BALTIMORE CITY Consideration of This Project Will Be One of the Important Features of the Session This Week. ESTIMATED COST OF BUILDING, $80,000 Rev. Aberly Hopes to Secure . " Large Gift From Watts Family of North Carolina For a College.

-In Saturday's issue of the Palladium, page 4, was given a complete list of theassignments of Lutheran ministers to Richmond's various Protestant churches today. One of the most important matters which will come before the attention of the Lutheran synod this week will be the consideration of building a new Deaconess Motherhouse at Baltimore, Md., the same to cost $80,000. A picture of the proposed Motherhouse bangs in the hallway of the St. Paul's church, the synod hall, at the present time, and the beauty of the building as shown is attracting much attention. . The Deaconess home : Is now ten years old, and it is doing a great work , for the church. The young women, between the ages of twenty-one and forty,' who go there for a systematic course of three years' training, practically give up their lives to the service of the church. V .Work Without Pay. , After . they have completed - their course they are assigned to a parish, usually fa's large I cityi Here. they . take upl work. peculiar to their nature, and whjch the pastor himself could not so. advantageously handle. They get no pay for their efforts aside from their support and' some necessary 'spending money. ' The Rev. Charles K. Hay, secretary of the Deaconess Board, will present bis report Monday. The report will show most encouraging progress. The board has been particularly fortunate In the purchase of real property, and it Is thought that the synod will greatly help along the needed work, which has recently been given such an Impetus by good business Investments on the part of the board. Hopes to Secure Gift. ' The Rev. John A. Aberly, who has done much work In India In connec tion with Watts Memorial college, said last night that he Is hopeful of secur ing a large gift from the Watts family at Durham, N. C, for the college. Geo. W. Watts, the wealthy tobacco man is known to be kindly inclined toward the school. He has already given $15,' 000 to it and It is thought that he will contribute liberally toward the $100,' 000 endowment fund which Is desired. Watts College is located In Fadras Presidency, Guntur, India. It has 700 students, both Christian and , heathen. There are 35 teachers, both : Christian and heathen. The school is affiliated with Madras University. The present principal is Dr. Uhl, a gradu ate of Johns Hopkins University. All the other masters at Watts college - were educated in the institution Itself. . Education for All. : The students Include all - classes of the Hindu and Mohammedan- comma nity. ; Education is given to all with out regard to their caste or creed. The Instructors have in mind the pre para tlon of the way for Christian faith. The ages of the students range from nine to twenty-five years. The build- ' tag Is of granite and has a frontage of 100 feet. The services last night in the St Paul and First English Lutheran churches were given over to the work of the Deaconess board. The address at the St, Paul's church was by the - Rev. S. W. Herman of Harrlsburg.Pa.. a brilliant young minister whose speeches on the synod floor have at tracted attention. At the First Eng lish Lutheran church . the Rev. W, Henry Blahcke, D. D., of Davenport, Iowa, told in a forcible manner of the need for the. deaconess in the church. Secures Advertisement. v Richmond Is securing much adver

tisement as a result of the meeting of - the Lutheran synod In this city. Not. only are reports, of the meeting beins carried by , many Eastern papers, but in ire church papers of the Lutherans much Is being said concerning Richmond. The Lutheran Observer, a paper -which goes Into nearly every Lutheran home, in Its issue of June 4, contained the various facts concerning Richmond which were prepared by Secretary Edgar M. Haas for the Commercial club. In a prominent' place the publication told of .the various things which go to- - 1 making Richmond u model little ft :,r "

Harry Meek and Frank Swain are named as prospective candidates for the office of county assessor at the next republican nominating election. Both have served as township assessor. Meek was appointed to serve the term of John Winslow, who died a few weeks after taking office. It is probable others candidates will announce for the office and the race would be more interesting , with good opportunities to win being presented.

COMMITTEE DID JMOT TAKE ACTION Chautauqua Lyceum Did Not Make a Report. The meeting of the program commit tee of the Chautauqua which was to have been held last evening was postponed until later, owing to the failure of the lyceum bureau to report anything of sufficient importance to hold meeting: Just as .soon as word is received by the committee relative to several persons whom the committee desires to book, it will meet and fin ish up business.

When Great Gas Bags Ascended Yesterday Afternoon, About 5 O'clock, Wind Blowing to the South.

COLUMBUS, IND., SEES GREAT AERIAL CRAFT If the Wind Should Shift, as is a Possibility, Local Citizens May Get a Chance to See Spectacle. Indianapolis, June 5. With a southsoutheast, ten miles an hour breeze, the nine big gas filled balloons ascended gracefully into the air almost precisely on schedule time yesterday afternoon and sailed off in a direction just a few degrees east of south, under almost perfect ballooning conditions. More than 12,000 pairs of eyes witnessed the start from the automobile speedway and its vicinity, while practically everybody In Indianapolis and vicinity, craned their necks, caught long distance views of the magnificent spectacle. If this course - be maintained It was conjectured that they would pass over Louisville. Weather Indications. After careful calculations based on reports received from Toledo, St. Louis, Columbus and elsewhere, the government weather bureau expert, Major Hersey, of Washington, who is in Indianapo'lis .said it was just barely pos sible that if some of the balloons tried and succeeded In reaching altitude of more than two miles before reaching the Ohio river, a northeasterly current might be encountered and this faint chance Is Richmond's only possibility of seeing the aircraft in its flight. , At 7 o'clock the "Ohio" was report ed to have landed at Nash, Indiana, and the Indianapolis landed at Trafalgar about the sme time.. This left only the mammoth "Chicago," carrying 120,000 three starters In the handicap class. Passed Edinburgh. , : About the same hour seven bal loons passed Edinburg, which indicat ed that the six racers In the national championship., contest, which started more than one hour later than the ban dica ptrio, had caught up with the Chi cago and the latter had become of their flock. At 8 o'clock six balloons passed over Columbus, Indiana, with the "Hoosler' In the lead. They were all well bunch ed, however. Pilot Lembert of the St. Louis III, dropped a message which was forwarded here , saying that at times some balloons were not more than 800 feet apart and that they could converse with, each other, and that they were about 1,800 feet above the earth.

mm m MILLIONS CORDS VOOD WERE USED GrgatTuppIies xi Lumber Exhausted for the Manufacture of Pulp. SPRUCE SUPPLY REDUCED IN CONSEQUENCE OF THIS HEAVY DEMAND THE PAST YEAR CANADA WAS CALLED UPON TO LEND ASSISTANCE. Washington, June 5. Two hundred and fifty-one pulp mills In the United States used 3,346,106 cords of ' wood, and made 2.118,947 tons of pulp last year. Spruce has always been .the leading pulp wood, and it furnished sixty-four per cent of the total quantity used. The rapid development of the wood-pulp industry in the last ten years has. rendered the domestic sup ply of spruce insufficient to meet the demands upon . it, and consequently imports from Canada have been heavy." In 1908 our pulp. mills .con sumed nearly; one and one-half mil lion, cords of domestic, spruce, and ov er 670,000 cords of. Imported spruce, making . the .imports ' of spruce . fortyfive per cent, of the domestic supply. Hemlock, Next to Spruce., . Next to spruce, the most important pulp wood is hemlock; 569,173. cords of it were converted into pulp last year. All the hemlock used was of domestic origin,' and most of it was produced In the. Lake States and Pennsylvania. Although now used In less quantity than spruce and hemlock, poplar has long been a standard pulp wood. A small' quantity of poplar is Imported, but by far the larger portion of the more than 300,000- cords used -last year was cut from domestic timber. Spruce,, hemlock, and poplar made up ninety per cent of the total quantity of pulp wood used. The remainder was supplied by many species, the most Im portant of which were pine, cottonwood, and balsam. '. The wood used by the pulp mills last year cost them a little more than $28,000,000. or an average of $8.38 per cord, against an average of $8.21 in 1907.; The most costly wood used, was Imported spruce,; with an average value of- $10.60 per, cord. - The average for domestic spruce was $8.76 per cord and - for poplar. $8.04 per. cord. - r , The Cheapest Wood. : The cheapest wood which was used in. large, quantity was hemlock, .the cost being. $6.02 per cord. . Owing' to the uncertain business conditions the total consumption of pulp wood - in 1908 was nearly 16 per cent less than in 1907, but this did not prevent a) considerable increase in the price .of wood. : The high price of wood is making the manufacturers be constantly on the lookout for - cheaper raw material, and one of the moat en couraging developments baa been the Increased use of slab wood and other sawmill waste. This drift in tho in dustry is clearly indicated try. tho fact

that 19334 cords of miS

'fiv s: vV. .

factnre during . 1907. while 252.896 cords, an increase' of thirty per cent were used in 1908. - . These statements are based upon a preliminary report of the consumption of pulp wood in the 'United 8tatec In 1908 Just Issued .by. the Bureau of tho Census. . The Bureau . of the. Com and" Che . Forest' Service cooperate in the coileetion of annual statistics of forest products, and this prellnT&Bry report will soon be followed by a bul letin, which -will give detailed Information upon the-use of pulp wood Inst year in the various states, the cost per cord. the amount reduced by the mechanical sulphite and soda . pro cesses and other facts of interest to the industry, .: , ' , -; , . TO SVIUMIH" HOLE s There Will Be an Exodus of Youths to the Coun- -try Today. IS LONG DELAYED TREAT The first real exodus of youngsters to the creeks for the. swimming seas on will be today. Enough' boys went in yesterday to come back and report the water fine. What difference does a little mud make? Nobody goes swim ming to take a- bath. anyhow. Toy can always do that' at home, but O gee! the fun on those sand banks. The swimming season has been , long -de layed . in this vicinity . because of the bad weather, but the youngsters claim it is open now.' so let's all go down to the creek.. Flat rock and the clay banks are pretty good botes and If old' Farmer Dairyman didn't pasture his cows at 8ycamore root and keep all the kids out. that would be the finest place around here.
