RURALITIES KNOW A POORJIIIISTER City Preachers Realize that Brains Count Wherever They May Go.

Chicago, March 23. "When you go to preuch In the country take along your best normon; when you go to preach In the city xut on your best coat." Thl well known proverb found champions among Chicago preachers who formerly had been rural preachers and who resented the utatement which came from the rural church ronfereneo hald on Monday In Decatur 1n which Ihnn J. II. Skinner of Purdue university, was quoted hm saying that the rural preacher "la tho moet conKplcuous back number in the- country today," and K. While Allen, prntiideiit of tho Mason county farmers' institute, was quoted as saying that the rural ministers were reniioiitrible for tho social, religious and educational backwardness of the farmers. The pastors resented likewise the statement "if rural preachers should Attend the agricultural college and fit himself for a 11,500 position he would not. be content to preach for $000. "It Is a fact," said the lie v. Frank D. Sheets, pastor of the South Park Methodist Episcopal church, "that one occasionally finds a farming community In which there aro college graduates among tho farmers and u backward, poorly educated man in the pulpit, but as a sweeping statement the assertion Is false that the rural preachers keep back the progress of the farming community." Back Numbers Everywhere. "Thero aro back numbers and unproKrcsslva men in every profession," said tho Rev. John A. Karl, pastor of tho Ilcldon Avenuo Baptist church. They are not confined to the country, either. I was a country preacher for a period of years. I organized a literary society among my young people that was of th-highest type. The Grange, the farmers' organization optilar at that time, was held In our church. I know a minister now in Minnesota who prefaces the country to the city, and ho is the most Inspiring Influence in all the entire country-aide."

HAS REAL BONEHEAD

5 Minutes for X-ray to Pierce "Atria's" Dome.

(American News Service) s San -Francisco. March 23. Jack Johnson's skull Is as thick and strong us that of a stockyards steer. The same kind of a blow that would kill the atecr probably would not do more than lay Johnson out. This was discovered when the heavyweight champion submitted to an

X-ray picture. It took Ave minutes for the light from the machine to pen

etrate his skull and make an I in pros

alon on a plate. Surgeons say his ukull measures from one-half to twothirds of an Inch thick. It Is built to

'withstand all save the blow- of a steel projectile.

Johnson will be tried for speeding Again today and it Is probable he will receive a Jail sentence. He was arrested with J. M. Purge, agent of the Simplex Motor car company for speeding.

EQUITY CASE STILL DRAGGING IN COURT The proceduro In equity in the Wayne circuit court, Craighead riumblng and Electrical company against A. H. Rrown. owner of the Westcott hotel building, demand $10.. 000. Is progressing very slowly and undoubtedly will require a week or wore beforo all evidence Is Introduced, Already almost two weeks have been consumed In the trial. The evidence of the plumbing company has not been Introduced, being delayed because of the enormous amount of detail which enters Into the Introduction of evidence. Witnesses are being recalled frequently. A procedure in equity is somewhat different from the ordinary civil procedure. The plaintiff company had the contract for general repairs to the Westcott hotel in 1910. but the owner or the building refused to pay the amount of the demand, claiming It was much too high.

PLAN TO INCREASE REVENUE OF ROADS ( American News Service) Chicago. March 23. A new plan to Increase their revenues without formally Increasing freight rates Is under consideration by railroads centering In Chicago today and it is possible some action will be taken on the now project In the near future. The plan Is to assess a charge of 2 cents a hundred points on the stopping of freights at intervals for storage purposes and then re-shipping at the original through rate from the point of origin. The roads claim they perform four terminal services, while a rate usually contemplates but two terminals.

GETS DELAYED PAY Pardon Innocent Prisoner with 2 Week's Wage.

Pittsburg, Pa., March 23. Andrew

Toth, Just released from the Western

penitentiary after 20 years imprisonment for the murder of Michael Quinn

at Iiraddock, of which crime he has

been proved innocent, will receive from the Carnegie Steel company at Draddock a pay envelope this week

containing $28 which he earned before

his ImpriBonment. The steel company will not only send' a personal representative to Toth, who is now with his four sons in Rraddock, to t?l.e him the Jong overdue wakes, but will add 4 per cent, interest, cornM)iindcd semi-annually for 20 years, to the amount, making a total of about $t2. Toth was employed In the Carnegie steel plant before the crime was committed, lie bad two week's pay coming to him when he was looked up as Implicated in the murder and never given an opportunity to receive his pay until he was set free Saturday morning. Andrew Carnegie, it is said, will be appealetl to in an effort to h;rve a pension an'd a sum of money procured from the Steel corporation as a recompense for his false imprisonment. Toth. who earned for himself the sobriquet of "Praying Andy" among his fellow prisoners because of his religious fervcr and his trust in providence, passed an eventful Sunday at the home of his sons. He attended two services at Sa. Michael's Slavish Catholic church and received a number of friends. Toth is now arranging to go to his wife, whom he has not seen for 25 years, In Hungary. He will visit with his sons for several weeks and then go back to his native country.

Terrific Assault Was Renewed; San Marcos Now Twisted Steel

An Unreasonable Friend. Several young artists in Philadelphia are telling a story on another wielder of tho brush who is a fellow member In a little club. One of the rules of the club is that each member must keep his finished paintings up to a certain number. The artist on whom the story Is told Is noted for his Indolence. He keeps up to the requirement regarding tho number, but never exceeds It. But for his distaste for work the artist probably would be very comfortably fixed financially, as he has considerable talent. As a matter of fact, lie la usually on the edje of penury. Several days ago, w hen his exchequer was unusually low. a friend visited hltn in bis studio. The friend looked at several of the paintings, while the artist lay on a couch, smoking a pipe. 'I like this." the friend finally said, pointing to one of them. lie named a good price which he was willing to pay. The artist looked at him mournfully. "Aw. don't do that." he said. "If you do I'll have to paint another." Philadelphia Times.

Ft. Monroe. Va.. March 23. Oni

Board Torpedo Boat Strlnghani, Lower. Chesapeake Bay. Again Wednes-; day bright and early, the battleship New Hampshire rained shells on the old battleship San Marcos, once the Texas, while 12 other warships of the Atlantic fleet stood by and their officers watched the bombardment. There was the sam! remarkable precision that marked the shooting Tuesday by the New Hampshire's gunners, and resulted in the sinking of the famous tship, which had won honors at the battle of Santiago. All that was left of her was a mass of twisted nu tal and jagged armor. During the night tugs worked on the ruins of tho vessel. Collision mats covered many of her gaping holes

and after much hauling and pulling the tims succeeded in sending her arotina into the mud on which the keel rested, so as to present a broadside as a tar

get. The range today, like that during the splendid exhibition Tuesday averaged about six miles. These further experiments were designed to determine the effective explosive power of the new dynamite. Ordnance officers avoided advancing any opinions, but there was apparently general surprise at both the remarkable gunnery of the New Hampshire's men and the frightful havoc wrought by the new shells. Tho New Hampshire had been selected for the test because her guns, wsich were not considered up to the standard, were to be replaced, which makes the record scored by the gunners aboard that vessel all the more noteworthy. Some animals and chickens on board the target vessel were killed by the interior explosions. Some of the animals, however, were unharmed. A cat walked quietly out of one of the turrets, the base of which lias been smashed by a twelve-inch shell. No efforts will be made to raise the San Marcos. It would cost several hundred thousand dollars to float the ship and restore her to her original condition, and she Is not worth it. Secretary Meyer, who was a witness of the tests, expressed himself today

as gratified with the result. The officers on the ship entertained themselves noting the speed of the twelveinch shells. Most of the watches indicated that it required two seconds for a mile flight. The initial mile was made at the rate of 3,200 feet per second, or a little more than three-fourths of a mile per second. After the firing was concluded the

officers of the fleet went aboard the San Marcos to inspect the damage. She was deep in the mud and the water rose to a point midway between the gun deck and the berth deck. One shell went clear through the old battleship, tearing an open path about two feet wide. One of the military masts was cut away and the other was riddled. The conning tower, or battle command station, was badly damaged.

The first municipal lodging house for women in England was opened recently in Manchester through the efforts of Miss Margaret Ashton, a member of the municipal council.

MOORES JSMARSHAL Lee as Internal Revenue Collector, the Plan.

(American News Service) Washington, March 23. For United States marshal, district of Indiana, Merrill Moo res of Indianapolis. For Internal revenue collector, Sixth (Indianapolis) district, Edwin M. Lee of Lawrenceburg. This is the proposed solution of a long fight over Indiana rederal patron

age, that is under consideration at the White House today. Crumpacker was a caller on the president and Charles P. Taft is here urging Lee ba given a first class job. The only apparent hitch in the program is the unwillingness of Moores to accept the office of marshal. The president offered the place to Moores when he came to Washington to attend a dinner given, by the president at the White House to his class at Yale. Moores then declined but it is believed If the president asks him as a special favor to accept the office in the interest of party hap mony Moores would take it. Beveridge would have nothing to complain of in this arrangement, a both men are his particular Mends.

Ancient Bridge Superstition. A primitlvo notion existed among the Romans and other races that a brldjro was an offense and injury to the river god. ns It saved people from being drowned while fording or swimming across and robbed the deity of a certain number of victims which were his due. Tor many centuries In Rome propitiatory offerings of human victims were made every year to the Tiber. Men and women were drowned by being bonnd :ind flung from the wooden Sifbllclan bridge, which, till nearly the end of the republican period, was the one and only bridge across tho Tiber In Rome.
