No Parade Tomorrow.
on account of the rainy weather
and bad condition of the streets it
will be impossible to have the school
childrens parade tomorrow, and that
event has been called off by City SUI

felt because the parade cannot be
held, as the children have been well
trained for the occasion and would
have made splendid showing. They
were to march in platoons of six, with
an interval of 10 feet between each
platoon. The children from the vari-
Gus rooms were to march under the
direction of officers selected from
among the pupils.
But while the parade has been
abandoned, the forenoon exercises in
the theater will be held as scheduled.
This will consist of musical pro-
gram, prayer and memorial address
by Judge w. R. Ellis.

forded Material for Argument by
the Brightest Men In the Prcsby-
terian Church-Auditorium Holding
5000 People Was Filled and Over
flow Meetings Held.

That the recent general assembly
of the Presbyterian church held in
Des Moines, Iowa, was the most in
teresting and historical session ever
held, is declared by delegates return
ing from the meeting.
This morning A. Hunter of Ken
drick, Idaho, a brother of Lewis
Hunter, the we'll known furniture
dealer of this city, passed through the
city from Des Moines to his home and
spoke entertainingly of the assembly.
He says that the large auditorium of
Des Moines, with a capacity of about
1000 people, was filled to overflowing
at every session, and on special occa-
sions overflow meeting would be held
in other places in the city.
The greatest contest of the assem-
bly, was over church union with the
Cumberland branch. There were able
men on both sides of the question and
some of the most thrilling oratory
ever heard in Des Moines was heard
in the arguments for and against a
church.
The agreement of union finally
agreed upon is generally satisfactory
and the churches as body are well
pleased that the dividing lines have
been swept away. The greatest tech
nical point in the argument against
union arose over the disposition of
church property. This was amicably
settled, as decisions from able judges

sRAvEp ANGER OF KING.
Lafayette Flaunted Liberty Medal In
Face of Louis.

Shortly after Lafayette's return to
France from his second sojourn in
America, he was at Versailles, where
the king was about to review a divi-
sion of troops. Lafayette was asked
to join in the review.
He was dressed in the American uni
form, and was standing by the side OF
the Prince de Conde. when the king,
in his tour of conversation with the
officers, came to him, and. after
speaking on several topics. asked him
some questions about his uniform and
the military costume of the United
States. The kings attention was at
tracted by little medal attached to
the generals coat. and he asked what
1t was.
Lafayette replied that 1t was SYM
boil which 1t was the custom OF for
cign officers in American service to
wear and that it bore a device.
and what is the device upon
yours?" asked the king.
MY device" said the young gen
eral. pointing to his medal, "is a lib
erty pole standing on broken crown
and scepter."
The king smiled. and with some
pleasantly upon the republican pro-
pensities of French Marquis In
American uniform. turned the conver.
sation 4nto other channels. Conde
looked grave, but was silent-The

Hindu Moon Lore.

The full eclipse of the moon was OBJ
served in Singapore on the night of
August 4. According to the Hindus
this eclipse is the contact between
the moon and another planet called
Rahoo, but the masses believe that
owing to the will of God, Rahoo. or the
serpentlike planet, catches hold of the
moon by its hideous mouth and re
leases 1t after short time.
At the first contact the Hindus
bathe principally in the sea and anxi-
ously await the release. After the
contact they take another bath. Dur
ing the interval they are not allowed
even to drink a cup of water as their
belief is that all things in the world
get polluted during the contact.-Sing-
