THE REV" Mr.. ROWLAND ON
He Gives His Usual Psychometric seance
At Arion Hail-Extracts From
His Sermon"
DECK ONCE MORE.

The "Rev." Mr.. Rowland is a
thing of beauty and a joy forever.
At every meeting that he holds,
more of his eccentricities, to put it
mildly, appear. Since his last
seance, a week ago last Saturday,
he has been unable to obtain any
hall to speak in. But he made
arrangements yesterday to have
the use of Arion hall for this week,
and he again held services last
evening.
A larger number Of people were
present than have attended before,
and, whether owing to this fact or
not, the spiritualist was even more
pronounced in his vagaries than
ever. AS fitting end to such a
service the audience was RECALLED
by two regular music hall songs
songs that one hears in a variety
theatre in San Francisco and the
east-such as a pair of serio-comics
sing to the accompaniment of a
wheezy cornet and squeaky vio-
lin.
He started his evening With a
text taken from the New Tesla
ment. He took a text, but that is
all he did with it. He never re-
ferred to it again in the slightest
way, and his whole discourse, if
such a rambling talk could be
called by such a name, was simply
a mass of vituperation against the
newspapers and people of Homo
lulu. The man is very wroth to
think that his character has been
shown up to the people of the ISL
ands, and he cannot help venting
his spleen on whomever he is talk
ing to, be it in church or out.
Before Mr.. Rowland began his
services, he sang a few songs, and
the sound of his voice, which is
very sweet one, brought quite a
member of natives in from the
street. At the close of his meeting,
he asked all those who had en-
loved the service tn stand mn Ono
- n III I'D certainly they
did enjoy it, if the frequent laugh
ing of the majority of the audience
was any test.
Of course, he introduced his
psychometric reading. That is his
profession, and by that he makes
his living. AS precursor to this
little work of his, he told of an ex-
perience he had had at Waikiki a,
few days ago. He said he IA
been in bathing, and, tboa,,-ough

THE CAEC1L1AN SOCIETY.

The rehearsals of the Caecilian So
ciety are progressing finely and those
who have been attendants find them
selves very much benefited and in
structed by the practice. It is matter
of regret, however, that the organiza.
ton has failed to attach to it's member
ship all Of the musical people of Roam
oke. Certainly there are none who
would fail to be benefited by connect
ing themselves with this organization.
So far the regular rehearsals have
attracted an average Of fifty singers
each night. This is very good show
ing when the cold snap, which we
have been for some time experience
ing is taken into consideration.
The rehearsal last Tuesday evening
was enthusiastic and we'll attended.
The next rehearsal will take place on
Tuesday evening, January 3lst., and it
is hoped that not only large number
of the regular members will BIO present,
but that new accessions to their ranks
will be gained. The meeting will take
place at the Hobbie Music Hall, and
will be under the direction of the
society's leader, Prof P. c. Leary.

Tho Operator Numbered and Ono Train
Crashed Into Another.
HARRISBURG, Pa, Jan. 21.-A repeti-
ton of the awful Dock street wreck on
tho Pennsylvania railroad, in this city
last summer, occurred at Docklow, first
station east of Steelton, this morning
about o'clock.
The fast line east, which leaves here
at 3:45, stopped on the block to repair
an air brake which was out Of order,
when tho second section crashed into
the rear, demolishing tho Williamsport
sleeper in which there were four pas
sengers.
The car caught fire from tho locomo-
tive of the second section and was par
TALLY consumed.
Prof. Henry w. Rolfe, assistant pro-
lessor of English literature in the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania, was seriously
hurt Arthur A. Stern, wholesale
ieweler OF Now York, was hurt about
the hips and two others were hurt.
Professor Rolfe was doubled up be-
tween the upper and lower berths and
was almost suffocate1 by the steam.
Stern climbed through the window with
nothing to protect him from the bitter
cold but his undershirt.
1t is said that the operator at Steel
ton is responsible for allowing the Soc
ond section to enter the block before
the first section left it. All the physi-
clans of tho city are aroused, the first
report being that eighteen people had
been killed and many injured.

Insurance Rates on Cotton Advanced.

LONDON, Jan. 21.-A very important
decision in relation to insurance on cot
ton has been reached by the fire insur-
ance companies of Great Britain. A Sc
oret conference was held of the repre-
sentatives OF various companies, at
which it was decided to advance the
present cotton insurance rates, the ad-
vance varying from 25 to so per cent
1t was also decided that after the new
rates go into effect the transfer OF cotton
policies to purchasers OF Gotten insured
will not be allowed. The purchasers
will have to take out new policies.
This new arrange mont affects cotton

THE TIMES.
ROANOKE. VA, JANUARY %. 1898
.CuARITAnLE WORK.

There is suffering in Roanoke. If it
had been . mild winter instead of the
severest on record there would not be
half as much. Weather which suspends
all out of door labor will make suffering
in any city. Other cities are worse of
than Roanoke. In Washington the Post
says there are 10000 sugering poor. The
plant rolls up from Lynchburg, Peters.
burg, Norfolk and Richmond.
Many cases of poverty, a majority OF
them, are due to improvidence or intem-
perance, but it is the better side Of hui
man nature to relieve distress without
inquiring too closely into the causes.
The work of charity organizations then
has several important functions to per-
form. First it wants to be thorough
and systematic. Second, it must avoid
duplication. Third, it must sustain
the spirit and independence of those it
would aid.
The fault OF indiscriminate aims Civ
ing is that it pauperizes all it reaches.
A man or woman who has once been
made an object of charity is apt to lose
the self.respect which is the mainstay
ofindependence. Therefore there should
be no gifts as gifts to the able bodied.
In every instance make them loans to
be repaid ION honor at the earliest OPP
portunity. 1t might not all come back,
but the principle would be established.
Tho mass-meeting Monday afternoon
should be attended by several hundred
of the leading men and women of Roam
oke. Its object is to aid the work of
the charitable organizations. It's mis-
sion can scarcely go further, for the ex-
listing organ izations need be only ex-
tended to amply cover the field. THE
TIMES, however, feels that charity will
fall short OF its most effective duty if it
does not make more strenuous effort
to render it's objects self.supporting at
all times. There is too much of chronic
poverty, due to misapplied energy or
lack of energy.
The matter OF dietary is an important
one. Corn meal, potatoes and soup beef
are far cheaper and moro nutritious
than flour and bacon.
To be thoroughly effective the chart
table organizations should have tabu-
lated statements or every object of
charity with full history Of the case.
With all sympathy for the Submerged
tenth" chronic poverty is disease
which needs to be studied like intemper.
ance and crime.

the desirability of disposing, at the

coal Waste.

The great quantities OF anthracite coal
wasted by the unsuitable methods resort
ed to in preparing it for market is the
subject of complaint by Mr.. Harris. the
head official Of the Lehigh Coal com
pany. These operations, he says, result
In reducing large proportion of the
coal to sizes too small for commercial
purposes, the percentage of waste from
this source averaging as high as 20 per
cent of the GOAL hoisted from the col
heries, this, however, having been some
what diminished in recent years by the
utilization of the smaller sizes of coal.
He thinks that this process-rescuing
coal from the waste heaps-is destined
to go much farther in the more general
use of coal in fine particles. He believes
that it may not be going too far to as
sumo that improved methods of mining
and of preparing coal may insure the
use as fuel Of one-half the coal now re-
naming, so that itmay be reckoned that
there are still not far from 5000, ,0OO. 900
tons of anthracite available before the
beds will be wholly exhausted. The
present annual consumption of anthra-
cite is about 40,O00,0 tons, and this
consumption has for some years been in!
creasing at the rate of per cent per an
num.-New York Sun.
