RUSSELL H. CONWELL. C h ur 1t h G
Grace Baptist, at the corner of North
Broad and Berks streets-he has built
up college, chartered by the state
with curriculum modelled after Prince
toms, where 120 students are taking
the regular college course, and where
8, 500 others are getting instruction day
after day and night after night in all
sorts Of studies, practical and otherwise
This college has q faculty of 40 profess
ors, who give thoir whole attention to
this work. Tho students are the plain
people--the poor-and each pays $5 q
year tuition, and with these fees and
gifts that are coming in all the time the
college is self supporting Next fall it
is expected that the college will have
5000 students. In addition to all this,
the church supports public hospital Of
% beds.
The church building is practically a
club. It's basement is fitted up in vari-
GUS suits of rooms, where the members
spend their afternoons and evenings. In
one part of the building the business
men have their room, where they sit
and chat Or read or hold meetings Of
various kinds Over in another part of
the place the young men or young wom-
en- have their social apartments The
boys Of the church have a military Or
ganization and drill regularly, and the
athletic association has its own athletic
ground.
Dr.. Conwell, the man who has accom-
plished all this, started to preach in
Philadelphia 12 years ago with church
Of 90 members. He had been preacher
only about two years before he went to
Philadelphia. Before that he had been
a lawyer for 10 years in Boston and be-
fore that a reporter, an editor and SOL
der. He is self made man and was
born on q farm in Worthington, Mass,
81 years ago He was q student at Yale
when the war came on, and at the age
Of 10 he led a company from Massa-
chusetts to the field. He saw the sharp
est tkind Of service and during his SOL
dier career was wounded twice. He
came out Of the war lieutenant colonel.
DR.. Conwell's church is known as The
Temple, and his college is incorporated

900 year, but with his lectures he
earns $25, 600 probably. To run the
church costs $33, 900 year. To run
the college costs $2S, To run the
Samaritan hospital costs $25, 000 For
| five years Or. Conwell supported the
college himself. giving part of his salary
and the proceeds of his lectures to it.
DR.. Conwell is not a sensational
preacher in the generally accepted use
Of that term. He often speaks on topics
| Of current interest, but he also breaches
what might be called doctrinal sermons
He has slow, deliberate speech, a res
onant voice, uses the simplest words,
recites anecdotes, gives much popular
information in his talks, rises to olo-
quence occasionally and always speaks
extemporaneously

dealt very fairly and generously with
the Terminal, and it would now be very

the company to charge higher rate.

A LuolcRous DUEL.
Tho Preacher Chose the Weapons and Van

One way Of combating an evil prac
ticc is to make it ridiculous. 1t was by
this means that dueling was stopped IL
certain district Of Kentucby some 40
years ago. At that time a travelling
preacher named Bowman, strong, mus
cular man, was conducting a series Of
religious meetings in kentucky. At one
Of them well known desperate charac
ser created disturbance, and being
publicly rebuked by Bowman sent him
challenge to fight.
The preachers first thought was to
treat tho matter with silent contempt
Then he reflected that dueling was al.
too common in that region, and he de
cided to accept the challenge
AS the challenged party, Bowman
had the choice Of weapons. He selected
n half bushel of large Irish potatoes and
stipulated that his opponent must stand
10 PAGES distant, and that only one po-
tato at time should be taken from the
measure.
The desperate was furious, but Bow
man insisted upon bis rights as the chal-
lenged party and threatened to denouncc
the fellow as coward If he made fur
ther objections. Seeing no way out Of
the scrape, the desperate at last consent

skirts Of the town, and almost everybody
in the place turned cut to see the fun
The seconds arranged the two men i'll
position, by the side Of each being a
half bushel measure filed with good
sized potatoes.
Bowman threw the first one. It strucl
his opponent in central spot and fe1.
in pieces A shout Of delight went W
from the crowd which flurried the des
porado, and his potato flew wide OF the
mark.
Bowman watched his chance, and ov-
cry time his oponent stopped for po-
tato another one hit him in the side,
leaving wet spot on his clothes an0
then scattering on all Sides The fellow
was hit in this way five times Their
the sixth potato struck him in the short

The bystanders went wild with de

and put to bed, and there he staid for
more than week, and when he again
appeared he was greeted with so many
jokes that life was almost burden to
him.

Petroleum..

The theory that the remains Of ami
mails form the raw materials from which
petroleum is formed by nature is still
held by some prominent scientists. And
as to the manner in which the organic
substances of those animals became de-
composed DR.. Engler sets forth as q
primary starting point the fact that such
substances consists essentially of nitrog-
enated material and fat, the former cas-
lily decomposed, the latter very staple,
as has been well known for long time
and demonstrated by exact investiga-
tions, examples in proof being the wax
of cadavers in old graves, the fat in the
bones of mammals thousands of years
old, and the fat on the bottom of the
ocean recently found.
Whether and how the fat was &C.
composed in this long period by the wa
ter splitting up glycerol and forming
the free acid-for instance, the fat in
tho bones of mammals-cannot be an
swered, but both fat and the fatty
acids form petroleum when distilled
under pressure. One Of the many pos
sibilities cited by DR.. Engler, by which
the mechanical process of the transmu-
tation of fat into petroleum may have
taken place, is that remains of the char
acter in question, wrapped in mud and
transported by the currents in the ocean,
easily accumulate, and, later on, under
the pressure of sedimentary layers or
strata-perhaps under the Influence of
heat, too-are transformed into petro-
leum.-Ns-- Wcr'- S-7-
