church work. To make them feel that
they had a real church home was his OBJ
ject from the first. He began by going
into the tennis court and proving his
skill with the racket. The boys soon
found that he was a first class baseball
player and that he had few peers when
it came to performing on the horizontal
bar.
Gradually he established a reading
room and a gymnasium. The last is a
roomy, pleasant, we'll lighted floor,
which was equipped at an expense of
$500 with all kinds of athletic appara-
tus. Funds for its foundation were
originally provided by the sale of life
mem berships at $40 each and by associ-
ate and active mem berships ranging
from 81 to $40 year. Those who make
an annual subscription of So are given
keys to the gymnasium and allowed to
use it at any hour of the day or evening,
while those who hold 50 mem berships
are allotted certain convenient hours in
which to make use of the Indian clubs.
parallel bars and other apparatus for
physical development. An instructor of
athletics is also employed to give lessons
to evening GLASSES. which may be enter
ed without extra charge.
Nearly 200 young men have become
members of the gymnasium, and in
stead of being an expense it has been
found that the fees, together with tho
receipts from various entertainments,
provide more than enough money to pay
all the bills of this department Of church
work. When it was proposed to put in
bowling alleys some time ago, a novel
method of raising money was adopted.
DR.. Scadding called it an election par
ty, " and the name was an appropriate
one. On the night of the recent presi-
Dental election the managers Of the en-
terprise had made all the necessary ar
rangements for announcing the returns
Wires had been run into the guildroOm,
operators engaged and the bulletins read
as they were clicked OF the instruments.
An admission of IS cents was charged,
and the receipts were further swelled
BY the serving of refreshments by the
ladies. The affair was a big success, and
when the accounts were settled the di-
reotOrs of the gymnasium found shat
they had money enough to put IN the
bowling alley right away.
Two years Of experience with The
gymnasium has made the admirers of
Rector Scadding enthusiastic over the
possibilities of this kind Of church work
and has led them to take the broad
ground that any form of amusement
suitable for a Christian home is not too
worldly to be INDUCED ia under the
church roof. S. p. SCHENCK.

DON'T LET HIM COME BACH.
Time That Pete Callihan's Danish
ments Were Made Permanent

Pete Calihan, the notorious jointist,
who has served numerous terms in
both the city and county jails. was to
have been tried in the district court
today for violating the prOhibitory law.
But Callihan did not appear and his
bond was declared forfeited.
This is one of CalIihan's old tricks.
He secures a bond. and just before the
time comes for his case to be called
he leaves the city. Suit is seldom
commenced on bonds, and so Cauihan
manages to get off easily. After the
trouble has blown over he viii return
to the city and the county attorney
and sheriff will probably forget all
about his old case.
The bond is for $500 and is signed by
James FitzgibbOns and Owen Callihan.
Callihan's attorneys say they do not
know what has become of their client
The case will cost the county at least
500 for the witnesses who were sub
poenaed have appeared three days in
succession and they draw $3.50 a day
Early in the term the bond of Fritz
Durein, who was arrested on a similar
charge, was forfeited. Durein was
then in Kansas City. Since then he
has been seen in Topeka and made no
attempt at concealment. But he was
not arrested.

CHURCH ATHLETICS.
NEW AND SUCCESSFUL AIDS TO EVAN
COLLATION..

Rev Charles seadding Finds Billiards and
Bowling. Tennis and Baseball Effective
Agents In Accusing the Interest Of the
Young People of His Congregation.
Athletics are orthodox aids to evan
gelization according to the theory and
practice Of the Rev. Charles Scadding,
rector Of Emmanuel Episcopal church
at Lagrange. Ills. His parishioners,
who constitute one of the weaIthiest and
most fashionable congregations in that
handsome little superb Of Chicago, evil
IDENTIFY agree with him, for he is very
popular with all classes, and his inno-
vations in church work have been warm
" Endorsed.
Emmanuel church no longer depends
upon good music, regular services and
occasional church soci bles to retain its
hold on the young people. A reading
roOms a complete gymnasium, shower
baths and finally bowling alley add to
its aUtractiveness. Winter or summer
its doors are never closed before a rea-
sOnably late hour at night. On Sundays
may be heard the solemn chanting Of
the choir, the deep, sonorous tones Of
the organ and the measured oratory Of
the rector. but on weekday evenings
these sounds give place to the bif bang
of boxing gloves, the rattle of foils. the
low rumble Of balls on the long, shining
alleys, followed by the crash which ac-
companies a ten strike, shouts of "Set
'em up again on the other alleyl" and
the lively cries which young people who
are enjoying themselves are likely to
make use of.
Perhaps these novel church furnish
ings would cause some comment ON the
part of those who are apt to regard such
edifces as sacred and solemn places, but
the congregation of Emmanuel church
was gradually prepared for such innova-
tiOns and has come to look upon them
as the usual and proper adjunets for
fighting the sinful allurements of the
outside world.
Rev. Charles Scadding, the man who
has educated his flock up to the pitch
where tenpins and flying rings are con-
sidered appropriate for evangelical pur-
poses, is a graduate of Trinity college,

Iedo, Buffalo and New York.

tional executive committee and intrust-
ed largely with his party's interests in
his state during the campaign.
Mr.. Dawes was born in Marietta, o.,
about 81 years ago. He was educated at
Marietta college and the Cincinnati Law
school, and about eight years ago re-
moved to Lincoln, Neb., where he prac-
ticed law. While in that city he became
acquainted with William J. Bryan and
Senator Thurston. Mr.. Dawes was prom
inent in his profession and a leading
business man there.
Two years ago Mr.. Dawes removed to
Evanston, where he has since made his
home. He is president Of the Evanston
Gas company and is also interested in
gas companies in Akron, o.. and La
crosse, Wis. He is married and has two
children, his wife being q daughter of
W. b. Blymyer Of Walnut Hills, Gin
cinnati. Mr.. Dawes comes Of a good old
family. His father, General Dawes, was
one of the commanders of WiscOnsin's
famous Iron brigade, and he is direct
descendant of William Dawes, who took
the famous ride. only in an opposite di-
rectiOn, with Paul Revere.
The private secretary to the president
stands between the chief executive and
the hungry hordes of Office seekers and
cranks WI haunt the White House, and
he also serves as a medium of communi-
cation for men who have real business
with the president. To fulfill such duties
requires a deal of graceful tact and
skillful diplomacy, qualities which Mr..
Dawes 10 doubt possesses.

where she spent her childhood. She is a
great-nieee of Bishop Clark of Rhode
Island. When a girl, she was sent to
the preparatory school at Wellesley and
afterward went to Bryn Mawr. After
studying there for three years she went
to Leipsic and thence to Zurich. It was
while studying III the latter place that
she attended a Salvation Army meeting
for the first time and heard General
Booth speak. She at once became inter
ested in the work, and when later she
met General Booth at the house of a
friend she began to think about joining
the Army herself
A few months after this Miss CLARK
went to London to continue her studies
at the British museum and met Major
Susie Swift, a Vassar graduate, who
gave her an opportunity to study the
work which the Army was conducting
among the poor of the great city. After
another visit to the continent, and on
seeing more of the social side of the Sal
vationists' life, Miss Clark returned to
London, three years ago and entered
the ranks Of the Army, giving up her
scholarly work and undertaking any
task which was assigned to her.
