LAYING THE CORNERSTONE.
At 5 o'clock last evening the cor
nerstone of the new Second Presby-
terrain church was laid with appro-
pirate ceremonies, under the superin-
tendence of the pastor, the Rev. j. 5.
Glendenning. The Rev. John c. Mil
Ter, d. D., president of Emporia col
Iege offered the invocation and was
followed by the Rev. J. A. Stavely of
the Kansas Avenue Methodist church
who read the scriptural lesson, Psalm
1872; 1 Cor. 1923.
Two strikingly pertinent addresses
were made, one by DR.. Miller and one
by the Rev. John Bailey, d. D., of
Topeka.
Dr. Miller was the first pastor of the
Second Presbyterian church and it
was largely through his efforts that
the old stone church, practically ruin
ed by the flood of 1903, was built. He
served as pastor for seven years, I'M
til 1885. His address was largely
reminiscent. He told the story of
their early struggles, their meetings.
for worship under difficulties, their
failures and their successes. As there
We're many of the old members pres
ent his story fell on interested ears.
Then he struck a higher chord He
told of the grandeur of the work they
were doing. He touched upon the in
f1uence that Christianity has done and
is now doing more effectively than
this beautiful structure that you are
building. is where the material will be
made for carrying on the Christian
work. Our Christian churches ana
our Christian homes are the manu-
factories of the best part of our civil
ization. 1t may be that you are not
now fully conscious of the value or
the work you are doing. In the very
track of devastation and ruin you are
erecting a monument that shall tell
the story of your faith and your en-
durance.''
DR.. Bafley's address was notable for
its vigor, it's courage and its inspira-
ton. He is venerable with age and
mental and moral growth. He spoke
of God and His methods. ''He is the
creator of all things, the earth and
the great stellar and solar systems.
One of Gods methods is to work
around centers. Our earth is CEN
ter, itself revolving around the sun,
another center, and so on throughout
all the great armament. Christian in
fuence is thrown out in the same
way. The home is the first Christian
center. Then comes the church. You
are building here an important Chris
tan center. 1t is to be dedicated to
Christian work, separate and distinct
from all secular interests. From it
blessings are to flow upon a wide

POLICE COURT NOTES.

Reports come from the district east
of the Santa Fe shops that a man,
presumably insane. is terrorizing the
residents of that neighborhood. The
man has a habit of wandering around
barefooted, and wearing nothing but
a pair of pants and a revolver, which
he waves around and occasionally
points at people. The police have
been notified of the mans actions, but
have failed to connect with him.
Lincoln McCaslin. the painter who
was arrested yesterday for refusing to
pay dog tax, was fined $40 in police
court this morning, and took an APP
peal. His attorneys commended that
three of the dogs on which he refused
to pay taxes were under taxable age,
and that no tax was due on them till
next year. The ordinance seemed to
bear out Nichols argument, but the
court could not see it that way.

SKULL HATS BRAIN.
MENTAL DEVELOPMENT OF NE
GRO DECLARED IMPOSSIBLE.
Evanston, ILL.,, Preacher Says Growth
Of Gray Matter Is Stopped at Age
Of Fourteen Causing Their
Backwardness.

That the childish characteristics and
oackwardness Of the negro race are
largely due to skull formation which
1nterferes with brain development was
the theory advanced by Rev. John H.
Boyd, pastor of the Evanston Qll.)
First Presbyterian church, in an adj
dress before the Evanston cooperative
class recently.
Scientific investigation discloses the
1act," said the Evanston divine, that
while the sinuosities in the skull of the
Caucasian do not close until the man
is 30 or 40 years old, yet in the negro
they close at about the age of IA. The
closing of these sinuosities interferes
with the development of the brain
This explains the phenomena so often
observed that while young negro chill
dren frequently learn faster than An
glo-Saxon children, yet after the age
! have mentioned they fall behind.
THUS the negro grows into manhood
retaining childish elements The pas
sive tendency is dominant. The def
cheney of brain power accounts for the
lack OF energy in the colored race
Scientific investigation also reveals
the fact that the skull capacity OF
weight OF the brain in the negro is less
tnan that of the Caucasian. The con-
