TRACT SOCIETY WORK
THE CHRISTLY MESSAGE CAR
RIED EVERYWHERE
Christian Prayers Are Asked, but the
Most Pressing Need Is
for More Money

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Wash
ington annual meeting of the American
Tract society was held tonight in the
West Street Presbyterian church, Rev.
William C. Alexander, D. D., pastor, Sem
ator Burrows presiding. Rev. Judson
Swift, field secretary. of New York, pre-
sented a brief report of the society's
work An earnest, eloquent sermon was
preached by DR.. Alexander, pastor of the
church The report called attention to
the fact that 5000, 900 of the population
are outside the church and that there
was no more important work to be done
in this country than that of carrying
the gospel to the millions. 1t stated that
the American Tract snoietv publishes
evanueucaI truth in 153 languages and
dialects: the total number of volumes in
all languages published in New York
reaches 81, SOC, 900, and the total number
of books and tracts nearly 500, ,0O0. 900. and
the total periodicals owed 200, 100000.
Through Its missionary. Col. Portage.
the report says, the society has carried
the gospel truth to the out-of-the-way
places and into the congested wards OF
the cities. TT has gone into the lumber
camps, the mining regions and the
sparsely settled districts, leaving the
Christly message among those people
who were entirely destitute of all re-
ligious privileges. Hundreds OF SUNDAY
schools have been organized and devo'
tional services held in log cabins, school
houses and oftentimes in the open air.
The whole number of family visits since
the society began its house to house
work is over IA 500, 900 and the NUMBER
of families prayed with on religious sub
iects amounts to nearly S,500,OO0. 1t is
impossible to tell the far-reaching re-
suits of this noble work. Thousands ana
tens of thousands have been won 10
Christ through it's instrumentality."
The work on Ellis island was spoken OF
as being of great Importance in that the
colporteurs have the gospel truth III
some form to the large numbers that are
arriving daily on our shores.
The report also called attention to the
| fact that the society's income had been
lessened by the falling off in legacies OF
nearly $50, 600 during the past year, ana
that the great need at the present time
was an increase in donations.
An earnest appeal was made to all
who are interested in Christian work to
aid by both their prayers and means
| this noble cause.

There wac some Improvement on the
stock exchange at the beginning of last
week in consequence of the impression
that the Eastern trouble would be tided
over, but this was followed by relapse
on Friday after the receipt Of the unfa-
vorab,e news from the Turko-Greele
frontier. After this relapse there was a
partial recovery on Saturday. The mar
ket, apart from the fluctuations due to
news from the Eaet has been favorable
since the bank reduced its rate. A large
amount cf money is now finding its way
to the ste ok exchange. Home funds and
railways in particular have profted by
this and are showing in general, sub
stantial advances. Foreign securities

DURRANT'S CASE
Attorney Deuprey Does Not Give Up
Hope

SAN FRANCISCO, April n.-Eugene
". Deuprey, of counsel for Theodore
Durrant, has not given up the fight that
he has been making for two years to save
his client from the gallows. On the
contrary he says the contest Is far from
it's conclusion, and he ventures the opin-
ion that Durrant viii not be hanged for
two years, If he shall be put to death at
all.
Aside from the statement that he will
fight the judgment of Judge Bahrs in
the highest court of the land, Mr.. Deu-
prey does not care at this time to dis
cuss his plans ar length. He admits,
however that if everything else shall
fail, an appeal will be made to Governor
Budd to take such action as the evidence
submitted TO him may seem to justify.
The first move OF the defense will be
to obtain ruling from the supreme
court on the application made Saturday
for a writ of probable cause. This, II
granted would merely result in bring
ing Durrant back to the county jail
pending a decision by the supreme court
on the appeal from Judge Bahr's judg-
| ment, notice of which was given Satur-

LOOKS LIKE LEISURE.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 1k-Mrs.
Jeannine Young, the woman who as
sumed the name of Mrs. d. NJ. Delmas,
is not a baroness after all. The man she
married in Oakland on Saturday and
with whom she is now speeding across
the continent on her wedding tour, is
not the Baron Robert Ludwig Won Turk

"This rascal entrapped the woman into
a marriage with him." said Attorney
Hutton for Miss Young, in the presence
of Chief of Police Lees last night. 1T
was a trick of Delmas to get her out of
the state. Won Arnold was in Stilwelrs

ishly on the day of the wedding. as well
as the $1,000 he paid the woman for her
interest in the property Delmas bough,
for her. came from Delmas through Still
well.
"But the trick will avail Delmas moth
ing. The wedding party will be stopped
a. Ogden or some place this side Of Og-
den and Won Arnold will be brought
back to Sacramento by order Of Chief OF
Police Drew of that city to answer
charge of perjury. Once inside this
state he will be held, if he escapes the
charge of perjury. to await requisition
from Kentucky, where he wanted for a
forgery committed in Louisville. The
marriage ceremony with Miss Young
was illegal because Won Arnold made
Misrepresentation to her. She will
come back to this city and If 1 am any
Judge OF character she will make things
hotter than ever for the men that had
the trick played on her."

Prof. Irby, of North Carolina State
College, furnishes the following to
the progressive farmer:
We believe in small, well-tilled
farms; that the soil must be fed as
well as the owner, so that the crops
shall make the farm and the farmer
rich.
We believe in thorough drainage,
in deep blowing, and in labor-saving
implements.
We believe in good fences, barns
conveniently arranged, good or
chards and gardens, and plenty of
Lome-raised hog and hOminy.
We believe in raising pure bred
stock or in grading up the best to be
gotten; they equal the thorough
breds.
We believe in growing the best
variety of farm crops and saving the
choicest for seed.
We believe in fertillzing the brain
phosphorus as well as applying it to
the soil.
We believe in the proper care of
application of barn yard manure.
We believe that the best fertilizers
are of little value unless accompa-
MED by industry, enterprise and in
telligence.
We believe in rotation, diversifi-
cation and thorough cultivation of
crops.
We believe that every farm should
own a good farmer and that every
| GOOD farmer will eventually own a
good farm.

constant user of insecticides, to
know their compositions and uses,

effect upon sap suckers, nor will
kerosine destroy those which devOur

We can hardly expect to grow
beautiful trees for long number of
years on the same spot of ground
without adding some fertility to the
soil.
Trees are money if they are train.
ed and cared for. Too often the
pruning and shaping of trees is post
poned until it can not be done etfec-
tually.
Why not make rows of cherries,
peaches, apples or plums in many
suitable places across the farm? BY
and by they will be renumerative,
and seem almost indispensable.
Do not get it into your head that
the small fruits need no attention
after the crop is off until the next
spring. If so treated there Will prob
ably be no crop next season to call
for attention.
Without any further expense than
that of planting the young trees,
lanes. fence rows and highways can
all be lined with growing maple,
elm, oak or other sorts, and these
will be growing in value every year.
