COMING BAPTIST CONVENTION.

The Baptists of the North will meet
in convention at st. Paul, next
Week.
Baptists of the whole country have
invested in educational interests S45, :
900, 900. The Missionary Union usual
ly spends about 1914, 600 annually.
The Publication Society has two de-
partments, one its business, the other
it's missionary. From the one it
receives annually $3.50, 900 and from
the other $175, 000 The Home Mission
Society has an income of about 800, :
$2 200, 600 year. All of it comes ex-
olusively from Baptists North. The
Education Society represents Baptist
South as well as North, and it often
adds to endowment funds of Baptist
educational institutions as much as
$780, 900 in single years.
There are three principal bodies of
Baptists in the United States. These
are the white Baptists North, the
white Baptists South, and the South
ern Negro Baptists. The largest
of these bodies is the white Baptists
South. In North Carolina the Baptists
number $40, 900, Alabama 800, 900, Texas
33S, 900, Virginia 359, 900 and Georgia
406.
To illustrate the standstill condi-
tion of Baptists in principal states,
the fact is to be noted that the men,
hership in New York, city and state,
fell off last year 306, and in Michi-
gan, 523. In the following named
states the gains were: Indiana, 150;
Iowa, S64; Illinois, 81; Connecticut,
276; Missouri, ,407; Ohio, / S22; Mas
sachusetts, 233. and Pennsylvania,
3,C70. Gains i'll the large Baptist
memberships of the South do not to-
tai up to large sums, so that there was
an actual loss in Baptist .membership
of the whole country last year of
about 12.C00. White Baptists of the
North managed to gain a total last
year of not quite 4, 900 and white Bap-
lists South made gain of 81 900 but
these gains small as they are, were
offset by losses among colored Bap.
lists.
President Patton announced at the
recent alumni dinner that Princeton
University needed at least 81, 900, 900,
in order that its continued develop
ment might be assured. With all due
respect to the advantages of educa-
tion, it is respectfully submitted that
it is quite possible that this matter
of contributing to colleges, in order to
make show of philanthropy, is being
carried just little beyond the limits
dictated by the principles of ordinary
common sense and the needs of the
present day. There are many insti-
tutions, and there are many individ-
uals and families requiring more than
Princeton or any other college the
benefits of gift the size of which is
referred to aud petitioned for by
President Patton. Times, Elizabeth.

claiming that the military authorities there
do not recognize his authority in refusing
to receive writs or habeas corpus
Some months ago many OF the leading
of1cials of the province were arrested be-
cause they rendered a banquet TO an in

that they had also contributed funds TO the
insurgent cause. AT that time General
George w. DAVIS. commanding at Zambo-

the province be transferred from civil to
military control. The military authorities
in Misamis refused to allow the prisoners
to be represented by lawyer sent by the
civil commission from Manila for that pur-
pose. claiming the arrested ofhcials to be
prisoners OF war Later General Chaffee
instructed General Davis TO release the
prisoners in question and notified the civil
authorities when and where they could ar

PATTERSON, N. j.. Feb. "A great hre
swept through Paterson today and in It's
desolate wake are the embers and ashes
OF property valued In the preliminary esti-
mate at $4,000, 900.
IL burned its way through the business
section of the city and claimed as its own
a majority of the finer structures devoted
10 commercial, civic, educational and relig-
ious use as well as scores OF houses.
There was but small tribute Of life and
injury to the connagration, but hundreds
were left homeless and thousands without
employment
relief movement for the care OF those
unsheltered and unprovided for has already
been organized and Mayor John Hinchlfe'
said tonight that Paterson would be able
to care for her own without appealing to
the charity Of other communities and

OF the place are safe and the community
temporarily dazed by the calamity. has al

Rages All Day.
The fire came at midnight and was only
checked after a desperate fight that lasted
until late in the afternoon. Every city
and town within reach OF Paterson sent
fremen end apparatus to the relief Of the
threatened city and It took the united eff
forts of all TO win the battle. A northeast
gale gave the con1agratlon its impetus ana
carried its burning brands to klndie the
blaze afresh at other points. The hremen
made stand after, stand before the wall of
