One Of the most extraordinary and
fantastic Christian places Of worship
In the world Is the Cathedral Of Mos
cow, known as Vasili Blajenni, strange
not only In outline and conception, but
even stranger in its history. .--
e No one knows the architects name,
but the story goes that the czar or
dered his eyes to be put out directly
the church was completed, so that he
should never be able to surpass bis
work.
The idea Of the building was inspired
by the wickedest and maddest mon
arch who ever sat on throne-1van
the Terrible, car Of Muscovy.
The architecture is in every respect
extravagant and barbar1c, and the COL
oring is garish in the extreme. It has
nine chapels, rooted by nine cupolas,
each different and each stranger than
the other. One resembles a pineapple,
another melon, third Is said to ape
a hedgehog in its appearance, and the
rest are more or less grotesque. Some
are gilt; others are painted In brilliant
hues.

a unique Halloween So

clal was given In the basement of the
Methodist church by the members of
70 Epworth league. The decora-
lions, program and amusements were
all in conformity with the occasion.
The feature of the evening was the
"witch's den," which was constructed
In one of the anti-rooms. Miss
Gladys Getchell in a "witch's' CO.'S
tune presided in the den and Miss
Alice Whiting in "ghost" costume
blindfolded the guests and lead them
into the den. In the center of the
den was a large iron cauldron filled
with peanuts which had been opened,
the kernels removed and in their
place fortunes had been placed, which
revealed the past and foretold the
ture to anyone adventuresome
Jugh to try their luck. Other
halloween "stunts" were also played
and just before refreshments were
served all the lights were turned out
and ghost stories told.
Black cats, jack-o-lanterns and
other Halloween emblems were used

s1ve Halloween games, ten tables be-
ing used, with four people at each

peanut punch, picture puzzles, apple
thread, raisin thread, bobbing for ap-
pies, pairing apples to see who got the
longest parings, picking up peanuts
from the floor with a jack knife,
picking up beans out of bowl with
chopsticks and guessing the number
OF kernels on cob of corn. A Hal

Tuesday, Oct. 81, will be All Hal
lows Eve, or as we used to say, Hal
lowe'en. The night when youth and
ETHEREAL spirits hold sway, when low
ers make up their quarrel and plight
their troth. The night that the
ghosts are presumed to play fantas-
tic tricks on we poor mortals of this
mundane sphere. This day is one
that has authority of great age, it
having been developed in the ancient
pagan days when Rome ruled the
world. The custom arose from the
worship of fire. In the fall it was
the custom to light all of the house
hold fires from the sacred fire and
this custom soon was set for GER
tain day. When the Christian cal
endar was established this date was
made All Saints Eve.

 Col. Harris stated yesterday that he was daily expecting orders from the head of the militia bureau ordering him to round up these men to be taken to the border and tried for desertion.
 He advises those men though. 10 come in and report to him. then go 10 the border voluntarily. where they will not be treated as deserters.
 No matter if the regiment only stays on the border ten days said the Colonel yesterday. these men who have failed 10 report will save them selves the disgrace of being treated as deserters and undergoing the penalty attached to that crime. By reporting without force. their dereliction of duty will be overlooked, and no black marks will be made against their records.
 "On the other hand if they wait for
