liKEES mu UP SOUTH AMERICA Republics Now Have Closer Sympathies Rather Than Fighting Each Other.

CONFERENCE RESULT Rediscovery Results in Construction of Railroads Opportunities. Pittsburg, Nor. 26. South America Is being rapidly Americanised. Dating from the Pan-American conference just concluded at Buenos Aires, the new era is opening in remuwu to m two great continents of the western hemisphere. . Definite plans have been agreed upon to bring both shores of South America in direct, continuous communication with the United States says a writer In the Dispatch. Through an International agreement it is purposed to link together the great ports In a regular system of communication, forming an unbroken chain for comJnerclal ' interchange from Portland. Me., southward around Cape Horn and northward to Seattle. To create this new trade route, all governments concerned are to work In harmony, direct banking and cable service will be established, and a common system of weights and measures adopted to avoid, all loss .of time In handling freight, mall and passengers. In this conference the United States has naturally been a predominant factor. Lewis Nixon of New York served as chairman .of . the . .committee on dcean communication,- which' framed the most Important recommendations. Henry White, former '.American ambassador to Italy, also attended, while Europe was represented, by such distinguished International figures as M. Clemenceau. the former -French premier, and 8. Slgnor Enrico Ferrie, of the Italian chamber of deputies. It Is not generally realized that oneflfteenth of the railroad mileage of the world, or forty thousand miles, stretches across South America, which places It fourth among the world's continents in railroad . development The dream, once so fantastic, of a con- - it I .. ... V I- . iiuuuub rMinmu iiuui iiw iwik iur Instance, to Buenos Aires, Is In a fair way to be realised. The longitudinal route from Panama to the Straits of Magellan has been half built in Chile and Peru and three-tenths of the distance to be traversed In Argentina. The first transcontinental railroad .of Houtn America is already revolutionizing her trade routes, Is 8,888 miles In ' length, and, by piercing the Andes, connect .Buenos Aires on the east with ..Valparaiso on the ' west. The trip "around the horn" between these two ports takes ten or twelve days through the Straits of Magellan. -: y One of pur , most distinct , recollections of the geographies of school days Is a picture of the early Andean railway, llabeled, "The highest In the , world," which crawled across mountain peaks on attenuated trestles. The engineering difficulties of South Amer- . lean , railway building In this region have been almost insurmountable. The transcontinental road climbs to an altitude of 10.000 feet, and at this altitudepierces' the great ; backbone of the continent. The tunnel, 10.380 feet, or about two miles in length, has been rlewed from the mountains. Until ' April last, when the new transcontinental was opened, the Journey was made over the Andes In a caravan, which- wound Its way laboriously over mountain trails, which were ' closed throughout the winter months. The trip overland was made by a large number of American tourists only last year, who visited South American , ports on the cruise of the Bluecher. of the Hamburc-Amerlcan ItnA Whn this cruise Is repeated this year the tourists may make the Journey across the continent In a luxuriously appointed railroad train in SO hours. From the trains crossing the Andes at these astonishing altitudes may be enjoyed some of the finest mountain scenery In the world. The railroad, like many other In South America, was surveyed and built by American and English . firms. ; The wealth of Argentina, In wheat and hides alone, rivaling, even surpassing that of the United States, finds Us outlet in Europe. The southern continent Is a wonderland .for the tourist,' and yet until last year's trip of the Bluecher no considerable stoud of American travelers bad ever cross ed tne equator to the sister continent. And now that the door Is open for the great stream of globe trotting Americana, South America Is being rediscovered. - With the .energetic assistance of the Pan-American conference, the great tide of travel both for tourists and commerce, will ' flow in Increasing volume. Our sister republic of Brazil, 'larger even: than "our own off era unorecedented ammrtnnltlM Klo de Janeiro Is a revelation, with Its population of nearly one million and Its great wealth and' luxury. The most beautiful harbor 'in the world 1 not the least of Its attractions. Rio Is a surprisingly perfect replica of Paris, with Its great boulevards and theaters surpassing any In the United States. Some $ 40.000.000 have been pent In beautifying its' harbor, in which today American merchant ves sels are very rarely seen. One of the moit Important functions of the Pan-American conference was to arrange the International celebration of the opening of the Panama canal. Very wisely the conference devoted Its best efforts, the effects of the canal upon our trade route and sir :' ins them direction. Every one of the ninth American republics - will inevitably be brought etoeer to the Pad- . fie nnd Asiatic market of the United Ctatee. In some ease the route may be shortened by several thousand

International, Wedding

' Result of Chicago, Nov. 26. Speeding across the Atlantic on a fast Cunard liner. Dr. Carl A Johnson, a Chicago dentist, will next week meet and wed a girl in England whom he has never seen, marking the culmination of one of the strangest romances on record. The eyes of .three nations .are upon the youthful American, who is traveling 4,000 miles to wed the girl of his choice. Nine years ago, when returning from a pleasure tour of Europe, Dr. Jacobson, In a spirit of fun, dropped a bottle . containing his professional card, overboard from an Atlantic liner In mid-ocean. Six years later the bottle was washed ashore at a North Wales summer resort and was picked up by Miss Winnie Bradbury of Birmingham, who was, spending a holiday at the sea side resort. . This .was the beginning of the romance. . . Dr. Johnson has an office in this city at 5900 South Halsted street. Inquiry at this address last night elicited but little Information beyond the acknowledgment that the dentist Is now CITY CLERK ASKS FOR All INVENTORY Wants Heads of All Depart ments to Send in Report Soon as Possible.

The clerk will request that the list of city possessions be mailed to his office. As It Is now nearly the end df the year the state board 'of accountants will soon demand a complete Inventory of Clerk Bescher. It is a very Important matter and will be brought before the council at the next meeting, December 5. '..-'''.. ' ; -' The last .inventory was taken in 1908 and was a very unsatisfactory one, it Is 8a Id, for it was returned to the clerk for corrections and severely criticized by the Municipal Research committee. The committee made an examination of city property and claimed that the property value was very much too high and that there were other errors. - Clerk-Bescher believes an entire new inventory should be taken. The 'last Inventory fixed the total value of the possessions of Richmond at $659,202.86 the most important Items of which were: City hall. 831.901.S0; hose houses. $79,429.85; not including the West Side house, recently constructed at a cost of $10,424; electric light plant. $267,49.71; Glen Miller park, $250,000;- other parks, $26,000.

The story was verified by a man In charge of the office. , : "About two years and ,a half ago letters began coming in here from England, addressed to the doctor, the first one inclosing the card dropped from the boat, in 1901," said the office assistant. "At first he read us the letters, taking the affair as a joke, but later his attitude changed and he became serious about it. He thought so much of the card that he had it framedbut took it with him when he left. "Two weeks ago he informed his friends that he was going to be married to the girl across the water and prepared for his journey. He told us that he would return by Christmas with his bride. We have heard nothing from him since his departure." ' Dr. Johnson is a graduate of the University of Michigan, where he was a football hero for two seasons. He is 30 years old, a member of several Chicago clubs and prominent in the younger set of South Side society. His parents reside in Blooming ton. 111.

MAHY DENOUNCES

ALL HYPOCRITES He Says , the Limping and Halting Christian Is Most Despised of Men. Program for the Week. 8:00 p. m., Saturday, three open air meetings on Main street. 2:30 p. nu, Sunday, union services at East Main Street churcb. 7:30 p. m., Sunday, closing service of the union effort. To the limping and halting Christians, and Evangelist Many says Richmond has her full share, there could have been nothing satisfying about the Bermon that was preached by I him last night in the union evangel- J Istic effort at East Main Street ' Friends' church unless they mend their ways. What he had to say about the limping and halting Christians. 1 about the man who tries. to stand; half way between the lines of good and evil, who tries to placate both sides and has not the respect or confidence of either, was not in the least flattering. Such a pretended Christian and others who are not Christians are victims of a moral and spiritual deformity that can only be cured by a full and complete surrender to Christ. The evangelist gave a somewhat striking illustration of the halting and limping specimen by picturing a football game at Earlham college in which one of the players should undertake to play for Earlham for a while and then switch over to DePauw's side. Would Not Be Tolerated. Such a performance as this would not be toleratetd and this player would promptly be thrown out by the disgusted spectators on the bleachers if not by the other players themselves. This is the sort of thing that many Christians are trying to do; they want to appear as Christians part of . the time and the rest they make an effort to get in the dead game sport class. The result Is that other Christians have no faith in them and the real sports hold them in supreme contempt. So the message of the evangelist to his audience was the need of lining up. He declared that "God -has no place in His plan for a limping, halting Christian. It is not his plan to make a sickly Christian who is not satisfied with this, world and who gets no glimpse of the other, I am sorry for the one who has just A enough religion to be uncomfortable." To the mind of the evangelists there are just two classes in this world, and all are members of one or the other. One side,' captained by God, and including Christ, the Holy Spirit, the angels, the redeemed of earth and the innocent children. The other side is captained by the devil and includes all the great host that do the devil's work. This embraces all the men and women who are trafficking with sin. The first side stands for all that is good and pure and holy and the! other for impure thought and word and action, for moral weakness, for greed and cruelty and for hopeless blindness to the truth. There is a great deal of the showy and tinsel about this side. BEAT RECLUSE ON HIS BIRTHDAY Goshen, Ind., Nov. 26. Austin Gillet, a recluse living in a hut in the eastern part .of Elkhart county, was severely beaten by two robbers. ' on Thursday which was his 65th birthday. Gillet formerly carried his money about in a belt, but a year ago he bought a small safe. As he was entering his house he was suddenly assaulted by two men. He was felled to the earth by a blow over the head, and was repeatedly struck after hss was down. He says he has a hazy recollection of tbe men going through his clothes, which they nearly pulled off of him. The robbers found nothing and fled. Gillet revived and crawled to the home of a neighbor who telephoned to the sheriff. Sheriff Ziesel, with deputies at once left for the scene of robbery in automobiles. GOLD COINS FOUND IN SECRET DRAWER London, Nov. 26. From the village of Breamore, Hantz, is reported a discovery of some valuable old coins under very singular circumstances. A rummage sale was recently held on the rectory lawn at which articles collected from the large houses in the parish were sold at very low prices. In the evening tbe remainders were disposed of by Dutch auction, and this lot included an old writing desk, which was secured for $5. The purchaser took the box home and took little notice of It until a relative happened to up roughly and a secret drawer flew open. The drawer contained 30 gold coins, guineas, half guineas and quarter guineas of George Ill's reign. The box and Its contents have since been returned to its original owner. Babies In India. In India the baby rides in a basket which hangs from its mother's head or in a hammock bung from her hi pa. Sometimes the baby's nose is adorned with a nose ring, and In some parts its face Is wrapped in a veil like Its mother's. The Chinese baby Is tied to the back of an elder child. Strangest of all, the mother in Guinea buries ber baby up to its waist in sand, and that Is the only cradle the baby ever knows.

DELICATE MATTER When Is a Canine Not a Canine. When is a dog not a dog In the eyes of the' law? is a question which was argued seriously in the circuit court on Saturday morning by attorney W.' A. Bond, in an effort to have Judge' Fox quash an affidavit against Chamberlain, charged with killing a dog belonging to Joseph Smith, on June 11. Tbe court has taken the case under advisement, giving as his explanation for this action, that he has not yet examined the "dog. j An affidavit charging Smith with malicious trespass was filed in the justice of the peace court of David Fouts, at Williamsburg and in the trial Chamberlain was found guilty. He immediately appealed to th . circuit court. In 'addition to being fined tl court found Smith, the owner of the1 dog, had been damaged in the sum of i $10.. ' ' ' ' -j A dog is not a dog in the eyes of the law when it is not listed for taxation and therefore an owner of such a dog cannot recover damages was the argument put to the court. The court was further asked to quash the affidavit because Chamberlain did not commit a public offense, was justified legally, and the affidavit did not state with sufficient certainty the nature of the offense. EDITOR COMPLETELY LOSES HIS MEMORY Ft. Wayne, Ind., Nov. 26. Follow ing a successful surgical operation at Chicago for the removal of a tumor from the brain, Jesse V.

Physicians say that Taylor must now begin to learn as a little child would, and that it will be necessary to start anew in teaching him. Physically he Is as well as ever, but there is small hope of his complete mental recovery.

NO MATRIMONY; ONLY DUTY FOR DANCERS New York, Nov. 26. There are not many persons who have the luck to be In love with their work, but Maria Baldlna, premiere danseuse of the group from the ballet of the Imperial opera house In Moscow, who are appearing now in New York at the Colonial theater, is one of the fortunate few who are. And a good thing It Is for her that she feels that way. for

the members of the Imperial ballet are apprenticed to the Russian government when they are children and are not permitted to marry until they reach tbe age of 34, when they are pensioned and free to retire. - Till then dancing must be all in all to them. "But we do wish to marry . Why should we wish to marry?' laughed Mile. Baldlna. Theodor Kosloff. her coleader of the troupe, and Mile. Mendes and the rest of the dancers, who had crowded into the dressing room, laughed too. . "Hundreds of children," M, Kosloff continued, are brought by their parents or guardians to try for a chance to enter the Imperial ballet at Moscow. Only a few are accepted. - These are put at once under careful training, and what that training does for the body is shown In the famous old danc ing teachers of Moscow. Professor Christian Saganson, who. at the age of 94, Is still teaching and as supple In all his joints as a young boy." "I would say to every one who has children," broke In Mile. Baldlna In her rapid French, "have your children learn dancing. .There is no excuse so good to give freedom and grace of movement or to harden the body."

TO SETTLE ESTATE . Assets jof the estate of Ann Strickland, deceaser, as represented In the personal property of the decedent were insufficient to meet the liabilities and Mary G.
