Cold Weather.

We are getting more than our share
OF cold weather these days. There was
light snow Thursday night and on
Saturday evening the wind whirled to
the north and blew a brisk gale. 1t
turned cold almost instantly. The ther-
mOmeter fell 40 degrees i'm an hours
time. The lowest point up to this time
was six degrees below zero.
1t IS hard on stock and it may alsu
injure the wheat. The redeeming fea-
ture of it is that it produces an excel
lent ice crop. The Ice men are-now at
work harvesting finch ice.
A nice quiet snow fell yesterday.

The small breed of postmasters are
still bounding the Topeka Advocate.
The postmaster at Chanute notified
the Advocate that a man had refused
the paper and investigation proved
that the subscriber had paid in advance
and had not refused the paper at all.
In all candor we desire to say that few
postmasters stoop to such degradation.
In this connection we want TO say that
the postmaster in Medicine Lodge is
far above any tricks OF this kind. He
never, to our knowledge, has discrim.
mated in favor OF or against papers or
individuals. There is no excuse for a
postmaster's carrying party politics
with the discharge of his duties, be he
republican or democrat.

the least overdrawn but which may be
found In every dav life in any dunkard
community. For it is the simple and
honest beliefs of the sect called dunk
ards that has furnished the foundation
for the comedy. Everyone knows of
the quaint and lovable natures of the
upright, God fearing dunkard, and
that is a guarantee that any comedy
which bOrrOws its humor, it's pathos,
and it's plcturesqueness from the
dunkards, must be good and whole

Water Power and the Fuel Problem

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
The critical condition Of affairs as re-
CARDS the supply Of coal for the electric
lighting companies of this city, and the
varied sources of communication and per-
sonal cowfort involved in their mainte-
nance in full operation at the present mo-
ment, should emphasize very sharply the
fact that with all the resources Of water
power at command near this city there
need be no more coal used for all this pur-
pose than to keep a few watchmen and
gatekeepers warm.
There is power enough running to abso-
Lutte waste at the rapids Of Little Falls, one
mile beyond the boundary Of the District,
this very day to move all the street cars
within and about this city,
If not enough power here then go to
Great Falls and there Is enough power and
more to illuminate the whole District, and
Alexandria besides.
There is another matter worthy Of in
Guiding in the same consideration 1t Is
now acknowledged that water follows a
very common-sense course. and a universal
law that If let alone it will purify itself
This has been the case since the flood. no
doubt, but Still II is worth rediscoyery
Now, II a series of dams be constructed
along the bed of the Potomac river at and
above Great Falls, and to its source, II
need be, the question Of filter basins for our
drinking water will be settled, and each
one can be also a source OF power for many
purposes besides.
A dam constructed at Little Falls or vi
cinty would create most beautiful pool
or lake. and extending above to beyond
Glen Echo. There is no reason why an
auxiliary conduit from this dam would not
also supply all the fountains desired in the
proposed mall and lower grounds of this
city. GILBERT THOMPSON.

EvANaEL1sr1c WORK.
Theme Discussed by Prominent Mem
beers of PRESBYTERIAN Church.

SAAs S~>s
A meeting in the interests of evangelistic
work was held last evening in the Church
of the Covenant. Mr.. John H. Converse OF
Philadelphia, the chairman OF the evan
gelica1 committee Of the general assembly
of the Presbyterian Church, made an adj
dress, as did Rev. John Balloon Shaw of
New York city. Judge Stanton J. Pealle Of
this city presided.
In the course Of an earnest address Mr..
Converse spoke OF the necessity for the
churches to- extend their efforts beyond
their own walls In the way Of individual
effort.
How to reach those who do not go to
church was the theme Of an earnest ad-
dress by DR.. Shaw. We must, to a certain
our conventionality and pride. We must
surrender to that overwhelming majority
of unsaved souls and make them welcome
in our churches and in our pews. The folks
who come to church merely because 1t is the
proper thing to do make poor Christians.
they would be crowded If some stranger
were ushered into them. They do not at
tend the midweek meetings. and take alb
solutely no interest in the real church
work.
Another point that would impress upon
you is the meaning OF that Woro cnurcn.
1t Is not a mere edifice, a building, mate
rial construction, but communion, which
may move from place to place, may go into
the halls of the downtown district, into the
parks or on the doorsteps, ever following
the guidance of God.
1.-The last essential, and again the most
important essential in answering the ques-
ton of how to go about the saving of souls
Is the individual work. Start your evan
gelism with the individual"

Coal Oil and Philanthropy.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star:
Your cartoon and editorial as to the
Standard Oil Company in Thursday even
ing's issue were surely called for, but fear
will accomplish very little. The company,
as Is generally known. has been paying 4s
per cent dividends for the past two years,
and for this year 40 per cent or $45 zoo, 900,
on a capitalization Of 500 900, coo, the presi-
dent of the concern supposedly getting sJme
eighteen or twenty millions out Of the
spoils. Now, what does he do with It? Out
of gratitude to Cod he a few week; ago
gave s5OO,OOO to build a teachers hom'. and
up goes oil a cent a gallon. Now he gives
million to the Chicago University-and up
goes oil another cent. John d. jr, tells
his Sunday school class Ito keep their lights
trimmed and burning" Ny only surprise
is that he does not advise them to use oil
stoves. He probably would. were they not
of the 9TH avenue class. Surely your paper
should have enough influence to have some
action taken against these canting hypo-
critics. MORRISON HOYT.
