mems mes ting was held at Woodwa!d's

chanics'.
Large audiences were in both, while

vilion, where 10000 people listened to
four stirring addresses. The Police

pressed by the Various
Speakers.

The meeting at Mechanics Pavilion in
the interests of the Loro's day was a sue
cess in every way. Fully 10000 people
were Assem- oled in the auditorium when
the services began and not less than 1000
more were on the outside waiting for a
chance to get seat
1t was evident that neither the meetin o
for men at Woodward's nor the meeting
for women at the First Congregational
Church took all of either SEX In fact the
crowd was so great that for the first time
there was a complaint that the air was
not what it ought to be, and it took all OF
President Clark's pursuasive powers TO
prevent mum ber of people leaving the
hall after the first address.
There was much divergence of opinion
among the speakers regarding Just what
they thought to be the proper way to OBJ
serve the Sabbath, and this divergence
ranged all the way from strict Puritan
icai home-staying to a day in the parks
and museums. The last speaker, Rev.
Robert Johnston of London, Canada,
rather bad the best of the argument when
he said that until the church itself kept
the Sabbath holy it could not expect those
who were not mem bers 10 do so.
There was quite theatrical air about
the Police Glee Club, in full uniform,
which was brought in to entertain the
delegates just after there had been bitter
Remuneration of theaters. But the audi
ence fully appreciated the Lifeline" and
appIauded so strenuously that the clu
sang, Still. Still With Thee" and re-
ceived com pliments from both President
Clark and DR.. Strong. who addressed the
meeting upon the subject of The Civil
Sabbath"
Just after Miss Kay closed her address
on "Woman's Part in SUNDAY Obsery-
ance," large numbe of people in the
back part of the auditorium left their seats
and started for the door. President Clark
called them down, but he received the
reply that the air was too bad and they
were going where it was fresher. In order
that the next speaker Rev. w. H G.
Temple of Seattle, nigh. not be inter
pied by the exodus President Clark called
for music, and in ready and apt response

a beautiful day hat the little birds that

of the convention spirit and chirped so
merrily that the men couldn't help sing

unrelieved sea of masculinity soon van

heart of he most ambitious musical

man can't be as sick as a woman.
As a mans organization is simpler and
stronger, it follows that his ailments are
less complicated. He is not subject to the
chances and changes, physiologically, that
come to the average woman.
# woman is in good health there is no
more healthful employment than house
work. Generally speaking, there is no hap
pier woman in the world than the one who
is we'll and busy all day long making
home" for dear ones who depend upon
her. But how different when every breath
IS pain, every step torture This state of
health, in nine cases out of ten comes from
arrangements of the delicate, feminine or
gans of generation. The family doctor in
quires first concerning these. He most
usually insists upon an examination.
From this the modest woman naturally
shrinks. She is right. Excepting in very
unusual cases of female weakness" ex-
a1ninations are unnecessary. DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription is simple, natural
remedy for these ills. 1t cures gradually
safely, permanently. Here is one testi-
nIonial out of thousands

~ fine object lesson yester-
~ day of the way Christian
ISL EndeavorerS spend their
Sabbath. The churches were all
filled to overlooking, the big Pa
vilions would not hold those who
had come to hear themes of Chris
tianity discussed, and there was a
noticeable absence of delegates at
the Park and Cliff.
The feature at all the churches
was the prayer service, thing
unique in its way and peculiar to
the Christian Endeavorers.
1t was noticed that many of those
attending the convention took oc-
Casion to make a careful study of
the habits of the non-religious in
this City. They marveled at the
open saloons and the general Gus
tom of enjoying Sunday as a day
for pleasure rather than for media
ton. CaIifornians crowded the
beach by thousands, wandered
through the Park, and otherwise
spent the day in search Of pleasure,
but most of the Endeavorers at
tended church or spent the day in
meditations.

but their search proved futile. They failed to secure the least trace Of the men, as no one had seen them here lately.
 Yesterday morning Mrs. Terrill called at police headquarters again, on her way to Hill City. She gave the chief some additional pointers, and then went to Hill City, where she interviewed some of the relatives of Dove. On her return she stopped at police headquarters and told the chief that the relatives had not seen Arthur.
 Mrs TerriIl then repaired to the of flee of Recorder Peoples and took out a ceny which she placed in the hands Of the police. It was understood that this warrant was issued on the ground that Anderson had taken off property belong ing to Mrs. Terrill.
 Before leaving police headquarters Mrs. Terrill remarked that if she Gfdn't get this Dove she would find another dove that would suit her.
 She left yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock for Nashville, where she is now looking for the runaways.
 Both Dove and Anderson are well known in Chattanooga. The former has relatives residing in Hill City, while the latter is related to several prominent people in South Chattanooga. Dove and Anderson are about 20 years of age and both are good looking, and have the rep utaticn of being "mashers." Several of their friends remarked last night that they were smooth takers" and were much sought after by young ladies dur ing their residence here. Anderson and Dove left Chattanooga together about a year ago and went to Birmingham to solicit insurance.
