frain from Interfering with him In his
conduct of tho uurvlciiS. Tho costs ot

gan last sprlnff when tho pastor, Rev.
Mr. Morgans, decided to preach tho
evening sermons In tile English lan
guage. Part of the congregation and
four of the trustees wanted the Welsh

made outside th? courts to settle It, an
Injunction was finally secured to cum

nnd tho presiding ?lder, Hew Mr. (jilf
lln The plaintiffs jay the solo pur
pose of preaching English In the even
ing Is to build up the church and at
tract the young people. Attorneys D.
E. Huxtcr and P. A. O'Boyle were for
the trustees who wanted the Welsh
language and held that the church was
a Welsh church built for the Welsh
people and that the Welsh language
should lie used exclusively.
THE OPINION.
In his opinion Judge Woodward said:
Whero a religious association Is en
tered Into and becomes a part of u par
ticular sect or ecclesiastical body profess,
lng a certain doctrine and faith, It must
submit Itself to the rules and discipline
of that organization. We have before us
u digest of the law of tho Methodist Epis
copal church prepared by Ulshop S. M.
Merrill, and revised and approved by
the general conference. In reference to
tho powers of church trustees wo quote
tho following: "They (tho trustees) can
not alienate tho property of the church
so as to di'feat tho purposes for which
It was acquired. They cannot prevent
tho use of the church edlllces of the de
nomination by tho ministers appointed
under tho authority of tho church to
preach tho gospel therein, and conduct
tho public worship of God according to
the requirements ot their pastoral rela
tion. The supienio object of tho creation
of the board of trustees, and their llrst
duty Is to keep tho church in condition
to bo thus uted by the ministers regu
larly appnh.ud. Any personal or gen
eral dissatisfaction that may exist In the
congregation with any pieaclier regu
larly appointed will not authorize the
board to close tho doors against him, or
to inttrftre with him in any way in
the pcrfoimanco of his duties."
In a word tho right of tho pastor to oc
cupy the houte of worship Is secured to
him by the fundamental law of the
church, nnd if the people cannot hear him
with good conscience, they can only ab
sent themselves and withhold support,
and this Is at their own risk, until a law
ful chango Is made.
In tho present easo there Is no allega
tion that the pastor of tho church has
violated any law, civil or ecclesiastical.
Ills standing as a clergyman of tho Meth
odist Epltropal church Is unlmpcached,
utid his right to occupy the pulpit of tho
church ttf which he has been assigned
cannot b denied If he has erred In
thinking that it would tend to strengthen
and build up the church that the ser
vices on Sunday evening be conducted In
Philadelphia Zinc and Lead Mining
Capital Stock, $3,000,000 Company Par $10 Per Shan
S2.CO0.000 of tho capital stock of the Company will be placed In the Treasury,
and will be used exclusively for working cnpltnl nnd future acquisition of additional

i3 also a guarantee to the present subscribers.

This Is the eround lloor subscription price. It will soon be advance J. The properties of
the Company, the worklnB of which will be actively pushed, will Include
6,075 ACRES.
The Company does not propose to operate leased properties, but will OWN all
f 'Them" tho finest Zlno and Lead ores in Christian

T'UTEe mine" ha1lebbelenXsheneedleto this Company only after tho greatest labor
nnd skillful business management, nnd the C.073 ncres above mentioned have been
chosen out of a territory of 200.000 acres for tho quality and quantity of ore they
contain. Such an opportunity could not bo secured again and cannot be too
highly appreciated.
OTHER VALUABLE MINES ARE NOW OPENED THERE
KnKllsh. Scotch. Philadelphia, St. I.ouls and Boston syndicates havo secured
lands adjoining and in tho vicinity of this Company's mines.
Almost all tho zinc lands of other companies around Joplln nre leased, very
TOW COMPANIES OWNING LANDS IN PEE, and most of them not having
more than forty to eighty acres under lease.
The owners of tho fee derive enormous revenues from royalties from leases,
which average 22H per cent, on zinc and "7,ij per cent, on lead ores. This Company
"'Vlihf Compnny'will at once erect KXTENSIVB MILLS, which will be enlarged
from time to time as the busltifss warrants, so as to secure tho greatest return
possible. It will also receive lucrative royalties from portions of Its property
which It may not deem ndvlsable to directly work Itself. Theso royalties alone
will pay handsome dividends on the investment.

Zinc Is selling for upwards of $12.00 per ton and costs much less than J10.CO

The Increasing demand for Zinc ore give nil grades of ore a ready sale, nnd tho
demands for Zinc mining properties were never so great as now. If tho present
rate of Increase continues, the year's mineral output for tho Mlisourl-Knnsas DIs

Tho property has been thoroughly examined by Mr. A. Arnold. Geologist and
