REV. W. W. BUSTARD.
Former Brown Athlete Spoke at First Bap-
fist Church Last Night

Rev. w. w. Bustard. formerly captain
OF the Brown baseball team and all-round
athlete. who was graduated In 1895, now
pastor OF the second largest Baptist
church in New England dudley street,
Boston, made an interesting ADDRESS 10
a large audience In the First Baptist ves-
try last evening.
The Importance OF Little Things was
his subject. He took for his text, John
did no miracles" John X. Al. and he
began his address by saying that every
mans work Is born with him. and that
each man must do his own work. or none
will be done.
Continuing. he said: Jesus worked
miracles. as did some OF His disciples.
and their work was important. But John
never worked any miracle. but IL lis evil
dent for all that that his work was Just
as important TO the building up of Christ s
kingdom as was that OF any other dis
ciple John did all that he was asked to
do and that was enough.
Every mans work is circumscribed.
| no man can do everything, but each
| OF US can do something. What every
man should do Is to find out that work
that he can accomplish best. and then
| work and work until he has acquired
skill in that special task beyond the
| skill OF anybody else. Because some per-
sons are unable TO do great things plainly
they do not realize the Importance OF the
| little things OF life
There are two kinds OF virtues. the
active and the passive There is humil'
ity and peacefulness always with the peo-
pie who have the passive virtues.
Although our life may be made ur

There would not be so many divorces q
people could learn that the common
Vii tues are but the result OF the swee
courtesies OF homely living. There ar,
many people who are willing TO do thu
great things but they forget that they
are not given the credit for their at
tempts. for somebody Is always ready
10 say that they are working for effec

cleared the tracks OF the Hartford Div1s-
ion OF the New York. New Haven and
Hartford railroad in the CEDAR hpl
freight yard. at the point where the
White Mountain express ran into
freight train shortly before midnight Sat
urday night,
The express was going at 4o-mile clip
and the force OF the collision was such
that the engine plowed through five cars,
climbed up on a loaded coal car ana
rolled over on the west bound track INTO
the meadows below, where II sank up ID
the smokestack In mud.
Right after the trains came together
a brakeman in the express ran down the
west-bound track and tagged the Hart
ford accommodation train so that 1t
stopped within 100 feet OF the wreck.
The point where the collision occurred
is In a dismal part or the ROAD ana IL
was some time before the wrecking train
could get to the spot.
In the meantime passengers hunted Tor
the engineer and fireman. The engineer
was unearthed finally in the mud where
the engine had settled and his hand was
crushed beyond recognition. The fre-
man was found In the meadows. where
he had been hurled from the engine. Ills
first words were: "Is Jimmy hurt?' re-
ferring 10 Mcintosh. He was taken 10
the hospital.
For several hundred feet freight was
scattered all about the rails. A pianola
was found torn from it's box and stood
upright in the meadows.
The engine in leaving the track struck
a telegraph pole. breaking II OF at tne
ground as clean as II IL had been felled.
Both tracks were blocked all night. no
trains being able TO get through until
nearly daybreak. The west-bound track
was so badly torn UP that over 100 feet
will have TO be rebuilt.
Several railroad men said that the sig
nails showed a clear track for the express.
although Engineer Allen OF the freight
declared that the signals were set against
the express.

Bureau OF Forestry had last summer
at Los Angeles four of its experts, max

at the end of September. The idea is
to convert q waste piece of land into q
productive forest, which will not only
pay for It's creation and care through
the sale of mature timber, but will
prove constant source of pleasure
ana recreation for the citizens of Los
Angeles. 1t is an entirely practical

Will Tram White Servants.

Richmond Times-Dispatch
SO complex has the servant girl
question become here that q mass
meeting of the ladies of Richmond
was held today in the basement of Cen
tenary Methodist church to devise
some method of dealing with it.
The chief grievance was that it is
impossible to get negro servant who
can do the work she agrees to do. 1t
was further averred that it became ne
cessary several times a week to rise
early in the morning to take the place
OF the hired girl who failed to appear.
No one knew just how to deal with
the question, but finally one suggested
the formation OF society or club. This
plan was adopted with avidlty, and
the foundation laid for an effort to
train white girls to take the place Of
co'ored servants. The idea is to estab-
lish school of domestic science,
which the poorer class Of white girls
may attend free of charge. It is ex-
pected that they will gradually sup
plant the negroes.

Disregard Of the Sabbath.

Apex News.
A growing tendency to disregard
the sanctity of the Sabbath has I'M
fortunately begun to pervade even
the rural districts. Fer some tine
the sound OF the Church bells and the
sight of the people going to and from
church have been the only reminders
that differentiate Sunday from other
days in many large cities. Absolute
disregard of Sabbath observance
means a blow at the foundation OF
our liberties as a people. How to
preserve the sabbath is problem
which not only concerns the Church,
but our Republic IS we'll. Although
tie law has spoken decidedly in
this regard, there is an apathy In the
execution of i:'s mandates that rem
ders 1t almost OF no effect indeed, the
law cannot preserve Sunday to US.
The people must realize not only is
economic, but its religious import
and then by sheer force Of preponder-
ance tho institution will live and
flourish.
