TESTIMONIAL TO PASTOR.
Congregation Presents Cane to the
Rev. Mr.. Outwater.

There was an unusually large attend
ance last evening at the regular prayer
meeting at the Kendall Baptist Church.
SO many Of the members of the congre-
cation were present that it became neces-
sary to adjourn the meeting from the lee
ture room to the main church auditorium.
The pastor, Rev. Theron Outwater was
surprised at the great outpouring of the
penitent, for never before had there been
such large attendance at prayer meet
ing. He was further surprised when, as
he started to begin the devotional eXer-
cises. he was requested TO vacate the pull
pit. and, on motion of the clerk of the
church. the meeting was converted into
a social session.
Surprises then came thick and fast.
Speeches were made describing the faith
full service of the Rev. Mr. Outwater for
twenty-one years. beginning April l. 1SSS,
as assistant pastor of Calvary Baptist
Church. Speakers also related how he
had finally from the branch organized an
independent congregation - the Kendall
Baptist Church.
The next surprise came when the con-
gregation presented the minister with a
handsome cane. suitably inscribed, styling
it 1.-The big stick of the Kendall Church.
Again there was a surprise Wlen Mrs.
Outwater was presented with a gold
brooch Members told how she had es-
tablished the first home department I'm the
District and of her faithful work for the
church.

HOUSE CLOCK TURNED BACK
NIGHT SESSION DEVOTED TO
THE TARIFF DEBATE.
Large Crowd in Galleries Entertain
ed With Humorous Address by
Mr.. Burnett of Alabama.

The tariff debate in the House ran until
IL o'clock last night. After The Stars
report yesterday closed, a lengthy discus
sion of the steel business. especially as it
would be affected by the free admission of
iron ore, was presented by Mr.. Young
(MichD, who urged that duty should
be placed the ore. He also opposed
placing hides and coal on the free list
and contended that the countervailing
duty on coffee and the duty on tea should
be stricken from that measure.
,, Mr.. Finley (S. c. expressed him
self in favor of an income tax. He
said that an Inheritance tax belongs more
properly to a state than to the national
government. He opposed the countervail-
ing duty on coffee and favored a reduc-
ton in the sugar schedule. He desired to
know why cotton bagging and cotton ties
were not placed on the free list, claiming
that the placing of a duty on these arti-
cles was a discrimination against the cot
ton farmer.
The free list OF the Payne bill was again
ridiculed by Mr.. Floyd tArk.), who
said that 1t allowed free tapioca for pud-
ding. turtles for soap and bologna for
meat He discussed hides and leather
and many other articles on which the
duties have been changed. AT O'Clock
the House took a recess until o'clock.
That the coal schedule of the Payne
bill is based upon misinfoTm alton was
claimed by MIR. Hughes. who gave many
figures regarding the cost of producing
coal in the United States and Canada.
When the House met again at O'Clock
there was quite a large crowd in the
galleries. The feature of the night ses-
sion proved to be the humorous address
of Mr.. Burnett tAla.), who kept the mem
bers on beth sides, of the House in con-
tinuous laughter Interesting informa-
ton regarding the coal trade was given
by Mr.. Hughes (W.Na.). while Mr.. Rey-
nolds (Pa) urged protection for the in
dependent blast furnaces of New York,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
The first speech at the night session
was the maiden effort by Mr.. Thomas

of taxicabs in this and other cities, both

missioner West has received large num-
Der of letters bearing on the question. One
of the letters which reached his desk this

charged in London.
Rates in London.
The writer states that in London a
splendid motor cab service is maintained
at pence u6 cents) for the first mile or
fraction thereof and > pence a cents for
each additional quarter of mile. This
makes the fare IL cents mile for any
distance of mile or more. For three

the Union station to the apartment house
where the writer resides. the fare in Lon
don is - cents for one or two persons.
The fare for the same distance charged
by the Washington taxicab service is
81 III and the service is said TO be no bet
ter than that of London.
The London motor taxicabs." the
writer adds ARE so successful at these
rates that they are driving the horse cabs
out OF business. although the rates for
the latter are even more reasonable than
for the motor cabs
Ii is stated that more than 1000 motor
cabs are operating prottably on the
streets of London. The rate i'm Washing

Commissioner West has secured the
rates charged in New York. and when
all the data has been obtained the pro-
posed taxicab rates will be submitted to
the Commissioners for their considera-

Commissioner West says he found the
information about the low London rates
TO be interesting in view of the demands
of the local taxicab companies for rates
higher than charged at present.

Death claimed gentle and kindly

an unlooked-for moment. He had been

am feeling all right" was his re-
spouse to all solicitous inquiries OF
sincere friends and loving relatives,
though as he spoke the end was draw
ing near. 1t was characteristic of him
that he could suffer himself, but he
could not bear to give others pain.
Edward O'Neill was born in Ottum-
wa April IL, 1864. His parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Frank O'Neill, were pioneers
of Ottumwa and prominent among the
hardy souls who settled here when OF
tumwa was struggling village. The
elder O'Neill was railroad man, be-
ing conductor on construction trains
when the Burlington was extending it's
lines west through Iowa and Nebras-
ka. Like his father, Edward O'Neill
also engaged in railroad work. He was
| for years a fireman and engineer on
| the Burlington, but in late years had
been engaged in construction work on
the Burlington. 1t was while in this
work four years ago that he sustain
ed injuries from which he never re-
covered. and which contributed to has
tening his death.
| His fellow employees often remarked
that they had never heard him speak
a word Of blame against another. They
marvelled because they never heard
an oath pass his lips. These two vir
