Using King as an Advertisement.
When P. T. Barnum invited the king
Of the Sandwich Islands to show in
the city of New York he was not sat
isfed with that. which was itself an
advertising card. but he managed by
advising the king to step with him in
one Of the chariots-sO as to see better
a certain part of the performance-to
hurry it up in a moment Of confusion
and sweep the king around the entire
circuit of the track. The papers the
next day had a notice of the king Of
showmen and the king of the Sand
witch Islands in a chariot race. He
could not have written as good an adj
vertisement as the racy news item
made It was neat exploit. for.
small as the kings kingdom was, his
sense of his dignity as a monarch was
not small. and only by indirection and
on behalf of supposed different mo-
tive could he have been induced to be-
come part of such a spectacle.

At the Baptist Church

The service at the Baptist church last
Sunday, conducted by Evangelist . Dim
mick Taylor, was success in every way
and encouraging both to the evangelist
and members of the church. The con-
gregation Sunday night was very good,
and they seemed to enjoy what the
speaker said. The interest up to date
is marked and much good will come
from these meetings if all will take hold
and do their part. A cordial invitation
is extended to all to attend these meet
ings, which will continue every night
except Saturday night at 7:45. and a
prayer meeting at 7:3O in the parsonage
next door to the church.
The subjects for Sunday next will be
as follows: II a. M, 'FWhat the Spirit
Says to the Churches" p. M, ''The
DEVILS Boomerang" p. M, "An I'm
compromised Gospel" In this the
evangelist will expose the false teach
ings of the day, such as Spiritualism,
Christian Science, so-called, Mormonism,
Dowieism and all other devilisms. Come
early if you want seat.
The Oakesdale Tribune has the fol-
lowing to say about Evangelist Taylor
and his work in that town: ''The re-
vival meeting, which has been conducted
by Evangelist J. Dimmick Taylor at the
Baptist church in this city for the past
five weeks, closed Sunday night. On
Monday night eleven candidates were
baptised by Rev. Baker, of Ritzville,
and several more stand approved for
baptism. The meeting was considered
one of the most successful held in
Oakesdale for number of years. Thirty
persons professed conversion, some of
whom united with other churches. At
the close of the baptism service Monday
night the ladies of the church served
refreshments, consisting of coffee,
cake and ice cream. Evangelist Taylor
left Tuesday for Spokane for few days,
rest, and will begin meeting in New
port June 2-Contributed.

CARPETS FOR ROADS.
An "Eiastic Skin" Recommended by
English Expert.

An ELASTIC Skin" Recommended by
English Expert.
A lecture was recently delivered by
member Of the road board before the
Royal institution of London on THE
Road-I'ust. Present and Future. The
lecturer said the problem was to find
the best mode By which road should
be constructed so that it's surface would
not be broken by traffic, SO that the
transit might be easier for both pas
sengeis and goods. a road which would
form neither puddle holes nor exude
mud from vehicles and create no dust
when the weather was dry,
One thing was universally recogniz-
ed-that the road of the future should
be Il truly bound road in which. what
ever kind of stone was used. the stone
should be held together SO that it
would form crust The lecturer sug-
gested that what he called carpet or
an elastic skin should be adopted as
the covering
The carpet, he thought, should be
made of bituminous material mixed
with sand and placed on the roads in
various thicknesses according to the
nature Of the traffic 1t should go on
IN liquid form. solidifying quickly. but
always remaining resilient and COM
pressible and SO integrating with the
crust of the road that there could be
no shifting of the surface below
The advantage of such a carpet, ii
was said. would be to permanently
protect the crust. and Just as a carpet
on the floor softens the step so would
this carpet for the roads silence the
noise and reduce the shock of rolling
vehicles 1t was admitted that the
original cost of road so laid would
De more than that of a mud bound
road. but spreading the cost over a
series of years it would probably not
be so great since the crust of the road
itself would not have to be renewed.

cLEws AND THE AelTAToRs.

! Henry Clews views with alarm the
tendency that now prevails In con
gress to disturb the business interests
I of the country by continued agitation.
I The New York banker who keeps in
close touch with political agents of
national interest takes occasion. in
his latest weekly letter. to speak his
mind with reference TO the agitators
as follows:
How long will The business inter
ests of the country patiently submit TO
this unsettling political agitation and
investigation mania? Capital is not
the only interest that is suffering
from this sort OF political dementia
Enterprise has already been seriously
checked, and now labor is being
thrown out of employment in in
creasing numbers by the very agita-
ton which politicians pretend is for
the benefit of labor. If the investiga-
ton probe could only be applied to
some of our political agitators. the
disclosures rs To motives would doubt
less prove very interesting. In some
cases these motives are quite as open
to criticism as those of the money
trust, and even more harmful Appar-
emily the country will have to endure
this phase of agitation until the close
of congress, which will probably not
be before the national conventions in
June and July. We are now to be Gu
tertained with an investigation of the
so-eallsd money trust. Fortunately its
original purpose has been modified
and Will be carried out on more pru-
dent lines than at one time intended.
Very possibly some much needed re-
forms can be effected upon the meth
DDS of conducting large flotations.
syndicates. etc. Ii the investigation is
conducted by men of prudence and ex-
Ipcrience instead of by professional
agitators seeking cheap political adj
vertising, beneficial results may fol-
low Nevertheless, such an investiga-
ton will prolong the period of hest
fancy and uncertainty in the financial
district; for men of business are not
only depressed and harassed by such
maneuyering but their attention is dl-
verified from more legitimate occupa-
tons.
Outside of politics the general sit
uation is not bad In fact. there is
quite as much of good as of evil in
the general business makeup"
