Church Trust Fund.

The board of trustees of the NJ. E.
church, South, met in Nashville last
week for the purpose of choosing an
agent to raise a trust fund of $5,-
100000 for the help and support of
superanuated preachers, and the
widows and orphans Of deceased
preachers of the denomination. The
last general conference authorized
the creation of this fund, and it was
provided that none of the interest
should be used until the principal
reaches 100000, when rs per cent.
becomes payables to the benefciaries
and the remaining rs per cent. is to
be added to the principal until the
fund reaches $5,OOO,0OO. All of the
interest then becomes payable to the
beneficiaries. All loans will be made
upon improved realty, and the COM
mittee is not allowed to lend more
than 40 per cent. of the value of the
property. The funds will be loaned
from and the interest will be paid in
Nashville. Rev. A. F. Watkins of
Brookhayen, Miss, was elected agent
to collect the fund.

AN UNEXPECTED SITUATION.
National Guardsmen In the West
Virginia Coal Fields Fra
ternize With the Strikers.

>Parkersburg, w. Va, Sept. IAN
unexpected situation has resulted
from the ordering out of the national
guard to preserve order in the coal
fields. The soldiers, whose sym
Pathies were all with the strikers
from the first, have used their infiu-
ence with the men who are at work
and have persuaded so many of them
to join in the strike that the detach-
ment stationed at Rush Run had to
be recalled and sent to another point
to keep it from emptying the mine.
Hundreds of families are sleeping
under the skies. 1t is estimated that
over a thousand families have been
eyicted in the New River valley and
most of them had no place to go.
Some had friends and secured shell
ter, but the majority are homeless,
without even so much as tent to
shelter them, and there is talk of a
subscription to buy tents for them.
Food is scarce with them and the
condition of the men is pitiable in the
extreme. Some of the soldiers have
even shared their food, provided by
the state, with the families of the
men who are in the strike and hun
grV.

A CUBAN PRISON DELIVERY.
1t is Contemplated By Resolutions
Adopted By Both Branches of
the Cuban Congress.

New York, Sept. Both branches
of the Cuban congress have passed
resolutions calling for the release of
all convicts now confined on the is
land of Cuba who fought in the Gu
ban army, says a Havana dispatch to
the Tribune. The resolution proposes
to be general and irrespective of the
crime that the eX-soldier is guilty of.
The proposition met with some oppo-
sition by some of the more conserva-
tive members of the congress, but the
revolutionary members succeeded in
getting it through. The two branches
of congress have appointed a commit
tee, which is to wait on President
Palma asking him to take the action
desired.
The resolution provides that all of
the convicts be released on October
10.

a great throng of workingmen passed
in review through the downtown
streets. A novel feature of this pa
rade was a contribution of money
for the striking anthracite miners
thrown into a number of outstreched
American flags borne along the route
by several of the unions. In the af-
ternoon picnics were held at many of
the adjacent parks, where addresses
on labor questions were made by

Killed His Sweetheart.

Miss Maud Thompson was killed
last week by James Greer, near the
young ladies home, in Henderson
county. Greer was at the girls
house and tried to get her to go
away with him, which she refused to
do. He told her he was coming back
IN August, and if she did not go
with him then he would kill her.
On the day set for Greer to come
back he accosted Miss Maud and her
mother as they we're returning from
a neighboring family. He came out
of a gully and overlook the two
women, asking of the elder, ''Have
YOU got anything againt me?" She
answered NO." and Maud spoke up
and said, "None of us have anything
against YOU" Greer then said,
"Miss Maud, | have a word for you,"
and, stepping in between Maud and
her mother, said something in a low
tone which the mother did not hear,
threw one arm around Maud's neck,
and shot her twice with a pistol.
The girl lived only a short time.
Greer made his escape.

What the Annual Report of the
Civil Service Commission
Will Show.
THE NEW MAINE NOT UP TO CONTRACT.
Status of the Bill Proposing q Gem
era1 Increase of Pensions-Evi-
dence AccumuIates as to the Evil
Effects of the Abolition of the
Army Canteen.

Washington, Sept. 1.-The annual
report of the civil service commits
sion, now nearing completion, will
show that during the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1902, total of 47,075 per-
sons were examined. Of these 21,-
OPS were examined for the depart
mental service, which includes all the
classified offices both here and else
where except the postal, customs, in
ternal revenue and government print
ing services.
The Philippine service and the Dis
trict of Columbia are not subject to
the civil service commission. About
sixty-nine per cent, or 33,739 of those
taking examinations passed and A.
959 failed. Compared with the year
previous, this represented an increase
of 2,112 in the number of persons ex-
amined, a decrease of 1,29s in the
number who passed and an increase
of 3,410 in the number who failed.
From the eligible lists 9,870 ap-
pointments were made during the
year. Veterans of the army and navy
were given appointments to the num-
ber of 45. The average age of these
preference appOintees was less than
so years. 1t shows that 131 persons
were reinstated because of preference
shown veterans of the Spanish-Amer-
lean war.
The report will show that in the
entire executive service of the gov
ernment there are, in round numbers,
235, 900 places, of which number about
121 900 are classified. Of the 114.O00
remaining unclassifed, 72,49s are
those of fourth-class postmasters.

PENSIONS NOT YET RAISED.
Status of the Bill Proposing n Gem
eraI Increase of Pensions.


Washington, Sept. 1.-The pension
bureau has received several thousand
letters from old soldiers who seek in
formation regarding a bill which
passed the senate and house at the
late session of congress, increasing
the pensions of all Union soldiers
who served one year or more to $12
a month, regardless of disabilities.
This measure also increases the
pensions of those who have lost limbs
and suffered other disabilities.
The measure in question did not
become a law, as there was disa-
greement between the house and SEN
ate over the proposition to increase
the allowance of all pensioners under
the general dependent law to s12 a
month.
The senate declined to agree to the
increase, and the measure is now in
conIerence-at least, it will be when
congress reassembles.
AS the next session will be a con-
tinuation of the congress which ad-
journed this summer, it will not be
necessary to put the bill through the
two houses again, and all that is nee
essary to enact it will be for the con-
ferees to reach an agreement, which
would be ratified by both houses and
receive the presidents approval.
