THE BAPTIST ANNIVERSARIES.

The Baptist Anniversaries met in the city
of Detroit yesterday Two years ago they
met in Indianapolis it will be remembered
with so much pleasure and profit. These are
the great yearly meetings of the Baptist de-
nomination. They represent the agencies
through which UNCONVENTIONAL work is carried
on, and naturally these annual meetings
are of chief interest to Baptists
the country over The last published
report of the statistics of the Baptist denomi-
nation in the United States showed, churches,
q, 913; ministers, II, 1927; members, 2,474, I'll;
Sunday schools, Is, 939; officers and teachers,
1874, 395; scholars, l, 1l8, 129 There are more
than three millions of Baptists through
out the world. Of these about 800 900
are within the boundaries of the Northern
States, and the Detroit anniversaries are of the
Northern Baptists. The like meetings for the
Southern Baptists were held in the city of
Baltimore last week. Just seventy years ago
the Baptist Triennial Convention was organ
lied in Philadelphia, with thirty-six persons,
representing eleven States and the
District of Columbia, and out of
this have grown the three socie-
ties-the American Baptist Missionary
Union, the American Baptist Publication
Society, and the American Baptist Home
Mission Society. There are also women's
missionary societies, both foreign and home,
which are affiliated with the parent socie
ties The statistics for the year ending April
80, 1888, show for the Missionary Union 40
mission stations, 1913 missionaries 1,366 ma
tive pastors and helpers, LOCO churc hes, and
102, 261 members. The receipts for the year
were 1927, 80098. The Home Mission
Society reports: Missionaries, 615; churches
organized, 1928, ISL; baptized, 2,515 mis-
sion church members, 49, 403; Sunday schools,
1898; scholars, 49, 525; contributions and lega-
cies, 1888, $226, AL. 10. The Publication So
ciety reports 122 colporteurs and 81 Sunday
school missionaries, and 1894 schools organ
lied since 1924. The work of this society is
twofold-secular as respects the work of pub
LEGATION, and religious as shown in the eolport-
age and missionary work. The receipts of
the business department for the year
we're 1899, 673.O7, and of the missionary
department., 1922, 246 Further statistics
of the church show theological seminaries,
80 colleges and universities, 60 academies and
Summaries, the total value of the educational
property being 1856, 873, with an endow-
ment of So, l60, $50. The figures indicate
healthy state of activity in the work Of this
great branch of the Christian Church. The
anniversaries at Detroit will extend
over about one week, and are at
tended by the representative men of
the denomination throughout the country.
There is no legislative function in any of the
meetings; they are simply to give results; to
discuss methods for the propagation of the
faith to take counsel of each other; to com
pare notes Of experience, and to kindle enthu-
siasm for the future by recounting the stories
of past trials and triumphs

dog cremated with her, determined to go one

dog which was doomed to die. She knew she
could not live without the pug, so she wrote a
note saying ''Bury me with Jip, and then tried
to suffocate herself with gas. They did not
bury her, but very injudiciously drought her

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.


In view Of the repeated denial on
the subject the friends of Lieut..
Kslingbury here were much shock
ed this afternoon on learning that
when his coffin was opened at Ro-
chester it was found that there was
no flesh on his bones. 1t is not
we'll understood why there has
been 50 much concealment in this
matter. Commander Schley and
Admiral Nichols first denied that
Henry had been shot. The official
report of Lieut.. Greedy showed
that they did not know what they
were talking about. 1t turns out,
that there were only two people
who knew about the shooting Of
Henry from Lieut.. Greeley, Secre-
tary Chandler and Gen. Hazen.
Gen. Hazen wanted to tell Sec'v
Lincoln about it, but was unable
to see him, and he feared to send
him a telegram On the subje It. Be-
ing IN ignorance in the matter,
Sec'y Lincoln and Gen. Hancock
now find themselves in the awk-
ward and unmilitary position of
having attended the funeral Of a
soldier who been executed by order
"f court-martial, thing that is
in violation of all military etiquete.
Lieut.: Greeley desired that the
shooting Of Henry should not be
made public and Sec'y Chandler
and Gen Hazen would have obliged
him in this direction had it not
boen necessary, in view Of the fact
having leaked out through other
sources, to publish the official re-
port Of the occurrence. 1t is now
thought 1t would have been better
If all the facts, terrible as they
were, had been given out in the
first instance instead of endeavor-
ing to conceal them.
"There are two subjects'' said a
friend Of mine, who is patent
lawyer, that have absorbed more
brain tissue from the heads of in
ventive genuises than would be
necessary to outweigh all the gold
that has been, in consequence, put
into their pockets. The first Of
these is the coupling Of railroad
cars. Over two hundred patents q
year are issued for these hitching
devices. why SO comparatively

ceive SO much attention on the part
Of invention is more than can ex~
plain. The other great lives OF

exhibits, however, is very small
compared with the patented arti-
cles that get 80 far from the hands
of the inventors as to reach the
market.
The new pension office building
is progressing slowly and when
completed will be one of the larg-
est structures in the country. It'll
is built Of brick, with terra Gotta
trimmings containing representa-
tion Of military life. While the
pension office is often regarded rs
hostile to the interests Of the sol
dier, the committee on pensions Of
both the Senate and House Of Rep
resentatives have been cxceeiing-
ly friendly. Senator Mitchell,
chairman Of the Senate committee,
has been known to strongly rec
ommend a pension, rs being just
and proper, which has been disal-
lowed by the pension officials So
also in the House committee, Mr..
Patton, Of Penn, a democrat, has
been heard to say, that he would
sooner see the Government suffer,
than feel that a deserving soldier
should 60 unrewarded. 1t is a rare
exception that Congress does not
grant pension when recommend
ed by the committees.
A number Of bank presidents
througout the country have writ
ten to the Postma ter G. General ask
ing him to exclude "Thom pson's
Bank note and Commercial Repor-
ter from the mails. In referring
to these letters to-day, Assistant
Attorney-General Freeman said,
The Bank-note and Commercial
Reporter is q black-mailing sheet
published at New York. The plan
is to send the paper to all leading
banks, and after time bill for
SIS is sent to the bank. Upon the
refusal Of the bank to pay the bill,
a letter is sent threatening to at
tack its credit unless the bill is
paid. AUGUST.
