When the order came from Wash Incton requiring an flags under American cousulates Co be hung at halr mast during the funeral Of Vice President sherman, there was one consul who did not comply with the official mandate, and that one was stroller White. or Whitehorse, Y. IT, White didn't have a flag staff and as the market price for peeled cJms iu Wbjtehorse Is about two dollars per running foot he wired Washington that his income from Che great American republic would not permit his investing more than two dollars In a staff, or a bloody ggEe" as he now calls it ard that lIrg at half mast on a stafI tugI,r inches long would not oNrress IS much sorrow as he tnouerr tue occasion demanded.
 The consular service took the matter Nh M... tue N"N NNfA' N'''>''' and they passed it along to the D. A R. and various patriotic bodies og the nation. and at last an an- sver came back that the American consul aj Whiteborse would have to remain poIe.ess until an appropria- ton could re passed by congress for the reues og rac grief stricken pc url0Uer
 Thus another deserving patriot has been rumutared by official neg- lee, and rcd tape. White has voted the democratic ticket for quarter century OF more and surely he should be entitled to yhc thrill of raising uag at half mast when a republican passes on.

After viewing the different lines or railroad and tbo various passes opening to the iuJuerior which might afford gateways for the building of railroads from udcwater, the Alas ka Railroad commission has return ed Go Washington to tabulate their data and make @ report to the president
 Each Of the cities visited furnish cd the commission with iuforma- rton showing the advantages Of their respective lines. and out Of that mass oE information some selection win be made and recommended as the most suitable for a government road.
 There are two passes which have about equal advantages, the White Pass at SkaEway and the government road leading in from Hames. either oG these have ad- vantaces over an the others, for with a trunk line built from either of these points it could be made to parallel the mountain range, going westward to the White river and thus down the Yukon to Fairbanks.
 The only thing that would hinder thc construction Of such a road by the government is that a part Of the route would necessarily pass through British territory. The sen- sibIe thing for the government to do would be to arrange for a neutral right of way between the countries which would be advantageous to both. By SO doing a larger amount Of rich country could be opened than by any other means, and the cost Of constructing a road parallel with mountain ranges is comPara- lively small. Feeders could be con- structed into the various districts along such a route which would gather in an immense business from the start

WHERE SEDAN CHAIR IS USED
on May Day in knutsford, England.

The news that there is woman still living who rode in Q Sedan chair is a reminder of the fact that there is one town in England where a Sedan chair Is still used. It Is at Knutsford, in Cheshire-the "Cranford" of Mrs. Gaskell. Every May day Knutsford arrays itself in gala attire. Sports are held on the village green, the May queen is elected and crowned, and in order that no aspect of antiquity should be missing-thc Sedan chair is produced.
 Whatever may have been absolutely the latest date at which d Sedan chair was used, the chair at any rate, had
 longer life than most forms of public conveyance. For it appeared in Eng land as early as 1881, and in London fifty years later, when Sir Francis Dun- comb obtained the sole privilege of letting and hiring them Thus the Sedan chair was in use for roughly three centuries, and how many hand sons are likely to be carrying passen- gers In 2l33, which will be the tercen- tenary of their Introduction ?--L London Chronicle.

Whosoever in the name of the church, as a member of it, does actions con- trary to it's wliole spirit is the great est enemy of the kingdom of God.
 Nehemiah oyercame these enemies. He changed them from enemies to friends. He rebuked them with burn ing indignation. He told them to their face the wrong they were doing. He persuaded them to repent and undo the wrongs they had done: q pray you, let us leave off this usury. Re store, l pray you, to them, even this day, their lands, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundredth part of the money, and of the corn, the wine, and the oil, that ye exact of tbem." Then said they, We will restore them, and will re. auire nothing of them; So will We do as thou sayest." He set them a good example. He refused to take the usual salary of the governor. He bore all the expenses of his retinue. His noble conduct made the names of these op- pressors show black as the smoke of the pit
 One of the greatest powers for re- forming abuses is publicity. Let every mans name be on his deed, on the work he does, on everything he says, on all that he owns
 There is continual temptation to- day for Christian workers to give up their time and strength to discussing the many theories and unsettled ques- tions which are continually confront ing them. All sorts of men say all sorts of things till 1t seems as if these clouds were obscurlng the whole con- t1nent Of Truth. This is true of many other things besides religion. Now the way to escape from these Ynaves IS to attend to our duties, to go to work for the Cause of Christ with all our hearts, to give ourselves to help ing save our fellow men, both body and soul. For then we will use the essential things by which our work is accomplished. We thus test the work ing theories by using them. Those principles that bring results are the ones We want. We find out what they are worth through testing them by what they will do. Working for Christ and for his children is our safeguard. Nehemiah was asked to leave his work Tor personal safety. This was too base ali appeal. Nehemiah indig- nantiy exclaimed, Should such man as I flee?"
 The very baseness of the appeal opened Nehemiah's eyes to the fact that Shemaiah was not prophet but a mere tool of Sanballat bribed to en- snare him. That any one could i'm agine that he could be influenced by Tear, touched Nehemiahs heart to Inc quick It was an insult that the gov ernor could only put into tho han,is of dod to wipe out.

 The ladies of the Missionary Society are observing the week of prayer this week. This is well, for without prayer we can do nothing.

 There were enemies within the Jew ish church Some of the nobles and richer men had been expressing their poorer brethren who were working at great sacrifice in rebuilding the walls. No wages were paid for this work, so that many were thus reduced to the direst straits to support themselves and their families, and pay the taxes exacted by the Persian government Their misfortunes were brought to 8 climax by the condition of hostilities. which put an end to trade, and threat ened town and country with ruin. It was impossible to obtain regular em- ployment, and prices had gone up. Those who had little property mort gagged their homes; and In this way a considerable portion of the property of the poorer classes, their grain fields vineyards, and dwellings, passed into the hands of wealthy money lenders, who demanded high usury. Some, having no means to pay their creditors, sold their children as slaves. The hungry ones were threatening, if the grain was not given to keep them fro mstarvation, they would take 1t by violence, or surrender the city to It's enemies. The taxes for the Persia. government were very heavy and ex-- acting The chief officers farmed out the collection of the taxes, both in money and in the fruits of the land, These under officers were the same as those called publicans in the New Testament. They were required to pay over to their superiors the exorbi- tant sum fixed by law, and depended Tor their profit on what they could make by fraud and extortion. They overcharged, brought false charges of smuggling to extort hush-money, seized upon property in case of dis pute and held 1t until their levy was paid, forbade the farmer to reap his standing crops until they had wruns from him all that his penury could produce. They were universally fear ed, hated, and despised No money known to have come from them was received for religious uses.
 Now these, who professed religion and lived heathenism. were the great est injury to the Cause for which Nehemiah had come. It was against such as these that Jesus launched the sharpcst lightning of his "Woeunto you, hypocritcs." They are traitors to their country, their church and their God. The church stands for the high est expression of mans life. A church represents the permanent spiritual Ideals It embodies the loftiest human aspirations; q nations best expres- sion of its religious sentiment repre- sents that nation at its best. Now

FIRST PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

Our Sunday services were ex- ceptionally delightful and profit able. The Sunday school attend ance was excellent and the in terest good. We rejoice to mo- tice the awakening interest and the increasing cooperation of others to make the churches of BrinkIey centers of power, strength and spirituality. The hearts of the pastors rejoice when they see their people moved and quicken to do greater things for the uDbuilding of themselves and others. May the peace of Christ rule our hearts. and Ills love fill our lives.
 The nightly week services have been well attended and are helpful. instructive and free from any methods that would be offensive to the saint or sinner. If you love the Lord or desire to know Him you will certainly be blessed in meeting with others who have the same desire and longing. The services begin promptly at 7:30 and are over by 8::30
 Sunday morning the subject will be Washing the Disciples Feet. Evening subject, David and Goliath 1" Come. and hear the story of Christ's love as re- vealed in this incident. Special music at the evening service.

Perhaps the biggest and best dog
show ever seen in Kentucky, will be
witnessed at the Kentucky State Fair
the week of September 9-14. Hereto
lore the dog show feature of the State
Fair has been confined exclusively 90
collies. but this year the management
has decided to have a bench show for
all breeds of dogs, and to that end dog
dog fanciers throughout the state have
been invited to participate in the show.
Since the invitations were first issued
by the management through the press
several weeks ago many OF the fan
.iers in every section of the state
rave Joined the movement TO make
his feature of the fair success. II
IS doubtful if there is a bred of dog
known to this section of the county
that is not bred and raised in Ken
lucky. and it is the purpose of the Of
fcials of the fair to have every breed
represented. For several years the
breeders of dogs, other than collies.
aave endeavored TO interest the man.
2gement of the State Fair in a bench
show that would include all breeds.
The bench show will be under the per-
soma! supervision of a man who is well
gersed in the breeding CT dogs, and
valuable prizes viii shortly be named.
20 be distributed to the winners in the
various classes.
The show viii be held under the
rules of the American Kennel Club. a
bench show with the approval OF the
American Kennel Club will more than
likely attract high-class dogs from
New York, Chicago and all parts OF
the country.
