now seventy-five missions belonging to the
union as result of two conventions The
local mission is the largest and strongest
A friend of the mission has offered to
give one-half of the deficit in the current
expense account which amounts to 1927 "a
provided the mission secures cash or bona
tde subscriptions for the other half in two
weeks. The workers have already begun to
canvass. and the s2G5.67 appears to be in
sight. During the last two years the sub
scriptions to the Jo-cent fund have
amour ted to $,?i5.3S. This money is being
applied to the second trust, which now
amounts to between 5000 and 5000 In
addition to this money already paid in
there are subscriptions amounting to over
$1,000 more, SO that about $1,000 yet re-
mains to be paid. When this 5000 is
raised the mission will be in an excellent
first trust of S3o,OOO to care for This trust
1t is expected, will be cared for in other
ways, so that no uneasiness exists on the
score of it,

CONTINUED SUCCESS.
Bazaar of the Seasons at Calvary
Baptist Church.

Bazaar of the Seasons at Calvary
Baptist Church.
The bazaar of the seasons, which is going
at the Sunday school house of the Cal
vary Baptist Church, continued the sue
cess of the opening night last evening and
the large room was thronged with an eager
crowd Of generous people from early until
late. The bazaar was arranged by Mrs.
II. P. Sanders, who designed the various
booths and acted as general superintend-
ent of the scheme Of decorations and Is
for the purpose of raising funds to liquid
ate the debt Of 5000 which still remains
on the magnificent organ that was placed
In Calvary Church a short time ago. From
present indications the sum realized from
the affair will not fall many dollars short
of this amount, ard some of the managers
are sansuine enough to believe that the
receipts will exceed it.
A program of interesting and entertain
ing features was rendered last evening as
on the opening night. The ladies of the
choir rendered Schumann's Hunting Song,''
Miss Emily Sauter gave enjoyable recita-
tions and Mr.. George Lilebridge contrib
uted several tenor solos. Nine. Adele
Crcssette-Oxley sang the Creole Love
Song being followed by the tableaux,
which have become one Of the most popu-
lar features in connection with the bazaar.
Those given last night were 1.-The Vestal
Tucci," THE Echo" Satisfaction" Just
Landed" and several comic pictures. A
matinee was given this afternoon and the
bazaar will close tonight.

taken in hand by half dozen walters and
provided with enough edibles to appease the
hunger of a regiment. There were sand
wiches, salads, fruits and cakes galore,
with a mild punch without danger OF in
ebriation. There was coffee and ice cream,
and 1t was soon seen that age did not af-
feet the appetites of the members. Then

the pleasure loving puolic of the D1strlct
half a century ago. Messrs. Cults, Ball,

tables. pouch racks, rubber tires, and re-
quires a driver and four men to man it. In
days work Of seven trips 1870 pieces of
mail were collected by this force, and "a
per cent of it was taken directly to the
trains for which 1t was intended, avoiding
the delay involved in taking it to the main
office. The wagon has demonstrated that
30 per cent of the mail is local. and the rest
outbound. With enough wagons 60 per
cent of the mail matter could be taken
directly to the railroad stations without

A BAD LOT.
Eight Men From as Many Different Places
Sentenced for Drunkenness.

The police station was the scene of the
eight men, all claiming to be from differ
ent sections. They certainly were a sorry
looking lot Two of them had had a
fight, the previous afternoon, and they
were deplorable looking specimens Of hu-
manity.
These two had fight over the bottle of
miserable stuff which they have to thanl,
for the trouble all around. Orc had the
bottle and the other tried to take it from
him, and us the latter expressed it, make
away with it.
When asked by Recorder Goddard if his
antagonist had succeeded in making away
with it, the man looked sorry, and even
had to smile at his own wit WHEN he adj
nittcd that be had made away with it
himself, which had brough; him where he
was.
Another OF the crowd said that ali he
wanted was to get away. If he could
once gain his liberty, he said, he would
never show himself in the city again un
IL his disgrace had worn off, and then,
he said he would behave himself.
He was given Il chance. If he could
get outside of the town limits SO quickly
that none of the officers could get at him,
he was welcome.
There was no delay in acceptance. The
man fairly flew, headed, as he said, for
