Manuel Itonllla Mas still at Ruatan when they left. " "About a doxch shots were fired at us with small arms when we apneured at Ruatan." said one of the Americans who wss aboard, "but the fire was not returned. We could have blown the town up with the modern Runs on the Hornet, but General BonIlia would not allow a shot to be fired. 'As we nearcd the landing the firing erased, and the soldiers threw down Their arms, rractically every resident ttt the bay Islands Is now enrolled in Bonllla's army." T When asked where the Hornet picked up guns and ammunition after her departure from New Orleans every member of the crew declined to answer. One of tho men was asked If the arma were put aboard in Guatemalan territory. "I am not telling where we got thenO he replied. "Anybody with aense knows that some other Government must have aided us, but for the present it must be kept a secret." The gunboat Dolphin sailed from tho Washington Navy Yard for service In Central America. She will go direct to Gauttnamo, Cuba, which will be her base on her new mission, and thence probably will sail for Honduran waters. In caso the revolutionary situation In Honduras warrants it tho Tacoma will be relieved of duty in Central America upon the arrival of the Dolphin.

A CHILD WELFARE EXHIBITION HELD

Object Is to Conserve Citizenship and to Improve City Conditions. (American Sws Service) New York, Jan. 18. No more Interesting or instructive exhibition ever was held in New York is the unanimous opinion expressed by a countless number of men and women who attended the opening of the Child Welfare Exhibit in the Seventy-first Regiment armory today. The exhibition will continue for several weeks. Its purpose, as set forth In the announcement of the promoters is to show "the modern tendency towards scientific child culture on a gigantic scale and the heroic efforts being put forth by thousands of sociological and charitable workers to combat the evil effects of congestion and resultant condition on the children of New York, and to save the city from a weak, unhappy future citizenship." The good and evil features of the moving picture show and its amazing development as a form of social entertainment are demonstrated by exhibits. The candy shop and its effect on the young, the evils of street-corner loafing and the frequenting of public dance halls are shown. Where and how the children in the tenementn districts spend their spare time are shown effectively by means of models and photographs. The brighter side of the exhibition shows suburban and tenement house possibilities, the best methods of purchasing and preparing foods, and the care, proper clothing and training of children. There is also a dazzling toy shop showing the kinds of tpys children ought to play with because of their educational value. Model roof gardens and public playgrounds are also given much attention. BIG DAMAGES ASKED Good Roads Meeting Held Other Eaton Items. (Palladium Special) Eaton, O., Jan. 18. Seeking dam ages in the aggregate sum of $7,850, William Grant and W. E. Brown have filed suit in the common pleas court against the board of county commissioners of Preble county. The affiants declare on December 17 they were operating a traction engine along the raint Creek and Four Mile road on the line between Somers and Gasper townships when the heavy mechanism sank into a six foot gully washed out by a recent rain. Grant declares the engine was damaged beyond repair and asks therefor $800. He also asks to recover $50 the cost of removing the wreckage from the ditch. lie-further alleges internal injunes and a sprained back and wants a $2,000 balm for that. Brown declares he sustained internal injuries, a broken arm and minor hurts, yet asks for $5,000 damages. Attorneys Shuey and Risinger & Risinger brought the action. Use Split-Log Drag. One of the greatest meetings ever held by the Preble county good roads association was the one held Tuesday in Eaton. This fact was due largely to the appearance of D. Ward King of Maitland, Mo. the man who established a world-wide reputation by the invention of the split-log drag, the cheapest and most effective implement on the market for the maintenance of road surfaces. The use of the drag and the results to be obtained were discussed at considerable length by Mr. King. Officers were elected for the ensuing year and a vote was taken .to decide whether of not the annual dues should be reduced from $1.C0 to 50 cents per year. , The. citizens of District 8, Jefferson , township, after petitioning the trustees of that township, have been grant-! ed the privilege of working the roads ' with the split-log drag after methods advocated by Mr. King. Road Supervisor Neanen of that township, asserts that the residents of that particular township have always been to the front in all road matters, and a successful use of the drag is predicted , by him in that district.

BISHOP

IS CONSECRATED ; Rev. Julius Atwood Ordained at Boston Today with Splendid Pomp. (American News Service) ' . Boston, Mass., Jan. IS. With imposing ceremonies in Trinity church today, the Rev. Julius Walter, D. D., of Phoenix, was consecrated missionary bishop of Arizona, under the terms ofy his recent election by tbe General j Convention of the Episcopal church at ' Cincinnati. Bishop-Elect Atwood was j at tended in t he solemn procession by Jthe Rev. Dr. William D. Maxon of De troit, Michigan, and the Rev. Dr. Henry S. Nash, of the faculty of the Cambridge Theological school. Bishop Lawrence, of Massachusetts officiated at the consecration, assisted by Bishop Hall of Vermont, and Bishop Coadjutor Lloyd of Virginia, Bishop Atwood's presenters were Bishop Codman of Maine, and Bishop Lines of New Jersey. The consecration sermon was preached by Bishop Greer of New York. The new bishop is a graduate of the Cambridge theological school in the class of 1882, and was ordained to a deaconate that year by Bishop Paddock and advanced to the priesthood the following year. He was rector of a church in Ipswich, Mass., from 18S2 to 1S87, when he received a call to St. James's church. Providence, where he continued to officiate until 1894. During the succeeding three years he was rector of Trinity church, Columbus. O. Then owing to the illness of his wife. Dr. Atwood went to Arizona and was associated with Trinity church at Proenix until appointedarch-deacon of Arizona.

Bishop Atwood was an intimate friend of the poet Whittier and has written several books on the life and work of the famous poet. LABOR HARD TO DOWN. Crush Unionism and It Rises Stronger Than Before. The management of the Panama-Pacific exposition n San Francisco has been notified by some of the Seattle (Wash.) metal trades employers that they will indorse the great project pro-Tt-ied the management assures them thut the labor in connection with the exposition be of the "open 6hop" order. The progressive (?) business men of the sound city are evidently eager to start a labor fight in San Francisco, which seems to be of more importance to them than the success of the exposition itself. That is a sample of the tactics employed by labor haters In their endeavors to "down the unions." San Francisco can get along without the exposition, as much as it would help the city, but It cannot afford to surrender its union principles. It's about time the opponents of unionism learned the lesson that "downing the unions" is not a successful project. The fact that San Francisco Is a union city today is due to this "downing" project. "Truth crushed to earth will rise again." Crush unionism and it will come up again stronger than before. The crushing process has been going on from the beginning, and the unions have been gaining all the time. If the Seattle metal trades employers want to see 'the exposition a success they had better forget their union crushing suggestion. ' ' Unionism is established in San Francisco and on the Pacific coast. It is here to stay. It will hare to fight, but it will win. It must win. It is a vital necessity to human advancement. And humanity is going to succeed, whether the exposition does or not. Los Angeles Citizen. ENGINEERS' NEW SCALE. Terms on Which Brotherhood and Railroads Agreed.
