SIx-YEAR-oLD BOY ExHoRTER.
New Jersey Lad of Tender Years Stirs
People by an Outburst Of
Religious FervOr,

A sudden outburst of religious fer
vor on the part of Charles fisher, six
year-old boy, has aroused the people
of Groveville, N. j., to high pitch of
excitement.
Young fisher discourses on the Bible
with the understanding of one far be-
yond his years and the eloquence of his
exhortations have aroused many men
and women who consider him inspired.
At the age of five years the boy began
to attend the Sunday school connected
with the Groveville church, and from
the first he took deep interest in his
lessons.
The Bible was read to him by his
parents and the boy memorized whole
chapters. He surprised his parents
by getting up in prayer meeting one
night and exhorting those who had not
confessed Christ to do so.

NO PLACE FOR POOR MAN.
opinion OF the Oregon Volunteers
Regarding Agricultural Oppor.
tunities in the Philippines.

With view of obtaining reliable in
formation regarding the agriculture
and other wealth-producing possibili.
ties of the Philippines, the San Fran
cisco Call has interviewed large num-
Der of the Oregon volunteers whose
long stay on the islands afforded them
excellent opportunities for observa-
ton. Most of the troops believe that
the land of the Philippines is we'll
adapted for American agriculture with
the exception Of the cultivation of
wheat, but they add that nearly all of
the agricultural land and certainly the
best of it is in the possession Of the
church authorities, and would have to
be purchased by intending settlers.
The soldiers of the Oregon regiment
are almost to man in emphatic oppo-
sition even to the suggestion of maxi
ing natives Of the Philippines citizens
OF the United States, although the opin-
ion seems to prevail that American
labor laws could advantageously be put
in operation on the islands. AS for
Americans working in the Philippines,
the soldiers declare that it is utterly
out of the question. The heat is too
intense and the climate generally too
enervating. The Philippines, they say,
are the last lands on the earth for poor
men to seek with purpose of improv-
ing their conditions.

CAN RESTORE GAS FLOWS
Experiments Made by Herbert Esten,
Scientist, In Abandoned
Indiana Wells.

Herbert Estell, scientist, claims to
have discovered the chemical secret for
making the Indiana natural gas reser-
voir perennial, and he displays several
old abandoned wells now producing
gas, the result of his experiments. He
advances the claim that gas wells be-
come weak and ''go out" simply be-
cause the pores of the rock become
filled and cemented, thus shutting off
the gas. He made, this discovery, he
claims, by getting piece of the Tren-
ton rock from an abandoned well. He
has discovered chemical which will
dissolve the cement and open the gas
passages again. 1t is lowered to the
bottom of the well afterit is thorough
ly cleaned and then an explosion sends
it in every direction. 1t then eats open
the pores. Public tests are to be made
at Anderson, Ind.

Constable Stanton, of Warren, ILL.,, had
been married since December 4, 1890, TO
Albert E. Carlton, of Cripple Creek, Col.

has made only two visits to Warren, and
not until the other day did even the
Stanton family know the couple were

REMEDY FOR TUBERCULOSIS.
DIR. Mendel Calls Attention of French
Academy of Medicine to His
New Treatment.

Another remedy for tuberculosis has
been called to the attention of the
French Academy of Medicine by DR..
Mendel. Commercial Agent Atwell at
Raubaix advises the state department
at Washington that this new method
OF treating bronchial and pulmonary
diseases has, been tried with some sue
cess. DR.. Mendel injects daily into the
bronchial tube essence of eucalyptus,
thyme and cinnamon, held in solution
in olive oil. The oil in descending slow
ly comes into contact with the walls
OF the tube and the upper lungs. The
gas that is set free saturates the air in
the lungs and acts on the mucous MEM
branes as far as the air penetrates. DR..
Mendel has thus far treated sixteen
tuberculosis patients and two suffering
from simple bronchitis. In all these
cases he has noted after,a treatment of
one or two weeks lessening or COM
plete cessation of the cough andexpec-
toration, as well as return of sleep,
appetite and strength.

RUSSELL SAGE YOUNG AS EVER
The New York Millionaire Celebrates
His Eighty-Third birthday by
Working at Desk.

Russell Sage was SO years old the
other day. He did not celebrate the an
niversary by changing his business
habits in any particular, but he re-
ceived at his Office in the Bank of Com
merce building at least two score
friends who called to congratulate him.
Many of them said if there had been
any change in Mr.. Sage since the last
anniversary of his birth it was that he
had grown younger in appearance and
carriage. He certainly appeared, as he
shook hands with callers in his office,
to be quarter of century behind the
record, and attended to the details of
his business with even more vim than
is usual with him.
Mr.. Sage is now considered as one of
the largest money lenders in the Wall
street district. His attention to his
vast business interests is wholly en-
crossing and his average days employ
ment is such as men half his age would
either shun OF divide with his partners
or confidential employees. In his loan
transactions he is said to handle more
money than any other man on the
"street."

AN AGED PEDESTRIAN.
An Old Woman who Walks from
Bangor, Me-, to New York
City Each Year.

Mary Harley, 80 years old, who has
walked to New York city from Bangor,
Me-, every year since she was 16 years
old, earning her way by selling lead
pencils, was forced to seek refuge in the
fremont station house the other day.
She was arraigned in court technically
charged with vagrancy. She told Mag
istrate Flammer that she wanted to
see the Marquis De Lafayette in 1924
when he came to New York city, and as
she did not have money enough she de-
cided to walk down from her home.
Miss Harley said she managed to have
splendid time on her trip, saw the
Marquis De Lafayette, got back home
safely and felt better than when she
started. She said she enjoyed herself
so much that she took the trip next
year and every year thereafter. The
clerks of the court got up fund of
$3.50, with which they purchased her
stock of pencils and she was set free.

CRATER OF RED-HOT ROCKS.
A Party of Idaho Engineers Makes n
Remarkable Discovery
in n Lake.

A most remarkable discovery has
been made by party of engineers who
were sent out in the interest Of the pro-
posed Idaho Midland railroad. Near
the Boise-Blaine county line they
camped on lake, in which they bathed
One of the more venturesome of the
party swan out considerable dis
tance, when he encountered current
OF very warm water. The party built
a raft and went out to investigate.
They discovered that body Of hot wa
ter was being belched up in the middle
Of the lake. They let down rope over
$50 feet long, with a rock tied to the
end, and 1t did not touch bottom. Out
side the hot-water area the depth of the
lake is only about IS feet, and the wa
ter is cold-moderately so near the
heated circumference, but almost too
cold to battle in nearer the shore.
When the rock was pulled up It was
found to be too hot to lay hands on. A
thermometer was then set down, at
tached to the rock, and it showed
temperature of over 100 degrees. The
lake is believed to be over crater of
red-hot rocks. A more extended in
vestigation is to be made as soon as
possible.

FAv0Rs DEpoRT1NG NEGRO.
bishop Turner, of Georgia, Wants
Congress to Appropriate $780,
100000 for the Purpose,

At the Episcopal council of the bish-
ops and elders of the African Methodist
Episcopal church at Birmingham, Ala,
resolution was adopted suggesting
to the general conference, to meet at
Columbus, O., next May that it may
petition the congress of the United
States to appropriate $1o0,OOO,OOO to
defray the expenses of deporting the
negroes from the United States to some
other country where they would be by
themselves.
The resolution was fathered by Bish-
op II. M. Turner, of Georgia, who took
the position that there is a deter
mined alienation between the races
and that it cannot be harmonized ex-
cept by separation. He discounte-
nanced the theory that harmony can be
effected by Christian influences, which
he declared was a mere subterfuge to
delay a movement that could be put
into execution at once.
The council also adopted resolutions
condemning the lawless blacks for reck-
less criminality and the vicious element
of the whites who, will not await the
action OF the law, but rush to the rope
and slaughter.

WILL BE REMODELED
Plan on Foot to Reorganize the Ger
man Consular System.
Under Present system the Consuls
Have No Practical Acquaintance
with Industrial Processes OF
Mercantile Usages.

According to Consul General Mason
at Berlin, there Is a plan on foot to re-
organize the German consular system,
which has deteriorated during recent
years. Under the present system con-
suls were educated as lawyers and dip
lomats, underwent q period of training
in the foreign Office, and became typical
Prussian officials, with a good command
of languages, fair knowledge Of diplo-
macy, international law, and the his
tory of treaties, but no practical ac-
quaintance with Industrial processes,
commercial values, or mercantile
usages.
As trained officials belonging to the
privileged class many of the imperial
consuls have evinced certain con-
tempt for trade and those engaged in
It and have rejected requests for COM
mercial aid and information as form
ing no part Of their official duties.
The eXigencies of the wholly new sit
uation have been developed during the
last ten years-stimulated as N broad
ly hinted, by the recognized efficiency
of American and other consuls in OBJ
tanning valuable information and pro-
noting export trade-have created de-
mand for radical reform of the entire
consular system and it's reorganization
upon wholly different lines.
The two propositions now under con /.
sideration are to retain practically the
present consular organization and to
strengthen the commercial efficiency of
the consulates by assigning to them
commercial attaches, a plan that has
been found to work well in the German
consulates in the United States to abol-
ish permanent consuls and appoint in
their stead experienced and capable
merchants, who will give to the consular
Office definite commercial character,
while its legal and purely official duties
are performed by young attaches
trained in the usual manner.
There is a general demand that the
consular service shall remain, as now,
q life career; the basis of its personnel
shall be corps of consular pupils, Sc
lected by competitive examination for
their intelligence, energy and efficiency
as students Of modern languages, COM
mercial law and technology, trained by
special studies for their career, and
then sent out to foreign parts to begin
their life work as apprentices.

WAR ON GRASSHOPPERS.
Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska Unite
in u Campaign Against n
New Invasion.

Colorado, Kansas and Nebraska have
agreed to unite on war against grass
hoppers. Professor Lawrence Brunner
state entomologist of Nebraska, pic
lures the condition as something scarce
ly within comprehension of city resi-
dents. He passed through Denver the
other day with Professor Wood of Kan
sas to attend the conference at Fort
Collins.
"The grasshoppers," he said, "are do
Ing more damage in parts of the three
states, Colorado, Nebraska and Kansas
than they have done since the scourge
few years ago.
"Cne man near McCook, Neb., caught
over 100 bushels of hoppers on forty
six acre alfalfa patch. I have figured
that if one grasshopper eats more than
his own weight every day, which is the
authorized allowance, the 100 bushels
would have eaten "a tons of alfalfa if
left to live"

TOO LIGHT AND SOFT.
Objections to Pennies Made of AL
minimum Metal
Experiments Tried by the Director
of the Mint Proves That Copper
Is the Only Proper
Metal.

Apropos of the resolution adopted by
10 urging the government to substitute
aluminium for copper in the making of
pennies, it was learned at the treas
ury that experiments with this in view
have been conducted by the director of
the mint. 1t was found, as a result of
these Investigations, that aluminium
coins are too light and soft. A compo-
sition of two per cent. copper, two of
zine, 1E of manganese. and 94R per
cent. of aluminium was experimental
with. but it was found that coins made
of this metal could not be substituted
for the copper pennies. The somposi-
tion coin weighed only 13 $40 grains,
while the copperpenny weighs As grains.
The composition pennies are too light
for safe handling.
Another objection to the aluminium
coin is that it can easily be counterfeit
ed. 1t is said at the treasury depart
ment that good imitation could be
made with a gun wad covered with sill
yer paper, which would be accepted un
til the edges were worn off.
The argument of the confectioners
that copper pennies carried disease ap-
plies to coins made of other metals, ex-
cept perhaps those with smooth sur
face. After conducting experiments
the conductor of the mint did not rec
ommend the adoption of the aluminium
coin. and the matter was dropped. tits
doubtful if congress will act upon the
resolution of the confectioners in view
of the experiments already conducted.

FINDS RICH BED OF COPPER.
Discovery Made by Rufus H. Heron.
Californian, Who Was
Hunting for Oil.

Rufus II. Heron, well-known Los
Angeles oil man, who is now in San
Francisco, is the discoverer of bed of
copper ore of great richness in Shasta
county, California.
While looking up some valuable oil
in the, northern end of the state he
stumbled across this copper deposit
He at once bonded 400 acres, which lie
about Is miles from the famous Iron
Mountain copper mine. An examine
ton OF the land revealed three enor-
nous zones of copper ore, running 81
per cent of pure copper.
Senator Clark, of Montana, has Sc
cured big interest in the new mine,
and development is to be begun at once.
The deposit appears to be almost mex
haustibls, and experts say the ore will
run $50 to the ton.

RoAMED ABROAD IN HIS SLEEP
Newark Child Is Found Wandering
Through a storm in the Early
Morning Hours.

Through the heavy rainstorm the
other morning at Newark, N. j., little
child, clad only in nightgown, was
found walking the pavements near
Washington and Camfield streets. The
hour was early-scarce three o'clock
and few people were abroad. A watch
man accosted the white-robed figure
with the inquiry: "What are you do
ing out in the rain at this time of
night" There was no answer. The
child did not even raise his head; as
well, seemingly, have tried to rouse
mummy. The man raised the small
wanderer in his arms. The child lay
motionless. his eyes were closed, his
bosom rose and fell rhythmically. The
man shook the child, but not rudelv.
The child opened his eyes, scared,
dazed, looked up at the man, shivered
as he felt the rain, and burst out cry
ing.
The man hurried with him to the
First precinct police station, not far
away.
Here's the youngest sleep-walker on
record" he laughed. And he told Sergt.
Oscar Vogel how he had found the small
somnambulist who, indeed, is but two
years old.
1t was five hours later when frantic
woman rushed into the station house;
Mrs. Buehler, of No. 1s Camfield street.
my son! my Fred!" she exclaimed.
Hes lost, he's stolen. put him to bed
last night; he's gone!"
In moment she was hugging
"Fweddy."
HE never did such thing BEFORE"
said the mother, and she added: 'It
was very sultry last night. All the win
dows were open and-my gracious, do
believe forgot to lock the front door"

INFANT AT THIRTY.
Mary Henry, Of Philadelphia, Will
Always Remain a Baby.
Her Mental and Physical Develop
ment Arrested i'm Her Second
Year-DoctOrs Call II
Cretinism.

Living with her parents at Thirty
seventh and Aspen streets in Philadel-
phia is Mary Henry, woman of 30
years, yet still an infant in mental and
physical development. She is bright
and sweet tempered, but cannot talk,
neither can she walk, but she sits upon
q little high chair and smiles at her
brothers and sisters, who, while
younger than she, yet look upon her as
the baby of the family. They play with
her and see that her toys-the same
toys of babyhood-are near at hand to
amuse her while they are away. And
she is not hard to amuse, for she sits
and watches her mother, busy at her
housework, and smiles in return when
the mother stops moment to COO at
her.
The doctors call the arrested devel-
opment with which Mary is afflicted
cretinism. When Mary was one year old
she was just the same as her brothers
and sisters, who are now sturdy grown
ups, were at that period of their exist
ence. She had added another year be-
lolS hCi Pui Clito hotlCCu u
halting in her growth, mentally and
physically. Doctors were called IN and
consulted, but none had knowledge
which would start again the growth of
brain and fiber in the little one. For
years 1t was the same in the Henry fam
lily. Noted physicians saw the child and
cudgeled their brains, but that was all.
Father and mother finally tired of this
and for some time only the family ply
sician has visited the little woman.
DR.. Prendergast, the family physi-
clan, says cretinism follows the malde-
velopment or the total absence of the
thyroid gland. Years ago there was
thought to be no cure for this, but now
DR.. Prendergast says injections of an
imal thyroid have been found Of value
in stimulating the growth of the same
gland in human beings. But this must
be done before the patient is five years
Of age, SO the discovery is of little good
to the little Henry girl. Another fea-
ture of interest to the medical world
tn this case is Mary Henry's age. There
are no records to show that any child
similarly afflicted survived beyond it's
twentieth year.
