COULD HAVE LED.
Ballington Booth Might Have Been
Head of Salvation Army.
Mrs. Booth Utters a Parable at Chicago
which Gives . Clearer Insight Into
the SchIsm That Gave Birth to
the Volunteers.

In the guise of parable Mrs. Balling-
ton Booth made statement at Chicago
The other night at the Peoples institute
Volunteer rally that, if true, casts a
new light on the separation of her hus-
band from the ranks of her fathers
army. She declared that when the
shadow of the present had lifted and
left the facts clear the writer's of the
history of the schism would liken the
commander to David, at whom King
Saul cast the javelin, and who, when he
afterward had the king in his power,
vet let him go free rather than take the
crown that might have been his own.
Stripped of its fgurative garb, this
could mean nothing more nor less than
that Darlington Booth had the oppor-
tunity while still in the Salvation Army
of deposing his father from power and
himself assuming the functions of gen.
eralship. Mrs. Booth made this even
clearer as she proceeded.
"When he could have led" she said,
she refused to grasp the opportunity,
and, instead preferred to go out with
his little band, even though he bore
with him the stigma of dismissal in dis
grace-for he was dismissed"
Mrs. Booth, continuing, asserted that
at the time they left the Salvation Army
they had no idea of starting new
movement. "We thought only of rest"
she said, "and though we knew that in
the end we would enter into some form
of Christian work we believed it would
be as Independent church workers and
speakers. The call came to lead the or
ganization now known to the world as
the Volunteers, and after we were sat
isfied that it was Divine in its injunc-
ton we needed it, and accepted the
posts of honor and trust"

PLEASURE RESORT FOR POOR
Outing to Be Provided Those Unable to
Take One.


J. Pierpont Morgan has become the
owner OF Iona, the picturesque island in
the extreme northern part of ROckland
county, n. Y. He intends, it is said, to
convert the island into pleasure resort
for poor families in New York city
who can't afford the expense Of an out
ing for themselves.
Iona, apart from its fame as a pic
mic ground, has an interesting history.
1t contains about 300 acres of land, 200
of which are swamp. Three historic
peaks of the highlands look down upon
it-Dunderberg, Bear mountain and
Anthony's Nose In 1860 the island was
owned by DR.. Grant, who lived there
and grew grapevines and choice fruit
trees. He had a vineyard of 20 acres,
from 1000 to 1900 bearing pear trees
and small fruit of every kind. He had
IL propagation houses, and produced
more grape and other plants than all
other farms in the country.
The island is upon the dividing line
of temperature. The sea breeze stops
there, and the effects of this are visible
upon vegetation. The season is two
weeks earlier than at Newburg, only
IA miles northward. 1t is at the lower
entrance to this mountain range. The
width of the river between it and An
thongs Nose is only three-eighths of a
mile-lcsS than at any other point be
low ALBANY.

Railroad Companies Will Attempt to
Utilize the Arid Lands.
If plans now being formulated by the
railroad companies can be successfully
carried out the arid eastern section of
Colorado will be converted into fruitful
farm land.
AS explained by w. W. Lunger, land
inspector of the Union Pacific Railway
company, the railroad officials propose
to introduce varieties of agriculture and
horticulture that are adapted to the soil
3f eastern Colorado as it now stands.
To do this requires great deal of inves-
LEGATION and experiment. An effort will
be made at cnce, it is said, to get aid
from congress toward this end. If no
aid can be obtained from this source the
railway managers may act alone.
Experts in agriculture and horticul-
tUre and the effects of climate, altitude
and drought on these two will be sent
into Siberia, Persia and other high
countries which possess the general
climatic and physical characteristics
of this region. They will find out what
staple crops are raised by cultivators of
farm and garden products and speci-
mems of these will be sent to Colorado
from planting in the arid eastern terri
tory

ROMANCE OF TWO LITTLE GIRLS
Their Humble Homes to BE Enriched by
Fortune from Over the Sea.

More than 40 years ago there was q
wealthy owner of large shipping in.
terests living on the castled Rhine. He
had a daughter, and a poor ship car.
penter dared to raise his eyes to her,
They married in spite of opposition,
and, the father having cast off the
daughter, the pair embarked on the
stormy sea and found their way to the
land of the free and the home of the
brave. They tarried in New York long
enough to learn the English language
and spend most of the money they had
brought with them, and then they came
to the glowing west.
They had two children, and then the
mother died. The father died also when
the eldest of the two little girls was
but three years old, and Father Pela-
morgues found homes for both. They
have since grown to womanhood and
married. One is the wife of Louis
Nahrgang, of Davenport; the other is
the wife of Mr.. Stevens, of Dewitt.
A short time ago there came a letter
from the Swiss consul at Chicago all
nouncing the death of an uncle who
had kept in his possession for 20 years
fortune of 100000 francs (about $780,
OOO) which had been left by the wealthy
owner of the shipping interests to his
daughter, whom this uncle had made
no effort to find. He left papers, how
ever, indicating to whom the money
belonged, and as the identity of Mrs.
Nahrgang and Mrs. Stevens is clear and
undisputed they will get snug sum of
money to divide between them, after
the percentages which go to sundry
state institutions in Switzerland have
been subtracted.
Mr.. Nahrgang remains serenely I'M
disturbed, and the lathe which he OPP
crates at the w. II. Noss Manufacture
ing company's shops continues to en-
gage his attention.

IMMENSE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Contracts Signed for Biggest Plant of Its
Kind in the World.

Kind in the World.
Contracts have been signed for the
construction of an electric power sta
ton at Berlin, which will be the big
gest plant of its kind known to the
electric world. The electrical equip
ment of the Nantasket branch by the
Consolidated road was the first step to-
ward the operation of the trunk line
by electricity, and the construction of
this immense power station at Berlin
is the second. 1t will, from a central
point, operate the Berlin and Middle
town branches and the New England
tracks from New Britain to Hartford.
1t will also operate the electric sys-
tenn in Meriden and light all the rail
way stations, including the one at Hart
ford. This will be the first electric
plant which has ever operated a road
in four different directions. The rail
road officials in this country and in
Europe have been watching closely each
step taken by the consolidated roads
towards the adoption of electricity for
motive power. A number of western
roads are now in consultation with the
officials of the Consolidated with a view
towards introducing electricity on their

A MECHANICAL PITCHER.
Gun That Is Likely to RevolutiOnize the
Game of Baseball.

Prof. Hinton, of Princeton, gave the
first public exhibition of his baseball
pitching machine the other night in the
university gymnasium. The gun,
which is a short, breech loading cannon,
"a inches in length and placed upon 4
two-wheeled carriage, was put at one
end of the gymnasium. At the other
end was a net, at which the professor
pitched several balls from his cannon.
All were successful and the curves
could be seen as distinctly as if sent
from the hands of one of Princeton's
varsity twirlers.
In the lecture Prof. Hinton told OF
his early experiments with the machine,
how the ball was made to curve, and
how he expected that the national
game would receive great change

LABOR FROM GERMANY THE CABINET IN SESSION Will INCREASE RANM Campbell ANXIOUS
WILL BE A LARGE INCREASE IN
FRUIT SHIPMENTS.
Mr.. Wilson Believes that the New Ca
madam Seamer Will Benefit Homo
lulu-His Ideas on Cable Matters.

james Wilson, the superintendent of
the Canadian Pacific Telegraph Com
pany, who was here recently with his
family, has returned to Vancouver. In
an interview with the Vonc0uver
News-Advertiser the following is
printed:
Mr.. Wilson was naturally interested
in the view which the people i'll Homo
lulu take on the question of cable
communication with the Islands. All
classes appear to realize how import
ant such communication muso be to
the commercial and general interests
of the country, and many of the peo-
pie consider that the Hawaiian Gov
ernment made a mistake when 1t sent
and took possession of Necllar Island
to prevent it being taken by the Brit
ish Government as a station for the
Pacific cable. The island is aboTt 200
miles from Honolulu, and branch
Island to connect with the Pacific
cable, and thereby give communication
with the outer world. AS the cable
will not he laid to any land nos under
the British flag, the nearest station will
be on the Tanning islands, about COO
miles distant. To lay a branch cable
large expenditure that it would prob
ably prove an Improbable enterprise,
as its business would, of course, be
purely local. BY treaty arrangements
between the United States and the Ha-
waiian Governments, the latter cannot
give permission for any foreign cable
to touch its territory without the
formers permission.
ASKED about the annexation NOV
ment on the Islands, Mr.. Wilson said
that, of course, as Il stranger, only
express much of an opinion upon the
matter. Many of the planters are
afraid that annexation would seriously
interfere with the labor on the planta-
tions. while, on the other hand, de-
cision hostile to the movement might
lead the United States to abandon the
reciprocity treaty.
"The sugar crop has been very
good one this season. The cultivation
of rice is being extended, while coffee
planting is giving encouraging results.
General business appears to be good.
When the third steamer is put on the
line so that shippers can be certain of
the day on which vessel will arrive
Mr. Wilson thinks there will be a
large increase in the fruit shipments
to Vancouver.
