whose vice-presidents, Rev. DR.. Wm
c. Winslow, of Boston, a large number
of papyri have been brought to Ameri'
ca and distributed among several uni
versities, some of the most precious OF
pspyri going to the University of Penn
sYlvania owing to the interest dis
played by that institution in such an
tiquities.
DR.. Winslow nearly two years ago
announced the discovery among the
papyri received by him of what was de-
clared to be the oldest fragment of the
Gospels in the world. This papyrus
contained large part of the gospel OF
St. Matthew. 1t was found in Oxy-
rhynchus, 14O miles south of Cairo,
near the spot where the famous Logia,
or Sayings Of Jesus, were disinterred.
Some experts placed the date of the
papyrus at $50 A. D. but the editors Of
the society's publications preferred to
put it at so or go years later.
Messrs. Grenfell and Hunt made
their great find in the season 1096-97
when excavating at Behnera, the an
cient Oxyrhynchus, one Of the chief
early Christian centers in Egypt, re-
covering from the sand thousands of
papyri, number of rolls in good con-
dition and a great store of fragments
of literary works, among which occur
red the now well-known "Logia, or
Sayings of Our Lord" There were
eight Of these Sayings" believed to
have been written not much later than
A. D. 200 It is generally agreed that
these "Logia" do not take US behind
the existing canonical gospels, but that
they are themselves baIed on them
and on later writings known and
and unknown. One authority, Har-
mack, maintains they are excerpts
from the los" Gospel ofthe Egyptians. "
The discovery of Logia and Of these
fresh relics Of ancient gospels and
other early Christian documents has
confirmed the theory that in Egypt
there still remain to be found abundant
evidences of the origin of Christianity.
There were many Christian churches
in Egypt founded by e1iles from Pal
estine Immediately after the CrucifI-
ion, and there are probably preserved
beneath the sands of the Fayorem
many remains Of the first Christian
literature.

Boys in War.

Veterans OF the Clyll war usually
lack either the disposition or skill to
tell the younger generation what war
was like. The man who writes the
history of his regiment generally con-
tents himself with "rattling volleys,"
CLOUDS of smoke" "our right wing
advanced steadily" "the carnage was
fearful, and similar expressions. One
aspect of the war which the younger
generation surmises has never been
adequately shown was the boyish
romping and the humorous rivalry
like that of a football game which
characterized many moments of the
conflict. A veteran tells this story
forty years after the war, In all that
time he had never thought it worth
relating until one day some inkling Of
it came out in talk with his son, and
the son pumped out" the rest.
During the long operations about
Petersburg one of the Union regi-
ments was encamped so near Con-
federate entrenchment that during
the days of idle waiting the men Of
the opposing ranks grew almost to
know each other. Both sides could
see the inside domestic arrangements
of their enemys camp, and could
count the shirts hung ont on the line
The shirts had covered hostile breasts
but the breasts were the breasts of
boys.
The colonel of the Union regiment
had entered the army during his
third year at Phillips Academy. His
under officers were all younger than
twenty-five, and half his men had lit
tie need of shaving-kits. The Con-
federates were perhaps younger still.
Between the two camps Jokes and
eers and burlesque challenges were
thrown by these boy soldiers. The
exchange of courtesies had no more
hostility, perhaps less bitterness, than
the give and take between contesting
schools at a football game. Beside a
Confederate tent would fall a stone
round which was wrapped a piece Of
paper bearing the good-humored if
not very refined inscription Your
colonel is bow-legged.
Back came the answer "Well, he
can run, but he don't need to-from
you"
One day the Union colonel, walk
ing down the lines, found some of his
men calmly shooting at a clothes.Ine
which the Confederate soldiers had
hung in a high spot to catch the
wind. 1t was full OF clothes, and the
boys were trying to cut the line and
send the garments into the mud
The colonel laughed, watched his
men make unsuccessful shots, then
took a rife himself, aimed and brought
down the line of shirts and trousers
A cbeer-precisely like that from the
"bleachers" when a man knocks
home run-went up from the Union
camp.
The colonel is getting on in years
now, and the prank does not fit his
military dignity or his character as
his sons know him. But at the time
when he was leader Of regiment be
should have been a junior in college.

Words Of Christ Found.

Many hitherto unknown sayings of
Jesus Christ have been discovered in
Egypt by archeologists who have dug
up papyri, buried since the second CEN
tury, 100 miles south of Cairo. DR..
Bernard P. Greniell. who has been en-
gagged in Egyptian excavations since
1894, at the general meeting of the
Egypt Exploration Fund recently gave
the following details:
Accompanied by DIR, Hunt, DR..
Grenfell found a rich ptolemaic ne
cropolis at Hibeh. The bulk of the
documents from one mound consisted
of collection of sayings Of Jesus.
They are all introduced with the words
Jesus saith, and for the most part
are new. The ends of the lines, un-
fortunately, are often obliterated.
Apparently all the sayings were ad-
dressed to St. Thomas. One of the
most remarkable is:
"Let not him that seeketh cease
from his search until he find, and when
he finds he shall wonder; wondering
he shall reach the kingdom, !. E., the
kingdom of heaven, and when he
reaches the kingdom he shall rest.
DR.. Grenfell remarked that enorm-
Gus interest would be aroused by the
discoveries on account of the variations
they disclosed from accepted texts.
One varient Of the mystical saying, re-
corded in St. Luke, "The kingdom Of
God is within you" was Of great value
as the saying in the papyrus appeared
in quite different surroundings from
those attributed to ii by the evangelist
According to DR.. Grenfell these say
ings formed the new Gospel which is
traditionally associated with St.
Thomas There is an interesting va
ration of the Gospel according to st.
Luke, Il, so:
"Woe unto you lawyers for ye have
taken away the key of knowledge: ye
entered not in yourselves, and them
that were entered in ye hindered." "
This reads in the papyrus:
aye have hidden the key of know
ledge, ye entered not yourselves and
to them that were entering in ye did
not open"
Another fragment contained dis
course of Christ, closely related to pas
sages of the Sermon on the Mount, and
conversation between Christ and
His deciples, in which Christ answers
question as to when His kingdom
will be realized, saying:
when yereturn to the state ofinno-
cence which existed before the fall.
A valuable find was made in papYri,
written in Latin, giving the text of the
epistle to the Hebrews and an epitome
of Livy's six lost books. This, with
other papyri, covering the period l5O-
1877 B. c., threw much new and valu-
able information on the history OF the
world and marked the recovery Of
hitherto lost classical literature Of
Egypt.
A quaint instance Of the business
method in vogue in 137 A. D. is shown
in the discovery of an amusing con-
tract by which a slave boy was to be
taught shorthand for 100 drachma
The payment was arranged on tho
roughly businesslike basis, 40 drachma
down, 40 on satisfactory evidence Of
progress and 40 on attainment Of pro-
fciency.

The Farmer and His Help.

The Western farmland has to be
treated with the same tender consd-
GRAFTON as the Eastern housemaid. A
Warren County farmer, who, like mOst
other Missouri agriculturists, has found
farmhands hard to get and harder to
keep, has made out set Of rules which,
as the Msrthsville Record thinks,
should bring hands out Of the woods:
Wages will be So day. Break
fast will be served in bed. Working
hours will be from 10 a. N. to 2 p. n.
All heavy work is to be done BY the
boss. Cigars furnished free. Amy
hand working the entire reason can
have the farm"

FELL DOWN
ELEVATOR.
Henry Larsen Met With Serious
Injuries in Union Hall Last
Night.
STEPPED INTO SHAFT.

Henry Larsen, of So South First
street, fell fifty feet down the elevator
shaft in Union Hall last night. He
was taken to the hospital today suffer
ing with severe injuries to his legs
and body, which will keep him there
for some weeks.
Larsen was attending the special
meeting of the Mason Helpers and
Concreters Union. He left the room

over and those still in the loom SUP.
posed that he had just stepped outside
for moment. They were so deeply
interested in what was going on in
the meeting that no attention was
paid to the fact that Larsen failed to
return.
In the meantime Larsen had made
the awful mistake of stepping into
the open elevator shaft from the TOP
floor of the three story building.
There was nothing to break his fall
executing two iron rods at the bottom
of the shaft. His legs struck them
and he lay on the bottom for over an
hour when officer Long, who was pass
ing by, heard him groaning with
pain.
Seeing the mans condition he i'm
mediately notified DIR. Lund and
Sergeant Mulligan The man was re-
moved to DR.. Lund's office. In fall
ing, DR.. Lund said this morning,
Larsen's both legs struck two iron
cross pieces near the bottom of the
shaft, inficting frightful cuts in both
limbs. Several ribs were broken and
the man was bruised about the head.
DR.. Lund ordered him removed to the
hospital and Sergeant Mulligan de-
tailed officer Jensen on the case. DR..
Lund said this morning that it was
next to miracle that Larsen was not
killed.

May l..
The independent tug boat owners,
however, failed to come to any agree
ment and consequently about 200 of
the 600 tug boats employed in New
York and around this harbor have
been tied up awaiting results of the

In this port the tugs belonging to
the Lehigh Valley and Pennsylvania
Railroads are not affected. Neither
were the harbor tugs operated by the
independent owners in Tottenville.
The Port Johnson Towboat Company,
of New York, took advantage of the
strike and sent the tugs Burnett and
Hoffman here to undergo a thorough
oyerhauling at the Perth Amboy Dry
Dock Company plant. Two tugs of
the White Star Line also arrived this
morning and tied up at Browns docks
in Tottenville. The Packard Dredg-

dredging near the lighthouse in Rari-
tan bay, has decided to tie up many

THREE STRIKES ARE
ON IN THIS CITY.
Printers Mason Heoers and ConcreerS and Mdht at the Plant
of the American Smelling and Refining Company are Out
Painters May Have Long Fyht7errG Gotta Presses at Work.

The labor troubles which have been
agitating people all over the country
since the first of April, struck this
city this morning when the members
of Painters, Paperhangers and Decor
ators Union ia, the Mason Tenders
and Concreters' Union 10. l59, and the
machinists at the American Smelling
and Refining Works, went out on
strike. The Painters have made a
demand for $275 day and eight
hours work. At the present tlme.they
receive So. % for eight hours. The
bosses agree to pay the men their de-
mands, but will not sign the wage
scale slip agreement, and this is what
is now causing all of the trouble.
The painters say that if the agreement
is not signed by tonight that they will
not go back to work for less than $S
per day. The bosses seem just as firm
rs the men. They say they are will
ing to pay the union demands, but
will not sign the agreement.
The Mason Helpers demand 1926 a
day and a days work to consisC OF
nine hours. At the present time they
receive S1.75 for eight and a halt
hours work. The bosses agree to give
them 50 day for eight hours work.
This the helpers refuse to take saying
that they cannot work for less than
81. 25 per day. It is thought the
trouble between the masons and help
ers will be speedily settled.
The machinists at the plant of the
American Smelling and Refining Com
pany have made, a demand for a raise
Of wages at the rate of % cents more
per day.
The terra Gotta pressers and finishers
did not strike today. Asstold In the
News the union received word from
the Eastern District Counsel not to
make any trouble until they heard
further from him. 1t is now under
stood that the counsel has made
arrangements which are satisfactory
TO both bosses and employees.
The Lathers, who made request a
few weeks ago that after today their
wages be increased and be paid by
the day instead of so much per thous-
and laths, will not 40 out on strike,
as they say they have not been organ
lied long enough, but they have great
hopes of the bosses granting their de-
mands. At present the Lathers have
about twelve members in their union
1t was reported this morning that
the employees of the United Cigar
Company were on strike, but this
was found to be untrue. Some of the
people were laid off on account of the
engine breaking down. They will all
be at work Monday morning again.
The most serious results today is
caused by the mason helpers and con-
oreters. By their refusal to work the
masons employed on the North Amboy
sewer and the new public school build
ing were forced to lay off.

As was predicted in yesterday

night. The teachers warrants nave

necessary action which is said to lead
to the quickest way out of the trouble
will be participated in only by the
