THE EVANGELISTIC SERVICES'.lost on Sunday—But Rowing Meetings

Yet to be Held.

The revival services at the BaptistChurch are still In progress with nowaning of either Interest or attend-ance. Slice ftmr last week's Issuethere have been several remarkablemeetings and many results. Themeetings for young ladies and unmar-ried women only last Saturday at 3:30p. m. was largely atended and so sat-isfactory that, yielding to repeated re-quests' for Its repetition, another wiltbe held at the same time next Batur-day. The same Is true of the. men'smeeting also, an^ another will be heldat 3:30 next Sunday.

Last Sunday the congregations whichgreeted the evangelist were large andenthusiastic. At the evening servicethe auditorium. was overflowing withpeople and -several took a decidedstand for Christ. Monday night'sstorm did not hinder a nice companyfrom gathering at'the church and atthe close not a person remained whohad not accepted the Christ. Tuesdayevening the church was again full andon Wednesday probably the most won-derful service of the series thus farwas held. At the close of a strikingaddress on the subject- of "Victory,"twenty-five young ladles marched tothe, platform and prayed, sang and wit-nessed for Christ. Then for a fewminutes, the congregation testified,several being on their feet and speak-ing'together. After this the Invitationwas given and a large .number re-sponded. Mr. Depfer called for thosewho had been converted in the meet-Ings to come forward and take him bythe hand. These then stood.In al inewhich reached across, the church, andas the last act of the church, weregreeted and, given words of encour-agement by/the members of the'con-gregation.

The Bible studies In the afternoonhave been most Interesting and profit-able and all are regretting the factthat, this week concludes them. Mr.Depfer's visit to Dover will be longremembered and .all should be,presentIf- It Is at all possible, at the remain-Ing services Remember the specialmeeting on Saturday for the. youngladies and on Sunday for, men. Therewill be no Saturday evening servicebut Mr. -Depfer may be heard In bothsong and sermon at 10:30 a. m. .and7:30 p. m. Sunday. Sunday night'smeeting will be the last.

ROCKAWAY DETECTIVESCAPTURE SUSPECTS.

Constables^Dobblns and Tucker, ofRockawsy, and Hiler, of Boonton, onSunday captured Arisen Farrand,George Ca'saimore, of Boonton, andGeorge Beddow, of Rockaway.

Two of these men are supposed tobe the ones vrtio robbed the store ofE. W. Dawson In Boonton, while tnethird Beddow, In whose shanty theywere found, Is supposed to be thefence.

The Dawson store at Boonton wasrobbed on November 2», the thievestaking ten guns valued at 1260randtwenty.flve revolvers, ivalued at -|100,besides various smaller goods thatcould not be enumerated..

Evidently the men, after robbing thestore had come to Rockaway, makingtheir home with Beddow. The latterkeeps a small Jjink yard and is a heat-er in rolling mills, when he can getwork, but has lived a sort of handto mouth existence since the mill atRockaway closed.

Farrand and Casslmore while livingwith Beddow thought to turn theirrecently acquired arsenal Into cash,but this prqved their undoing. Theyhad disposed of two guns and werearranging a sale with Frank Hazen,of Rockaway. The story Is told thatHazen did not have the requisiteamount of money and tried to borrowof J. H. Miller, also of Rockaway.Miller questioned somewhat and learn-ed of the guns which were apparentlynew and to be sold cheap. He atonce telephoned to Boonton and Daw-son and Hiler came to Rockaway,where with Dobbins and Tucker- thecapture was. made.

The majesty of the .law went to the'Beddow shanty and with drawnf're-yolvers demanded Instant surrender.One man promptly dived under abunk while the others meekly held uptheir hands and - were hand-cuffed.Casslmore "Sfter being hand-cuffed, hadthe audacity to "ease" one of the con-stables and got knocked down for hispains. All three prisoners were taken'to the Rockaway Town Hall, whereJustice' Gage, of Dover, gave them ahearing, and committed them to thecounty jail. ' '

The prisoners, the justice said,cursed their captors In language variedand picturesque. -."'

TROLLEY CAR TRIESTO VSE CENTRAL TRACKS.

Three construction cars on the newsection of the trolley line air but ranoff'the tracks on to the Central Rail-road tracks this week. A light pas-senger car was taking: two heavilyladen dirt cars down Dlckerson's. hillwhen the, cars apparently (ot beyondcontrol and ran into the bumper blockon the tracks. The block was pushedalong some feet but held enough tokeep the cars on the track.

The work of erecting the concreteabutment* for the bridge over theCentral Railroad tracks Is progressingrapidly and a service to Rockawaywill shortly be In working order.

rtig repast and there were covers laidpat as many more, the severe storm

J keeping a number away. With thei tag end of the supper came an hour' or two of entertainment with remarks

by members and others and musicalselections.

President Singleton made a few re-marks of welcome and spoke on tnetopic "The Influence or Power of theWill." He set forth several examplesof what had In years gone by beenaccomplished by one man's will quot-ing' historical events. Coming tosomething more recent Mr. Singletonsaid the present Imposing edifice wasdue to one man's will, Edwin J. Ross,the chairman of the building commit-tee at the time the greater parf oftbe work was done on the church, Kealso said 'twas one man's will -thatformed the present club.

ONE SCARE, ONE ACCIDENT

DefMcft Gels Fool in' Switch-log.Breads Swayze's leg.

The Lackavvanna Railroad at thisplace was the scene of two accidentsthis week 'twenty-four hours apart—or rather one accident and what mightJiave been a fatal mishap.

On. Monday night as the Chestertrain due here at 6:58 o'clock, blewfor the whistle, William Dletrlck, theyoung son "-of Mr. and Mrs. CharlesDletrlck, of Blackwell street, startedacross the track near the itatlon. Theengineer had blown for tbe signal andthe towerman was throwing theswitches, when young Deitrlck steppednto the space between the switch rail

and the track. The switch'closed likea vise and the lad wa» held prisonerwith the train bearing down on himfrom the curve above Warren street.People turned their heads In horrorwhile the more level headed started tostop.the train and others to the towerto have the operator open the switch.The engineer of th train heard theyells and stopped the train, else thelad must surely have been ground un-der the engine.

Just twenty-four hours later Will-am Swayze, a laborer, sustained a

broken leg while at work in the Lack-awanna freight yards,

ze with some others In the em-ploy of John Woodhull were loading acar with telephone pales with the aidof a horse and a^'lncllne plane. A loggot loose In some way and rolled downthe Incline at, a. terrific raje, strikingBwayie on the left leg, breaking It intwo places. He was temporarily caredfor and-was then taken to the Memo-rial Hospital, at Morrlstown.

THE EVANGELISTIC SERVICESClose on Sunday—Bui Sousing Meetings

Vet lo be HtU.

The revival services at the BaptistChurch are still In progress with nowaning of either interest or attend-ance. Slice }>ur last week's Issuethere have been several remarkablemeetings and many results. Themeetings for young ladles and unmar-ried women only last Saturday at 8:30p. m. WaB largely atended arid so sat-isfactory that/yielding to repeated re-quests' for Its repetition, another willbe- held at the same time next Satur-day. The same Is true of the men'smeeting also, and another will be heldat 3: SO next Sunday.

Last Sunday the congregations whichgreeted the evangelist were large andenthusiastic. At the evening servicethe auditorium. waB overflowing withpeople and -several took a (decidedstand .tor Christ. Monday night'sstorm did not hinder a nice companyfrom gathering at the church and aIthe close not a person remained whahad not accepted the Christ. Tuesdayevening the church was again full andon Wednesday probably the nipst wonderful service of the series thus farwas held. At the close of a strikingaddress on the subject- of "Victory,"twenty-five young ladles marched tothe, platform and prayed, sang and wit-nessed for Christ. Then for a fewminutes, the congregation testified,several being on their feet and speak-ing together. After this the Invitationwas given and a large 'number re-sponded. Mr. Depfer called for thosewho -had been converted in the meet-Ings to come forward and take him bythe hand. These then stood In a linewhich reached across the church, anda3 the last act of th'e church, 'weregreeted and given words" of encour-

prlmarlfeswere' agement by; the members jif;tthe\con-gregatlon.

The Bible studies In the afternoonhave been most Interest Ing and profit'able and all are regretting the "factthat this week concludes them. Mr.Depfer's visit to Dover will be longremembered and .all should be,present,If It is at all 'possible, at the remain-Ing services. Remember the specialmeeting on Saturday for the,youngladles and on Sunday for, men; Therewill be no Saturday evening servicebut Mr. Depter may be heard in bothsong and sermon at 10:30 a. m. and7:30 p. m. Sunday. Sunday night'smeeting will be the last.

ROCKAWAY DETECTIVESCAPTURE SUSPECTS.

Constables Dobbins and Tucker, ofRockaway, and Hiler, of Boonton, onSunday captured Anson Farrand,George Ca'ssimore, of Booreton, andGeorg« Beddow, of Rockaway.

Two of these men are supposed tobe the ones Who robbed the store ofE. W. Dawson in Boonton, while thethird Beddow, in whose shanty theywere found, Is supposed to be thefence.

The Dawson store at Boonton wasrobbed on November 29, the thievestaking ten guns valued at $260; anatwenty-five revolvers, ivalued at |100,besides various smaller goods thatcould not be enumerated..

Evidently the men, after robbing thestore had come to Rockaway, makingtheir home with Beddow. The latterkeeps a small junk yard and Is a heat-er In rolling mills, When he can getwork, but has lived a sort of handto mouth existence since the mill atRockaway closed.

Farrand and Casslmore while livingwith Beddow dhought to turn theirrecently acquired arsenal Into cash,but this prqved their undoing. Theyhad disposed of two guns and werearranging a sale with Frank Hazen,of Rockaway. The story Is told thatHazen did not have the requisiteamount of money and tried to borrowof J. H. Miller, also of Rockaway.Miller questioned somewhat and learn-ed of the guns which were apparentlynew and to be sold cheap. He atonce telephoned to Boonton arid Daw-son and Hller came to Rockaway,where with Dobbins and Tucker thecapture was. made.

The majesty of the lew went to theb d o w shanty and with drawnjgre-volvers demanded Instant surrender.One' man promptly dived under abunk while the others meekly held tiptheir hands and - were hand-cuffed.Casslmore "alter being hand-cuffed, hadthe audacity to "?ass" one of the con-stables and got knocked down for hispains. All three prisoners were taken'to the Rockaway Town Hail, whereJustice' Gage, of Dover, gave them ahearing, and committed them to thecounty jail. '

The prisoners, the justice said,cursed their captors, in language variedand picturesque.

TROLLEY CAR TRIESTO USE CENTRAL TRACKS.

Three construction cars on the newsection of the trolley line all but-rahoff'the tracks on to the Central Rail-road tracks this week. : A light pas-senger car was taking two* heavilyladen dirt cars down Dlckereon's. nilwhen the. care apparently got beyondcontrol and ran Into'the bumper blockon the tracks. The block was pushedalong some feet but held enough tokeep the cars on the track.

The work of ereoting the concreteabutments for the bridge over theCentral Railroad tracks Is progressingrapidly and a service to Rockawaywill shortly be in working order.

PRESBYTERIAN SOCIETY

Of Succasunna Holds Very Interesting Ses-

sion Last Thursday.

Succasunna had a red-letter day inher missionary life on Thursday, De-cember 1. 'Mrs. Dr. Arkman, of Madi-son, who was present at the organlza-lon of the Succasunna Presbyterian

Boclety twenty-seven years ago, andat the organization of the PresbyterlalSociety twenty-four years ago, camewith Mrs. J. C. Cashing, ot East Or-ange, the president of the PresbyterlalSociety of Morris and Orange; MissKatherine Storrs, the secretary; alsoMrs. Sydney Smith, of Dover, record-ing secretary, and Mrs. Gardiner, ofChester, one of the vice presidents;also a number of the societies andvice presidents, Including Mrs. Dr.Bennett and Mrs. Dr. Halloway, ofDover, who brought with them fortymembers of the Dover society. Ches-ter was represented by ten; Flandersby the pastor and his Wife and twostage loads of the friends; Mt. Free-dom sent a large delegation and Mend-ham and Mine Hill added to the num-ber.

The ladles who came early hadlunch at the parsonage. The after-noon tea was served in the chapel,two hundred sitting down at one time.

The exercises In the church were'specially Interesting. Mrs. Marsh, aformer president, gave the word ofwelcome, the president, Mrs. Dr Ad-Bit, being, to our great sorrow, de-tained by illness. Mrs. Marsh wasvery happy In her allusions to thePresbyterlal Society, making this pil-grimage through its representatives toits birthplace, Illustrating this -home-coming by the gathering of householdcircles, and the .welcome given to themunder the old roof tree.' Mrs. Marshmost cordially welcomed the gueste.

Mrs. Cushlng replied very felicit-ously and gave words of sound coun-sel In her winning manner. Mrs. Fan-nel, of FlanderB, sang. Miss Storrsgave the report she had read at theBresbyterlal meeting at Summit. ThenDr, Stoddard came In for a word ofencouragement and the company ofOrientals filed up the aisle and salutedthe congregation, after paying theirrespects to Mrs. Cushlng, to whom theypresented the flags of their respectivenationalities. 'There were twelve ofthem—the Syrian bride, woman ofDamascus, indoor and outdoor dressof the Turkish women, the Parsee, theHindu, the Chinese, the Japanese, thewomen of Slam, the Arabian sheik,the Persian mullah and the Turkishlad.

After a little Introduction one byone they passed out and the guestsfollowed to the chapel for the after-noon tea. The favors' were little turkeys and flags of the countries studiedthis month; and little doves met andornamented the large cakes.

The religious uplift and the socialinterchange made the occasion one ofgreat interest and profit.

The Union Times now numbersamong its readers all the people oNetcong who are deairable as custom-ers or citizens, together with a largepercentage of the best people of Stan-liope, Port Morris, Landing and Ledgre-Tvood, with quite a number )n thesurrounding country.—Netcong UnionTimes. _

Better get rid of the undesirableones, Brother Eaton. If they are not-wanted as customers or citizens surelyyour town can spare them and thenthe Union Times wouldn't be compell-ed to admit you had such people.

Sheriff Herbert W. Johnson, ofCamden, has forwarded his resignationto Governor Murphy, although he hasbeen less than at month elected to anoffice paying about $25,000 annually forthree years. Ill health Is given by Mr.Johnson aa the reason for his resig-nation, but friends declare the realreason la his Inability to satisfy him-self that he can conscientiously per-form several hangings which are Inprospect In Camden.

The number of people,Who do notTielieve In capital punishment Is rap-Idly increasing and there are some whobelieve that the Legislature, In thisState will this winter "Vote to discon-tinue It In future.

"The Tidings" earnestly solicits that^those who send in news Items for pub-lication to be careful not to confound"the words "eve" and "evening." Dur-ing the past week we received severalletters in which the writers meant totell us of occurrences on Thanksgivingevening, but they wrote "eve." Forthe information of those who need in-struction we would say that "eve"means the night before and "evening"the night after the day. People oughtto be more careful In writing and thusavoid confusion and disappointments.Remember "Christmas eve" is thenight before Christmas day ana Christ-mas evening the night, after Christmas.Have we stated the trouble plain

A new development in the case wasthe appearance of two additional de-tectives at the hotel.. They were mem-bers of the New York city detectivebureau. They declined to tell for whomthey were acting or what occasionedtheir presence in the hotel.

Just before noon a hurried summonswas sent to Dr. Moore, Mrs. Ctrafl-wlek's physician, asking him to coll athe New Amsterdam hotel at once. No

information could tie obtained as tothe reason for the summons.

Whether or not arrests will be madeIn connection with the .use of AndrewCarnegie's name In the huge financialoperations of Mrs. Chadwlck: dependsupon the report.which F. V. Oldham.nttdrney for the receiver of the.de-funct Citizens' NntiouBl bank of Ober-ln, 6., and personal representative ot

On u hazy, warm breezed India:lummer day a buutsumn trod throug!the thickly grown brutJli thut bordereithe country rond. Ouce or twice hStopped and looked about in uppreciirtloii of tbe duy uud tUe beauty of th<country. Thcu he lighted u tiger, tossIng the mutch aside before it was exttnguished. By the time he hud valahed fioni view the half spent mute]bad accomplished a rivulet of lire thai

„ ran merrily through die brush whlolIklrted the-wooda.

Mabel Wallace, coming down the olisawmill road, saw tbe crackling fln•nd hastened her pace. She noted tbiquickening breeze blowing toward thiWooda and the stretch of dry, parchec(ram and brush that Intervened. Sheknew that IT the flames were not extin-guished at once the whole piece ofwoods would go. She caught up a stoui•tick as Bhe ran, and when she reachectbe farther end of the running tire sb.began a vigorous beating.

"Bay, teacher, I'll Help you," squeaked» piping voice, which she recognized asbelonging to tbe boy In the First Head•r class, next to the foot.

"Johnny, run flown to tbe Drat wbltihouse beyond the woods nud tell themto send help. They hare a telephone.Ask them to notify all the neighbors,•he directed between bents.

Johnny was relui-tant to leave u bon-fire of such proportions as this was as-suming, but be detected the "teacher"in her tones aud concluded to obey.

"That's the stuff!" she next heard•nd looked up to meet the approval o:tbe farmer at whose house sbe boarded

He procured a stick aud made an ef-fective onslaught upon the fluinea.Presently they were re-enforced by a

—passerby, and after u time the lire wasextinguished.

"You beat go home aud rest a spell,"counseled ber landlord. "You look - albet up and tuckered out"

"It was pretty warm work," sbe ac-knowledged, arranging ber hair, whichthe breeze and her exertions bad turn-

: bled about ber face."Well, I tell you what, you Just

w wived them woods, all right. Tbe own-er ought to make you a nice present,"

Mabel laughed."Wbo la tbe owner?" sbe asked cant

"HI* name Is Max Thornton. He'sa young city swell, I heard say."

Sbe had Inserted the last hairpin- and now started (or home with burnedface and blistered bands.

Meanwhile Johnny, returning fromthtj wnlte bouse, heard a shot ring outla the woods.

' "I'll git him to come and help teach-er," he thought as he scurried throughthe cool woods after the man behindthe sun.

"flay, tbe .woods Is pretty near onlire. It's mos' crep' up on 'cull"'The man laughed good naturally.

"Do you think I am in any danger?""The woods lsl Teacher sent me for

: help. Bhe Is beating It out with a•tick."

"All right! Come along." And the. man made for the road In long strides,

the boy keeping pace by a quick trot,explaining with many elaborations theparticulars of the flre.

"My] Teaclier was Jest more thanlaytn' on to It with a stick. I nevers'posed she could hit .out like that I"

"Hasn't she laid it on to you yet?"• laughed the bunter.

' "Naw. She ain't teched one on usJit. I bet the boys would behave Ifthey'd seen ber beat that flr^."

The bunter was occupied \tor a mo-' ment with conjuring the Image of, "teacher hlttln' the Ore."..-.." "Snj, young man, has your teacher

"I Just felt i t"When tbe hunter came up to tbe

men, he said to tbe farmer. -"I came to help put out a flre, but I

see yon have done good work," gatingat the blackened ground. •

"We only got here to the tall end ofIt," explained the farmer. "The schoolteacher got here Brat, and abe Ot it likea tiger.' Guess some of you hunters

' ajet It on fire."(. The hunter laughed aud walked on,

remembering tbe match, hut lie felt• no compunction*. "A man has the

right to set flre to his own if he wantsto," he thought "Suppose It' would

- be only decent in rue to go and thank!. the nehoolma'am. Wonder how I can

make her a substantial token of grati-tude without offense?"

"Here, boyl" he tnrnsd and called toJohnny, who lingered near the ruins."Po you want to earn a quarter?"

Then lie thought of thistruggling, sordid existence of thiischooliutt'um. I11 his mind's eye hipictured her—lank, gawky and spectncied, beating the names.

"Even at that," he thought, "she limore to be loved than a woman wintailed poverty. Faith, I believe I'llmarry the schoolma'am and nettlidown to a country life if she'll bavme."

A turn into a lane brought themto the little scboolhouse, and Johnn;looked in through the open door.

"She's In there," he said."All right. You needn't come. Much

obliged." JVheu be entered the schoolroom, which was darkened, he dltnlydiscerned a form at a desk on the plat-form. Her head was resting, wearilyon the big dictionary.

"I beg your pardon. I came to thankyou for saving my pjroperty."

l ie had come nearer now. She liltedher bead, and he saw her.

"Mnbel!" he gasped."I didn't know," sbe said coldly,

"that It was your property I WUB Bav-Ing until afterward, but of course 11made 110 difference."

"Mabel! You, a schoolteacher, here—why?"

"Because," she answered bitterly, "Inthat panic In which you pretended tohave lost your fortune my father IBsevery cent he had."

"I wish you'd tell me all about It," hesaid remorsefully.

"There's uot much to tell. Justfather had broken the news of our loseto me your letter came. I showed it thim. He said it was not true, sothought It a ruse—that you had heardof our reverses and did not want towed a pauper."

He groaned and attempted to speak,but she hastily continued:

'Father went west to look ufter somclaim he thought be bad out there, andI came here to teach. That Is all."

"No; not all. Listen," he cried. Betold ber of the remarks, bis test, bisdeparture and Ignorance of ber loss.

"Forgive me, Mabel, and take meback."

No," she said proudly. "You didn'tbelieve in my love: *>u had to put itto a paltry, test"

He was thinking hard for the rightthing to say.

"Then let me woo you again, not asthe Mabel Wallace I knew In NewYork, but as the country schoolteacherto whom I came Just now with a heartfull of admiration for her kind heartand stout arm. Mabel, look upl You'vebeen crying!" i_

'No.- It was the smoke from tbeflre," she said confusedly; "and myhands—see!"

She held out for his inspection tworetained palms.

He seized them and pressed them tohis lips and, then—well, then, Johnnycame running In.

"Ob, g'wan," he said to Thornton.'You know'd her all the time and pre-

tended you Jest guessed at her havinred hnlr and specs,"

Thornton laughed happily as he lookedat the soft,'squirrel colored hair andthe eyeglasses. "Well, I meant differ-ent red and specs, but I do know her."

"Be you her beau?""Yes, I am her beau, and you'll havenew teacher. Here, take this for tell-

ing me of the fire." And he gave thedelighted boy a silver dollar.

On tbe threshold Johnny paused,"Bay, teacher, I cum to tell you tliar

wu'u't no one to hum at.the whitehouse!" •

fair young thing, "I will tell you thatI do not fear mice."

"That Is nice," said the prospectivegroom.

"And," continued the fiancee, "I candrive nails without: hitting my thumb,and I know how to use a paper cutterwithout ruining a book, and I can adda row of figures without making aseparate sum for each consecutive fig-ure, and I can build a flre, and I cantell wben a picture Is hung straighton the wall," y

RETVIZAN BADLY BATTERED.

Observed to Be Li»tina Heavily—ThaBayan Aground — Many 8helli Ex-plod* on Other Warships — MoreHeight* Taken by Beiiegers.

Tokyo, Dee. 7.—The commander ofthe Japanese naval guns lu frout ofPort Arthur telegraphs as follows:

"An observation taken from TwoHundred and Three Meter hill showsthat the turret ship Poltava la sunkand that the battleship Ketvizan Is list-ing heavily to port.

"Since Dec. 2 we have daily bom-barded the enemy's fleet lying southof Palyu mountain. From that pointonly the masts and funuol topa of thebattleships Pobleda, Rotvlzan or thecruiser Palluda could be seen, and itwas Impossible to count the nninbarof our shells taking effect.

"On other ships explosions resultingfrom our Bhells could be seen, but ow-ing to their positions behind bills itwas difficult exactly .to identify them.

"The total of our shells taking effecton the enemy^s ships were as follows:On a vessel of the Poblodu type, thirty-four; on the battleship Ketvizan or thecruiser Falluda, thirty-four; on the tur-ret ship Poltava, eleven. Besides these,fifty other shells struck, from whichexplosion^ followed, *

"On Dec. 5 seven shells struck thebattleship Pobleda, and about 3:30 p.m. a big explosion was observed southof Palyu mountain, resulting from theeffects of our shells evidently on apowder magazine.

"The successful result of the bom-bardment on Dec. 5 Is inspiring ourmen to still greater effort."

Tiie effect Is due to the constant-ly increasing number of siege guns oflarge caliber, all of which seemed to bein use at the time.

Rumors of a Japanese attack set forvarious dates have been current dur-ing the past two weeks, and it was theImpression that the bombardment "ofDec. 8 was in' anticipation of a Japa-nese offensive movement.

Consumption is a humanweed flourishing best in weaklungs. Like other weeds it'seasily destroyed while young;when old, sometimes invpossible.

Strengthen the lungs as youwould weak land and theweeds will disappear.

The best lung fertilizer isScott's Emulsion. Salt porkis good too, but it is very hardto digest.

The time to treat consump-tion is when you begin tryingto Tiide it from yourself.Others see it, you won't.

Don't wait until you can'tdeceive yourself any longerBegin with the first thoughtto take Scott's Emulsion. Ifit isn't really consumption somuch the better; you will soonforget it and be better for thetreatment. If it is consump-tion you can't expect to becured at once, but if you willbegin in time and .will bfrigidly regular in your' treat-ment you will win.

Edgar Allan Ifoe's WorksThis splendid temvolume library pocket edition contains the choicest and

moit thrilling of Poe's masterful works Stories that are Incomparable inoriginality of conception, versatility and execution Thrilling tales of adven-ture, mystery and detectives stories: such as "The Murders In the RueMorgue," "The Purloined Letter" and the "Mystery of Marie Roget"demonstrate,the author's wonderful capability for correctly cnslytlng themysteries of the human mind. Many recognized aulhorltltj claim that thejnoderri Sherlock Holmes' Stories were Inspired by Poe's writings. The slnii-Uriry In the deductions through which SherioctfHolinis reaches till cohchis-slons sustains these claims. ~

Stories of adventure, bits of brilliant Imaginative cxtravaganin, fascinating,tales of witchery and papers of criticism and " Review of Minor Writers," whichwon-for Poe the enthusiastic admiration of Charles Dickens, with poems ofbeauty and melody, sucii as " Annabel Lee," " The Haunted Palace " and the".Raven," with a brief sketch of .the life, and death of the author! give triereader a vivid conception of the atmosphere In which this wonderful wrlterllvedand died.;

Pearson's Magazine for 1005The editorial policy of PetRSON's Is, In a nutshell, to combine entertaln-

mett with Instmctlveness While (he publisher always tries to present In each,magazine an attractive prospectus of the coming number, he. always Insistsupon the articles and stories themselves being better than tlie prospectus.

Mftgaxlne readers have come to look upon. PEARSONTS as the periodical Inwhich they always find somc^ctlon character of such unusat strength as tobecome a popular hero of Die day. The most famous of these P.BARSON.-mad'echarcaters are Captain Kettle, Monsieur A. V., The'lnternatlonal Spy, andDonQ.

Plans forth! coning year Include a new series of stories by the author ofCaptain Kittle, and a new series of Historic Mysteries by Allen Upward, theauthor or "The Revelations of an International Spy." H G Wells (of " TheWart of the Worlds " fane) .will be a prominent contributor with a series of hitInimitable short stories built upon such semi -scientific lines as to give to his mostextravagant plots of fiction the form of convincing truth. F. Berkeley Smithwill create a new PEARSON hero of pronounced character from the type of theca»leis-mlnde4 sons'of the very rich Amaricans who dwell In Paris for amuse-ment's sake; but Who 'at head have the true pluck and clean spirit of the coun-trymen. Henry George. Jr., hat In preparation for PEARSON'S a tremendousseriesof articles entitled: "'The Decline to the Republic. These articles willshow the United States as It exists, tori y and politically to-Jay. •

They will draw pafallalt between tht conditions of to day and those of theancient times, when the very prosperity and: seeming enlightenment of thepeople of Babylon; Rome, Athens and Pompeii, with the attendant eatravagantang arrogant viclousness was a forerunner to downfall and ruin.

There will be no general attack upon wealth, which Is legitimate. Just,andIn every way to be encouraged, but'agalnst special privileges, which are foreign10 the concepts of the Fathers of the Republic and destructive of Americanpolitical aid social principles and Ideals '

The vast system of laws of special privilege In Ihe United Stales explainsthe vast private fortunes on the one bide and me poverty of the masses on theother—a poverty In face of extraordinary and unexampled material progress andgeneral growth of power to produce wealth. Lincoln s declaration that a nationcannot long exist half bond and half free applies as well to a condition of Indus-trial as to one of chattel slavery. r

This must daunt every thoughtful, patriotic man and woman who realizeswhat enormous power Is In this country to-day centered. In the hands of thePrinces of Privilege and to what a state of dependence the large proportion ofour population Is reduced PEARSON'S will deal with this question—sanely;conservatively, but fearlessly '

meted out to them they probably!thought that It would never come-that God did not see or did not care.

It was ana Is ever true that "becausesentence against an evil work Is notexecuted speedily therefore tbe heartof the sons of men b fully set in themi» do evil" (Eccl. Till, 11). Tbe scoffersof the last days are In our midst theywalk after their own lusts and say,"Where is-tbe promise of Bis coming)for' since tbe fathers feU asleep allthings continue as they were from thebeginning of the' creation" (II Pet111,8,4). - L \

There were scoffers In the days ofNona (Job xxll, 16-18), In the days ofI4t (Gen, xlx, 14) and In the days ofEnoch (Jude 14-16), but the deluge<uune ana tbe fire from heaven, and allthe "ungodly, perished. ~ And so It willt'n aguln,vfor the mouth o f l h e Lordbath spoken It, "The Lord Jesus .shallbe revealed from heaven with Bismighty angels, In flaming lire takingvengeance on them that know not Godami that obey not the gospel of ourLord Jesus Christ; who abill be pun-ished with everlasting destruction fromthe presence of tbe Lord and, from theglory of His [power when He shallcome1'to be glorified In Hla saints andto be admired hi all them that believe,ln that day" (II These. 1, 7-10). ,

These and similar sayings seem hard,and many will not receive them, butthey'are from God, who Is love andwho la not willing that any should per-fall, and He has In love warned.peopleof tbe.result of despising His love.! Heloves all people, but He cannot love sin.Concerning Israel He said, "t have giv-en the dearly beloved of My soul Intothe band of her enemies'^ (Jer. xll, 7);"0 Israel, thoo hast destroyed thyself,but In Me la thine help;" "O Israel, re-turn unto the Lord tby 8oC" (Hos. xiil,0; xlv," 1). By all the prophets He tes-tified agaliiBt Israel and against Judah,saying, "Turn ye from your evil waysand keep My commandments nnd Mystatutes," but they would not hear Him.They dicl'-not believe in the I/>rd theirGod. Tlietefoie the Lord-was veryangry with Israel and removed themout of His sight. There waa none leftbut the tribe of Ju3ah only (verses13-18).

Tbe P»»BI1 o( I'U.b Starr.IJleven different versions of the

pound of flesh story exist in the earlyliterature of Europe, none of which itfounded on a historical basis, save onerelated by the biographer of Pope Six-tusV. The original tale runs as follows:Simon Cenada, a Jew, enters into a wa-ger with Secbi, a Christian, staking apound of bis flesh against a large sumof money of the Christian. The Jewlouts the wager, and Bet-hl insists on bisforfeit. Tbe case in referred to the governor of the city, who in turn places itbefore tbe pope, who condemns both tolifelong imprisonment, from wblcb theyare finally released on the payment ofa heavy fine. An Italian, GiovanniFlort'utluo, in the sixteenth centurywas the first to change tbe roles of theJew and Christian, and in this alteredform the Bard of Avon found tbe story.The poet himself could scarcely haveknown any Jews personally, since theywere expelled from England 300 yearsbefore bis tune and were not read-mitted until after bis death. Fromstage presentations, from descriptionsIn books or from popular reports,which were always derogatory to theJewish character, the poet derived binknowledge of the .low.—Menorab.

"On other ships explosions resultingfrom our shells could be seen, but ow-ing to their positions behind bills Itwas difficult exactly to Identify them.

"The total of our shells taking effecton the enemjCs ships were as follows:On a vessel of the Pobleda type, thirty-four; on the battleship Retvlzan or thecruiser Pallada, thirty-four; on the tur-ret ship Poltava, eleven. Besides these,fifty other shells struck, from whichexplosions followed. '

"On Dec. 5 seven shells struck theBattleship Pobleda, and about 3:30 p.in. a big explosion was observed southof Palyu mountain, resulting from theeffects of our shells evidently on apowder magazine.

I didnot know what it was to get a good night'8sleep Np matter how often I changed myposition the pain was always tbe same. WhenI arose in the morning I always had a sort oftired feeling. The kidney secretions con-tained a brlek dust deposit were^freqnent andaccomp*nled by suppression causing merauchannoyance. I doctored and used lots of dif •tenant kinds of to-called kidney cures but

'never got any relief. I aaw Doan'a KidneyPills advertised is our paper and got a box atKillgore & Wbite'a drug store. They helpedme right from the start and before I' badtaken half tbe box I could go to bed and sleepsoundly all night, something I had not donebefore in yean. I continued the treatmentuntil the pains left me entirely, the secretionsfrom the kidneys improved and I m i betterin every way"

It was and is ever true that "becausesenteuce against an evil work Is notexecuted speedily therefore the heartof tbfii-WS of men Is fully set In themtodF9«#'<Eccl. vi l i ,U).

Tbeywalk after tbelr own lusts and say,"Where Is-tbe promise of His coming!for since' the fathers fell asleep allthings continue as tbey were from tbebeginning of the creation" (II Pet111,8,4).

There were scoffers In tbe days ofNoah (Job xxll, 16-18), In the days ofLot,(Gen. xlx, 14) and in tbe days otEnoch (Jude 14-16), but tbe delugecame and the flre from beaven, and alltbe ungodly perished. And so It willbe again*, for the mouth of the Lordhath, spoken It, "The Lord Jesus shallbe revealed from heaven witb Hismighty angels, in flaming fire takingVengeance on them that know not Godand that obey not the gospel of ourLord Jesus Christ; who shall be pun-ished with everlasting destruction fromtbe presence of the Lord and front tbeglory ot His,power when He shallcome to be glorified In Hit saints andto-be admired In an them that believeIn that day" (II Tbfegs. i, MO).' These and similar sayings seem bard,and many will not receive them, buttbey'are from God, who Is love andwho Is not willing that any should per-ish, and He has in love warned peopleof tbe result of despising His love.' Heloves all people, but He cannot love Bin.Concerning Israel He said, "I bave giv-en the dearly beloved of My soul intothe band of her enemies"' (Jer. xll, 7);"O Israel, thou bast destroyed thyself,but In Me Is thine help:" "O Israel, re-turn unto the Lord thy God" (Hos xlll,9; xlv, 1). By all the prophets He tes-tified against Israel and against Judah,saying, "Turn ye from your evil waysand keep My commandinenti nnd Mystatutes," but tbey would not hear Him.They aid not believe In the Lord theirGod. Thelefore the Lord was veryangry with Israel and removed themout of His sight. There was none left

The case is referred to the gov-ernor of the city, who in turn places Itbefore the pope, who condemns both tolifelong imprisonment, from which theyare finally released on tbe payment of

Relations of Capital and Labor, Unions and Corporations DiscusBed aLength — Irrigation, Pensions, Arbitration Treaties, Foreign Policy anthe Philippines.

Washington, Dec. 7.—Immediate!}after the convening of the senate Senators Allison and Cockrell, constitutingthe committee to wait on the presldemmade their report that the presidenhad expressed bis intention to linmedlately communicate with the senatethrough a message in writing:.

The message was delivered to t)usenate by Mr. Barnes, assistant secre-tary to the president and its readingimmediately began. The senatorswere all supplied with copies of themessage in print, and most of themclosely followed the reading clerksthey proceeded.

The message was read simultaneous-ly in the house. Its chief featuresare as follows:

The enlargement of scope of the func-tions of the national government requiredby our development as a nation Involves,of course, Increase of expense, and thperiod of prosperity through which thcountry to passing justifies expendituresfor permanent improvements far greaterthan would be wise In hard times, buiabundant revenues and a large Hiirpiualways invite extravagance, and cotistuncare should be taken to guard against unnecessary increase of the ordinary ex-penses of government.

Capital and Labor.The relations of capital and labor, and

especially of organized capital and or-ganized labor, to each other and to thepublic at large come second In importance-only to the intimate questions oifamily life. In actual practice It hasproved exceedingly difficult, and In manycases Impossible, to get unanimity of wiseaction among the various states on thesesubjects. From the very nature of thecase this is especially true of the lawsaffecting: the employment of capital Inhuge masses.

With regard to labor, the problem Is noless Important, but tt Is simpler. As longas the states retain the primary controlof the police power the circumstance)must be altogether extreme which re-quire interference toy the federal author-ities, whether In the way of safeguardingthe rights of labor or In the way of seeingthat wrong Is not done by unruly personswho shield themselves behind the namoof labor. If there Is resistance to the fed-eral courts, interference with the mailsor Interstate commerce or molestation offederal property, or If the state authori-ses in some crisis which they are unable.0 face call for help, then the federal gov-ernment may interfere.

Labor Unions.I believe that under modern Industrial

conditions it is often necessary and evenwhere not necessary It Is yet often wisethat there should be organization of laborin order better to secure the rights of theIndividual wageworker. All encouragementshould be given to any such organizationso long as it Is conducted with a due anddecent regard for the rights of other*.There are In this country some labor un-ions which have habitually and other laborunions which have often been among themost effective agents in working for goodcitizenship and for uplifting the conditionof those whose welfare should be closestto our hearts. But when any labor unionseeks Improper ends or seeks to achieveproper ends by Improper means all goodcitizens, and more especially all honorablepublic servants, must oppose the wrong-doing as resolutely as they would opposehe wrongdoing of any great corporation.Violence, brutality or corruption shouldiot for one moment be tolerated. Wapo-vorkers have an entire right to organizemd by all peaceful and honorable meansto endeavor to persuade their fellows toloin- with them in organizations. Theylave a legal right which, according to cir-cumstances, may or may not be a moralright, to refuse.to work In company withmen who decline to Join their organiza-tions. They have under no circumstancesthe right to commit violence upon those,whether capitalists or wageworkors, whorefuse to support their organizations orwho side with those with whom they areat odda, for mob rule Is Intolerable In anyform.

Unionism In Government Offices.There Is no objection to employees of

the government forming or belonging tounlonB, but the government can neitherdiscriminate for nor discriminate againsttonunlon men who are In Its employment

JT who seek to be employed under ItMoreover, it is a very grave ImproprietyFor government employees to band them-selves together for the purpose of extorl-fhg Improperly high salaries from thegovernment. Especially is this true ofthose within the classtaed service.

Bureau of Labor. >Much can be done by the government In

labor matters merely by giving publicityto certain conditions. The bureau of la-)or has done excellent work of this kind

many different directions. I Bhallshortly lay before, you In a special mes-sage the full report of the Investigationof the bureau of labor Into the Coloradomining strike, as this Is a strike in whichcertain very evil forces, which are moreor less at work everywhere under the con-ditions of modern industrialism, becamestartllngly prominent. *

Corporations.When we come to deal with great cor-

porations the need for the government toaot directly Is far greater than in- the

in of labor, because great corporationsin become such only by engaging In In-

terstate commerce, and kiterstate com-merce Is peculiarly the field of the gen-eral government. It Is an absurdity toexpect to eliminate the abuses in greatcorporations by state action. The na-tional. KQifiriunent akjne. can, deal aflft-quafely'wltn" tiTeae great corj56raCTons. Totry to deal with them in an Intemperate,destructive or 'demagogic spirit would Inall probability mean that nothing what-ever would be accomplished, and with ab-solute certainty that If anything wereaoompliahed it would be of a harmful na-ture. The American people need to con-tinue to show the very qualities that theyhare shown—that la, moderation, goodsense, the earnest desire to avoid doingany damage and yet the quiet determina-tion to proceed, step by step, without haltand without hurry, in eliminating or atleast In minimizing whatever of mischief>r of evil there Is to Interstate com

ire* In the conduct of great corporatlons. They are acting In no spirit of hostility to wealth, either Individual or corporate. They are not against the rici.man any more than against the poor man.On the oontrary, they art friendly alike

toward rich man and toward poor manprovided only Hint «-aeh nets in a npirli

During the two and a half years thahave elapsed since the pussnge of thereclamation act rupid progress has beonrnndR In the surveys and examinations othe opportunities for reclamation in thethirteen states and three territories of thearid west. Construction has already bei'ibegun on the largest and most Importanof the Irrigation works, and plans are being: completed for works which will utilize the funds now available.

Tho forest policy of the government IsJust now a subject of vivid public interesthroughout the west and to the people ofthe United States In general. 'The forestreserves themselves are of extreme valueto trfe present as well as to the futurewelfare of all the western public landstates.

Pensions.The veterans of the civil war have a

claim upon the nation such as no otherbody of our citizens possesses. The pension bureau has never in Its history beenmanaged in a more satisfactory mannerthan Is now the case.

Our consular system needs improve-ment. Balaries should be substituted forfees, and the proper classification, grad-ing and transfer of consular officersshould be provided.

Arbitration Treaties.We are In every way endeavoring to

help on, with cordial good will, everymovement which will tend to bring us intomore friendly relations with the rest ofmankind. Jn pursuance of this policy Ishall shortly lay before the senate treatiesof arbitration with all powers which arewilling to enter into these treaties withus. It is not possible at his period of theworld's development to agree to arbitrateall matters, but there aro many mattersof possible difference between us andother nations which can be thus arbitral-ed. Furthermore, at the request of the Interparliamentary union, an eminent bodycomposed of practical statesmen from al)countries, I have asked the powers to join

rith this government in a second Hagueconference, at which It Is hoped that thework already soi happily begun at TheHague may be carried some steps furthertoward completion. This carries out thedesire expressed by the first Hague con-ference itself.

Foreign Policy. «*The steady aim of this nation, as of all

mllghtened nations, should be to strive to>ring ever nearer the day when thereihu.ll prevail throughout the world thepeace of Justice, but there are kinds ofpeace which are highly undesirable, whichare In the long; run as destructive as anywar. The goal to set ISifore us as a na-lon, the goal which should be set beforeill mankind, Is the attainment of thepeace of Justice, of the peace which comeewhen eaoh nation Is not merely safeguard-ed In its own rights, but scrupulously rec-ignlzes and performs its duty toward oth-ers. Generally peace tells for righteous^ness, but If there is conflict between thetwo then our fealty is due first to thecause of righteousness. Unrighteous warsare common^ and unrighteous peace is

re, but both should be shunned. TheIght of freedom and the responsibilityor the exercise of that right cannot belivorced.Until Borne method Is devised by which

here shall be a degree of international:ontrol over offending nations It wouldbe a wicked thing for > the most civilizedpowers, for those with most sense of ln-ernational obligations and with keenestmd most generous appreciation of the dlf-'erence betwoen right and wrong, to dlB-irm.

The Philippines.In the Philippine Islands there has bean

luring the past year aj continuation of theteady progress which has obtained evertnce our troops definitely got the upperland of the insurgents. The Philippinepeople, or, to speak more accurately, thenany tribes and even races sundered fromme another more or less sharply who goo make up the people of the Philippineelands, contain many elements of goodind some elements which we have a right;o hope stand/ for progress. At presentthey are utterly incapable of existing inIndependence at all or of building up acivilisation of their own. I firmly believehat we can help them to rise higher andllgher In the scale of civilization and ofopacity for self government,' and Inost earnestly hope that In the end they.(/Ill be able to stand, If not entirely alone,'et In some such relation to the UnitedKates as Cuba now stands. This end Isiot yet In sight, and It may be Indefinite-

postponed If bur people are foolishinough to turn the attention of the Fili-pinos away from the problems of achiev-ing moral and material prosperity, ofworking for a stable, orderly and justgovernment, and toward foolish and dan-gerous Intrigues for a complete inde-pendence for which they are as yet to-tally unfit.

On the other hand, our people must keepiteadlly before their minds the fact thatthe Justification for our stay in the Phil-ippines must ultimately, rest chiefly uponthe good we are able to do In the Islands.

Every measure taken concerning the Is-lands should be. taken primarily with aview to their advantage. We should cer-tainly give- them, lawer tariff ratejs ontheir exports tar the TTnlt&JL States. If this

The Army and Navy.The strong arm of the government In

enforcing respect for its Just rights in intornatlonal matters is the navy of thiUnited States. Inmost earnestly recommend that there he no halt in the workof upbuilding the American navy. Wehave undertaken t» build the isthmiancanal. We have undertaken to secure forourselves our just Bhare In the trade ofthe orient. We have undertaken to pro-tect our citizens from Improper treat-ment In foreign lands. We continueKteiidily to insist on the application of theMonroe doctrine to the western hemi-sphere. Unless our attitude in thesf andall similar matters Is to be a mere boast-ful sham we cannot afford to abandonour naval programme. Our voice Is nowpotent for peace and is BO potent becausewe are not afraid of war. But our prot-estations upon behalf of peace wouldneither receive nor deserve the slightestattention if we were impotent to makethem good.

Within the laBt three years the UnitedStates has set an example In disarma-ment where disarmament was proper. Bylaw our army is fixed at a maximum of100,000 and a minimum of 60,000 men.When there was insurrection In the Phil-ippines we kept the army at the maxi-mum,. Peace came In the Philippines, andnow our army has been reduced to theminimum at which It Is possible to keeptt with due regard to Its efficiency.
