For Help.

CHICAGO, March 26-The week
commencing today and ending or
A priI ! will ce observed as a week of
abstinence and prayer by Methodists
throughout the country. In devoting
the week to prayer for the welfare and
success of the church the faithful of the
creed are acting in pursuance of the
recent stirring appeal issued by the
board of bishops of the church and the
purpose of which is to stir the mem ber-
ship to greater activity in order that
the alleged waning strength of the
church may be restored. The appeal,
which was authorized by the semi
annual meeting of the bishops in
Philadelphia last November, ssys
IN part:
"Today our Methodism ccnfronts a
serious situation. Our statistics for
the last year show decrease in the
mum Der OF our mem oers. The lost
ground is paved with the dead. We
are surrounded by powerful enemies.
The attack is on every side. II Is high
time for Methodists to take himself or
herself to prayer and to call nightly
OF God for help"

SALVATION ARMY SCENE
The Barracks Packed For
Hours By Appreciative Ell
Pasoans And Some Camp
On The Streets.

Last night the Salvation Army bar
racks was packed. Interest was so
very great that crowds stood in the
isles and in the doorway extending to
the side walk, and in front of the build
ing were cemped q large mum ber who
could not get even q peep of what was
going on inside.
Inside all was bright, from the

The army for some time has talked and
sung of "the colors," but not uutil last
night wac the emblem rne ming so much
to them given to the breeze.
After the usual opening service two
young color bearers moved to the front,
one bearing ''old Glory" and the other
the banner of "Blood and Fire" Mrs.
Pitt gave a brief explanation. clearly
setting forth the meaning g of the blue, red
and yellow in its application to Saliva
tion Army work. Old Glory needed no
explsnasion, but to the majority the
Sslvationists standard was new, TO-
gether with the fact Of its waving
among A different nations and peoples
of the earth.
The young men who accepted the
flags for all the world looked as il they
could and would defend them and the
hearty volleys given by the corps de-
monstrated that the boys would not be
alone in upholding them, as ads
and lassies We'd with one another in ex-
pressive devotion to the standards.
Several of the soldiers had served long
under the lag and they felt enoouraR-
ed to extend their enlistments for life.
After song land prayer the symbols
were dedicated to the active work OF
the corps and given place of honor to
the right and left of the platform. The
patriotic ode, my Country 'Tis OF
Thee" was then sung and the dedica-
tiOu proper was over.
Private Davidson then displayed
tattered flag of fourteen years service,
which he had followed in California,
and as result of that loyalty had, to-
gether with the flag and bass drum,
l Anded on some three different occa-
sions in Jail. Mr.. Davidson treats the

That the eSalvstiOn Army has bee a and
is doing good work all right minded
citizens admit and 1t was in recogni-
tion of their merit that Captain Pitt
and the local corps were presented with
their colors. The movement was on
the part of citizens and the captain
knew nothing of the intention of out
siders until the flags were ordered.
The captain, his estimsble wife, and
every officer and cadet feel encourag-
ed in their recognition aud Ell Paso
can command them in any humane
work.

tail caused some amusement the other
day in which he was unconsciously as
sisted by a pretty American girl who was

up the fares and the young woman, who
was busy putting on her gloves, took a
dime from her mouth and handed it to
him without taking her attention from
her gloves. A the same moment the
Chinaman reached into his ear and alb
stracted nickel from that repository.
He gave the nickel to the girl in change
for her dime, and she absently put it in
her mouth for safe keeping. The China
man saw the action and clutched the con-

RAILROAD CATECHISM.
A "Catechist'' Asks Some Questions
About the Proposed Subscription
to the stock OF the Uniontor n
and Wnynesburg Road

About the Proposed Subscription
to the stock of the Uniontown
and yynynesburg Road.
To the Editor Of the Register.
Sir:-It is easy for a man to answer
his own questions, when he is trying
to ask questions he can answer. For
illustration, see the Intelligencer's rail-
road catechism of Saturday. Perhaps
it would clear things up better if some
one else did the asking, and the fol-
lowing questions are commended to
the Intelligencer, which will no doubt
republish them with the answers which
may be furnished by its alleged "Wheel-
ing Citizen
Why is the proposed subscription to
the stock of the new railroad instead
OF to its first mortgage bonds?
What is there to hinder the railroad
company from making mortgage after
it gets Ohio county's subscription, and
would not sale under such a mort
gage wipe out Ohio county's stock?
Would not such q sale also wipe out
the agreement that freight is to be no
greater than between ConnellsviIle and
Pittsburg?
Even If the road was not sold out
under mortgage, how would that
agreement about freight be enforced If
the railroad company did not choose to
live up to it?
What does the company's map show
about the way the new railroad is to
reach the industries of Wheeling? How
is it going to get down to the level Of
the mills from the high elevation 1t
has on Chapline's hill?
Can 1t be possible that after Ohio
county has voted 100000 to get the
new railroad into Wheeling the rail-
road company will use the Terminal for
that purpose and pocket the 100000?
Under the terms of the subscription
100000 is payable when 100000 is
expended on the railroad in Ohio and
Marshall counties May not this large
amount become payable if bridge
from Benwoed to Bellaire is built in
Marshall county as a part of the rail-
road, though not a foot of it may bc
built in Ohio county?
Ii the Pittsburg, Connellsville &
Wheeling. which goes to Moundsville,
is going on TO let its contracts and build
it's road without any county subscrip-
ton, why cannot the Uniontown,
Waynesburg & West Virginia build it's
line into Wheeling without 100000?
Why must this large amount be Dor
rowed when the county has P, w & X.
stock, which. it is said, would sell for
100000? Is it in order that the Board
of Commissioners shall have $4,000
year to spend which they will not have
to raise by taxation? Why should the
people be taxed to preserve such an
investment? CATECHIST.
Wheeling, July 7th.
