The exhibition of needle and art work, which will open at the Propylaeum Tuesday morning under the auspices of the Girls' Industrial School, will be a comparative ihowlng of needle craft. It rlalnly shows the progress made in different countries. It will take but little time to recognize the ethnical national genius In the different specimens of workmanship. These differences are subtle, many of them so delicate that they cannot he expressed in words. In so simple a matter as th lln each natfen treats It in lt own way. The English cniM tends to a salld straight thread, and In a rourve to a compact and regular figure. The French child prefers the thin line and loves to break it here and there, and in curves prefers those which are graceful and open to those which are closed and more symmetrical. The Italians, on tho other hand, form loops and intersection!, as if they were trying to express in thread tho marvelous conceits of the architecture of Venice and Lombardy. The Japanese mind

BUFFALO BILL'S RIDERS

THEY FIRMSII THEIR. VSUAL TIiniLLIXG EXHIBITION. Storming of San Jaan Hill an Added Feature Dig; Crowds In Attendance. Col. W. F. Cody (Buffalo Bill), with his Wild West and Congress of Rugh Riders, entertained large crowds yesterday afternoon and last night at the show ground?, west of the river. In the morning, at 10 o'clock, the aggregation gave a street parade which was witnessed by thousands of people and which alone gave an Idea of what the famous scout and 1 frontiersman has been able to accomplish In the way of a unique and entertaining exhibition. Since Buffalo Bill visited this city last new attractions have been added to the show, not the least of which is the "Battle of San Juan Hill," one of the chief events In the hiitory of the Spanish-American war. At the performances yesterday afternoon and last night between 10,000 and 15,000 people applauded the "battle" and the other Interesting events on the programme. One of the features of the show was the cowboy band, a musical organization, excellently trained and under the leadership of William Sweeney. The opening overture of the band was "The Star-spangled Banner." which excited the applause of the crowds. Tho performance opened with a grand review. In which the Rough Riders of the World Indians, cowboys, Coccasks, Arabs and detachments of soldiers representing different armies of the world took part. BuTalo Bill etlll has Annie Oakley and Johnnie Baker, both" celebrated shots, with his show, and they gave their usual clever exhibition. Baker is a protege of Buffalo Bill. He was brought up on Cody's ranch and was by him taught to use firearms. It makes little difference to Baker how he shoots. Standing on his feet, on his head or lying on his back, he 13 equally dexterous in his marksmanship. Miss Oakley Is an illustration of what a woman may do with a shotgun and a basket of glass balls. She shoots with unerring aim. The spectators were particularly well pleased with the drill In which Captain Thome's Battery D, Fifth Regiment, United States Artillery, took part. The men are exceptionally well trained. The exhibition was given with two large field pieces, drawn by horses trained to the work. People' waited with a good deal of curiosity for the "Battle of San Juan Hill," which had been specially "featured" by the press agent. Among the men who took part In It were detachments from Roosevelt's Rough Riders-, Twenty-fourth Infantry, Ninth and Tenth Cavalry, Grimes's Battery and some of Garcla's Cuban scouts. The battle was given In two scenes. The first was "A Halt on the Road to San Juan." The United States troops came on the field, presumably wearied from a long march. They lay down to rest, and during the wait of a few minutes sang "America. The familiar air, as it floated across the field, touched a responsive chord In the hearts of the spectators, and a great clapping of har-'s interrupted the song. To the south of the men, stretched across the field, was a great canvas showing the rich tropical hostile country. Socn the mes passed from the field and the programme said that several hours were supposed to elapse before the opening of the second scene, the "Storming of the Hill." In this scene the hill was shown, with the Spanish blockhouse at ti e top. From the top of the house floated the Spanish colors, and the Spanish forces were there, waiting for tho attack to begin. Suddenly a cannon shot was heard and the clear notes of a bugle were sounded. Then the Americans came and stormed the hill. The battle was brier, but thrilling. Before the spectators had time to pick out the different heroes of the historical event the battle was over and the American flag floating over the Spanish fort. The band played "The Star-sponsled Banner" as the American colors were planted on the hill, and it seemed that every' man, woman and child recognized It and applauded. The Buffalo Bill show has Its comic features, and these were furnished by the cow boys in lassoing wild horses and riding bucking bronchos. There was also a musical military drill by detachments from the Sixteenth Lancers, British army, and the Garde Klirassiers of the Germany army. A flno exniDinon or norsemansnip was given by veterans from Colonel Sumner's regiment at Fort Meyer, Va. A group of Rlfltan Arab horsemen rave their native snorts and nas times, and the Cossacks performed some astounding feats of horsemanship. A group of Mexicans ctme out and showed how the lasso may be used by those skillful in tnrowmg it. Tne rescue of an emigrant train crossing the plains, by Buffalo Bill, scouts and cowboys, who attacked and repulsed a band of Indians, thrilled the hearts of the old-timers wno nad been "West and recal!ed the days of '49. The old Deadwood mall coach had Its usual narrow escane from the Indians, when Buffalo Bill came to the rescue with his cowboys. The Indian fea ture of the show was unusually eood. Braves from the Brule Sioux tribe gave an illustration of the Indian mode of fighting ana naa tneir war dances and games. Colonel Cody gave an exhibition of shamshooting which demonstrated that hi3 aim does not grow less true as he advances in years. He Fhoots entirely with a rifle and rareiy ever messes the glass balls thrown in the air in front of him as he rides across tne neid. xnc Durraio nunt was one of the unique reatures or the performances. Cni. Cody has about the last of the only Known neru 01 native Dunaio. B. OF L. IN FEDERAL COURT. An Illinois Receivership Asked to Be Made Ancillary. The suit of Isaac N. Vanclevo against the Equitable Loan and Investment Association of Bloomlngton, III., asking that the receni appointment of a receiver .by Judge Allen of Illinois, be made ancillary, was yesterday filed in the United States Court. The peti tlon states that the association was organ ized in 1890 and that two-thirds of the stock is held in Illinois. In all there are 12.000 shares of stock outstanding. The loans in force are 1300.000, of which $250,000 is In 1111 nola and 110,000 is In Indiana, Most of these loans are onv small dwellings, and many roreciosures nave toeen necessary. The petl tlon says the association has never com plied with the Indiana law. which reaulrea such organizations to deposit $100,000 with the auditor of state for the protection of the stockholders in the State, and that thfa association Is moro than one year behind the payment of withdrawals for which applications have been filed. The assets aro $200,000 and are scattered over many States. The petition states that In the last year the association has received $110,000 and has paid out $120,000. and has thus Increased its Insolvency and caused more members to refuse to pay dues and interest. There Is now on hand less than $10,000. and the pending applications for withdrawals amount to $20,CO). The petitioner claims that the real estate which is given as worth $200,000, is valued from the cost to the association, and that its actual value is not more than $1aCC0 to $125,000. The petitioner further claims that the real estate now mortgaged is worth less than the mortgages placed on it, and that there is J&.ooo due in unpaid premiums, interest, dues. etc. The total assets vare given es being $CS0.00O and the liabilities as over $3w).tW. Edward Berry was appointed receiver In Illinois, and the petitioner states that it will be better for all stockholders If but one receiver shall administer the trust, and for that reason this action Is asked. Quarrel of n Brother ami Sister. Because of some trouble, on May 1, over a towel. Augusta S. Richardson, living at No. 4."S East Louisiana street, filed complaint In Justice Smock's court, alleging that her brother, Joseph Souers, who lives at the tame number, would do her harm unless restrained. She asked that he give bond to keep the peace. Upon the death of Andrew Souers, father of the young people, they came into possession of his property, share and share alike. Mrs. Richardson's husband Is said to be serving in the army at Manila, and regularly contributes to her support. Before the death of her father she did not live at home, but moved there immediately thereafter. About this time a man named Samuel Glhlsple, an employe of the Big Four Railway, began boat ding

and living there. As his sister was married and her husband far away, Joseph Souers objected to the new man paying her so much attention, but his remonstrances, according to his testimony, brought nothing except curses and abusive language from his sister. On May 1. after an argument about the towel, Augusta Richardson claims that her brother threatened to "shoot her head off." and the complaint was then made. Prior to this she said he had thrown a poker and a butcher knife through a window at her.

In speaking of his friend he said: "Dr. Haines has filled the pulpit of one of the leading churches in the West for fourteen consecutive years. This means that he has addressed the same Jury over &X times, and the iurv is still willine to listen. It means a great industry and a resource of tact and skill which few possess. Ana now when tho great Presbyterian Church is looking for a man to preside over its national legislature and supreme court many in the Last and West are asking for Dr. Haines. He unites in himself the chief qualities, positive and negative, of a good presiding officer. Ho is not too young. He is not too old. He has discretion. He knows when to talk and what to say.

Moulton and others) who believe that after the supper and before the agony in the garden. Jeus spent wnie hours of the night with His disciples In the temyle. If so, the figure of "the vine" may have been sucgested by the gcldea vine which Herod the Great had placed there, above the Gclden Gate. Or some vineyard by the roadside may have made the suggestion. Indeed, it is not necessary to imagine any immediate suggestion as the vine was the national emblem and most familiar' of objects. In this figure of speech Jesus asEerta In the strongest pcssihle ra&nner Ills fundamental relation to humanity. He la sole source of spiritual life and fruitfulness. Abiding in the stock (Jesus) and pruned by the husbandman (the Father) the branches (the disciples) live and bear fruit (Verse 1.) Apart from the stock tho branches wither (Vertes 5, 6.) The words of Jesus are the Instrument by means of which the branch is pruned. His example and ideals of character and duty apprehended, admired and reallied, make genuine disciples, whose lives honor and commend the God they serve. (Verse 8.) He whose deliberate and perpetual choice is to maintain a vital union tilth Christ, and who to this end treasures Hi3 words in memory Is in the way of securing the things that are needful for his growth, comfort and usefulrefs. (Verse 7.) The love of Christ for His disciples is analagous in greatness, fervency and constancy to tho love which the Father has for the 8on. "A measurement great beyond all finite comprehension." (Verf.e 10.) In conclusion Jerus defines His obje.t ii speaking these words to His disciples. If la tha. His Joy may remain In them. As the fellowship of the Son with the Father gives His inn ilte light, to the conscious union of the discit ie r 1th the Master Is source of blissful content. Up to the measurement of the disciples' capiclty It can fill him with Joy. (Verse 11.) THE TEACHER'S LANTERN. First At the very moment of impending separation Jesus speaks to Ilia disciples of a union which they might maintain with Him as intimate and persistent as that which maintains between branch and vine. It was another way of saying to them, "Let not ycur heart be troubled." Second "Men are Joined to Christ, not as branches which shoot from the vine, but aa those which are grafted into it Grafts must be so Joined to tha stock aa to make a vital union. Mere mechanical union Is Insufficient. In nature good scions are grafted Into poorer stocks. In grace the poor, sinful scions are grafted Into Christ, the true and good stock." Third No one must be content with being merely grafted Into Christ. There must be the- ambition for abundant frultfulncps. Failure at this point Insures ultimate separation from CbrlFt. Fourth Jesus' word Is the rrunlng knife. "Now ye are pruned thrngh the word which I have sroken unto you.' Fifth The figure irom nature Indicates the naturalness of the believer's relation to Jesus. Here is nothing arbitrary or fictitious. He who chooses to be a disciple tieasures the Master's teachings In his heart, actualizes them in life and deed, keeps himself open to the Infinite life, will have a wholesome and fruitful life. Sixth Jesus spoke of Bis "Joy" an hour before Ills agony. That Joy was full and unimpaired, even by the shame and suffering of the cross. Inrington Presbyterians. The Rev. W. P. Kane, D.
