.LEWES FOLKS TO
BUILD new CHURCH
Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL
LEwES. Del, Aug. 2S5.-The congrcga-
tion OF the NJ. L. Church has decided
to build a new church on the site where
the parsonage is'now located. on the cor
ncr OF Fourth and Market streets. The
idea As TO move tho parsonage. Tho
location selected Is one Of tho best in
town and one that meets with the ap-
proval OF those in attendance at the
meeting.
The pastor. the Rev. William r. Now
bray, will secure plans for this new edi-
flee and as soon as the trustees and the
congregation agree upon them the build
ing will be started.
Il IS thought the new church viii cost
not more than $1,000. 1t has not been
decided yet whether It will be stons
or a brick one, bur It viii be FIRE proof
and will have all the latest improvements
for a building Of this kind
To repair the present church would
cost from 5000 to 1900 and It was deem
cd advisable TO build new one that
would be CT edit to the town and that
would stand for ages to come
One very important change is to have
the main audience room on the ground
floor and IN case OF a conhagaration the
people can get out with very little
trouble and not run the risk OF being
trampled 10 death coming down stairs %

ter both In number and size than here
tofore. Prices still rule very low. but
we consider the prospects for regular
business at reasonable profits better
than for many months past"
There has been such a decided In
crease in both freight and passenger
traffic on the Wilson Line Of steam
boats. which at present has two
steamers plying between this city and
Philadelphia. that two additional
steamers have ben constructed for and
viii be placed IN operation next year.
one of the best indications OF a de-
preston or revival of business is the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company. and
attesting TO the present revival is the
fact that the local repair shops which
are devoted to the repair of cars and
locomotives report an increase OF %
per cent. I'm their working force since
one year ago. the outlook being for a
still greater increase this fall.
The same Is true OF the freight de-
partment OF the company, the increase

CONDEMNS CHURCH MUSIC

SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. es-That the
giant redwoods Of Caiifornia's forest
can inspire music more worth than IS
created nowadays by the influence OF
religion, was asserted by Arthur Far
well, president OF the American Music
Society
The Rev. David Evans, rector OF
Grace Episcopal Church, the most fash
ionable congregation OF that denomina-
ton I'm San Francisco, has written a
strong letter to Farwell. Bach, Han
del, Elgar and a host OF other immortais
have drawn mighty inspiration from the
atmosphere OF the Christian religion %
said the clergyman.
The vigorous retort Of the musician
was: "At present the churches are adj
dicted to stun, mainly Much OF the
music is nearly blasphemous. The rit-
ualistic music OF the Episcopal Church
IS frequently dry, prim and uninterest-
ingly correct"
Farwelrs original statement was made
after he had attended the midsummer
forest play OF the Bohemian Club. for
which Wallace A. Sobln OF San Fran
cisco composed the music.

PENNSY TO SPEND
MORE MILLIONS

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 22-Im-
provements TO cost Approximately
81 100000 are to be made by the Penn
sylvania Railroad at Greensburg,
Ponna., and bids on the work will be
asked tomorrow. Two additional
tracks viii be built through Green's
burg. a new station will be construct
cd, tunnel viii be removed. and the
grade Of one per cent. win be cut down
one-half.
The Pennsylvania Railroad has prac-
tiaclly completed its four-tracS line
from Pittsburg to New York, but at
several places there are short stretches
OF two and three-track road. lt is
these gaps which are being rapidly re-
moved by the construction Of addi-
tional tracks. The Pittsburg Division
the line between Pittsburg and Al
toona-now has a one-mile stretch OF
two track line through Greensburg, a
half mile through Radebaugh. where
there is a tunnel, and two miles Of
three-track line through Sang Hollow.
With the completion Of the Green's
burg improvements, two and one-half
miles OF the two and three-track road
will remain on the Pittsburg Division
Of the Main Line.
Heavy westbound passenger trains
have for years experienced difficulty in
starting from Greensburg station, ow-
ing to the steep grade at that point.
K It was for this reason, as well as to
facilitate the movement OF freight
trains, that II was determined to cut
down the grade at the same time the
other improvements are made.
The contract for the Greensburg
work will be the third important one
let this year for new work by the
Pennsylvania Railroad. In addition
to these, the Pennsylvania lines are
planning to spend s7,000,000 in remov-
ing the grades and addition TO the
double track roads west Of Pittsburg

OAK LEAVES KILL
CATTLE In THE WEST

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Aug. 23.-The
stockmen grazing their cattle on the
National Forests in the Southwest, es-
pecially I'm Colorado and New Mexico,
have suffered serious losses during the
present summer through the cattle
eating oak leavea
In that section OF the country the
season has been unusually dry and
grass extremely scarce. To eke out
the scanty forage supply, the cattle
browsed heavily on the scrub oak
which covers large portions OF the
range. Ordinarily the stock does not
browse much on the oak and the little
they do get. taken with the other food.
is not injurious, but when. as IN the
present season, the oak browse fur
nishes a large proportion OF the daily
food OF the cattle the results are SER
ious.
The oak leaves and sprouts contain
a large percentage OF tannic acid. The
action of this acid on the stomach is
extremely injurious and the losses have
been unusually severe. The symptoms
of the disease are staring eyes. fever
ish and blistered lips and nose the
animal ceases TO Craze or seek for
food. standing in one place for hours
at a time. The coat becomes rough
and the hair is all turned the wrong
way, as in cases OF loco poisoning. The
animal does not chew its cud and IN
a comparatively short time It become
too weak to remain on its feet ant
death rapidly follows.
So far as Is known the only avail
liable remedy for this trouble Is linsee
loil given as a drench I'm amounts fror
one to two quarts. The oil appears {
overcome the injurious effects Of tn
tannlc acid and If the disease Is no
advanced too far and the animal ca
be furnished sufficient food so II vii
not be forced to eat the oak. it vii
generally recover. The best method, O
course I'm handling the trouble. Is,
possible, TO get the cattle away iron
the range where the oak is found AM
furnish them with plenty Of fresh greel
feed to build up again.

BANKS OPPOSE
SMALLER BILLS
Secretary MaCVeaeh'S Idea
Doesn't Meet With ApprO-
val Anywhere

Secretary OF the Treasury MacVeagh
has not struck a chord which Is en-
tircly popular with the bankers OF
the country In his suggestion that the
size of the currency be reduced.
In fact, II appears likely that Mr.
MacVeagh win stir up something OF
hornets nest II he goes about the busi-
ness of putting into effect his idea that
the size of the bills should be smaller
National bankers In many cases arc
not taken with the plan Of making tho
reductions In the size of notes proposed
by Mr.. MaoVeagh. IL goes without
saying that II the Government reduces
the size of the bills over which It has
jurisdiction. the size Of bank notes
will have to be made 10 correspond
This would involve the national banks
IN a lot Of trouble and expense.
Most national banks have plates for
three or four different notes. some
have plates for the ones. Practically
all have plates for the flves, the tens
and the twenties To get new pietes
would entail a good deal OF expense
Still another reason given by some
OF the bankers why the size of the
paper currency should not be changed

country is rapidly approaching the 1000

go to more or less expense 10y th'
shift I'm the dimensions OF currencs

All this says nothing about the pol
