The matter OF tie parsonage being
well ont Of the way the question Of a
new church edifce again began to be
considered. In his report to the fourth
quarterly conference Of his seccnd year
Mr.. Smithers said, 1--WE feel that the
best interests of Methodism in Barre
demand that something shonld be done
in the way Of church building" This
evidently met with general concurrence
in the board as Fl. L. Gale, Rev. w. S.
Smithers, G. i. Bngbee and Rev. }. a.
Sherburn were appointed "a committee
to consider the matter of repairing this
(the old edifeo), or building new
church, and report at an adjourned

Committees Recommendation.

AT meeting held April II, 1892 the
committee made the following report:--
1T was voted by the committee that
we recommend: /. The erection Of a
new church the total cost Of which
shall not exceed $4,000, provided not
less than 81 900 be raised by subscrip-
ton before commencing work; 2. That
when we build new church the sit
tings be free; 3. That committee Of
not less than three nor more than FIVE
be elected by the quarterly conference
to solicit funds for the erection of
new church and report to meeting of
the official board to be held at the call
of the pastor within one MONTH" This
report was accepted and adopted, and

are of character and proportions be-
fitting the size and prestige Of the de
nomination by which they are owned.
They make fitting home for the
preacher and mis- family Because OF
extra work he had done, and losses
which he had incurred in carrying ont
the contract, the society paid to c. L,
Bugbee the sum of $3.50 above the spe-
cited price, this making tho grand
total expended $3,24S.45. This left a
debt Of 500, which was speedily raised
by Pastor Smitliers.

A Successful Canvass.

The election Of this committee proved
two things: first, that the right per-
sons had been selected for the difficult
task; second, that the psychological mo.
ment for the erection of new church
had arrived The greater part Of the
work of securing the pledges was done
by Mr.. Smithers, though all Of the
members of the committee helped, and
Mrs. Elmer was especially efficient. Be-
fore the close of the Conference year
over $4,000 had been secured in good
pledges, and the work was turned over
to his successor. The raising of this
sum was a remarkable achievement.
two things should be remembered: the
society had suffered severely because Of
the Withdrawals on account of the Sun
day school difficulty; and the eommuni-
ty was in the midst Of prolonged
strike in the granite business, that be-
ing by far the most serious labor trou-
bic the place has known up to this time
Yet, in spite of these and all other diff
fieulties, the work went on, the funds
were secured, and the new church was
made possibility. Great credit is due
Mr.. Smithers for this achievement.
Numerical Gains.
During Mr.. Smither's pastorate he
took on probation 60 persons, an av.
erage Of 20 a year, and received into
full connection 3s, or SIS per cent. Of
the same. In addition TO this a large
number were received by letter. Thus
the spiritual and material interests of
the church both received the most care
full attention during his pastorate Of
three years

Hence, it is not surprising that Sc
rious depletion in numbers ensued.
Many Of the members left the congre-
cation and began to attend service else
where, some ceased going to church al.
together. An independent and rival
Sunday school was established which
flourished for time, and the outlook
for the church seemed somewhat dark.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. April 6.-Sec-
rotary Taft today gave "a hearing to
Governor Cummins of Iowa in support
of the desire Of the officials of that
state to have the inscriptions on the
Iowa monuments IN the Shiloh Battle
field Park amended so that they shall
show the time that the various Iowa
regiments arrived on the field of battle.
The war department. after an ex-
haustive consideration OF the matter.
recently rejected the request for a
change in the inscriptions. The Iowa
authorities were not satisfied with the
decision. and Governor Cummins APP
pealed to the president. Mr.. Roosevelt,
referred the question to Secretary aft

1t is believed that as result of the
efforts Of Governor Cummins the de-
partment will give permission for the

Woman Footpad in indiana

MARION, Ind. April S.-The last
man in Marion the police would expect
a woman to hold up reported that he
was the victim of a female footpad.
Morris Tygart, aged As. a man of
large build and apparently very strong.
complained to the police that while he
was walking on a freQuented street
near the business center OF the city a
woman suddenly appeared and, SHOW
ing a revolver in his face, compelled
him to throw up his hands. She then
coolly went through his pockets with
one hand while she covered him with
the revolver she held in the other. and
took $25.
Tygart said he followed the woman
some distance after she robbed him
and saw her meet a man and give him
the money.

Under a Paris date. the following
highly interesting statement: The
Metropolitan Subway excavations in
Paris have again been bringing to
light remains OF primeval man which
ought not to be passed by. even in the

contact with what was the humaniza-
ton OF the world. and that should
surely be as interesting as an extinct
civilization. The excavation is a little

be somewhere on the fashionable gown

for collarless necks is found in the

useful colors. Silk or embroidered me-

pany with it is a narrow silk or mer
