sEATTLE AND THE CHURCHES.

That was very serious statement
made before the Seattle Ministerial As
sOciatiOn. The population OF Seattle
= roundly placed at 10000, although 1t
- probably q few thousand more. but
out Of this number IL is estimated by
one who would naturally be careful In
any assertion he made, that there are
*. 900 people who never go to church.
Theirs y more than one lesson to be
learned from this statement. One les
son the ministers will learn; and that
-, there u good field here for their
eROrts. Another lesson to be learned
II that Il II tho height Of folly to as
sumo that $4,000 people out OF $4,000
are to be governed On strictly religious
principles.
In year or 90. when the now aroused
ministers have succeeded in bringing
the individual citizen and voter to their
way OF thinking. the citizen and voter
win voluntarily place himself under
regulations which the minister would
approve, but at the present moment. it
q folly for I'VE Or ten ministers, with
only 10000 congregation, to attempt to
force the other $4,000 to be guided by
those rules which seem most advisable
20 the minority.
For Z city Of it, size. Seattle has
very plentiful supply Of churches. In
Guiding the adjacent territory or
suburbs, there are ninety-one churches
or meeting places. Several OF these
will hold 1900 to 1900 people. and the
average Is probably 500 seating ca
pacity. This affords accommodation
for. say. $4,000 people. or tho entire
population OF women and children, even
II all the men stayed away.
II It takes ninety-one churches and
Say eighty ministers to gather In 10000
people, how many would It take for
the entire population at the same ratio2
The question Ia whether to increase the
number Of preachers to $50 or devise
some other means OF increasing the
congregation OF each minister. We
have variety enough. We have Ad-
ventistS. Baptists. Christians. Christian
ScieAtists. Congregationaiists. Episco-
pollans. Evangelicals, Free Methodists.
Greeks, Hebrews. I.utherans, Meth
odist Africans. Methodist Episcopa-
lians. Methodist Professionals. Presby-
terians. Catholics. unitarians and Tn
denominational Missions: and this does
not include the Salvation Army, the
Volunteers or the Theosophists.

raised to enable them to find an easy spot

NEGROES IN MILLS.
Two Hundred Women and Girls in At
anta Strike.

Atlanta, Aug. 1.-TWO hundred wo-
men and girls employed at the Fulton
Bag and Cotton Mills. in this city, struck
this morning because of the employment
of negro help by the management The
operatives learned yesterday that 25 col
ored women were to be put to wo-k in
the folding department to-day.
The white females employed in the
mills gathered abont the main entrance
this morning and awaited the arrival of
the president, Mr.. Jacob Elsas. The
newly employed negro women were al
ready there. When Mr.. Elsas came the
white women explained that they wanted
to know whether it was true that he pro-
posed to put nedroes to work with them.
He said that he did and the white women
refused to go to work.
At noon the 400 men employed in the
mills walked out in obedience to the or
ders of the Textile Workers. Union, and
in sympathy with the striking female
operatives. This forced the closing down
of the factory Strikers gathered in
angry groups about the mills, and for q
time it looked us if thel might he riot.
The Fulton Bag and Cotton Mills is
one OF the largest concerns of the kind
opeating in the South. The corporation is
successor to the old firm of Elsns, Nay e.
Co.. and Jacob Elsas is it's president.
About 500 men, women and children are
affected by the strike.

Pangi,lan,s Tree.

Peter Pangman is set down in Cana
dian annals as being the first white
man TO reach tho Rocky mountains, and
also the first white man ever to see
them from the east. While in the chi
ploy of fur traders he assembled the Sas-
katchewan above its junction with the
Clearwater, and, looking to the west
ward, he saw the white mass of the
Rocky mountains, to which he after
ward penetrated, but he marked this
spot of his first vision by carving his
name on pine, which from that day
became known as "Pangmnn' S tree
The great north country was far
enough off i'll 1900. Peter Pangman had
no special cause for believing that any
second person would pass that same
way. 1t was moro reasonable to sup.
pose TINT time or fire or wind would
destroy this one pine among the mil
lion other pines, and yet 1O7 years
after he made his rude inscription
'Pangman s tree" is spoken and writ
ten about. Some years after the North
west Fur company established post on
the Saskatchewan in the vicinity, which
came to be called Rocky Mountain
AANNoC' ''pp 'Aio push WAS QCSCIlDGQ DIV
its proximity to tho tree and not vice
versa All the travellers and traders Of
the early days speak of this place as
three miles below 'Pangman's tree. +"
Tho Rocky Mountain House took its
name because it was SO near this Rocky
mountain tree. The tree was II landmark
before the trading post and continued
to be after the post had ceased. A trans
continental railroad passes not far away
now, but it has not obliterated the
memory of the post nor blotted from
the minds Of men the living and leafy
monument
AS for Peter Pangman, he went into
history the day he carved his name in
the bark and identified himself with the
tree. After years Of plain and mountain
service he returned to the eastern parts
of what is now the Dominion of Canada
and bought lands and reared u family.
y son of his has been member of the
Canadian parliament This may pro
serve the name of the son, but as for
his father ho will be remembered over
IA great region and in histories and geog-
raphics as the author of "Pangmnn's
tree. "-kansas City Star.
