oRGAN's DIsCoRDANT MUSIC.
Pastor of Church in Lexington,
Ky, Withdrayys Because His Com
gregatiOn Wants Music.

Lexington, Ky, Nov 24.-The with
arawal of Rev. James NJ. McGarvie,
president of the Bible college of the
Kentucky university, from the Broad
way Christian church, became final
Sunday, when that church, by a vote
of 81 to 2o2, adopted the organ for
use in worship. He opposed it on
scriptural grounds, being noted
throughout the denomination for his
utterances against it.
For 80 years the church which he
organized. and of which he was first
pastor and always an elder, observed
his wish, but weeks ago those favor
ing instrumental music demanded a
vote. President McGarvie Immediate
ly demanded Il letter transferring his
membership to another church where
there is no organ, conditional on the
vote. Two factions developed in the
church, and the campaign was intense.
Rev. j. W. Zachary, late prohibition
candidate for congress, has also with
drawn, and Prof. Henry II. White,
former president of Kentucky univer-
sity. and others, say they will leave
the church when the organ is in
stalled.

TERRIBLE DEVASTATION.
Over Seven Thousand Lives Lost by
the Santa Maria Volcano Erup-
ion in Guatemala.

Port Barrios, Guatemala, Nov. 10,
via New Orleans. Nov. 22.-Refugees
who have arrived here from western
Guatemala report a terrible state OF
affairs as a result of the eruption OF
the Santa Maria Volcano The coun-
try for a radius of over thirty miles
has been made a desert waste, and
every vestige of life destroyed. The
loss of life is estimated at over 1000.
the great majority of the victims be-
ing Indians. Ten Indian villages, each
with a population of from 80 to 50t
inhabitants, were wiped out, the rude
huts being buried beneath tons OF
debris All the coffee plantationsinth the
volcanic zone are ruined and their
ownere are left penniless. The coffee
plantations in this region were the
most valuable in the country, and
their destruction is a severe blow to
the republic. The greatest distress
prevails throughout the central and
western poruoHS OF the Iepupic. y
famine exists at Quezaltenango anc
10000 people are starving. Even in
Guatemala City, the capital, the in
habitants are suffering for food. Flour
is selling in Guatemala for S25 a bar
rel in gold, and rice of an inferior
quality is quoted at 20 cents a pouno
in gold. The government is utterly
unable to relieve the distress and suf-
fering, and the people are on the
verge of revolution

INDEFINITE AS YET.


Scranton. Pa. Nov. 23.-The propo-
sition to have the anthracite mine
workers and their employers try to
come to some agreement without the
direct aid of the arbitration commits
sion, which became publicly known
Friday, remains in the same indefinite
form as when the development first
became known. Both sides waited for
the commission to adjourn, and it is
probable that conferences will be held
early next week Where these meet
ings will be held has not yet been de-
cided upon, nor is it known who on
each side will conduct the negotia-
tions.
While most of those interested eX-
press the belief that the two parties
will be able to agree themselves, there
are some who can see no good in the
new movement. 1t seems almost ceF-
tain that the miners will stand out
strongly for contract with the Unit
ed Mine Workers of America, instead
of yearly contracts and conferences
between each company and the men it

operators On two of the other de-
mands-increas in wages and short
er workday-a compromise, it is
thought. can readily be made.
The commission adjourned, Satur-
day.until December Sand most of the
commissioners and out-of-town attor-
neys Immediately left for their homes.

Funeral of Bishop Thompson.

Bishop Hugh Miller Thompson
was inferred in st. Columb's Chapel,
at Jackson, last week. He was laid
in vault beneath the chancel which
he had caused to be prepared when
the chapel was built about twelve
years ago in anticipation OF his own
death.
In the morning holy communion
was celebrated at st. Columb's
chapel, the family, many friends, the
visiting bishops and clergy being
present to partake of the sacrament.
In the afternoon the funeral process
sion left Battle Hill, the bishops
residence. About twenty of the
most distinguished members Of the
clergy present were designated as
honorary pallbearers. Arriving at
st. Andrews church the funeral cor
tege was met by procession COM
posed of the choir, clergy and the
visiting bishops present, who had
formed in st. Andrews. The cas-
ket containing the remains of the
bishop was taken into the church
and the burial service for the dead
was read.
After the service the funeral pro-
cession was then reformed with a
number Of visiting delegations IN the
line of march. There was an espe-
cially large delegation from Trinity
church in New Orleans, of which
Bishop Thompson had been rector
for many years before he became
bishop. The procession proceeded
to st. Columb's chapel, where the re-
mains of the dead were laid to rest
with the usual ceremonies. In adj
dition to the visiting delegations the
following bishops were present:

ELEPHANT ON A RAMPAGE.
Big Brute Goes Crazy, Kills Keeper
and Escapes to the Woods, but
Is Finally Shot to Death.

Savannah, Ga, Nov. 24.-Gypsy, the
big elephant belonging to a circus
and which injured his keeper in win
ter quarters in Chicago several years
ago. went crazy six miles from Val
dosta, Saturday afternoon, and killed
her keeper, James O'Rourke. The cir
Gus train had been in a wreck at Tiff
ton, early in the day, when several OF
the animal cars were wrecked and two
or three trained horses killd. The ele-
plant Gypsy was in highly nervous
state when the train pulled out for
VaIdosta, the next show point. Six
miles out from that town Gypsy be-
came so noisy and restless that
O'Rourke entered her car as the train
stopped at a small station to try to
quiet her. Immediately the mad brute
attacked the man and crushed his life
out against the side of the car.
O'Rourke for some reason did not
so after killing her keeper, Gypsy es-
caped to the woods. Her absence was
noted before the train left the sta
ton, and hunt was organized. The
big beast was shot a number of times
before she succumbed to rife bullets

O'Rourke's body was taken to Val
dosta, where it was given burial Sun

The bond of State Treasurer
Hampton will be made in two surety
companies instead of one. The en-
tire bond for a quarter of a million
dollars was made by one company,
which promptly re-insured the part
it did not care to carry. A further
examination of the law, however,
has revealed the fact that the surely
company cannot make an official
Mississippi bond for over one-tenth
of the amount of its capital stock.
The company in question has cap
ital of $1,600,000, and it can, there
fore, under this provision, only make
the bond for 100000. The rest of
the bond, amounting to 100000,
will be placed in another company.

ANOTHER MURDER MYSTERY.
A Cincinnati Wan Found in 81 Pool of
Blood, but no CIew to His
Murderer.

Cincinnati, Nov 24.-Edward Saat-
kamp, accountant and acting superin-
tendent of the Ross-Moyer Machinery
Tool Co., was killed, Sunday, at the
factory here. His body was found in
a pool of blood, and there was every
indication in the counting room of a
struggle, but no clew to the deed can
be found. The only other person
known TO be about the building was
the colored janitor, and the most yig
orous Sweating" by detectives failed
to hold him. Last June John Seifert,
one of the oldest employees of the
company, was found murdered in the
engine room of the same factory, and
the mystery of that deed has never
been solved. Both victims had money
and were robbed.

THE GUATEMALA TRAGEDY.

ceeds Dr. Godfrey Hunter, the retiring
minister. 1t is recognized here that
Dr. Hunters position at the Guatemala
capital can hardly remain tenable, in
view of the tragic events of the past
few days, and for this reason he no
doubt would like to be relieved very
soon. Mr. Combs original intention,
as understood here, was to be at
Guatemala City by the first of the
year, but Fridays developments may
cause him to change his plans. The
suggestion has been made that the
state department may find it expedi-
ent to await his arrival there in order
to obtain a satisfactory account of
the shooting, as the information al
ready received has been conflicting i'll

The children were all talking at
once.

This speech settled the question, and
14-year-old Winifred was appointed
chairman of the purchasing commit

bin that sent them all flying at him,
until he f1ed down the steps to keep
from being smothered by their raptur-

Bobby Jenner and his thanksgiving

and supper, until the governor and
his wife became almost as interested as

Oh, the bargains the purchasing COM
mittee found in the hours after school.
There was a soft, warm shawl, two pat
terms of percale for wrappers, nice
mittens and overcoat that fitted plump
Robby perfectly, so, of course, they
would fit Bobby Jenner.
At the end of the week the commit
tee agreed that they had never had
SO coed d tilae in their lives before.
The governor came home with an
important air one night, and, calling
the children around him, told them the
good news that Bobby's Ather was
going home for Thanksgiving.
Going home; where has he been?"
were the eager questions, and the gov
ernor answered sadly: "Jenner made
mistake one time, and they sent him
away from home for long time, TO
make him sorry for it."
"Oh, papa, has he been in prison?'
asked Winifred. in an awed tone.
The governor nodded; then he told
them how very sorry Jenner had been
for the wrong he had done, and they
were letting him out before his SEN
tence was out, on account of his good
behavior. He had heen to see Jenner
and had shown Bobby's letter to him
and Jenner had cried like a baby

Capt. Frank was about "A years old,

close of hostilities. He was the

SIS they anything for the Jenners?'
came to be a familiar sound in the post
office, and the clerks listened for ii
with much amusement, but the girl
at the window came to dread it.
She was haunted by the mournful
look that came into his eyes every time
she shook her head, and tried TO con-

ended with something very like sob.
The girl at the office window was ac-
customed to hearing complaints from
people larger than Bobby, who wanted
their mail and wanted it pretty soon,
too; but none of them had ever affected
her as this one did.
She came through the door into the
outer office. and taking Bobhy's hand
asked, kindly: "Had YOU written to
someone to send you something?"
Seeing the look of sympathy on
her face, he told her all about it..

MEMORIES OF THE DAY.
THANKSGIVING Should Be More Than
"a Day of Feasting and
Merrymal king.

All over the country families have
gathered to observe and perpetuate
the annual festival of Thanks sgiving.
No holiday in the year can claim a
nobler birthright than this, none is
richer in tender memories. Other days
may touch the pride of race or fan the
fires Of patriotism; this speaks of
home, The family and the fireside.
Moreover, of all the days we cele-
brate, this alone is distinetively Amer
lean. We mark the birthday of Wash
ington, the anniversary of the declara-
tion of independence, the dates Of
epoch-making battles; but in this we
are not peculiar. Other countries OBJ
serve the birthdays of their illustrious
dead and the anniversaries of great
events in their history. All Christian
nations keep Christmas. But in this,
our Thanks giving, we have day Pc
culiarly our own.
1t was instituted more than 25o
years ago by the fathers who sought
religious liberty on the shores of Mas
sachusetts bay, and in spite of tempta-

feasting and merrymaking, it has al
ways retained much of the reverent
and thankful spirit which called it into
being. Wherever the aims and achieve
ments of the founders of this nation
are honored, the day which they set
apart 'for Thanksgiving and praise"
is still observed.
We are apt to think of the Pilgrims
and Puritans as stern and tog less
company, of noble aims, no doubt, and
dauntless courage, but so given over
to religious thought and observation
as to have neither time nor tolerance
for the lighter and pleasanter side OF
life. Let US remember, then, that this
holiday, the sweetest and tenderest
occasion in the year, comes down to us
from them: and that joy and feasting
and good cheer had with them, as they
should have with us, their surest foun-
dation in the spirit which revercntly
acknowledges the Divine gifts Of life
and health and haryests.-1outh'
