Miss ROosevelt's Abandoned Trip.

A letter from Berlin just received in
Washington contains some interesting
gossip about Miss RooseVelt's proposed
visit to the German capital. which loses
none of its interest because her trip has
been abandoned. The letter says:
Among the questions raised regard
ing her entertainment the most trouble
some were those of residence and prece-
dence.
Count Won Eulenburg. the chief
court marshal, had innumerable con-
situations with the kaiser as to how she
should be received. most of which only
resulted in seemingly eutangling the
young lady's social status to such an eX
tent that precedent could not cover it.
and special regulations would need to
be enacted in her case says the Wash
ington Post
THE regulations concerning rank
and order of presidency at the Prus-
sian court distinguish between sixty
six classes of human bellies, and where
Miss Roosevelt could come in, without
disturbing some naughty German
dame, was a kilgly problem.
THE royal regulations say foreign
ers shall be treated in accordance with

Wilksharre Pa. June 23.--President
John Mitchell OF the United Mine
Workers of America Sunday issued an
address 10 the public It is partly a re-
ply to the letter OF the operators de-
clinfng To accede to the demands OF the
union. which were published about ten
days ago,
Briefly summarized the address says
that every possible means was resort
ed to In the effect to prevent the
strike; claims that living has increased
to the point where the miner was COM
PEELED to ask for higher wages; denies
the allegation of the operators that
the productive capacity of the mine
workers has fallen off. but on the other
hand has increased; quotes official fig
ures to substantiate the contention
that the employers can pay higher
wages without increasing the cost of
coal to the consumer; asserts that the
coal carrying railroads which control
about SIS per cent of the monies absorb
the profits OF their coal companies by
charging exhorbitant freight rates:
claims that a ton at the mines means
anywhere from 2740 to $3.50 pounds I'm
stead OF 224o. and says that more men
are killed and injured in the anthra-
cite mines of Pennsylvania annually
than were killed during the Spanish
American war.
The address says that In event the
union is crushed. which 1t adds Is not
likely, a new organization would rise
from it's ruins. 1t concludes with an
appeal for arbitration of all questions
IA dispute.

CHURCH BUILT IN 1884.
These four families are mentioned as
the pioneers, but there were many others
OF equal merit. The date of the building
of Fork church is identical with that OF
the historic courthouse of Hanover coun-
ty, built in 1884. The brick of which it
is made are said to have come from Eng
land as ballast in the ships that loaded
tobacco at Colonel Byrds landing at
MISSIONER. The photograph shows the ar
chiteCture to be Of a plain design, but the
bricks have 4 peculiar glaze on them and
they are laid in such a way that the eff
feet IS most church-like and pleasing.
The roof is covered with slate, with wide.
projecting ga es, and the deep, high win
dows show the great thickness of the
walls The interior of the building IS
plain and is p1astered and WhiteWashed.
In the center of the circular chancel is
the old fashioned pulpit, about seven feet
high, With long flight of steps on either
side On the left is the organ, and on
the right, hanging on the wall, are three
tablets III memory OF Dr. Robert Nelson,
Colonel William Nelson. and Major John
Page, who are buried in the family sec
ton in the church yard.
A sketch by Earnest Abbott, of Saint
Martins parish, and its rector, Rev. S.
S. Hepburn, appeared in the Outlook in
December, 1901 DR.. Thomas Nelson
Pages sketch, Gan Old Virginia Sunday
came out in Scribner's last year, and de-
scribed, in Mr.. Pages innitable way, the
manner Of attending divine service at
Fork church when he was a boy at Oak
lard.
This old building is the same as it was
16s wears ago, despite the fact that con-
dit.ons have changed SO much. When It
was erected the center of population and
wealth of the country was on the banks
of the James river; now it is far beyond
the Ohio Many of the men and families
Who grew up here have gone forth in
search of the great prizes to be won on
the prairies of the great West" or in
the mines and metropolitan centers of
trlde. 1t is gratifying to note that this

mark. the progress of civilization In the
