Safe Arrival IS Hailed With
Pride and Delight by An.

The arrival of the first baby IN the
household is the happiest and most inn
portant event of married life. The young
wife who is to become a mother delights
to think of the happiness in store for her
when the little one shall nestle upon her
breast and latterly she shall hear it lisp
the sweet and holy name, mother"
But her happy anticipation quickly van
ishes when she realizes the terrible pain
and suffering through which she must
pass while bringing the little one into
the world. An INDISPENSABLE fear of the
danger attendant upon the ordeal soon
dissipates her jOyfulness.
Thousands of women have learned
by experience that there Is absolutely
no necessity for the sufferings which at
tend childbirth; they know that by
the use of ''Aiother's FRIEND scien-

The recent territorial acquisitions, or
the recent requirement of the several is
lands by the United States, has added
greater interest in foreign mission work.
The former belief that it was proper to
look after home mission work fret mag
be true in local sense only. The larger
and greater Interest in the foreign work
only adds greater interest in the home
work. The object Of missions is more

Of the foreign heatAen. The home
heather will see the necessity of relieving
the foreign heather when his attention is
directed to their condition.
The American people are becoming
more familiar with the foreign mission
policy, and they more readily contribute
to this policy. The history of the GEN.
tnry has shown that the more religion we
export, the more remains at home; that
to the foreign field do not
lessen, but greatly increase the home en-
terprises Of the church; and the mis-
sions pay. in their reflex Influence on the
exp eace, life and growth of the home

sing His songs, work out His plans, and
send His Gospel to a redeemed but per-

and acts unbelief in. foreign missions,
talks and acts unbelief in Jesus Christ,

The people of Siam worship their king
with an infatnatiOn He has immense
palaces which cover several acres. and the
walls about them are several miles long.
Inside the walls there is little city laid
out in streets. Many Of the buildings
are of foreign style, and their elegance
denote artistic taste. Some of these
buildings are never entered by any man
except the king. These are The quarters
devoted to the kings wives, of whom his
m jes'y, it is said, has several hundred.
At the head of them is queen, who by
law is the kings half sister. All the
ladies' of the palace have short hair, like
the other women of the nation. Many
of them have foreign dresses. bu. they
usually wear the ordinary Siamese cos
tune, adding to it jacket of silks aud a
scarf around the shoulders

1865 introduced many Improvements, iu-
Guiding postofiice, mint, and an agri-
cultural department. There is now

ness and vice. Gambling is common.
Very few Siamesc are educated, and Of
the rich lands of the valley Of the Minam
only about One-twentieth is cultivated.
They worship idols. In Bangkok are
some gorgeous temples-beyond descrip-

with white plaster painted in many

of the palm trees. Some of the temple
spires are plated with gold, and one
temple. in which the king worships, has
a gold spire that cost one hundred thou

are ebony inlaid with mother of. pearl.
and one of the rooms has carpet of
woven silver. The temple contains an
idol twelve inches high aud eight inches
wide which is made Of pure gold ard
jewels. When The metal was yet liquid

stirred into it, and ont of the mixture

AN HISTORIC HOUSE.
Old-Time Residence In Washington of
Gen. John A. Logan.



Whatever else it may lack, the city Of
Washington has no dearth of historic
houses. One of the most interesting is the
Logan residence, built early in the century,
and purchased when in a sad state of neg

LOganspOrt Council Moving Rapidly
I'm the Telephone Matter.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.
LOGANSPORT, Ind, Nov. H.-The Com
mon Council of the city of Logansport will
meet tomorrow evening, when the special
committee, appointed at the last meeting
struction of municipal telephone plant,
will be ready to report. 1t is understood
the report is prepared and that the esti-
mates of the expert on the cost of con-
struction are in the committees hands. 1t
is said the committee has secured estimates
on the cost of construction of a plant equal
to the citys needs for some time TO come.
This will include the expense of placing
the wires under ground instead of on poles
as is now the case. The estimate which will
be submitted will show that a plant cap
able of giving service to one thousand
patrons, with the wires under ground, can
be constructed at a cost of $4,000, which
is the amount Mr.. Overshiner asks for his
plant in its present condition after having
been in service for five years, furnishing
a service for about five hundred patrons
The report will also show that telephones
can be rented at the price of 81 a month
for residences and SIS a month for bus
ineSs houses, and a plant furnishing Serv-
ice for five hundred patrons, which can be
constructed for about $4,000, can on this
basis be operated at a net annual profit
of about $3.50.
1t is also understood that the special COM
mittee appointed to confer with the repre-
sentatives of the Bell Company will be
ready to report, the understanding being
that the Bell Company will submit through
this committee a proposition for q new
franchise TO take the place of the one under
which the company IS now operating and
which expires in 1902.

CONFLICT OF sLAv AND SAXON
An AntagOnism Between Them that
