The speaker then appealed to his hear
ers to cultivate self-reliance, honesty and

doing things well, not becoming famous
or prominent. The community must
have laborers, servants, mechanics; and
they who did their work well, however
humble, were successful: and even if one
died in the effort and died with his head
erect, that Was success. The speaker con.

success without Christ could be or was

Evangelist Martin Gives q Com.

BE MEN. NOT MALE ANIMALS.


Evangelist 9. n. Martin preached three
times at the Armory yesterday. morning,
afternoon and evening. His afternoon adj
dress. from 3 to AIS. was interesting, for
the reason that il was addressed to men
only. Eight hundred OF them turned out
to hear him. The platform was occupied
by ministers and leading members Of the
Young Mems Christian Association.
Among the former were Rev. George J.
Burchett. Of the First Baptist church:
Kew. r. E. Dunlap, of the First Christian
church. and Rev. Thomas Baldwin. Mr..
George Carter, secretary Of the Young
Mems Christian Association, and Prof
Thomas 8. Lippy, athletic director Of the
gymnasium were also on the stage. The
service opened with prayer by Mr.. Bald
win snd . hymn, and Mr.. Martins ad-
dress followed. the service concluding
with the long-meter doxology and bene-
diction by Rev. G. J. Burchett.
Mr.. Martin began his discourse by say

DR.. Palmer Gets the Place After . Long
Deadlock.
The matter of selecting q permanent as
sistant health officer was satisfactorily SET
tied at secret meeting of the board of
health one day last week. During the
latter part of the smallpox epidemic the
health officer had two assistants. Drs.
Palmer and Wright. The council then
refused to pay the salary of both, so that
either one must resign or both continue
with the certainty that one would lose his
time and pay. The board, at its last meet
ing. allowed the health officer the choice
Of his assistant. but the health officer
did not care to make q choice.
When the board met the other day the
members were divided as to choice. DR..
Miller would not vote for Republican,
DR.. Samuel J. Holmes preferred DR..
Wright. and the president. DR.. James
Shannon. favored DR.. Palmer. The result
was that DR.. Wright will retire from office
March and probably be allowed full pay
up to date. while DIR. Palmer will continue
as the assistant health officer.

The Bureau Labor Unions Want-Op-
posing Tacoma's Water Deal.
The legislative committee of the labor
organizations in the city has taken no
action on any of the bills now before the
legislature. President Armstrong has
been sick and not able to attend meetings.
Another reason for non-action lies IN the
fact that this work was attended to by the
recent labor congress in Olympia Of all
the bills now before the legislature relating
at all to labor organizations only one
meets with any opposition. This Is the
bill to create a bureau of statistics and
immigration. including labor statistics.
The labor organizations do not favor this.
but indorse Senator Dyer's bill TO provide
for a bureau of labor statistics. They
want the bureau separate from all others.
There is no opposition TO any other bill.

used to some of the other inhabitants Of

take my first jump, discovered something
that looked a bit like a horseshoe crab
down at the bottom. Calling to one of the
black pickaninnies running about the
yard, asked him what it was.
"Oh, dat's a scorpium."
"Well, take him right out"
"Oh, he's dead, sab"
"Never mind! prefer my bath without
him in it,"
A dead scorpion is bad enough, but that
is preferable to having live one drop
from the rafters overhead on ones bare
flesh, as once happened to a friend Of mine
