As shown above, $16.75 has already been subscribed. This is not as much as the family needs by any means but it is an indication that the readers of the Palladium have been affected by the story of poverty and sorrow and they -will no doubt contribute an even larger sum today and bring the fund up to a hundred dollars by Friday's? Issue. The Palladium has advanced the Vincent family enough money to provide a decent burial for their little one. but that is not all the family needs. They have debts to pay and no mouey with which to meet them. The two little girls need dresses to wear for a cold winter is approaching. No longer can they run barefooted about their home. They must have stockings and shoes to wear and they must fe the warmth of a fire. A flour bin is low at the Vincent home and there is no means in sight for filling it. The family is even in such hard circumstances that they do not own their own furniture, but rent it from the man who owns the house in which they live. The little town of Westville cannot do much for the Vincent family although the neighbors have already given to them. It is up to Richmond to do. The Vincent Family Should Move. A mother's love cries out against burying her loved one in Westville and the corpse has br"f iken to Mt. Washington. Mrs. Vincent's old home. So much misfortune has been visited on the Vincent family in Westville that they feel that they should leave the place and go to Mt. Washington where they are well known and where the opportunities for getting work are greater. Since Mr. Vincent's injury he cannot do work sufficient to support his family j and Mrs. Mncent must help. When she goes out to work, she does not like to leave her children at home uncared for. If they move to Mt. Washington, Mrs. Vincent's mother, who lives there can care for the little ones while their mother will help their father in providing for them. It requires money to move.

Circulation Yesterday 3390 A Week Ago 3165 Month Ago 2838 Probably by the time you read this statement the Palladium's circulation will be well over the thirty four hundred mark and will have established a new record for itself. The Palladium is well on its way toward fulfilling its prediction as regards circulation. We have the largest rural route circulation and the second largest city circulation. Our circulation in neighboring towns is increasing at a rate that will soon give us the largest circulation in that field also. Watch the Palladium for large and bona fide circulation gains.

GARTSIDE MUST TAKE MONEY IN INSTALLMENTS It was stated yesterday in the City Controller's office in regard to the Gartside money which Mr. Gartside has not di awn as his share of the damages in the closing of North 14th street, that if he so desii;d he could not get it all in one lump. The assertion was made that he would in all probability be compelled to put up with installment payments if he cared to demand his money at this particular time.

Corporation Composed of Eu
ropean and American Promoters Take Out Charter For Mammoth Undertaking THE CZAR OF RUSSIA IS INTERESTED IN PROJECT Not Only Will a Railroad be Built Under Behring Strait But Telegraph and Tele phone Will be Laid There. IPubllshers" Fressj Trenton, X. J. Oct. 24. Probably the most important corporation to come to this state for a charter dur ing the past year is the Trans-Alaska Siberian railway company, which was chartered at the office of the Secretary of State today. It is the Durnose of this mammoth concern which is issuing an stock of $6,000. 000 to connect the Western Hemis phere with the Continent by an all rail route. This will be done by tunnelling under Behring Strait and when this will have been accomplisned a scheme that has been torturing the minds of capitalists for a century past will have been accomplished Not only is it the purpose of this concern to connect two continents by rail, but it also proposes to install a telegraph and telephone system connecting these widejy diversified sections of the globe by almost instantaneous methods of communica tion. Origin of the Concern. The origin of the concern, the in corporators of which are Loicq De Lobel, general delegate of the French Russian and American syndicates of the Trans-Alastic Siberian railway: ,T. A. L. Waddell, delegate of the advisory board of controlling engin eers of the railway; John G. Healy of a - Western Syndicate and William H. Black and John R. Turner of New York City and Jersey City respectively, is a project beside which corporations of far greater capitalization fade into insignificance. Mr. De Lobels address is given as Paris, France; Waddell comes from Kansas City, Mo., while Healy hails from Seattle,' Wash. The incorporation of this company is the result of a contract entered into by a special commission appointed by Majesty Nicholas II of Russia and M. De Lobel in May 1906. Main Line of the Road.

Huntington, of St. Paul's Episcopal read the lesson, Rev. Shirey, of the Second Presbyterian, made the announcements for the week and the Rev. Smith, of the First Baptist, rendered the prayer. The address of the evening was given by Evangelist John Elliott, D. D., of New York, whose text was taken from the First Chronicles 29-5: "Who then offereth willingly to consecrate his services unto the Lord." It has not been Richmond's favor to hear in many years as entertaining and versatils a speaker as Evangelist Elliott, who with ease and grace handled his text comprehensively, holding the attention of his hearers throughout the sermon. He was greatly complimented on his engaging address and indication points that his services during the week, will be largely attended. At different points in the address illustrative stories were told which did not fail to bring response from (Continued to Page Eight.)

LAST SAD RITES FOR A, L. POGUE Dr. Gunsaulus of Chicago Pronounces Eulogy Over His Life Long Friend. IS LIKENED TO NAPOLEON DAUNTLESS COURAGE OF THE DECEASED HELD UP AS ONE OF HIS MOST STERLING QUALITIES THE BURIAL TODAY. The funeral services over the body of Americus L. Pogue, were held yesterday afternoon at the home on East Main street, at 2 o'clock, the Rev. Dr. rrank L. Gunsaulus, of Chicago officiating. A large number of friends of the deceased had gathered at the home, to hear the words of praise for the deceased, from the lips of the eminent Chicago divine, who for the past twenty years has been a close friends, and admirer of the sterling character of Mr. Pogue. The serviceswere so simple nature making their impressiveness the more touching. The sermon by the Rev. Dr. Gunsaulus, was a tender eulogy of the life of Americus Pogue. He stated that he had. never known a man with the such dauntless courage, and who in this respect could be likened to Napoleon Bonaparte, with greater truth than the deceased. He looked ahead and worked for the things in the future, never looking backward for the things in the past. He at all times lived in the future, and the aim of his life was to make the next minute accomplish more than the last- At all times during his life he looked forward to the beautiful things in life, and there was never a man who owed more to the rigor and vigor of his' early Christian training, than he. Dr. Gunsaulus continued to say that during the time, when be and Mr. Pogue were thrown together, in places where only the purest of christian minds could withstand the temptations, Mr. Pogue would be the purest of all, always looking above the evils which beset many other j men. Dr. Gunsaulus stated that he j knew no;man or woman with whiter and purer character, and if he w-e to continue his praise of the gentle spirited man, who had passed to the land beyond, he could place the purest and whitest of Hllies in the cold hand of the dead. He said ths4 the Christian spirit of the , man, although he might be robed in the black and pityless garb of death, would live on. as an insniration to his conntlpss 1 friends with whom he has been asso- ' ciatpd " The active pall bearers were: Arthur Smith, Frank Chambers, Alton Hale, John Howard, G. W. Miller, Sharon Jones, Rutherford Jones and Everett Lemon. The honorary pall bearers, former intimate friends of the deceased, were J. Y. Crawford, C. W. Ferguson, William H. Bradbury, Elgar G. Hibberd, Artemus Hadley, and M. C. Henley. The burial will be held this morning at Earlham cemetery.

CDORCH FAILS TO GAIN ADMITTANCE Sian of Friction in Olive Branch Synod Came Yesterday. PASTORS IN A DISPUTE THE REV. SEIDEL PASTOR OF THE CHURCH WHICH WAS TURNED DOWN ACCUSSES REV. ZINSMEISTER OF JEALOUSLY. The first sign of friction in the meeting of the Olive Branch Synod of the Lutheran church came yesterday, when the committee on new congregations, refused to admit the St. Paul's church of Nashville to the Synod on account of the faulty construction of its constitution. The Rev. Mr. Seidel. pastor of the newc hurch accused the Rev. C. Zinsmeister, chairman of the committee on new congregations of being jealous of him and influencing the committee. He said that the action was aimed at him and did not grow out of the churche's constitution The Rev. Zinsmeister is pastor of the First English Lutheran church at Nashville, and the Rev. Mr.Seidel's church is now a branch of the former. The general assembly accepted the report of the committee despite the protest of the Rev. Mr. Seidel. Rev. Seidel stated that the constitution submitted to the synod from his congregation, was a document which required much time in preparation, and that he thought that when the members of his cor,regation heard of its refusal, trouble would follow, although they would not un der any circumstances, disobey the laws of the Synod, as they were too loyal to -that bodj'. The congregation will probably be admitted at the next Synod meeting, if the constitution or especially several minor clauses in it, are changed to conform with the committee's views. Money Needed at Wittenberg. It was reported to the Synod that a change must be made in the manner of paying the salaries of professors at Wittenberg college. At present there is not sufficient funds to (Continued From Page Four.) Plaintiff Didn't Appear.

The step will not be taken until the boiler and machinery are ready for use. The other boilers are insured in the sum 'of $1S,000.
NAME PRESIDING OFFICERS AND TAKE UP THEIR TASK
It is Agreed by All That There Should be a Change But Just What it Should be is Undecided. Every American Yearly Meeting which is identified with the American Friends Board of Foreign Missions, is represented by one or more delegates at the missonary conference which opened yesterday in East Main Street Friends church and which will continue in session until tomorrow afternoon. It is a remarkable gathering in many ways, principally because of the evident desire of the American Friends in general to increase the usefulness of their denomination in the, foreign mission fields by adopting a plan which will do away with the present methods pursued generally speaking, yet which shall seek to preserve the features which are deemed effective. Under the present system he foreign missionary work is conducted by the various Yearly Meetings and the Missionary Boards, each being entirely independ ent of the others and it is with the Idea uppermost of evolving some consolidation of these independent bodies, that the present conference was called. ' Splendid Body of Quakers. It is a fine body of men and women who are assembled to discuss this question, and it is truly representative of the best that the Quaker church in America has In the way of intellect and progressiveness. On every hand there are evidences of the deepest realization of the responsibility Involved and there is no disposition to rush with unduft haste. It is new ground upon which he Friends are trodding, and the result or tha deliberations now in progress are likely to bring about great changes in the Friends church in the way of conducting one of the most important departments of its labors. At the session yesterday forenoon, following devotional exercises in which several of the delegates participated, Thomas C. Brown, of Plainfield, president of the American Friends Board of Foreign Missions, formally called the conference to order, read the official call. which had been sent to all of the Yearly Meetings, and then announced that it was for the conference itself to determine upon its method of conducting business. Owing to' the fact that the question of uniting the missionary forces of the church is sltogether new, the delegates were not ready to agree at once as to the best method of presenting the matters that would naturally come up, for definite conclusions, and there was considerable time spent in discussion. It , was finally decided that .there should be . . 1 A. i J . a ousiness commiuee , appwuieu which should settle upon various matters that should be presented and which should also be ready to receive and consider any plans for the promised union of missionary work, in advance of their being gubniitjfd to the conference proper. Another committee also was provided for, this to be known as the "committee on conclusions" and whose funcion is to make a digest of the proceedings and to formulate the conclusions of the confer(Continued to Page Five.)
