QUESTION AT ISSUE.
Difficulty Between Southern Railway
and It's Employees


An organization of the employees of The
Southern Railway Company is in session at
Harris Hall. About fifty delegates, repre-
senting the engineers, firemen, conductors
brakemen and switchmen of the system,
are in attendance. Capt r. w. Moore of
Danville is the presiding officer of the ses-
sions. II is understood that the men are
dissatisfied because of the fact that the
contracts governing the schedules and rules
of pay not the same as those which
they signed three years ago with the Rich
mond and Danville, to which the company,
the Southern railway, is successor by pur-
chase. These contracts expired upon the
sale of the Richmond and Danville. The
Southern system comprehends other roads
which were not associated with the Rich
mond and Danville, and on these lines,
which have been Incorporated at divers
times with the Southern Company, differ
ent schedules are in force. The men want
one schedule to govern the whole system
and favor the application to all the lines CT
the schedule in force on the Richmond and
Danville at the time of it's purchase by the
Southern. The officials of the company
state that the schedules are approximately
Identical, but agree to accede to the desires
of the men at an early day. Delegates
from the convention have had interviews
with Third Vice President Baldwin. He
gave them the promise that the schedule
should be made uniform at the earliest
ZINE pracucaple, out tnls seems not to be
satisfactory to the men, and ii is under
stood that they have asked that the proper
officers of the Brotherhood of Locomotive
Engineers and Firemen come to Washing
ton to emphasize their wishes in this mat
ter. Each of the delegates whom The Star
man approached refused to say anything
about the object of their meeting.
Third Vice President Baldwin of the
Southern Railway Company declares that
he has no fear of a strike of the employees
on the system as result of the refusal of
the company to change the time and pay
schedules

opening prayer Miss Ella Knight sang a
solo. and then Rev. Thomas Chalmers Las
ton, d. D., delivered the sermon. After a
hymn, DR.. Bittinger In his capacity Of
stated clerk of the presbytery, propounded
the usual constitutional questions to the
new minister all which were answered
strictly according to Presbyterian doctrine
Rev. Howard Wilbur Ennis delivered the
charge to the pastor, and Rev. f. ID. Bailey
the charge to the people. A hymn followed
and then the services were closed by Rev.
Mr. Skellenger pronouncing the benedic-
ton. The members of the congregation
gathered around their pastor, each speaking
a few encouraging words, and then the
ceremony was ever.
Sketch of the Pastor.
Daniel Wesley Skellenger was born in
1854 near Morristown, in Morris county, N
j. At the age of fifteen years he had his
first business experience, engaging as a
weigher and shipper of iron ore from the
Morris Co.'S mines to the furnaces in Penn
sylvania. Later, entering mercantile life
he went to Chester, N. j., and then to Pot
tersvihe At the latter place young Skel-
lenger became deeply imbued with a spirit
of Christianity, and after a year of con-
sultation decided to enter the ministry
Rev. j. l.. McNair of Bedminster prepared
him for Rutgers College, which he entered
In 1913, graduating third in his class four
years later with the degree of A. NJ. The
first four men of this class were remark
able, in that each one had a mark of at
least $50 per cent or over. After a three
years course at the New Brunswick Theo-
logical Seminary, Rev. Mr.. Skellenger was
sent to his first charge at Dun Ellen, N. j.,
from which he was assigned, four years
after, as associate pastor of the Fourth
Presbyterian Church of Albany, the pulpit
of which vas then occupied by Rev. An
drew Van Vranken Raymond, d. D., now
president Of Union College. His second
charge was the Washburn Street Church of
Scranton, Pa, during the pastorate of
which the membership increased from 800
to 4O6, and church costing $4,000 was
built and fully paid for. The congregation
of Sixth Church sent him a call last June,
which was not accepted, but another call
brought him here in August for a look over
the field, and in September he decided .,
come, preaching his first sermon the second
Sunday of November. Mr.. Skellenger takes
the place of Rev. Scott F. Hershey, who
goes 10 First Church, Boston.

AFFAIRS IN GEORGETOWN.
A Pleasant Presentation to a Popular
Minister.

~
Minister.
The funeral of Mrs. Ann Ockershausen,
wife of John Ockershausen, the well-known
baker, will take place today. Deceased
was born in Germany sixty eight years ago.
Her residence in this place has extended
over a period of thirty-two years. Mrs.
Ockershausen was widely known and high
ly thought of in German circles.
Counting Heads.
The policemen detailed to take the census
in Georgetown expect to complete the emu
meration by Monday night. BY Thursday
the various reports will be put together
and the total number of inhabitants deter
mined. 1t is thought that Georgetown's
population will show up more heavily than
when the last count was made.
4 Presentation.
Ostensibly for the purpose of preparing
costumes and making arrangements for
the Christmas cantata, a large member
ship presented itself at the Dumbarton
Avenue Church last night, and, through a
pretense, secured the presence of their
pastor, the Rev. DR.. Sttt There he was
taken by surprise and presented with twen-
ty-five silver dollars a memento of the
twenty-tifth anniversary of his marriage.
which occurred yesterday. Mr.. George T.
Woodward made the presentation speech
feelingly and in choice words. Rev. DIR.
Stitt was overwhelmed for a moment. Then
he expressed his deep appreciation of the
congregations thoughtfulness, and handed
the silver to his wife. She acknowledged
ii appropriately. For fear that their pastor
would engage himself last night before the
presentation took place, representatives OF
the congregation requested the Rev. Drs.
Rice and Weiderman of Washington to call
at the parsonage and hold the pastor there.
In addition to the present of silver mag
nificent bouquet of American beauty roses
was presented with the compliments of
some of his Masonic friends. Mr. Isaac
Birch made the presentation.

Dyes-Absolutely Fast Black.
Il is only within toe last few years that
it has been possible for an inexperienced
person to dye black that would not
crock, fade, or wash out Even mill
dyed black goods were rarely absolutely
fast.
The advent of three diamond dye fast
blacks, for wool. for cotton. and for silk
and feat hers, has changed all this Now,
with ten cent package of one of these
dyes, the first trial gives perfect success.
The directions on the packages are SO
plain and simple that even child can get
better results than the experienced dyer
could few years ago
The prevailing fashion for black stock
ings feathers. gowns and cloaks, and the
fact that anything can be colored with
diamond dyes black that will not crock
or fade, explains their almost universal
use
The peculiar way in which the diamond
dye fast blacks are made, gives them a
great superiority over all other methods
of home dyeing.
There are some forty other colors OF
diamond dyes. each Of which Is thoroughly
reliable, and 0s superior to limitations as
sunlight is to moonlight.

A mia for bribery.

We were surprised to see that Gov
ernor Mckinley in a recent speech com
mended the action Of the Louisiana sugar
planters in changing front and coming
out as supporters Of the Republican
party. If the Republican party have no
more principle than to favor any class
Of people. merely for the sake Of getting
their votes, they viii soon lose their
prestige as the party Of moral Ideas To
encourage such accessions as this is an
admission that the party which does IL
is willing to bride anyone who will vote
their ticket.
1t is well known fact that the Louis.
lana sugar planters have made this move.
ment with the hope, and in the expecta-
ton, that the Republican party will give
them back the bounty on sugar which
the last Congress abrogated. They in
effect say: eve are not Republicans, we
never have been and we detest your
party butwe win vote for it II you will
pay us for doing So" This is said
publicly, and do the Republicans Of this
country understand that in commencing
this course Of the sugar planters they
say in effect Eyes, 60 on and vote for us
and we viii pay you for it. We will tax
the people that raise corn, potatoes and
that are engaged In other pursuits, to
pay you bounty on the sugar you

It is well understood that many polit-
ical promises are made Ebroken, but
the Republicans who fancy that It Will
be easy to make promise like this and
then break it are very much mistaken
as they are likely to find to their sorrow,
one Of these days Neither party in tn,
