PRICES OF TODAY IS fffllDER TO PE0PLE0F SOUTH High Cost off Living at the Present Time Remind the Southerners of High Prices in Civil War. POSTAL EXPERIMENT PROVES SUCCESSFUL Placing Fourth Class Postmasters Under Civil Service Rules Good Move Gossip From Capital BY RODERICK CLIFFORD. Washington, Aug. 27. "No one can seriously dispute the fact that the cost of llTlng advanced materially with the

passage of the Aldrich-Payne tariff law." said ' RepresentatlTe Harry I Maynard. of Virginia, In discussing the minority report of the Senate committee which Investigated the question of high cost of Hying. "It la the price of food products that has made Itself felt more than anything else," continued the Virginia statesman. "You will note this fact on the hill of fare in most of the lead ing hotels and cafes; nearly every article on the list has been advanced IS to 20 percent from what it was formerly. . "Prices of today, however, are not la keeping with what the people paid In the Booth during the war. I am reminded of this by an old bill of fare of the Oriental restaurant of Rich mond. Va which enjoyed an excellent patronage. . Money Was Scarce. The prices quoted prevailed in the arly part of 1864, and at that time money in the south was not over plentiful. Here Is what the patrona of the Oriental had to pay for ordinary fishes: Soup. 11.60 per plate; turkey, 30 an order; chloken the , same. Rock fish was a delicacy. It cost $5, ind name and eggs cost $2.60 and It waa not 8mlthfleld ham either. Boiled ggs cost $2, while fried oysters were 5 an order. You were taxed $3.50 for a dosea oysters on the half shell. The cheapest things on the bill of fare were cabbage and potatoes. They were $1 an order. Pure coffee per cup cost $3, while tea was but f 2. the tame was asked for milk per glass. "In those days the bread and but ter waa extra at $1.50 per order. But if yoa had a thirst appetite and want id to gratify It you had to have a imall bank roll. Champagne and Haderla cost you $50 per bottle; Port and Sherry was worth $25 per bottle, while Claret could be had for $20. Porter and ale sold for $12 per bottle. By the drink French brandy cost $3, Whisky or apple brandy was $2 a Irlnk. The cheapest cigar Havana, was 11. "But don't you know our people did sot complain very much about these high prices, for the reason It would save done no good.. Proved Good . Move. 'The experience of placing fourth ilsss postmasters under civil service rules, now entering upon the second rear, said an official of the post of See department,1 haa proved successful In many respects. It would be no turprlse should the president further ixtend the order. We have many experiences with fourth class post mastrs, and some of them are of such a character that you might doubt any Bian would be guilty of them. "I recall an Instance that happened few years ago In a Southern town '.hat would make a clever subject for She vsudevllle stage. In a certain wa mall came with the regularity :hat gave evidence of the efficiency n the part of the postmaster. The record of the office was good, but me day the postmaster died.

new man Parsons, but that was not

bis name. He took charge without delay. And No Mall Came. Two weeka passed and It was no ticed that no mail had been forward ed from that office. This was most unusual, and caused the department to send out an Inspector to Investi gate. The Inspector's report was short and to the point, as I remember. It was something like this: . "'Arrived at the office Wednesday; found the postmaster In his store attending to business. He waa in good health. A number of patrona came in and Inquired for maiL Some newspapers were handed them, but no letter. They thought it queer that their letters bad not been answered. I asked the postmaster when he last sent out maiL His reply was he hadn't sent any for ten days; that be was waiting for the mall bag to get full. I looked in the bag and there thirty or forty letters that had been resting there all this time. I told him who I was. and he Immediately took an Interest In my visit. He said In explanation that his understanding was to hold the bag until It was filled before mailing. "We seldom ever ( have cases like this now. The civil service examinations eliminate this class of appointments." Governor Gets Hunch. Governor Malcolm R. Patterson, of Tennessee, whose judical ticket was recently defeated, is said to regard the result of that primary election as an ill omen and an Indication of what may happen to him If he remains at the head of the ticket. The governor, like many others has a streak of superstition in his makeup, and when he gets a hunch, the saying Is, he acts. When Governor Patterson was in Washington just after entering upon his first term he stopped at an uptown hotel. There were many strangers In the city at the time and the hotels were filled. The governor arrived in the forenoon. The hotel clerk knew him and. of course, gave him a good room. Soon the news got around that Governor Patterson was in town, and It was not long before his room was filled with friends. While the time waa being pleasantly passed a friend rapped on the door without waiting for a response, entered, and greeted the governor, saying: "I asked the clerk the number of your room. Gov ernor, and he told me 23. Everybody laughed and Governor Patterson said be would have none of 23, and immed iately sought the clerk, demanding another room. "I put you In 23," said the clerk. "because that was the only room I had when you arrived; but I'll change the number on the book so that the newspapermen won't be aware of the right number and have ft story about it in the papers.- Governor Patterson considered that he had a close cad with '23V Violate the Rules. . "If congress is sincere In Its desire to make affective the administration's policy of economy In public expenditures," said a leading official of the treasury department, In discussing the subject, "the 'watchdogs' of the treasury will see to it that the rule touching points of order is rigidly enforced." "When the time arrives for the assembling of congress not a few members of the house avail themselves of the opportunity to tell the public that the house will make a record this session, and that appropriations will be kept down to the lowest knotch. But what are the facts. The committee having charge of the budgets tack Items on In violation of the rule which prohibits legislation on an appropriation bill, and If the point of order is not made the item slips through the house. I have been told by veterans of the house that a very large part of the laws on the statue books get there through appropriation bills, and that It the laws had been submitted to the house In the shape of bills they never would have passed. This applies with equal force to what is termed extravagance in the departments. There are today hundreds of -positions that never would have been created but for the indifference of members In Insisting on points of order against general legislation on appropriation bills. If the administration la extravagant and is costing more than It .should you can place the blame Just where It belongs on congress." HER GOWNS SEIZED (American Kws Service.) Chicago, Aug. 27. Mrs. Mayme MeKenna, 2522 Michigan avenue, Chicago, was revealed today as the woman whose gowns, valued at $25,000. were confiscated by Customs officials In a raid upon the steamer Mauretanla Thursday, when the liner arrived at New York from LiverpoolWord was received today by her mother, Mrs. Annie Hoar that Mrs. McKenna would not leave tor Chicago at once because she had been summoned to appear today before the deputy collector of customs to explain why she did not declare the gowns. How do you know that statesman is losing his grip on popular favor?" "The magazines are putting new names into the anecdotes In which his haa figured for years." Before 18S9 the department of agriculture was simply a bureau. Before the Fiftieth . congress adjourned ' It passed a bill making the bureau a department and the commissioner of agriculture a secretary and a membes of the cabinet.

SYNOD RELATIONS

AGAII1 DISCUSSED AT THECOIICUVE In a Discussion It Was Developed Doctrinal Position of Ohio and Iowa Synods Was Similar. A FEW DIFFERENCES MUST BE HARMONIZED Learned Thesis Adopted by Toledo Theologians, Cover ing Point in Dispute, Up for Consideration. The question of the relationship between the Ohio and Iowa synods was again up for discussion yesterday afternoon at the meeting of the Evangelical Lutheran joint synod of Ohio and other states. The question of fellowship between the two synods was not taken up but that of the doctrinal position. In this regard there seemed to be substantial agreement between the synods. Three years ago a step towards the union of the two synods was taken at Toledo when a set of thesis waa adopted which revealed the essential unity of the two respective bodies. At that time but one district, Wisconsin, refused to ratify a part of the resolutions adopted and there were a few members of the Iowa synod who dissented. The duty remains to harmonise the differences In the ranks of the Ohio synod and on this point the discussion arose. The first point which came up was the church. A thesis adopted by the Toledo theologians is this, "The church In the proper sense of the term Is the communion of true believers as It is begotten through the means of grace and as by this use it edifies itself. From this it follows: First, according to Its real essence, the church Is and remains Invisible on this earth; second, common- participation in the means of grace Is the necessary form of the chnreh's appesranss and the Infallible mark of Its existence." . Meaning of Thesis. The meaning of this thesis is that not any outward form, ceremony or affiliation. Is the means of membership In the kingdom of God,, but only the word of God, the Instrument of the Holy Spirit which produces faith, the number of the faithful constituting the church which is essentially Invisible , since human eyes cannot see faith. However, since the faith of believers must and will continue to feed upon the word of God.' the Invisible church becomes visible Insofar as believers co-operate' for purposes of hearing and doing the Word of God. Also it follows that the degree of faithfulness with which the word of God Is confessed' is the mark of the relative purity and the source of power of the church. Dr. Ernst of St. Paul led In the discussion and the synod was substantially agreed on its conception of the church, t Another point on which synod subscription has not been unanimous Is the thesis: - A Disputed Point. "Full agreement in all articles of faith constitutes the irremlssible condition of church-fellowship. Error In an article of faith must under all circumstances lead to separation. Perfect agreement in all non-fundamental doctrines, though not attainable on earth , Is nevertheless, a desirable end and one we should labor to attain." Dr. Ernst again lead in the discussion of the subject "Open Questions," or doctrines which have no direct bearing upon the faith. He brought out two antagonistic doctrines, one in which It Is believed the soul is the product of natural creation and the other that It Is the Immediate creation of God. He held that different views may be held without imperiling unity in the faith, nor does it affect such unity when the view is doubled that the ministerial office Is given by God with the congregation as an agency of transmission.

WILL SPEAK HERE TODAY Noted Baseball-Evangelist to Lecture on the Subject of "Booze" at Chautauqua This Evening. CHAPLAIN RYAN WAS A SPEAKER YESTERDAY National Officer of the G. A.R. Tells of the American Sold ier and Things He Has done for the U. S. MANY VETERANS PRESENT AND THEY HEARD HIS ELOQUENT ADDRESS WITH THE GREATE8T INTEREST AMERICA ALMOST IDEAL COUNTRY. "Booze," the subject of the address to made by Rev. "Billy" Sunday, the base ball evangelist, at the Chautauqua assembly this afternoon, assures him a large crowd and perhaps the largest which ever attended a Chautauqua lecture in this city. The Rev. Sunday has appeared here before and hia previous performance ' will only add incentive to his appearance to day. As in days of old when he starred in the outfield, he knows how to whoop 'em up. and he not only has the reputation of delivering an inter esting lecture, but one. of value as well. Undoubtedly he will make reference to his base ball days in his lecture as In other lectures he has told of the careers of his companions while be was in base ball. The Chautauqua has another good card for the evening. Dr. Stanley Krebs who several years ago, stirred up the ministers of the city by his remarks, will speak on the subject, "Three Gods or One." Both the afternoon and the evening programs will Include selections by the Juvenile band and the Orphean Musical club. Rev. Wilson Speaks. Sunday school under the supervision of E. H. Hasemeier will be held at 9:15 o'clock, and at 10:30 o'clock Homer T. Wilson, the national chaplain of the T. P. A. will deliver a sermon. Many local members of the order and others are expecting to hear him. "The Grand Canyon of Arizona," an illustrated lecture by Nat M. Brigham, drew a large crowd last evening. It was particularly Interestlne be cause along with the flne description, the Illustrations furnished splendid reproductions of the beauty of that region. Yesterday afternoon the Grand Army of the Republic held Its celebration with the Rev. Daniel Ryan, the national chaplain of the organization delivering an address. There were a hundred or more veterans and their wives present while there were at least four hundred others who paid close attention. The exercises also included Instrumental and vocal selections by a chorus of children, the Orphean Musical club ' and others. Judge Henry C Fox acted as master of ceremonies. Invocation and benediction were pronounced by visiting ministers. . w Decorate the Tent. The stage was decorated with bunting and small flags. The campers also paid due respect to the veterans who were the guests of the Chautauqua association, by decorating their tents. The Rev. Ryan spoke principally on the American soldiers. He referred to their accomplishments and gave them the credit for the country's present power. Not a war had been fought by the United States but what, he said, some great result has been accomplished. The revolutionary war, primarily resulted in the formation of. twentysix republics. The second war with Great Britain resulted in the bringing

forth of Commodore Perry and his subsequent trip to Japan. That country immediately began to advance toward becoming a world power. ' The civil war restored unity within the nation and declared that republican form of government should live. It cost one million lives but ' brought about suffrage for the negro. The American soldier, the speaker said, is in favor of peace just as much as the Quaker. Many illustrations were given as proof of .this. -The War With Spain. Only once has the United States declared war and then against Spain in 1898, he said. After every war the veterans have gone back to their trades and made records as model citizens. The American soldier loves peace, freedom and prosperity.': The Rev. Ryan spoke of the presidents who served as soldiers. The greatest general and one of the greatest presidents. In the opinion of the Rev. Ryan, was General U. S. Grant. Royalty bowed to him, not he to royalty. His gentleness and kindness won him friends both when directing -the destinies of the union army and when president. . - He referred to the wealth. of the United States today, made possible by 'business which was assured protection by the accomplishments of the civil war veterans. The country today, in comparison with the wealth of other countries, could - purchase Great Britain, or any other European power, and in some Instances, several European nations, be jaid. The . nation's wealth now amounts to $130,000,000.000. . , All the nation's . wealth Is guarded by one soldier to every 12,000 inhabitants while in European countries, one soldier guards from sixteen to fifty inhabitants. . U. S. Nearly Ideal. Optimism is essential in a country's success and development. He believes that within the next fifty years there are greater things in store in this world than - have " ever been dreamed of. He says that this country is ideal In many respects. The value of education was elucidated. .Honesty of public officers was touched on. He declared that there were not nearly as many dishonest office holders as some) would have as . He paid tribute to the surviving soldiers ar wen as to the departed and referred to their sacrifices and toils. Their bravery la battle speaks for itself as no where on exhibition can be found aa American nag which has been captured. NO other cuautoy has a Oka record. He paid tribute to the civil war reterans and eo the Spaaish-Amerlcaa war Tetetansv He says that there te ao necessity for a large standing army.
