the fire where seen. Several fire extin-
guishers were borrowed from Elwood
Worrell and some from Fred Measey, and
with their assistance the hay was prevent
ed from bursting into flames and was all
removed, and the barn saved with only
slight damage.

nam Prnnartr Sold.

The title to the water power, including
the saw mill and grist mill buildings, was
transferred yesterday by Mrs Shreve to
The American Investment Company, of
New York. The sale includes all the
land owned by Mrs. Shreve above the mill
dam, meadow of about twenty acres be-
tween the dam and the saw mill, the race
way from the dam to the grist mill and
thence to its junction with the creek below
White street. with a narrow strip of land
on the south side of the race from the
dam to Pine street. None of the land
fronting on Mill street is included In the
sale and Mrs. Shreve also retains that
fronting on Pine street, except few feet
on the south side of the mill race, and a
few feet at the saw mill bridge.
A curious feature of the sale is that the
new owners of the grist mill cannot reach
the building over their own land until
they build road from Pine street, along
side the mill race, and even then the ar
rangement of the mill must be changed,
as there will be no room for a driveway
on the north of the building.
The purchasers intend to increase the
capacity of the water power by convert
ing the meadow into pond. Its location
makes this comparatively easy task. A
power house will be built adjoining the
mill dam, where the whole power will bt
converted into electrical energy. No ar
rangements have been completed yet fol
the utilization of this energy.
Besides this property The American In
vestment Company now own the electric
light plants at Moorestown, Merchant
vile and Haddonfield, and the gas plant
at Mount Holly and Merchhantville, anC
are negotiating for other properties il
Burlington county.

New York. Nov. 2O.-Aggressfve mis-
siOnary work in the islands acquired by
the United States in the war with
Spain has been determined upon by the
board of managers of missions 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 de-
liberation by the authorities of the
church. At the general convention held
in Washington a year ago, a commits
sion on increased responsibilities was
appointed to investigate the question
This commission, of which Bishop
DOane of Albany, was chairman, re-
ported in favor of the extension Of work
to the Islands at the missionary coun-
Gil concluded recently at St Louis The
report was unanimously accepted by the
council. and the commission instructed
to lay the matter before The board of
managers.
The plans of the board sor 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 necessities
for work which shall not only care for

REDWOOD TRUST.
Scheme to Control Pacific Vast Lum-
ber Industry.

Seattle, Wash. Nov. 2O.-Before Ieav-
ing here for the timber belt Frederick
Weyerhauser told his intimate friends
that he was interested in an eastern
syndicate which has an option on a
bulk of red wood timber lands, together
with twenty-four mills and 250 miles of
railroad in Humboldt county, Cali
fornia. The property in question is
owned by a number of large firms and
companies, including Charles Nelson,
Mckay & Co., the Union Lumber COM
pany and the Albion Lumber company.
The owners gave an option upon it last
summer which expired November 10.
This option was renewed and will now
remain in force until next May. The
purpose is to control the redwood lum-
Der industry and advance prices. The
deal involves property worth between
SIS. .OOO, 600 and 500 OOO, 600. 1t is stated
today that the timber lands which the
WeyerhaUser syndicate seeks to acquire
from the Northern Pacific Railroad
company consists chiefly of a tract
about forty miles square located in
Lewis, Chehais and Pacific counties,
where the Weyerhauser party now is.
Weyerhauser's purchase has caused
lOggers to advance the prices on fir
log to mills from $5 to $3.50 per thou

such strength and attractiveness as to
show to the natives themselves the
better way of the church, which, in the
language of one of them, is Catholic

Resolved, That the appeal of this
committee shall ask for instant and
generous gifts. first, toward church
buildings in Cuba, Porto Rico and Ma
Mia; secondly, for an increased cleri-
cal staff in the two first named places
and for the enforcement Of the clergy
who are now working in Manila; third
ly, for the opening of schools in the
three places and the sending out Of
Christian women to work in them as
teachers and also to aid in the care Of
the sick; and, fourthly, for a large sup
ply of Spanish prayer books.
Resolved, That the presiding bishop be
asked to appoint the bishop of Shang-
halt to take the work in Manila under
his foresight; that the bishop Of Chi
cagO be asked to make a visitation to
Porto Rico this winter, and that the

INDIA'S GOLD RESERVE.
Tt Is Making Much Trouble For Lon
don Financiers.

New York, Nov. 20-The London fin
ancial correspondent of the Times ca
bles:
Last week was much quieter in the
credit market than had been antici-
pated. For reasons explained in my
last letter, everybody feared large ap-
plications at the Bank of England on
Wednesday and not one took place On
Tuesday a few loans We're taken but
from fright, not necessity. Various
causes induced the market to Iniscal-
culate. Fewer treasury bills were
bought by bill brokers than had been
estimated, Japan and the national debt
office taking, perhaps, half of the 900 -
600 pounds issued between them and a
more potent influence, still the bank Of
England paid money out instead of
drawing it in. We all calculated by the
middle of the month, its enormous bill
case must be in process of emptying
and beginning to deplete the open mar
ket credits and forgot that in order to
insure these bills it had first to borrow
heavily from the market on stock Last
week its repayment of these loans gave
to the open market nearly 900, 600
pounds more than the bank had to re-
ceive on bills becoming payable. Ac-
cOrdingly time loans in the discount
market never rose above per cent
and We're usually 315 to 424 per cent In
its nervousness about money and in
fear OF a drop in New York, the ex-
change market had worked discount
to AS per cent, but in the last three
days of the week it fell back rapidly
and finished yesterday at AS per cent

A staff of eminent physicians and sur
geOns from the British Medical institute
have, at the urgent solicitation of a large
number of patients under their treat tmenC
in Topeka, established a permanent
branch in this city at No. 412 Topeka ave
These eminent gentlemen have decided
to give their services entirely free Tor
three months (medicines eXcepted) to all
invaids who call upon them for treatment
between now and January T. Ihese ser
vices consist not only of Consultation. ex-
animation and advice, but also of all min
or surgical operations.
The object in pursuing this course IS TO
become rapidly and personally acquainted
with the sick and afflicted, and under no
condition whatever will any charge be
made for any services rendered for three
months, to all who call before January
4th.
The doctors treat all forms of disease
in every case they undertake. At the
first interview a thorough eXam1nat1o
is made and if incurable you are frankly
and kindly told so, also advised against
spending your money for useless treat

govern discounts, but the drop would
not have been so rapid but for the ac-
ton of Secretary Gage in buying bonds
and the consequent recovery of your
exchange. Still we are not nearly out
of the woods, and the moment the mar
ket dips to a point that allows the con-
tinent to draw gold, We shall have an
other tug upward and another fright.
And just at a time when we require
all our gold the India council steps in
as a buyer on the fantastic plan
secuted last week. The Bank of Eng
land kept mum by order until Thurs
day, when all the press reports were
ushered in and told that the govern
ment of India had begun the accumula-
tion of a gold reserve here in order to
insure fixed value of the silver rupee.
Already 751. 900 pounds had been accum-
ulated. How is it dOne2 By the process
of conducting India toward bankruptcy.
The circulation of silver rupees is to
be restricted in India through the stop
page of the mints and as revenue pay
ments accumulate currency in the gov
merchants are compelled to buy
with which to procure currency
from the government stocks in
India. This forces exchange up, and
creates an artificial demand for the
means of remittance. A portion of the
proceeds of these sales is now to be in
vested in gold kept apart by the Bank
of England.
All the time, except when retrieved
by loans raised in England, English
demands on India are much in advance
of the trade balance in favor of India
