piucticeu Dy an our churches. DO you
know why the average Christian
church is having such hard work TO
get along financially? At the end of
the year few rich men have to put
their hands in their pockets and make
up the heavy deficit. 1t is because
these churches in looking after the
temporal life of their members instead
of the spiritual are not doing their
duty. The best way To get full
church treasury is not, ms some people
suppose, TO have Il bazaar or an oyster
supper, or an evenings entertainment
of Mrs. Jarlry'S waNworkS. or Il con-
cert. The true way To get Il fun
church treasury is to have Il full pray
er meeting. If the rich men of II
church, the leading men officially.
would set the right example to the av-
orage church members and come to the
weekday meetings and take n Sunday
school class and practice prayer in
public rs well as in privalo thcn there
would be no difficulty in meeting the
financial obligations of the boards of
trustees If we, the members of Il
church, honestly and faithfully do the
work of our church in spiritual way
God will see to it that we shall be able
TO easily carry its financial burdens in
"a temporal way.
The Heavenly Father offers rest al
so in reference to the salvation of our
children and loved ones. Nearly every
healthy normal man has two ambi-
tions. The one is to live long. If

would on earth for n little while at

The second ambition which nearly
every healthy, normal man has is not
only to live long in an earthly sense,
but some day to own large home, in
which he can gather all his children
and grandchildren and friends and
loved ones about him. And IL a man
longs to have an earthly home, where
he can collect his loved ones, how much
more must the Christian long that in
his heavenly home he may be able to
collect all his dear ones. his children
and brothers and sisters and parents
and friends-thOse who are bound to
him by ties Of love as we'll as Of blood.

ExcURsIoNIsTs KILLED.
Trndn Runs Into Crowd Of Merry
makers at Detroit and Many Are
Killed aud Injured.

Detroit mich, May A day of
merrymaking and celebration by 1900
Polish excursionists from Toledo was
brought TO close by a frightful catas-
Etrophe at the corner of Garfield and De-
tquinder streets at $3.50 o'clock Sunday
evening, in which at least eight OF the
Fexcursionists were killed. The excur-
sion was given by the Polish Lapcers
of Toledo over the Lake Shore railroad.
The excursionists left the train at the
corner Of Garfield and Dequnder
streets in the morning and were met
by number of local Poles and Polish
societies, who escorted the visitors TO
st. Josephat's church. An entertain
ment was held later at Harmonic bal.
About eight o'clock the visitors began
10 gather again at the corner of Can
field and Dequinder streets to take
their train back 10 Toledo. Both the
Lake Shore and Grand Trunk tracks
run out from the Brush street station
on Dequinder street. Four policemen
stood at the corner of Garfield and en-
deavored 10 keep the excursionists
from crowding through the gates onto
the tracks. Despite their efforts hum
dreds crawled under or over the gates
and walked down the dark tracks to
await the arrival of their train, which
could be seen coming slowly up from
the station.
Probably 1000 persons were scat
tered along the tracks for two blocks
waiting to board the Lake Shore excur-
sion train and secure seats. 1t was
only a few blocks down the track
creeping carefully along. Suddenly
from out of the darkness came the
Grand Trunk, Chicago and New York
express. known as the Pan-American
flyer. 1t plowed through the mass OF
people, throwing them TO both sides
of the track bruised and manned, and
grinding number Of them under the
wheels.
Patrolman Fred Schultz, John Synda,
prominent local Pole, and numbers OF
others who were at the crossing assert
that the flyers whistle was not blown
nor was the bell rung.

three more were added by consent

reached by the coroner resulted In
the freeing OF Father Walser from con-

The witnesses examined included po-

The week ending May was unsea-
sonably cool over much the greater
part pf. the couptyy.. the minimum tenn
perafures on April 30 and May 1 and
2 being the lowest recorded in the last
week of April and the first week of
May for the past 80 years at nearly
all weather bureau stations from the
central and west gulf coasts TO the
upper Missouri valley, and also at a
number Of stations in the central Mis-
slssippi and Ohio valleys, lake region
and New England. Generally light
rainfall, or absence of rain, mas been
favorable for farming operations. but
the unseasonably low temperatures
have checked the growth Of all vegeta-
tion and heavy frosts and freezes have
eausedmuch damage. Drought has been
relieved over southeastern Texas and
over limited areas in the central gulf
states. but continues over the greater
part of the last mentioned districts
and in northern Texas and rain is
needed in Florida Notwithstanding
the decidedly cool weather during the
latter part OF the week. the tempera-
ture in New England and portions OF
the middle Atlantic states and lake re-
gion averaged above the normal. Rain
is generally needed on the Pacific
coast.
The early planted corn was extern
sively killed by the freeze during the
latter part OF the week in Missouri,
Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, and the
crop has suffered from cold weather
throughout the southern states.
Preparations for planting have pro-
gressed favorably in the Ohio valley
and middle Atlantic states, but little
progress has been made in the upper
Missouri valley and lake region. The
present season to date has been very
unfavorable for corn, planting being
greatly delayed.
Winter wheat appears 10 have es-
capped material injury during the re-
cent freeze over the western portion
Of the winter wheat belt and the gem
eral outlook for this crop continues
very promising, although slight de-
terioration is indicated in portions OF
the central Mississippi and Ohio val
legs. On the Pacific coast the outlook
is less favorable. especially in Cali
fornia.
Very little seeding Of spring wheat
could be done over the northern por-
tion Of the spring wheat region during
the past week. The reports indicate
that no serious damage has been done
TO early sown over the southern por-
ton. On the north Pacific coast the
crop Is now in need Of rain.
Oats sustained more or less injury
from cold In the states Of the Missouri
valley and usual growth is generally
reported in the central Mississippi and
Ohio valleys. Decreased acreage is re-
ported from Illinois, Indiana and I'M
even stands in Ohio. where unfinished
seeding is progressing slowly.
Nearly all fruits have suffered fur
Their damage from frosts and low tenn
peratures, apples having apparently
escaped with the least injury.
