Dewey was opposed TO the annexation OF
the Philippines. The yarn was exactly

as renowned for wisdom as the jackass

expansonists who have made use Of this
piece of piece really believed In it.
For the benefit OF tho erring and dis
comtiture OF Pie, the Boston Journal
prints a portion of letter written by
George Dewey to the president Of the
Norwich University. that famous school
OF fighters:

be retained by the United States. Any
other arrangement will lead 10 no end

Dewey is not the man to look hack after

the best American authority on the Phil

JUBILEE.
OF the Disciples Organized Missions
Begun at Cincinnati Yesterday.

CINCINNATI, o., October 13.-The
Christian churches, or Disciples OF
Christ, began here to-day the jubilee OF
their organized missions. This denom-
ination, which began seventy-five years
ago under the leadership of DR.. Alex.
Campbell, and has had such distin-
i guished adherents as President Garfield
and Hon. Jeremiah S. Black, is now
more than a million strong. Three
fourths are in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois,
Missouri, Iowa, Kentucky and Kansas.
They are notably an active denomina-
ton in evangelical work. Over lO0,O0O
converts were added the present year.
This jubilee convention is represent
ed by three missionary soeletles-the
Christian Woman's Board of Missions,
the American Christian Missionary So
ciety, and the Foreign Christian MIS-
sionary Society 1t is in no sense a
legislative body and never deals IN
trials. Delegates and visitors are here
from foreign countries. Fully lOVoo
are expected by tomorrow.
Among the pioneer preachers are Rev.
c. T. Loos, of Kentucky; Rev. n.
Pritchard, of Indiana; Rev. Robert Moi
felt, OF Ohio; and Rev. w. T. Moore, OF
Missouri. This year has been highly
successful in missionary contributions,
the total being over half million dol
lars
The feature will be the celebration of
the Lords supper in Music Hall Sun
day afternoon, when five thousand COM
muni1ants will partake.
Tho Christina Woman's Board OF
Missions began its sessions to-day with
the adde's CT Mrs. o. A. Burgess, pres
ide,pt MiAs Lois A. White, secretary,
presented the annual report. This is
the only woman's missionary society
that both raises and disburses its funds
without authority of men. One OF its
features is the maintenance of Bible
chairs in connection with the Sta-e uni
versities Prof G. P. Coler has the
chair at Ann Arbor and Prof c. A.
Young at Charlottesville, Va.
Mrs. 0, A. Burgess, Of Indianapolis,
called the Woman's Board to order.
The report OF the secretary, Miss Lois
A. White, showed that over one hun
dred thousand dollars had been raised
the past year for missions. The report
OF Miss Helen Moses on the Bible chair
movement was loudly applauded 1t
is the purpose to establish such a chair
for English Bible instruction at every
State university. Prof. Coler, who oc-
cupies this chair at Ann Arbor, made
an address.
