President C. S. Jobes of the Amer lean National Bank of Kansas
 City in St. Louis.
HE RELATES HIS EXPERIENCE
 WITH NEW YORK MONEY SHARES.
They Turned Him Down Hard on His Proposition For n Slice of the Philippine Bond Issue, md Then He Jumped in and FrOze Them All Clean Out.

St. Louis, April 24-C. s. Jobes, pres ident of the American national bank of Kansas City, the man who seooped the New York bankers on the recent s3,000 900 issue of Philippine bonds, is in St. Louis, on his way home, and told how he slipped in his bid at Washing ton few minutes before offers were scheduled to close
 You can bet I didn't have much time to spare after hearing the ulti- matum of the New Workers in regard to my proposition to take $1O0 000 of the issue" he said laughingly. Had my train been behind time I would have missed my chance good and hard"
 MT. Jobe's story.
 Speaking of his achievement, MT. Jabes said:
 "l called upon my eastern con temporaries Thursday (April 14) and stated my case. saying that I needed 5000 worth of the Philippine issue for my institution. 1 was to have started for home that afternoon My train left at 3; 40 o'clock. They did not seem inclined to give me a chance to cut in, so I told them that if I could not get 5000 worth I might make a bid for the whole issue
 Yes, yes, MT Jomes: you say your train leaves at $40. Very well, sir. we hold a meeting at two o'clock. Call at three and perhaps the directors will decide to accommodate you somehow.
 Not Dollars Worth.
 ''I called at three o'clock" he con- tinued. but was informed that I could not get dollars worth of the issue. You see, MT Jobes. they said, we need every cents worth of the bonds and cant see our way to sell dollar worth of them. So sorry, don't you know. but it really cant be helped. Good-day, sir; good-day, sir
 There was only one thing left for me to do. That was bid for the whole issue.
 Judging from the attitude of the customers toward me, 1t was evident that they believed the bonds were all ready in their vaults. So boarded train for Washington. The bids were to be opened on Friday at 2:30 I ar rived shortly after two o'clock, and was the last bidder to submit an of fer'

people hold different views religion is by far the most prominent. In this free and enlightened land of ours, guar hundreds of different creeds and dog mas flourish under the protection of our laws. Religious freedom is<one of the great bulwarks of our liberties. We should cherish it, and in cherishing it not forget that the views, opinions, creeds or beliefs of others are entitled to as much respect, protection and con- sideration as our own.
 We welcome therefore to our city to- day a man whose ancestors have been closely connected with our religious life and who is well qualified by learning and experience to enlighten us upon the subject of Christian Science.
 take great pleasure in introducing to you William D. McCrackan, of Brooklyn, N. r, who will speak to us on the subject Christian Science and the Brotherhood of Man"
 MT. McCrackan's address was in part as follows:
 This term, Christian Science, is noth- ing short of an inspiration, for what, ask you, is the great conflict which is supposed to be before the world or ideas to-day, the irrepressible conflict, as it has sometimes been called? Is it not seeming conflict between revelation and reason, between Christianity and sci ence? The pulpit, the press and the university are constantly searching for fo, two fo tors. Earnest men, in their most earn est moments, are striving to reconcile them.
 Christian Science has discovered this common ground, and has effected this long sought reconciliation, by proving that there is no conflict between revela- ton and spiritual reason, and none be- tween Christianity and divine Science, but that the two coincide and are based, not on the evidence of physical sense, but on the higher evidence of spirit.
 Christian Science is showing that Christianity, in order to fulfill it's be- nign mission, must be understood to be truly scientific, and that the term Science must be applied to the orderly working of Gods laws and must, there fore, be essentially Christian in mean ing.
 The study of Christianity, and thus of Christian Science, properly begins with the study of God It will be read fly acknowledged that much depends upon the answer to the question: What is God?
 It is only beginning to dawn upon mankind at large how much depends upon this answer. While it has, per- haps, been generally conceded that mans attainment of holiness has de- pended upon this answer, it has not always been recognized that his true happiness also depends upon the same answer, still less that his very health mental, moral and physical-is affected favorably or adversely, according as God is understood to be Spirit and Love, as the Scriptures declare Him, or sup posed to be a god of wrath and vari- ableness, as the human mind has only too often imagined him.

Light on the Slocum Tragedy.

UP to 8 O'Clock last Wednesday
morning $50 bodies, victims of the
General Slocum disaster, had been
recovered where it :. foundered,
in He'll Gate, off New York City.
The morgue contains 90 of the 1876
unidentified dead. The recovery of
hundred bodies Tuesday was due
to the use of explosives which
caused the corpses to rise to the sur
face after several shots had been
fired. Sixteen bodies rose almost
simultaneously to the surface.
In memory of the Slocum's vic
Tins the Aldermanic chamber was
draped in mourning Tuesday, and
the entire city hall was draped
Wednesday.
Contributions to the relief fund
now aggregate about $4,000.
AT Coroner Berry's view into the
holocaust which followed the destruc-
tion of the General Slocum, Attorney
McManus, representing the Knicker-
booker Steamboat Company, owners
of the Slocum, announced that no
new life-preservers had been pur-
chased for the Slocum since 1895.
Assistant District Attorney Garvin
said he was satisfied with this ad.
mission, although the contention was
that none had been bought since 1891

Books OF Secretary CAN'T.

Columbia special to the News and
Courier says: For the past two
weeks there has been in the Secre
tary of States office an examining
committee, consisting of Senator
Butler and Representatives Rains
ford and Richard. This committee
was authorized at the last session of
the Legislature to examine the books
of this office, this being the first
year that included it. The committee
finished its work and in view of the
fact that there have been various re-
ports out as to their finding, made
the following statement: "The
committee has carefully gone over
the vouchers in the office am. has
nothing of a startling or sensational
nature to report: No final report
will be made until Mr.. CAN'T, who is
now i'll, can be seen and even then
the committee will not make the re.
port until the next session of the
General Assembly. This is required
by law. SO far as the general result
of the examination is concerned we
find that there has been no bookkeep.
ing, and our expert, Mr.. Hollis, of
Gaffney, has gone over those in the
office and carefully collected all the
vouchers, 80 that we now have a
complete record of every thing that
has passed through the hands of the
Secretary of State. The books were
checked up from January %, 1908,
when Mr.. CAN'T assumed the office,
and although we went back no
further, it is probable that those
from 1896 to that date should also
be gone over" The statement was
made to the newspaper men by re-
quest, and as yet no statel ent has
been made to Mr.. CAN'T. He is now
i'll at his residence here and under
the treatment of a physician for kid
ney trouble. When seen he said as
he had not seen any members of the
committee and knew nothing of the
matter officially, he, of course, could
make no statement. The committee
will probably notify him as soon as
he is able to be out.

Tho Cotton stalk Weeyll.

The "cotton stalk weevil," new
insect which has made it's appearance
in Georgia and is almost as danger
GUS as the boil weevil, according to
the Augusta Chronicle, does not ex-
ist in this State, 80 far as Section Di-
rector Bauer, of Columbia, is informed
end believes. Mr.. Bauer was shown
this clipping from the Augusta paper
Friday:
GA new insect, known as the cot.
ton stalk weevil, has make its appear
ance in Georgia, and is raising havoc
with the young cotton of Terrell
county. State Entomologist Will
mon Newell has just returned from
Dawson, where he made thorough
examination of the weevil and its
work, and he is now arranging for a
treatment of the cotton plants which
have been attacked by the insect and
for remedy that will completely
destroy it.
"The insect attacks the stem or the
stalk OF the cotton and nearly every
plant attacked dies very shortly af-
terwards. The farmers in Terrell
county are very much alarmed over
the appearance of the new kind of
bug. Entomologist Newell states that
he has never seen or heard of such
an insect before.
"The bug is almost as dangerous as
the boil weevil, as it destroys the
stalks of the cotton before the boil
weevil appears. If the insect should
scatter over the State as fast as it is
scattering in Terrell county it will be
a serious thing for the farmers to
contend with this year, and the cot
ton crop in Georgia will be mate
rally shortened.
"Entomologist Newell says he
will exert every effort to destroy the
insect before it makes a spread of
the State. He does not think the
boil weevil has as yet made it ap.
pearance in Georgia, but he regards
the new insect which has appeared
and which attacks young cotton
stalks as a very dangerous factor
and he is anxious to get rid of it as
soon as possible"
Mr.. Bauer thought after reading
the clipping that about the only thing
that could be calmly reported as hav-
ing been discovered was an excited
imagination of another Georgia
newspaper reporter. He was of the
opinion that the Georgia State Ento-
mologist's estimate of the impor-
tance of the subject had been very
materially changed and colored al
most beyond Identification after pre-
colating through the brain of the
newspaper man.
"Never heard of such an insect"
MIR. Bauer said. "There is no such
thing in this State, so far as | have
been informed and | don't believe
it exists in Georgia.
"lt will probably end like my new
hickory nut insect ended this week.
A correspondent in Charleston re-
ported the appearance there of a
new insect which he thought would
eventually put the hickory nut out
of business. | wrote him to hold
his base while he sent me up some
specimens of these terrible pests.
