They have churches in every state
in the union except two, and while
their membership is largely in the
country towns and rural districts, the
gains in the larger cities have been ex-
cellent during the last decade. In
seventeen of the large cities where ten
years ago they had only seventy-seven
churches and 20, 983 members they now
have 159 churches and 49, 81 members,
showing gain in membership of 1.3S
per cent in a decade. A net gain of
80 900 communicates for the past year
brings the membership of the church
up to ,236,377. They claim their rapid
increase is due to the fact that they
plead for restoration of New Testa-
,ment teaching, faith and practice and
the realization of Christian union
Though an American church they have
quite strong representation in for
eign countries, some $4,000 being in
British dominions.
They have eighteen colleges in the
United States with over two million
dollars of endowment, $500 students,
900 of them preparing for the min
istry. In the eighty years of their
existence as a brotherhood they have
reached the point of contributing $780,
900 for various missionary interests
apart from their regularly organized
agencies. Over 100000 were con-
tributed during this year to their
schools and other ,benevolences.

MuzzIine for Rabies.

Occasionally farm animals are at.
fected by rabies, and in nearly all
such cases the trouble is traceable to
some rabid dog that has bitten the
animals. Doubtless it would be i'm
possible in the rural districts to en-
force the muzzling of all CANNES. Per
haps it is not as necessary in the coun-
try as in the city. But in the cities
at least the effect of muzzling has been
very good, as well in the United States
as in Europe. 1t is interesting to note
the conflict over this ordinance in
England. Several hundred cases OF
rabies each year led the English au-
thorities to look into the matter. They
found evidences to prove that the
disease was caused largely by rabid
dogs biting other dogs and animals.
Muzzling of all dogs was reported to
be the only means of preventing the
spread of the disease. Laws were
passed making muzzling compulsory
The number of cases of rabies in 1889
was 312. The law went into effect at
the end of that year. In 1890 the
number of cases had decreased to
129; the next year they fell to 79,
and in 1892 decreased still further to
3S. But the opposition to muzzling
was SO determined that the practice
was discontinued. The result was
a steady increase of the disease dur
ing the following years. In 1893 there
were SO cases; in 1894, 24S cases; 1895,
672 cases. At this point the public
alarm had become so great that muz-
zling was again enforced. The num-
ber of cases in 1896 were 43S; in
1897, Isl; in 1898, II, and in 1899, 9.
From November, 1899, to March 80.
1900, no case of rabies was reported
in England, and it was believed that
the disease had been exterminated in
England. We have at hand no report
showing rabies in the last three years.
The record made there was certainly,
a remarkable one and seems to DEM
onstrate quite clearly the value of
muZZling. Whether after the disease
was exterminated in locality it
would be necessary to continue muz-
zling we do not know. 1t does, how
ever, seem reasonable to believe that
in localities where there has been an
outbreak of the disease, muzzling
should be universally adopted for >
time at least.

their rooms as quickly as possible and
then proceeded to meet old, or form
new acquaintances.
The proceedings proper began with
the meeting of the Christian Woman's
Board of Missions, which is the wom-
ans missionary organization of the
Christian church. This society was
organized in 1S47 for worldwide mis-
sionary education and evangelization
and has, therefore, missions in both
lone and foreign lands. Its fields are
united States, Jamaica, Porto Rico.
Mexico and India. Its national head
quarters are at Indianapolis. 1t has
in thirty-seven states about $4,000
auxiliaries, with a membership of 37,-
900, fifty young ladies' circles, 416 mis-
sion bands, 1,940 Junior Societies Of
Christian Endeavor, and 226 Interme-
diate Societies. 1t publishes monthly
the Missionary Tidin9s" with circu-
lation of $4,000, and the Junior Build
ers," a paper for little folks. 1t is en-
tlrely Independent of the other mis-
sionary organizations of the church,
appointing and sending out it's own
missionaries and raising and expend1ng
its own money. Last year its receipts
were $139,0O0, besides several thou
sands raised for state development. 1t
sustains wholly or in part 119 mis-
siOnary pastors, eyangelists and teach
ers in the United States; it has forty
three missionaries and associate mis-
sionaries, beside native helpers in In
dia; sixteen in Jamaica; eleven in
Mexico; two in Porto Rico. To the
three fields last mentioned, six new
workers have just sailed. Its forms of
work in foreign fields are preaching,
village work, hospital, school, orphan
age, colpastorage and leper. 1t had
the honor of opening the first Protes-
tant orphanage in Porto Rico. A unique
feature of its work is the provision
it has made for teaching the Bible in
connection with the state universities.

and has sent a thrill of enthusiasm
through the whole denomination.
Like the Foreign the American
Christian Missionary Society presented
a fine report through it's hard working
secretary, Brother BENJAMIN F. Smith
The fifty-third annual report of the
National Convention at Detroit states
that among% those who entered into
rest during the past year were T. D.
Garvin of California, ]. H. Lockwood,
Ohio; E. F. Mahon, Indiana. and
Charles P. Williamson of Virginia.
The board has supported 339 mission
aries, gain of IS over last year, work
being done in every state, in Canada,
Manitoba, the Maritime Provinces and
Porto Rico. Those received into the
churches by confession of faith and
baptism number 6,951, while 1858
others joined the membership. If we
add to this the work done by the
State Boards of Missions, we have the
grand total of missionaries employed.

sionary effort, 25.4eo; churches organ

total of 2,06O churches made offerings

The report then reviews the mission

territories of the country. In 1873 the

Change in Shire Type.

Now as regards Shire horses,
think there has been quite as great
an improvement in the last thirty
years as in C1ydesdales. The type of
Shires that won at London show twen-
ty years ago would have no chance
now, the refining process being most
marked in this breed. This improve
ment has been brought about partly
by the organization of the Shire Horse
Society and it's annual shows, accom-
panied by veterinary inspection, but
principally through the efforts of
mere handful of progressive breeders
who, to tell the truth, took their cue
from the Scotch breeders and have
been endeavering all these years to
remedy the defective limbs and feet
and faulty hook action of the massive
English horses. The average Shire
BILE persfstency that the more bone
and hair he can produce the better
the animal, but this claim is by no
means confirmed either by the show
rings or the market, unless the animal
possesses considerable quality and ac-
tivity. 1t is frequently found that the
extremely strengthened, heavy-legged
horse, whether Clyde or Shire, has q
distinct element of softness in his
composition, is phlegmatic in tempera-
ment and is neither so active nor SO
enduring as the horse with less hair
and fine skin. How often have we
seen big, rough horses that when
three years old looked like six, and
when. six looked like sixteen, if they
happened to be alive. Such horses
never have been and never can be
popular in the United States.-A1ex-

Get Good Sheep.

A mistake often made by farmers
who start in with small flock Of
sheep to act as scayengers is to buy
anything that any one may choose to
call a sheep, has a little wool on its
back and will eat weeds, and then to
treat them as meanly as their appear
ance seems to deserve. This does not
pay. Good blood, individual merit
and good care are as necessary for
profitable sheep raising as with any
other kind of stock Buy few good,
pure-bred, registered sheep of any one
of half a dozen of the standard breeds,
treat them right, and they will 90 the
handsome thing by you. They VIII
earn their keep during the summer
by destroying weeds, but they must
have good care and feed during the
winter. Where considerable number
of sheep are required and pure-breds
cannot be tLtained at satisfactory
prices, good grade ewes will do. but
a pure-bred ram should be used-J-
w. Wilson.

their rapid growth. During the fiscal

Missouri,s Example.

The University of Missouri is GER
tainly doing a most excellent work in
it's efforts to disseminate agricultural
information throughout the rural
schools of that state. Every year
a teachers summer school is held at
which the teacher-students are given
instruction in agriculture and horti-
culture At least 5000 children in
Missouri are learning this year these
subjects because of the instruction
given to teachers at Columbia during
the past summer. The Department of
Education of the state is preparing to
work with the College of Agriculture
in introducing the study of agriculture
and horticulture into the public
schools. 1t is claimed that in this
work the University of Missouri is
not only leading the state, but the
nation as well. 1t is certainly making
a first-class experiment on a magni-
ficent scale. 1t is demonstrating
what can be done in this line Dur
ing recent years the policy of the men
at the head of that institution has
been broad, and energy has been
shown in putting it into practice. The
fruition OF the work Is being already
seen in Missouri and the example il
being felt in other states.

Of 1877 East l23d street and Henry G. Moore
Of 121 West Eleventh street. Mr.. McLaugh
lin said he wanted a little fresh air and would

He seemed to be in some distress after
walking a few blocks, and leaned on Mr..
Moores arm. At White street his hat blew

Mr.. Mclaughlin was "a years old and was
born in Virginia. He was young lawyer
in Baltimore when. in 1873, he met John
Kelly, then leader OF Tammany Hall. Kelly
made Mclaughlin his private and conf
dental secretary, which post Mclaughlin
held for twelve years. Mr.. Kelly afterward
made him Deputy County Clerk. and after
serving one term he was app Jinted Deputy
Register. This was in january, 1881, and
Mclaughlin held the place until June %,
1885, when he was removed by Register
John Reilly.
Reilly did not remove Mclaughlin until
tho power Of Kelly had waned, Shortly
before this, Mclaughlin had issued volu-
minous book entitled .The Life Of John
Kelly, the Tribune of the People, 1t was
said that some of the things brought out
in this book were not pleasing to Reilly
and other Tammany leaders,
In 1888 Mr. Mclaughlin got his place in
