The traveller in the Holy Land will
witness few sights which will interest
him more than that of the Russian pill
grims at the annual Epiphany cere-
monies on the banks of the River
Jordan.
A week before the festival itself
crowds of these Slav peasants are seen
trudging along the Jericho road, with
every imaginable kind of haversack
and carry-all on their backs. Some of
the pilgrims are old and weather-worn,
Others young and cheerful, while few,
overcome by sleep and fatigue, are ly-
ing prone along the roadside. But
somehow the whole lot, young and old,
manage to reach the banks of the river
IN good time for the ceremony They
spend the night, perhaps, in the Rus
sian hosDice at Jericho, where they
simply huddle together like flock of
sheep. Before dawn the rooms are
empty, and the whole crowd has gath
cred on the bank, where Greek priests
who will presently drive most lu-
crative trade await them.
The principal articles sold are
branches of trees from various sacred
spots, stones from the Mountain of
Temptation hard by, plants from the
Wilderness and rosarieS with olive
stones for beads. TO whatever reli-
glous value is claimed for these ar
tlcles the Russian peasants implicitly
give credence. and they willingly pay
their money to obtain them.
During the hours Immediately pre-
ceding the ceremony the motley crowd

Her name is Bridget, and she is as
green as the shamrock Of her native
heath. Withal, she knows how Ia
cock; hence she is a jewel--a priceless
gem whose value is properly appreci
ated by the Bander household on the
West Side. One Thursday evening
after dinner Mrs. Bander went to
Brdget's room TO make arrangements
for the marketing of the next day.
There stood the jewel in her best
bib and tucker" before her mirror
jabbling pins and hairpins here and
there with reckless abandon.
"Ah, Bridget why all this tinery?
Going to party?" inquired Mrs. Ban
der.
"u-u-u-mm," mumbled Bridget, her
mouth full of hairpins. Then Mrs
Bander told the jewel what was want
ed for the next days dinner.
When she was done Bridget said
confdentially and with illsuppressed
excitement:
"iou see, mum, it's just this away.
You know my sister Ann Eliza works
for the Jonses, an Jennie Jones wus
married to Jack Carey today. Well,
mum. SEE my sister sez she: Now,

Some very interesting data on Inter.
state migration is given in the Nation.
nj Magazine. According to this au.
thority not one In five native-born Am.
orleans lives in the same State in
which he was born. AS would natur'
ally be expected, the oldest States send
out the greatest number of adven-
turers, and of these States New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Illinois are
credited with n million each, while
Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri
and Virginia are credited with half a
million each. Vermont, however, pro-
portionally to her population, has
given more emigrants than any other
State of the Union, Vermonters equal
ing in numbers nearly one-half of the
present native population of the State,
now living in other States. By this
seeking for betterment Illinois has re-
ceived more citizens than any other
State, though Missouri and Texas are
not very far behind. The States that
show Il net gain from this intermigra.
tion are Massachusetts, Rhode Island,
Connecticut, New Jersey, West Vir-

the child what was the matter and re-

Sunday morning:
ITO the Members of Highland Avenue
Baptist Church
My dearly beloved brethren:
God has often tested mems faith
and strengthened their characters by
commanding of them strange things.
We have often witnessed how that he
has chosen the weak things of earth
to confound the mighty Just how
and why this is done perhaps we may
never know till we understand more
fully in the life to come. It Is not
ours to question his leadings It Is
not ours to meddle with his plans.
We are not here by chance, but by the
ordering of a providence that never
errs. We owe it to God, then, and to
ourselves to make the most of exist
that courses over the plain, never to
return, and all that any one can get
out of it is usefulness.
This, brethren, as | have tried for
two years to evidence to you, has
been my one great absorbing thought
how to be useful in the Lords vine
yard. trust | shall never. for once,
lose sight Of the grand end of my
calling-that | may never suffer my
self to seek the applause of men, but
that [ may continually work for the
appreciation of God; that | may ney-
er seek my own glory, but that | may
ever seek to gorify my heavenly fa-
ther, looking after the interests of his
kingdom and not my own interests.
It is my constant prayer that | may
always be enabled to keep my eyes
on the pillar of cloud and fire that
points out the way.
My beloved, he is the potter, | am
only the vessel. and | would not at
tempt to mar the unfolding of his
providence. AS it seems his will and
his leading that | should accept the
work to which | am so urgently CALI
ed, and which is inded an unlimited
and glorious field for usefulness, I,
with feeling of grief that is mex
pressible, hereby tender my resigna-
tion as pastor of this church, which
resignation is to take effect Dec. 7th.
1902 Lovingly and tearfully,
Your Devoted Pastor.

saloonists, appeared in the circuit
court Thursday afternoon and this
morning and entered pleas of guilty
to the charge of Sabbath breaking and
were each fined $25 and costs on one
indictment. Eight in all were re-
turned against each saloon man OF
the city except Wiley Jones, the col.

seven indictments are held in abey-
ance, pending the future behavior OF
the saloon men.
1t was all arranged before hand, and
the saloon men knew what was COM
ing to them, but while they were not
compelled to answer to but one in
dictment Judge Grace put it up to
them in such light that good results
can only be accomplished.
Judge Grace summoned them to ap-
pear before him in open court. He
told them that it was not his desire
to make them pay penalty, and that
the best way for them to avoid doing
so would be for them to keep inviolate
the law in the future. He said that
he understood that the saloons had
been open on Sundays in the past on
an arrangement with the authorities
by which they were allowed to open

that he as not disposed to hold them
accountable for eight indictments. but
that he would be compelled to do so
should it develop in the future that
in any instance they violated the Sum-
day closing law In other words the
saloon men are on parole. If they do
not further violate the Sunday closing
law all will be WELL but should they
do so, they will be tried by jury on
the remaining seven indictments.
Judge Grace spoke to them in no
evasive terms. He said that as long
as he was circuit judge lie would eX-
ert his full power to have them pros
ecuted should they again violate the
Sunday law.
All the other saloon men, excepting
John Wells, ]. Sapienza, Ed Harvey
and C. G.. Brockway, who are out of
athe city, appeared before Judge Grace
this afternoon and were administered
the same penalty and talk the other
saloon men received.
A prominent attorney commenting
on Judge Grace's remarks to the sa
loon men said: "If I were saloon
man l would keep my saloon hermit

is in earnest, and should they con
tinue to violate the Sunday law it
will have the effect of breaking them

Pathetic Scene at Leave
Taking of Rev. Ross Moore

The Jackson Tenn, Daily Wing con
tains the following interesting account
of the farewell service at the High
land Ave Baptist church of that city on
the oct asnon of Rev. Ross Moore sev
ering his connection with that church
as pastor to accept the call to the
pastorate of the First Baptist church
of Pine Bluff:
1T was indeed pathetic scene Sun
day morning when Rev. Ross More,
pastor of the Highland Avenue Bap-
tist church, appeared before his peo-
pie and began the reading of his res
ignation TO accept the pastorate OF
the Pine Bluff, Ark, Baptist church.
1t has always been known that this
Young minister was deSerVedly pOpu-
lar with his congregation, but no such
expression of their love and conf
dence was expected until the an
nounccment was made. Pastor and
people gave down and wept. and those
fGre have they witnessed such a
scene from so large a congregation.
When tie service was concluded there
We're no dry eyes in the house and
it was Az occasion long to be remem-
bered.
Rev Ross Moore was graduated
from tie Southwestern Baptist Uni
versity in this city in 1899 with the
he took up the post graduate work at
Yale, and before returning to Ten
neSsee received unanimous call to
the pastorate of the Highland Avenue
Baptist church. When he came to the
flock the church was in debt, the
membership was small, the attend
ance very poor and every surround
ing enough to discourage a much old
er man. He went to work with a
zeal remarkable, and in short time
had won the esteem and confidence of
his people and soon had their CO.
operation in the work. He has la
bored with them Tor TWO years, ana
during this time has added to the
church 1875 new members. The heavy
debt has been raised and everything
is now in a very flourishing condi-
ton.
