Actors Church Alliance.

New York, Oct. 30.-Ment,ers Of the
Church club have become affiliated with
tho Actors Church Alliance of America at
{, joint meeting in this city. Heretofore
the membership of the Alliance has in
Guided only theatrical folk and clergymen.
The members of the Church club who
pledged their support to the movement
did so after listening to the story Of the
alliance told by Rev. DR.. Walter E. Bent
ley, rector Of the church of the Holy
Scphulchre and general secretary of the
alliance. He explained for the first time
how the alliance has planned to KNOCK
OUT the immoral plays in America.
A committee of clergymen~ has been
appointed. he said, to visit the various
plays and to ascertain which are fit for
religious men and women to see and hear
and for the children to know about. That
committee, he said, includes several Of
the foremost clergymen in New York.
The information collected by those men
will be sent to the pastors Of churches
in every city in the country and those men
with sympa thetic. influential members Of
their congregations. will work quietly
among the people and induce them not to
patronize the plays when they come to
town. similar course will be pursued
with plays that are found worthy and ele-
waiting. the ministers and laymen asking
their friends to attend. It is hoped, he
said, that in a few~years a complete re-
form Of the stage in America. may be
brought about. DR.. Bentley declared that
the stage is means by which many exist
ing evils might be remedied but he de-
clared it to be under the present conditions

Washington, Oct 30.--The report made

Professor jerks visited those Dependent
cies at the instance Of the bureau Of
insular affairs to make a study Of meth

making recommendations for the Philip
pines.
Professor jerks finds that in no coun-
try visited has much been done looking
to the establishment Of self government.
Nowhere In the dependencies Of England

been granted, he says, SO great measure
of selfgovernment as the United States
has already given to the Fiipinos. Pro-
lessor jerks. with respect to a currency
system for the Philippines, inclines to the
recommendation Of fixed rate Of ex-
change with gold between the islands and
the United States. This is in accord with
the suggestion Of the Philippine commits
sion.
He recommends that the employers of
labor be permitted to introduce Chinese
labor into the Philippines under contract,
not exceeding three years in each indi-
vidual instance.
The longest chapter In the book that

BUT RUINS OF HUTS
Archibald Cameron Punctures the
Story of the Discovery Of
! Boundary Monuments.
What Appeared to Be Marking
: Stones Are Only Portions of
Indian Trading Houses.

Victoria. B. c., Oct 30.-Archibald Cam
sron. road superintendent who has lust
arrived here from Porcupine, says the
line OF boundary monuments alleged to
nave been discovered and stated to be the
demarcation Of Alaskan boundary. are the
ruins of stone huts built by the Indians
or the interior, where they met those Of
the coast on a neutral ground about sixty
eight miles from tidewater and about ten
miles beyond the timber line.
He describes the origin of the huts as
follows:
The Indians OF the coast and those of
the interior were jealous Of each other. in
fact We're hereditary foes and it was after
generations of bitter feud that armed
truce was established between them. Be-
Tore the arrangement Of this aboriginal
modus vivendi the interior or Stick In

Indians holding all the territory which lies
between the sea and the mountains as
their particular reserve.
When the Russians established trading
posts on the coast of Alaska the Chilas
sent ENJOYS to the Sticks and proposed
peace terms so that their furs could be
exchanged. truce was made by which
the Sticks were allowed to come across
the divide laden with furs to d certain
point where the Chilas met them with a
stock Of goods from the storehouses Of
the Russians and there at stated times Of
the year great Indian fair was held.
A meeting place was outside Of the
timber line and as no wood was avalla BILE
the Indians built stone huts of the most
primitive construction and these huts were
used in common year after year by the
traders. These were the o-called monu-

TROOPS ARE UNPOPULAR
They Are Hooted by the Pittsburg
Workmen and Missiles Are
Thrown at Them.

Pittsburg, Oct. 30.-The return of the
Fourteenth regiment Of the state national
guard from the anthracite coal regions
was attended by sensational incidents.
The soldiers marched down Fifth ave-
nue. behind their reginental band, but in
stead of getting cheers as reward Tor
the faithful performance Of their Obliga-
lions, they were hooted by the crowds.
At the corner of Fifth avenue and
Wood street, where the twentyfour story
building Of the Farmers Deposit bank
Is being erected, the soldiers were at
tackled by workmen, who threw bolts and
blocks Of wood and even tools at them
from the twenty-second story. The Gym
balls were knocked out Of the hands Of the
man carrying the bass drum.
When the officers realized that the mis-
siles were aimed at the soldiers a line was
quickly formed on the opposite pavement.
an officer gave the command to load, but
the commanding officer countermanded
the order and no shots were fired.
One captain swung his company around
to the right. taking it to the sidewalk,
where the shed built by the contractor,
furnished protection for his men.
The captain who followed had sterner
stuff in him. Hating his company di-
rectly in front Of the building. he glanced
at the protected assailants and then
shouted in a loud tone. Forward,
march, His company was not molested.
The captain Of the next company had a
narrow escape. A large saw thrown from
the building almost hit his head.
Major Fowler resented the insults that
bystanders were heaping upon his men.
and. drawing his sword. tried to give one
of the tormenters a broadside blow, but
the man jumped aside and the sword
struck the curb. Action may be taken
against the workmen.

miners work and live, and how the prod

B0THA ON HIS MISSION
He Says That the Beers in Europe
Have Failed to Get Much
.. 8 ,
). Help.

New York. Oct. So.-General Botha of
the Boer commission now In Europe trying
to raise funds for the redemption OF the
ruined farming districts Of South Africa,
has cabled to the World at length on the
results Of the general mission up to date.
The article says in part:
Our words have been misconstrued, our
actions have been assigned the wrong mo-
tives and our very aims have been mistated
and condemned.
1.-The British people have no reason to
doubt our sincerity. We called on our peo-
pie to come in and lay down their arms.
How many million pounds were saved to
the British nation by that surrender 1t is
needless now to reckon up. Having ac-
cepted the terms Lord Kitchener was au-
thorized to offer we never sought to
have them modified. What we sought for
was not a modification of the terms of the
peace treaty. but the immediate help Of
which our people are In sore need
Having come to plead cause which
should speak eloquently enough for itself,
we are solely disappointed by the results
At least we have had every reason to
consider that we have failed In our err
rand.
1t Is assumed that we did not take
kindly to a loan. That supposition was
gratuitous. AS to the shape in which ma
terial help should be given we had neither
VIC ll6ht Hol the VIII 10 PICK ana Choose
But. having seen no prospect of receiving
such help we appealed in urgent need
to all the nations of the world.
THAT course has been sharply criti-
clZed. So far as we can see all our ap-
peals to foreigners implied was that our
people were In sore need of instant relief
and that we were willing to undergo the
humiliation of pleading for it,
memories Of help withheld despite
pressing need and urgent appeal for just
ice or generosity, are certain to live long,
die hard and in4ict damage out of all
proportion to their seeming Importance"

OF NATIONAL CONCERN
The Existence of Bubonic Plague in
San Francisco-The Disease
Is Spreading.

New Haven, Conn, Oct. 3o.-That the
plague exists in San Francisco to an
alarming extent and that the situation is
matter Of grave national concern, is the
surprise sprung at the convention Of
American health officers.
Professor F. c. Robinson Of Bowdoin
college, Brunswick, Me-, presented to the
conference a Voluminous array of figures
to show that while the authorities of San
Francisco were denying the existence Of
bubOnic plague, new cases were develop
ing, and that much was done to hamper
the health officers in preventing the
spread Of the plague. The conference
passed the following:
That the national conference Of state and pro-
vincial boards of health of North America views
with adherence the irretrievable disgrace Of the
present state board Of health of California and
pronounce the plague situation in California as
a matter of grave national concern.
That the national conference of state and pro.
vincial boards of health OF North America does
hereby advise the various state boards of health
of the United States to consider the propriety of
calling upon the surgeon general of the hospital
service to arrange at the earliest possible date v
joint conference for the purpose of Graduating
the plague from the United States.
It was voted to send copy OF the res
oution to Governor Henry T. Gage Of
California.

Men glory in raising great and mag
nificent structures, and find a secret
pleasure to see sets of their own plant
ing grow up and flourish; but surely it
is a great and more glorious work to
build up a man, to see a youth of our
own planting, from the small begin
nings and advantages we have given
him, to grow up into a considerable
fortune to take root in the world, and
to shoot up to such a height, and
spread his branches so wide, that we
who first planted him may ourselves
find comfort and shelter under his
shadow.-Archbishop Tillotson.
No translation our own country ever
yet produced hath come up to that of
the Old and New Testament; and I am
persuaded that the translators of the
Bible were masters of an English
style, much filter for that work, than
any we see in present writings;
the which is owing to the simplicity
that runs through the whole.

BIRD FRIENDS.

BIRD FRIENDS.
We have already quoted quite extern
sively from Will T. Hale's articles on
birds written recently for the Nash
vile Christian Advocate. Of thrushes
he says:
The thrush family is large, and all
it's members are good singers. There
is the robin-"Robin Redbreast"-
which sings in the North, and is seen
here in passing back and forth in its
migrations; the mocking bird; the
wood thrush; the brown thrush; and
the catbird.
THE WOOD THRUSH.
This is not a well-knOwn bird, for
he is oftener heard than seen. He
usually sings from the lower limbs
of trees, under the cover of the thick
foliage. His song is not varied, like
that of the hooking bird, for he scorns
limitations; he is original or nothing.
He sings best after sunset or early
in the morning, and he sings whether
it rains or shines.
The wood thrush feeds upon snails,
worms and berries, and is one of the
latest to come from the far South in
spring.
The nests of wood thrushes are built
on horizontal limbs near the ground;
you may see them often over a path
in the woods. The nest is lined with
mud, and the eggs, pale blue, are four
or five in number.
Description: If while passing
through the woods you hear a sweet
little song, and note that the songster
has upper parts of a rich brown, with
white breast and throat upon which
are scattered heartshaped spots of
brown, a golden yellow beak and white
rings around his eyes-you may I'M
derstand that you are listening to the
wood thrush.
THE BROWN THRUSH
The brown trush is to be found
throughout the United States in sum
mer. He arrives from the South in
April, coming in small focks at night.
The notes are somewhat like those of
the hooking bird, but lower and less
varied. When singing, his head is
thrown back, and his tail hangs
straight down. He stands next to the
hooking bird as a singer, in the esti-
nation of many, though for certain
reasons I place the catbird in this po-
sition.
Wood thrushes begin to build in
April or May, selecting a low bush.
The nest is made of sticks, lined with
fine roots or bark. The eggs are of a
pale green color. They will attack
cats or snakes in defense of their
young.
Description: The brown thrush is
about eleven inches long; his head,
back, tail, and wings are reddish
brown; his breast and throat creamy,
with arrow-shaped brown spots.> Two
narrow bars of white run across each
wing; the beak is considerably curved
and slender; and the long tail is
rounded at the end.
