quarter centuries since his death,
London paid belated tribute to the
memory of John Bunyan today, when
the national memorial window in the
north transept of Westminster Abbey
was unveiled with impressive cere-
monies. The memorial to the Gin
spired tinker" was designed by J. N.
Cowper and executed at a cost of So
900, raised by popular subscription.
The window, designed in two sections
illustrates some of the chief scenes
and episodes in Bunyan's immortal
"Pilgrim's Progress" -.. =.

Although SO young men signed pc
titions asking them to joint the Com
mercial club with the understanding
that a gymnasium was to be installed
by that organizat ton, it developed at
the special meeting of the CONNER
cial club last night that the club is
by no means unanimous on the gym
nasium proposition.
Doubt was expressed as to the pos
sibility of maintaining interest in
the gymnasium for any length of
time. without employing an instruc-
tor or providing match contests.
Room May Be Too Small.
The pessimists on the proposition
pointed out that the proposed room
at the rear OF the club room quar-
tiers would not be desirable-that it
that the only equipment possible
would be floor articles; that it would
be impossible to have either rings or
trapeze and that basket ball would
be out of the question.
Dyer Expresses His Views.
Professor w. P. Dyer, while ac-
knowledging the benefits to be de-
rived from gymnasium exercise, was
somewhat of doubling Thomas as to
the success of the proposed plan. He
explained that it has been his expert
ence in other towns that while inter-
est in gym is keen for few weeks,
it soon becomes tiresome, and sug-
gested that if this happened in Be-
midi that the club would find itself
under an additional burden with no
benefit to be derived, once the life of
the gymnasium ebbed.

to operate the old boat until the
new one is ready TO be placed in
commission, but no attempt has been

that II was necessary to drive pill

the absence Of both the president
and vice president, J. N. Edleiser

in a capable and faultless manner
A synopsis Of the business trans,
acted by the board Of governors

matters taken up and disposed Of.
Seven new members were added TO
the enrolment.
John Il. Gratke, vice president
Of the State Development League,
and also holding the same position
in the National Rivers and Harbors
Congress, was present upon invita-.
ton of his old friend, Is. Il. Craw-
shaw. He proved a ready. easy
and most pleasing speaker, aud adj.
vanced a number of valuable sug.
gcstions relative TO the successful
working and perpetuity OF a com
mcrcial club. lie extolled the vir-
tues OF ST. Johns from It's position
on the map, likening il to Manhat-
tan Island, New York city. Mr..
Gratke stated that while It's prog
rcss could be greatly accelerated by
push aud energy back OF il, yet ST.

larger by reason OF It's environment.
lie congratulated the club upon Sc.
curing the services of Mr.. Craw.
shaw, whom he has known for
years, His address was received
with close attention aud pleasure.
As there has been some dissatis-
faction over the assessments Of
property in some instances in ST.
Johns, II was decided by the board
OF governors to invite the county
assessors TO meet with club Wed
nesday evening TO explain about
the appraisement. The invitation
was issued and Assessor Zeigler aud |
Deputy North promptly accepted,
Mr Leigler acted as spokesman,
aud opened his remarks by laugh
lngly stating that since listening To |
Mr.. Gratke's tribute he was CON
vlnced that none OF the property in
ST, Johns was assessed half high |
enough, He admitted that mis-
lakes were frequently made in the
natter OF assessment, but contend
ID the various communities were
argely responsible for them; that in
he case of ST. Johns blue prints
showing the different appraisements
we're LETT at the Commercial club
ooms here two years ago for sever
Il weeks, vet little or no interest
vas manifested in them. He said
was the aim of the assessors Of
Ice TO make all assessments equita-
'le, but this was impossible with
mt the cooperation OF the commu-
titles, He volunteered to send the
ate blue prints to the club aud have
H. North go over them with any ,
ommittee the club might appoint.
lis remarks were listened to with
interest and his fairness in the mat
er fully appreciated,
