BAPTIST YOUNG PEOPLES UNION
National Gathering OF the Society Opens
in Baltimore thursday

Boston, July 16.-Following close upon
the heels of the Christian EndeaVor con-
Vention, before half the visitors attracted
by that event have left the city, the men,
bers of the Massachusetts Baptist Young
Peoples Union gathered here this morn
ing, and at o'clock this afternoon left on
a special train for Baltimore, where the
national gathering of the society will open
on Thursday. The tremendous strength
of the Christian Endeavor society has
caused considerable alarm among the old
er members of the clergy, of the Presby
terrain church in particular A large pro-
portion of the Presbyterian ministers are
of the opinion that the organization
should in some way be made subordinate
to the general assembly, instead of being
absolutely independent as it now is.
The Methodsts and Baptists have fore
stalled this difficulty by the organization
of the Epworth League and the Young
Peoples Union under the auspices of the
church authorities. The opposition on the
part of the Presbyterians is largely due
to the fact that the Christian Endeavor
societies in the different churches invaria-
bly, use their influence in favor of the ap-
pointment of young ministers. over 700
ministers of the northern Presbyterian
church, mostly men of middle age and ad-
vanced years, are without charges, while
the seven theological seminaries are turn.

CHANDLER is NOT A CANDIDATE
Has No LODgings for the Position Of
Vice President.

Washington, July Ex-senator Chandler
has seen fit to deny the stories that he is
candidate for the vice presidency and
asserts that he is a sincere supporter of
Reed for president. His nomination would
require a western man for the vice presi-
dental nomination. Senator Chandler Is
quite as much opposed to the gold mo-
nometallism of Cleveland and Carlisle as
he is to the free silver coinage by the
United States alone Indeed, if the choice
is to be forced between the single gold
standard and the single silver standard,
he has already stated that he is not in
favor of the former. Such choice, he does
not believe, however, it will be necessary
to take Mr.. Chandler stands for repuub-
lican bimetallsm, which he believes the
republican party will be able to secure
and perpetuate when restored to political
power in all branches of the national gov
eminent. 1t may also be stated upon Mr.
Chambers authority that this is the plat
form upon which Reed will stand as
presidential candidate.

Chicago, July 16.-The deluge of argu-
ment on the silver question that has
been poured forth from the press and
platform of the country for the past
six months is as nothing in comparison
with the great war of words known as
the Horr-Harvey free silver debate

CUSTOMS EMPLOYEES MUST BE FIT
Promotions OF Incapable People VIII BE
Few Hereafter.

Washington, July 16.-The president has
Just promulgated a new rule modifying
the old customs rule of the civil service
The effect of this rule is to greatly limit
the number of promotions in classified
customs districts, except after appropri-
ate examinations. The necessity for the
change in the rules arises from the fact
that the extension of classification in the
customs service on the second of Novem-
Der last over positions paying salaries of
less than $500 opened the doors for the
promotion of many persons who had en-
tered the service through presidential OF
political favoritism. The old rule would
permit these persons after they were
brought into the classified service to be
advanced to many of the best paying po-
sitions in the office without examination.
Under the new rule, promotions can be
made only to a limited extent without ex-
animation and no promotion can be made
from one grade to another without an
appropriate examination.

ANSWER IN THE FAIR WILL CASE

tors Have No Rights

tors Have No Rights
San Francisco, July 16.-An answer was
filed today in the suit filed by Charles L.
Fair to test the validity of the ironclad
trust clause in his fathers will. The ans
wer is that of the plaintiffs sisters and his
brother-in-law. Theresa Oelrichs, Virginia
Fair and Herman Oelrichs, and is in the
nature of a confession of judgment. The
defendants in their answer admit that the
claims of the four executors under James
G. Fairs will are without any right or
foundation in law or equity. The defend
ants ask for such relief as may be con-
sistent with the case made by the plain
tiff. Charles Fair, in his action to test
the validity of the trust, had named his
sisters as co-defendants with the trustees.
The executors of the will have not yet
answered, and until they do the issue can
not be properly joined for a contest.

Of persons. and one only. and that is
the host of impecunious drunkards.
says Chicago Times Herald.
"Zim" 1t is called, and Its users are
known by the euphonious designation
of zim-zams. 1t is thus explained by a
concocter Of mixed drinks:
There comes a zim-zam," remarked
the head bartender of a downtown
hotel as he slipped stick into lemon-
ade, for which a bell-boy was waiting
to carry to tippling crowd up stairs.
The solitary bystander turned In the
direction indicated by the bartender,
only to have his eyes rest on q young
man Of apparent weak character. There
was pallid look on his face and q
shifting glance in his eyes. and,
decision in his entire makeup.
Don't know what a zim-zam is?"
said the bartender, lifting his voice in
surprise In answer to query. Just
watch that fellow and see the drink for
which he calls and you may understand.
He will call for zim. A zim Is mix
ture Of brandy, beer, Rhine wine and
absinthe In equal parts. The whole
makes only one-half of a whisky glass.
What commends 1t to its users is it's
power, for one dose, or half a glassful,
is guaranteed to intoxicate. Most of
the hends are not we'll provided with
money. They want to reacn the condi-
tlon that comes to the drinker who uses
only straight drinks after the absorp-
ton Of many glasses. Without money,
were 1t not for the zim, this would be
an impossibility. Some one working on
the theory that mixed drinks intoxicate
sooner than straight drinks invented
the new tipple and 1t caught on i'm
mediately. Do many use it? Well,
guess that there are not less than 10, 900
devotees in this city. and they are as
much slaves to it as the smokers Of
opium are to the drug that brings them
at first delight and later death, for the
habit presents not only an opportunity
for getting cheap drunk, but 1t has
fascination from which its users ap-
parently cannot escape"

direct line for the coast of Catalina, and
released. A few days later the same
birds were taken greater distance
away-say three or four miles from
home-and liberated. In this manner
the several succeeding journeys were
gradually heightened until San Pedro,
the seaport of Los Angeles. twenty-five
miles distant, was reached. Then the
pigeons were taken aboard the steamer
and set at liberty few miles out at sea,
increasing the distance upon the four
