The San Francisco alta California
says there is a prospect of an excite
ment in olive raising in that State. In
a small way olives have for long time
been produced there, but within few
years past MIR. Cooper has gone into
the business of raising olive trees on n
considerable scale and with marked sue
cess. He has now 5000 trees, produc-
ing yearly an average of 20 gallons OF
berries, which produce an average of
nearly three gallons of oil. Trees 10
years old in good soil will average 80
gallons of berries, and the oil yield of a
mature orchard may be set down as 20O
gallons to the acre, netting the owner
not less than 5000 to the acre. This oil,
it is claimed, is much superior to that
imported from Southern Europe, which
is in general use. AS the olive will grow
on clay or rock soil, without cultivation
or irrigation, the hillsides that are now
worthless, and the poor soils generally,
may be made with this plant to bear
valuable crops for their owners.

must be drawn over the road for every

Religious revivalism in England has
taken a curious forni, outside the estab-

they call the Salvation Army, the leader
of which is styled a General, and the
idea of warfare against sin is carried
out in numerous ways. The different
congregations are d" corps" and are de-
signated by numbers; the word "sol-
dier" takes the place of "brsther +"
and "sister !" and before each meeting a
procession moves throtgh the streets of
the neighborhood with drums, flies, and
banners. The meetings are of the
American camp-meeting sort, the fervor
being so demonstrative as to startle staid
John Bull.

Il SAD CASE.

A Servant Girl Loses Her Savings from
Five Years of Labor.
A case of peculiar bad luck came to the
knowledge of GLOBE reporter yesterday.
A young girl from Mankato was the victim.
Her story is that she has been living out at
service in Mankato for five years. From the
wages OF her drudgery she had managed to
save 1914. Think of it, 1914, the savings of
five years. work. Having accumulated 80
much, or rather so little, in such long
time in the country, she connted over her
hoardings and looked about her to add to
her wealth. She wanted to work for it, but
wanted a fair days salary for a fair days
work. She had learned that servant girls
got more for their work, and perhaps less
work for the money, in st. Paul than else
where. She resolved to venture from her
country home and try city life. With this
intent she made inquiries about
this metropolis, gained some information,
and with that, her trunk and 1914,
started for st. Paul, arriving here on Satur-
day, last. She at once repaired to Mrs.
Hirst's intelligence Office to obtain work.
Arriving there, she put her hand in her
pocket to make payment. Imagine her hor-
ror-strlcken surprise whom she discovered
she had lost her pocket-book. In
it her five years's wealth, $74,
and the check for her trunk.
She overhauled her raiment, shook her shawl
etc., but the bulky purse was not found.
Hoping at least to find her trunk, and per-
haps learn something about her loss, she
fastened back to the depot. Here she found
her trunk had gone. Gone where? Some
body had presented the check, obtained it
and taken it away. The poor girl scarcely
knew what to do, but was advised to
report to the police, which she
did. A search followed, but no
trace of the money or trunk has been found.
The superstition is that the girls pocket was
picked on the train, and that the trunk was
secured and rechecked by the miscreant who
had robbed her. Her distress was really
pitiful, but fortunately she found friend
who gave her shelter at her home on Twelfth
street until she could get place-to labor
another five years for 1914, more or less.

Says He Was Not Discourteous.

say no w dS ISOC DlSCOurC0Ou8s
During a conversation with City Engineer
sewall on Saturday last, GLOBE reporter
ventured to inquire, with proper delicacy,
concerning the insinuations of dscourtesy
preferred against that gentleman by several
members of the city council. It will be re-
membered that the allegation had reference
to the manner in which Mr.. Sewell disposed
of bills or orders that were presented to him,
accompanied by recommendations from the
council. In speaking of the subject Mr..
Sewall was naturally very reserved, the con-
clusion being more from inductive reason
ing than from any emphatic declaration.
In substance, Mr.. Sewall implied that so
far as discourtesy was concerned, the council
was unfortunately laboring under an entire
misrepresentation.
The misunderstanding was perhaps par
donable, considering that it arose from a
total absence of reliable information. The
orders which it was claimed had been
ignored were altogether beyond his iuris-
diction., Instead of being received by him,
they had been turned over to the board of
pablo works, and interference on his part
would have been considered as unwarranted
presumption.
Where he was personally or directly con-
aerned, he had invariably exerted a ready
and active interest.

fraught with unlocked for potencies Of good.
The first measure was the opening of q commo-
dlous and attractive reading room at the Union
passenger depot at Cleveland.
In many railroad centres these reading rooms
were wholly or in part supported by the COR
porations interested.
Their necessity was fast coming to be re-
garded, by managers and superintendent as q
necessary part of railroad equipment. Cottage
prayer meetings were next organized, and
proved to- be a most valuable
means in interesting men in religion.
Tram men and the more migratory class in the
and were brought to live sober and Christian
nves. Railroad men are like other men, though
Christians had been a long time in finding it
out. Already there were twenty Railroad
christian associations, embracing 1000 active,
Christian members. In this way are the car
rlers OF our continent becoming the messenger
of the gospel.
THE WORK IN ST. PAUL.
The work was one in which Christians and
humanity at large should take the deepest in
terest Our city is an important and growing
railroad centre. There is, therefore, an op.
portunity to organize in st. Paul q
land such wide renown.
The reverend speaker here adverted to the
necessity of having reading room provided in
the new union depot contemplated, stating that
1t should be made attractive enough to become
rallying place for railroad employees The
speaker closed with an eloquent plea in behalf
of railroad men, inviting the cooperation OF
railroad managers, briefly outlined the method
of work, urging unity of action and the hearty
assistance of all Christians.

large and appreciative audience. The ad-

too lengthy for an occasion of that natures
showed study of and familiarity with ancient

piano duet, by Master Fred Strouse and Miss

by Master Henry Isaacs and Miss Carrie Issacs
were perfect gems. Miss Cohen's rendition of

received. Miss Rosenfeld, in q recitation of

Altogether the entertainment was success.
