Resignation of Miss Gale.

The Beloit, Wis, News of Oct. 80 con.
tains the announcement of the resigna-
ton of Miss Jennie A. Gale as pastor of
the Gridley church. Miss Gale is a St.
Tohnsbury lady who has been remark
ably successful in christian work both in
Vermont and Beloit and her many friends
will be interested in the account of her
resignation:
AS foretold in the columns of the Daily
News Wednesday, Rev. Jennie Anna Gale
Thursday evening presented her resigna-
ton as pastor of Gridley church. The
church was crowded for the mid-week
PRAYER meeting, the news of their pas
tors probable action having brought
out everyone in the neighborhood, and
there were few dry eyes in the house
when Miss Gale read her resignation and
followed with fervent prayer for her
people.
Miss Gale is remarkable woman and
has done great work in Beloit. There
is not a home in the Strong addition
which does not know Of her loving inter
est and her influence has gone far outside
the circle of her parish. During the
Biederwolf meetings last winter she was
one OF the most earnest and successful
workers and many were brought into a
realization of new life through her in
fuence and personal work.
Gridley church has grown in numbers
and has received rich spiritual blessings
since this loving and devoted woman
came to it, and it has also prospered in q
material way. At the meeting Thursday
night reports showed that the church
was out of debt and had something or
hand for "rainy day."

One ray of sunshine comes to the peo-
pie of Girdley, however, in the assurance
that their beloved pastor is still to
remain among them serving in the pew
instead of in the pulpit. Her resignation
in full follows:
MISS GALES RESIGNATION.
Dear Brothers and Sisters of Girdley
Church:
Four years ago Oct. 18th, first spoke
Gods word in Gridley Chapel and said
that, God willing, l would begin my
work with you as pastor on the first
Sunday of the new year.
l gave that word gladly after weeks OF
praver-sure that it was Gods call. l
have never for moment regretted that
decision or doubted that it was as God
directed.
The love and prayer and ready help
given by you, have with Gods blessing
made these four years full of JOY unspeak-
able to mel cannot tell you in words
how dear you have become to me.
God has opened wide door before us
as church and people and l believe the
Lord purposes to do blessed work
through this Candlestick or His own
planting.
For nearly two years have felt that
the work demanded more than | was
able to supply-and the months as they
have come and gone, deepen this con-
viction.
/ am now asking you to accept my
resignation as pastor, to take effect early
in next February or at such time before
then as you are able to fill the place.
The pain of this step is much lessened
for me in that l anticipate remaining one
of your number in the bonds OF church
fellowship and service. | only ask to be

where l hope to be still of some service
with you all in the Masters vineyard.
Shall we not be very much in prayer,
waiting on the Lord, assured that He
has for us pastor of His own choos-
ing?
Anticipating your consent to my re-
quest, 1 bespeak for my successor the
same loyalty you have given your first
pastor and sister in Christ.

Miranla of uonntrnntion-

The two Americans who constructed
the Oroya railroad in Peru, Messrs
Meiggs and Thorndike were considered
crazy when they I4oposed it.
1t was necessary to carry the road
bed for miles through galleries cut in
the solid face of the rock, and the
Workmen engaged in cutting the gall
leries were in many cases lowered in
cages from the cliffs above. More than
sixty tunnels had to be cut in the
course of construction. one. the famous
Galera tunnel. one and one-half miles
IN length. the highest engineering
project of its kind on earth.
Il is on this road that the signal
achievement of constructing a lofty
steel bridge connecting two tunnels was
accomplished. In building this bridge.
which spans a crevice 575 feet wide and
hundreds OF feet deep. 1t was necessary
TO lower all material from the top OF
the cliffs by wire cables. The whole
stuDendous task was made possible
only by the liberal use of the ''V
switch" or "switchback." In one in
stance on the Peruvian railroad IL was
FOUND necessary to construct a switch
back in the side of the mountain. the
train heading in on the lower level and
back out through an upper tunnel al
most exactly above. The cost of the

from 0.000oOf to 0000007 millimeter. The
report and description is published in
volume 10, 1903. of the Annalen der
Physik- The principle Of the improve
ment consists in eliminating the light
reflected from the surfaces Of the con-
densing lens and the microscopic objec-
tive whereby the Illuminating light en-
tiers the line of vision. so that the OBJ
Ject becomes visible by its reflected
light alone. This is effected by making
the Illuminating ray of light perpen-
dicular to the axis of the microscopic
objective. the focus of the condensing
lens and that of the microscope Objec-
tive being so adjusted as to meet at a
common point. The principle is the
same as that whereby a beam of light
traverses a darkened room, the eye of
the observer being at right angles to it.
The dust particles in a still room are
seen to be astonishingly numerous. We
once knew a painter who carefully ex-
cluded such direct rays of sunlight
from his studio because, he said, the
sunlight raised such a cloud of dust!
Multiply the intensity of the illumina-
ton by more brilliant light, focus 1t
upon point by condensing lens, and
multiply the size of the image by a mi
croscoDic objective and the plan of the
new microscopy will be clear. 1t can
hardly fail vastly to add to the re-
sources of microscopists, and may lead
to unexpected discoveries both in phys
les and biology, and especially in cytol-
ogy and bacteriology.-A Med

SOME ARKANSAS AGUE.

Three people were in sight as the
colonel rode up to the Arkansas cabin

but all kept their places and contented
themselves with wave of the hand.
The old man had the front of the
cabin, and it was soon discovered what
was the matter with him. He was hav-
ing a shake of the Arkansas ague. His
face was pale, his lips blue, and his teeth
ratified together as he tried to speak.
The colonel walked around to the rear
of the house and there discovered a girl
of about 20, making four members of the
family who were all shaking at once.
Coming back to the old man. he was
handed flask, and after he had CUR
gled down about half it's contents the
chill left him for minute and he said:
Stranger, I'm sorry yo' happened
along today. fur ] can't offer yo' any
hospitality"
"Oh, that's all right 1 simply stop
ped to get a drink of water and have a
smoke. 1t happens to be your ague day,
eh?"
Eyes, sab, but jest changed the 9TH
er day, and I'm sorry did, as can t
smoke with yo'. My days fur chfllin'
have allus been Sunday. Wednesday and
Friday, with the off days fur huntin'
change, and the old woman had to
change with me to save the pesky cab
in"
II don't exactly see how" said the
colonel. as he extended the flask again
and received it back empty.
It's this way, stranger. When yo'
have the shakes yo've got to brace yo'r
back, and the cabin is the handiest
thing fur a bracer. Jim and Sal was a
shakin'~ Mondays, Thursdays and Satur-
days, and drat my hide if they wasn't
jest topplin' the shanty over into the
creek To even things up and keep her
level, me and the old woman had to
change our dates. and that's why the
four of us ar all shakin' at once. What
dye think of the idea?''
1T seems a good one"
That's what / reckon. and now, If
yo don't mind, yo' kin pass around the
shanty and kinder hearken the rest of
'em up a Bit
But the flask is empty
''Oh, 1 don't mean that" the old man
chatted between his shakes. Jest pitch
'em a few tracts or a cheap testament,
and tell 'em Arkansas is higher heaven
than any other state in the Union. M.

HOLDING. UP A BANK.

Perhaps the first Confederate bank
raided by Union sotAiers was one at
Charlestown, Virginia, as Milroy was
making his way up the Shenandoah
valley.
Drumming" was in its infancy then,
but a dozen of the fellows found them
selves ahead of the army and resolved
to strike for big stake. They made a
sudden attack on the town at daylight,
and then dashed in and made for the
bank. They broke in the door with an
axe, obliged the banker to unlock his
safe and something like $500, 900 was
carried away as they retreated.
A day later they bundled up $780, 900,
strapped it on the back of an old lame
mule, and hired farmer to deliver the
wealth to General Milroy in person.
Accompanying the money was a note,
which advised the general to bride the
Confederates to keep ahead of him and
do no fighting. AS his military ma
neuvers had been checkmated right
along, and his reputation was under a
cloud, it was hard shot at him. The
story got to Washington. and was com
mented on by President Lincoln. and it
has been asserted that the presidents
levity caused the general to tender his
resignation.-M. Quad

CAUSE OF TYPHOID.
State Board Of Health Will Try
to Find 1t.

DR.. Charles Lowry, secretary OF the
state board of health. estimates that
there are now between eighty and one
hundred cases of typhoid fever in To-
peka. This estimate was made at the
quarterly meeting of the state board OF
health Friday afternoon.
Typhoid fever is reported as prevail
ing to considerable degree in three
places in Kansas at presenr-Topeka,
Kansas City and Hiawatha. The board
authorized Secretary Lowry to make a
thorough investigation, of conditions in
Topeka to ascertain the cause of the
prevalence of typhoid fever. He will
pick out cases in various localities in
the city and follow through the history
of each case in detail, ascertain the
source of drinking water and its purity.
and the condition of the surroundings
of the home of the patient.
DR.. Lowry estimates that there have
been about $50 cases of typhoid fever in
Topeka during the summer. OF these
about forty are believed to be well on
towards recovery while eight or ten have
died. New cases are appearing nearly
every day. The nurses at StormOnt hos
pital have had but few hours off for
several weeks. A number expected to
have a brief vacation Friday afternoon
to attend the fair. but between II and 1
o'clock three new typhoid patients came
in to the hospital.
Pending DR.. Lowrys investigation of
conditions here the state board of health
ADVISES the people to continue to boil
all their drinking water. AS soon as the
investigation is completed a report will
be made which may throw more light on
the typhoid situation in Topeka This
investigation, which the state board of
health has ordered, should have been
made by the city health department
when typhoid first made it's appearance.
If the city physician had attended to
this matter the public might now be
better prepared to fight the disease.
Diphtheria has been reported to the
state board of health from a number OF
localities in the state, and the board
has taken action to stamp it out if pos
sible wherever it appears The loacl
health officers where the disease ap-
pears have been given discretion as to
the length of time necessary for quar-
antining each case.
