TO BAPTIST MISSIONARIES
Several InterestinR Talks Made on
Opening Day of Local Com
ference.

The missionary conference OF the Baptist
churches OF the city was successfully inau-
gursted in Calvary Baptist church at 3
o clock yesterday afternoon. The afternoon
session was devoted to woman's work and
was opened by a devotional service lead by
Mrs f. w. Foster. Following this, Rev.
H. Williams, district secretary OF the Amer
lean Baptist Missionary union, who has
charge OF the meetings made a short ad-
dress dealing with the intention of the con-
ference.
These meetings are for the purpose OF
arousing interest in the mission work OF
the church in heather lands and to arouse
the spirit of missionary work. 1t is not
the intention TO raise money. Rev. Will
liams has been conducting a series Of these
meetings under the auspices of the mission
airy union in various cities.
The address Of the afternoon was deliv-
cred by Mrs. A. f. Groesbeck of China. She
told Interestingly of the conditions of life
surrounding women in China. How they
the hemmed in by the superstition and
usages of Oriental life, and how they stand
in need of help from their free sisters OF
the Occident. She told of the many ways
in which the woman missionary can do
more in this field than tho mPn. Mrs.
Groesbeck was with her husband in China
five years and passed through the Boxer
| outbreak Their station was forty miles
| inland from Swa-Tou and was destroyed,
but fortunately they we're at the seaport.
They are now on furlough and return in
October.
Mrs. J. H. Kerr, who was to have spoken
| during the afternoon, was unable to be
present. Last night, to a crowded church

Field" There will be three sessions to-

EBB OF PROSPERITY
Bad Situation in Central Pennsylvania
Coal Fields-important Mines Clos-
ed-Many Men Laid Of.

Altoona, Pa, Dec. 1.-THE situation
in the central Pennsylvania coal fields
has dropped to the lowest ebb Of pros
perity since the big strike in 1897. In
Cambria, Somerset, Blair and Clear
field counties, more than 1000 men
have been laid of and several impor-
tant mines have been closed. A NUM-
ber OF coal train crews on the Pennsyl-
vania railroad in consequence have
been taken off indefinitely.
The depression is due to the small
demand for coal made for steel manu-
facufacturing purposes One Of the
most distressing features of the situa-
tion was the sweeping reduction of
IL IL per cent in the wages of the
employees uf the Somerset Coal conf

POPCORN" LEWIS
Once Familiar Character-Was
Prominent Spiritualist.

A dispatch from Cleveland notes the
death of G. F. Lewis, of that city at
the advanced age of 80 years, from an
attack Of pneumonia. Mr. Lewis was
noted for his eccenWicities. He was
familiarly known as Popcorn" Lewis
from the fact that the foundation Of
the large fortune he once possessed
was laid upon the vending of that
hpmble and indigestible commodity.
Speculations in the cranberry swamps
of New Jersey, In oil and in real es-
tate in various places, made him i'm
mensely wealthy, but misfortune caus-
ed him to lose nearly all his property,
and il Is believed that he died In COM
parative poverty.
Many years ago Mr.. Lewis bought
the old Gross Cut" railroad, line
running from Cory. Pa, to Brocton,
N. Y. about 80 miles, paying $75,OOO for
the property. The road had been oper-
ated by what was then known as the
Allegheny Valley road, and has lately
been taken over by the Pennsylvania
Railroad Co., forming a part of its
through line from Pittsburg to Buffalo.
Just before Lewis took possession of
his purchase. as he claimed. the Allie
gheny Valley road "swiped" all of the
rolling stock except one or two anti
quated locomotives, a couple OF badly
battered passenger cars, and a few d.
lapidated freight cars. Nevertheless
he operated the road after a fashion
until he had an opportunity to sell it
for something like double the price he
paid for 1t.
Mr.. Lewis. for many years. was
prominent Spiritualist. and for some
time was regular attendant at the
meetings at Lily Dale. the noted Spir-
itualistic resort In Chautauqua coun-
ty, N. y He was also interested in
the movement started by Former Con-
gresham Castor, of Meadville, Pa, to
establish rival resort at some point
upon Lake Chautauqua.
