How to Solve the Race Problem.

Philadelphia, Oct. 14-Three interesting
meetings were held today by the Eastern
Missionary Convention of the Methodist
Episcopal Church in the Academy OF
Music. Bishop Cyrus d. Foss, of this
city, presided at all three sessions.
One of the principal addresses was that
of the Rev. DR.. H. X. Carroll, Assistant
Corresponding Secretary of the Mission
airy Society, who spoke on Home Missions
He devoted much of his address to the ne
gro question, and gave it as his opinion
that in Christian missionary work at
home lies the solution of the race prob
lem.
Rev. E. j. Helms, of Morgan Memorial
Church, Boston, declared that trades un-
ions should be Christianized. IF we are
wise we should see to it that from our
schools and seminaries every years we
would send missionaries into these great
labor organizations to make them Chris
ton. Here is a wonderful opportunity
to which the church thus far has been

Mr.. Tebew is survived by his wife and
one small child, who live on Johnson
street He was a brother in-law of Mr..
Tom Stone, of this city. He was a man
much loved by all who knew him, and
was respected by both the officials by
which he~was employed, and all who was
under him. His remains will probably
arrive here today and taken to his homo

The arrangements for the funeral have
not been made yet. Mr.. Tebew's duties

and rode on the engine at the time OF
the accident.
The deepest sympathy is expressed for
the grief stricken wife and child In the
loss of husband and father.
peculiar coincidence of Mr.. Tebew's
death is that within a half block of
where he lived, four railroad men have
lost their lives in railroad accidents in the
past four months, all of these men being
warm friends. They were: Engineer
Wall, who was killed in the head on col
lison near Hamlet; Conductor Moody,
Flagman Allen and Mr.. Tebew.

PRIMROSE"

When an actress succeeds as star"
the same is put down as surprise.
The reason for this is, likely, that so many
who try for the higher flight fail and

those who knew of her artistic abilities
and delicate charm of manner, Adelaide
Thurston5s steady rise and substantial
success as a "star" was no surprise.
The surprise would have been the other
way. Failure would have astonished
them. But for an actress to success, she
must have good plays-and it is there
that Miss Thurston can "thank her stars"
else her own dainty little ''star" might
have twinkled but vainly. Now, it may
safely be called fixed one-and all be-
cause of her fetching personality and her
good luck and good fortune in securing
plays which suit her and incidentally the

many States are in attendance.
AT the afternoon session General HeNry
V. Boynton, of Washington, was elected
president OF the society.
Tonight public meeting of the society
was held which was largely attended The
grafton of the occasion was delivered by
General Gates P. Thurston, of Nashville.
The available fighting force on the Federal
side during the war, he SAID, was about
100000 or $1,300,000 men, or about so TO
e5 per cent of the enlisted strength. He
asserted that the Confederate forces did
not number over one half as many per-
haps much less than one half but that
owing to their railroads, interior lines and
defensive advantages the Confederates
were able to bring equal or nearly equal
forces into battle in the great engagements
of war. General Thurston asserted the
censuses of 1860 and 1890 showed that the
Confederates must have had an available
force of 600, 900 and an enrolment of about
900, 900 soldiers.
