UNION SEMINARY
 OBSERVANCE SET
Theological School Near ing Tooth Birthday; z,-
 800. Grads to Attend

Union Theological Seminary, the only iflterdenominational school for the training of ministers in New York city, and the only theological school in the country not controlled by. any church body or educational institution, is nearing its one hum dredth birthday. On May 16, 1t will open a four-day Centennial celebra- ton, 1t was announced today by Dr. Henry Sloane Coffin, its president. The Centennial program now being developed will not only show the varied accomplishments of the semi nary in its century of life. but will also give its faculty and student body representing 30 different Pro- testant denominat tions. its more than 2,5CO alumni in nearly every state of the Union and many foreign countries, and it's many friends, a part in the celebration.
 The seminary was founded in 1886 when nine men, five of them lay men, met at the home in New York of Knowles Taylor, 9 prominent Presbyterian layman. Until that time most theological seminaries had been places of cloistered and usually rural seclusion. devoted to single religious denomination. The founders of Union Theological Se- minary wanted it's students to come in contact with city life and the many fields of knowledge then for- cign to the early nineteenth century conception of theology. They opened its doors Ito students of every de- nomination of Christians on equal terms. H " F1%.
 The first home of Union TheoIog- ical Seminary was in downtown New York-the residence of its first pres ident, the Rev. Thomas Mckinley, D. D. There were 13 students. To- day the faculty alone is triple the size of the original student body. and it's Gothic buildings at Broad- way and l2Oth street cover more than two city blocks. It has a stu- dent body of 400. It stands fin the greatest educational center in Amer lea surrounded by Columbia Uni. Iversity, Teachers College, Barnard College, the Jewish Seminary, the Juilllnrd schol of music aRd other Important institutions.

The New Haven railroads deficit after fixed charges in 1895 was cut $1,97l, ,645 as compared with 1884, President H. s. Palmer reports to the stockholders in his annual statement just issued. The 1895 de-. flcit was $3,560, ,46g not including $1,123,439 guarantees on separately operated properties. The improve rnent in net was accounted for by an increase in gross revenues of $1, $50, ITO, accompanied by 8 reduc- ton n the roads operating ratio from 76O9 to 7371, fin the face of unfavorable increases in expenses arising from the restoration of the remaining 2 Ia per cent of the 10 per cent deduction from employees wages: increased price of coal at the mines; and increased expendi- lures for repairs to Stea 1nlocon1o- tives and passenger train cars. "The good showing was also helped by the crediting back of $494, AS additional charges which had been included in 1884 accounts in con- f1ection with the realroad retire. ment act which was declared un- constitutional last year.
 Freight Revenue The trustees of the road, who took charge of the property on De- cember 2, collaborated in the report in order to preserve the continuity of the annual increased S1, ,433, ,159, or 36 per cent, and passenger reve- nlles $470,511, or 2.2 per cent. The emergency Sllr-chargeS on certain freight rates which went into effect April 18, 1895, accounted for most of the increase in freight revenues, $1,244.000 coming from these sur charges. Snow trains were given a share of the credit for 8 28 per cent increase in the roads excursion business, bringing total revenues from this source up to $1,O82, ,966, an increase of $236,873 over 1894. While taxes showed a decrease of $377,752 under 1894, the $4,134, ,126 tax bill of 1885 Sis equivalent to q payment of 33.57 cents from each dollar of operating revenues re- maining after deducting operating expenses, equipment and joint fa- cility rents" Mir. Palmer says. This tax burden will be increased, he points out, by about $1,150,0O0 a year under the tax act passed in connection with the new railroad retirement act, the constitutionality of which is being contested, while the social security act will event.. ually add another 1,050,000 8 year to the roads tax bill.

TONIGHT IN.CARD TOURNEY
St. Margaret's H. N. Play= CTS Start Champions
 ship Series

It will be a rather trying night for certain members of. the AS" tournament among the members of St. Margaret,s Holy Name society, especially those on the teams cap- tained by Dick Baldwin and Patrick T'laherty, who will enter into a championship game which will be played as an overture to the reg .tllar schedule arranged for the eve- ming. ;, ra. .
 Trafic Oficer Baldwin and his outfit will be recalled as the win rlers of the first series while the F'laherty men won the next group of games. The winner of tonight's important play-of will later meet the, winner of the second half of the season tourney for the coveted trophy. The third series was won by Captain Johnny Deeley, whose team will engage the. fourth and final series champs for the right to be one of the contestants in the crucial play-off that is to take place about one month hence.
 Regardless of these activities. the race to beat the other team will be one of great competition and 1t is expected that all entries will be at their greatest strength. The winner of the present series of games of course will have an equal opportun- ity to compete for the honors that will later be at stake.
 !. Luke Bowling, coach of the Flah- erty team and Joseph Reilly, who holds a similar position with Bald- wins players, were both busily en- gagged today completing prepara- tions for tonight's important gon- test and both stopped. only long enough to predict that the other team will be eliminated. Captain Dick Baldwin didn't have much to say, but appeared to be worried to a certain extent when 1t was brought out .that Flaherty's team won their honors without a single defeat. iI.ts.,I

 Harty was on his way toward the school with the payroll which he had just obtained from the bank, when, he told police, 8 man who had secreted himself in the rear of the car ordered him to follow the machine ahead. On the, Litchfield road, he said, he stopped his car and the men got out of the other two cars and took the payroll after one of them had struck him across tho face. ,l r Faces Arrest g {, .

BIG CROWD TO
GO TO YAKIMA
Night Football Game Attracts
Fans; Tight Game is in
Prospect

The biggest bunch of Kennewick
football fans to follow the local
team to an outside game win at
tend the tussle at Yakima tomor-
row friday night, when the team
will play under the lights.
Both teams are making special
preparations for the game, both
having laid off last weekend in
view of the battle to be staged to-
morrow. Last year Kennewick sur
prised the lads from the city by
winning the game and this year the
upriver boys are preparing to avenge
the insult. On the other hand the
Berry Pickers are determined to
show the Hop Pickers that it can
be repeated.
Our special reporter says that
Coach Slater has the locals in
good shape to win the game, work
ing the team overtime on the
charging sled with special training
in blocking and tackling "and would
say that Yakima is in for q tough
evening"
In the lineup Pardini is replac-
ing Holden as tackle; Bishop and
Shields replacing Pardini and So
per at guard; otherwise the same
team that started at Dayton will
open at Yakima.
Yakima is pointing for Oliver who
made such a sensation up there last
fall, gaining for himself q state
wide reputation as an openfield
runner. Sportswriters up there,
while confident of victory, are not
undertaking divers ability this
year and are giving notice that he
will have to be carefully guarded to
prevent another upset as he did q
year ago.

GOOD READERS
CONSIDER NIB.
Convention Accepts Resolu-
tons Concerning Down
River Highway a-

Fifteen resolutions concerning the
completion of the Evergreen high
way were submitted to the Washing
ton Good Roads convention held in
Ellensburg last week, according to
a report made to the chamber Of
commerce this noon by H. G.
Schmidt. In fact, Mr.. Schmidt re-
ported, the one highway seemed to
have been the most talked of road
in the convention, and he has no
doubt but that the recommendations
will have much effect in the deter
mination of the organization to
have the route completed. i
It was pointed out that the last
expensive piece of construction work
on the route would be completed
and opened for through traffic De-
cember first. This is the Cook Un-
derwood cutoff which has been UNI
der construction for the past two
years. This link will shorten the
route ten miles and about an hours
travelling time between Maryhiil and
Vancouver.
The connecting link between
Maryhill and Pasco is a compare
lively inexpensive piece of con-
struction, the completion of which
is necessary before the state can
hope for the fullest returns on the
something over four million dollar
construction cost already marked
up against this all-winter highway.
Mr.. Schmidt reported whole
hearted cooperation from the dele
gates from the lower river COM
munities in favor of the completion
of the connecting link in the up
river section. The nearness to COM
pletion of the Bonneville power pro-
ject and its resultant increase in
transportation needs was given as
one of the most important factors
calling for the completion of the
eastern section of the highway.
