IVOULD GIVE UP

PLACE AS CLERK Timothy Nicholson Thinks Friends Should Choose Younger Man for Place. HE IS NOW 77 YEARS OLD FIVE YEARS MEETING WILL BE HELD HERE NEXT YEAR PIANO TAKEN AWAY FROM FRIENDS' CHURCH. " If the wishes of Timothy Nrcholson now presiding clerk of the Indiana Yearly Meeting of Friends, are listened to, he will not be named again for the office but at the session of the Yearly Meeting which convenes here next week a younger man will be chosent Mr. Nicholson will be seventy eight years old in six weeks and he feels that he should be relieved of the duties of the office and men of less years should be elected. Mr. Nicholson was named clerk without any solicitation on his part and there Is no desire of the members of the Yearly Meeting to replace him. In spite of his years Mr. Nicholson is very active and has disposed of the great volume of work connected with the office in a most satisfactory manner, i Five Years' Meeting in 1907. At the Meeting this year delegates will be elected to the Five Years' Meeting to be held in RichmorAl in 1907. This gathering is the most Important meeting held by the Friends of America. It corresponds to - the general synod of assembly of other denominations. As it will be delegates .from eleven Yearly .Meetings. Two of the thirteen Yearly Meetings In this country are not united kwith the Five Years' Meeting but It is thought they will join the fold next year. The two now on the outside are a Meeting in Ohio and one in Canada. A membership of nearly one hundred and fifty thousand will be represented at the Meeting next year. Important, matters concerning the conduct of the church will be brought up at that time. The Five Year Meeting was held in Indianapolis in 1902. This is the first time it has ever been held in Richmond. The impression is general among non members of the East Main Street Friends' church, where the Yearly Meeting is held, that a piano is now in use at the church and that it will be used at Yearly Meeting. This is an innovation that the Quakers have not adopted, and the piano - which has been at the church for open air meetings during the summer, has been taken back to the factory., Timothy Nicholson, who is in position to speak the sense of the Yearly Meeting is much opposed to a piano for church worship. He feels that it tends to drown the sound of the singing. He. does not think that a congregation can put volume and spiritual expression in their song service when a large organ or piano Is used. He says that the Friends at his church sing the best in their devotional exercises that he has ever heard. He believes that . therf is a necessity of having a small musical instrument to help the leader in carrying his air but nothing more. TO'BE STOCK INSPECTOR L. C. Harmeier Resigns Position as Teacher in. Union County to go to Indianapolis. L. C. Harmeir of Kitchell's Station, has resigned his position " as school teacher in Harrison Township, Union County, to accept a position as United States stock inspector, at the packing plant of Kingan and Co., at Indianapolis. He will move his family in the near future. CASE IS SET FOR OCT. 17 Suit of William Bennett vs. C. C. & l. to be Tried at Winchester Asks $20,000 The case of William Bennett vs. the C.

GREAT CANVASS OF THE CITY TAKES PLACE TOMORROW AFTERNOON.

The following statement to the public was issued yesterday by the Sunday School Association: You have no doubt already learned through the columns of the daily papers that the churches of our city, are about to attempt a city house-to-house canvass in the interest of the Sunday School, Chtirch and Y. Mi C. A. work. , . , About 400 of our people have kindly consented to give up, for, a few hours, the care of their homes and their business duties and devote their valuable time to this work. While this will mean an.approximation of eight thousand calls upon the people of Richmond, yet we hope there will not be any great annoyance, and that the people will receive this 'army of workers willingly and give them the few items of information which they seek. -Some times in work of this kind visitors are refused admittance, but we trust in this instance the public will be indulgent and will not turn anybody away. This work is not a new thing for many other cities have been similarly canvassed to bring about the same results. " Philadelphia recently had a house-to-house canvass and in a few hours over one million two hurdred thousand people were reached and many useful and valuable items of information were obtained. Iowa has even gone farther than this and a few years ago made a house-to house canvass which covered the entire state. The Richmond canvass will be made tomorrow afternoon from two to six o'clock. At 2 o'clock the church bells in the city will begin to ring and will continue for five minutes. We do not ask the people to remain at home in order to answer the questions of the canvasser, but in case some one should be present to give the desired information it will be very much appreciated. The questions which will be asked will be as follows: - , 1. Name and residence. 2. Number in the family. 3. Number attending Sunday School. , 4. Number under twenty-one years of age. 5. ' Number of young men between 12 and 35 years of age. I 6. Church membership or church preference. Or those with no preference. ' . 7. Those having church membership elsewhere. There are twenty-seven church organizations in Richmond and all are Interested in the work of this canvass. We trust that this letter to the public will in a measure prepare the way for the work of the canvasser on next Thursday afternoon. Respectfully, g , W. A. FISKE, City Chairman.

He. dictated the following statement: "If Mr. Sullivan made the state ment attributed to him he has exhibited a reckless disregard for the truth which renders him even less fit for membership on the Democratic national committee than any circumstance which Mr. Bryan has yet men tioned against him. "The Standard Oil Company has no more interest in or connection with the .Tennessee properties fr which I am the attorney than Mr. Sullivan or the Czar of Russia. "I am not required to explain my professional employment in answer to such contemptible statements- as that made by Mr. Sullivan.

ROAD DESTROYED BY INSURGENTS

Bridges Torn Down and Other Property of Cuban Western is Wrecked. . CRUISER- DIXIE ARRIVES LACK OF EFFORT TO SECURE PEACE IS NOTICEABLE AT HAVANA TAFT AND HIS. PARTY SET SAIL. Havana, Sept. 18. Since the return of the military trains the rebels are again destroying property of the Cuban Western railroad, a British enterprise. The important bridge near Los Palacios has again been destroyed, another bridge at Santa Cruz, near Taco Taco, and smaller bridges in that dis trict likewise, have been wrecked. Trainsrun only as far as Artefniza, and there is no telegraphic communication beyond that point. . Government forces 2,000 strong, under command of Colonel Betancourt, are concentrating at Matanzas,"'and it is reported that, they expect orders to march toward Havana.' . The cruiser Dixie arrived at Cienfuegos, Cuba, with 300 marines on board, to assist the Marietta in protecting American plantations there. Her commander makes no report of further disturbances. A lack of concrete effort to secure peace is noticeable. Several peacs committees that intended to leave for various rebel centers did not start on account of the unsatisfactory attitude of the government. Popular opinion is now supporting the efforts, of the veterans. Up to the present-time the efforts of the government towards peace have been questioned, but now supporters of the government are with the veterans. Mr. Sleeper, the American charge, sent a cablegram to Washington requesting instructions concerning the letter sent to him byv General Loyna Z. Del Castillo, the commander of the insurgents in Havana province. Alfredo'. Zayas, president of the Liberal party, states that Colonel Avalos, with 200 mounted men, attacked a rebel force under Pino Guerro near Los Palacios, in Pinar Del Rio province. The rebels had one man killed and two wounded. The government soldiers had 18 killed and 30 injured. Likely to Be Quiet. Washington, Sept. 18. In the view of state department officials the situation in Cuba is likely to be particularly quiet during the sojourn of Secretary Taft and Assistant Secretary Bacon on the island. It is quite evident that both, the government and the insurgents will do their utmost to impress favorably the American officials. Through both official and unofficial channels the way has been paved for a cordial reception in Cuba of Secretary Taft and Mr. Bacon, and it is regarded as probable that every facility will be afforded them to get results that will be immediate and beneficent. . Changes In Cuban Cabinet. Washington, Sept. 18. The Cuban legation received a cablegram from the Havana government announcing that Senor Havia, the director of the state department of Cuba, has resigned, that his resignation has been accepted, and that Pedro Diago, the director of the department of justice, has been appointed to succeed Mr. Hevia. The appointment of a successor to Mr. Diago as director of the department cf justice is not announced.Mr. Diago has been an official of the Cuban government for eight years. Taft Sails For Havana. Tampa. Fla., Sept. IS. The Taft party, arriving two and a half hours late, boarded the government tug Pickering at Port Tampa and proceeded to the cruiser Des Moines, which awaited the party at ' quarantine and the entry to Tampa bay. The cruiser sailed immediately for Havana.
