First M. E. Special Services- -Funds Subseribed to Pay a Six Thousand Dollar Debt, DAILY GLOBE, Nov. 15 Yesterday was an unusual day among the churches of the city. It was' marked in the first place by the presence of at least half a dozen ministers from abroad who preached in various ones of the churches in the morning, afternoon and night.

Though few cities have abler ministers than Emporia, yet the fame of most of the visting divines was such as to add somewhat to the usual interest, and this with the clear, bright typical November day made the attendance at the various places of worship rather larger than ordinary. As had been announced, special services were held at the First Methodist Episcopal church, for the purpose of raising funds to pay the church debt of more than $6,000, which has been encumbering the congre gation since the completion of their beautiful stone temple of worship. Rev. C. W.

Parsons, of the Grand Avenue M. E. church, Kansas City, was accordingly present to conduct the services spiritual, and Mr. W. H.

Craig, a layman of the same church conducted, the services financial. The meetings were the culmination of a special plan and effort of the energetic pastor Rev. C. Snodgrass and his official board, which plan and effort were born of a determination to free the church of debt on or before next Sabbath. In the morning Rev.

Mr. Parsons was introduced by the pastor and preached a sermon from the text: "I am the door," ete. Mr. Parsons is a man of preposessing appearance. He has tine features which bespeak high intelligence, countenance and eyes which commend and command, and withal a good personal appearance, to which is added that indescribable personal magnetism which is half of an orator's power.

His discourse was learned, but not with pre tention, and quietly eloquent, so that the charmed audience attended every word of the truth with an intensity of interest seldom equaled. At the close of the sermon the pastor introduced Mr. Craig, who is a successful Kansas Oity real estate man, and who at once set 10 work to raise the subscriptions necessary to complete the whole amount and make those already secured binding, as all were conditioned on paying off the entire debt. No one who was present doubts Mr. Craig's eminent fitness for the generalship in such a movement.

He is systematic to begin with, having tigured out the whole indebtedness and knowing just how many two hundred dollars, one hundred dollars, tifty dollars, and so on, it would be necessary to get to cover the entire amount. He possesses tenacious perseverance coupled with the belief that all things are possible- These traits with his happy faculty of making pertinent and forcible comparisons and illustrations, many of them in themselves humorous and entertaining, enable him to succeed where others would fail, and as a consequence at 1:30 p. when the morning service adjourned, the required amount had all been subscribed except $750. At 7 o'clock Rev. Mr.

Parsons preached another magnificent sermon, his subject being: "What think ye of Christ?" this was followed as in the morning by Mr. Craig, and when the meeting closed there remained only about $200 to be raised. This result could hardly be believed by the happy congregation. It is commendable and remarkable, and during the series of this week the balance will doubtless be raised as upon it depends the payment of the other subscriptions and the church cannot afford not to raise it This grand achievement, in which our people generally are interested and for which they rejoice with the Methodist brethern is due more largely to the pastor, Rev. W.

C. Snodgrass, than to any other. His high ability as a minister and pulpit orator has been gladly acknowledged since his advent here. Now is proved the fact that he 18 a financier, as well, and a pastor capable of lending his people in this important respect. Only those who know him best are conversant with all he has done to achieve this result.

In the first place there was: well detined practical plan of work and then months of close, solicitations, indomitable, prosecution for the accomplishment of which many men of business and not of books, would have lacked the essential vim and endurance and faith. Three years ago he found the church in debt and next spring, at the end of the time which the polity of his church permits a pastor to remain, he will leave. He might have left the church aS he ound it and carried no blame but he Yelt that he could not go thus. Now he will leave with another claim on the love of his congregation and with an achievement record which will cause him to look back from his charge on the Atlantic coast to his work in Kansas with genuine pleasure and gratification, feeling conscio us of the verdict "well done. Most Excellent.

J. J. Atkins, Chief of Police, Knoxville, writes: "My family and I are beneficiaries of your most excellent medicine, Dr. King's New Discovery for consumption; having found be all that you claim for it, desire to testify to its virtue. My friends to whom I have recommended it, praise it at every Dr.

A. Taylor, of Hartford, returned a few days ago from a visit of some weeks in Tennessee, where he attended the funeral of his venerable and revered father. There are al number of people here who knew Dr. Taylor, and will be interested in reading the following brief obituary, which we take from the Elizabethtown (Tenn.) Mountaineer: Dr. Caswell C.

Taylor was born in Car ter county, Tennessee, May 15, 1795, and died at his home near Milligan College, October 10, 1886, aged 91 years, 5 months and 5 days. He married Miss Nancy Duncan, of Carter, who was the mother of his six children, of whom two sons, Captain Isaac of Hartford, Kansas, and Hon. Caswell C. Taylor, and one daughter, Mrs. Jane Millard, wife of Rev.

Sum Millard, of Johnson City, survive. Dr. Taylor was the son of Dr. Isaac Taylor, one of the pioneer fathers of east Tennessee, who, born in a heroic age and nursed in the lapof border war-fare to the music of the Indian war-whoop and the crash of the revolutionary thunders, were trained in the schools that make men giants, capable of subverting empires, and erecting on their ruins a fabric of free government at once the admiration and envy of the wdorld. Born in advance of the advent into the wilderness of academies and colleges, his early education embraced the rudiments imperfectly taught in the log cabin school, and his strong mind, grappling with the problems of practical life, developed into the vigorous, bold and manly proportions that distinguished him throughout life.

Physically he was over six feet high and perfectly proportioned and symmetrical -cast in manhood's noblest mouldperfect model at once of agility, herculean strength, exact proportion and manly beauty. An accurate and minute observer, he grasped and analyzed readily, Judged cautiously, but firmly, and maintained the decisions of his judgment with a tenacity of will as indomitable as fate. The first third of his long life was spent largely in the iron business in what is now Johnson county. The next forty odd years were devoted to agriculture and the practice of his profession. Twelve or fourteen years ago-having passed the limit he had assigned himself for the business affairs of life-he wound up his worldly matters and has since patiently awaited the final summons -and, happily, received it with joy and not with sorrow.

Until the dissolution of the party Dr. Taylor was a devoted Whig, and when the late struggle shook the continent and convulsed the nation, he was a firm adherent of the National cause. Fifty years ago he publicly confessed Christ and joined the Christian church, of which he died a member. Having sincerely devoted himself to the Saviour in life, he learned in everything to recognize the providence of his Allwise Father, so that he waited and watched for death as an enemy conquered and destroyed and welcomed the opening grave as the gateway to everlasting He life. has bidden adieu to his excellent daughter to his boys--two worthy sons of a noble sire--to their childrenand to a host of kindred and friends on this side of the death river, and gone to await their coming on the other shoregreeted and welcomed by the countless loved ones who have gone before.

Mrs. Margaret Evans. DAILY GLOBE, Nov. 16. The funeral services of Mrs.

Evans, wife of Rev. D. A. Evans, pastor of the Welsh Congregational church, were held at that church yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The death of Mrs.

Evans was sudden and unexpected. Hemorrhage set in before midnight preceding her death and a few hours later, at the time stated she expired. Medical aid was summoned but was without avail. The death of this estimable lady who leaves husband and five children is a sorrowful bereavement to the family and the church. She was a dutiful and devoted wife and mother, a consistent Christan and faithful worker in the church.

In all these relations she will be sadly missed, and in their affliction the family have the pathy of all their many friends. Mrs. Evans was born at Llangynog in North Wales and came to America with her husband from that land abou tsixteen years ago. They have lived in Pennsylvania and Ohio, and came here from the latter state nearly three years ago. She was 43 years old.

The funeral services were largely attended. The officiating ministers were Revs. F. T. Ingalls, John Jones, W.

E. Richards, Henry Rees of churches in or near this city, Rev. J. V. Jones of Bevier, and Revs.

J. Todd Jones and John Thomas of Arvonia. After the services the remains were borne to upper Dry Creek cemetery and laid to rest. The ministerial association at its meeting yesterday appointed Revs. H.

Mackay and F. D. Altman to draft resolutions, and the following were adopted: WHEREAS, It has pleased Almighty God in His wise and mysterious providence, to send a deep and poignant affliction on our esteemed brother and fellow worker in the Christian ministry, Rev. D. A.

Evans, in the death of his beloved wife; and WHEREAS, His affliction is as sudden and unexpected as it is greivous; Resolved, That we, his brethren in Christ, do hereby extend to him and his family our most sincere condolence and sympathy in his bereavement and we pray that our Heavenly Father who never willingly afflicts or grieves the children of men, may give to him the comfort and consolation he so greatly needs and which he alone can impart, to whose fatherly care we commend him. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be presented to Brothr Evans, also be spread on the minutes of the Union, and that a copy be presented to the city press for publication. SNOW HALL. SNOW HALL. Dedication of the New Natural History Building of the University of Yesterday the new natural history building of the University of Kansas was dedicated at Lawrence.

This beautiful new structure is located on Mt. Oread west of the main university building. It was named "Snow Hall" in honor of Pof. F. H.

Snow, who has had charge of the natural history department of the university for twenty years. The new hall is of stone and is mediceval architecture. It was built by the state at a cost of $50,000, the appropriation having been made two years ago. The didicatory address was delivered by Prof. E.

D. Cope, a noted Philadelphia scientist, his subject being the "Relation of Science to Human Besides other addresses during day and evening Governor John A. Martin when formerly consigning the new edifice to the care of the regents, spoke as follows: In the stirring poem read by our Kansas poet at the Quarter-Centennial, it is said: "States are not great Except as men make them. Men are not great except they do and dare. But states, like men, Have destinies that take themThat bear them on, not knowing why or The wonderful growth and marvelous prosperity Kansas, unprecedented in the history of American states, is not alone due to soil, climate, resources and topography.

Other states have soils as productive, climate as healthful, resources more varied, and landscapes as lovely as ours The unexampled development and prosperity of Kansas is the logical result of her splendid citizenship, and the intellectual and moral forces this citizenship has set at work in every township of the state. Our pioneer settlers laid the foundation of a school house and a church by the side of their first rude homes, and from that day to this the idea thus planted 1 has spread and flourished with the development of the commonwealth. The people of Kansas may have been parsimonious in some things, but they have never stinted their expenditures to provide for all the children of the state the most ample educational facilities. A few days ago the oldest and most richly endowed college in this country celebrated the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary of its foundation. For more than two centuries Harvard has been the pride of the great within whose borders it has been located, and yet it has never received, from Massachusetts, aS much money as the young state of Kansas has appropriated during the past five years to establish and maintain this university.

The older generations of Kansas, however, hold a divided allegiance. They love and are proud of the state of their adoption, but memories of the fields and hills and streams of their birthplace are still singing in their hearts, The young men and women who come up, to Mount Oread to be equipped for the battle of life, will be, as a rule, natives of the state, and attached to it by the undivided ties of childhood's memories and the pride and faith of maturer years. Generations after generation of these sons and daughters of Kansas will be inspired, within these walls, to higher aims, nobler motives, and larger and broader views of human life and endeavor. We meet, to-day, to formally celebrate another step in the growth and progress of the state university--to dedicate this beautiful building, the home, for all future time, of the department of natural history. Very properly the building is to bear the name of the learned, devoted and enthusiastic teacher to whose energy, industry and zeal the state is indebted for the treasures that are gathered within its walls.

I discharge a very pleasant duty, gentleman of the board of regents, when, in the name of the state, I commit to your keeping this stately edifice. See that the purpose of the legislature, in ordering it is fully carried out. Study the needs of this great educational institution, and make them known. Strive to keep it, in all its departments, fully abreast with the grwoth and progress of the state. In this endeavor you can, am confident, rely on the cordial and generous co-operation of the intelligent people of Kansas, and the hearty support of their chosen representatives in the legislature.

Chancellor J. N. Lippincott, responded to the governor's address accepting the hall on behalf of the university. Commissioner Election Contest. As has already been announced, Jacob Jacobs, will contest the election of W.

P. Gould as commissioner in the Third district of this county. The judges in the contest were selected to day, and consists of J. W. Parrington, E.

W. Cunningham and F. A. Brogan. The first is a member of the board ex-officio, and the other gentlemen were selected by him.

The hearing for the contest case will be set for some time in December. The matter will involve two points--the number of votes cast and the technical question of law as to Mr. Gould's eligibility, 1 he having been township clerk at the time of election. Mr. Gould being a Republican and Mr.

Jacobs a Democrat and of the two members who hold over one being a Republican and the other a Democrat, the matter has naturally drifted into politics. Upon it depends the complexion of the board of commissionees for next year. Mr. Gould's friends think he will not only prove to be elected, but will have his majority considerably supplemented by a recount of the ballots as they have reason to believe more votes which are technically illegal, omitting the "jr." for instance have been cast for Jacobs than for Gould. As to the matter of uneligibility, if the fact that Mr.

Gould was townfhip clerk, to which office his successor was elected on the day of the election in question, is a bar, we have a very queer sort of board of commissioners at present, as Mr. Grinsley, when elected, was trustee of Agnes City township, and Mr. McMillan was a member of the school board, believe, when he was elected. In the case of Mr. Grimsley, the matter was mentioned, and the county, attorney considered that as the will the people had been expressed, and there was no Supreme court decisoan in the matter, it would not be wise to institute any contest in the case, as it was doubtful if when carried to the supreme court it would be sustained.

The Democrats this time seem think otherwise, and they have the right to litigate, we suppose. The Century for 1886-87. The Century is an illustrated monthly magazine, having a regular circulation of about two hundred thousand copies, often reaching and sometimes exceeding two hundred and twenty-five thousand. Chief among its many attractions for the coming year is a serial which has been in active preparation for sixteen years. It is a history of our own country in its most critical time, as set forth in the Life of Lincoln, by his confidential secretaries, John G.

Nicolay and Col. John Hay. This great work, begun with the sanction of President Lincoln and continued under the authority of his son, the Hon. Robert T. Lincoln, is the only full authoritative record of the life of Abraham Lincoln.

Its authors were friends of Lincoln before his presidency; they were most intimately associated with him as private secretaries throughout his term of office, and to them were transferred upon Lincoln's death all his private papers. Here will be told the inside history of the civil war, and President Lincoln's administration- -important details of which have hitherto remained unrevealed, that they might first appear in this authentic history. By reason of the publication of this work, the war series, which has been followed with unflagging interest by a great audience will occupy less space during the coming year. Gettysburg will be described by Gen. Hunt (Chief of the Union Artillery), Gen.

Longstreet, Gen. E. Law, and others; Chickamauga, by Gen. D. H.

Hill; Sherman's March to the Sea, by Generals Howard and Slocum. Generals Q. Gillmore, Wm. F. Smith, John Gibbon, Horace Potter, and John S.

New Orleans States: I say it boldly: and without fear of contradiction, there is not a man living, who is at all times proof against feminine fascinations, who has not, at some period in his life's history, indulged in the hope of realizing his dreams of domestic happiness, in which the face of some real or ideal woman shone forth as the guiding star to brighten his life. No man ever indulged in dreams of domestic happiness outside of his ideal home. The world is his at all times, in which to roam at his own sweet will. His experience teaches him that in all the world can offer there is nothing so sweet as the love which lives in the home, gives rest to the soul and that peace of mind which the world cannot give; his innermost soul craves for it, so satisfying is it in its tenderness. True love is the very mainstay of happiness, and no outward ruin "can wreck the citidel where the immortal lives." Is it the fear of the failure to realize such happiness as this that keeps these dreamers from secking it in marriage? The most inveterate club man, the bitterest scoffer of "love in cottage," are those men who failed, from lack of confidence in their power of persuasion or want of means in their youth to win the one particular woman they worshiped as their ideal.

Disappointment in love is one of the main causes of there being so many old bachelors in the world. Bereft of Reason. The sorowful spectacle of a mind unhinged by grief was witnessed recently at the St. Louis Union Depot. J.

P. Wooten was seated in an Iron Mountain car on his way home to Jackson, Tenn, He had come to the city to secure an oil painting of his wife, who was poisoned some months ago by her colored cook, Eliza Wood. The picture beautiful one, about twenty inches square, magnificently framed, and cost $150. is the work of Will J. Lowry.

Wooten had the picture resting beside him and would exhibit it to all who entered the car. He would simply say, "This is my poor wife who was poisoned by negro woman who was hung at Jackson." He would then refer in very feeling terms to their little child, which was also poisoned. While showing the picture he talk very after rutionally, but would immediately drift into religious matters, on which point he is decidedly unsettled. He said he had been an engineer for seven years, but would never pull a throttle again, as he had another mission to fulfill, namely, to meet and defeat Bob Ingersoll. He was very earnest in his conversation, and his eye had the quick, rolling expression common to those of mental allevation.

Mr. Wooten is very gentlemanly and courteous, and his malady is of that harmless kind which excites strong sympathy and respect. Bucklen's Arnica Salve.
