STREET CAR MANNERS.
Bishop w. \. QuayIe Discusses Every
Day Religion, in Chicago.

Chicago. July 27.-You can tell
genuine Christian by his street car
manners, Bishop w. A. Quayle told a
large audience yesterday at the Meth
odist camp meeting at Desplaines.
IF you are hanging on strap in
crowded street car" he said, land
the conductor calls out step forward
please and there is no place in front
where you can step forward, the
you act will be a test of your religion.
If you are a woman and man
gives you his seat and you act as if
you thought it was your right and not
his Kindness that gave you the seat,
the way you act will test you more
than answering questions in theology.
1T is not how you treat some big
body, but how you treat a little ur-
chin, dirty and in tears, that tests
your religion.
What you do when you are off
duty-that's what counts. What if
the people who see US at church and
at weddings should see us in the be-
tWeens? What we Christians do Of
times kills faith in the church. Any
body can see rose garden in the
daytime. but we can also smell it in
the dark. What we do whea nobody
sees us ought to be as beautiful as
what we do in the OPEN"

other things. Miss Laura l. Ewing
was elected to the position, at an In
crease of 500 in her salary, making 1t
81, 100 per year.
The position of director of the man
ual training school made vacant by
the resignation of Mcbride was voted
to be not filled, but instead the duties
are to devolve upon the superintendent
and A. NJ. Winters and Miss Belle
Stage. For this added duty the sal
airy of superintendent Whittemore was
raised to $3.50. an increase of $3.50,
while Winters was given an increase OF
$40 a month. Marcia Williams, who has
been teaching in the Lowman Hill
school received the recommendation OF
the committee to fill the vacancy OF
teacher of history in the high school and
was elected unanimously on the sche-
duled salary.
New Washington school.
The matter of plans and specifica-
lions for heating the new Washington
school then came up and plans of the
Mueller Heating company and the
Lewis, Ketchen company were shown
by kansas City representatives.
Mueller wanted to heat it with one
furnace and the Lewis, ketchen COM
pany was going TO use three. The board,
after discussing the matter, decided
upon the easy way and resolved upon
happy medium accepting the Plans of
Lewis, Ketchen with the understand
ing they confer with the architec- of
the building and figure on two fur
naces. The new colOred school is out
of the sewer district and a system of
flushing closets is impossible. Hence
the old dry system has been planned.
Some members say the system is IN
safe, unsanitary, and dangerous, many
school houses having been burned
down by the intense heat required for
incineration. 1t was declared that the
state inspector would have TO be dealt
with if such system is used.
Bids were received from general con-
tractors on the construction OF the big
building but all were too high and the
architect was called upon to figure on
some of the expensive features waioh
could be cut out and specify such to
the bidders to then make new bid.
Some of the features which arr 10 go
are the thing in the class rooms, the
near plate glass windows, perh Lps the
iron lathing and the dry closets.
AS the members were hastily depart
ing with the hope of catching the last
cars the three bids for the razing of
the old Jackson street school house
were read but we're too high by $50 and
the board will push it over themselves
if need be.

STATUE OF LINCOLN.
G. \. X. Proposes to Erect One in
Front of Memorial Hall.

The Kansas department of the q.
a. Il. is planning to erect $4,000
statue of Abraham Lincoln at the
Tenth avenue and jackson street cor
ner in front of the 100000 Memorial
hall for the soldiers and sailors of
the Civil war. Contributions will be
sought only from old soldiers, and as
there, are 40, 900 of them in the state,
the money for the statue can be
raised easily from so cent subscrip-
lions. Each Grand Army post will
have a subscription paper. Where
an old soldier desires to give more
than so cents he will be permitted to
do so, but only that sum will be asked
for. 5 s.ss.
The idea started at Chanute at a
meeting of the local post and was
disseminated over the state where it
the matter Commander Rickel said:
I'VE will not have any trouble in rails
ing $4,000 for such a statue. 1t is
my idea that the subscription should
read: Abraham Lincoln, given to the
state by the Grand Army of Kan
Sas.'
There is not a statue or monument
of any kind in Topeka. Kansas leg
islatures have always squarely op-
posed appropriations for such pur-
pose, yet nothing is so impressive or
better calculated to honor heroes or
inspire patriotism than statues erect
ed in a state or national capital.
Statues and monuments are the
pride and glory of all the large cities
of the world, yet Kansas has never
paid the slightest attention to such
things. Monuments are an express
sion of national pride, while statues
are local tribute to the illustriouS

TRAILED BY HIS BLOOD.
When Seen He. Attempted to jump
Through Plate Glass Door.

Mercantile company's large three
story building of this city was broken
into and robbed by one of the en-
ployes, Charley Patton, a colored man,
who drives the furniture wagon. Patton
knew where the money was kept and
broke in, securing about $21 in cash.
He was detected while in the store,
and attempted to escape through the
plate glass door, cutting large gashes
in his hands and body. Seeing he
could not escape this way, he ran to
the rear of the store and upstairs,
escaping through a side window and
across the roof of the next building.
He was traced by the blood on the
furniture and on the window through
which he escaped, and was arrested
later while at the chautauqua grounds.
He afterward confessed.

REYES QUITS HIS JOB.
The President of Colombia Resigns
His Office by Cable.

Chicago, July GA special cable
from Hamburg to the Tribune says:
President Rafael Reyes of Colom-
bla cabled to Bogota today, resign
ing the presidency of that republic.
General Reyes, discussing the
Colombia situation, said the assem-
OF the new congress, which assem-
bled July 20. clearly is opposed to
ratification of the Tripartite treaty
between Colombia. the United States
and Panama. Therefore, he said, it
would be useless for him to retain Of
flee when the country did not share
his views. He believed Acting Presi-
dent Holguin, who held the same
opinions as himself. soon would be
compelled to retire for similar rea-
sons, he said.
Gen. Reyes added that he re-
garded COlombia's recalcitrancy in
refusing to recognize the independ
ence of Panama as foolish. as it prob
ably will result in the loss of the
compensation which the United
new republic should pay. He had
done all he could for his country, he
said. There had been attempts to
assassinate him. His health now is
broken down, and as his fellow
countrymen had shown they no
longer are willing to support him, he
had determined to retire, although his
term still had four years to run.
His laconic message to the presi-
dent of the Colombian senate said:
81 irrevoeably resign all future
claims to the presidency"
Gen Reyes will remain in Europe
indefinitely He will send a mani
festo to the Colombian people in
few dayS.
