Plans for the proposed home Of the new
ly organized Ingram Memorial Congrega-
tional Church to be built at 10th street
and Massachusetts, avenue northeast are
completed by Architect J. H. Warner.
AS contemplated, the new edifice will be
the most modern and best equipped in
stitutional church in the District. includ-
ing in it's equipment complete gymna-
SUM, swimming pool, bowling alleys,
shower baths, libraries and kitchen. In
architecture it will be a distinct addition
to the handsome houses of worship scat
tered throughout the city.
The building will be three stories high.
In it's general design it will take the form
of Greek cross, this being formed by the
four pediments intersecting with a cir
cular dome, which surmounts the entire
structu-a. The entire first story, up to
the line of the sills of the second story
Windows, is to be built of white Wawarset
limestone. The two upper stories are TO
be built of Wawarset limestone brick. All
the trimmings of the pediments, including
the entabatures, columns and the front
entrance steps. are to be of the same Wa
warset limestone.
The dome, which is circular in form, is
to be built Of reinforced concrete faced
on the exterior with white cement. The
entire roof is to be covered with dark red
Spanish terra-cotta tiles.

Religion and Insanity.
From the Buffalo Commercial.


We have friends who assume to be
afraid of religion-actually do not dare or
care TO go to church. because religion has
made so many people crazy Another
deusion gone! DR.. Richardson, who has
had many years experience in charge Of
institutions for the insane. the last being
the United States Hospital at Washing
ton, in answer to the question as to the
proportion OF the insanity In his hospital
in any way attributable to religion, says:
You have asked me very easy cues
ton. l have tested the matter thorough
ly. There are only two patients in this
hospital whose insanity has any relation
to religion. and 1 think. from their pre-
disposition to insanity, that they would
probably have become insane on some
other subject, IL they had not on reli-
gion. On the other hand, this eminent
alienist believes that the comfort and
consultations of religion have prevented
many men and women from going mad. Z"

URGE CHANGES OF GENERAL
ASSEMBLY BUSINESS METHODS

tiers which have been only imperfectly ex-
planned to them.
The remedy suggested. and it is one
which is being considered also by other
large denominational gatherings, Is to
have at least tentative drafts of commit
tee reports prepared some time In advance
of the meeting of the assembly. so that
they may be published in the denomina-
spring meetings Of presbyteries. These
local bodies would thus have opportunity
of knowing what important matters were
to be presented to the general assembly
and to elect their commissioners accord
ingly
1t is also suggested that a blue book. :"
containing the reports of committees on
which action is to be taken. should be put
in the hands of all commissioners to the
general assembly at least ten days before
the meeting of that body. 1t is said that
the assembly of 1900 will be asked to en-.
act some such rules.

LONDON. August 1.-The Americans
who came to England for the Pan-Ameri-

No one man, however. has created
half the sensation here that Rev. DR..
Samuel McComb. genial man from Bos-
ton, has succeeded in stirring up in dis
cussion. not only in the church. but in
medical fields as we'll. His medico-reli-
gious movement came as something most
extraordinary. While it is understood
here that the work is well known in the
United States and favorably received, it
has been the source of almost endless
talk among clergymen since DR.. Nc
Comb explained what he has been doing.
He was the guest Sunday of the vicar
of st. Mary Abbotts at Kensington. and

away fascinated with the new idea. DIR.
McComb talked to them just as he works
with all those who come to him for help.
He chose simple words to describe a big
subject.
He advocated an alliance between medi-
tianity on behalf of vast number of
persons who suffer from semi-moral and
semi-nervous disorders. such as neuras-
thenia, hysteria, insomnia, alcoholism
and SO forth. He attributed the healing

hension and a little purely mali
cious talk relative to the PROPOSE
ton of voting the bonds.
There are a few of the residents
of the district who are asserting
that the whole $4,000 will be
used to purchase the proposed site.
This if far from true. The school
board has made careful investiga
ton, and member of that body
states that the approximate cost
of the site will be $4,000, and that
the remaining $4,000 will be
used in putting up a substantial
building. 49,. s.. 49,. <. .-...
Some of the residents in the north.
western part Of the city are entering
a protest against the, proposed new
site and declare they are in favor of
the site proposed last year, and they
want the school house built there.
There is now a two-room building
in the northwestern part of the city,
where seventy-fve pupils are in at
tendance. -..
An absurd claim has been made
by some interested parties who are
opposed to the proposition, that if
the bonds are voted for the new
school house and the school house
erected that the school board will
have the building on Fourteenth
street closed. This statement is
utterly without foundation as the
board has no intentions of closing
the building on Fourteenth street.
Relative to building schoolhouse
in Mill Park it would cost us $50
a month to bring the children over
here, and it would cost us $50
month for a teacher over there.
There are about thirty scholars,
and these thirty scholars are scat
tered through six grades. If these
are spread out through the six
grades in the Central building we
would not have to employ any other
teacher. If we put a schoolhouse
in Mill Park we would only be giving
the children little country school.

new TELEPHONE COMPANY
ORGANIZED YESTERDAY
Line Will Be Built from Bemidjl to
Lake PIantagnet.- Work Com.
mence Immediately.

A new telephone company was
organized in this city yesterday,
to be known as the Plantagnet
Telephone company in which A.
H. Jester, owner of the Jester Farm
on Lake Plantagnet, and several
local and St. Paul capitalists are
interested.
The object of the new company
is to construct and operate a tele-
phone line from this city to Lake
Plantagnet, the line to connect in
Bemidji with the Northwestern
Telephone Company's local ex-
change, with local and long-distance
connections, if desired.
Contracts were. let today for the
necessary poles to construct the
line, and the balance of the para
phernalia will be ordered to be on
the ground Immediately.
It is the intention of the pro-
moters of the new line to rush the
work of constructing the line and
it is believed that the entire system
can be completed and be put into
operation by May 18th.
The farmers along the line of the
proposed system are greatly pleased
over the proposition, and are plan
ming on putting phones as soon
as connections can be made.
That the telephone system to
the lake will prove a great benefit
to the farmers about the lake, and
more especially to Mr.. Jester is gen
orally recognized. There is an ex-
cellent summer resort on Lake
Plantagnet, and the only drawback
to perfect enjoyment out there has
been the lack of means of commune
cation with the city. The new
telephone system will remedy this
defect, and Farmer" testers cup
of happiness is full to OVERLOOKING.

Urich Fights a Draw.

Thief River Falls, March H.
Curley Ulrich and Fred Ryan of
Chicago, last night fought ten rounds
of as clean boxing as was ever wit
messed in this city. The match was
pulled off under the auspices of the
order of Eagles and was witnessed
by large audience. No rough
tactics we're permitted by the referee,
and the contestants presented a fast
exhibition of the game without any
of the brutal features that usually
characterize boxing contest. Ten
rounds were agreed to as the limit
of the match, and the result was de-
clared a draw. The crowd con-
sidered that Ulrich had shade the
better of the argument.
