Proceedings of the Indian Baptist Collate
Association.

At the dawn of day Wednesday
morning, September p, 1898, the peo-
pie from all parts of the territory could
be seen coming into the town of Eu-
faula in their wagons and upon the
Indian ponies, and stretching their
tents upon the grounds Of the Indian
Baptist Collate Association. The trains
on the NJ. X & T. railroad going east
and north brought in large numbers Of
messengers and visitors Amidst the
heavy rain that fell Wednesday morn
ing the canvas wagons pulled in just
the same At 10 o'clock the little
church house was packed to it's ut
most capacity. The Rev. S. Solomon,
of Muskogee, preached the introduce
tory sermon to large and appreciative
audience The congregation sang and
praised God in the highest. Several
old time prayers and supplications
went up to God for his merces during
the past year. The moderator, Rev. j.
w. Harris of Fort Gibson, I. t., deliv-
cred his annual address which seemed
to fill the hearts of his Brethren with
iOv. Throughout the entire session
the spirit of God could be seen resting
upon the pustors and ministers and
messengers of the churches represent
ed. The associa tion is due great cred
it for the preaching and song services
which were up to date. Rev. Robus
followed Rev Solomon in preaching
the word of Christ He was then fol-
lowed by a Baptist host of ordained
elders, some from Texas, Arkansas,
Oklahoma and Kansas. 1t is said by
the people at large that the sermons
! preached by DR.. Burrell, Revs. Gill,
| Robus, Harrison, Solomon and Judge

/ minds of those who heard them. The
women of the home mission work had
two days for their WORK. They ap-

as their district missionary. 1t was q

Colored men have long been in the
habit of jumping into the political band
wagon at the first blast of the bomb ba-
zine, and when the campaign is over
they are not wanted even as cham ber-
maids for the horses that drew them.
Now suppose we learn to wait until the
right piece is played before we go
prancipg down the line to our place in
procession. And if the band wont play
for us, let us give the old Bangalo a
few blasts on our own hook. What
say you?-Denver Statesman.
Wrong, Bro. Hackly, we have waited
too long already; the right piece has
been played. Whenever we are sum
moned to the service of our country
our place in the procession should be
bv the side of our friends in the Repub-
lican party. II not. we will ask you
like Daniel Webster when asked by
his friends to leave John Tylers cabi-
net, ''whcre shall we go?''

She states that the vision told her
that on June 7, 1899, she was to become
the wife and constant companion Of

contented with the power to perform
miracles and heal the sick, this period

AN INNOCENT LAW BREAKER.

Innocent culprits do not always es-
cape punishment on account of their
Ignorance. One such offender did,
however, pass unmolested, although
she had. all unknowingly, grievously
broken the law.
It was over in Japan, and she was
an American girl. Unwittingly she
committed the offense of looking upon
ROYALTY. She had gone to the temple
of KeEannon, the goddess of mercy.
The temple is on a hill, and is reach
steps, she sat down in a little tea
house to rest. What happened while
she thus rested, she herself narrated
in the Buffalo Express.
She had closed her eyes and was
taking her ease. when she was sud
denly aroused by policeman, who
came very near and g]ared at her. His
words she could not understand She
turned and saw a gOrgeously robed
priest. followed by an old man, who
led by the hard a little girl about
eight years old. Several ladies were
in attendance
The visitor was interested in what
she saw As for the policeman, she
| imagined that he had told her she
| could not enter the temple to-day be-
| cause of some priestly function.
Soon another policeman came UP
! and glared at her, but as before she
was in ignorance of what he meant.
| She watched the party ascending the
steps, and thought what delicate
looking child the little girl was, and
| admired the fine old man who was with
| her.
It was not until she reached the ho-
tel that she learned what sin she
had committed. She had had the eff
frontery to look on royalty. That was
the cause of the black looks. She had
not only looked on royalty, but she
had looked down on royalty from hel
position above the steps.
Nothing but her ignorance Of the
language and customs of the country
mad carried her through. The two
little princesses are now in Kamakura
and if they walk on the beach the
whole place is cleared. No common
eve is allowed to see any of the fam
lily.

GILDED YOUTH WITH CoMMIsi

"The aristocracy Of pull as applied
to military appointments in this war,
by which the spns and relatives of
great men, dead and living. are hon.
ored without the slightest reference
to merit or ability to discharge the
duties Of the place they get, is IA
shameful scandal. The people are
outraged and Disguised by it. The

CARRIER PIGEONS IN WAR.
\ ProDOsal Has Been Made e Use
Then on the SCOUTING Vessels
a.. 80 -, on the Coast. ~

The experiments, WHICH the French
government is now making with carrier
pigeons are not novel, though from the
scientific way in which they are being
conducted it is believed that new data
as to the. efficiency of these swift birds
as messengers in time of war may be
gathered. Similar experiments have
been made in this country recently, not
ably those under the management of
Howard Carter, of the naval homing
pigeon service of New York, says the
Sun.
1t is calculated that the pigeons fly
at rate varying from 80 to 60 miles an
hour. This means that message from
ship 200 miles at sea might be sent to
the home loft in from four to five hours.
For instance, if the pigeons were re-
leased from scouting vessel TO give
warning Of the approach of an enemy's
vessel or fleet they could beat the aver
age patrol boat to store by Ten or ~
hours over 200-mile course. Such adj
vance warning would be OF great value
in an emergency. 1t is proposed, in
case of war. 10 place crates of these
pigeons on board the fastest patrol
boats which may be assigned to out
Size duty. :.
Mr.. Carriers method of training pi-
geons differs materially from that Of q
few years ago. he flies his birds sing.y
or in pairs al distances ranging from
ten to 400 miles from the home loft.
When they are released in pairs he
sends slow Lird with a swift one. He
found that the old style of taking a
basket full of birds and releasing them
at varying distances in lots Of ten or
Is didn't fit the pigeons for swift flights
when they were released singly. The
New York loft broke the record for $50
miles in 1896, and it is believed that if
the necessity for using pigeons arises
those from this loft will do good service
to this port. .-. -.

SHEATHING A SHIP.
Competition Metal Now Largely Used
and the Work Ia Quickly and
Handsomely Done. ...,e,1 ,,

Yachts built Of wood are sheathed
with copper, and go are many tugboats.
Merchant ships resometimes sheathed
with copper, but nowadays the material
most commonly used is u composition
metal. which in appearance resembles
brass. 1t does not wear so long as cop
per, but it costs less. The composition
metal comes in sheets about three feet
by one foot four inches. They are
fastened on the ships with nails of the
same material. Sometimes the sheath
ing is nailed directly on to the hull of
the ship. Sometimes it is nailed over
another sheathing of felt, which helps
to preserve the calking in the seams.
says the New York Sun.
When the ship has been placed in a
dry dock, or raised out of water on a
floating dock, the old metal is striped
off and if she is to have felt ST. eathinp
the bottom of the ship is drst painted
with a coat Of pitch. and the sheets of
felt are laid upon that, and then the
sheets of metz are nailed ON over them.
The work is done very rapidly, and, at
the same time, with great nicely. Every
nall head is sunk SO that it is flush with
the plate. If the hand were passed over
the sheathing anywhere it would be
found smooth. If the nail heads were
permitted to project they would, of
course, interfere with the speed of the
vessel.
Seventy-five men can sheath an 1900
ton ship in two days. The cost of
sheathing such ship with composition
metal, over felt, including material,
dock charges, labor, and everything,
would be about $4,000, or little less
and such sheath;ng would last about
two long voyages. " '.
