Appeal to Bapiists.

Hon. Jas. P. Eagle chairman of the 'tate mission board of the Arkansas Baptists, has issued the following ur- gent appeal to the Baptists of the state:
 My Dear Brethren-You are aware of the fact that we have recently sus- talned serious blow in the loss by one of our general missionaries of his wife, and in the further fact that Dr. A. J. Barton, our corresponding secretary, who was leading our forces Ill the mission work. has been forced to lay down his work and give his i'm mediate attention to his wife. whose health is exceedingly precarious This leaves our forces partially without leadership, and at the instance of the executive committee of the state miS- sion board l address this letter, ask ing that you assist us all you can Tn seeking to repair the losses which we are thus sustaining, by carrying this matter and the demands of our cause. before your congregation at an early date and securing as large a contribu- ton thereto as possible, and remitting the same to Dr. J. H. Kitchens. Jr. our treasurer, at Jonesboro, Ark. We are behind with our missionaries. They need their money. Their work will be hindered If we cannot pay them what we owe them. The breth- ren who were leading in this work were doing so as our servants and IS the stewards and servants of the Lord we should industriously. prayerfully and with our whole hearts seek to see that his interests will not be neglect ed and that his cause shall not suffer loss. Will you not engage with your entire congregation in prayer for di- vine guidance of his people and that he through the Holy Spirit. will lead us in our struggles to honor his name and for the salvation of the lost May We not pray that he will keep Us from doing wrong and enable us to go TO the convention free of debt and with messages of great joy because of his l blessings upon our workers and of his manifest presence with his peo, ple2 We beg you in Christas name to aid LIS and aid us speedily But two months of our conventional year re main and within that time we will have to raise about s3,50O that we may go there free of debt During the same period last year we raised about $2.700. We will have to increase our contributions, as we have largely in. creased our working force. and the Lord has so largely increased the glorious results. which will be report ed at that meeting There has never been a year so fruitful as the present one promises to be. Hoping that you will cheer us by speedy and full response to our requests, am your brother in Christ,

|HE NATIONAL FINANCES.
Secretary of the Treasury Gage Talks About the Large Treas
 ury Surplus.
PROSPEROUS CONDITIONS GRATIFYING.
of Money In the Treas ury Has Been More than Over cosne h, the Purchase of BUnds ia the Open Market by the Govern ment.

Chicago, Oct. 1.-Secretary of the Treasury Gage, who is staying few days at the home of his son in Evan ston before going to Colorado to spend his vacation, said in regard to the present large surplus ill the treas ury:
 "The prosperous condition of the country must De most gratifying. The decrease in the expenditures of tho | government is salient factor in the increase in the surplus in the last three months. From June 30, 1901, to September 26, the revenue amounted to St36,0 100000. The expenditures dur ing this time were S12f 100000. This left an excess of nearly S15,000000. During the same period in 1900 the re- ceipts were $139, 100000, and the eN- penditures the same. Of course, the | fact must be taken into consideration that the revenue for the last three years was under the lowered schedule, so that the Sl36,OOO,000 receipts this year represents a larger amount of business transacted than during the same time last year, when the $t39,- 00000 was received.
 Tt was estimated when the present revised revenue law was put in force on July 1 that the revenue receipts | from all sources would fall off some $40, 100000 by reason of the reductions made. If that had been realized the receipts since that time would have been $7,500,000 less, or SIPS, 300, GOO. Notwithstanding the reduction in taxes, the reeipts have been dimin- ished by less than $3,000, ,000 from what they were a year ago, while the ex- penditures have decreased by over ST, ,000, 900 for the same period.
 Up to the present time, however, the accumulation of money in the treasury, which would be the natural effect at this time, has been more than overcome by the purchase of bonds in the open market by the gov ernment. During the last three months there have been bought bon3 3s having q face value of S19, ,50O.000, for which over s25,0OO, 900 was paid. The actual cash in the treasury has thus been reduced, and the present excess of revenues over expenditures taken care of for the time being

starting fresh fires in other boilers. My coal expenditure was variable. l could not depend upon it.
 Then. at this time you just had enough, according to these signals, to go to Key West ?''
 "I arrived in Key West With less than 100 tons of coal on board.
 Capt. Jewell was then excused and Capt McCalla was recalled for the purpose of correcting his testimony. While he was on the stand the court asked him two questions, which to- gether with the replies, were as fol- lows:
 By the court. Was there any place in the vincinity of CnTe Cruz where large vessels could have found pro tection from westerly or southwest erly winds?"
 Answer: There was no place where the large ships could take protection from westerly and southwesterlN winds. The prevailing winds were from the east, and a southwesterly wind is of short duration in that vi-
 
 to the north very quickly
 By the court: Had the fleet of Cervera been in the harbor of Cien- fuegos could it have been seen by the vessels blockading that port 2s
 ''I should say not. The upper part of the nasts might have been seen f they had been in the stretch of the river where it turns to the east, but l should not expect to have found them there. If they were behind the hill. they could not have been seen in my opinion"
 Capt McCalla then was excused finally, and the court adjourned for luncheon.
 During the examination of Admiral Evans at the afternoon session. the judge advocate asked the witness con- corning statement by lieutenant of the Spanish navy, printed by the navy department. to the effect that at dark the American ships withdrew to the southward, disappearing. The in- troduction of this book was objected to, and Admiral Dewey said:
 "The witness has already told what distance was maintained by the fleet We don't care for that kind of infor- nation. Admiral Evans was there and can make answer for himself
 We want facts; not newspaper ar ticles.'
 Admiral Evans testified that before leaving Key West on May 20, to join the flying squadron at Cienfuegos Capt. Chadwick had communicated tc him the secret code arranged by Capt McCalla. He had not, however, re ported this code to Admiral Schley upon his arrival, supposing that the admiral knew about the code

Serious Accident,

Mr.. j. W. Hutto, of Denmark, had q
narrow escape from death on the streets
,, of Bamberg last Friday afternoon, and
as it was he was ScriouSl y and at one time
it was thought fatally I'M jurcd. The acci
dent was peculiar one,and one that does
not often happen. Mr. Hutto was in his
buggy driving up Main street when Il
wagon drawn by two mules drove out
on the street from between the barber
shop and A. Rice's store. Both teams
were in trot, and at the sidewalk cross,
ing there is rather steep hrid &c. The
driver of the wagon attempted to stop
his team in order to avoid the collision
which seemed inevitable. and when he
icrked the mules back tina; forced the
wagon tongue up in the air. He was
unable to entirely check the team on
account of the decline of the brid re and
street and the wagon tongue struck MIR.
Hutto in the abdomen as he sat in his
buggy. The blow was severe one, and
it was thought at first that he had sus-
tanned internal injuries which might
prove fatal. He was carried into DR..
Blacks drug store and anodyncs admin
istercd to quiet him, rs he was sutferinS 9
intense agony and having commissions.
Shortly afterwards he was carried to the
office of Fl. s. Bowling, Esq, cot was
procured, and he was made as comfort
able as possible until about dark when
he had recovered sufficiently to bc car
ried home. He is getting along nicely
now, and it is thought that he will soon
be all right.
In the excitement following the acci-
dent the negro drove his team off. and
his name could not be learned nor to
whom the team belonged
