IN MEMORY OF LINCOLN.
American Missionary Association
Appears Rather to Be Seeking to
GIOrify Its own Work.

New York, Jan 5.-The American
Missionary Association has issued an
appeal to the Congregational churches
of the country to observe Sunday, Feb.
8, as a memorial of Abraham Lincoln,
whose birthday is Feb. II. The churches
and especially their Sabbath schools
and Endeavor societies are urged to
emphasize Christian patriotism.
abraham Lincoln" says this appeal.
''was born in the mountains of the
South where schools and churches have
been established by this association.
The negroes have grown into great
multitude of more than eight millions,
among whom this association has
planted it's institutions and missions.
Through it's missionaries the colored
people are being trained in shop, on
the farm in the school and church and
home, for safe citizenship and Chris
tian responsibility. President Lincoln
urged the kind and Christian treatment
of the Indians. The negro and Indian
departments of missionary work car
ried on by this association are there
fore naturally suggested by his name"

CHINA'S CAPITAL is GAUDY.
Crimson in Preparation for the
Courts Return.

The City Scene of Yellow and
Crimson in Prepa ration for the
Courts Return.
Pekin, Jan. 5.--The Chinese capital.
on the eve of the courts return, pre-
sents an animated and gaudy scene not
before equaled in it's history.
All the palaces, pagodas and temples
have been repaired and painted to form
a glittering spectacle. The roofs of
these buildings viewed from the city
walls are patches of shining yellow
tiles and brick. The walls about the
Imperial City are a vivid crimson, and
the gates have been repaired and
gilded.
On the towers above the Chen-Men
gate stands a gorgeous structure of
wood, cloth and paper, with a yellow
painted dragon entwined about the
massive cloth pillars. Hundreds of
Chinese officials clad in furs and en-
broidered silks ride about the streets
of Pekin and parties of foreign sol
diers, bent upon sightseeing, roam
everywhere. Thousands of new SOL
diers from the province of Shang- Tung,
who are finely uniformed and equipped
with modern weapons, entered Pekin
this morning and marched through Lee
cation street.
The ministers of the foreign Powers
have received notices from the Chi
nese foreign Office that all the streets
upon which the Chinese court Will pass
will be closed Monday and Tuesday.
Two buildings on the principal streets
of the line of procession have been
provided from which the members OF
the legations will be permitted to wit
ness the re-entry of the court. This
lis an unprecedented concession. The
foreign ministers have decided in con-
sideration of recent events not to wit
ness the re-entry of the court. This
decision is strengthened by the fact
that the majority of the ministers
have not yet presented the credentials.
Chinese officials have strongly pro-
tested to Sir Ernst Santow, the British
minister, against British officers being
in charge all the way from Pao Ting
Flu to Pekin of the trains upon which
the Chinese court will travel. They
said that if foreign officials were con-
spicuous at Teng III Junction. the court
would prefer to leave the railroad and
take aonther route. Acting upon this
protest, the British minister has re-
quested the officers to refrain from
making the display conspicuous and
this request will be complied with. Ne
gotiations concerning the Manchurian
treaty await the arrival of the court.
Paul Lessar, the Russian minister to
China, when discussing the question
of the railroads with the Chinese pleni-
potentiaries, insisted that under no
circumstances would Russia consent
that other Powers have a hand in the
construction and operation of railroads
in Manchuria without first obtaining
Russian permission. /.

COLLISION NEAR ATLANTA.
Engineer, Fireman and FIagman
Killed and Two Trainmen Injured
on Southern Railway.

Engineer, Fireman and FIagman
Killed and Two Trainmen Injured
on Southern Railway.
Atlanta, Jan. 5.-As the result of a
head-on collision between two freight
trains of the Southern Railway early
this morning, near Rex, Ga, fourteen
miles from this city, three of the trains
crews were killed and a number of
freight cars destroyed by fire. The
dead:
Engineer c. C. Wallace, Atlanta,
Flagman u. H. Harris, Jacks, Ga.
Fireman Prather.
Engineer Whatley and Fireman
Hicks of this city were slightly in
jured.
The two trains met on a sharp curve
the derailed cars catching fire. The
collision, it is said, was caused by a
disregarding of signals by the crew of
one of the two trains.
The body of Fireman ]. B. Prater
was brought to the city from Rex to-
night. 1t was so badly charred that
identification would have been impos-
sible. had it not been known that Pra-
ter had lost half of the big toe on his
right foot in a former accident. The
body was identified fully by this fact.
None of the other bodies had been
taken from the debris up to tonight.
Fireman Prater was 33 years old. His
home is at Gainesville. There were
several carloads of lard and other mer-
chandise set on fire, after being piled
up near the engine, and this created
such mass of debris that it was diff
cult to get at the bodies.

EVERETT-MooRE SYNDICATE.
Bankers Committee Not Turning
Loose Any Good Things.

Cleveland, o., Jan. 5.-The Bankers
Committee of Seven, temporarily in
charge of the affairs of the Everett
Moore Syndicate, will resume it's ses-
sions tomorrow OF the future Chair
man Newcomb says:
Between taking matters up with in
dividual creditors, the work Of sitting
the condition of the different properties
will continue. We are rapidly finding
how much indebtedness, if any, there
is on the different traction companies,
and if members of the syndicate have
individual obligations, and if so, what
the nature of them is. This work will
probably take up something like two
weeks.
"On Saturday night we concluded our
investigation of the affairs of the De-
troit United Railways. This property
is in splendid shape and is pronounced
unqualifiedly by the committee as be-
ing a magnificent investment.
ANY statement of the amount of
money over liabilities that may have
been reported was not official, and did
not have the sanction OF the commit
tee. No such statement will or can
be given out for some time. Before the
committee of seven took charge of the
syndicate affairs, a cursory examina-
ton showed that from $2.500,000 to s3.-
900, 600 could be reasonably expected in
equities after all obligations have been
easily Cancelled. But this largely de-
pends on the keeping up Of market
prices. 1t is for this extension of time
is asked and which we now believe
will certainly be accomplished.
"Men who are looking for great
bargains in bonds will be doomed to
disappointment. There is no disposl
ton to sell syndicate securities on the
part of banks. and we do not expect
any to be thrown upon the market"

WANTS ENDOWMENT.
New Bishop of Philippines VIII APP
peal for 100000.

Boston. Mass, Jan. 5.-The an
nouncement was made to-day by Right
Rev. Chas. II. Brent, DID,, formerly
rector of st. Stephens Church, this
city. who was consecrated bishop Of
the Philippine Islands last month by
the Episcopal Church, that he had de-
cided to issue an appeal TO the church
in the United States for a fund of $780,
900. with which to endow the new jur-
isdiction.
1t is proposed to use the income from
an endowment fund for the mainte-
nance of a staff Of assistants, which
the bishop hopes to take with him
when he leaves early in the spring for
Manila.
Bishop Brent said that the situation
in the Philippine Islands is the most
difficult which the Episcopal Church
has to meet the world over, due to the
fact that the Roman Catholic Church
as long held sway.

"A REVOLT AGAINST CRIMINALS.
Armed Citizens of Denver Will Pm
troll the Streets of the City.

Denver, Col, Jan. Sat a mass
meeting Of citizens here to-day Com
mittee of Safety was organized as
protection against the criminals with
which the city has been infested for
the past year or more. The streets
will be patrolled at night by armed citi-
zens, and any person who may fail to
give a satisfactory reason for being
in the streets will be arrested. This
action has been made necessary in the
opinion of the citizens by criminal as
saults on women, hold-ups and rob-
berries, which have been of almost daily
occurrence. Magistrates will be urged
to impose the severest penalties al
lowed by law, to check the prevalence
of these crimes.
The action of to-day was melted by
the murder of 14-year- r-old Harold Frid-
born. and an assault on his sister on

dragoman of the legation, who left Sa-
lonica for the interior the latter part

Paris Paper Opposes Reported Move
for Gas Concession.

Paris, Jan. 5.-La Liberte has pub
lished a report to the effect that the
Rockefellers intend to apply for a con-
cession TO supply gas to the city Of
Paris. The paper vigorously opposes
this scheme, and says it would be an
act of mental alteration TO accept
such proposition, which would be dis
astrous to national production and a
powerful help to the designs of the
Amricans who wish, not only to expel
foreign industry from their own coun-
try, but who seek to supplant foreign
ers on their own ground
La Liberte says the RockefeIlers
would not use a ton of French coal,
and that the granting of this conces-
sion to them would be a mighty wea-
pom for the realization of the economic
schemes of American Imperialism in
Europe.

months every two or three years and
give patients a chance to miss him
and then come back and resume prac-

swarms. provided, of course, he has

geon. ..... .....,
Here is physician living in a city
of $1,000 Inhabitants, with a practice
Of $4,000 a year, Of which he collects

TONERS in my town." he says, "are two
young men who spent year each in
Vienna and Paris. apparently studying
the latest methods and cures. All that
they know they learned right in New
York, but the mere fact of their having
taken a course or two in Europe, or
having pretended to, has given them
a vogue which no one who has never
