gathered in the Bethesda building, and
becoming convinced that the rain would
continue and the speakers expected
would not arrive. decided that an in
formal celebration would be in order.
Rev. a. NJ. Williams invited the peo-
pie to assemble in the west dormitory,
which had been prepared with seats,
and in a few words told the reason of
the gathering. He then read a por-
ton of a letter from Bishop Goodsell,
in which he expressed the greatest re-
greet at not being able TO attend the
celebration and deliver the address
promised.
This was followed by the singing of
hymn, the music being led by piano
and cornet. Prayer was offered by
Rev. j. O. A. Cook and then Rev. w.
a. Huckabee. was introduced and made
a short talk. This was largely direct
ed to the boys, who were all seated in
the room and gave full attention. Mr..
Huckabee said that John Wesley was
one of three great men, and combined
in his personality the talents and pow
ers of Moses. the greatest of lawmak-
ers and Paul, the worlds greatest the
olOgian.
Bishop Galloway was then introduced
and made very interesting address.
1t was entirely without preparation,
and was perhaps more of Wesley than
on the subject which had been expect
ed Wesley and WHITEHEAD" The life
and character of Wesley was dilated
upon and the speaker contended that
he was carefully guarded by Providence
through many trials and Affections and
preserved to a ripe old age that he
might continue his work, which when
viewed as a whole was nothing short
of marvellous. Even in his friends
Wesley was favored, and the friend
ship of George WHITEHEAD was argued
to have been of the greatest value.
In conclusion, Bishop Galloway spoke
of his visit to the spot where had stood
Pilates hall, and then going down be-
meath the building thereon he had
pressed the stones that were believed
to have formed the floor upon which
Christ had passed, the via doloroso."
Standing in Bethesda he felt that here
also he was upon sacred soil, and
would fain touch some tree or stone
that had felt the hand of Whitefeld.
These exercises were concluded with
the benediction by Rev DR.. Fullwood
of Jacksonville Fla.

Young Woman Gives Herself
Up, Confessing Murder
of a Man.

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, July 26.-
A young woman giving the name of
Mrs. Aurora Hodge, her age nineteen,
and her home Denison, Iowa, entered
the office of Superintendent of Police
Carr today and said she wanted to
give herself up, declaring she had
killed man near Salt Lake, Titan, IN
July last. She said she had parted
from her husband a few months after
their marriage, and went on the road
with travelling medicine yender as
his bookkeeper.
"When on a lonely road near Salt
Lake, July H. she said, he attempted
to assault me, and l shot him with a
revolver I had been carrying. l left
him in the wagon and went to Salt
Lake to give myself up, but my nerve
failed and I took train for Denison.
I told my brother, and when he went
to tell the authorities fled to Chicago.
There I secured position as waitress
in a Spring Lake, Mich, hotel, but
could not rest with it on my mind, so
1 came to Grand Rapids to give myself
up"
Mrs. Hodge refused to tell the name
of the man she killed. Chief carr is
Investigating and the woman is IN
Jail.
A telegram late tonight from Acting
Chief Police Burbridge, Of Salt Lake,
confirms Mrs. Hodges story, stating
that there is a warrant for her arrest
for murder, and asks that she be held
for the Salt Lake authorities.

from a train at the Ajax mine and was
dashed over a precipice, after passing
through the magazine of the Ajax COM
pany, whose four walls were crushed
like an egg shell. The people are now
wondering how the entire district was
not wiped off the face of the earth, as
the magazine contained twelve tons of
dynamite. Charles Clever, the brake
man, stuck to his post, and was borne
900 feet on the roof, which was hurled
down the gulch by the impact. Seven
men were in the magazine at the time,
but failed to hear the warning cries
until it was too late.

Rainfall was not well distributed,
there being some excess through the

in some districts serious deficiency in
the Ohio valley, Missouri and Southern

STRIKERS RESPECT
JUDGE CRAY'S ORDER.
Postoffice Laborers Who Quit
Work Careful Not to
Give Offense.

There is nothing to indicate that there
will be a speedy settlement of the strike
of workmen= employed on the postoflcc
and there is a possibility that the work
on the addition will be delayed for sew
eral weeks.
H N. Leighton, who has the contract
for the remodeling of the federal building,
said last evening that he had not seen
any of the strikers and ne did not know
where to go to find any of them even II
he wanted to make any concessions look
ing towards a settlement of the difficulty.
Contrary to the general custom when
strikes are inaugurated, the strikers have
no strike committee or any headquarters
where they can be found. AleXander's
hall, which is the unionists' headquarters,
and the place strikers usually congregate
Immediately after a strike has been inau-
gurated, was deserted all day.
The men are purposely avoiding any
meeting of the strikers in order not to
violate Judge Crays injunction and be
held in contempt of court.
The strike is attracting more than usual
attention as it is the first which has been
declared since the Cray injunction was
handed down.
When the injunction was granted many
of the labor leaders, laughed at the idea
of a strike restraining order from the
court and made the statement that the
unions could carry strike to a successful
issue in spite of the injunction.
AS far as redress in the courts is con-
cerned, there is very little to be had for
the contractors in the federal building
strike. The strikers have been mindful
of the terms of the injunction and they
have apparently gotten around all of
them safely.
The strikers will not discuss the situa-
ton at all. They deny that strike was
declared, avowing that they simply quit
their jobs because they did not choose to
work with non-union men.
The recognition. of the unions is the one
issue of the strikers. No other enters
into the trouble. The men are satisfied
with their treatment. hours and wages
but they say they will not work on a joh
where non union men are employed.
