WILL REMAIN WOODMAN
DESPITE CHURCH OBJECTIONS

Some time ago n communication
was received at the Woodmen head
Office from +. c. Cleaveland, of
Wheaton, ILL.,, associate editor of the
HAMS Horn, who is an ardent be-
lever in the principles of Woodcraft.
Mr.. Cleaveland stated that he had
received an invitation to join the
Congregational church at Wheaton,
but that some of the members had
objected to his being admitted on the
ground that the burial rites of the
Woodman to which he belongs held
out false hopes to those who were
not christians of consideration in the
hereafter. The writer asked for in
formation concerning the principles
of the order.
The reply of the head clerk was to
the effect that many ministers,
thousands of them in fact, are mem
bers OF the order and no such objec-
ton hau ever been urged before. Mr..
Cleaveland was referred to local
ministers who are Woodmen and was
sent some literature on the subject
of Woodcraft. He was apparently
satisfied and his acknowledgment of
the letter is to the effect that he in
tends remaining a Woodman.

Nh Limit To New Ideas.

There never has been a time when
the individual has stood for so much
as he does at present. There has
never been a time when individuality
and personal initiative brought such
amazing rewards. There never has
been n time when the individual could
or did exert so much influence as at
present. There is no individual today
so insignificant that, II he became the
medium of a new or potent ideal, he
would be prevented by uncomfortable
conditions from expressing his idea
and reaping his just reward.
In all ages up to this man has been,
owing to his limitations of physical
force, a plaything of conditions, slave
of his environment. Skill and intelli-
gence were but two OF the factors in
his progress. bounded and restrained
by limitations to their employment.
Now, however, with universal energy
at the disposal of each individual, this
terrestrial sphere scarce puts bounds
to his field of influence.-Cassier's
Magazine.

AN OLD FOLKS SERVICE
AT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH

Many of the old people of the city
gathered at the First Baptist church
yesterday morning to attend n serv-
ice announced for their special bene-
fit by Rev. g. Il. Simons, the pastor.
The pulpit was neatly decorated in
autumn leaves for the occasion and
there was special choir selected by
Mrs. j. s Woodin from among those
who sang in the church in years gone
by, The choir was composed of
Mesdames A. II. Pollard, j. S. Wood
in, Z. w. Morey, 4. j. Bullock, Phil
Wagner, w. F. johnson and ID. Dean,
and Messrs. a. j. Bullock, William
don, George Kingsbury. Frank Free
man, John Bollman and j. II. Saund-
ers. Among the hymns rendered
were Jesus. Lover of My Soul
Nearer My God, to Thee" Jesus.
Savior, Pilot Me-" There is a Land
of Fair Delight" and "My Times are
in Thy Hands" Rev. Simons took
for his text Isaiah LXIV: 6: 1--WE all
DO fade as a leaf" from which he
drew an eloquent sermon, comparing
human life with the leaves of the
tree, and giving pictures that were
both inspiring, beautiful and COM
forting.

future of the game in their hands.

for the position he was elected TO

President Sexton of the Three /

terest than any man who spoke in
the meeting. This western man had
every phase of the situation we'll fig

going back to the original idea of
putting on a heavy fine instead of
black-listing a player, the league get

BOOM FOR BASEBALL
President Sexton Says New York
Meeting Was Greatest in His
tory of the Game.
s., 200 LIMIT ON THREE-I LEAGUE
Four Towns Asking Franchises, Jay
Andrews Bidding I'm Behalf
OF Peoria.

NJ. II. Sexton, president of the
Three Baseball league, accompanied
by his brother, j. p. Sexton, arrived
home yesterday afternoon from the
east, where after attending the
meeting of the National Association
of Professional Baseball leagues,
they visited with relatives in New
Jersey and saw the Buffalo exposi-
ton.
The baseball convention, pronounc-
ed by President Sexton the greatest
in the history of the game, was held
in New York, and was followed with
the greatest interest not only by
those present as delegates, but the
magnates of the major leagues.
As has been heretofore stated in
these columns, the Three / league
was placed in Class c, which provides
for n $1,000 maximum salary limit.
OF course this can be reduced at the
discretion of the directors of the
league, the only requirement of the
National association agreement be-
ing that it shall not be exceeded by
this league.
Big Piece of Money Turned Down.
Each league is to choose the ball
it is to use. This was decided by an
almost unanimous vote in the face of
a proposition from the head of
large sporting goods house to donate
$4,000 TO the National association on
condition that his firm be given n
contract to furnish balls for all the
leagues in the new organization for
a term of 10 years. While this was
tempting offer. still it was consider
ed unwise to tie the hands of the diff
ferent leagues in such a matter.
President Sexton il was who had re-
considered the action taken at the
Chicago meeting blacklisting any
player that jumped n contract.
line was substituted.
On his arrival home Mr.. Sexton
found applications for franchises in
the Three / league from Peoria, FL
gin, Joliet and Dubuque. Jay An
drews, the old local favOrite, asks for
the franchise in Peoria. All these
applications will be referred TO the
meeting of league directors to be
held in Chicago the 21st of the pres
ent month.

One of the best high school games
of football that was ever played in
the three cities was that in Daven-

Davenport and Moline. The result
was tie, each side scoring six points

at line work but all their hard earned
gains were lost from time to time by
which the latter excelled. A big

men met at their lodge rooms i'm the
Smith Building, No. 610h Market street
iand marched TO the places of worship in
n body. There We're nearly 200 of the
machinists when they left the Smith
Building. About so of them stopped at
Union Church and the others went to
Olivet Presbyterian Church.
| The Rev. Robert A. Ellwood, the new
pastor Of Olivet Church announced early
last week that he would preach special
sermon on labor. The fact that the ma

to Olivet Church. The church was
crowded. there not being n vacant seat in
the main auditorium. The Rev. Mr.. Ell
wood preached an eloquent and interest
ing sermon which was greatly appreci-
ated by the machnists.
Mr.. Ellwood's subject was "The True
Solution of the Labor Problem.' He
took his text from the second chapter
fourth verse Of Ruth: "And behold. Boaz
came from Bethlehem and said unto the
reapers, the Lord be with you. And
| they answered him. The Lord bless
| thee"
| Mr.. Ellwood began by telling the love
story Of Ruth and then pointed out the

faith in God. Without faith there is

Three districts of the ward were car

extent that he was defeated.
That he was defeated by treachery on
