From the Baltimore Sun.
 The vestry of old St. Peters Protestant Episcopal church at Poolesville, Mont county, My, will make another ef- fort to recover damages from the govern ment for the destruction of it's church by the Federal soldiers during the civil war. The first step was taken when congress man Lewis of Maryland introduced bill for the relief of the parish. One thou sand dollars is the amount named.

Saturn's Rings and Ours

From the Christian Herald.
 What is known as the Nebular Fly pothesis assumes that in the process of world making a ring of nebulous matter was formed around the earth, much like the rings around the planet Saturn, and that in the process of condensation the ring was broken and the fragments com ing together made our moon. The process of world making has been substantially the same. at least through the solar sys- tenn. Some observers have detected a seeming oscillation in one of Saturn s rings The period of astronimical ob- servation. however, has been so brief that any considerable variation in the rings could not be expected.

Accordingly, while the Bulgarians and Servians were generally employed in the munition trains, the Greeks were put at the front. gen. orally in charge of the artillery. When the clash came the Christ tians promptly deserted the enemy, leaving the guns unserved and disorganizing the troop units. At the same time the Bulsarlans in charge of the military supplies showed no desire to bring up munitions for use against their blood brothers, and when munitions were at hand It was found that thousands of the car tridges were blank and soap instead of shells filled with caissons.

The Emperor has just opened the most important dam in Germany at Mauer, near Hirschberg, in Silesia. It is on the Bober river which flows from the Giant mountains into the oder, 1t will have a capacity of above 175,000,00 cubic feet and the lake formed above
 it will cover about 6000 acres. The dam is over 900 feet long. 1s7 feet high and about 24 feet broad at the top. While it was built primarily for check ing floods, which have proved very dis astrous in that part of Germany, the dam will serve an electric generating plant. where about 1000 horsepower will be produced when conditions are most favorable. The power win be distributed to many thriving manufac- turing villages over a wide stretch of country. Four years have been occu- pied in constructing the dam, and its cost, including land purchased for the lake. will be about $2,000,000 It was built at the suggestion of the Elm peror.

KERR |. IN At. Err
SOM LEASE
Of LIFE !.

The city won in its first round Of the
court battle for municipal light plant
yesterday, the injunction proceedings
instituted by A. B. Kerlin being dis
solved by Judge Winchester, who con-.
pleted his work here today and return
ed to his home at Bismarck. Two or
three cases brought before Judge Win
chester were tried at the request of
Judge Cowan, while the third was tried
by the visiting judge at the request Of
attorneys.
After several continuances to cause
delay. and give the corporation longer
lease on life the injunction proceedings
of the Kerlin trust against the City Of
Devils Lake reached trial yesterday
afternoon. Little developed from the
proceedings other than that the light
manipulators Of the city were playing
for time. and will probably appeal the
case in order to delay if possible the
progress Of the municipal plant and
make the people dance to the expen.
sive music that is being played by the
corporation.
Every contention made by the Kerlin
faction against the city was without
foundation and the objections on tie
part of the city were sustained in
every instance. The illegal voting that
was charged was not corroborated ty
evidence. The trial brought out the
fact that everyone who wanted to had
voted, the polling place had been ac.
cording to law and the time Of the elec-
tion was right.
After hearing both sides of the ques:
tion Judge Winchester informed the
plaintiffs in the action that the tenn
porary injunction issued by Judge Cow.

grounds that none of the charges were

a result of the ball and from the start
of the grand promenade until the
