cause she is an American woman. The
best opinion is that she had no bust

more sense and are not drumming up
women for missionaries to uncivilized
countries. 1t is strange what pas
sion some people have for long-dis-
lance charity. The statistics show
$4,000 arrests in Boston the last fiscal
year, and yet Boston sends mission

teachers for the negroes in the south.
Georgia has only $50 white convicts
in her penitentiary, while Massachu-
sets, with only little larger popula-
tion, has 1000, and New York state,
with but three times the population
of Georgia, has 5000 conyicts besides
numerous reformatories with several
thousand inmates. The truth is that
every state and every large city has
enough of the lawless, the ignorant
and the destitute to care for and it is
mistaken charity to overlook them
and hunt for misery afar off. But we
are getting along fairly well in this
blessed land and have much to be |
thankful for that our northern breth- |
rem have not. May the good Lord bless |

The south does not expect him to |
Tylerize his party on the protective |
tariff or any other republican prin-
ciple, but it does expect him to appoint
the best men to Office regardless Of
their politics. And if his party kicks
and threatens as the wings did John
Tyler, let him say as Tyler did to Clay
and others: Gentlemen, you cannot
scare me. My back is against the wall
and will veto those bills" Tyler was
a noble man and conscientious
statesman, but he was too pure man
to please either party, and, of course,
was not nominated for the next pres
idency. That may be Roosevelt's fate.

Paradise for sportsmen.

To him who knows not where to go, there
can be no better place suggested than the
Pocono mountains, lying in, the northeast
ern part of Pennsylvania, along the beautl-
full Delaware river. Whether you go for
health, or sport, you can hardly experience
the latter without acquiring the former.
The elevation of the mountains varies from
1000 to 1900 feet, and are one dense growth
Of pine and fir trees. Deer, bear and other
large game are plentiful, and though the
region is visited by thousands of sportsmen
every year, there seems to be no noticeable
decrease in the attractions offered: The
Pocono mountain hotels, camps and game
preserves are readily accessible by. the
Lackawanna Railroad, the great trunk line
between New York and the Great Lakes.

the majority were less fortunate.

Springs Hotel, it is now believed that
everyone escaped with his life. Mr. Sim
clair, the proprietor, has been busy all

fact that all the records and papers, in
Guiding the hotel register, were lost.

THE JUBILEE CONVENTION.
Christianity and Evolution Clash in One Of the

by the Associated BTcSS.J
Boston, June 14-Today's sessions of
the International Young Mems Christian
Convention were not held under any spe-
ciaI designation, but were grouped in sec
tions, in order that departmental work
might be discussed by leaders. Natur-
ally. interest was very we'll divided and
delegates were more generally scattered
about in the churches than at any time
during the week. Among the section
meetings. the most striking incident oc-
Cured at that, held in the First Baptist
church Here Christianity and evolution
came into clash through a paper read by
DR.. Winfield S. Hail. of Chicago, on mod
crn tendencies in the development of the
race. He discussed racial development
on the lines of the Darwinian theory.
There was ripple in the audience, and
one elderly gentleman arose and asked
DR.. Hall as to the period when the soul
less man became a man with a~soul, DR..
Hall, apparently was vague in solution
in the opinion of some, when he said
that he thought he could allow the man
with soul to rise higher and higher,
both physically and mentally for Rev.
DR.. Plumb, who presided, arose to ask
a question which was: Then, according
to that logic the clock in the Strasburg
Cathedral was once a Waterbury watch;
it grew larger as a watch until it be-
came a small clock, and then it became a
great Cathedral clock"
Dr. Hall thought Rev. Mr.. Plumb S
question answered itself. and the Incl
dent was ended.
The chief interest in the general meet
ing in the morning was the attack on the
business methods of the Y. NJ. c. A., by
Rev DR.. Garfield, of New York.
During the evening a message came
from Edward VII which was followed by
singing God Save the King, the en-
tire audience standing.
