To tho Use of Rivers--Suit Between Col
 orado and kansas.
 Special to New York World.
 Arkansas City.-The suit of the State of Kansas against the State of Colorado, aris- ing over the waters of the Arkansas Rv- CT, and for which testimony is being taken at various town alopg the river in Kansas. promises to be far-reaching in It's effects, no matter which way 1t is disposed of It will forever decide in the United States the question of a States right to the water of a stream passing through 1t.
 The suit was started by KKansas upon the theory that the irrigation ditches in Col orado are taking so much water that the fertility Of the farms along the stream in Kansas Is destroyed They set up the claim that the State of Colorado has no right to take the water. to the detriment of the users further down the stream.
 On the other hand, Colorado claims that the waters of the river belongs to those that live along the stream, and that the people of Colorado have the right to use the water for the purpose of irrigation.
 The case will come up in the United States Supreme Court, and the testimony is being taken by Granville Richardson. of New Mexico, who, with the attorneys of both sides follows the course of the stream and takes the testimony in all the towns of im- portance Both States have employed the best attorneys. and they are making hard fight. The gathering of testimony will be completed by April 1, 1905. After that the case will be filed fin the court and will be taken up in It's regular order on the dock ct, which will probably be some time in the fall of next year.

A PICTURESQUE ARMY
EGHTIETH YEARS WORK OF SUNDAY
 SCHOOL UNION.
What is Being Done for Children Who Are Not Reached by Any Other
 Agency,

The RRev. J. H. Mccullough, of Hen- derson, Ky, superintendent of the Southern repartment of the American Sunday School union for the States of Kentucky, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Ala bama and Mississippi, sends the fol lowing statement with a request for It's publications:
 The American Sunday School union recently completed its eightieth years work for the neglected children of our country. and is furnishing the press with some interesting facts. Being an undenominational work, helpful to the church in every State, its success will give widespread satisfaction.
 If we could take all the scholars and teachers who were enrolled in the schoolos organized by the American Sunday School union last year and form them into column, standing five abreast in ranks, allowing feet to each rank. in good marching order we would have a picturesque Sunday school army array in solid phalanx more than eleven miles long.
 If we were strong enough to walk eleven miles along this vast host, we would be surprised to see so many barefooted boys and girls with calico dresses and sunbonnets. While plain ly clad, most of them have intelligent faces We would observe they have been supplied with good literature. More than 27.000 Bibles and Testa- ments have been counted in their hands; also about the same number of song and library books, and many thousand lesson papers.
 To review this great Sunday-school army 97.s00 strong, which the Ameri- can Sunday-school union recruited, or ganized and equipepd all in one year, would be an impressive sight. Many decisive battles of the worlds history have been gained by force not so large. To hear this army of children sing would be inspiring and cheering.
 If we should take those who were converted in the Sunday schools organ ized by the society, and stand them side by side, single file. allowing two feet to each this line of young com verts would reach nearly four miles.
 A Mile of Churches.
 The American Sunday School union has been called the pioneer and re- cruiting agency for the churches. If we could take all the churches which grew out Of Union Bible schools last year. and stand them end to end. allow ing 40 feet to each. we would have the imposing sight of a line of churches reaching one mile.
 Many of them are neat and tasty, some very plan. Among these 133 new

pr. OsIer's Call to Oxford.

Oxford has reached across the sea and taken the leading American medi- cal man to her regius professor of medicine. Dr. William Osler of Johns Hopkins, Is the man. How did Ox- ford get him? There was nothing In his line in this country that he could not have had. Johns Hopkins was proud of him and devoted to him; Harvard. which gave him a IL. D. last commencement. would gladly have had his help in the reorganization of her famous medical school. just now start ing with a new plant and huge endow- ment on a career of great promise. And Dr. Osler's private practice was just as extensive and remunerative as he chose to make 1t. But Oxford call ed him. and he has said Yes. There seems to be room for explanation and the explanation doubtless Is that Dr. Osler was born and grew up under the British flag In Canada. and though he has lived for twenty years in the Uni ted States, he Is as much at home in England as here, and as ready to serve one public as the other.

Wire Fences and Lightning.

Since the use of wire fences has become so extensive the number of cattle killed each year by lightning has greatly increased. Farmers insurance companies have in- vestigated the matter and now come for ward with a warning to policy holders. Nearly all of the cattle killed by lightning have met their death in open fields, where in many instances there was not even a tree to attract the electric fluid. As many dead cattle were found near wire fences this led to the discovery that the lightning was car ried along the wires composing the fences. During a severe storm cattle are liable to run until stopped by fence Here they stand huddled together ready for the bolt. remedy is suggested in running a ground wire every ten rods several feet into the earth.

churches may be found many reprssen-

churches may be found many represen- tatives of the various denominations. Imposing as the foregoing columns are. other features of the Unions work | are equally as impressive. If we should | take all the schools which the society
 strengthened during the year and place them side by side. allowing 30 feet to
 each. we would have solid line of
 Sunday schools 72 miles long. The multitudes who attended the 450 | public addresses delivered each week | by missionaries of the society and the | young people fin Union schools would also bean interesting sight. The men who did this wonderful w0k
 would form an interesting procession. | The 259 faithful missionaries employed | by the society, some fin their little wagons some on horseback, others on foot, all endurinug hardships, to evan | geliZe tho destitute.
 | S30 Miles of Homes. During the year missionaries of the Union visited thousands of home. many of whom have rarely. if ever, been en- , tered a Christian minister. By words | literature they secured the hearty CO., | operation of many parents in the good work.
 If we could take these 221, 800 homes visited by the missionaries, and place them side by side, allowing 20 feet to each house, we would have a line of homes S30 miles long extending over hill and valley, further than from Philadelphia, Pa. to Louisville, Ky.
 1. Vast as this labor was, 1t should not be regarded as something new or unusual, for the society is doing sub- stantially as much, year after year, as there are yet about 112. .000.0 chfi- dren and youth in our country who have not been enrolled in any Sum day school: a number larger than a1l the standing armies of Europe corn- bined. we can readily see how greatly this work should be enlarged. ?. Many communities where these schools were organized will not ba able to support church for years to come This Is all the greater reason why they should now have goood Sum- day schools.
 3. In perfect loyalty to the churches, the society provides for the children who are not reached by any other agency. Nothing has been found which takes the place of Bible instruction for establishing noble principles in the minds of the young and uplifting the true standard of morals.
 The American Sunday School Union desires to furnish full particulars re- garding the method. expense and re- suits of its work
