AN INTERESTING REPORT.

Special to the Register.
FAIRMONT. w. Va, November 20
It is rumored here among railroad peo-
pie to-day who are in a position to
know, that the Monongahela River rail
read will be purchased or leased by the
Baltimore & Ohio before January /,
1900. It cost, it is said, 100000 to
build the read from this city to Clarks-
burg and the stockholders held its pur-
chase price at 100000. With the
large increase in passenger and
freight transportation, and steadily
growing, it has made the Monongahela
River railroad one Of the best paying
roads for its length in this State,
which accounts for the large amount Of
money asked for it.

AGGRESSIVE
Missionary Work in Newly Ac-
quired Territory Determined
Upon by the, P. e. Board OF
Missions.

NEW YORK, November 20.-Aggres-
sive missionary work in the islands
acquired by the United States in the
war with Spain has been determined
upon by the beard of managers of mis-
sions of the Protestant Episcopal
Church in this country. This decision,
which was reached at a meeting Of the
board held in this city. is the result
Of long deliberation by the authorities
of the church. At the general eonven-
ticn held in Washington a year ago, q
commission on increased responsible
ties was appointed to investigate the
question. This commission, of which
Bishop Doane, Of Albany, was chair
man, reported in favor Of the extern
sion Of work to the islands at the mis-
sionary council recently he'd at St.
Louis. The report was unanimously
accepted by the council, and the COM
mission instructed to lay the matter be-
fore the board Of managers.
The plans Of the board for work in
the new field are outlined in the fol-
lowing resolutions adopted as a result
of Bishop Doane's report:
Resolved, That a special committee
of the board be appointed to make
known the opportunities and purposes
for the work fer which shall not only
care for cur own citizens, civilians and
soldiers, in this new possession and in
these new fields Of responsibility, but
shall also plart the church in those ISL
ands with such strength and attractive
ness as to show to the natives them
selves the better way Of the church
which, in the language OF one Of them,
is Catholic but not Roman"
Resolved, That the appeal Of this
committee shall ask for instant and
generous gifts, first toward church
buildings in Cuba. Porto Rico and
Manila; secondly, for an increased
clerical staff in the two first named
places, and for the reinforcement of the
clergy, who are now working in Ma
Mia; thirdly, for the opening of schools
in the three places and sending cut Of
Christian women to work in them as
teachers, and also aid in the care for
the sick; fourthly, for large supply
Of Spanish prayer-books,
Resolved, That the presiding bishop
be asked to appoint the bishop OF
Shanghai to. take the work in Manila
under his foresight; that the bishop of
Chicago be asked to make a visitation
to Porto Rico this winter. and that
the bishop of Pennsylvania, who is to
make visitation to Cuba, be asked to
visit Porto Rico as well, if the bishop
of Chicago is unable to go.

Il pLUCKY JANIT0R.


he Killed One Burglar and Wounded
Another
CHICAGO, November 20.-A. Swan
berg, janitor or a three story fat at
No. 1927 Wabansia avenue, early to-
day shot and killed one burglar and
wounded another. He was awakened
by noise on the back porch. Selling
his shot gun he awaited developments.
In a few minutes the window of his
apartment was raised. A head appear
ed, Swanberg fred and the burglar fell
forward into the room, the top Of his
head having been blown off by a charge
of shot The burglars companion took
to his heels with .Swanberg in pursuit.
AS the burglar was gaining, Swanberg
fired and, he says, wounded the man
in the leg before he disappeared in an
alley Swanberg has been arrested.
The dead man, who has not yet been
identified, was about 80 years old and
roughly dressed.

& large contract on hand and tele-
granhed to Major Gen. Otis, requesting
the presence of troops. But none are
available, except by Withdrawing part
OF the force from one Of the neighbor-
ing islands temporarily. The origin
al plan was to have Brig. Gen. Alfred
e. Bates establish the headquarters OF
the governorship of the Mahommedan
islands there, when the new regiments
arrived. 1t will be carried out later,
when Gen. Bates returns from his trip
to the southern Islands. He has been
visiting the garrisons Of Jolo, Siassi and
Bongalo. The friendliness of the Moras
for the Americans is increasing under
Gen. Bates diplomatic administration.
The threatened feuds of the Datoh5,
Jakainins and Calois against the Sultan
will probably be averted through the
pacific influence of the American Of
ficers.
Mindanao villagers have seized a
smuggling schooner bound from Iloilo
to Zamboanga, and supposed to be run
by two discharged soldiers. They muir
dered all the crew. Gen. Bates is now
on board the Yorktown, bound on a
months trip to Balabac and Borneo to
observe the methods followed by the
British in the government of the Ma
hommedans.

AN ENGLISH BEEF SCANDAL.

NEW YORK, November 2O.-A dis
patch, to the World says there is every
indication of big scandal about the
meat supplied to the troop ships sent to
South Africa. One of the Sunday week

'The new complaint in a letter from
St Vincent
To-day every soldier of the 1000 on
board, complained to the officers of
their companies that their dinners of
sailed beef were putrid. Col. Paget,
with the doctors and quartermasters,
inspected the messes and condemned
the foul carrion as being unfit for hui
man food.
Sixteen men are allowed twelve
pounds. On weighing it the twelve
pounds weighed in many cases only
three pounds and at the most under six
pounds. Fancy sixteen hungry men
sharing three pounds, including infer
nally great brisket bones. The whole

THE SAMOA TREATY.

NEW YORK, November 20.-A spe-
cial to the Herald from Washington
says: 1t is the expectation of Secretary
Hay that the treaty for the partition OF
Samoa will be finally disposed of this
week. Ambassador Choate is under
stood to have mailed the text of the
agreement reached by Germany and
Great Britain. When this is received
final arrangements for signing the
treaty will be made.
There is no doubt that this govern
ment is agreeable to the action taken
by the other powers in relation to Saw
and Upolu, so that nothing remains 10
be done except to formally sign the
convention.

blegram from Admiral Watson, dated
at Manila, to-day:


at Manila, to-day:
Commander Very. of the Castine,
with friendly natives and Moros, COM
bined, captured Zamboanga on the 10Th
inst. No casualties. Landing parties
from Castine and the Manila hold the
town with Fort Nazro, commanding it,
pending arrival of troons from Jolo
There is considerable force of insur-
gents at Mercedes. four miles away"
The acquisition of Zamboanga at
this time is Of great Importance from
military point CT view. 1t is the prin-
cipal city of Mindanao and dominates
the entire southern half Of that island,
which is second in importance only to
Luzon. 1t has a population of nearly
$4,000 people and is well fortified, SO
that small garrison of troops could
hold it indefinitely against native at
tacks. In addition it is a naval sta
ton where the SpaniarCs used to rem
devious their ships in the southern
archipelago.
Gen. Otis dispatch intimate5 that he
is somewhat embarrassed by the unex-
pected necessity of providing a garri
son speedily for zambcanga. 1t has
been suggested that the difficulty might
be met by garrisoning Zamboanga
with a battalion Of marines. one Of
which is understood now TO be avail

KeeDing Ones Temper,

Keeping the temper is one of the
rarest fruits of grace and one of the
strongest proofs of a true Christian
manhood. 1t takes more strength of
character to rule ones spirit and keep
insurgent passions under restraint
than to take a city. Yet the doing of
this is essential alike to peace and to
power for service. One might almost
venture the assertion that there is no
more prolific source of unrest and vex-
alton than unrestrained temper. and
that more Christian lives are marred
by it than by any other failing. How
slight and trivial. too. are many of the
occasions which lead to loss of temper!
A trifle, light as air, a petty affront. a
thoughtless word, a slight reverse or
disappointment. and we give vent to
storm of passion as though the sum of
all evils had suddenly come upon us.
Robert Browning, in The Ring and the
Book, expresses the folly of this in
graphic phrase when he describes it
as ''all hell let loose on butterfly" A
moments reflection. and we are
ashamed of ourselves that the balance
could be so easily disturbed. Losing
temper. we lose comfort and advantage
and influence.-Baptist Union

HE SHALL PROSPER WHO OBEYS

There is no royal road to right;
No victory comes a idle call;
Prosperity is not for might;
Fair Wisdom's S way is free to all.
This grand old law forever stays
That he shall prosper who obeys.
Old Israel heard with trembling awe,
Proclaimed from Sinais Mount sublime
The dictates of that righteous law
That echoes throughout all time.
God taught them in a thousand ways,
That he shall prosper who obeys.
Woe unto him who dares to spurn
The truth Jehovah maketh known!
Too late, alas! he yet shall learn
That right must not be overthrown.
Though retribution long delays,
He only prospers who obeys.
The cattle on thousand hills,
The sunsets mystic glory-bars,
The cataracts and mountain rills
The sun and moon and rolling stars,
All show-yea, heaven itself portrays-
That he shall prosper who obeys.
Let nations fear the Almighty God,
Repenting humbly in the dust
Nor stand beneath His lifted rod
But make His age-tried word their trust
Let us remember all our days
The nation prOspers that obeys.
