DIR. KING ON CHURCH EXTENSION.


Church Extension" was the topic at
Meridian-stree Church last night. the Rev.
James NJ. King. of Philadelphia. one of
the corresponding secretaries of the board
of extension being present. Mr.. King
spoke at length on what the board has done
and is doing in the way of church extern
sion. His discourse was preceded by a
solo,, viii There Be Any Stars by the
Rev. Mr.. Willis.
Tonight said DIR. King. '145. 100000 peo-
pie speak the English language. L want
all the nations to learn it. Why? Be-
cause wherever the English Language goes
the Bible goes and where the Bible goes
Jesus Christ has the right of way
Church extension was organized at a
meeting of the General Conference of the
Methodist Church in Philadelphia in 1864.
To a delegation from that conference which
called on President Lincoln and assured
him of the patriotism and prayers OF the
church. he said: 1T is no fault of others
that the Methodist Church has sent more
soldiers to the front, more nurses to the
hospitals and more prayers To heaven than
any others. God bless the Methodist
Church. God bless all the churches
DR.. King pointed out how church extern
sion came to the religious help or the eman-
cipated slaves and TO the neglected whites
i'm the South. Church extension work in
the colored conferences shows that over q
900 churches have been aided, and more
than $4,000 has been used In donations
and loans for this purpose. Church ex-
tension work in the Southern white con-
ferences shows that over LOO churcnes
have been aided. and more than $5oO,OO
granted In donations and loans. The church
extension work is so carried on that a per-
son who will make a gift of $3.50 can Sc
cure the erection of a church worth $3.50
and upward above the value of the ground.
The donor of $3.50 to this fund can name
the church where this money is placed as a
memorial church. DR.. King said that over
700 churches have been built on this line
since 1879 or are In process of erection. What
Is known as the mountain fund Is a fund
whereby 500 will secure the erection of a
church worth from $500 to $500 above the
value Of the ground. Over 200 churches
have been built on this plan since 1889 The
total number of churches aided by the eN-
tension board has been 1856. DIR. King
asserted that an average of one church a
day has been aided for a generation OF time.
The board of church extension aids in
church building not only in the States and
Territories on this continent but follows
the flag of the Republic and has already
helped build churches in Hawaii, Porto Rico
and the Philippines

new CRUISER MARYLAND
BIG wARSHIP is LAUNCHED AT THE
NEWPORT NEWS YARDS.
Sinks Into the Mud After Leaving the
out Damage to the Hull.

NEWPORT NEWS. Va, Sept. 12.-The
United States 15,OOO-ton armored cruiser
Maryland was launched at the yard of the
Newport News Shipbuilding Company to-
day. An unimportant accident attended
launching, marring but little. however, the
success of the event. The intensity of the
suns rays caused the melting of the tai
low with which the ways were creased and
the big keel instead of gliding evenly down
TO the water. chung TO the cradle. When
the cruiser was finally released it dipped
its stern heavily and grounded in the mud.
The ship was so skillfully handled that no
injury was suffered by the Maryland. The
cruiser probably will be safely afloat in
the morning.
More than 10000 persons witnessed the
launching. Miss Jennie Scott Waters, of
Baltimore, was the ships sponsor. The
ceremonies were brief and simple. Il
christen thee Maryland said the sponsor,
breaking a bottle of champagne as the
ship started down the ways The christen-
ing party then went TO Old Point Comfort,
where an elaborate pos%t-launching lunch
con was served. Governor Smith, of Mary
land, and his staff, accompanied by a party
of nearly 100 Marylanders and the Mary
land Naval Reserve attended the launch
ing.
The Maryland is 52 feet on load-water
line; extreme breadth, 90 feet 6l5 inches; trial
displacement, 1850 tons: mean draft at trial
displacement, "a feet 1 inch. The Maryland's
armamen will consist of fou eight-inch
guns mounted i'm pairs i'm two electrically
controlled elliptically balanced turrets, one
forward and one aft on the main deck; four
six-inch guns; on the gun deck n main
broadside battery of ten six-inch guns. five
on each side. On the main deck forward
and aft will also be located the eighteen
three-inch guns OF the secondary battery.
The secondary battery also will consist of
twelve three-pounders, eight o-ne-pounders
two three-inch rapid-fire guns. two machine
and six automatic guns OF small caliber
mounted in commanding positions and on
the military tops.
Protection will be furnished by armor
consisting OF the water-line belt. Above

ENGLISH RAILROADS AND OURS.
advantage and DISADVANTAGES
Pointed Ont.

Leslie's Weekly.
1T is the current belief that our American
railroads are vastly superior to the roads
OF every other country in the world. and so
Iney are In most respects, but not in all.
Our baggage check system Is a great con-
venience which foreign roads seem un-
accountably slow to adopt, and we SUNNY
travellers with many comforts and conven-
fences not to be found elsewhere. But in the
very important elements of safety. English
roads are much superior to our own. Re-
cent statistics have been published showing
That scarcely a single fatality to EMPLOYEES
occurred on the English roads last year.
whereas the death list of railroad employees
In this country ran up into several thou
sands Fast railroad travel Is attended
with more peril with us than in European
countries. This is because our lines of rail
are not defended as they are abroad. In
England, for instance, the railroad is
closely fenced oil walled, and generally runs
in a sunken way or along an embankment.
Where II goes through a town IL does so
by means Of subways and tunnels. and at
almost every point the road crossings are
ing exists 1t Is carefully watched and
strongly guarded by gates and watchmen.
A train can run for one hundred miles on
one OF those English roads without encoun-
ter.ng obstacles or mourning damages. In
our open country the defenses are so few
that the engineer is kept under strong
tension all the time.
American companies are more considerate
to their patrons in one essential than the
foreign companies are. They ~contrive
through trains between important points,
and this enables US 10 promise the running
of long distance trains in the future at a
better rate of speed than that on the Eng
lish roads. In England, for example, IL is
a general custom to send trains on runs
only between the principal cities. and at
each one of these cities the traveller gets
out and waits for another train TO be made
up. There are through trains from London
to Liverpool. and from London to Edin-
burgh. but II one wants to go TO Durham,
for example, he may have TO change four
or five times. albeit the way is as straight
as that from New York to Washington.
Recently the English have been running
some pretty fast trains, but our system has
so many advantages that after the abolition

already beginning-we shall unquestionably

comes back out of the past after many
years. Doesn't that sound like slow
music?
If such an event happens to you and
it isn't a success, don't blame yourself
for being tickle; it is probably because
you have progressed beyond the other

NOVEL USE FoR CHARCOAL.

A woman who has a wonderful COM
plexion at the age of forty-fiye ascribes
il to charcoal. She claims it is the
only cosmetic which she has used for
twenty-eight years. She keeps in her
medicine cupboard a wide mouthed bot
tie containing fine ground French char
coal It is always tightly corked.
Her rule is to take one teaspoonful
mixed with honey three nights consec-
utively about once in three months, Of
tener if she feels tired or has touch
of indigestion. The fourth night she
takes a simple purgative to remove the
charcoal from the system The dose is
like a mild form OF calornel, and it's
effects are not only a fine, clear skin
for that is simply result of good
health-but a thoroughly purified sys-
tenn. She also claims that her free use
of tomatoes. figs. prunes, oranges,
grapes and all sorts of ripe fruit in its
season has not a little to do with her
fine health.
