dent Of the hospital When he went
to the farm the COWS were "eatlng
their heads off, they were poor in
quality and gave little milk They
we're replaced by hlghbred Holsteins
and as a result plenty of good. rich
milk has been furnished the county
patients. The garbage was formerly
hauled away by a farmer but Mr..
Foster decided 10 get a herd Of hogs
and feed the garbage on the farm.
The result has been that hogs netted
considerable money and large guam
titles Of farm yard manure have en-
rlched the farm.
The report shows outside relief for
! the four quarters as follows ST.
SOLOS. $1,755,51, S2.S4241 and ST.
| 1885. The total appropriation was
$47 900 and the expenses $46923.53
leaving a balance OF S7647. That
amount was turned over 10 the Levy
Court as well as 1863 for board OF
patients and $i,855.79 for sale OF
stock and farm produce The outdoor
relief was $500 less than for the
preceding year
The report shows that s2S227 was
realized from the sale Of wheat
stock. S96A21; hay, S35510 and that
the patients paid s76O17 for board
Farm Products.
The report also shows that the lit
tie farm has been turning out bic
crops and that $4,000 quarts Of milk
were obtained from the cows during
the year.
The farm yielded 1900 bushels of
potatoes, 200 bushels Of wheat, 55

$50 bushel Of corn and 1000 bundles
OF fodder. The value of the farm

markable showing for a fifty acr,

showing.

WOULD CUT DOWN
THE LORDS Prayer
Protestant Episcopal Com
mission TO Suggest Drop
ping of Last Sentence
DECLARE LANGUAGE
WAS DOXOLOGY

NEW YORK. July s1.-A movement
has been launched in the Protestant
Episcopal Church to shorten the
Lords Prayer. This recommendation
is made by the Commission on Revis-
ing the Book of Common Prayer and
is contained in=the report Of a sub
committee on the Lords Prayer The
committee will report at the triennial
general convention Of the Protestant
Episcopal Church TO be held In St.
Louis, beginning October 1 next and
continuing through the month.
The part Of the prayer which the
subcommittee recommends cutting
out Is For Thine Is the kingdom, and
the power and the glory forever
Amen"
IN asking this omission the commit
tee is adopting the Lords Prayer as
the Roman Catholic Church has said
it all down through the centuries
That church takes the ground that
this was a little doxology added by
the early translators and that II was
not in the original text OF the Holy
Scriptures.
This fact alone probably will tend
10 make the "low church" party I'm the
Episcopal Church oppose the recon.
mendation.
With the suggested omission the
prayer will read;
"Our Father. who art In heaven
hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom
come. Thy will be done on earth as 4
Is in heaven. Give MS this day ouI
daily bread. And forgive us our tres
passes. as we forgive those who tres
pass against us. And lead US not int
temptation, but deliver us from evil
Amen"
A prominent Episcopal clergyman
has denied the above story in these
words
There Is no attempt whatever by
the commission. so far as ] can de-
tect 10 cut down the Lords Prayer
but what It is trying 10 do Is TO de
eide on some general plan for the
use OF the long and short version ol
he prayer"
He explained that the elimination
81 the words For Thine is the king
dom and the power and the glory
forever. Amen" might be done with
out any serious Interference with the
Episcopal Church service and with
out any serious objection from an,
source Both versions of the prayer,
said he were found In the Bible
the short one in 81. Luke and th'
long one in ST Mathew found In IN
Sermon on the Mount. so that eithe
would be perfectly proper and per
mlssihle He explained further tina
IN the two forms Of the prayer j
The Prayerbook IL has been regarde
that the form which includes IN
Doxology or the part sought 20 b
eliminated. Is more appropriate 70
festal occasions and the shorter on
COR penitential occasions, but tn
commission claims this 10 be invali'
reasoning as either form is entirely
appropriate for any church occasion
II Is claimed that the longer form
should be used when the praper Is L
be said by both minister and the con
gregation, but when Il is used b.
the minister alone. as in the case o
weddings the short form should b
used He doubted very much how
ever. that the report OF the commits
sion would be ratified az the triennia
convention OF the Episcopal Churc'

In case of a strike by the rail

be a shortage in all sorts of sup
plies, for the supply that is avail
able is much shorter than the av-

safe to say that in two weeks the
shortage in all staples would be
felt by every one except those
who live at home and make what
they use, and even they would
feel the shortage on many things
that must be bought. A general

In case of war with Mexico, a
general railroad strike affecting
all the great systems of the coun.
try would be rather awkward to
deal with. 1t would be Indirectly
aiding the enemies of the country
by preventing the transportation
of ammunition and other sup
plies, but very likely the railroad
men, in case of war, would see it
in that light and be too patriotic
to strike at such a time.
