WILL Be TENTATIVE UNION.
Two Presbyterian Church Congrega-
tons to Be United.

The tentative union of the First and
Cumberland churches is to be cOnsum-
mated on July /, when the two congre-
cations will be united into one Organi-
zation. This was finally decided last
night at a meeting of the First Pres
byterian church held in the study Of
the church. The proposition of form
ing the union had been previously
adopted by the Cumberland Presby-
terrain congregation. Both of the head
organizations of the two churches in
the United States have agreed to a
union and now it only remains for the
various presbyteries throughout the
nation to ratify the same, when the
union will be complete.
After July the services of the COM
bined congregations will be held in the
Brick" church, where Rev. Albert Dale
Gantz will officiate as pastor

capitalist told the story of his family S
separation. and of the existence of his
sister.
OF Cornelius Sullivan witnesses are
said to have been located who state
that John Sullivan sa d all trace had
been lost. This comedies with the
statement of Cornelius Sullivan and
Mrs. Nellie Hogan that Cornelius. the
youngest of the family, lost trace of his
relatives at the time of the civil war
when the Sullivans. who had settled
III Pennsylvania. became separated.
Cornelius at that time was still in Ire
land.
In his semiannual report as admin
iStratOr of the Sullivan estate. Terence
O'Brien states that the present valua
ton of the property both real and per-
sonal in his charge is $526,000. OF this
amount the real estate is estimated to
be worth more than $4,000.
The report was approved by Judge
Bell together with the expenditures
made by the administrator in the last
riod between May, 1903 and November
1904. The expenditures during this
time are placed at $4,000. while the re-
ceipts amounted to only s13,45o.

kinq Edwards Birthday.

LONDON, June 24.-The birthday
of King Edward (who was born Nov.
9, 1S41) was officially celebrated today,
it having been decided, as announced
in the official Gazette last month, that
his majecty's natal day was to be cele-
brated in London and on the home
stations June "a, as being the most
suitable time for a military display.
General interest in the celebration was
apparently not diminished by the abb
sence of the king, who started yester-
day for Kiel to attend the regatta. The
towns throughout the kingdom were
gaily decorated and beflagged today,
and the shipping at the various ports
made the gayest displays of bunting.
The chief celebration in the metropolis
was the time -honored ceremony OF
trooping the colors on the Horse
Guards parade.

Neglect of Health.

Like most diseases, the majority of
cases of consumption are found to be
directly due to neglect of the simple
rules of health and carelessness in the
conservation of the vital forces on the
part of the victim. Sunshine, pure
and wholesome food, plenty of fresh
air throughout the day, especially good
ventilation in the sleeping rOOm-ac-
cording to many authorities Circula-
ton ii pure air should be constantly
passing through the room-are the
great preventiVes.
Great physical exhaustion depicting
the life energy, also opens the cOnsti-
tuition to the inrOadS of the disease.
Rest. variety of exercise, variety of
nourishing food. recreation OOt fol-
lowed to eXcess)-i short, anything
that will tone up and induce a posi-
tive physical state-are the sure de-
torrents of the disease.

ONSUMPTION CAUSES NEARLY
ONE-FIFTH OF DEATHS IN
SOUND CITY.
Ma jority Of Gases Found to Be d.
rectIy Due to Neglect and
Carelessness.

TACOMA. June 24.-Nearly one fifth
of the deaths that occurred in Tacoma
last month were directly due to con-
sumption. This large percentage in a
section which has heretofore been
considered as rather a poor climate for
the human constitution has led to con-
siderable comment.
Rev. John Reid. who has been Civ
ing attention to the manifest increase
of the disease in Tacoma and other
parts of the country, declares that If
consumption was classed under the
head of contagious diseases, as small
pOX and other virulent forms of dis
ease, there would be such a fight made
against it, and it's symptoms would be
so generally studied and persistently
fought that in time it would be COM
disease does it's work quietly. and but
little attention is paid to it, except in
the mortuary records, where it makes
an appalling showing.
Poor Suffer Most.
Mr. Reid says that but 3 per cent of
the rich die with the disease, while the
ravages in the ranks of the poor foot
up 33 per cent. The ill-clad and poor
ly-fed, those who suffer from extremes
of cold and from hardship, and live in
ill-ventlated rooms and amid unsani-
tary conditions are sweepingly predis-
posed to the attacks of the disease.
Poor ventilation is chargeable, it is
claimed, with unnumbered cases that
carry off hundreds every year. The
average cOnsumptive gives forth about
| 10000 germs daily, and this in itself
proves a prolific source of the disease.
! Persons whose physical condition is
good. however. and whose habits and
surroundings are hygienic, escape the
| lurking danger of these germs through
| their constitutions throwing them off
| almost as soon as they enter the body

and a germ finding Judgment in such a

NELLIE HOGAN IN SEATTLE TO
DEMAND ESTATE OF JOHN
SULLIVAN.
VIII Make Hard Fight to Secure the
Money Left by the Mil
Iionaire.

Mrs. Nellie Hogan. of Charleston, S.
c., one of the claimants of the John
livan and his daughter, Mrs. Margaret
Little of ST. Louis, here, and Will aid
them in the fight for the dead capt.
talst's wealth, says a Seattle paper.
Mrs. Hogan is the daughter of
Mrs. Mary Manning, whom the
OF John Sullivan and whom they ex-
pect to prove was entertained in Seat
tie several years ago, when she visited
her brother.
Mrs. Hogan is one of the three sis
tiers who carried on a correspondence
with John Sullivan on behalf of her
mother. She has letters in her pos
session which she says John Sulli-
van wrote to her mother, one of which
is the last he ever sent to Mrs Man
ming. This was written a short time
before the death of John Sullivan in
Seattle.
Like Cornelius Sullivan, Mrs Hogan
recounts the history of the Sullivan
family and tells of the death of Mrs.
Kate Hunt near Cork. where she had
removed some time after the death of
her husband and infant child in India.
Mrs. Hunt was a sister of Mrs. Mon
ming and the Sullivan boys. Jerry Sui

The records are available and will

Hogan. He enlisted from Pennsylva-
MIA in Company c, commanded by
the Twenty seventh Pennsylvania in
fantry, but military matters are so
strange to me that l cannot remember
details. In any event l know that Capt.
Ryan was killed in the war, but
whether he survived Jerry Sullivan is
a matter with which l am not familiar
Jerry S ullivan died in Virginia on
January 81, 1864. The record of his
death and army service is available to

Mrs. Kate Hunt, an aunt, died near
Cork and my mother died about the
time John Sullivan did. Cornelius Sui
livan, the other member of Johns fam
lily, is here with us. The families of
Mrs. Mary Manning and Cornelius
Sullivan are the heirs to John Sull-
vans estate
Il have letters that John Sullivan
wrote to us during his life For twen-

my mother. Her eyesight was bad and
all the letters from my mother to him
were written by myself. I began writ

school and continued until after my

Last Letter Lost.

In fact, | wrote letter to him tel
ling of mothers death, which reached
here after he died. This is a letter that
was never returned to me, nor have
ever been able to learn that it was re-
CelVed here. I did not place my ad-
dress on the outside of the envelope
but inside was my name and place of
residence, which would give the Off
Gals at the dead letter office a chance
to return the letter if it ever reached
there.
l addressed my letters to John Sui
Ivan, Room Il Sullivan Block. This I
understood was his office number. In
any event he got my letters through
that address. The last one was sent
there.
l do not understand how all records
of my uncle's correspondence with us
could have disappeared after his death.
Some one must have known of our ex-
istence, yet we were never notified of
his death nor was any effort ever made
TO find US. This is a peculiar state of
affairs, which we purpose to investi-
