CALL A WOMAN PASTOR.
Christian Church at Goidfield Will Try
Lady

Clarion, March 16.-The members of
the Christian church at Goldfield have
extended call to Rev. Carrie Hoffman
of Perry, and she has accepted. Lady
evangelists and their work are quite
well known in this part of the state.
but the employment of lady as resi-
dent pastor Is decided innovation and
one that will be watched with interest.
1t is said the chief motive that impelled
the Goldf1eld congregation in employing
a woman was the fact that they were
unable to secure a preacher from the
sterner sex who would remain with
them any lenth of time. The church
is small and consequently the salary
paid is not of the best. 1t seemed to be
the luck of the church that when they
secured an acceptable pastor, and
about the time he became acquainted
with the people. another church want
ed him and held out better induce
ments in the way of salary. This con-
tinued for several years, when finally
the congregation concluded to try
lady and see If she were possessed of
better staying qualities than her mas
culine predecessors.

eral Davis believed to be a thing for
great considerations The nature OF
the work would attract the rougher or
criminal classes. The total cost Of
administering the government after
preliminary expenses had been met
would amount to s1.000,000, according
to the belief of General Davis.
Leaving out the question Of police,
General Davis said that coolie labor
would be the most economical in the
building Of the canal. He thought the
zone and the cities Of Panama and
Colon could be made as healthful as
Havana or other tropical countries, and
that the health of Americans necessa~.
lily need not suffer. altho Americans
would not do the work of laborers
there. The prevailing wages on the
canal now, he said, were from Sc to so
cents day.
Professor Burr member of the for
mer commission. declared tnat he con-
Cured with everything General Davis
had said. Professor Burr will continue
his statement today.
