Little champ Is a source of Joy and amusement to all with whom he becomes acquainted, and there are not many people in the big capitol building, on the Bouse side, from Speaker Reed down to laborers who scrub the floors after every one else goes home, with whom be has not already become acquainted. "What's the number of daddy's box?" he shouted, as he rushed Into the House postomce the other day. "Who's your daddy V asked the clerk at the window. "Oh, you know well enough," said lit. tie Champ, with a contemptuous wave of his hand. "I introduced myself to you the other day. The place where little Champ delights to go is the House stationery room. The rows of pearl-handled knives, the silver uppeoj pentais, tne ruDoer oanas, tne bottles of paste, mad the piles of paper and boxe of envelopes are source of amusement to the little lad, and the clerks- encoarage his visits, for bright sayings are ever bubbling from his fresh tips.

IAN MACI.AJIBN8 THEOLOGY. A Trlaagular Fight Crows Out of It Th Novelist Isn't Getting Hart. London Oable to the New Tork 8 an, 7th. At a meeting to-day of the Durham Presbytery, to arrange for the impend ing meeting of the Synod there, the Rev. J. Middlemass, of Sunderland, re marked that Dr. Kennedy Moore had laid upon the table of the Synod a pe tition charging the Rev. John Watson (Ian Maclaren), the well-known novel ist, with defective. If not erroneous, views. Dr. Moore's pamphlet promulgating the charge had been sent to every min ister in the Presbytery. A letter had, however, been printed in the magazine. the Presbyterian, in which the modera tor. Dr. Balgarnie, contended that Dr. Moore's views were unsound, and might similarly be described as de fective. If not erroneous. Mr. Middlemass suggested that the moderator also table a petition regard. ing Dr. Moore. He added that the spec tacle of three doctors of divinity en gaged in a triangular combat might. perhaps, be edifying, but anyhow it let the world see how they loved one an other and what they regarded as of su preme vital importance in church life. He was sure if Dr. Balgarnie charged Dr. Moore with holding defective, if not erroneous views of Mr. Watson's teaching, he would have the whole Presbytery at Durham at his back. The Government la too "Show Business. " Hon. J. Sterling Morton in the April Forum. Among a multitude of those methods for getting money out of the United States Treasury for personal purposes which have succeeded best in recent years, none has been more adroitly worked than the Exposition. It was naugurated at Philadelphia to cele brate the Centennial Anniversary of this republic. In 1876. This first exposi tion appropriated for from the public Treasury was the beginning of a series of shows to be viewed and enjoyed by few tax-payers at the expense of all the tax-payers of the United States. The annexed tabulated statement tells how much success in a financial way the "show business" as a function of the government has achieved. In the beginning of its career even the Phlla- deiphians and other personally Inter ested patriots dared to propose only a loan from the general government, and no man declared for an out-an-out do nation. The idea of a continuous like of "Mrs. Jarley's wax Aggers" at gov ernmental cost did not then exist, any more than the Idea of stopping appro priations for such purposes exists now. Where will promotion. establish ment, and maintenance of exhibitions and expositions by the government cease? Wher is the line to be drawn? What rights to run shows at the Fed eral expenses here at Philadelphia, New Orleans, Chicago, Atlanta, Nash ville, or Omaha, that do not belong equally to Pittsburg, New Tork. Chie- opee, Atlantic City, Louisville, Kala mazoo, Oshkosfa, Niagara Falls or any other American town? Caele Jom Caaaea As a Cyclist. Washington Post.

'Uncle Joe" wouldn't miss riding to and from the capltol on his wheel on one of these bright days for a good deal- He hasn't yet taken to golf trousers with long stockings -turned over at the top, but he has a way of fastening his trousers about us -ankles so that, tney won't get tangled up In the chains, that looks for all the world as If he bad tucked them la his boot leg; Just prior to starting out to plow a ten-acre lot.

Virginia, the birth place of Thomas Jefferson,' should be. William J. Bryan believe.- a national reservation and memorial of the amat Democratic President. The recent can didate for the Preside acy has set his heart upon this project and is going to advocate It with all his chtracteristic energy. Mr. Bryan will put forth his Ideas on the subject next - Thursday Dei ore league of Democratic clubs. He i will advocate that Congress make aa ap propriation for the. purchase : of the property and the maintalnanoe there of, and should this project fail through, then the Democrats of the country subscribe a sum of money for the same purpose. But there is this sUght drawback to Mr. uryan's Hopes the - property Is owned by Mr. Jefferson - M. Lew. of this city, who takes so great a family pride In It that he does not care to part with it tor any amount of money. Mr. Bryan is hopeful, however. . and will push his entreaties and negotiations. Mr. Bryan wrote to Mr. Levy last Sat. urday asking; him to name the selling price or tne Monuceui property and briefly outlining the great project he had for- a national - memorial. Mr. Bryan believed that private interests. no matter how laudable, ought to give way to puduc reauirementa. - He fur thermore believed that It would redound to Mr. Levy's honor to have the na tion to take hold of the birthplace of the distinguished President- Mr. Ijcvy yesterday sent a courteous I reply to Mr. Bryan, to Washington, and duplicate of it to lXncoln. Neb. The gist of his answer was that not all the money in the United States Treasury would Induce him to part with it. This is not the first time Mr. Levy has been approached on the same subject- fie has refused large sums of money for Montlcello. Mr. Bryan knows this, but hopes that if the project is taken up by the nation, the owner may change his mind.- Mr. Levy told me yesterday that were it not for his famtly, which took bold of it soon after Mr. Jeffer son's death, in 1826, there would be no Jefferson home to negotiate for. The Levys have preserved it and main tained it, and have done better than the government could do. "The prop erty consists of 740 acres, said Mr. Levy, "all laid out in a park. Serpen tine roads wind in and out of the park for 20 miles. There is no restriction on the public the park is open to them at all times. When I am there visitors are admitted to the house, and when I am away my card is a sufficient pass port." The Montlcello mansion is known as one of the most famous homes of great men, both in this country and abroad. After the death of Jefferson it passed into the hands of an ardent admirer of his "Commodore Uriah P. Levy, of the United states Navy. Me and his mother made it their home. In 1834 Commodore Levy presented to the United States the collosal bronze statue of Jefferson by David de An- Jours, now in the Capitol. He fought on the side or tne union. When his nephew, Jefferson M. Levy, became of age. he repaired and restored the old home to its former glory and grandeur after it had been closed up for some fifteen years. Everything Is retained in the house in the same style as of the time of Jefferson. Mr. Levy has collected from abroad objects of art and has replaced the lost articles of furniture as near to the style of former years aa possible. The great statesman is buried in the woodland, some fifteen hundred yards from the house. A plain, granite shaft marks his grave, and a high iron railing sur rounds the graveyard. SOCRCK OF THE BOXNTGVN BAT. Tesla Says Ho Is at Work on Important Bxperlments. At the fourt annual reception and ex hibition of the New Tork Academy of Sciences, in the American Museum of Natural History, New Tork. on Tuesday mght, Nicola lesla spoke about some of his recent experiments. The most important part of Dr. Tes ta's address, which was on "Streams of Lenard and Roentgen, With Novel Apparatus for Their Protection," was an announcement that he had discover ed a new source of the Roentgen ray. "This new source of the Roentgen ray," a New Tork newspaper quotes Dr. Tesla as saying, "I discovered re cently. An electric arc is the source. That Is a simple was of putting It. In my experiments I found that the arc gave a wonderful light, which sur prised and delighted me. My experi ment Is to be developed, but I have found enough to satisfy me of the new source." , Dr. Tesla then described that when the arc went to the cathode there was a strong light, but it was when it went to the anode that the wonderful re sults were obtained. The speaker said that he had worked with a platinum cathode and an aluminum anode. "I cannot say anything more about this experiment at the present time," continued he, "but I think that- in the future the results will be satisfactory tn every way." A Wheel With in a Wheal. Soartanburg, 8. C, Herald. The retirement of Evan P. Howell, of the Constitution coming without a word of warning was like a thunder clap from a clear sky. But time win show that there was a meaning in it. The return of Hugh Inman to Atlanta from New Tork. the quarrel in the Constitution household, the purchase of control by the Inmans, all mean some thing, and we don't mind predicting that it means that the Constitution has been bought by the money power, the gold standard advocates, and while the change from right to wrong will prob ably be gradual, it will in time be com plete. Just keep your eye on the Con stitution! It was recognized as the most powerful silver advocate in the country under Howell and .that is why he was given $100,000 for one-fourth in- terest. If our view is correct, Clark Howell will be forced out of the editor ship shortly and by that time the new association which the New Tork Sun is arranging will be ready to supply dis patches to another paper in Atlanta and the force of the "Evening Constitu tion will get together with the Howells and start a free silver paper in Atlanta that the Inmans cannot buy.

Large spot sales at higher prices encouraged the bulls. Liverpool this morning cabled an advance of one sixty-fourth there and our market opened about -three points higher In sympathy. Europe and the South sent large or ders to sell the next crop, shortly after the opening, and prices declined several points: but the weatner conditions in the South continue favorable, and when these selling orders had been filled the market had a good rally.' Part of the advance was lost on realising sales. May opened at 7.08, declined to 7.05. ad vanced to 7.12 and closed at 7.09, with the tone quiet. Considering the present planting outlook, we regard short sales as anything but a prudent venture. . KWAUAN at JJ. Anlmatod B siaeason tb Stock Ksehange, But the Proportion Not Largo. By Associated Press. New Tork, April 9. Compared with the trading on some days this week, there was considerable animation to business on the stock exchange to-day. The market has by no means attain ed large proportions, yet nearly half the sales to-day were of Sugar and Chicago Gas. and the Grangers and Coalers took a large part of the remaining half. The market opened with quite a marked improvement, and as prices worked up ward there was a broadening interest in the scope of buying, but an unfavorable Influence developed and induced traders to take their profits. The bond market maintained a fairly good tone, although some heaviness developed in few active issues. The sales were 1988,000.
