enough to hoM a suceesful missionary niffting if speakers be provided, she s.ttd. but Fhe wanted it so that each society would iro out and find speakers for Itself, without help. That Is the kind of a spirit she wants to see. The speaker does not need to be eloquent, she said. He need only consecration. Charles J. nuehanan. State treasurer of the society, reported that he ha'l received during the year total, from all sources, of 41.323. Then Is a balance of on hand, lie said that of the 11.152 p -.edged last year for the State work, only $737 had been paid, and. except for voluntary subscriptions of the unir.n would be In very had financial condition. This ought not to be, he nail, nd th?n he urged that the unpaid pledges should be paid before Jan. 1. There, are nineteen evangelical denominations In the State Union. Last year there were 1.310 societies. To-Jay the enrollment Is i.5 societies, with a total membership of H.2CZ. The Christians lead with 478 societies. The Pfsbvterians come next with ) socletks. The Frlenls have 178 societies. finJ the Haptlsts 0. The banner district is the Twelfth, with societies, having 7.ZTL members. There are sixty-Fix union societies where the churches are not strong enough to have one to each church. The convention, on motion of Mr. Ruchanon. adopted a resolution directing the secretary to send a message of greeting to the Missouri convention, which is now in session at Hannibal. Another resolution was adopted with much spirit, authorizing the secretary to send greeting to Mrs. Hageman, and to tell her that the convention was praying for her. A song followed while more new delegates were being seated, and then a representative of the Goldei Rule .was permitted to address the convention briefly in behalf of the-official organ of the ociety. Mrs. Alice It. Coleman, of the Roston, Mass., Junior work, wan the next speaker. Fhe Is an experienced and devoted manager of such work ami talked with a pleasing directness an 1 clearness on her topic. She regarded, she said, the organization of the Junior society work &3 second only to that of . the organization of Kobert Ralkes's idea of the Sunday school one hundred years ago. She said she would speak of the need and value of the work, but found that there I an Interdependence cf ne upon the other. Tho need predlctates the value of the work. It Is needed, Fhe said. In the first pace because of the children's ake. It Influences them at a time when they are most plastic In their natures and when most pains should be taken to guide them aright. Thpy are most responsive to the every Impression, of . the day. The Junior work supplements the Christian , training nt home and Rives that training If home does not. Then the work gives the child a splendid training for future usefulness In the church. Speaking of practical methods. Mrs. Coleman said that every senior society should have a Junior society. That is the duty the united society officers is now pressing upon the senior societies. The senior, societies which have yet to organize a Junior should first seek to Interest the pastor, if he is not already interested, and then the parents of Th children then the superintendent cf the Sunday school. If a superintendent canrot be found who is altogether satisfactory, choose the bst one that can be. found and then bend all energies to making hi3 Sathway a successful one. Bring about im the conditions of success in every way and he will grow to the- needs of the tvork. The two essential qualities In the superintendent are love of Christ' and lov of children. Mrs. Coleman said the mechanism necessary for a successful Junior x:iety consists of thre committees, the prayer, the- lookout and the consecration committees. The pledge 1a lust as much the backbone of a successful society as it la in th senior society. Too great care cannot be taken that It be mad interesting and does not lapses into formalism. Mrs. Coieman conducted a free. varl Lament fcr the discussion of any problem that miqht be suested. The sense of the ten minute discussion was that the results come from holding, the Junior meetings on Sunday afternoon. Til 13 Jt .MOR 11 ALLY.

The Rink Filled with an Audience of SJTMn People. The Junior rally this afternoon filled the rink with 2,-VO people. The front of the hall was reserved for the 250 Juniors, and the little people made the most attentive and orderly part of the big audience. The meeting was in charge of Miss Hattie Wlshard. 'After prayer and scripture reading by Walter Davis, president of the Greensburg Ju2iior Vnlon. all the Junior joined in a concert recitation of the twenty-third P?alm, Including tha Lord's prayer. Then was heard a novel end .unexpected feature of the programme. The various 'distinctive eommittees which -constitute the machinery of Christian Und-cavor-organization .were 'per-. sonhled by "children trained for the part. Their preceptor was Mrs. Allyn Davis, who was ublicly given credit for It by Miss "Wishird In a complimentary reference. The "lookout" committee was represented 'by1 Grover Monfort, who furthei symbolized tho committer's function by means of a spyglass. The miniature telescope was used to Illustrate the boy's idea of the work a lookout committee should do. Ml&s Fannio Morgan, aged eleven years, represented the "prayer meeting" committee. . She Illustrated the duty of thfs committee by means of a large horse shoe magiitt. Stanton Guthrie, a lad of perhaps twelve years, ptrsoniilol the "social" committee. He wore a broad sash across his breast bearing the word "welcome." The language used was such as seemed natural to a boy. and the little folk showed much lrpreciaiion of the performance. Walter c.ioflel 1, a mite ol a boy witn a bright face ind a large head, told what the Sunday chool committee can do. He had to stand jir a. chair to be seen. Across his right shoulder was a net his committee must be lis hers of men. In his left hand was a basket in which was bait one kind being a tiny no;e cf invitation to the meetings in bide, and anotner a story paper am picture cards. Mary Uttell, a biaek-haired tot of five itars. dressed in white with blue silk mits, to.d about the flower committee, the bore lu one hand a bouquet and in the other a baske: of frait ani delicacies Jor the sick. Ma WlsharH aptly reversed her name. ' Hoy Williams next appeared, having in o::e hand a national flag and in the other a temperance pledge. His was the temperance committee, whose work was to do that which is needed to defend God, home and native land. Hallle Has's, with a lighted candle and a globe of the world, illustiitcd how the missionary committee should assist in driving away, the shadows of the world by extending the light of Christianity. Hthel Kwing, who was to represent the music committee, has diphtheria and couid iiot be present, and Mis Wishard expressed regret in making the announcement. The J.-nlor then sang "Sunthino in My Soul." Wiay Deprez. of Shelbyville, read a paper on "Helping Hands and Willing Feet." Gertrude Ix-nk h. of Cnion City, spoke on the toc, "Dumbbells vs. Cymbals in Junior fccietUs." A quartet from Jennings county, ifto boys and two girls, from elht to ten years, sang a song bo prettily that they were twice encored. Their names are Gall Can.pbvll, Mattel Sweeney, Herbert Sutter, ar.d Jesse Sprong. Frank Osier, a member of the Carll Guards, told about the boys' brigade- in Junior wcrk. Mrs. Coleman conducted a sprightly convert tlon with the Juniors, bringing out the lesson of the sunlight In Illustration of the light of Christ. Then, after a song, there was a drill by the Carll Guards. There was no room In the ball and the boys 'were put through their movements by Captain Rurris in the street, In front of the rink. A thousand people watched them. The rest of the afternoon was devoted to conferences of various subdivisions of cburrh work. It. K.

The Fo under of tle Movement Given a KojhI Reception. "Father Endeavor" Clark arrived at Z o'clock from Cincinnati. A moment later a Rayly decorate1 two-seated, open-top carriage was seen flying toward the home'of "Rev. J. W. Rrowder, who is entertaining the distinguished founder of the society. The wagon Led was hidden with the convention colors, an 1 the "Greensburg C. K." banners were Muttering from both vehicle end horses. There was no discounting the popularity of Dr. Clark, for whom the esteem amounts to vent-ration. When he entered the rink with Judge Klrkpatrick the audience Jumped t Its feet and saluted with hand-clapping and cheers. His pres. ence aroused the strongest demonst ration that has marked . the convention. He ceerr.M to b what was needed to fill the lac it of the usual numbers. A Chautauqua talute was given him as he was scaled near President Klrkpatrlck. He- looked, not over thlrty-f".ve years of se. and a man or fine l:c-)th end rplrits. l:.-. Or! xtlll preach to-morrow at the Church at 1330 o'clock, and

will b heard at th-9 rink at 20 o'clock. At nlfht ha will preach the thanksgiving and prais sermon at the rink. President Klrkpatrick selzd the opportunity to draw out a speech from Hon. James K. Watson, who was sitting in the audience. Mr. Watson was introduced as an ex-president of the Epworth League of Indiana. He sail that "Father Kndeavor" Clark, for a young man, had succeeded in gathering around him about the largest family ever credited to one man. He complimented Greensburg citizens upon the success of the convention. He congratulated the society on having achieved success In the difficult problem of putting more religion into business and more business into religion. He referred to two million Christians standing like an Alexandrian host against the giant power of evil. Christian Kndeavorers, he said, were standing for enforcement of law and he congratulated them. After a duet by Miss Kelsey and Mrs. Kling. of Kvansville. Dr. Clark was introduced. The convention again arose and greeted the founder with the Chautauqua salute. Dr. Clark said: "I thank you for th cordial greeting you have given me. I am glad once more to meet the Christian Endeavor workers of Indiana. I am glad to stand on the same platform with your president. Judge Klrkpatrick, with your secretary, with Mr. Kxrell, and with the author of the Nicholson law. (Applausa.) I bring you pood news from the rest of the country. 1 have Just come from the State convention of Connecticut, and as I passed through Middletown I saw the stores decorated Just as the stores of Greensburg are decorated, with pale blue and white. The Connectleutt Endeavorers had chosen the same colors as you. So you see there is a kinship between Kndeavorers. though, perhaps, the tie is not always demonstrated. I bring you report thrii all over the country is a spirit of greater consecration and of purer citizen-t ship. Dr. Clark referred to his trip around the world sli ce h attended the last State convention of Indiana. He said wherever he went he foucl Endeavours, who sent greetings to their American brothers. He reported that In ihe la-'t year twenty socleties had been organised in Germany, where it seemed the movement could never get a foothold. But the consecration of one young man achieved It. and the first German convention has just been held. The movement 1 spreading to the north in Denmark and "This." said Dr. Clark, "is the work' of Gol. f it Is of man. it will soon fail; but If of Gjl,.then we may believe it will go on to larger and tetter things. I was glad to hear my frtenj of the Kp worth Ieague on this plcform Just now. It shows that the people of God are coming together. The service of God is a broad platform on which all may stand. Christ appeals to the best in you. Christian Endeavorer, to put nerve and tonic in you to instill Iron into your blood. Give all you have to Christ. Keep nothing back." This address was liberally applauded. DIt. MRTYN'S -ADDRESS. Rev. Dr. Carlos Martyn, of Chicago, who is greatly Interested in good citizenship, made the stated address to-nlghti The rink wa? packed, although there were meetings In some of the churches. The theme of Dr. Martyn was "The Devil In Politics." Among other things he said: "it can never be out cf place for a Christian citizen to .speak to Christian, citizens on the duties of Christian cltirenshlp. I emphasize the word Christian, because there are certain distinctive features of our insti

tutions which, as Christians, we are specially intrusted and morally bound to wifeguard. The ethical side of political questions concern us. Moral law3, which are assailed by boodle and boodlers and those abuses which root -themselves in grog selling, gambling and harlotry. beyond all other citizens, are called on tp abaie. "This country belongs to Christianity. Columbus, when he lifted the veil of waters from the sleeping1 face of the virgin continent. Cash?d in ts face the symbol of our faith. The Pilgrims, when they landed on the stern New England coast, traced It on Plymouth Rock. The cavaliers, upon landing at Jamestown, marked it on the Vlrvlnla sands. Nay, God himself has set the cro?s on this continent. Yonder in the West stands tho Mountain of the Holy Cross, from whose dizzy summit down to the abysmal base runs a tremendous chasm, with a traverse chasm crossing it, while in these lie piled the eternal snows, making a natural cross, held up as by the hand of the Almighty m'mself. who thus seems to say: Uy this sign conquer! Our Colonial growth proceeded under Christian tutelage. Christian as presided over the birth of the Nation; Christian Jurists, like Jay and Marshall, asserted that Christianity was the fundamental law of America; and it has advertised Itself in ths thought, habits, literature and character of the American people. "Moreover, mark the power of the church. According to the census of lf'JO there are 1,000,0)0 church members in this country, in a total population of 63.000,OX; but of these 63,CtX,000 15,0K) are under ten years of agetoo young to figure in religious statistics. Counting these out, nearly half the population is already in the church. Nor is this all, for, in order to discover how many there are who are in sympathy with the churchthat is, who make up the parishes or congregations, while not in the membershipit is safe to multiply the membership by two. This would give 42,000,000 as the total church constituency out of a total population above ten years of age of 4S.0Y),0W. In all America there are- not over 6,u0u,ouO who are either un-Christlan or anti-Christian. Yet, with unparalleled stupidity, the 42.U0.000 have permitted the 6,0u0,ojO to dominate politics. 'Tls the most flagrant instance on record of the tall wagging the dog. . "When a camel Is overloaded it squats on Its legs and remains there, refusing to move, thus affording a striking illustration of our overloaded municipal governments. Mero strength is no match for strategy. Hercules was much stronger than Omphale; yet Omphale carried off Hercules just the same. What we call civilization kills the tiger only to breed the fox. "Careful study, aided by the microscope, may perhaps reveal minute differences between individual specimens of the genus politician. But such differences arc like Grationa's three grains of wheat hid in three bushels of chaff. You may look all flay till you find them, and when you do find them they are not worth the search. "If Christian citizens are to control they must organize. Hoodie is organized; liquor dealers are organized: the brothels are organized; the gamblers are organized but we pull apart. If a man wanted to fight a burgar, would he extend his arm with the fingers of his hand thrust out, and say, 'Go away, naughty burglar? How effective would such a blow be? Why, it would hurt him who gave more than him who received it. Yet we have been fighting the devil In that fashion. We have extended a Methodist finger, and a Raptist finger, and a Presbyterian finger, and a Cathoic finger and an Episcopal thumb, and said, 'Go away, naughty devil. Is it not time to clench those fingers into a fist and strike out from the shoulder and hit between the eyes? In our churches we have been singing 'The Sweet-by-and-by while the devil with a sardonic grin on his face, has been attending to the . nasty now-and-now." The IteHoIutlons. The report of John H. Johnson, chairman of the auditing committee, vspi made last night. It showed that the treasurer's report was correct. Miss Jessie McDonald, chairman of the credentials conmittee, reported 743 delegates from abroad registered, 642 from Greensburg. and H4 from Decatur outside of Greensburg i total, 1,523. The resolutions committee reported through Mr. Alen. of Jeffersonville. It was largely conventional, but commended the Nicholson law, and committed tho union against any candidate sympathetic with the liquor business. Reports of two minutes' length were made of the afternoon conferences. They were said to have manifested much energy and, enthusiasm. Monti mk Conference. At S o'clock in the morning a conference of local union officers and wo-ker3 was held at the Baptist Church. MUs Aurllla Jeffries, of Shelbvvillc, presided, submitting ten questions as to the work that can be done to make local unions a success. She said: "We tlo not want to be grand images, wax figures, signboards or sticks wearing the C. E. colors and pins, but active, live, working Kndeavorers. A local union will succeed when every member of each society keeps the whole pledge." Mrs. Wray, of Greensburg. suggested that to make the local unions a success they must have tho support and unity of tho churches. A delegate suggested where there was a lack of interest take them to an Kndeavor convention or hold a local union every, three months, have short speeches, and the effect will be one of much enthusiasm. At a district conference held at the First M. E. Church nt 8 o'clock, conducted by Mrs. Frances Raymond, it was. reported there were twenty-one districts in the Stat. all organized and oo-cperatlng with the State secretary, and that reports were made twice each year spring and fall. Corresponding secretaries should be selected, it was suggested, not from position or policy, but from consecration. The proper way to ralfo money is by a free-will offering. One secretary reported he had paid the expenses himself. Convention ote. The Review, a weekly, publljhed by A. M. Wllloiignoy, cutne.uui .o-.;u wan tw.-niy-four pages fn a ' blazer" cover of the C. K. colors of pale blue and white. It is illustrated with the portraits in. half toae of the

officers of the local committees and of the State Union, and of the speakers of the convention. The rfading matter contains interesting, well-written accounts of the convention and of the Endeavor movement In the county.The other local papers, notably the New Era, have accredited themselves.

Mt'XCIi: IS PLEASED. It Will lie Alilc to Handle the Next Convention. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. MUN'CIE, Ind.. Oct. 25. Much pleasure was caused by the receipt of the news from, Greensburg th!3 afternoon that this city had been chosen as the next place of meeting for the ytate Y. r. S. C. E. convention. The delegation was well organized long before the meeting and went to the capital of Decatur county confident of winning, but Just a little bit afraid of Logansport. The delegates can rest assured, Muncle claims, that they Will be well cared for, as this city has learned the art of entertaining big crowds since the national Dunkard meeting and the State G. A. It. encampment. It ia probable that the new Wysor Grand Open House, the finest theater in the State, will be used for the meeting. About eighteen hundred people can be seated in the building, and within a radius of two squares either way from the theater are the Presbyterian. High-street Methodist, First Christian and First Raptist Churches, all handsome new structures, with a total seating capacity of over six thousand. The railroad facilities are good also. AFFAIRS OF THE RAILWAYS. Western Roads Think Their Passenger Agreement Im In Shape. CHICAGO, Oct. 2C. Tho roads of the Western Passenger Association now declare that the reorganization of the association is a practically established fact, although they admit that there are differences which may operate to knock the agreement into a cocked hat. The chief of these is the doubt as to whether the transmissouri lines will fall Into the. plan and if they do not, the whole affair will go by the board. The Atchison has declared repeatedly that it will Join nothing that loes not comprehend the territory west of tho river as well aa that east. If only the difficulties surrounding the business at Colorado common points can be got around, there will be no troublo in putting the association into active operation at once. It is said fry the optimists that both the Union Pacific and the Denver & Rio Grande have signalized their willingness to come into the association and after that there is nothing more to be said. However, the lines have been as near as this to an agreement before and missed it entirely. Rockefeller' Alleged Scheme. MILWAUKEE, Wis., Oct.. 2C It is reported that John D. Rockefeller, the Standard oil man and. multi-millionaire, is backing the plan of reorganization of the Wisconsin Central lines, in the hope of ultimately securing full control of the property. If his plans carry he will furnish the necessary money to -put the lines in excellent shape and on a basis where it will be able to successfully compete for not only the through traffic betwen tt. J'aul and Chicago, but also for Eastern tralfic. There are several good reasons, it is stated, why Rockefeller is anxious to secure the Central property, lie Is the owner of Mesaba range properties and ho owns the railroad which runs through the range and which ho is about to extend to West Superior. With tne Central's ferries across Lake Michigan ani its connections with Chicago, it would give him the means necessary to send his ore to all parts of the world, together with the finished product which he would like to manufacture. . American Looomotlvea for RomIs. PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 2C.-U was stated in shipping circles to-day that the operators of the transcontinental railroad, now in course of construction from the Pdack Sea across to Vladivostok, had placed a large order here for locomotives for service on that road, and that the British whaleback steamship Turret Hell had been chartered to lead the first, enrgo here In December. The Turret Rcll will take a full cargo of theso locomotives to 'Russia, and this shipment will b followed by others equally large. The Turret Reil at present is engaged In the coal trade between Sydney and Montreal. The transcontinental railroad, when completed, will be one of the largest corporations in existence, ani lis tracks will extend over l,Zi0 miles of territory, the greater portion of which has already been completed. Fn m t Time to the South. CHICAGO. Oct. 26.-The Chicago & Eastern Illinois is about to cut the time between Chicago and the South.

The train will leave this city dally at 3:C2 p. m. and run solid through to Nashville, arriving there at 7:10 the next morning and making connection with the fast train over tlie Nashville, Chattanooga & St. Louis, arriving at Atlanta at 5 p. m. This makes the time from Chicago to Atanta twenty-three hours and fifty-eight minutes, the fastest ever maintained on a regular schedule between the two points. Returning, the train will leave Atlanta at 10 a. m., arriving at Chicago at 10:13 the next morning. Chun pr" on the Mobile & Ohio Rond. MEMPHIS, Tenn., Oct. K. There Is a rumor in railroad circles, which seems to have some foundation in fact, that President James C. Clarke, of the Mobile & Ohio railroad, will shortly succeed General Manager B. F. Yoeum. of the Gulf, Colorado & Santa Fe road. President Clarke, so the story goes, will be succeeded by J. G. Mann, present general manager of the M. & O. railway, while J. S. Clark and H. W. Clarke, division superiritendents of the M. & O., and relatives of the preslJent, will go with the latter to the Western road. AKent Robinson Resigns. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. CRAWFORDSVILLE. Ind., Oct. 26. George E. Robinson, Rig Four agent here, has resigned, and will be succeeded by W. S. Lucas, of Muncle. Ind. Mr. Robinson has been connected with the road here for twenty-six years and Is a wide-awake man. Konnn Succeed Peck. GALVESTON, Tex.. Oct. S5.-E. D.

NEW WHISKY TRUST

IT CONTROLS US IKIl CUM. TIIK TOTAL PRO DI CTION OP SPIRITS. Gignutic Combination in Which Nearly AH the DlHtillrrien of the Conntrly Are Interested. NBW YORK, Oct. 27. A morning paper say 8 that the final steps In the consummation of a gigantic combination of all the Important distilleries, in the country were taken to-day. - Another 'large company entered the combination, giving Into the hands of one set of men the control of 95 Instead of 90 per cent, of the total production of spirits and cattle feeding products in the United States. The agreement goes into effect immediately and is signed by the following companies: The American Spirits Manufacturing, commonly called "The Whisky Trust; the American Dis tributing, the American Distilling, the At las, Globe and Mutual companies. The agreement runs for eight months, which comprises the whisky season. The absolute control of the production, price and distribution is pjacejd, ;)t'the hands of a controlling board, known - aa the executive committee. Each Interest is represented in this commltteo and its dictates are to be final without appeal. Tho amount of output of each distillery will bo determined by the committee. It will also tlx the price at which the spirits shall De placed on the market. The American Distributing Company will take charge of the Eastern territory, a new distributing company will take charge of the Western territory- This companyis now in process of organization, and will be owned and controlled by the American Spirits Manufacturing Company. There will be no rate-cutting and no rebating. The price ofthe spirits will be placed at 1 to Hi cents per gallon above the cost of manufacture, exclusive of the price of slops, and will be based on the price of No. 2 cash corn at Chicago. After the final price is fixed, in accordance with the conditions of tho agreement, it will be advanced or reduced with each fluctuation of 5 cents per bushel In corn. The capacity of the associated distillers Is estimated at 100.000 to 110.000 bushels of con.x per day, while the consumptive demand is from 3"j.W0 to 43,000 bushels per day The output of each distillery will be fixed at 33 to 40 per cent, of Its total capacity. in accordance w 1th the percentage allotted to each company. The American Spirits Manufacturing Company receives an allot ment of 72 per cent., but on the other hand gives up to the America Distributing Company, which controls directly or indirectly the majority of the outside distilleries, the exclusive right to place the product in the 'Eastern market. The Whisky Trust, however, retains for itself the profits to be derived from handllns the product in the West. OBITUARY. Samuel Josephs,' "Author of 'Grorer, Grover, Four Years More of Grover.

Of the?e 7,841, or Just over one-half, belong to the three regiments of household cavalry and fhe cavalry regiments of the line; 4.415 are accounted for by the royal artillery, while the remainder are distributed among the .royal engineers, army sendee corps, mounted infantry and infantry transport establishment. - , J The huce herd represents a capital value of about $3,ttK),0i.)0, 'taking1 the rate at a little over $200 per head,' ''and. as many horses last, on an average, aoout ten years, the stock has to be renewed at the rate of 10 per cent, annually. Thus, it 13 estimated that during the current year 1.4S0 new horses will be required in order to keep up the full strength. Tho prices paid vary considerably, according to the particular branch of the service for which Jie , animals. are intended. For instance, whila the kavalry of the line can be provided with horses at l-JO each, a mount for a trooper of the Royal Horse Guards or the . Life Guards costs no lss than DO guineas. This higher price is due to the fact that the latter animal must possess special qualifications. He must be big and strong, and able to carry a weighty kuard?man heavily equipped; furthermore, the color must be blacK. and this is a con dition which considerably limits the field of choice. Two prevailing colors of army horses, it may be remarked, are brown and bays;, there are 'chestnuts In the artillery. gray must be provided xor me ccois urays, and a few odd piebalds for cavalry drum mers. Horses for the rovar artillery, royal en gineers and army service corps etch $223 a piece; animals 'for infantry transport service can be bought kbfl (3 each, and the total cost of the 1.4S0 femonnts is put down at $319,725. giving a grand average of a trifle over J213. , ' The year's iitll also 'Includes tto,w paid In the way of subsidy, at the rate of J2."K) per heai annually, to the owners of H.OOO horses In order that they may. be at the Immediate d ty?al of the jrovernmeni in caso or anv sudden emergency: is swallowed in ex penses prior; to "Joining;" sixty-nine mules, to be usM lit cblonlal transport -work, and costing M.C; must also be reckoned, and wo pave iiivji si .ividi .ci xk'.u i ii'in nun, however. we rawt deduct a sum of ?67.!m, to be realised t,h ae sale of the year's cast" or wrr's-out.' anlmaK and the net charge for "new.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct., 26.-The Examiner says that the contents of the mysterious letter which was to be opened in case Theodore Durrant is convicted arc known. In this letter, it is said, Durrant makes the statement that he saw the last detail of the murder and saw Rev. J. George Gibson and another man prominent in church affairs bcndlug over the body of Blanche Lamont. The Examiner says that although Durrant repuested the lawyers not to open the letter until he was convicted or acquitted, they have opened it, and so remarkable were the statements it contained that even they did not believe them and refrained from using them in Durrant's defense. The noted case will probably go to the Jury next Friday. . Attorney Dickinson, for the defense, has said he will conclude on Tuesday morning, to which day the case has been continued, and attorney Duprey also will probably finish for Durrant on Tuesday afternoon. District Attorney Rarnes expects to begin his argument on Wednesday morning, and to complete his closing address the same day. Judge Murphy's charge will be long and exhaustive, and its delivery may occupy a day. Tho exhibits are numerous, and in the case, of some will require much study on the part of the Jury. This is particularly true of the com. parison of tho notes of Durrant and those made by student Glazer, with whom Durrant quizzed. It is understood that the district attorney will parallel the two sets of notes and argue, that Durrant's could not be so much like Glazer's without having been copied verbatim. The district attorney win, it is -said, also attack tho roll call, and will call attention to the error In making student Gavin present when he was, In fact, absent. The Jury will be asked to Judge for itself as to the alleged similarity between the handwriting of Rev. J. George t Gibson and that on the package inclosing Rlanche Lamont's lings. .The defense abandoned its intention of placing experts on the stand to endeavor to show this alleged similarity. Forfciive Ills Trnunt Spouse. OAKLAND. Cal., Oct. 26.Philip Rogers, whose wife deserted him and went to Warsaw, Wis., because he would not read to her the full testimony in the Durrant case, has forgiven his truant spouse. A telegram -from Warsaw announces that Mrs. Rogers and her sister, Mrs. Clark, have disappeared from there also, and that Mrs. Rogers is coming home, bringing her sister with her. "Now tuat the testimony in the Durrant case is all in, I guess we can have peace in our family," said Mr. Rogers. HOW ALREMVRLi; WAS RLOWX LP.

Cnlilns,s.Darlutf Attack on the Rebel Hum. Theodore Roosevelt, in St. Nicholas. On the night of Oct. 27, 1864, Cushlng slipped away from the blockading fleet and steamed up the river toward the wharf, a dozen miles distant, where the great ram lay. The Confederates were watchful to guard against surprise, for they feared lest their foes should try to destroy the ram before she got a chance to come down and attack them again In the sound. She lay under the guns of a fort, with a regiment of troops ready at a moment's notice to turn out and defend her. Her own guns were kept always clear for action, and ?he was protected by a great boom of logs thrown out roundabout, of which last defense the federals knew nothing. Cuahing went up stream with the utmost caution, and by good' luck passed, unnoticed, a Confederate lookout below the ram. About midnight he made his assault. Steaming quietly on through the black water, and feeling his way cautiously toward where he knew the town to be, he fizally mnde out the loom of the Albemarle through the night, and at once drove at ner. He was almost upon her before he was discovered; then the crew and the soldiers on the wharf opened fire, and at the same moment he was brought to by the boom, the existence of which he had not known. The ride balls were singing about him a he stood erect guiding his launch, and he heard the bustle of the men aboard the ram. and the noise of the great guus as they were got reaJy. Hacking off, he again went all steam ahead, and actually surged over the slippery log of the boom. Meanwhile, on the dck of the Albemarle the sailors were running to quarters, and the soldiers were swarming down to aid in her defense. And the droning bullets eame always thicker through the dark night. Cushing still stood upright in his little craft, guiding and controlling her by voice and signal, while in his hands he kept the rope3 which led to the torpedo. As the boat slid forward over the boom, he brought the torpedo full against the somber side of the huge ram. and instantly exploded it, almost at the same time that the pivot gun of the ram, loadHl with grape, was tired point .blank at him, not ten yards off. At once the ram settled, the launch sinking at the same moment, while Cushlng and his men swam for their lives. Most of them sank or were. captured; but Cushlng reached midstream. Hearing something splashing In the darkness he swam toward It, and found that it was one of his crew. He went to his rescue, and they kept together for some time, but the sailor's strength gave out, and he finally sank. In the pitch darkness Cushlng could form no idea where he was; and when, chilled through, and too exhausted to rise to his feet, he finally reached shore, shortly before dawn, be found that he had swam1 back, and landed but a few hundred feet below the sunken ram. All that day he remained within easy musket shot of where his foes were swarming about the fort and the great drowned ironclad. He hardly dared move, and until the afternoon he Hy without food and without protection from the heat or insects. Then he managed to slip unobserved into a dense swamp, and began to make his way toward the fleet. Toward evening he came out on a small stream near a camp or Confederate soldiers. They had moored to the bank a small skiff, and with equal stealth and daring he managed to steal this, and began to paddle down stream. Hour after hour he paddled on through the fading light, and then through the darkness. At last, utterly worn out, he found tho squadron and was picked up. mcn.isii woman doctors. Tlielr Path Is Made Qnlte nn Kasy a Thnt of Mnle Physicians. The woman physician finds her path no longer thorny in England. Mr. Garrett Anderson, M. D., has been writing for the British Journal on the status and quallficatlors of women practitioners, and she shows that their hardest days are over. Her first statement Is that It as easy at this moment for a woman to get a complete medical education In Great Irita:n as It is for a man, the course of education and the necessary expenditure being practlcaily the same in both cases; the same examinations murt be passed and the same qualllicatlons and diplomas must be obtained by individuals of either sex. Some of the examining bodies, such as the Royal College of Surgeons in England, do not admit women to examination, but even with them there is nrt direct opposition, and hours are set apart at the museum of the college solely for the convenience oi women sniucnis. ine degrees of the Universities of London, Durham. Ireland. Edinburgh, Glasgow and sr. Andrews, and the. medical colleges of Edinhnreh. Glasgow and Ireland, and the license of Apothecaries Hall are all now open to women, who are prepared for examination In many medical schools, some of which are open for women only, and some for men and women together. The schools for women are those of London. Edinburgh, Glasgow, and there are mixed srnnois in lrcittim mm uiib iii .rwiiisiic, The course of education is laid down by the examining bodies, and therefore must of necessity be the same in all schools. though more completely earned out in some thnn In others. A very considerable num ber of women have passed their qualify ing examinations ana oDtatned decrees, or the? unward of fifty are now practicing in Ixmdon. and several medical charities are worked entirely Dy tneir aid. Mrs. Anderson speaks strongly of the reciutrements of the woman who wishes to practice meaicine. one insists inai an these are necessary: a vigorous, neaitny constitution, with no tendency to bodily or mental disease or weakness of any kind.. a determination to spend five years in arduous study, a sufficient amint of capital to support the student during that period and pay for the expensive education and surplus enough for maintenance during the es tablishment or a practice.

ment of this city. Wt this morning for Philadelphia, to attend the trial of II. II. Holmes aa wltneayes. When Holmes was arretted here on a swindling charRe- he was closely examined by deputy Hanscom. Miss Robbins took down hta statements, and these statements will be Introduced as evidence at the trlaj, FAMOUS FOR HIS IIO.VOR. Maurice Dure "Would ot De Tempted liy $ 100,000. San Francisco Exam'ner. Maurice Dore. real-ertate agent, died yesterday at his home, 1015 Jones street. He was the soul of honor and few. men of tho days of '40 have been so conspicuous as he is In this one respect. The most striking Illustration of his honor Is a part of the history of the State. After the failure of the Hank of California on Aug. 25, 1875, and the pulcide of William C. Ralston, little or no trace could be found of the large private fortune of the man who had done so much for this State and vhose memory 1r beloved to this day. Then Maurice Dore came forward voluntarily and saM: "I have In my rame about $400,OC -worth of property belonsjinsr to Mr. Ralston. Though there were no papers signed between us. the property was his." It was Ralston's habit to trust his friends Just as he had trusted Maurice Dore and it Is certain that to many the president of tne Hank of California thus turned over large portions of his private fortune. Of these confidants cf the millionaire, but one was worthy of the trust, but one came forward, and that was Maurice Pore. No one but he knew that Ralston had placed the property In hi. nam. No one would ever or cou'd ever have been anv the wiser if Maurice "Dore h?d not himself came forward and said that the property belonged to Ralston. Mr. Dore was not a poor man even in those days, though h? was not a millionaire by any means. The quiet, unostentatious manner in which Dore resigned the J4CO.00O worth of property staggered people, and to this day his name is not mentioned without the story being recalled, lie earned his reputation as an honest man. and few men have ever raid so hlnh h price for the satisfaction of knowing that he was honest for no on would ever have known that he was not if he had held the i'j(m worth cf property. Maurice Pore was born near Limerick, In Irfland, in 1S3 and rame to California by way cf Australia in 1S49. He landed in tan Francisco and soon after nter-d tl e liquor business, which he followed for about twenty years. Since 1SC9 he haa been a real estate dealer and auctioneer. It was this latter occupation that Mr. Dore met and won the esteem of Ralston. Always a tempera to man. of modest tastes, he acquired a comfortable fortune, and though at one time he was beset by flnsnHal troubles. h weathered them urcefully, and at his death, was in cood circumstances.
