WANT THE OLD
 TIME RELIGION
PRELIMINARY MEETINGS TO MUM
 HALL REVIVAL BEING HELD. MIR. JAMES BoWRoN PRESlDES
 AT FIRST METHODIST CHURCH.

song and prayer service was held at
 the First Methodist church last night pre- liminary to the union revival services to
 be begun by the Rev. Dr. w. L. Munhall.
 the celebrated evangelist, assisted by the leading churches of the city, April g. MT. James Bowron presided at the meeting last night, and made a short and enthusi-
 astic address to the audience, touching
 the lines the revival will be conducted
 upon.
 What we want" said MT. Bowron, "is
 a revival of the old-fashion religion. We
 want no theories of theosophy, no bud
 dhsm, no cult and no discussion of spirit
 ualism. We want to preach Christ and
 Christ crucified, believing that by his
 blood and his blood alone can the sinner be saved"
 Another meeting will be held tonight at
 the First Methodist church to practice the revival songs to be sung during the
 revival A special song book will be used and 1t is desired that those taking part | in the song services familiarize them- selves with the new songs before the meeting opens.
 After the arrival of Dr. Munhall, two | services will be held daily, one in the morning and the other at night. The night services will be held at the First
 Methodist church, while the day services will be held at the different churches join | ing in the revival. The services will con tinue for at least three weeks and pos
 sibly longer if interest warrants it. Dr. Munhall has had wonderful suc- cess as a revivalist, and the Christian | workers of the city are expecting much | good to be accomplished during the meet ngs. Unusual interest Is already mani- fested, and there seems to be a united ef- fort on the part of all church workers to | arouse a religious sentiment and enthus-
 iasm that will accomplish much and last | ing good

Use of Wireless TeIegraphy.
Philadelphia Times

From the Philadelphia Times.
 Even if the utility of Marconi's system were to be wholly confined to telegraph ing at sea, or across the sea, the service which he has rendered to mankind would be .inestimable. What possibilities there may be of preventing altogether, or at least of minimizing, collisions and con- sequent loss of life at sea are yet to De developed; yet if we mistake not, tnis may be the most important of all the fruits of this remarkable invention. TO warn one vessel of the proximity or an other in midocean 1t is not necessary that apparatus should be used that can trans init words. Impliments of far simpler de- tail and less delicate and costly construc- tion would doubtless be effective. IL IS easy to conceive that these might pe automatic in character, so that in cer- tain radii no vessel could approach an- other without the officers of each pos sessing perfect knowledge of the fact. Even if information as to the name, des- tination, and character of each vessel were not transmitted to the other, the es- sential purpose desired would be attained. The present means of signaling in fog, darkness or storm are inadequate, often deceptive, and never thoroughly reliable, when reliability is most required. It seems to US that it would be well if this most urgent application or wireless teleg- raphy were developed before it's broader and perhaps more lucrative use. Lives of many hundreds of human beings would be saved by It's speedy adoption.

tember 8, 1900. to amend the act for the protection of lives of miners in terri tories
 The Senate then resumed consideration of the oleomargarine bill. MT. Simmons, N C., said the enactment of the bill would destroy many oleomargarine lac tories and render practically valueless millions of invested capital and 1t also would affect seriously growers of cot tonseed and manufacturers of cottonseeo oil, and also the principal cattle and hog raisers.
 MT. Proctor, Vermont, in charge of the bill said he proposed to accept the amendment offered by MT. Harris, Kan sas, placing a tax of 10 cents pound on adulterated butter and regarding the manufacture and sale of renovated and process butter.
 Mir Mitchell. Oregon, MT. Dillingham;, Vermont, and MT. McCumber, North Da- kota, supported the bill.

ILLINOIS FARMERS WIN SUIT.
A Thousand Homes Saved After a
 Twenty-Five Years Fight.

From the Chicago Record-Herald
 Nearly a thousand land owners in Ad-
 ans, Pike and Calhoun counties have
 won fight, after twenty-five years of
 litigation, which, had the verdict been
 the other way would have swept away
 their property.
 The case of O'Brien ct al., executors cf
 the estate of Francis Palms, against
 Whee1cck ct all, commonly known as the
 Shy levee bond suit" has just been
 decided by the supreme court of the
 United States in favor of the defendant land owners. This is one of the most
 noted real estate causes ever heard in
 this state. It directly involved certain
 bonds held by the executors of Francis
 Palms of Detroit, Mich. representing
 principal and interest of more than $1,-
 o00,000 and indirectly other bonds to an equal amount.
 It was claimed that these bonds were lien upon assessments on about 11O,- 000 acres of land, situated on the west
 side of Adams, Pike and Calhoun Coun- ties, in this state.
 The bonds were issued in 1872 and 1875
 by the commissioners of the Shy Ievee drainage provisions of the act of April
 24 1871. and the money derived from
 them was used in building what purpor- ted to be ievee for the protection of the lands Un the east bank of the Mississippi river.
 | In 1876 the levee broke in many places and nearly all Improvements were washed away. About the same time the supreme | court of Illinois decided the act of 1871 unconstitutional and the assessments | therein void. In 1878 MT. Palms filed a pill in the United States circuit court dfefrf of af D9a | against the levee commissioners. The | case was heard before the late Judge | Drummond, in 1879 and 1880. and he held | that the bondholders were entitled to lien upon the levee to secure their | bends.
 | MT. Palms did not avail himself of the | privilege granted him to file a supple
 mental bill, and died in 1886. His execu- | tors undertook to collect the bonds, and
 in April, 1889, filed bill against 1000 per- sons who owned the land or were inter- | ested in it.
 Over four years were consumed in talk | ing the evidence in the case, and Judge | William J. Allen decided in favor of the | land owners.
 | The case was then taken up to the | United States circuit court of appeals at l Chicago, which sustained the decision of ] Judge Allen.
 The poHuholuerS then applied to the | United States supreme court for writ 1 of certiorari which was granted by the | court. The cause was submitted to the
 supreme court on it's merits in October | of last year.
 | All the judges before whom the case | was heard in its trials through the United | States circuit court are now dead, and the same is true of two of the judges who | heard it in the circuit court of appeals.
 All of the original counsel for the land
 owners, under the bill filed in 1878, are dead, except David T. Littler. All or the original defendants are dead except George w. Jones, late clerk of the ap- pellate court.

 Remain In the South.

It is now a settled fact that MT. p. O. Hopkins will give up the presidency of the Sloss- Sheffield Steel and Iron Com pany on the first of May. He is talking of going abroad with his family in the early summer but tempting business propositions are coming to him and 1t may be that he will not see his way clear to take pleasure trip. There is good authority for stating that no longer than yesterday MT. Hopkins received a flat tering business offer from strong south ern corporation. He may or he may not accept 1t. He is known to be man of large means and not at all dependent upon a salaried position. But his friends here hope that he will see his way clear to accept any position that will keep him in this part of the country.

WOMEN IN THE STOCK YARDS
Taking the Places of Men in chicago's
 Distinctive Industry.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 Slowly but irresistibly women and girls are forcing men out of the lighter work that is done at the stock yards. Thous- an6s of them are employed in the pack ing and canning factories there, and if the business grows as it has done with in the last three years thousands more will be used. In no case, however, are the women working at anything but what might be termed Kitchen work" such as c,tting dried beef packing cans, stuff ing sausages and labelling cans.
 Dread has been Aroused by this growth of female labor in the yards, and many of the social settlement leaders fear the timo may come when the girls will use the knife even in staying. So great has this become that Miss Mary Mcdowell of the University of Chicago Settlement suggested 1t at a meeting of the Wom an S Union Label League
 General opinion in the yards, however, is that the day is still far distant when the girls actually will take hand in the killing of even a chicken.
 Between 5000 and 5000 women and girls are on the payroll of the various stock yards houses. They form 75 per cent of
  In both concerns girls while taking work that once was done by men are hired to do only the lighter grades of labor.
 In one of the rooms where forty girls were busy painting cans, and where the fumes of paint were heavy, all were ask ed if they liked their work, whether they got sufficient pay and whether the,- were willing to give up their places to r,cri.
 "Ijkc my work?' asked Jennie Laugh lin Sure I do. The pay beats that of my sister down on State street all hol- low Why, I was off two days of last week ana still made s9. Don't think for a rnnu.c that I am going to give up this job ,u eny man. Cutting him out? Sure, I ar, but whats the diff?

Hello Bill.

Lovers of farcial comedy will welcome the advent at the Jefferson Theatre to- morrow, matinee and night, of Willis Maxwell Goodhue's joyful oddity, Hello Bill" which has now been styled by the press of the country successful comedy. It is said that MT. Goodhue's merry play stands a living example that it is not necessary to be vulgar to be funny, and its financial success Is also evidence that cleanly farces are desired by the Ameri- can public. The story of Hello Bill, ' how William Fuller, who didn't go to war got all that was coming to the Will liam Fuller who did, Is familiar to the atregoers and 1t Is sufficient to say that the company this season is said to be bet ter than ever, and the merry com edy presented on a scale of excellence it has never heretofore known.

The Jefferson-Joseph Murphy.

The play presented by Joseph Murphy at the Jefferson last night, Kerry Cow, :" has been played for 2S years by that comedian. It is Irish to the core chock- full of the brogue from that old country and laughable to a degree. It has the olden.time villain, the hero and the heroine. The latter two win as the cur tain falls.
 "Kerry Cow is given in four acts, each of which is made realistic alm ost to an extreme. The third act is at blacksmith shop and during it two large horses are on the stage The story of the race be- tween these horses is brought to the home of the heroine by means of doves; pretty white birds that fly directly to their home. The comedy is the kind which wins applause.
 MT Murphy took the leading part grace fully. His brogue was excellent and he seemed fresh from the land of St. Patrick All horse play usually given to the stage Irish was absent. Miss Jean cite Ferrel played her part charmingly. Miss Florence Sinnott in a jockeys uni form did some creditable dancing.
 The play will be repeated at matinee this afternoon. Tonight shaun Rhue," which MT. Murphy asserts is his best play will be produced.
