deed the blood of which has crilnsoned

hands have wrought. But beyond this.
he does not realize what in the natural
course OF things must be his fate-that

MISSIONARY DAVID.

Native of India Accredited With Su-
periOr Power as Evangelist.
President Bailey of the Central Union
Mission is being urged by some persons
who are interested in evangelical work to
take steps to bring to Washington V. D.
David, man who is regarded by many
who have heard him as the most remark
able evangelist who has ever appeared in
this country.
Mr.. Bailey, while on his vacation recent
ly, met this wonderful man at Mortified,
Mass, and talked with him concerning his
work. The former was deeply impressed
with what the evangelist told him, and is
convinced that if the man lives a few
years longer and continues as he has be-
ton.
David is a dark-skinned native of India,
where for years he was a preaching helper
in a Church of England mission station. A
gentleman, in speaking of him, said: His
work in India was without. to him, salts
factory results. Some days he would be
happy, and some days he would be SO
miserable that he would fly into a terrible
rage. He was continually haunted with the
thought that there was glorious kind of
life that one might lead, but he could not
find the way into it. Day and night he
searched the Scriptures, talked with phil
books of past and present masters, but all
in vain. He was like a man dying with
thirst on a desert He felt there was water
near, but he could not find it.
Finally. however. eight years ago, part
ly through a Salvation Army captain and
partly by prayer and study of the Bible
he discovered the life he had so long been
seeking. He was transformed. He trod as
it were, on air. Earth became PARADISE
life one grand, sweet song. He began to
shout and sing. People said he was mad
But he began to preach with such power
that 10000 persons were converted in three
months. Men and women by the score
would fall down to the ground and cry for
forgiveness as they listened to his words
He went to Australia, England, Scotland
and Ireland. preaching TO vast audiences
and showing thousands of people the way
to be healthy and rich all the time.
He receives no salary. He takes no COL
lections or subscriptions. He trusts In God
to send him money to pay the travelling ex-
penses of himself and companion, and to
support his wife, boy and mother and six
native preachers under him in India
lon the trains, at the railway stations.
in the open air, in vast auditoriums, in his
hotel room, everywhere and all the time, he
is explaining his discovery to spellbound
audiences. to anxious groups, to inquiring
individuals. He sleeps from two TO six
hours, eats one, two or three meals, as he
has the opportunity, and sometimes talks
for twelve to eighteen hours at a time"

SECRET GOLD EXPEDITION
Two Idaho Miners Discover Rich Diggings
in Alaska.
Keep the Location Quiet and Start
North With Party to Work
the Property.

SEATTLE, Wash, November 2.-Mystery
surrounds the sailing yesterday Of an Alas
kan expedition. The company is headed
by George Rennick, an Idaho mine operator.
He and his partner, George Finster. are
supposed to have been the only persons
who worked in the new camp. They came
out about sixty days ago and apparently
reliable authority says they brought with
them upward of $4,000 in gold dust, the
proceeds of about four months work. They
discovered the new diggings. the exact loca-
ton of which is jealously withheld from
the public. Rennick had been prospecting
years. After trying his fortune at Cook
inlet and Forty Mile he went to Stewart
river and then to the district where he
net with such f1attering success.
The diggings. SO far as can be learned.
are between Sitka and the mouth Of Cop
per river and about go miles from the
coast.
The expedition headed by Rennick con-
sists OF twenty men, all in the employ of
himself and partner. Financially they are
reported to be backed in the venture by
In which they sailed for the north yester-
day is steam schooner known as the Au-
gusta. Besides the men she had forty dogs
twenty sledS and about fifty tons of pro-
visions. From the sea the food Supplies
will be for the main part transported to
the new camp on the dog sleds. The
schooner, it is reported, will return to Seat
tie In February, when larger expedition
carrying horses and supplies will leave for
the same locality. The greatest secrecy
has surrounded movements of those man
aging the expedition.
