Milwaukee, Sept. 19.-At two relig-
ious gatherings in Wisconsin this
week the necessity of new and novel
methods to attract outsiders to church
and to revivals has been emphasized.
At the Methodist Episcopal conference
in Green Bay, Presiding Elder John Of
the Oshkosh district. said it seemed
almost impossible to interest older
people, and advocated concentration
of work upon children. At the Pres
byterian state meeting just closed
here, DR.. Sanderson urged the neces-
sity of advertising the church, in order
to keep it upon the move.

st. Paul, Sept. 17.-Although thresh-
ing 1t at standstill and wheat in the
shock is thoroughly soaked, railway
officials do not believe that the long
continued rains will seriously damage.
The Northwestern crop. Wheat traffic,
which was just beginning when the
big rain storms came, is at standstill
and cannot be resumed at once. What
wheat is now moving was threshed be-
fore the rains. and the supply is linn.
tied.
Railway officials have been investi-
eating conditions in the western part
of the state and North Dakota and
they believe that the farmers will yet
secure good returns from their har-
vest. .
Damage Not So Heavy.
"The rains have damaged wheat, of
course" said a Great Northern traffic
official, "but the scare reports should
be very literally discounted. Contin-
ued wet weather will bleach the grain,
discolor it, and may cause it to sprout.
Should all these things occur the farm
"ers will still be in good condition.
present conditions are an old story.
Wet weather comes and the farmers
say they are ruined. After several
weeks Of rain they resume threshing
and find that although some damage
has occurred, the wheat is not really
so badly off. All the wheat is in the
same condition ard they begin to
cheer up. Presently some one says,
This wheat isn't so bad after ALL and
since it is all the wheat there is, the
elevators take it at about the usual
price"
No Cause for Alarm.
A traffic officer o. the Northern Pa
cific said:
There is no cause for alarm. re-
member a year when we had rains
just like these for thirty days in sue
cession. Everybody said the crop was
ruined, but it wasn't. The farmers
threshed it and sold it for about the
usual price. The huge Northwestern
crop hasn't gone to the dogs just be-
cause the farmers forgot to take it out
of the wet"
State grain inspection officers look
for no general damage of consequence
and they believe that while grain from
some sections may not grade as well
as it would have prior to the rains, it
is still good wheat and will bring good
prices.

'Then, /also, the sleeping car gets less
chance to be cleaned up than the diner
The run of sleeping car is generally
longer than that of the dining car. Many
cars in the East run straight through for
thirty hours, while in the West the runs
are often of several days duration. A din
ing car being only at use in meal times,
hardly runs more than ten hours in the
East and sixteen hours in the West before
it is cleaned. A dining car is quite heavy
and to haul it increases materially the cost
of moving trains, especially the very fast
ones, which diners are generally used.
They are, therefore, switched off as soon as
they are not needed.
I'm the West, especially on the Pacific
roads, which run through miles of prairie
without a break, or, maybe, desert land
the runs are, of course, longer than in the
East, and the cost of running dining car
is, therefore, correspondingly higher. AS it
seems, however impossible to persuade a
passenger to pay more than dollar a meal
the profits from this service are NIL except
i'm that its excellence adds to the popularity

very. often for the large number of trolley

So il is small wonder that the Brooklyn

OF acquiring full knowledge of the counties

in England, who are occupied in surveying

are generally to be found in couples in the
guise of tourists. They know to a head how
many horses the Irish farmers can supply

careful study of the idiosyncracies of
leading men. Their tastes, habits, health,
friends and means are carefully noted by
the astute Teutons. who distill the honey of
information from English fields for the Ger
man hive. The principal feature In which
German secret service differs from that of
England is that the Germans coordinate

The English system is different There

Foreign Office. So many Foreign Office
agents are hostile to England and are un-

BRITAIN AND THE SPY.
How Desired Information Is Secured
by London Foreign Office.

London Express.
All the great nations require information
about other countries which is not obtaina-
BILE openly. For this reason the intelligence
departments of the great military powers
on the continent are organized a scale
of cost and efficiency undreamed of in this
constitutional country. In Russia the secret
police employ a considerable number of
agents, both male and female, who are res
ident in England Some of these paid agents,
or spies, are people well known in society.
Their duties vary from diplomatic work of
the highest delicacy to the collection of
newspaper cuttings.
One of the points attended to by the Rus
sian secret service is the record of every
English public man who speaks or writes
about Russia. On one occasion the present
writer had the opportunity of seeing the
system followed by the Russian police. Ev-
cry speech and every writing of Mr. Shaw
Lefevre-an innocent and not very formida-
BILE personage-with particulars of his birth,
parentage, means, residence. habits, tastes
and position, were all entered in a great
portfolio.
Considerable sums are spent by Russia
on secret-service agents in central Asia,
Beloochistan, Persia and In India itself. The
object of these agents is to belittle Great
Britain and belaud holy Russia. Constant
diplomatic duels take place between British
consular agents and the avoweG representa-
tives of Russia. This subterranean war of
secret agents is going on all over the world.
The German system of secret service is
conducted on much more scientific lines.
German knowledge of the United Kingdom
is more complete than that of most English
men. l was lately informed by a British
diplomatist of the highest rank that the

Judge Harrigan made up his mind TO

do this he established the rule of fining

whole administration he never departed
from this rule. Every man caught with
$50 and sent TO the workhouse for sixty
days. He had TO serve the sixty days at
hard labor, too. Harrigan would not turn
him out. There was no power that could
get him out AS a result OF the enforce

vast decrease in that section.
