NEED MORE MONEY.
Not Sufficient Funds for Episcopal
 Missionary Uses.

Rochester, N. Y, December 1.-The Episcopal missionary conference came to an end tonight.
 The conference in the opinion of those who are closest in touch with it has brought .out distinctly the following things:
 1. The Episcopal church has a pre- eminent call to mission work in Latin American lands
 2. It sadly needs young men for ita mission work, both at home and abroad.
 8. It's present supply of funds for prose cutting its present mission work and for entering upon its larger opportunities is inadequate.
 {. The laity and even some of the church's bishops and clergy are respon- sible for the apathy which prevails to- ward mission work.
 5. The church at large needs a revival. fresh baptism of Holy Spirit and sys< tematic instruction in order that zeal for mission work may be aroused, stimulated and sustained
 G. The men of the church should be systematically organized for the purpose of coming to the aid of women and children in the missionary cause.
 The Rt. Rev. Peter Trimble Rowe, D. D., bishop of Alaska said to a represen- tative of the Associated Press:
 We sadly need money for school and for native helpers whom we train in the m issionary work. We have three hos pitals In Alaska, but we want to build more, especially one at Nome. Our na- tive schools should be planted every where. but we have not the money to plant them. Dr. Sheldon Jackson, the commissioner of schools for Alaska, is al Presbyterian, and he has helped thel schools of his own denomination wfthj government money.

WASHINGTON SEES UP-TO-DATE ALICE
 N A WONDERLAND
TO DELAY TARIFF
 BILL UNTIL 1908
HERR BEBEL AND ASSOCIATES WILL FIGHT GERMAN GOVERN MENT-sHoW AMERICAN WORK. MEN ARE THE BEST.

Berlin, December 1.-The tariff bill goes to the committee next week and nobody expects its re-appearance for months. Herr Bebel and Richter and other oppo- sition leaders have agreed to delay the measure as long as possible in commit tee. They are determined to make a fight on every one of the 946 items. It Is possible that the final vote will not be reached until 1903. unless the government offers to compromise. which is unlikely
 The government is considering chang ing the rules of the house so as to block the obstructive tactics of the opposition.
 There is a general impression that the government commands a large majority It is not the United States that the gov ernment would be concerned about should the tarin bill be put through in It's pres ent form. but Russia and Austria Hun gary. It is the belief of the foreign of flee that Germany Is well able to uphold her side should the United States make reprisals Russia and Austria Hungary have already informed Germany that they are not willing to negotiate commer- cial treaties on the basis of the pending tariff. These notifications are considered equivalent to the declaration of an economic war in which the broad markets now open to Germany will immediately be closed and the considerable volume of United States products now finding It's way to Russia through German trad CTS would, in consequence, be excluded with German goods.
 The manager of an American tool com pany's works in Berlin has made a re- markable comparison of the wages paid and cost of tools made here with the wages paid and cost of tools at the American works, both sets of laborers using identical machinery. He finds that the American workman, making an ex- act allowance for the difference in wages, turns out a clear 25 per cent. more pro- duct for the same unity of. wages A shoe factory at Breslau using American machinery secured better results by im- porting eight American working men and paying them by the piece to stimulate the German workmen who then came within 10 per cent of the Americans work.
 The American insurance companies which have com piled with the law coming Into force with the new year, trans- fefitng IT control of iraurance from the Stats governments to the imperial gov !. ernment, know. that these concessions may De withdrawn whenever the govern ment chooses, and Americans run the risk of having their privileges cancelled should Germany and the United States have an economic disagreement.

Great Harry Was the Country's Pre-
mtcr Fighting Machine.


or the first ship. properly speaking,
Of the British navy. known as the
Great Harry. the following partlcu-
lars are given in an old number of the
Mechanics Magazine, dated Oct. 20,
1923:
The Great Harry was built by King
Henry VII at cost of f11OOO, ana
was burned ut Woolwich. through acct
dent In 1853.
Though King Henry. as well as
other princes, hired many ships, eX-
elusive of those which the different
seaports were Obliged to furnish, he
seems thus to have been the first king
who thought of avoiding this incon-
yenience by raising such a force as
might be mt all times sufficient for the
service Of the state. Historians tell us
that he caused his navy, which had
been neglected in the preceding reign.
to be put In condition TO protect the
British COASTS against all foreign inva-
sions. and that in the midst of pro-
found peace he always kept up fleet
ready to act.
In August, 1912, the Regent, n ship
of 1000 tons. which was at that time
the largest vessel In the British navy.
was burned, and to replace 1t the
Great Harry, or, as it was also known,
the Henry Grace de Dieu, was built In
1915.
The vessel. of about 1000 tons bur
den, was manned by $40 soldiers, 3Ol
marines and 80 gunners. She had four
masts and portfolios on both decks and
in other parts.
Before the time Of her construction
the cannon were placed above deck
and on the prov and poop One De-
charges, French builder at Brest, is
said to have invented portfolios.
In list of the British navy, as 1t
stood on Jan. 3, 1913, the Great Harry
is said to have carried 10 brass and 1O3
iron pieces Of ordnance.
The name of the ship is supposed to
have been changed in the reign of Ed
ward VI to Edward, which. on Aug.
20, 1852, was reported to be still lin
good case to serve" and was ordered
''to be grounded and calked once n

BILLIARD CUES.

How They Are NIndc-America Fur
nishes the Best.
"Most billiard cues" said n New York
manufacturer the other day, "are made
in two pieces-the cue proper and the
handle. The cue is made generally Of
maple, and the butt. which is wedge
shaped, is inserted into a handle Of
rosewood, snakewood, ebony, mahog-
any, walnut or some other fancy dark
wood. which is cut to dovetail with the
long part.
"The maple wood used in making the
handles Is sawed into suitable lengths
and seasoned. The logs are then split
into pieces from which the handles are
made. These pieces are called bolts.
The bolts are sawed approximately to
the shape of the handle TO be finally
made, and in this shape they are han
-cle'bhcks. The handle block Is turned
to the shape of the handle in lathe,
and when The butt has been fitted it is
finished and polished.
"The finest and best cues are fitted
to the handle or butt by means OF
double wedge. At the top of the cue is
a ferrule of ivory. of horn or bone, In
which the leather tip is fitted. While
the ivory ferrule is the most expensive.
of course 1t is less durable than the
horn or bone ferrules, which are less
yable to crack. The extra workman
ship on cues is put in on the butts,
some.of which are elaborately inlaid
and carved In beautiful patterns.
"There are number of billiard play
ers who will not permit another person
to use their cues. and for the use of
these particular players cues are turn
ed out from which the tips may be un-
screwed. leaving the cue with unfnish-
ed points and useless.
American billiard cues are the light
est. strongest and neatest made any
where In the world. They are made
in all weights and lengths and rank in
price from 80 cents to S25 and more
each. according to the quality and fin
ish of the article.-Washington Star.

The Lesson He wanted.

In his autobiography, ''Up From Slav-
cry" Booker II. Washington tells an
amusing anecdote of an old colored
man who during the days of slavery
wanted to learn how to play on the gui-
tar. In his desire to take guitar les
sons he applied to one of his young
masters to teach him. But the young
man. not having much faith In the
ability Of the slave to master the gui-
tar at his age, sought to discourage
him by telling him: "Uncle Jake, will
give you guitar lessons. But. Jake,
will have to charge you SO for the first
lesson, SO for the second lesson and 81
for the third lesson. But will charge
you only 25 cents foA lie last lesson"
= Uncle Jake answered: "An right,
boss. -, you on dem terms. But
boss. Ants yer to be sure an give me
dat las lesson first"

THE FIRST GERMAN PAPER
Ben Frnnisiin In 1872 Printed the
First Zeitung In America.


The first newspaper printed in the
German language in America was the
Philadelphische Zeitung, published by
Benjamin Franklin In the year 1882.
The Pennsylvania Gazette for June
8-15. 1872. contains the following an
nouncement:
1.-THE Gazette will come out on Mon
day next and continue to be published
OH Mondays.
"And on the Saturday following will
be published Philadelphische Zeitung,
or Newspaper In High Dutch. which
will continue to be published on Satur-
days once fortnight, ready to be dc.
livered at Ten Clock, to Country Sub
scribers. Advertisements are taken in
by the Printer hereof, or by Mr.. Louis
Timothee, Language Master. who trans
lates them"
In undertaking this new enterprise
Franklin expected to secure liberal
support from the German population of
the province. for whom he had been
doing considerable printing, but in this
he was disappointed, and the publlca-
tion of the Zeitung was discontinued
after few numbers had been issued.
The Zeitung was a small sheet of
four pages, 6la by 0 inches the text
printed in double columns with Roman
type, and at the bottom Of the fourth
page bore the imprint: philadelphia:
Gedruckt hey b. Francklin in der
Marck-strasse, wo desc Zeitungen vor
5 Shillngs des Jahrs zu bekommen,
und Advertisements III bestellen sind"
The first number was issued June 10,
1882, and the second "Sonnabend den

Zeitung. therefore, antedates by seven
years the Hoch-Deutsch Pennsylva-
