the city and himself.
When special meeting is called

the tabernacle which has capacity
of about 5000 people is we'll filled
with people, but last night only about
half that number was present.
81 love this tabernacle" Dowie
said. 81 loved all my tabernacles as
I loved my people. AS my people
have grown so have my temples of
worship. And when we prepare to
leave this tabernacle for the last time,
the next house of worship will be
Jerusalem.
Tuesday it was the general opinion
that the Liabilities would not amount
at the outside to over $3.50. 600.

CURE SICK HEADACHE.
IO9 YEA RS OLD.

Isaac Mitnisky died on Saturday at
burg, at the age of 100 years, his fam
lily affirms. He was born in Moscow,
Russia, and the year of his birth, 1894,
is recorded, it is said, in the archives
of the health department of that Rus
sian city AT the age of ninety two
he came to this country because all
his blood relations were in America.
His wife and children had preceded
him.
After being in the country two years
he became ill and had a premoniton
that he was going to die. His great
wish was that he should die in Rus
STA, so his children and grandchildren
sent him back to the land of his birth.
AT the end of year, having recov-
cred his health, he returned to Amer
lea, only to 60 abroad again two years
later, when he became ill and had an
other premonition that his days were
numbered. Once more he returned to
Williamsburg but twice again jour
neyed to Russia, each time believing
that it was to be his final voyage.
The last time he crossed the ocean was
eight years ago. when he was 101
years old. He remained in Russia six
months, and as he had recovered his
strength and vitality, he decided to
come back to America When old age
caused his collapse two weeks ago he
was too weak to have his ambition to
die on Russian soil realized.

Low WATER.

Bethel, Dec. 8. Sowing to the long
absence of rain, water in the springs
is getting low, and many supplies
have failed. The railroad supply is
getting short and domestic consumers
have been notified that they will be
cut off this week
White River Junction, Dec. 3 -The
cold weather during the last ten days
has frozen the ground to the depth OF
foot or more. Farmers in town are
complaining of the lack of water for
their stock MS most of the smaller
streams are dried up and but little
water is in the rivers in this locality.
Moretown, Dec. 8. -Springs are
very low and some Of them dry. One
farmer with seventy five head of stock
has been drawing water from brook
for weeks past.
Reports from various of the neigh
boring towns say that the water sup
ply is extremely low and that the
people have been obliged to undergo
difficulties on that account. Springs
in Williamsrown are very low, in
Corinth many of the farmers who
have large stock are drawing the
water for the animals by teams. The
question is becoming serious in Marsh
field, and in many places dependent
upon the village water company, the
water has long since ceased to run.

A YOUTHFUL THIEF,
Four Charges Against Ellen Bolden Of
Brookland.

Policemen Bryarly and Bradley were In
the Juvenile Court this afternoon as wit
nesses against fOurteen-year-old colored
girl named Ellen Bolden. There were four
charges Of theft preferred against the child.
Last Halloween night several chairs and
rugs disappeared from porches of houses
about Brookland and at the time 1t was be-
Heved the depredations had been committed
by boys, who would return the property
later. The articles were not returned and
two days ago the officers found them in the
house of the girls mother. The finding of
the property was the result of neighbors
falling out, and one of them told the police
about the whereabouts of the property that
was recovered. Fines aggregating $40 were
imposed and the girl was turned over to the
board Of guardians.

NO ACTION ON PROTEST.
Waiting for Action on the
Miller Case.


President Barrett and two other MEM
bers Of the bookbinders arbitration COM
mittee made their daily call upon Secretary
Cortelyou of the Department Of Commerce
and Labor today to ascertain II any action
had yet been taken on the protest against
the retention of Miller as assistant fore
man in the bindery. They were informed
that nothing had come through that de-
partment that touched the case, and took
their departure to pass another day and
night Of waiting and watching.
A report was made by the arbitration
committee to the members Of the union at
the monthly meeting that was held last
night at their rooms in the Typographical
Temple, showing exactly the status Of the
Miller case at the moment.
Nothing was done that would restrict the
arbitration committee from pursuing the
course which 1t has. with the assistance Of
President Tatum, outlined for itself. This
action will in large measure depend upon
what course is taken by the public printer
on the Miller protest
1t Is not admitted that the Department of
Commerce has any official connection with
the matter. yet the bookbifiders officially
recognize the head of that department in
all their dealings with The printing Office
in this case and seldom or never visit Mr..
Palmer for information as to the progress
Of the case.
The civil service commission is ready to
act at any time that the matter comes to
them by way Of a protest from Miller in
the event Of his discharge, and so the case
now stands.

Publicity That Profits.


Maryland has. from time to time. made
some efforts to spread abroad q better
knowledge Of its advantages as a state for
manufactures. for agriculture and as
place OF residence. Unfortunately these
efforts have been very spasmodic in char
acter and hence very unsatisfactory In re-
suits. Thousands of circulars have been
sent out. but circulars of this character
are very rarely read and generally hnd
their way into the waste basket. The books
on Maryland which have been published.
some of them well supplied with interesting
information. have a very limited circuia-
ton and few Of them ever fall Into the
hands of those who might be Influenced by
what such books contain. 1t would not be
fair to say that the money thus expended
has been wasted. but the results attained
have not been sufficient to convince leg1s-
lstors that larger sums should be set apart
for this purpose.
There are new methods In this work just
as there are new methods in nearly every

advertising. one by which Maryland can
and should profit 1t has located In san
Francisco a promotion committee. which.
through a well-managed publication bu-
reau, sends to leading newspapers OF the
country interesting articles upon the re-
sources of that great state. These articles
are written In excellent style, without gush
or brag simply setting forth In straight
forward way the natural and artificial re-
sources of the state. They are accompanied
by handsome photographs. and no price 10
charged for their publication.

CHICAGO UNIVERSITY IN COURT.
City Sues for Payment Of So, 800 Water
Taxes.

CHICAGO. August 5-The superior court
has been called upon to decide whether the
University Of Chicago is operated for gain
or is a purely religious and charitable in
stitution.
The city Of Chicago takes one view of the
case and the university the other. 1t all
came about oyer bill for water which the
city has been supplying to the university
without receiving any pay for 1t. until the
bill ran up to $500. Then 1t sent a COL
lector to call on President William r. Har-
per- The collector came back without the
cash, and then Superintendent NOurse
threatened to shut off the water, where
upon the university management petiuoned
the court for an injunction to restrain the
city from carrying out its threat.
1t is based on the city ordinance exempt
ing from the payment of water bills re-
ligious, charitable or educational institu-
tions not operated for gain. The university
maintains that 1t comes under this last
head, as 1t is an educational Institution
which Is not making any money.

The Amur Route Preferred.

The tea from China for European Rus
STA last year. reports Commercial Agent
Greener to the State Department, took the
old route via the Amur. and importers ex-
press their determination to use the same
route this year. although the freight charge
via Dalny and the Chinese Eastern railway
is lower than by the Amur. and duty need
rot be paid in advance. while 1t must be SO
paid on the Amur. Commercial Agent
Greener says the reason given by the i'm
porters for choosing the Amur route is that
insurance companies refuse to take the tea
risks across Manchuria. Rice for Hardin
goes by the Ussurf railway to the Ussuri
river and thence by the Amur and Sungari
to Hardin.
