PROF. GILLIAN.

Prof Gillian held the rapt atten-
ton of his hearers from the begin
ming to the close of his lecture on
Saturday night. The close came too
soon When the announcement was
made that he had consented to give
an address Sunday morning in the
church hall the audience clapped
their hands vigorously. Without at
tempt to play upon imagination or
feeling. the professor provoked the
audience to hearty laughter frequent
ly and through the whole every one
was held spellbound. He pointed
out very clearly that education con-
sisted of knowing. feeling and will
ing. Either of these three to be
developed at the expense of the
other is not education. In this re-
spect Lincoln was nigh a model of
an educated man. He knew. was
willing and felt. All who met the
professor will be happy to meet him
again. Some of his old pupils chance
to live in this community. some of
whom called at his room to see him
and were greatly disappointed to
| find him out. He left yesterday
morning for Salt Lake, where he re-
sumes his work in the high school
this morning.

X. c. James, a Portland mining
man who has considerable interests
in Nevada, was among arrivals In
East Ely last evening Mr.. James
will be here several days. intending
to go TO the Osceola district before
he leaves.
Il came here from Goldfeld and
Tonopah, he said last night In
both those camps they are making
progress. though Goldfield is much
quieter than in former days. How
ever. they are on a solid basis there
now. The same is true at Tonopah.
The latter camp was reported on the
coast during the winter as in fair
way to close down. There is nothing
in its present or prospective shape to
indicate any such turn. In both To-
nopah and Goldfeld | heard a good
deal of talk about the proposed new
railroad line from the Ely district.

CAPITAL TO HAVE AUDITORIUM.
Almost 100000 Subscribed, and Cor

Almost 100000 was subscribed at a
public meeting at Washington toward
the erection in that city of a great
auditorium building, one of the objects
of which is to accommodate the nu-
merous conventions of a national and
international character which meet
annually in the national capital. Sec
rotary of State Root, Assistant Sec
rotary Bacon and other public men
participated.
Fifty well-known business men have
signed articles of incorporation for
the, proposed building, under the title

Thomas F. Walsh and Levi P. Morton,
each contributing $4,000.
In urging the great necessity for
such an auditorium Secretary Root
declared that it is "undignifed and
most injurious to the city that the
present condition of affairs should
continue" This city, he pointed out
was without an adequate building for
holding important conventions, the in.
augural ball, ETC., and the recent inter.
national tuberculosis congress had to
be housed in an unfinished building.

THE STORY.

TT WAS two full months now since
the stirring message of the prophet
Haggai had aroused, governor and
people to again take up the work OF
rebuilding the temple. Much had
been done in that time, for the people
In the first flush of their enthusiasm
took hold of the task with will. But
the work completed seemed nothing
in comparison to what still remained
to be done, and Encouragement
and doubt began to dampen the ar.
dor of the people. Fewer came to
labor on the task, and those who did
come labored half-heartedIy.
That very day zerubbabel the gov.
ernor had sent out appeal for more
workers and had sought to arouse
those who were at work 10 more en-.
ergetic efforts. But apparently to no
avail.
Zechariah had been among those
who had responded to the first call
Of the governor for workers, and every
day since then he had been at his
self-imposed post of duty, But as
has been said, the work had begun to
lag and the appeal of the governor
that day had met with no response
aad as zechariah wendell his way
home that night his heart was heavy
within him.
Belonging as he did to the tribe
Of Levi, and being the son of devout
parents who had trained him reverent
ly with the thought of his ultimate
place among the priesthood, he had
early wholly given himself to God and
was an eager student of all the Won
derful history of his nation AMI
Gods dealings with them.
He recalled thSx night during MS
walk home how eager and joyful he
had been when the caravan of re
turning jews had set out from Baby
Ion. All through that long journey he

WOULD KEEP SENIOR ouEsAnA
Cuban Minister Popular with the Au.
thorities at Washington.

While there can be no expression on
the part of any official of this govern
ment there is very strong feeling in
all circles in Washington that the re-
ported intention of the new Cuban
government forming to transfer Mr..
GonZalo de Quesada the Cuban min
lister, to France and Spain, and substi-
tute some one else for him, will not be
carried out. 1t is no exaggeration to
say that members of the American
congress, including some of the most
prominent leaders, say that instead of
Mr.. Quesada's usefulness here being
at an end, it is at it's height. He has
been in Washington many years, hav-
ing in the first place been member.
of the famous Cuban junta which did
so much for the independence of Cuba
under the most trying circumstances,
and at a time when the influence of
the Spanish legation here was para
mount in the counsels of the senate.
He has served his country as min
lister from the formation of the first
government of the Republic of Cuba,
and he has done SO with much ac-
ceptability He has been very close
in his relations to President Roosevelt,
and will be in similar position with
reference to the Taft administration,
should he remain.
Senator Aldrich, recently at the
White House offices, meeting Mr.. Que
sada, expressed the hope that he
would not be succeeded by another,
adding: You can get anything for
your government you ask for from
the congress of the United States"

Had No Use for Icehea+

I just learned the other day that
when rather well-known New York
member of the house was elected
some terms ago he shipped his fast
flying iceboat to Washington ahead of
him, says a writer in the Washington
Star. He had been here in the sum-
mer time, he had admired the wide
stretches of the sleepy Potomac, and
he had visions of all sorts of steel
runnered fun here during the sessions
of congress. Needless to say that ice
boat went back north with the mem
Der when congress adjourned There
have been years in Washington when
relocating might have been possible

as Alexandria-but the year the ice
boat came here didn't happen to be

1909, BY The Author, W S Edison

The Prophet Zechariah-He was the
son of Berechiah, and grandson of lido,
and was probably of the tribe of Levi.
He was born in Babylon, and like Haggat
came to Jerusalem with -Zerubbabel. He
seems to nave entered upon his mission
WREN quite young Czech. 2:4). The foun-
dalton of the temple had indeed been laid,
but that was all ezra 5:16). Discouraged
by the opposition and the long delay OF
IA years in the building the Jewish colony
were slow to take up the work again
even when the letter came from Darius
sanctioning the work, and promising his
protection. At such a time no more mt
ting instrument could be found to rouse
the people, whose hearts had grown cold,
than one who united to the authority o.
the prophet the zeal and the traditions or
the sacerdotal family. Accordingly, to
Zeehariah's influence we find the rebuild
ing great measure ascribed ezra 6:lD.
Later traditions assume what is indeed
very probable, that Zechariah took per-
sonally an active part in providing for
the liturgical service of the temple. He
and Haggai are both said to have COM
posed psalms with this view. If the later
Jewish accounts may be trusted, Zech-
ariah, as well as Haggai, was member
of the great synagogue. Zechariah is the
only one Of the prophets who speaks of
Satan.
