Balance OF the Baptist Church Debt
Pledged Last Sunday.

The work of securing pledges for the
liquidation of the debt of the Baptist
church, which was begun on Sunday of
last week, was completed last Sunday.
The subject of Rev. DR.. Marbles theme
at the morning service was "The Benef-
cence of Benehcence." Mr.. Marble spoke
but few minutes, however, when he re-
quested the ushers to pass through the
congregation with pledge cards, following
out the plan which was carried out on the
previous Sunday, as 1t was still necessary
to secure pledges for from $12 to SIS a
week for two years in order TO liquidate
the debt. The womans missionary and
aid society pledged itself to give $500 of
this amount. The ushers gathered up the
cards and found that not enough money
had been pledged. They again passed
through the congregation and again they
collected the cards, but still more money
was needed. The cards were given out
third time, and the amount pledged at
that distribution brought the total amount
up to more than enough to pay the entire
church debt. There will be slight shrink
age from the total amount pledged, but
the woman's missionary and aid society
has $3.50 in its treasury WIFI / has voted
to hold to Offset such shri Pl.

INTERVIEWS WITH ZOLA.
The Noted Author Will Write a Novel
on the Dreyfus Case.

LONDON, June THE st. James Gazette
publishes an interview between it's Paris
correspondent and NJ. Emile Zola, in the
course of which NJ Zola is represented as
having said: Il have entered the lists: am
a gladiator. l am fighting a great fight
which is by no means ended. i cannot write
any thing until the case is over, but then
intend 10 write a novel on the Dreyfus af-
fair. summing 1t all up and drawing from
ii additional conclusions which cannot be
clearly and convincingy stated yet. This
is my duty. | do not intend to seek any
financial advantage in performing it. 1 am

nonsensical statements of some anti-Dreyfus
newspapers, il is impossible 10 arrest

will again condemn me for speaking the
truth. intend TO appeal against the verdict
of the Versailles court and then the whole
matter Will go before another jury. l do
not think there will be a complete solution
before the end Of the summer. The inno-
cence Of Dreyfus has been recognized but
there are certain guilty persons who must
be punished If France is TO recover her
self-respect."

THE HAGUE. June 7.--Russias scheme
for a permanent arbitration tribunal con-
templates the institution of a tribunal for
a certain number of years to which will be
submitted the obligatory arbitration cases
enumerated in Article 10 of the Russian
project, already published, unless the pow
ers in conflict agree on special tribunal
to settle their differences. All cases of op-
tional arbitration may be submitted, and all
the powers who are signatories or otherwise
may submit their difficulties to this tribunal
by applying TO the permanent tribunal. APP
pendices to this agreement provide a basis
for the tribunal rules of procedure and the
creation of permanent bureau to sit at
The Hague.
LONDON, June S.-The Times in an edi-
torial discussing the proposal of the United
States delegation at the peace conference
to exempt private property at sea from
capture in time of war said: 1T must be
admitted that the proposal represents a long
and honorable position of American policy;
but it would be impossible for England to
accept such a suggestion unless all the
powers were prepared to bind themselves
never again to treat foodstuffs as contra
band of war. And even then no mere paper
agreement would afford adequate secur-
ity in so vital matter. If commerce is no
longer to be attacked at sea all the powers
might largely reduce their naval arma-
ments. but England must needs be the last

DETROIT, Mich, June THE dollar a
barrel war revenue tax on beer was the sub
ject of considerable adverse discussion in
the first days session of the thirty-ninth
annual convention of the United States
Brewers Association. 1t appeared from the
report of the board of trustees that the
trade has been somewhat demoralized by
the fact that some brewers add the entire
tax to the price of their beer. while others
of the publication committee asserted that
the army canteen had accomplished more
for the morals and discipline of the army
than all other agencies combined, and it
was added that Bishop Potter expressed an
almost universal conviction when he char
acterized Prohibitionists as band of igno-
rant, hypocritical, irresponsible and men,
dacious men. The annual report of the vigil
lance committee said: Prohibition con-
tinues to decline very rapidly; the number
Of its advocates grows smaller every year;
the arguments in it's favor have assumed
a degree of puerility which almost pre-
cludes their serious discussion by men of
average intelligence; the open contempt for
and f1agrant violations OF prohibition laws.

evils Of the absurd system are eagerly
