wash
| ington. And by Cleveland" suggested
