SOCIETY INCORPORATED.
Washington City Church Extension
Society of M. E. Church South"

The ."Washington City Church Extension
Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church
South yesterday filed articles Of fncor-
poration, through twenty-five representa-
tives Of the four churches of the denomina-
ton in this city. The chief purpose Of the
organization is to secure ground upon which
to build a new Methodist church, to be
known as the North Washington NJ. E.
Church South. 1t is proposed to erect 1t
at the corner of I'd and streets northwest.
Under the laws Of the Methodist Church
congregation Is not allowed to mortgage
its property, and because Of this restriction
city extension boards have been organized
In nearly every city IN the country where
there are three or mere churches belonging
to the denomina ton. 1t is possible for these
auxiliary bodies to purchase ground for new
churches where the money is not available
by making a part payment in cash and Sc
curing the balance by deed of trust upon
the land thus acquired, a thing which the
church itself could not do. This system
permits the property to be turned over to
the new congregation and used for rs
purposes subject to the mortgage.
Rev. P. w. Jeffries of Baltimore was ap-
pointed pastor Of the new congregation by
the conference held in Alexandria in March
last, and has done much in the way Of
The Mount Vernon Place. Epworth, Mar
lon and West Washington are the four
churches represented in the certificate filed
yesterday. The following persons are des-
igrated as managers for the first year I'M
til the election Of their successors: Fred
erick A. Stier, Greed M. Fulton, L. Pierce
Boteler, William F. Hummer, George W.
Barkmsn, Jefferson w. Duffey, Forrest J.
Prettyman, David L. Blakemore, John c.
Hawk, John H. White, Peter w. Jesfries,
Arthur B. Pugh. William w. MILAN, J.
Everett Baird David L. Coon. William
l.. Chambers, Henry Knowles, George NJ.
Moore, Louis A. Potter, Thomas Jarvis,
William H. McCarty and James L. vinson.
1t Is under subchapter 3 of chapter IS
of the District code that the corporation
Is taken. and its term of existence Is de-
clared to be perpetual. The objects, as
stated. are to promote the interest of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South in the
District of Columbia by raising money to
be expended in the purchase of land and the
erection Of buildings. 1t Is provided that
one of the aims Of the corporation shall
be the furnishing of houses of worship
and parsonages for the use Of societies
or congregations of the church that are
organized or to be hereafter organized in
the District. 1t Is also set out that the
corporate body may. in conformity with
law, acquire by gift. devise. or convey
ance, real or personal property to be used
and applied by the church organization.

A PHILANTHROPY MOVE.
Woman's Club Takes Steps Toward
Circulating Library.

E/m Tuesdays Daily.
yesterdays meeting Of the Woman's
club was one OF especial Importance,
as it marked the beginning Of philan-
thropic work in that organization.
Hitherto the efforts of the club have
tended entirely toward s~elf-culture,
but it has now reached the point
where it is deemed practicable to do
something for the intellectual i'm
provement of the women of Montana
living in the smaller towns 0 r neigh
borhoods where they cannot have &C
cess to good books
The club took steps to furnish a
circulating library to be USED in such
localities, each member donating at
least one book or so cents in money.
One generous member gave two sets
Of book cases in which the library is
to be kept. The ladies will be glad
to receive contributions from anyone
who feels an interest in the enter
prise.
After the business session the cur
rent topic department, under the d.
rection of the leader, Mrs. F. H. Hath
horn, gave an interesting programme.
The subject for discussion was "1ne
Louisiana Purchase" Mrs. Paul Nc
Cormick told of the early explorations
and the geographical results. Mrs.
Clements talk consisted of a brief re-
view of the facts leading up to the
purchase and the negotiations neces-
sary to bring it about, incidentally re-
ferring to Jefferson's discomfort as
to the white elephant he mad pur-
chased.
Mrs. S. W. soule and Mrs. Yates
then discussed the great st. Louis
fair. The former gave a brief sum
mary of the general plan of the
grounds, buildings and lagoons, en-,
phasizing the perfection of il all by
describing the reproduction of the
city of Jerusalem. Illustrations were
used in connection with the address
Mrs. Yates described the fike anC

Climbing Mountains

Is a fascinating and invlgorating past
time. 1t develops not the body only,
but the mind. The Alpine Peaks OF
Switzerland have their counterpart in
our own country, in the S~ierras, the
Cascades, and parts of the Rockies.
The greatest glacial peak of the
United States is Mt. Rainier, in Wash
ington, more than 14,500 feet high.
This magnificent mountain has Is OF
more giant glaciers creeping down its
sides and discharging their glacial
detritus into the Columbia river OF
Puget sound.
A climb to the summit of this peak
is a mountaineering feat worthy O!
any mountaineer. For Is cents A. M

CHARGED WITH FORGERY.
North Dakota Man Taken Back to
Stand Trial.

j. P. Nelson of Glendale N. D., was
arrested by the police last Saturday
on a description from the sheriff OF
that place, who had a warrant for his
apprehension. The sheriff, s.. ~.
Thompson, arrived yesterday morning
and left for the east last night with
his prisoner. The charge against the
man is said to be forgery. Much SYM
pathy was given the man Dy the Off
GERS, as he seemed to be a victim OF
misfortune rather than the wilful per-
petrator of a crime. He is a stone
mason by trade, but thought he could
do better farming. Crop failures and
lack of knowledge of the business
| caused him 10 lose all he had and it
seems that ne sold some farming i'm
| plements that were covered by a mort
gage, out of which transaction the
charge pending against him arose.
Nelson had been here for some time
prior to his arrest and when taken
into custody was employed as truck
man at the Northern Pacific transfer

who were met by Detectives
Wilson and Wheeler early yes
terday morning and exchanged
a fusilade OF shots with the
outlaws. The officers are confident
that one of the men was wounded dur-
ing the exchange of shots. The men
are believed to be still hiding in the
dense brush of the bottom lands. Late
Saturday afternoon the secret service
department received a tip from reli-
able sources that Pat Grove, the
much-wanted alleged Cudahy kid
naper, was at the home of Charles
Christian.
Detectives Wheeler and Wilson
were detailed on the case. Driving to
the locality, the two officers secreted
themselves in the sand hills southwest
OF Christians home. However, moth
ling was seer of the men. After lying
on the ground the officers became
chilled and started to draw a trife
closer to the Christian home.
Just at that moment two men were
seen to leave the side doorway. In
the dense darkness it was impossible
to recognize either. The two detec
tives posted themselves at an advan
tageous position at the roadside. AS
the two men came within 10 PAGES
both officers stepped to the Dad.
Throw up your hands, we are OF
fcers," exclaimed Wilson.
A curse and a volley of shots were
the answer. Both officers opened hre
with rifles. The two men sprang from
the raod, firing rapidly and emptylns
their guns, and escaped in the dark

Concerning Your Home.

From the number OF inquiries 1t ap'
pears that the object OF the Billings
Building and Loan Association has moi

Sine people have thought that the
association built houses and then sold
them on the installment plan.
While that is practically the result
the method must be viewed from an
other standpoint.
The association is not a charitable

ONLY Perfect Potatoes For Seed.

While there were many thous-
ands of fine potatoes grown this
summer, there were many bushels
which ought not to be sold or saw
ed for seed They will do well
enough for the quick market and
should be sold for what they will
bring and the seed tubers for next
seasons planting bought Any
tubers whose vines have shown
disease or if the scab is plainly
present, should not be- used for
seed. 1t may seem hard to buy
seed potatoes when one has so
many home grown, but one must
look TO future seasons and realize
what the result will be if the dis
eased tubers are planted. Better
sell almost anything one raises to
get the money to buy erfect seed,
if one raises potatoes in quantity,
rather than raise from seed that
will effect not only coming orops
but perhaps fill the soil with dis
ease for future crops. This same
argumennt applies to any crop
from which the farmer saves his
own seed. Unless a man is abso
lutely without cash and cannot OBJ
tain it he ought never to use for
seed any home grown product of
which there is any doubt. There
is tco much home grown seed sown
anyway and this plan is the bot
tom of the many poor crops one
