EvANGELISTS IN AFTERNOON
Problem of Filling Churches and sum
day schools IL Discussed
Generally.

The afternoon session at the Coliseum
was given over to the evangelists. who dis
cussed their labors, with J. V. Coombs
acting as leader.
Following the song service, led by II. A.
Easton, Charles Reign Scovel of Chicago
conducted a service OF prayer. He called
to mind the advantages of invoking the
aid Of the Almighty in all times and
places, and enumerated the prayers OF
Jesus as given in the New Testament. In
cidentally he advocated gymnasiums libra
ries and amusements as proper adiunets to
churches.
Rev. McNeal spoke on the problem OF
filing up the churches and Sunday schools.
He showed great results that had been
accomplished by a Cincinnati plan, which
was to divide a Sunday school into two
parts, the reds and the blues, elect cap
tains for each, and the side bringing the
largest attendance within a certain period
won a supper of ice cream and cake and
the losers washed the dishes.
Mr.. J. v. Coombs made a plea for the
''old evangelism and the religion OF
long ago." He also pointed out the lack
OF system to the work as compared with
the work OF a great political party.
George Sims Of Ohio had time to name
five obstacles in the way OF evangelical
tion." These were: First, the apathy Of
the professed followers OF Christ; second
the too frequent rendering Of classical mu-
sic; third, an occasional dietatorlal, opin-
donated pastor; fourth, an unprepareC

George F. Hall advocated advertising
everywhere, and particularly in the news
papers. He said that the latter we're the
best possible medium and he advocated as
a paying investment the plan of running
the pastors picture at regular space rates.
Simpson Ely protested against titling the
scholarly divines with degrees or Teyerends
and incidentally took another swing at
church federation. which. he said, is I'M
sound teaching.
James Small talked OF the evangelist 5
temptations. saying that one is to depend
too much on themselves and not enough on
Jesus; another to visit at the homes to the
neglect Of the shops and stores. where the
men are. and a third to get discouraged.
T. J. Legg OF Indianapolis hurled several
kinds OF defiance at the resolution Of Tues
day night. declaring that he was laboring
under a higher commission than that and
he would ignore It and go where he pleased.
He stated that federation would block the
work Of new churches and the convention
had better have adjourned Tuesday after
noon than have taken the action it did.
Charles Reign Scoville spoke briefly in
contradiction Of the insinuation that even
gelists have cnly a desire to add numbers
without regard to real repentance. He said
that he could not believe any of the evan
gellsts present wished ever to have one
conversion that was not intelligently made
and willingly made. The evangelists echoed
this with a chorus of amens.
The benediction was pronounced by Evan
gelist Northcutt.

AnuSements.



The opening concert of the season by the
Young Mems Christian association, or,
rather, under its auspices, was given last
night at Boyd's theater to an audience
which filled the house. The boxes even
were filled and, II they were not particu-
larly noticeable for their dress effects.
they doubtless represented the earnings"
at the boxofice, to a degree. The gallery
was inclined TO be 'rambunctious" at the
start, but some unseen influence was ap-
parenly exerted to quell the exuberance
which found expression in offering gratui
tous advice to the participants on the pro-
gram.
The concert program was made up OF
numbers which we're very evidently con-
cession to popular" taste and as the
Young Mems Christian association course is
Of a popular nature one cannot rebel.
From a musical standpoint it seemed a
pity that an artist of George Hamlin's
standing should be heard only in numbers
which are we'll known to the average stu
dio frequenter. Especially, in consideration
of the fact that Mr.. Hamlin is conceded by
the best critics in this country to be un-
questionably the greatest American expo

Richard. the Dauntless, however, even had
he been expounded by George the Good,

did wisely in singing those things which
were self-explanatory. His voice is beau
tiful, we'll poised and equal to all demands.
His singing is of the intellect, and of the

One Of the regrets Of the convention was
that Miss Rebecca Givans, one Of the sweet

to do so because of a severe throat trouble.

TRAMP NUISANCE.

Supt. J. W. Brown, of the state
training school, delivered an address
before the convention of the heads of
the state institutions yesterday. and
he advanced new idea for the elm
ination of the tramp nuisance from
the body politic. Work on state farm
is his remedy. He would have the
st ste purchase large tract of land
on which cheap buildings should be
erected. The judges of the courts
should have power. to send tramps to
this farm, where they should be COM

Mr.. Brown holds, would be reduced 80
per cent during the next two years

A. TEST CASE.
Draymen Arrested For Not Taking
Out City Licenses.

Chief Bowen today made complaint
against W.. r.. Hammett and G. W.
Jessup. charging them with engaging
in the business of carrying property
for hire without having taken out a
license as required by an ordinance
passed last June. This ordinance was
passed through the instrumentaIity of
the Teamsters' union, and imposes an
annual license fee of $40. on each two
horse wagon or dray, and So. 90 on
each one-horse wagon. Sixteen
licenses have been taken out, but
Messrs. HammetJ and Jessup, who
employ number of drays have not
taken out licenses.
The defendants were arraigned be-
fore Judge Shisslerat 2 p. m. and
pleaded not guilty. Their trial was
set for Aug. 10Th, and they were al
lowed to go on their own recognizance.
They intend to test the validity of the
ordinance.
If the ordinance holds good, il
will limit the number of teams that
can be engaged in hauling ice nexI
winter, which will probably force the
price up.

ference down at 'Kato one of these

After Returning From Alaska, Mr.. and

stone Park.

Mr. and Mrs. L. P. Hunt returned
last night from their trip to Alaska.
They have been gone six weeks, and
report having had an enjoyable time.
They made the trip up on the steamer
Al-Ki, and returned on the Cottage
City. The trip to Alaska is most of
the way in deep, narrow channel be-
tween high ranges of mountains, and
the scenery is delightful
Whales in great numbers were seen,
and four or five of them were seen in
the clutches of "threshers, which
are small marine animals with Strong
arms and "big mitts. 4" One of these
little fellows will fasten itself on the
back of a whale, and when it comes
up to breathe or blow it will strike
tine big fish over the snout with its
arms, tbreshing the water several feet
high. 1t will in this way prevent the
whale from getting air until it finally
browns.
The plant of the Alaska Fish and
Lumber Co. at Shakan was found tc
be in most satisfactory condition. II
has the largest cannery and the largest
cannery wharf in Alaska. The plant
also has the finest location of any oi
the Alaska cannery companies. The
company's water front is very fine.
The cannery is now turning ou
1, 500 cases daily and expects soon tt
increase it to 1900. The red fish were
running some time ago, and now thu

INVASION OF CANADA.

With some alarm the st. Paul Dis
patch views the invasion of Canada by
landseekers from the United States
and says that already the middle west
is feeling a direct drain of its life
blood of commerce. The rush for lands
is drawing away the small bank de-
posits, and the banks in the small
towns throughout the states of the
middle west are compelled to call on
the larger banks for the money which
will tide them through the period of
speculation.
The drain is not confined to the
small deposits entirely. Men in the
larger cities are investing their
money in the Canadian lands. In
Minneapolis and st. Paul the effect is
felt not little and those who would
fain induce men to invest their cash
In various enterprises are finding out
to their sorrow that much of the
money formerly ON deposit has taken
wings and gone across the border.
The American people reached out
for the west and won it. Now they
propose to take advantage of the
cheap lands in Canada and who
knows but that in the end it may
prove a good thing; it will bring the
people of this and the Canadian coun-
try into closer relationship and it is
not wild prediction to make that
such an invasion may cause te imagin-
ary line to be wiped out and our Can
adian neighbors would then become a
part and parcel of these United States.
Stranger things have happened.

ized by electing Col. WidelI president.
E. D. Wilmot vice president, and E.

The former president. J. G. Thro,

and so informed the board, saying
that his private business was such
that he had not the time to devote to
the Office of president, which takes a
good deal of time on account of the
construction work going on.
The vote on president was five for

one for John. g. Noe. The only member
absent from the meeting was Miss

The other business transacted was
merely routine.
