THEIR WORK LIKE

SALVATION ARMY "Crown and Cross" Rents Quarters at North Thirteenth and F Streets. TO ORGANIZE THURSDAY WILL HOLD CHURCH SERVICES AT WHICH NO COLLECTIONS WILL BE TAKEN TO PAY SICK BENEFITS. Birth, to a new religious organiza tion has been Riven in this city, which will ho known as the Crown and Cross. A hall has been rented at the corner of North Thirteenth and I streets, which will serve as headquarters, while the formal debut of the organization will be made next Sun day, at which time services will be held both morning and evening. R. B. McGlade, a resident of this city, and flagman for the Pennsylvania railroad at Sixteenth street, is the father of the new body. Mr. Mct;iada served in the capacity of captain of the Salvation Army at Middletown, O., for four years prior to coming to Richmond, and will probably be selected to lead the work of the new band here. The work will be carried on similarly to that of the Salvation army. In speaking of the matter yesterday, Mr. McGlade said: "One cf our bylaws is, that under no circumstances filial! money boxes be pressed under the noses of our members and friends. We believe that this is what keeps a great number from the churches, where otherwise they would go. However, we will place small boxes in the stores of the city and subsist off free will offerings entirely. Another feature of our organization will be the sick benefits. Each member of the society will be required to pay $1 per month Into the general fund, and In case a member becomes sick, he or she will draw $1 a week sick benefits." On next Thursday night the members of the organization will meet in their hall and elect a captain, lieutenant and secretary.

Catarrhal G astritis "For two years I was in a very bad condition. I was treated by a number of eminent physicians for chronic catarrhal gastritis and dilatation of the stomach, and obtained no relief. I grew gradually worse, my breathing was so difficult at times that I thought I would die. My heart was in very bad condition from poor circulation and pressure of the dilated stomach. I decided it was only a matter of a very short time with me. I was advised to try Dr. Miles' Nervine and Heart Cure, and before I had finished taking one bottle of the medicine I felt like a new being. I took eight bottles of the medicine, and am entirely cured, for a matter of about SS.oo in the face of two hundreds spent in the two vears before without relief." " A. D.

WM. RICE PLEAD GUILTY Erstwhile Salvation Army Worker Told Court That he Regretted Beating His Board Bill Just as Soon as he Left the pity. William Rice, erstwhile active worker in the ranks of the Salvation Army will for the next fifteen days occupy a cell at the county jail for a violation of the lodging house law, the prosecuting witness being G. E. Jabusch, the owner of a hotel and restaurant. Rice originally entered a plea of not guilty, but yesterday morning when his case was called for a second time he threw himself on the mercy of the court, and admitted that he had made a sneak from Jabusch's place with his earthly belong ings wrapped in a newspaper. He ; said, however, that immediately after he had boarded the car for Indianapolis he regretted his action, and determined to pay the amount of his bill as soon as he reached that city. Judge Converse made it 5 and costs. FEAR SHORES MAY SINK INTO OCEAII In Many Places Ocean Bed at Kingston is Now Hundred Feet Below Water. MANY WHARVES ARE GONE DISPATCHES SAY THAT THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO THE IS LAND OUTSIDE THE CAPITAL OF JAMAICA. Publishers' Press.J New York, Jan. 17. A report re ceived here says that the shores of the harbor of Kingston are sinking, and that there is terror lest the city slip into the sea. The bed of the harbor is said to be sinking and the water in many places is 100 feet deep. Every wharf not destroyed before is said to be sunk into the sea or rendered worthless. Definite advices as to the extent of the catastrophe at Kingston are still lacking. Conflicting reports indicate that the death list may be anywhere from 100 to 1,000. One dispatch reported that 310 bodies had been recovered and buried. From the meager advices it is indiJamaica are in good condition. One report says the city was not destroyed, but that nearly every building in the place sustained some damage. When the first shock came many buik:ng3 collapsed, burying hundreds of persons in the debris. Of these some were killed, but a greater number injured and these were rescued. The flames spread rapidly, as the water pipes were broken, and there was nothing Willi which to fight the flames. The fire raged until Tuesday morning, when luckily the wind changed, and the fire having nothing further to feed on burned itself out. All the buildings along Duke, Port Royal, King and East streets were wiped out by the flames. A camp fcr :efur;ees was located on the race grounds, and there several thousand negroes are sheltered. Thousands of others are homeless and are camping in the surrounding country. The people had a premonition of the coming disaster in the shape of a violent windstorm. Their fears were aroused and many rushed from theit homes. This undoubtedly saved many lives, as the people were still on the streets when the earthquake came. The Myrtle Bank hotel, a favorite j resort for Americans, is completely razed and the large dry goods houses of Nathan. Sherlock & Co. and all the other buildings in the vicinity have been consumed by the flames. The steamers Port Langston and Admiral Simpson are safe in Kingston harbor. The Port Langston is being used as a hospital. Lighters did good wcrk in rescuing people who were pushed overboard from wharves by half maddened crowds seeking shelter from the flames. About 700 persons were saved in this way. The city hospital is overcrowded. The military hospital was destroyed by fire and 40 patients burned to death. Hardly a building is left standing In the entire city of Kingston and those not demolished are dangerously injured and uninhabitable. The postofflce and telegraph office are among the buildings destroyed. Besides Sir James Ferguson, the most conspicuous white men killed were Captains Constantine and Young of the Royal Mail Steamship service. Other whites killed include Major Hardiman, Dr. Gibbs Varley, Dr. Menier. Dr. Robertson and wife. Miss Lockett, B. Varies-. J. W. M. Bradley and four children of a family named Livingstone.

Walls of Donohue Printing Company's Building Fall with Fatal Effect. BAD FIRE AT CHICAGO FIREMEN MAKE FRENZIED EFFORT TO FIND MISSING FELLOWS WHILE TRYING TO CHECK THE FLAMES. Publishers' Press. 1 Chicago, Jan. 17. Twelve men are believed to be buried under the walls of the Donohue Printing company's seven story printing plant in Dearborn street, which fell this afternoon, fol lowing the gutting or the Dunaing oy a recent fire, completely demolishing the Eagle building, a three story struc ture adjoining. The Eagle building was occupied by the Jacobs Tailoring company, the Duncan restaurant and the Eagle Printing company.. Though it was undamaged by the fire which left only the walls of the Donohue building standing, the foundations were weakened by the flood of water and the structure was closed by the buildings department. The men supposed to be buried under the ruins are four workmen assigned by the Consolidated Automatic Fire Alarm company to look for lost wires and eight who were engaged in strengthening the weakened foundation. Thus far no names are obtainable.

BAILEY RECEIVED A GREAT OVATIOII Appeared Before the Texas House of Representatives in Explanation Role. STOOD LIMELIGHT WELL IF APPLAUSE WAS A CRITERION, THEN THE STANDARD OIL SEN ATOR SATISFIED HIS CONSTIT UENCY. Dallae, Tex., Jan. 17. U. S. Senator J. W. Bailey was in the limelight very strong today and seemed to stand the glare all right. By unanimous vote of the house of representatives at Austin he was invited to explain to that branch of the legislature the W'aters Pierce and other papers left by Attorney General Davidson yesterday! Then the opposition tried for a test vote, evidently as a "pulse feeler" of house sentiment, by offering a resolution that Mr. Bailey be required to demand an investigation before he be permitted to appear before the house. This was defeated by the close vote of 63 to 60, with 8 members, most of them Bailey supporters absent from the hall. But it helped to demonstrate that Bailey has a majority of the house as well as the senate on any proposition involving his political welfare. When Senator Bailey appeared in the hall of the house of representa tives, he was given a tremendous ovation. The galleries were packed and their occupants seemed to be unanimous in their cheers for the junior senator wmcn continued ior nearly five minutes. Senator Bailey retired with Speaker Love for 20 minutes to the speakers room. After fully examining each document left by Attorney General Davidson, he appeared at the bar of the house and carefully made his explanations. He pointed out what he declared were inconsistencies, contradictions, and absurdities in connection with some of the conciusi0n3 reached by his enemies. He denounced as false any charge that he had ever served the Waters-Pierce Oil company tor any trust. He admitted, as he has heretofore that he . had had business relations with H. Clay Pierce as an individual but the matters in controversy all occurred months after the re-admission of the Waters-Pierce Oil company into Texas, he declared, and had no connection with that affair. Bailey denounced J. P. Gruett in scathing language, also some of his political opponents. He showed where many of the Davidson documents had been altered by the use of different colored inks and by different hand writings and asserted some had been '"doctored" with the intent of injuring him - politically. Senator Bailey was frequfitly ap plauded and there was another favor- j ablel demonstration when he left the hall of the house pf represontativs. Additional Society. Mrs. Olive E.

Europe's teet sugar erqp for 1906-07 Is estimated at 6,473,000 pietrlc tons. A carved war sod recently discovered in a Colorado cave is believed to be more than a thousand years old. The Russian empire holds the record of having under its sway sixty-five separate and distinct racial groups. The vulture can travel 150 miles an hour. It is a question whether it or the English kestrel is the swiftest bird. Sir Humphry Davy said it was as reasonable to talk of ventilating London with windmills as to light the big city with gas. , Coal mining in the province of Shangtung, China, is steadily increasing. Last year one district produced 136,900 tons, or 100,000 tons more than the year before. Two ostriches which escaped from a colonial exhibitian at Paris joined In the promenade in the Champs Elysees, Paris. They were captured by the police after a chase. The reduction works at Canso. N. S., handled 1.300 tons of dogfish last year and produced therefrom 9,000 gallons of fish oil, besides 200 tons of fish scrap, which makes a good fertilizer. In order best to influence the British government, a meeting of Hindoos opposed to the partition of Bengal decided the other day to observe the anniversary of "partition day" by "fasting, praying and bathing In the Ganges." The activity in shipbuilding in England is now greatly reducing the number of unemployed In the shipbuilding industries. A year ago there were above 11 per cent unemployed. Now, by a board of trade report, it Is shown that the unemployed are brought down to about 5 per cent. The Preston (England) free library committee lias decided to distribute hundreds of pictures among the elementary schools of the town, with the object of teaching them history. The pictures deal with the poetry, legends and history of the country and the great events of the world. A group of several engineers and capitalists, headed by William O. Weber of Boston, believe thev have revo- - - . , . luuomzeu iue inuusinui sjstcm uy a new device utilizing the power of the tides so as to manufacture compressed air. A plant is about to be erected at South Thomaston, Me., to demonstrate the value of this invention. The spotlessly pure marbles of the island of Paros, Greece, are mined by an English company. Many of the celebrated statues left by the ancient world were sculptured from the marbles of the Parian mines. The green marbles of Tinos and the red of Manl are likewise controlled by foreign capital. An Ingenious inventor has Just patented a folding bed that can be carried on a motor car. The bed opens trellis fashion and when shut holds a mattress and pneumatic pillows. When open it can be used also as a table, and when shvt it can be made to serve as a front seat for a motor car. Ireland obtains credit for being the first country to register a national trademark. The design reproduces an antique Irish ornament with the words "Dlanta e Eirinn," meaning "made in Ireland." It is applicable to anything produced or manufactured in the country. Memorials to animals are fairly common, but there is one in England existing inside a church. This is the effigy of a cow displayed in Durham cathe dral. Tradition asserts that it was j placed there in order to keep in re- j membrane the facts relating to the , burial within the sacred edifice of the remains of St. Cuthbert.

WRITER NOW DEAD Fred Douglas Given Credit for Being Proudest Product of Negro Race. SO SAYS WALTER DENNIS WELL KNOWN MEMBER OF CRISPINS ATTUCKS LEAGUE TALKS TO STUDENTS AT HIGH SCHOOL ON NEGRO PROBLEM. Walter Dennis spoke to tne members, of. the senior history class yesterday in connection with their recent study of negroes in the south. Mr. Dennis is a member of the Crispus Attucks league of this city that was founded on January 23rd, 1906. The object of the league is to promote moral, intellectual and industrial condition of the negroes of this community. They meet at the different churches on the third Sunday of every month and have very interesting services that are attended by the better class of the negroes of the city. Their motto is loyalty to the best interests of our community. The league which is headed by Geo. Conrad as president now numbers twenty and is now endeavoring to push the better men forward. He says the whites ordinarily do not see the better class of negroes and if they did they would understand then that the negro race is not all bad. Mr. Dennis said when asked who he thought was the greatest man of their race that he thought without doubt Frederick Douglas was, as he had to work up from the ground while Booker T. Washington had many advantages offered him at the start. FOOT VERY TROUBLESOME County Treasurer is Again Confined to His Home on account of Injured Member.

Orange and West streets are a mass of ruins and it is believed that under the demolished buildings along these thoroughfares are many dead bodies. The soldiers who are searching the debris, are now working along these two latter thoroughfares, but owing to the fact that charred timbers and slate work fill the streets, while standing walls threaten to topple at any time, they are making but little progress. Natives Refuse to Work. All of the tents that could be secured, have been erected in a square about the parade ground and the homeless women and children are being housed and the men doing the best they can in the open. Another temporary camp . for survivors has been established at St. Andrews, six miles inland from the city, and there the Europeans are being cared for. There is but little flour and practically no bread on hand and the chief Item of food at present is fruit, especially bananas. The natives are refusing to work and the governor-is considering the proposition of declaring martial law in the island. If the American and British marines are landed from the warships, he will be in a better position to do so. Railway System Disabled. The electric railway system, probably the best in any of the West Indian Islands, is absolutely out of commission and the double power houses have been destroyed.

Because of the wrecking of the water works, water is very hard to get and such as is obtainable is hard-, ly fit to drink. This gives rise to the fear that an epidemic among the survivers may result and orders have" been issued by the governor to have everyone ball the water before using' it. By seven o'clock tonight the fire in the city was practically extinguished although the coal and rubbish along the wharves is still burning, and will burn until it burns itself out. Up to 11 o'clock this morning 3Sf bodies had been taken from the ruins and buried. Nearly 500 of thor-e In the temporary hospitals are in a serious condition, but as fast as they can be got into a condition, to travel, they are being sent in improvised ambulances to Spanish town. , Weather Clear and Fine. The weather is clear and fine and if it does not storm within the next few days, it will be possible to arrange to house all of the survivor. Although the governor is offering treble wages for workmen, he is having a hard task getting enough men to make any sort of headway on the ruins. The populace as a whole 'display no desire to return to their reined houses and are content to occupy shelter places in the parks and parpdo grounds and wait for "something to turn up." Inasmuch as there are no provisions available to be purchased, tho governor tonight sent an urgent despatch to the colonial office in London asking them to hurry supplies to him, . . ..
