ST. LOUIS CHURCH
HAS A SUNDAY
SCHOOL ORCHESTRA.
Organized by Walton w Steele
a Former Butler Boy.

Globe. Democrat.
Among the many novelties In the
church work of this city, among the
latest and most attractive is q Sun
day School orchestra. Two or three
years ago Mr.. W. W. Steele, a young
business man of the city, connected
with the Lucas Avenue Presbyterian
church, conceived the idea that the
Sunday school exercises might be
rendered more entertaining by the
introduction Of other instruments
besides the plano to accompany the
singing. The services OF two or three
volunteer performers were secured, a
beginning was made with three wind
instruments, the innovation proved
popular, and one by one other per-
formers came In until now there ie q
very nice orchestra OF nineteen per-
formers. AS might be expected, the
strings predominate, but nearly all
the wood-winds and brssses are rep
resented and although there are no
timpani, they are hardly missed.
Several Of the performers are young
ladies, and the young men vary In
age from a small but very earnest
violinist Of IL to an equally earnest
enthusiast whose locks are tinged
with gray. All, leader included, are
amateurs, and although Of course
their performances are not to be
judged from a professional point Of
view, there are professional organi-
sations In the city that have been
known to do worse work.

Of the Sunday school, accompany

UPHOLDS The 8.HOUR LAW.
The Decision Announced of the

Court.

Washington, May 2O.-Justice Hol.
mes, OF the Supreme court of the
United States, announced q decision
inseven cases involving the construc.
tion OF the law OF 1892 by which the
employment OF laborers and mechan-
les on public works is limited to eight
hours a day. The defendants were
all llprosecuted criminally and were all
found guilty and fined BY the trial
court.
The suits were instituted especially
for the purpose Of testing the appli-
cability Of the Law to laborers and
mechanics employed on dredges In
river and harbor improvements, but
other points also we're necessarily In
volved. The court held the law to
be constitutional, but held that 1t

ployed upon public works.
All the cases came to the Supreme
court on writs OF error from the fed
eral court for the district OF Massa-
chusetts. Justice Moody delivered a
dissenting opinion. The decision will
have immediate hearing upon the
letting Of contracts for the 81 million
dollars worth Of river and harbor
work authorized BY the last session
Of Congress. Most Of the contracts
under that law were held up by the
War department. pending the settle.

came wriggling down thu trunk OF

gliding down the tree. Not knowing
their danger, the children ran over to
the serpent, which was about three
feet from the ground, and were about
to pick 1t up In their hands, when the
llstle kitten, seeing the moving object
on the tree trunk, clambered up after
it, and pulled 1t to the ground
There the snake wrapped Itself
around the kitten, which promptly
lay on its back and clawed vigorous

into the house, shouting that the
kitty was playing wish a big worm"
but nothing was thought OF 1t until
several minutes later, when they came
In again and excitedly said that the

Armed with clothes props and
brooms, the children's mother and
grandmother attacked the snake
and after five minutes compelled +
to relinquish It's hold on the kitten,
which had to be held from continu-
ing the attack, while the snake
crawled rapidly.
