HOW THE WORK OF THE GREAT
SOCIETY Is DONE.
The Business ABILITY and Untiriug
Devotion to Principle shown by
OMcialS-LeadfnsM Men In the Penn
sylvania and New York Unions,

J sy1vnnin and New York Unions.
Few aside from those engaged in the
work know the large amount of busi-
ness ability and untiring devotion to
principle and an ideal that are put into
, the management of state Christian
| Endeavor union. a glimpse Of two Of
| the largest in the country, New York
and Pennsylvania, will give the read
| er some idea of it.
The New York State Christian En-
deavor union had its formal beginning
| in a convention held In Syracuse on
Nov. 8 and 10. 1886, at which Rev. Dr.
Howard B. Grose was chosen state
president and Mr.. NJ. A. Hudson state
secretary. The records compiled in Ju-
| ly Of that year show membership Of
1.4O0. The last annual report Of the
| union gave a total of 2,l34 societies,
with membership of S5.641.
The state union is entirely dependent
i for its support upon the generosity of
: individual societies. for it levies no
taxes and has no dues Usually once
each year it addresses letter to each
society in the state and asks for free
will offering for the carrying on Of its
work. and then it plans its efforts In
proportion to the responses received.
Of the eighteen busy men and women
who increasingly carry on its multi
! tude of activities not one of them re-
ceives a penny of compensation. No
like organiZat;c:l has performed so
much at so slight expense as the New

minister of foreign affairs on whose
diplomatic skill the car relies to keep
peace with Japan. has been connected
with his department for more than
thirty-five years and is looked upon as
an adept in the art of diplomacy His
present task has been most difficult
owing to Russia's determination to
firmly maintain her position and at the

When Count Lamsdorff was appoint

I observed a locomotive in the

the journey, it was coaled and
fully manned, it had a box the
fremen was filling full of sand.
1t appears that locomotives can
not always get grip on their
slender iron pavement, because
the wheels are apt to slip; and
when they reach slippery spot
their tactics they command, and to
get a grip upon the rail, they
springle on the sand.
It's about this way with travel
along life slippery track, if your
load is rather heavy and you're al
ways slipping back; so if a COM
mon locomotive you completely un-
derstand you'll provide yourself
in starting with a good supply of
sand.
If your track is steep and billy
and you have a heavy grade, and
if those who've gone before have
the rail quite slippery made, if you
ever reached the summit of the
upper table land, you'll find you
will have to do it with a good sup
ply of sand.
You may get to any station that
is on life's schedule seen, if there's
fire beneath the boiler of ambitions

a place called Flushtown at a rate
of speed that's grand, if for all the
slippery places, you've good sup

Texas under the new law would
admit Of some r4formatory meas

the expense of holding elections i'll

ing this increase is the printing of
such a large number of ballots in
excess of the. number of voters. III

STOCK TRADING
 WAS L|STLESS Market Moved HesitatingIt Throughout Session LARGE INCREASE IN LOANS Early Trading Showed Disposition to Carry Prices Upward In Spite of
 Free Selling of Steel
 Preferred.

New York, January 20.-Trading in stocks was listless today and the changes in prices were trivial. The market moved hesitatingly throughout the session, but closed heavy at practically the lowest. The early trading showed a disposition to carry prices upwards in spite of free selling of United States Steel preferred, and dlscouraging opinions current over the iron and steel outlook. Prices gave way after the publication of the bank statement.
 The changes in the various items were not fully up to last weeks unprecedented records, but the increase in loans last week with but one other exception has never before been eaualed and the in- crease in deposits never before with last weeks single exception. The loan item of the clearing house banks is now close to the billion dollar mark.
 The New York banks are putting large funds into commercial paper from inter- for points, and large loans have been rapid browth of the loan account Is re- garded as sound and safe. It is pointed out that the increase of banking reserves last year came to halt in the last week of January, while the loan expansion proceeded from that time to February 21 to the extent of $7O,OOO, GOO. From Feb ruary to March 14 last year the New York banks lost over $30000,000 cash and the surplus in the same period declined $27, 800 These conditions and preee- dents are force in causing halt in the speculative movement in stocks. For eign influences today were slight but were favorable to higher prices.
