RALLY DAY OBSERVANCE
MANY SUNDAY SCHOOLS HAVE
 SPECIAL SERVICES.
Davenport, Trinity M. E., First M. E., West Haven and Othcrs--Day Devoted to Encouragement of Temperance and Good Citizenship.

All the preparations for the annual
 'Rally Day" at the Trinity M. E. Sun
 day school were successfully carried
 out Sunday afternoon. The pro- selections, concert exercises by the members of different departments and was Missionary Talk" delivered by Edward S. Swift, the eX-superinten- dent. pr. Gilberts address was in the interests of temperance. Pleasantly and forcibly he pointed out the dis couraging effects of liquor indulgence upon the home and state. He thought it was especially significant that a brewery and a cemetery should be such near neighbors on Oak street. The musical funeral processione that so frequently arouse the vicinity on Sundays he thought could be reduced to minimum if not only one, but all, the breweries should be no more for ever
 Promptly at 2:30 the entire school, distributed in classes, marched into the auditorium to a thrilling march song played with vigor by the organ ist. The infant department, arranged in a crescent, had usurped the area be- hind the pulpit rail and presented an attractive appearance in their dotted Swiss pinafores, red sashes and con spicuous badges. The auditorium was well filled with the pupils and their friends, The function was suggestive of the Sunday before the Christmas festival. The congregational singing was engaged in with more than the usual Methodist enthusiasm and eagerness. One of the musical fea- lures was the rendition of a soprano solo by Miss Frances Heath, the words of which were written by the pastor. The song was entitled "The Dear Old Book" and was set to the music "Old Kentucky Home"
 The roll calls were afterward re- sponded to and the responses were en- couraging.

ADDRESS TO RAILWAY MEN
RET. B. M. TIPPLE, PASTOR OF EP-
 WORTH CHURCH,
speaks at tho First Sunday Meeting of the Season of the Railroad YOunu Mems Christian Associntion.

Rev. B. M ripple, pastor of the Ep- worth M. E. church, made the opening address at the railway branch of the Y. M. c. A. yesterday at 3:30 D. m. The subject of his address was the power of man. strong man being likened to the shadow of a rock in weary land"
 The mightiest force in all society was the power of man, according to MT. ripple, and appropriate illustrations were used to develop the truth of this assertion. But, although man is so powerful" he continued, "he is only potent by the grace of God. He is like an eagle, relying on his own strength, struggling against storm, only to be baff1ed. Success is but the working of the spiritual Jaw in the natural world. The truly successful man allows no carelessness-he is always aggressive, and above all, stands up for his princi- pies. He thoroughly believes in re- ligion, and in the church and in the Y. M. c. A. as being somewhat above the other institutions of the world.'
 The address was spirited, and deliv- cred in cordial manner, and was de- servedly we'll received.
 The meeting opened with an i'm promptu song service, including a cor net solo of unusual expression and ten- derness by William Fenno, jr., the son of the local secretary. c. H. Platt, general superintendent of the western district, presided, assisted by MT. FennO

THAT BOSTON AND ALBANY RAIL
 ROAD DEAL


 The New England Statist of Satur- day says: One of the most conservative brokers in the city and one thoroughly posted on railroad matters said yester- day: T feel very sure that the New York Central has made it's best and only offer for the Boston and Albany rail- road If the Albany stockholders do not accept the terms they will geg no better ones. Then when they find out that they can do no better whether or not they will come down to the present offer is a question, but I do not see how they can do that after all they have said against it. Pride would probably prevent their acceptance and then the deal will fall flat. You can be sure the New York, New Haven and Hartford will make no offer for it. The Wander bilts are so connected with the Rocke- feller and Morgan interests in the Penn- sylvania that there will be no conflict of interests. As it is now 60 per cent. of all the Albany's through freight comes from the New York Central Will the Central continue to give it's business to the Albany after refusal of this of fer? It is a mistake to say that the Fitchburg cannot take on any more bus mess, for in the hands of the Vander- blts it's facilities could be quickly in- creased. Then look at the situation The Vanderbilt Morgan Rockefeller in terests will run the lines all around the Boston and Albany, and the latter, get ting no business from them will he con- fined to local traffic How long before the road will be two streaks of rust and a right of way?"

 The 'Yale Sale" is one sale; the other sale is known as the "Dressmakers' Semi-annual Sale" which will open at 9 o'clock this morning. Thousands up- on thousands of the various articles constantly in use by dressmakers are offered at prices which will surprise even the dressmakers who are ever ac- customed to buying goods at big dis counts. Space forbids the mention of the innumerable bargains at this sale Dressmakers vii! do well to make an early visit to the Big Store with a well filled purse ready to put in a sup ply of articles for several months to come. The trusts are closing in on these necessities, and they will surely be higher in the future-so, word to the wise, etc.

HANGING TO GOOD.
If the Father Had Found Shor'
the Coroner Would Have
Been Needed.

News of very distressing
affair in Gulledge township
reaches us. It seems that last
Sunday night Alec Short, a
young man about Fl years OF age,
made an appointment with Miss
Rassie, the 1o-year-old daughter
of Mr.. c. NJ. Gaddy, to run away
and marry him. The young lady
met Short at the place agreed
upon and he explained to her
so she says, that his horse, and
buggy and a minister, who was
to marry them. were waiting for
them on down the road apiece.
When they reached the place
there was neither horse, buggy
nor minister, but Short, on one
pretext or another, persuaded
or possibly compelled-the girl
to go on with him until they
finally, about 4 o'clock in the
morning, arrived at McFarlan.
Here Short took her to the house
of an acquaintance and introduc
ed her as his wife. Early Mons
day morning Short deserted the
girl at McFarlan, going no one
knows where.
Mr.. Gaddy, when he first dis
covered the absence ofhis daught
er, was told that she had run
away to marry Short, and his
indignation and anger can be
imagined when he learned the
true state of the case. Tuesday
so enraged was he, that he sought
Short all day, with double bar
rel shot gun, and had he found
him there would probably have
been a job for the coroner

tellingencer.

BAKER GOES TO HIS HOME.
Had a Chisel Removed From
His Head at St. Joseph's
Hospital.

Mr.. Charles c. Baker, the
patient at St. Joseph's Hospital
who was successfully operated
upon on October 18TH by the re-
moval of a steel chisel from his
head, left the hospital Yesterday
afternoon, and a few hours later
took a train for his home In
Wavnesboro, Pa. The only ev
idence remaining of the incision
made through which the chlsel
was extracted is a scarcely v1sl-
BILE scar-like line about two and
one-half inches in length below
the right eye, and running
obIiqueIy from the bridge OF the
nose. Before taking his depar-
ture Mr.. Baker said:
"Whenever ! think of my re"
markable experience, it seems
that l am living beyond my
time. When l reached here my
pain had grown extremely in
tense; but when l learned that a
long steel was i'm bedded in my
face, l lost hope, and from then
on until prepared for the ordeal
Of the operation, l could think
Of nothing but the worst. But
my recovery has inspired me
with new hope, and, unless
something unforeseen should ar
Use, l shall in few days be back
at my old bench. l am not in
the least frightened off, as l
know the affair was purely acct
dental, which might occur with
any machine of the kind. 1t is
impossible for me to express my
gratitude to all who rendered
me this valuable service, but l
think that is naturally under>
Stood"
During his last few days at the
hospital a large number Of call
ers were received, among whom
were Cardinal Gibbons and
Archbishop John J. Keane.
Baker was particularly anxious
to get back to his home, where
wife and two young children
await him. Baltimore Ameri-
can, 18th.
