Baptist Church Raises S5,775.


The sum of s5,775 was raised last
evening by the members of the North
Topeka Baptist church, a start for
a fund to be used in the building of
a new church.
The building campaign was intro
duced by banquet at the church, at
tended by over one hundred members,
and the call for pledges met with an
enthusiastic response.
The church owns lots at the north
east corner of Jackson and Park
streets. and plans had been discussed
for building the church on this site,
but the outbreak of the war caused
plans to be abandoned for the time
being.
While the campaign, begun last
night, will be pushed energetically,
the actual building of the new church
probably will not be started for some
months. 1t is planned to use the
stone in the old building in the con-
struction of the new church.

BASEMENT OF METHODISJT
CHURCH AT ORLANDO

Orlando, May 16.-What might have
been a serious fire was discovered in
the basement of the Methodist church
at the corner of Jackson and st.
Main street, shortly before one
o'clock yesterday Mr. F.. w. Sher-
man, who is staying in the parsonage
during the absence Of Rev. ]. r.
Cason and his family, saw smoke com
ing from the basement through the
iron gratings. and notified the depart
ment' which made record run to
the scene of action.
When the basement was entered It
was found pile Of shavings had been
set afire, but had not yet blazed
There was no damage sustained. The
fire was started by two small boys
who crawled into the basement by
knocking one of the CRATES out. The
youngsters evidently thought it would
be lots of fun to build a fire in the
basement, but when the smoke be-
came rather dense, thought better Of
thir play and hurriedly left the
scene.

MRS. DARLING DECLARED
NOT GUILTY

Orlando, May 16--Mrs. Grace DarI-
ing, on trial for the murder of her
husband, was acquitted by the jury
last night and has been given her
liberty.
The State endeavored to prove that
Mrs. Darling was not only in her
sane mind when she committed the
deed, but that she had planned it.,
even to the extent of Turing her hus-
band to the secluded spot where she
shot him dead.
The defense on the other hand en-
deavored to prove that she was not
only insane, but that Darling had
threatened her life on former occa-
sions and that she had a perfect right
to assume he was about to kill her
when he said, Now is as good a
time as ever and withdrew his arm
from hers. The defense also claimed
that 1t was Darling who lead the way
to the dark and dismal spot to bully
rag her into granting him a divorce.
Shortly after the afternoon session
was called, Prosecuting Attorney JOS
eph Jones closed for the state the
most remarkable charges ever given
in this district.

BUILDING HOMES RIGHT

Many new houses are to be erect
ed in st. Petersburg this summer and
they are to be of better construction
and better arranged than houses built
here some years ago when the de
mand for residences was so great
that buildings were thrown together
without much regard for appearance
or convenience.
A great American architect was
in the habit of using this expression
to his clients and Students
"The inharmonious distribution of
expenditure!"
When asked for his meaning, he ex.
planned that he once stopped in a
hotel with a white marble grand
stairway, the posts and ballusters OF
which were elaborately carved. To
one side this stairway was the cheap.
est type of passenger elevator that
most of the time did not run by rea
The architect went on to explain
son of Its being out Of order.
The architect went on to explain
that it would have been more har
monious distribution of expenditure
to have spent less on elaborate carv'
ing and more on the elevator.
There is going to be lot of home
building within the next few years
and this principle of inharmonious
distribution Of expenditure will apply
TO the frame dwelling quite as well
as the commercial structure.
In our home building of the past
we have sacrificed much in the way
of comfort and convenience for mere
bigness and useless elaboration.
But we are learning, for instance
that a chicken will cook just as well
with a kitchen table or sink along
side and next to the range rather
than on the other side OF a 16-foot
room
The modern kitchen is small, very
much in the nature of a laboratory
and is being designed to save steps
and motions as in the case of the
modern factory
We are learning that it is better
to expend the cost of towers, dor.
mers, elaborate gable fronts and bev.
eled glass windows in more and bet.
ter plumbing, heating and the gener.
al utilities of a dwelling, that it is the
more harmonious distribution of ex
penditure.-St Petersburg Indepen
dent
