"The late Sir William Henry Per

talking about the missionary move

a warm supporter of this movement.

ing the phase he meant by quota

the notable Capt. Davis to Secretary
Washington about. the convention of
the Indians:
THE letter ran:
"If these people (the Indians) were

faith, they might soon be brought to
relish more civilized kind of life,

THEIR ONLY NEED.
II Was Not Filled but the Sergeant

Lord Dundonald, commander in
chief Of the Canadian militia, recently
gave q dinner at Toronto to the mem.

Canada. Notwithstanding his lord
ships title of nobility and his high
military rank he is very democratic.
During the progress of the dinner he
made a tour of the tables, accompani-
ed by members of his staff, and wish
Ing to put the men completely at their
ease, made a few commonplace re-
marks and asked II there was any
thing they desired to have.
Now, don't be backward" he said.
III everything is not all right just say

OF course no one would think of
making a complaint to the commander
in chief at such time, but as he
asked once more II there was not
something the men desired, a sergeant
arose, saluted and said, I'VE would
like to have some oysters"
The absurdity OF the request. on a
red hot summers night, was so pal
pable his lordship was silenced, and
he walked quietly on, asking no more
questions. The sergeant, however, was
the hero of the evening for having
dared to speak to real live lord.

WANT LOCATION
ON MAIN STREET
Railway Young Mems Christian
Association Will Put Build
ing There.
NO UNION PASSENGER DEPOT

Considerable interest was manifested
yesterday In a published story in which
1t was stated that a great union pas
senger terminal was soon to be erected
on the site of and adjoining the pres
ent Main Street station of the Chesa-
peake and Ohio and the Seaboard Air
Line Railway. 1t was stated in this con-
nection that President Stevens, OF the
Chesapeake and Ohio; Presidents James
Ger OF the Pennsylvania, and Baer.
OF the Reading systems. and Finley, OF
the Southern Railway. had been here In
conference last week on the subject. and
1t was lntimated that the project had
then been practically determined upon.
In order to get a positive statement from
one of the reported conferees. a repre-
sentative of Tho Times dispatch called
on President Stevens, of the Chesapeake
and Ohio. and asked him as to the re-
port. He declared with quiet positiveness
that he knew nothing whatever of the
plan; that he was himself absent from
tho city, and that. SO far as he knew.
neither Mr.. McRea, Mr.. Baer nor Mr.. Fin
ley had been in the city for months past,
and he did not know that they had been
here simultaneously for years. The Penn
sylvania and the Reading Companies had
no interest in the project, had the mat
ter been considered. as neither had any
interests here. he said.
When Mr.. Stevens was asked directly
If to his knowledge any conference had
ever been held here at any time by rep
resentatlves of the railroads entering the
city, he replied that there had not. He
stated. however, that the subject of a
union station had been mentioned several
years ago by one or two gentlemen infor-
mally. but that such q project had not
been considered. The railway president
was on the point OF leaving the city.
and so the interview was terminated.
After Main-Street Site.
1t developed that options have been
secured by certain gentlemen on certain
properties fronting on Main Street and
extending westward from Seventeenth
Street. but that no sale OF the property
had yet been negotiated. 1t is believed.
and partially confirmed. that the action
taken Is in the interest of tho Railroad
Young Mems Christian Association. which
proposes to erect a building in that
vicinity.
The association recently petitioncd the
Council to sell to them at a reasonable
figure, to be agreed upon, the Old N4rket
site, and the matter is pending in the
Market Committee of that body. Per
s''o Ha9 also peeil accordeu the aSSo"
citation OF building over the end Of n
bind alley In that vicinity. There is
little doubt that the association desires
to abandon the proposed site on Franklin
Street and construct their building on a
Main Street frontage, if the property
can be purchased reasonably. Merchants
and business men in that vicinity are
cooperating to secure the location on
Main Street for the association, and
there is excellent prospect that this re-
suit Will finally be attained. 1t was posi-
lively denied. however, that such sale
had been made yet.
