COMING BASEBALL.
Steamship Mines to Meet Again
Punaelks and Kamhacs Once More.

| A return baseball match between the
| Wilder Steamship Company and the
| Inter-Island Steam Navigation Com
pany has been practically arranged
The Inter-Island boys, who lost the
first match, think they can present a
much better showing if the conditions
of the match are changed. AS it
stands, only those who eat in the cabin
are eligible to play, but it is claimed
that the Wilder Steamship engine room
employees eat in the cabin, whereas
those of the Inter-Island vessels mess
separately And the Inter-Islanders
claim that some Of their best players
are Knights of the Oil Can. Wilders
will, it is thought, make some conces-
sion to secure the match.
The Punaelks and Kamhacs will play
again on Saturday on the baseball
grounds, the Punaelks putting strong
err team in next time. Steere, who
promised at the meeting to play, back
ed out and left hole in the team and
if Kaai had been on hand to change
pitchers in the fifth when the Kamhacs
got on to Hardee's speed, results might
have been different. Kaai, however,
had just secured job and his bosses
were absent. He may be able to get off
this week.

ooToBER's Low TEMPERATURES
Caused by Extra Humidity and No
by 'ssnowy Slopes"

The mean temperature for the month
of October just past as registered by
r. c.. Lydecker, Territorial Meteoro-
iogist, shows the lowest figures, with
one exception in 1894, of any records
taken by the present station in TWEEN
ty-one years.
The figures stand at ISL or IL de-
grees below normal. The lowest rec
ord of 1894 stood at 74.7 or A beneath
last month.
On the other hand the mean rela-
tive humidity of October registers 1873
or 34 above normal. This increased
humidity, says the meteorologist, in
great measure counteracts the low
temperature, the first being a natural
sequence Of the last condition. There
is therefore no cause to think that the
much advertised Snowy Slopes" are
gradually lowering our winter warmth.

the marvels of invention possible to
men working under inspiration that
is lmost divine, and they were thrill
ed by the inspiring discourse.
The service was practically the
same as they would have enjoyed in
the church, except that they could not
see the preacher. In the quiet of a
room in the farmhouse, it is possible
for talk over the telephone to be
heard several feet from the receiver,
especially when the new funnel at
tachment is put on. and by gathering
about the whole family heard the SER
mon.
The service began, as is the Gus
tom with a gospel song Mr.. Kim
brell had enlisted the aid of the best
singers in Madison. from his own
church and those of other denomina-
tons, and the choir that sang to the
telephone audience was unusually
strong. -Four or five miles IL in the
country the subscribers, listening at
the phone, could recognize the voices
of the several singers. and the express
sions of delight at such recognition
were common.
After the opening song, Pastor Kim

invoking the blessing of God Upon the
audience, was distinctly heard miles
away, and in many homes heads were
bowed-not only in reverence to the
Creator. but in awesome hush at the
marvellous transmission of the preach
er's voice over a slender wire from
the distant town.
Then the pastor gave out his text
and read a selection from Scripture.
The sermon followed, in which the
pastor dwelt upon the wonders
wrought by a working under di,
vine guidance, during the past few
decades-the progress Of invention
and scientific discovery. The Misses
Rowe, well known singers in Madison,
rendered a duet, which delighted the
far-spread audience.

manager.
Very good. Is there any way
whereby you can connect all these
families so that | can sit in the tele-
phone booth here and deliver a ser
mon that will be heard by all your

Certainly replied Manager West
ern. THAT is a simple matter. By
arranging four transmitters we can
put you in communication with TWEEN
ty lines, so that all of the 200 sub
scribers on those lines will be able to

The farmer-folk were notified, by
phone, that Rev. Mr.. Kimbrell would
deliver his sermon Sunday morning
over the telephone, and all were in
vited to enjoy the services. The
farmers and their families were de.
lighted. Manager Western entered
heartily into the spirit of the occa-

this:

That was the subject Of Pastor
Kimbrell's sermon-the first sermon
by telephone, out here on a Missouri
prairie, far from the great centers of
commerce and scholasticism and sci
entific research.

But still the farmer was compelled
to go to church in order to enjoy re-
ligious privileges on Sunday. Nearly
every Missouri farmer is a church
member. or members of his family be-
long to the church, and a great many
of them have church connections in
the town. Attendance at church SER
vices is regarded as a duty and a
privilege. But there are times in this
state, particularly in the spring sea-
on. when the country roads are in
such a muddy condition that church
going is almost impossible. The Mis-
souri, farmers daughters look out up
on the muddy roads and the father of
the family tells them that the team
can't pull the surrey into town with
out great danger of being stalled in
the mire or of getting their Sunday
inery splashed with mud. The wife
and children, deeply disappointed, re-
sign themselves to the fate of staying
at home over Sunday. and a Sunday
on the farm, with nothing to do, is
not a pleasant prospect.
Rev. Mr.. Kimbrell of the Methodist
church at Madison, realizing the
plight of his country parishioners-it
was IdllllS llcdN llJ-"do uCCpiy SOh-
cerned. He knew that hundreds of
them would be unable to get into
town to attend church and he felt
that it was his duty to provide for
them, if possible, some spiritual pab-
ulum to carry them over the day and
give them inspiration for the weeks
hard work ahead. He cogitated and
acted. Mr.. Kimbrell is an advanced
student, and the ancient warfare be-
tween science and religion is not re-
garded by him in the conventional
manner He believes in using sci
ence for the advancement of religion.
Going to the telephone central
in Madison, Mr.. Kimbrell consulted
with Manager r. q. Western. There
was a long talk in the telephone ex-
change.
Il want to preach to the country
people who cannot attend church to-
day." he said. How many families
can | reach by 'phone?"

What mattered it that the rain
poured outside in torrents? What
mattered it that mud vas eight inch
es deep along the roads? What mat
tered it that the town was five miles
away? The preacher was present,
his voice was heard there in each
family sitting-room, the songs of the
choir and the soloists were audible
and if the service had been in the
church instead of at ''central'-and
why cannot it be so held in future?-
the strains of the organ also could
have been heard in the homes of the
weather-bound worshippers.

Dwarf Essex Rape.

The Dwarf Essex rape has come
greatly into favor during the past Ave
years as a forage plant. Only a few
years ago it was almost unknown.
Now almost every up to date farmer
grows it, some for a summer hog pas
ture, some sowing it for a catch crop,
some sowing it with small grain and
some among the corn, each finding it
very useful no matter how grown. If
you have not tried it as yet, SOW a

Rev. Mr.. Kimbrell, of the Method
list church in Madison, realizing the
possibilities of the telephone, has
. gone one step farther and proved that
the wfre-talk may be adapted to the
expounding of the gospel.
Ten years ago the Missouri farmer
would have regarded as a lunatic any
man bold enough to predict that
preaching by telephone would be pos
sible. If any man had told him that
practically every family of his com
munity would have a telephone in the
house within ten years he would have
pooh-poohed the idea. But, neverthe'
less, the telephone came, local
lines we're organized by the indefa'
tigable promoter, "centrals" were es'
tablished in many a country town,
and gradually the farmers were con
nected."
The Missouri farmer was able to
communicate with the town and with
his neighbor simply by ringing a bell
and calling for a connection. This
made him almost a town resident, in
asmuch as it eliminated the necessity
