been largely increased during the war
with Cuba and with the United States.
In all proba bility 1t nearly approaches
that of the United States, and. con-
sidered according to population, is six
times as great.
These comparative statistics become
of unusual interest in view of the cam
paign claims now being made by the
Popocrats in the West where cOnven-
tions have solemnly resolved that our
country is trembling on the verge Of
financial ruin because of the enormous
public debt. The figures show that
most of the civilized countries of the
world far exceed us in this respect.
Considered with reference to popula-
ton, France owes eight times as much,
England six times, Austria Hungary
five times, Italy five times. Prussia
three times. Turkey three times,
Greece four times, Russia two times,
and some of the South American coun-
tries as high as ten times. But this
does not tell all the story. for when
the comparison is made with reference
to wealth, resources and average an
nual productions, the disparity be-
comes enormously greater.

The TriIby Lnst Sunday.

The fact that the war is over does not
seem 10 have the slightest effect in deter

Miss Ma Belle is suffering with a
third attack of appendicitis with a pert
tonitis complication. Several severe con-
vulsions occurred yesterday. and while
her case is not regarded as hopeless. her
physician says her condition Is extremely
critical.
Her position is a peculiar one-one
which appeals TO the tenderness and pity
OF woman. and the pity and chivalry of
men. This beautiful woman Is lying at
the very point OF death with not a re-

Her physician, DR.. Rudolph r. Teusler.
has done everything that a doctor could
do to alleviate her suffering and over
come the terrible disease with which she
has twice before battled in a DEATH

CALLED TO TEACH.
Rev. j. \. Morehend Resigns English
Lutheran Church Pnstornte.

Rev. J. A. Morehead, pastor Of the
First English Evangelical Lutheran
church. has resigned his charge to accept
| a professorship in the Lutheran Theo-
logical Seminary at Charleston, 5. c.
Mr.. Morehead made the announcement
| Of his determination to the congregation
of the Seventh-Street church after, service
on Sunday morning. TO the majority OF
those present the announcement came as
a very sad surprise, though the fact OF
the call had been before the church coun-
ell for four weeks.
CALLED \ SECOND TINE.
It is the second time that Mr.. More
head has been called to this work, and
though his personal inclinations were all
in favor of remaiping with his present
charge. he felt that the coincidence OF
second call to this particular field was
imperative, and he was deeply moved
as he read his letter of resignation 10
the members of his flock. When the pur-
port OF this letter was grasped many OF
those in the congregation burst into Tears
Without any debate at all motion was
made and seconded that the resignation
should be accepted, but when the ques-
tion was put every one present voted III
the negative. Mr. Morehead expressed In
very earnest terms his high appreciation
OF the action OF the congregation, but IN
sisted that he could not disregard this
second call. though he would Infinitely
prefer to remain in Richmond. Several
members Of the church council spoke
supporting Mr.. Moreheads position, and
saying that they had given the matter
most careful consideration, and had re-
luctantly come 20 view the matter In the
same light as The pastor.
THEY RELUCTANTLY CONSENT
A member OF the congregation moved
that a committee Of five should be APP
pointed 10 consider the resignation, and
report 10 the congregation next Sunday.
Mr.. Morehead thereupon urged that i'm
mediate action should be taken, as he
was under an obligation to telegraph his
answer on Monday evening The motion
was amended so as 10 give the committee
power TO act, and TO provide for a con-
ference with the pastor on Monday morn
ing. This motion was. however, subse-
quently withdrawn, upon the earnest rep
resertation of the pastor and members
of the council. and Mr.. Moreheads mo-
ton was subsequently accepted. Many
tributes were paid to the pastor whose
regime of four years has been so un-
eauiyocally successful, by prominent
members OF the congregation and the
evident deep sorrow Of the pastor and
his people was touching in the extreme.
Mr. Morehead will leave for Charleston
at the end OF this month. The Church
Council met last night TO make prelimi-
nary arrangements for the extension of
call but no definite action was taken.
