WORK OF THE w. r. c.

We acknowledge the receipt of the
annual report of the trustees of the
Ohio Soldiers and Sailors Home, from
the Matron, Mrs. Mary Fuller, and we
clip therefrom the following notices
concerning the work of the w. r. C.
The chaplain says: "We are under
obligations to the Woman's Relief
Corps of our State for S25, to assist in
procuring religious matter for the
Home" and in the report of the sur
geon, we find:
'This hospital has always had one
good, substantial friend, and that is the
Woman's Relief Corps. If it were pos
sible to give total of the value of dol
lars and cents of all the nice things
that this order has so kindly given to
the sick of this hospital, it would be an
enormous sum. There have been fruits,
gowns, cushions, pin cushions, specta-
cles, and invalid chairs. Since the
opening of the Home, the hospital has
received 13 of these splendid chairs,
and as the average cost is about $50
you can readily see that this expendi-
ture is quite an item. The spectacles
that have given out have added great
ly to the comfort of the non-pension
members, in fact, nothing else has
ever been given that lin comparison
with the cost of the article), has af-
forded as much comfort as the specta-
cles have. For all of the hospital sick
thank the Woman's Relief Corps for
their many comforting contributions. ="

GAS ENGINES FOR SHIPS.
Experiments Being Conducted by a
Big Manufacturing Corporation.

WASHINGTON April 12.-The Navy
Department has been called upon to
supply technical information for inter-
esting and an important set of expert
ments now being conducted by one of
the largest manufacturing corporations
in the country. The purpose is to demon
strate the feasibility and advantage of
propelling ship through power deriv-
ed from gas engines supplied by gas
generated on the vessel itself. Thus
the coal, instead of being consumed un-
der the boilers to make steam, would be
roasted in retorts aboard the ship to
drive out the gas which would supply
the engines. The coke thus produced,
it is estimated, would furnish all the
fuel needed to roast the coal. The pur-
pose of the experiment is to ascertain
whether the weight of the gas produc-
ing plant and gas consuming engines
would be much less than the ordinary
plant of steam boilers and engines, and
the saving ofspace sufficient to warrant
the adoption Of the new system.

do not know him. As | see him he
stands beckoning with pierced palms
in the direction of suffering and dis
ease and ignorance and vice and pa
ganism, saying, Here is where the
work of Calvary church lies 1 do not
believe the work of this church con-
sists in having so many meetings and
socials and pleasant gatherings and de-
| lightful occasions among it's own men,
bers, but the real work of this church
consists in getting out of it's own lit
| tie circle in which it has been so
| many years moving and going in any
way most effective to the worlds
wounded to bind up the hurt and be a
| savior to the lost. If we do not un-
| derstand this to be the true meaning of
church work, then l believe we miss
| its whole meaning. Church work in
Milton today does not consist in doing
simply what your fathers did before
you. 1t means helping to make clean
er town, the publication of our munich
pal life. the actual planning and ac-
complishment Of means to relieve
| physical distress, a thorough under
| standing of the problem Of labor and
capital-in brief, church work today
in this town is whatever is most need
ed to be done to prove to this town
that we are what we profess our
selves to, be, disciples of Jesus Christ
That is the reason l give more time to
the tenement district problem than to
| calling on families that are well and
In possession of great comforts and
privileges. That is the reason / call
on this church to do Christ's work in
his name and give itself to save that
part of our town."
This is but the briefest Of the
sketches of Philips sermon. 1t was a
part of himself, his experience, his
heart belief. He poured it out on the
vast audience with little saving of his
vitality. And that Sunday he went
home at night exhausted, with feel
ing of WEAKNESS partly due to his
work during the week among the peo-
pie. The calls upon his time and
strength had been incessant, and he
did not know where or when to stop.

COMMENT
Caused by the Recent City
Financial Statement---
TaylOr'S Kick.

There has been more or less COM
of the city finances. William Taylor
is fossilized kicker, but he generally
strikes the right end of proposition,
and in speaking of the statement this
morning he said: II would like for
the council to explain the report,
which is claimed by that body to be
what is required in section II, article
3, Of chapter IA, OF the statutes
Of Oklahoma. The statement shows
that there is cash on hand in all the
funds as follows: Salary fund, $494 90;
contingent fund ,$327!82; fire and water
fund, $470 90; street and bridge fund
$3.50 Go; street lighting fund, $359.7O;
water works improvement fund S30.5s;
sinking fund, $552; general fund,
S24s.5s; probable city debt, $769.4s
main tap fund, SIS SO; judgment fund,
81 ,676 80; park fund, Sl4S.79; making a
total amount of SIS, 375. 81 cash on hand.
1t also shows the total amount of in
debtedness outstanding against the
city TO be only SIS, ,037.23. Now, after
liquid dating all the outstanding indebt-
edness il would leave $33s "a still on
hand in the treasury. But if the rec
ords are examined you will fud
81 ,444.l4 belonging to the judgment
FUND This will increase the balance
on hand, after all debts shown by the
statement are paid, to 81, ,7s2. SO. Then
there is 81 600 belonging to the city
which was drawn from the county
treasurer the llth day Of last August,
aud which has not been paid into the
city treasury yet This will raise the
balance in the treasury to 81 7s2 Ss.
Now, will the council explain from
whence it derives its authority 10 levy
4 mills for sinking fund? l do not
suppose its mem bers are such fools as
to think the people will vote bonds for
sewerage, and that they will need the
money to pay interest on them. There
are no other bonds that would require
sinking fund, for they have said so
in their quarterly statement. Then,
again, what right have they to levy
mills for judgment fund? The law
does not allow them to levy tax for
judgments until they are obtained, =,
and there are no judgments against
the city The council has said so in
is quarterly atement.
Then, again. why do they levy 6
mil to pay old provisional debts,
when the statutes especially forbid
them from paying any provisional in
debtness unless they are authorized by
a majority of the legal vo;ers of the
city2
Now, if the council will tell how it
settled those $40 500 judgment bonds
that were outstanding last April and
answer the foregoing question salts
factorily, we will then be ready for
general action.
And with that Dad Taylor smacked
his chops. There are whole lot OF
people who don't like Taylor, but the
right of free speech cannot be denied
in America.

(YPSIES
Pass Through The City En-.
route to ArdmOre to
Queens Festival.

Two bands Of gypsies passed through
the city this morning. They were en-
route to Ardmore, where there will
be meeting of the Rommany folk in
August.
This meeting of the Zingari will be
the largest in recent years unless they
receive orders from their Queen to
postpone the atheriug, which is not
frequently the case. There wera three
we'll arranged covered travelling wag
ons and twelve sou's in the bnad that
passed through. They are n inter
esting study.
The Gypsies are now considered to
have come from India, the main body
of their language, though mixed with
great number of borrowed words
having a close affinity with some Of
the Indian languages. They have no
peculior religion. The children grow
up in idleness and the habits of steal
ing and cheating The marriage cere-
mong is of the simplest kind. If the
husband becomes tired of his wife be
turns her off without cere Hony. There
is no idea OF education amongst them.
They appeared first In Eng and in the
10th century and the first record of
their appearance in his country was
at Boston il 1879. The present queen
lives near Dayton, Ohio, and is quite
wealthy.

New Minister.
A reception in honor Of Rev. j. II.
ogle and family was rendered by the
members OF the Christian church and
friends irrespective of religious rela-
tions. The affair was held at the
Christian church and was a most en-
joyable event.
A program cor sisting of music. ad-
dresses and recitations was prepared
for the occasion. Rev. Humphrey
offered welcoming talk and was
followed by Rev. Ogle who responded
with short tank Of appreciation for
the many kind favors of the evening
and OF the few days that he has been
here.
Rev. Miles, of the Presby terian
church, on behalf of the Ministerial
Union, offered words OF welcome to
their midst. Rev. Matthews, Of the
M. E. Church, south. offered PRAYER.
The musical nun bers Of the program
were good. Miss Miller sang a sweet
solo, " hich was highly appreciated by
sl. The recitation of Miss WoolhauI
pleased everyone Refreshments were
served by the ladies of the church,
consisting of ice cream and cake.

FARCE
Is the Cape Nome Proposition
Former Guthrie Boy
Tells Of Gold Fever.

Charles Carmody formerly worked
in Tearnev Bros. place. He is now in
Alaska. Carmody has written letter
to Guthrie friend, describing the
gold excitement at Cape Nome. After
describing his trip he says: "As to
gold being here, it is a cinch, " but
everything is taken for 100 miles back
in the country-you can find it any
place but not in paying quantities.
The two best creeks are Anvil and
Dexter. from which over $4,000, 600
have been taken. The beach claims
are no good except in some spots,
which are very small. Labor is
very hign. Carpenters get S1.50 per
hour, other labor 81. But there are
twenty-five men for each job. Good
win and l are making $40 day watch
ing freight on the shore. The worst
of it is it will only last few days
longer. Men with a good team make
$3.50 a day freighting. The people
who make the money are the saloons,
gambling houses, dance halls and
restaurants.
Twenty sleep in a lodging house,
it costs SO for eight hours; they keep
tab and wake you up at the expila-
tion of that time.
In summing up this place in a
brief manner and using the prevailing
opinion, it is farce 1t is place
doomed by Seattle newspapers and
transportation companies for the idea
of making money aud they did their
work we'll. Those contemplating
coming here, take my advice
ands stay away as it is tough
proposition
"Out of the 10000 people who are
here, 19, 900 would be glad enough to
get back to the states.
Hundreds are leaving and going
back to the states disgusted. Good
win and I are going to stay, as it may
get better. for at present things are
very unsettled
