On q Sunday Afternoon.

To Editor of the Journal and Courier
 On the platform of Woolsey Hall yes- terday uplifters of the world were busy but happy To labor for others is a blessed thing, Especially Is this true when it is done with such self-efface- ment, such self-abnegation as has been shown by our latest band of saviors of the universe.
 The classic walls of Woolsey Hall yesterday just dripped with charity. The sunlight that peered through the windows struck, the harp of bucolic song which blended with the earnest voices and serious faces of the speakers and reached a grand climax of ethereal satisfaction. This beautiful climax transferred us from the wickedness and sordidness of the city and it's insurance presidents and gambling houses to the country road, and we saw Reuben and Silas swapping horses again, We saw wickedness disappear; we saw policy holders smiling with gladness when they paid their premiums to the insur- ance agents; we saw that the shooting of craps was merely throwing jack stones; we saw that being drunk was merely a touch of dizziness; we saw | that making love to your neighbor's S wife was veritable charity; we saw a gynecocracy and were happy. The ex- pression of appreciation was written upon every face in the audience. This expression of appreciation ran to satis- faction-it became philosophical. It seemed to say; We have 10 hear this some time; it's better now than after dirner Perhaps the next dinner we go to we may be permitted to enjoy" The meeting is therefore justified.
 No shamanism about this band of aI- truists. It is the real thing, and is ben citing the lowly and minimizing as no

chimney is SS3 feet inches, or 952 feet ' inches above the surface; the top of the chimney has also the rather un- common altitude of 5791.3 feet above sea level The foundation of the chimney. goes [ feet below the surface, the lower portion being formed of slag poured in the molten state into a gray iron casting 100 feet square, giving an area of 10000 square feet.
 This process was repeated six times, giving a foundation IS feet deep, taper ing to 50 2-3 feet square at the top, and full of various forms of metal sown through the slag. As feet of this are in the ground, there is necessarily a height of Il feet above the ground. The base, which rests upon the slag foundation, is of Portland cement con- crete, AZ feet square and SA feet high in the centre, the concrete also having metal distributed through it, some of which projects up above the base, to help retain the walls of the chimney having a resemblance to the roots of tree,
 The chimney proper was formed in system of sectional moulds S1s feet high, which when coupled together al complete ring. The concrete walls contain vertical and horizontal steel bars, the number reducing as the height increases, and also rings of 1 inch T

FOR QUIET AFTER.

If human beings are ever entitled to quiet it is just after they have been wisely or foolishly married. They need quiet then, aud little time to think about what they have done. We believe they are also entitled to what the reporters call "a quiet home we'd ding" or even a quieter wedding, but fashion and ambition have so much to say about that that we won't say any thing. We shall, however, insist on the right to quiet after any kind of we'd ding. Therefore, we commend the ac- tion of young man named Mossbury who has just been married in a small Pennsylvania town. With that elegant perception of what is polite and proper that often distinguishes young people in country towns, a party of young men undertook to give Mir. Mossbury "a wedding serenade." They riddled the shade trees and the porch and other parts of the house with bullets and shot, severely injured his father, and angered because he objected to their presence, wound ID by exploding five sticks of dynamite, sIlattering every window in the house. MT. Mossbury has sworn out warrants for the arrest of forty men whom he identified as be- ing present on that occasion, and has also brought civil suits for damages against them.
 Success to Mir. Mossbury. If justice is done and if the young men have any thing, he will get enouga out of his suits to make marriage a success for him, as far as money is concerned,

military officers. When the differences which were the inevitable consequence of the novel position in which he for the. first time found himself were re- ferred home, the late government, fol- lowing the practice of the preceding year, appointed a committee to look into the matter. They came to a deci
 sion which was the exact reverse of that of the committee of the preceding year. They proposed to abolish the of ficial in India equivalent to the secre- tary of state for war in this country, and to transfer wholesale to the com- mander-in-c all his administrative functions. The late government adopt ed these suggestions with extraordina- ry haste. The committee only reported on May 26, which was Friday. On the following Tuesday, May 30, the Cabinet, which, with the exception of Lord Lansdowne, contained no one of any experience, passed very lengthy controversial dispatch summarily over ruling an Indian government by fore ing upon them a scheme of administra- ton which was the exact reverse of that which they had adopted for them- selves in the preceding year for the ad- ministratioh of the British army. The dispatch went to India on May 31''' He l then proceeds to ridicule the scheme proposed in this document by which certain military officers were assigned to duty in two distinct capacities, as members of the headquarters staff, and of the military department in one of
 which they were bound to obey Lord Kftcheners orders, and in the other to discuss and report upon them. He says
 the plan was adopted without authori- ty, and under pressure"

GREAT COUNTRY, GREAT EXPENSE

It is expected that the Postal anpro- priation bill will be reported to the house to-day. It will carry total of $19l, ,000,000 in round numbers an in- crease of just about $1O,000, 900. The expected postal deficit for the next year is $11, 100000, a falling off of s, ,OOO,- 900 from the deficit of the past year. Contrary to general expectation, there will be nothing in the bill looking to reduction in the amount of money paid to the railroads for carrying the mails. Chairman Overstreet, of the Committee on Post offices and Post roads believes that the bill will stand the severest ex- animation for flaws Although the to- tai amount carried in the measure is greater than ever before, the percent age of increase is lower than for any year in the past decade. During that period the average yearly increase in the postal appropriation was GA per cent This year the gain Is only 5.7 per cent. The biggest item Of increase in the bill is for rural free delivery, which has been bugaboo to the economists for many years The expenditures for the current year on this account will be $25,000,OOO, and for the new year S2S,- 100000 has been authorized, a gain of about 12 per cent,
 The talk is that the committee and the bill will be subjected to a great deal of criticism on the floor because of the failure to cut down7the pay of the rail- roads. Chairman Overstreet expects attacks on this point, and will be pre- pared to meet them. He will say that the question of revising the rates of railroad pay is entirely too large and important to be hastily disposed of; that if it is to be legislated upon there ought to be thorough inquiry and ma ture deliberations He will say that it is something that could not well be ad- justed in an appropriation bill as 1t would be subject to a point or order, and an objection from any member could knock it out And so forth and so on. Great country, great expenses.

On top of the IS inch wall starts the double shell of the chimney, the outer shell being inches thick, the inner shell inches thick, these shells being separated by a 4 inch air space, which at the bottom is con nected with the atmosphere through the outer shell by portholes.
 The inside shell extenus to a neigh of 1O1 1-2 feet above the. base, and the outer shell is offset over the inner shell, as can be seen on the exterior of the chimney, the air space being left entirely open on the inner side of the chimney, and the inner smell perfectly free from the outer shell at the top. The outer is then carried seven inches thick to the top of the chimney The outside diameter of the chimney at the bottom is 21 feet, and the diameter of the upper shell is 10 feet 2 inches.
 The weight of the chimney is a fol- lows: Slag foundation, 12,SOO tons; con- crete base, 1000 tons, chimney proper, 1,475 tons This chimney besides be- ing the largest and highest concrete chimney in the world, is one of the largest chimneys In the United States. San Franscisco Chronicle.

THE PURSUIT

Yesterday morning an aspiring dog' hungry for better things, might have been seen, and was seen, on the Green, actively chasing beautiful dove. The dove flew just high enough to encour- age the dog, which raced and raced in futile pursuit until it was so tired that ie could run no more, and could only stand and look and long.
 Yesterday afternoon in the noble Woolsey Hall, aspiring men and wom' en- hungry for better things also chas- ed the winged ideal, which seemed to be only an encouraging distance above them. They didn't get tired out in the pursuit, and they are going to do some more chasing-much more, if necessary Let us all fervently hope that the ideal will fly enough lower, or the aspiring men and women learn to fly enough higher, so that the pursuit may finally be as fruitful as it is promising.

 the commander-in-chief paramount ,, over civil authority in India and re- suited in the resignation of Lord Cur zon from the vice-royalty. He says

 predecessor. He proposes to kill it not
 by a trumpet-sounding ukase, but by attaching to it conditions which make it unavoidable" He goes on to say that in South Africa and Egypt Lord
 Kitchener was practically a military

Correction.

To Editor of the Journal and Courier:
 z. Thanking you for publishing my arti- cles on matters of general interest, I wish for a correction of my fault or the compositor's. I intended to say that the net income from taxable property had decreased of late years, and not increased, as this hardly makes sense with what follows. In regard to West river, it should be six city bridges, all to be provided with draws.

Half the attacking force will sweep down on a peaceful village, engaging dn bloody fight with the inhabitants, while the other half will drive away the herds. The Nasal have a wonderful lzrack in the management of cattle.

District Attorney Allen, of Astoria, Oregon, has decided that woman can- not be a county school superintendent in that State, and Miss Emma Warren, who now fills that position in Clatsop county, is likely to lose her place. Miss Warren was appointed by the county court to complete an unexpired term, the man holding the office having died. The district attorney finds that the State constitution provides that no per- son shall be elected or appointed to a county office who is not an elector, and the. same authority defines an elector as male citizen.
