TOO OLD TO PREACH,
BUT NOT FOR TRADE
Dismissed Pastor Earned Living With
Hammer and Saw at Work Bench

PHILADELPHIA, Pa. Sept. 26.-Al-
though he was dismissed from the pas
torate of the Lutheran Church of the
Reformation, Carlisle and Ontario
streets, to make way for younger
man, Rev. H C. Shindle has proved
that he is not too old to earn his bread
by doing the hardest kind Of carpenter
work. -
After the faithful pastor had said
his words of farewell on the evening
of Sept. 27, last year, in the church
he had been foremost in making, he
went to an humble home at 742 Nc
Knight street, Reading. He had not
been able to save anything from the
small salary he had been receiving, and
work was imperative. Then it was
that he turned to the trade of his mas
ter. that he had learned in boyhood.
All winter he worked with hammer
and saw, and made living for himself
and his devoted wife.
When summer came he filled the pull
pit Of st. Matthews church, Reading,
in the absence of Rev. Mr.. Black. Now
that this pastor has returned, the aged
apostle Of the saw his returned to the
toll which promises to be his portion
during the remainder of his declining
years.

ROCK ISLAND SEEKS
4 WESTERN OUTLET
Officers Attempt to Seek Con-
tfofof Colorado s Southern
and Subsidiaries

The Rock Island in all probability
will make another attempt this week
to secure control of the Colorado &
Southern, and through it the Colorado
Midland, which is small bit Of a road
oIpmencing at Denver and ending out
in the desert west Of Leadville. The
terminal point of the Midland is Grand
Junction.
Word to this effect was brought to
town yesterday by two of the members
of President L. F. Loree's party, who
left the officials at Denver.
The possibilities involved in the deal,
should it be consummated, are much
greater than they appear on the face.
For several years the Rock Island has
been branching out southwark and
westward, and at present has line
into Ell Paso, Tex, which is west of
the meridian line of New Mexico.
The road also goes into Denver, but
the matter of eastbound freight out of
Colorado on account of It's lack of feed
ers in that section
The Grand Junction country is fine
for fruit raising in spite Of its alkali
and most forbidding appearance. and
the chance is opened for the road to
extend further west either to Salt Lake
City or by swinging southwark through
Utah to connect with one Of the dreamy
proposed roads into California.
The members of President Loree's
party who were here held to the opin-
ion that the present deal would be sue
cessfully made and the other would
follow within three years as matters of
course

HIT MAN IN MIRROR;
is BADLY WHIPPED
Toner Struck Supposed Burglar in ParIor
Terrific Whack

-
PHILADELPHIA. Pa, Sept. 26-After a
desperate battle with himself in mir
ror, James Toner is in the Episcopal hos
pital, badly thrashed by his own image.
Toner lives at 1927 East Somerset street.
He went home shortly after midnight
yesterday morning and was amazed to
see a dim light in the parlor. Entering
the house noiselessly, he stole into the
parlor and glanced about for a possible
burglar. Suddenly he was confronted by
a man who appeared to be staring at
Toner as intently as Toner was staring at
him.
He made a rush for the intruder, who
started forward with equal alacrity to
meet the attack. Both men struck stimuli
taneously, and there was a crash that
brought Mrs. Toner out of bed in an in
slant.
The frightened wife ran downstairs and
discovered that her husband had cut a
small artery in his right wrist. There
wasn't enough left of the mirror to make
a pocket lookingglass.

SQUINTS TOWARDS
RECIPROCITY
Senator Lodge condescends to Talk
Around the Subject

NEWTON, Mass, Sept. 26.-Senator
Henry Cabot Lodge was the guest Of
the Newton club at a dinner tonight.
He made speech in which he said:
Every one is in favor Of reciprocity
or any other policy which will enlarge
our foreign markets, provided that
such reciprocity or other similar poll
icy does not involve greater sacri-
flee than the proposed enlargement Of
the foreign market is worth. Either
the Democrats do not favor reciproc-
ity or they do not favor reduction of
duties, because the two together are
impossible and Incompatible. I should
be glad to vote for reciprocity treaty
with Canada Or any other country
which was beneficial to our business
interests, not injurious to American in
dustry, agriculture or labor. But there
is no use in shutting our eyes to the
practical difficulty which the history
of these treaties discloses. The Demo-
cratic party for fifty years has done
nothing in regard to reciprocity except
abrogate the Blaine treaties. 1t never
can do anything because it is in princi-
pie the party Of free trade and tariff
reduction, and without tariff of a
protective character reciprocity cannot
exist"

NEW YORK, Sept 26.-More than 100
of the delegates to the interparliamentar
congress attended reception. at the City
club tonight Flags of the eleven coun-
tries represented by the peace congress
were hung about the rooms, each being a
center about which delegates from that
was the foreign consul from that nation
Mayor Mcclellan welcomed the delegates
on behalf of the city Of New York
Wheeler III. Peckham, president of the
club, made an address. Richard Bar
tholdt responded for the parliamentary
party. Il slsSet
: The gavel used by President Peckham
was a historical one. 1t was used at the
689th anniversary of. the signing of magma
charta by King John of England; by the
presiding officer of the joint meeting of
the senate and house of representatives,
which invited this years meeting of the
rterparliamentary congress to America;
was used on the Tooth anniversary of the
freedom of the press in Hungary; on the
Tooth anniversary of the birth of the
French republic and of the fail of the
Bastile; on the 6o0th anniversary of the
Swiss federation; at the centennial of
the adoption OF the constitutional form of
government in Poland; at the organization
in 1890 in Washington of the Daughters Of
the American Revolution; at the centen-
NAL of the Inauguration of Washington in
Fraunces tavern in New York, when the
Sons of the Revolution was organized, and
by President Richard Bartholdt at the
late meeting in ST. Louis.
Mr.. Bartholdt, in his address, declared
that there was no partisanship in the
Union. 'It is true" he continued, "that
Republican president has called the
second conference to meet at The Hague,
but I, as a Republican, am willing to adj
NIT that had Democrat been president
he would have done thessame thing. All
parties are in favor OF. arbitration and
peace among men,. The time has come
when not only the people Of the, United
States but of all monarchies Of Europe
will have to be consulted before war is
declared sae
w. Randal-Cremer, who was the origi-
nator Of the union, said that seven
years ago the union tried to get treaty
of arbitration between the United States
and Great Britain
'.That glorious opportunity was lost to
your country by three votes in the sem
+ ate, said Mr.. Cremer. Since then we
have been able to get treaties of arbitra-
ton between different countries, thanks
to the monarch who now sits on the Eng
lish throne, and we have come to the
United States to see what we can do. We
have from the lips Of your president a
promise from which he cannot withdraw,
and do not believe that he would If he
could, that he will call a second confer
ence at The Hague to give the United
States a chance to complete the work that
has been begun. If your own king should
have the honor to work with your presi-
dent in completing the work for the peace
of the world, at the conference that has
been called, am sure that he would
gladly do so.''

was afterwards conceded would have
placed the party in the state in a sim
liar position with that Of the Wiscon-
sin Republicans.
He was during the period of Gov.
Van SAINTS first administration his
closest friend and political adviser,
and 1T was due in large measure to
him that the state board of control
was created. Appointed a member of
commission by Gov. Van SAINT to in
vestigate similar boards in neighbor-
ing states, on the passage of the law
he was named as chairman of the
board. He served only about nine
months, when he sustained fall in
narrow stairway in the third story of
. the state capitol which fors a time
threatened his life. The manner OF
his fall he could never satisfactorily
explain, and in view of his sudden
death yesterday it is now thought that
nary to the late and final stroke. He
recovered his health in quite meas
ure when he had resigned from the
board and returned to his home at
Winona, where he resumed the prac-
tice of his profession.
Gov. Van SAINT was notified by tele-
phone last night of Mr.. Morey's death.
He was a brave, strong man. the
governor said, "and his ability and
strength OF character there is none to
dispute. His influence in state edu-
cational matters was for the best, and
what he believed in, Mr.. Morey was
always willing to strenuously contend

SALTWATER

The Lunlbermen's Board of Trade
or saltwater last spring awarded a
contract to Sven Magnuson, of Ma
rlne to pick up all sunken or dead
mead logs between Taylors Falls and
Saltwater, and being unable to COM
psete the work alone he sublet part
of the contract to other parties Sew
erai of the latter had prize marks re-
corded with the surveyor general of
logs and lumber and began their work.
Few prize logs were found, but day
or two ago George H. Atwood, who is
saving the deadheads at his B mill,
found number of them going
through. He Investigated and found
that the logs not only bore the prize
mark, but had the mark of the origi-
nal owner on the reverse side His
find caused quite a stir among loggers,
who did not know how far the prac-
tice had reached, and when the mat
ter was brought to the attention Of
the board of trade an order was is
sued stopping several of the crews
| that had taken part contracts from
continuing their work. Mr.. Magnu-
son had no knowledge of what was
going on, neither had he filed a prize
| mark The act is punishable by i'm
| prisonment, but whether or not any
| cOgnizance of it will be taken by the
board of trade remains to be seen.
| Some of the parties owning the marks
that appeared at the mill insist that
| they were acting in good faith and
that they had not discovered the orig
| inal mark when their prize mark was
put on them. A well known logger
| said yesterday: "These men who have
| stolen the logs that were found at At
woods mill may be innocent of theft,
] but On the face of it it looks bad, and
I believe that an investigation should

/ taken many logs, they get paid for
picking them up and there is no rea-
son why they should not be satisfied

on it, but when they get to marking

Lady curzon,s Condition Grave

WALMER CASTLE, Eng, Sept.
27-The oxygen treatment of Lady
Curzon is being continued, but the
oxygen is administered in less guam
tity and the patient is taking nourish-
ment better. Lord Curzon, for the
first time in week, ventured out for
a walk on the sea front yesterday.
Arrangements have been made to
keep Mrs. Letter, who is a passenger
on the steamer Vaderland, informed
by wireless telegraph of the condition
of her daughter.
Though Lady Curzon passed quiet
night and there are slight signs of
Improvement, her condition is still
very grave. The nurses are said to
be fairly able to keep up Lady Cur
IONS strength, while the oxygen treat
ment is proving helpful. If a relapse
can be prevented within the next

NEWS OF THE CITY
RUNDLFTT'S CREW
CUTS PHONE WIRES
City Engineer Makes Good His
Threat to Clear Hague
Avenue

1t is likely that the Twin City Tefe-
phone company will sue the city to collect
for the damage done by the city engineer
yesterday in removing the telephone wires
between Victoria and Lexington.
Naturally said l.. L.. G.. Brooks, pres
ident of the company, when questioned
''the company will not abandon its rights
and franchises. 1t may be that nothing
can be done, but whatever it is to be the
company,S line of procedure will be mark
ed out very shortly. I cannot say whether
or not suit will be entered against the
city this week.
At few minutes after o'clock yester-
day afternoon the city engineer, in charge
of the wrecking crew of twenty men, be-
gan taking down the wires of the Twin
City company, but insisted that the work
men should preserve all the property pos
sible.
Wires Come Down
The appearance of the workmen, headed
by the city engineer, attracted consider
able attention on the part of the people
living in the vicinity, put there was no
open opposition on the part of the tele-
phone company One scheme of saving
wire was to cut it between two poles,
fastening one end to post and attaching
the different wires of the other end to
the Spokes of the wheel of wagon that
had been raised from the ground that it
might turn. The whirling of the wheel re-
suited in the wire being wound into ca
bic. Other loose wires were wound by
hand and the entire result placed on va
cant lots, where the interested company
is expected to call for it. The work of
taking down the wires was not completed
during the afternoon, thirty-six of the
telephones remaining in service when 6
o'clock arrived.
1.-The question of putting in a conduit
four months,'' explained Mr.. Rundlett,
'and it has been impossible to secure
from the company proposition as to
when the wires would be placed under
ground. 1 expected that they would come
in at the last minute and enter into an
agreement as to when the work would be
done, but as they failed to do this there
was but one course left open to me.
Poles Suffer Today
''The wires will all be removed today
and the poles will be chopped down to-
morrow. The property of the company is
being saved to the best of my ability, al
though it would have been possible,
doubtless, for the company to have done a
much better job. 1t is not my purpose to
persecute the company, but it seems that
1t has determined to make a monkey of
the city council and myself, and do not
propose to tolerate such a course"
This is the first instance in the history
of late years where the authorities of ST.
Paul have used the power to remove tel
ephone or telegraph poles.
