This is the tribute of General Booth, the
head of the Salvation Army, to his late
hosts.
"You can pray he added "in an Amer
lean crowd and they will not laugh They
will listen. I never heard a jeer nor saw
a sneer all the time was there, See the
difference in the newspapers. They are
perfect contrast to the English ones. My
meetings were reported in the newspapers
of nearly every city more fully than in
the War Cry. They wrote what happened
as if the writer understood what religion
is. An English journalist would be afraid
to let it be supposed that he had the
slightest sympathy with that sort of thing.
In America Journalists express things
with the best ideas they can of what
actually took. place. and leave the public
to judge the merits. It is just the same
with prize fight. a murder or divorce
/ case. They give everything as fully as
they can. You must be careful of how you
judge the state of public opinion by what
appears in the English. newspapers. For
| instance, next Sunday at Liverpool. I
probably will have 10000 people to hear
<1e. The three meetings will be crowded,
no doubt, with intent, united hearts, yet
the newspapers on Monday will give per-
haps three inches to the whole thing"
When asked if he found the gambling

chair covers, tapestries and even walls
by, the vacuum method: The bulletin
gives credit to the London. Lancet of
February II for major share Of infor-
nation on the subject, saying among
other things: ..-. ~. ::
Instead of the old fashioned, dust rails
ing broom, the dust-scattering feather
duster, or the more modern compressed
air method, all dust and the disease germs
which it contains are sucked out Of
carpets, rugs curtains, tapestries, etc,
and conveyed through rubber tubes to an
exhaust cylinder. whence 1t is emptied
into the furnace for complete destruction
-''The process is simple enough. When
spring cleaning is to be done machine
is sent to: the house provided with q
pair Of vacuum pumps, operated by a
motor, which serves to maintain an ex-
haust of several pounds to the square
inch. Hose, connected with this exhaust,
terminate in so-called cleaners which are
tubes fattened at the end with a long
split. The cleaners are rubbed back
and forth over the carpets, chair cover
ings. etc, and all the dust is quickly
sucked out. 1t is removed not only from
the surface, but from the body Of the
carpet"

loaned to the schol board at the critical
time whentit was expected that the
schools would have to closesin March in
stead Of June of that year. for lack of
funds. When the money was paid back
by the schol board it was returned to
the sinking fund, from which it came. and
there is remained. s..> ~! 4

held in Lead by, Golden Star lodge, a. +.

The lower court held that the building
owned by the two lodges was exempt
from taxation. on the ground that the
proceeds from the rental of the property
wer devoted entirely to benevolent and
charitable purposes. Justice Haney. who
gave the decision Of the supreme court,
declares that the exemptions do not ap-
ply to the property for the reason that It
is rented for commercial use. and not
for benevolent purposes only. The de-
cison Is Of much Importance, inasmuch
as it affects almost every lodge building
