METHODIST MISSIONS.
Forty Third Annual Session of the Board
of Missions.


Forty-Third Annual Session of the Board
of Missions.
Special to the Statesman.
NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 2.-The forty
third annual session of the board of mis-
sions of the Methodist Episcopal church
(south) conveues here tomorrow. The
secretary's report is volume containing
2O4 pages, and is filled with an exhaustive
and diligently digested resume of this
important work of the southern branch
of the Methodist church. 1t is the work
of j. G. John, D, D., secretary of the
board, upon whom it reflects the credit
that follows all well constructed work.
The board of missions had its begin
ming in New York City in 1919. The gen.
eral conference of 1920 adopted the con-
stitution of the society which was formed
then, and recommended oil the confer
ences to take measures for forming auxils
iaIies. At the close of the first year the
collections amounted to $823.04. In 1874
they reached $146,579.7S. The church di-
yided, north and south, in that year, and
from that time the work of missions
among the Indians and subsequently
among the negroes fell to the southern
branch.
During the past year the united colleo.
tions of northern and southern Method
ism for foreign and domestic missions
amounted to $1,32759l35.
The degree of mission work shown in
these reports to have been done before tie
war is not known to many people. In
1860, when the war disturbed these LAHORE,
there was colored membership of 207,766
or nearly as many as the entire number of
communicates which had been gathered to
that time into the churches of all Protes-
tant denominations having missionaries
in the far east.
The Indian missions, the China mis-
sion, Central Mexican mission, Mexican
Border mission, the Brazil mission, the
Japan mission, the Cuban mission, West
ern work, the German missions in Amer
lea and domestic missions are each taken
up in turn and viewed from every point of
view.
In the table of recapitulation of finances
the amount of money paia out last year
for foreign missions was $244, 17643.
The amount paid out for domestic mis-
sions was $l04, 473.31.
The total amount used for foreign and
domestic missions was $348, 64974.
OF the foreign missions Tennessee paid
in the largest amount received from any
other one source, or $18,S97.28.
Virginia is next'with $1S,763.S2.
South Carolira leads in contribution to
the domestic missions with $7,515.26.
The aggregate increase of foreign and
domestic during the past year over that
of 1887, was $21, 63S.59.
The financial condition at the present
time is better than at any period since
1884.
The Board of Missions will, among
other things, it IS thought, discuss Okla
homa as mission and may possibly ar
range for the extension of mission work
in that direction.

SUDDEN DEATH.
Mr.. Alex Weisman, a Merchant of
Bastrop, Dies Suddenly.

Mr.. Alex Weisman, a wsll.known mer-
chant of Bastrop, sojourning in this city
temporarily, died suddenly about O'Clock
yesterday morning at the home of Mrs.
Caroline Koppel, SOP East Seventh street,
where he was stopping. He arrived in the
city Wednesday for the purpose of having
some dental work done, and seemed to be
In good health and spirits. In fact, he ate
hearty supper and retired at an early
hour of the evening. Sometime after mid
night he aroused the household, and medi-
cal aid was Immediately summo ned.
Doctor Gasser responded, and he found
Mr.. Weisman unconscious and past medi-
cal aid. The doctor pronounced the af-
fiction heart disease. The deceased was a
native of Poland and about 40 years of
age, but had long been citizen of Texas.
He leaves five children at Lsmpas8s who
were notified of the sudden death. The
deceased was friend of Mr.. AbelWilliams,
who took charge of the body and made all
arrangements for the funeral, which &C.

senator Fvarts' Log Cabin.

Senator Evarts has erected an old FASH
toned Log Cabin on an elevated point OF
land which he lately purchased on the
Potomac, Just below Washington.
It is much more elegant in its finish
and appointments than we're the homes of
our ancestors in the Log Cabin days of
long ago, but probably not more condu-
Give to comfort.
Outside, it presents the appearance of
the typical old fashioned house of the
pioneers, being built of logs hewn in the
adjacent forest and raised and chinked in
the olden style. The interior will be fin
ished in native woods, from the place, but,
unlike the primitive original, it will be
finished in oil.
This is luxury to which the jewellers in
the rude Cabins of early days dared not
aspire, it being pure luxury, and not add
ing to the comfort of the domicile.
Senator EVarts began the Log Cabin last
summer with the determination that, if
General Harrison were elected, he would
reverse the popular campaign axiom of
half century ago, From the Log Cabin
to the White House" to social axiom of
the new administration, From the White
House to the Log CABIN"
harrlSOu was SUCCESSFUL; oeudIOr EVHrIo
new, old-fashioned, Log Cabin will doubt
less also prove a great success. Many a
happy days surcease from the tolls and
cares of his great station, our Log Cabin
president will no donbt enjoy beneath its
hospitable roof as the guest of the genial
senior senator from New York.
Great as the success may be that attends
the introduction of this old-time. log cabin
to fashionable life, it cannot be greater
than the success which has attended the
introduction of Warmers Log Cabin Sar
saparillo, one of the old-time, effective
remedies, the use of which, in primitive
times, gave our grandparents health ant
rugged old age.
Senator Evart's log cabin is but another
evidence of the tendency in fashionable
life, at present so marked, towards thing
primitive and antiquated. The new
fashion is for things old-fashioned, and {
return to the old-fashioned roots ant
herbs remedies of log cabin days is noteC
with pleasure, as their common use doeI
not permanently injure the system, as tn
use of the mineral drugs of modern medi
cal practice does.

ouels early history has in no manner soured
his sunny disposition, but it has rather
created in his breast tender sympathy
for all who mayhsp get winged by Cupid's
dart. Thus in his travels it Is frequently
his pleasure to render assistance to young
couples who are fleeing from the wrath of
some angry parent i'll search of a pair of
marriage licenses, and his invaluable ex-
perience in assisting Others was happily
illustrated yesterday morning. He was a
passenger on the train from san Antonio,
due here at $3.50 O'Clock, and he noticed a
young couple get on the train
at San Marcos. Getting into
conversation with the young man, he
learned what he had before supposed, thai
they were avoiding parental authority.
The young man SAID his name was John
II. Bass, and that of his fiance Mary j.
Morgan, and soon Colonel Tom had been
made the confident of the young man.
"Well," said the general passenger agent
TO the young man, you come and go on to
Austin, and l will see you through. l am
not married man myself, and IL these
irate parents want to shoot anybody why
lust let them snoot me. You go with me
to Austin, and 1 will be your best man,
and see that you are duly married" Young
Bass consulted with his tiance, and they
decided that Colonel Tom would do to tie
to, and accordingly they came on to this
city. Arriving here, Colonel Tom shout
dered his umbrella, and with his charge
following close in his wake, marched to
the court house, where marriage license
was procured. Then the assistance of
Justice George Calhoun was invoked, and
thus the nuptial knot was tied that moth
ing save divorce suit can put asunder.
"I'll tell you what, said Tom Kingley to
STATESMAN reporter yesterday afternoon
as he shivered and called for milk shake,
"you may talk about happiness being de-
picted upon mans countenance, but
never saw it more intensely emphasized
than glowed upon this young mans face
after Justice Calhoun had pronounced
them one. felt fully repaid for all the
trouble l had TAKEN"

AUSTIN g. NORTHWESTERN
Annual Election OF Officers-The
Road Not for Sale.

The annual election of officers and a
board of directors of the Austin and
Northwestern railway was held at the COM
pany's Office in this city yesterday. The
old officers and board were reelected as
follows: President, Joseph Collect, of
Terre Haute, Ind; vice president, W. H.
Westfall, of Burnet; treasurer, W. B.
Isham, of New York; secretary, A. L.
Rhomberg, of Austin. Board of directors:
Joseph Collett, of Indiana; II. A. V. Post,
of New York; W. II. Westfall. of Burnet;
A. p. Woodbridge, John Hancock and A.
N. Leitnaker, OF Austin.
The affairs of the company were found
in excellent condition and the road doing
well under the good management Of
Superintendent Leitnaker. The STATES
MAN takes pleasure in stating authori-
tavely that there is no truth whatever in
the report that the road has been sold out
to the Central. In fact no such step is
contemplated, but on the contrary the
present judicial management makes it
safe to say the road will continue to be
improved until its facilities are equal to
any in the south.

GATEsvILLE, Tex, May 2.-The farmer
are very much pleased at the prospects
for an abundant wheat, oat and corn crop.
Everybody in town who has one say they
have the finest garden. Vegetable and
fruit prospects are unusually good.
Gainesville is working with a vim
toward securing the Grand Trunk rail-
way. The right of way has been nearly
completed, and our citizens are coming up
with the desired bonus, and if we are so
fortunate as to succeed We'll have some
thing to blow our horn with, loud and
long, as Bolton and Hamilton are rival
towns with Gainesville in pulling for the
Grand Trunk.
Prof. F. p. Crow, formerly principal
of the Central Texas institute ut this
place, and who has been engaged at Breck
enridge in teaching, has returned to Gates
vile, and will begin Normal school here
the first Monday in May. He has large
number of friends in the city and county,
and there will be an effort to keep him all
