TRESPASSING IS A (IATIOIIAL EVIL
Has Caused Deaths of More than 50,000 People in the U. S. in 11 Years. WANT LAW ENFORCEMENT PENNSYLVANIA RAILROAD WILL REDOUBLE ITS EFFORTS TO REDUCE NUMBER OF FATALITIES ON ITS LINE8.
Pittsburg, June 13. Trespassing on railroad property In violation of the law has caused the desiths of more than 50,000 people In the United States in the last eleven years. In this same period more than 55,000 trespassers have been injured. With a view to reducing; to a minimum the practice of trespassing on its property, the Pennsylvania railroad has determined to redouble its efforts to secure on its lines that rigid enforcement of the law against trespassing which in foreign countries has done so much to decrease the number of fatalities resulting from trespassing. In 1907 the Pennsylvania inaugurated a vigorous campaign against trespassing, and, due doubtless to this, the number of trespassers killed In 1908 was only 757. In 1909. 732 lost their lives in this way. In the eleven years prior to January first. 1910. exactly 7,972 people who were on the Pennsylvania railroad's right of way In wilful violation of the law, in spite of thousands . of warning signs along the railroad, were killed. It is thus seen that in the eleven years an average of two trespassers a day have been killed on Pennsylvania railroad property. This long death roll is every year charged up to the railroad even though these people are killed as a result of their violating the law, and under conditions over which the company has no control. It is not only tramps who are killed and injured while trespassing, though thousands of them lose their , lives In this way every year. Men of the laboring class, factory workmen, their wives and children, who use railroad tracks as thoroughfares, are killed by the hundreds. That the practice of walking on railroad tracks Is prevalent In Industrial districts gives added significance to the fatalities on the Pennsylvania system as a result of trespassing. The tracks of the Pennsylvania are lined with factories, as they run through the densest industrial section, through territory which holds more than half of the population of the United States. Over 10,000 trespassers were arrested In the year 1909. In 1S9S, 4,063 trespassers lost their lives on American railroads: five years later the number was 5,000 and in 1907 the number killed was 5,612 more than 15 a day. These figures are taken from the annual reports of the Interstate Commerce Commission. Figures compiled by the Pennsylvania railroad alone show that 465 trespassers lost their lives on that system's lines in 1899; 781 were killed in 1904; while in 1907 .the number reached 915 an average of almost three for every business day in the year. ' The Pennsylvania railroad has now posted its tracks and stationed watchmen to see that warnings against tres
passing are respected. By redoubling its efforts the company Is endeavor Ing to reduce the number of tres passers who are killed and injured by an even greater number than it has doue in the past three years. The co-operation of city and county authorities has been solicited In this campaign. Heretofore the actual punishment of persons violating the laws forbidding trespassing on a railroad's private property has been infrequent. The cost of imprisonment has deterr ed the local courts from holding those arrested while trespassing on railroad property. Flamingo' Tongues. The beastly Vitellius. as Gibbon calls him, spent at least six millions of moo ey oa table in as ma ay months. He Invented, er his cook Invested for him. a dish which he designated "the shield ' of Minerva." One of Its principal in gredients was flamingoes' tongues, of which both Pliny and Martial speak la encomiastic terms. Dampler says that the flamingoes have "large tongues. and near the root is a piece of fat which is accounted a great dainty." When Captala Owen was surveying the east coast of Africa his sailors shot down hundreds of these beautiful birds la order, with an extravagance worthy of Vitellius, to make a dish of the tongues alone.

(American News Service) Edinburgh, Scotland, June 13. All Protestant Christendom will be repre sented at the World's Missionary con gress which will begin its sessions in this city tomorrow and continue until June 24. Delegates to the number of 1,200 hailing from every section of the globe where the Protestant religion flourishes will be present including the most prominent religious workers in the world. In addition to the delegates, several thousand Christians from Europe and America will attend the sessiops and it is expected to be the largest and most successful congress ever held since the movement was inaugurated in 1888, when the first congress was held in London. The next meeting was held in New York In 1000, and while the sessions were largely attended the representa tion was not as world-wide as the forth coming one will be. At that time the missionary societies of the continent held aloof and showed no disposition to take an active part in the work. Now, however, they are working with the same enthusiasm as their American and English brothers, and fully 250 societies will send official delegates, s The officers of the present conference are: President, The Right Hon. Lord Balfour, of Burleigh, K. T. Vice presidents, The Right Hon. Lord Reay, G. C. S. I.; The Right Hon. Sir John Kenneway, Bart., C. B., M. P.; Cir Andrew H. L. Fraser, K. C. S. I., LL. D. The United States has over 1,000 representatives present, and more than half the number are social delegates. Theodore Roosevelt was expected to be present, but he was compelled to cancel the engagement and is now on his way to America. Among the prominent Americans who are in the city and will attend the convention are: William Jennings Bryan, John R. Mott, secretary of the World Christian Federation; Samuel B. Capen, President of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions; Rev. T. S. Barbour, foreign secretary of the Baptist missions of America; and the Rev. James M. Buckley, president of the Methodist Foreign board. A large number of the delegates have planned a trip to Oberammergau to witness the Passion Play at the close of the convention. The conference will be opened tomorrow morning In the assembly hall of the United Free Church of Scotland, toy the Archbishop of Canterbury. The main work of the convention will consist In the discussion of reports to be submitted by eight commissions consisting of twenty persons , each, who have been investigating the various phases of missionary work. Their reports have been compiled in book form and will be circulated among the delegates. The work of the eight commissioners may be briefly outlined as follows: 1. On carrying the Gospel to all the world. The number and distribution of missionary forces, both foreign and native; the number of churches, stations, Sunday school, and other agencies; the circulation of the Bible and other literature, including a knowledge of the unoccupied fields. 2. On the native churches and its workers. The line of inquiry in this case will bring out the present situation in reference to self-support, the various hindrances to the develop; ment of the native churches and how these may be removed. 3. On education in reference to the Christlaniiation of national life. The urgent educational demands of China and many other countries constitute in themselves sufficient occasion for calling a world conference. 4. On the missionary message in relation to non-Christian religions. The aim here has been to translate the Gospel into forms of thought familiar to the various peoples, and to fiid those elements of Christianity which in all ports of the -world have proved most convincing to non-Christians. 5. On the preparation of missionaries. The course of study in most theological seminaries should undergo important changes in order that the expecting missionary may receive proper equipment. Their commission will suggest such modifications as. are adapted to meet this demand.

Languages in Church Services Only English Is Used by Eighty-five Per Cent of All Religious Organizations in the United States.
Washington, June 13. English was In 1906 the sole language of worship In 1 SI ,303 religious organizations, with 23,648,267 members, or 85.5 per cent of the number of organizations, and 71.8 per cent of the total membership in continental United States, according to Part 1, now in press of the census bureau's comprehensive report on the census of religious bodies for 1906. The report was prepared under the supervision of William C. Hunt, chief statistician for population, and Director Durand will transmit it to Secretary Nagel of the department of commerce and labor. It shows also that English and some foreign languages were used in 7,906 organizations, with 3,371,628 members; while foreign languages are used only in the church services of 16,688 organizations,, with 5,022,601 members or 7.9 per cent of the organizations, and 15 per cent of the membership, or 6 per cent of the estimated population in 1906. The census of 1906 was the first in This is Certain The Proof That Richmond Readers Cannot Deny. What could furnish stronger evidence of the efficiency of any remedy than the test of time?

This was considered in the report for statement of the work of the churches especially among the foreign population, but there was in the 1890 report no general enumeration or classification, although summaries recognized as approximate, were given of the languages used in the Lutheran bodies and the Methodist Episcopal church, and mention was made of those used in other bodies. Record Is Reasonably Complete. It is stated in the present report that the total number of organizations reporting was 204,268, or 96.2 per cent of the grand total. A considerable number of organizations which made no report apparently, it is asserted, took it for granted that it would be understood that English was used. It follows, therefore, according to the report, that the record of languages used in church service is reasonably complete. With reference to those using foreign languages only the report points out that, as , approximately 2,000,000 immigrants, using foreign languages, entered the United States during the years 1905 and 1906, it is evident that the adoption of English by these immigrant communities has progressed rapidly. It should be noted the report states, that by no means all of the immigrants are identified with church life. The bodies reporting the largest number of organizations using foreign languages only are naturally those most largely made up of Immigrants, or those most closely identified with church work among immigrants. In the Lutheran bodies 7,242 organizations with 1,227,9S1 members report the use of foreign language only; in the Roman Catholic church 2476 organizations with 3,064,436 members; in the Methodist Episcopal 1228 organizations with 84,530 members, and In the German Evangelical Synod of North America 952 organizations with 201,137 members. The arersge membership in organizations using foreign languages only Is smaller than that of organizations using English and a foreign language, except in the Roman Catholic church, where some very large parishes are reported. Thus a French parish in California reports SOO members, and an Italian and Portuguese parish 8,075 members; while in Illinois 32 Polish parishes average 3,823 members each, and 9 Bohemian parishes 3.S84 members. There appear, therefore, to be large nonEnglish speaking communities provided in each case with a single church whose numerous services meet the wants of the people ,

"The Rivals," will be held this evening. The entire high school orchestra will be present as it Is necessary to rehearse some of the incidental music with the cast. Most of this incidental music has been arranged for the occasion by Mr. Will Earhart. The play, which will be given tomorrow evening in the high school auditorium, very likely will prove to be one of the least amateurish ever put on at the high school. During the last two or three rehearsals the cast has improved wonderfully, so that now the last vestige of stiffness and awkwardness, both characteristic of the amateur, has disappeared. Those who see the production on tomorrow night are sure to be surprised by the cleverness of much of the acting. Among the interesting features of tomorrow evening's production will be the revival of the time honored custom of speaking by tag by the members of the cast. The "tag" is spoken as an epilogue, and was once a part of practically every play. It was spoken to the audience, and was, in substance a request of the audience's approbation of the play. Among professionals there has long been a superstition that the last few words of the "tag" should never be spoken coherently during rehearsals. Otherwise, ill luck would come to the performance on "first night." Each speaking character of the play has a line in the "tag" tomorrow night. It will be spoken after the minuet and immediately preceding the final curtain. The grenadiers of the cast have been drilled ,by Mr. Murl Pierson of the United States army. Earl ham Class Play.

While Root Juice Is comparatively new remedy, the most of the, ingre dients of which it is made have been in general use for years and are being prescribed daily by the best doctors of the land. Proof of the wonderful merits of Root Jules is In thousands of homes, scattered throughout the land. Thousands of people whom Root Julca has cured or benefited are today advising their sick friends to try it .and but few who take the advice hava cause to regret it. a fact whjch caa easily be proved by any druggist who has the agency.
