Few societies in the world have done
more to relieve suffering than the Red
Cross, yet few have had so small fixed
income. The American branch has had
to depend upon a few annual subscrip-
tions and such voluntary contributions
as have been evoked by disaster. Now
a movement has been started to create a
large national peoples fund, made up of
annual contributions of one dollar, to be
held in such way that the instant cry
for help is heard the help will be ready;
and as the Red Cross is at the same
time organizing or conducting "frst aid
classes" all over the United States, it is
intended that the help shall be intelli-
gent as well as prompt.

ATHENA, MAY 8, 1901

As usual Athenas enterprising pub

With something like $4,000 to raise
Sunday to complete payment on the new
Methodist Episcopal Church, before it
could be dedicated, over $4,000 was
subscribed. The members Of the church
did exceedingly well, but this was to be
expected. The vastly appreciated as
sistance comes from three men who
are not members OF the church,
but who as members of the building
committee, generously assisted the
building fund. They are respectively
Hon. T. j. Kirk, who gave the church
81 900; A. M. Gillis $1,000; A. B. Nc

The possibilities open to modern
apostle are seen in an attractive light
through the experiences of Massachu-
setts clergyman who, in a little more
than year, has completed "a preaching
tour around the world" supporting
himself and family by holding meetings
and taking collections. He started with
only nine dollars, and seems to have
earned his expenses, or more, even
while visiting Japan, China and India.
But the minister who undertakes such a
trip in this year of our Lord owes most
of his success to those earlier evange,
lists who did not find many friends along
the road until they had made enemies

PHILADELPHIA, July In
speaking of the nomination of Judge
Parker to-day former Democratic Ma
tional Committee Chairman William
Garrity said:
Judge Parker whose nomination
has been clearly foreshadowed for
several weeks past, will make a strong
candidate. He is made of excellent
Presidential timber and believe his
strength will become more apparent
and will increase as the campaign
progresses. The omission of a gold

ESOPUS, N. Y, July s.-The news
of Judge Parker's nomination was
given to him at $50 o'clock this morn
ing by a press correspondent, who
found him clambering out Of the water
after his morning swim,
We'll, Judge, you've got it" cried
the journalist, as the athletic figure OF
the Judge appeared over the bow of
the barge from which he had been
diving.
is that SOP" replied the Judge, his
ruddy face breaking into CHEEKY
smile, in which satisfaction was undis-
guised. He asked for details of the
final vote and displayed the liveliest
interest in every fact and figure, at the
same time refraining from the slight
est comment. When asked If he would
say anything concerning his nomina-
ton, he replied:
No, 1 shall say nothing whatever
until 1 am formally notified of my
nomination"
He climbed up the steep bank to his
house and cordially received the greet
ings of the other newspaper men who
had been waiting there, but again de-
clined to make any comment upon the
situation.
From 9:45 o'clock last night until
after o'clock this morning Judge
Parker remained in his room, which
he left only to go to the river for his
usual swim. At that time he knew

Gavin MCNab Pays Trib-
ute to Jurist's High
Character.

The Democratic merchants and busi-
ness men of this city regard the nom
ination of Judge Parker with consider
able favor. In the wholesale and job
bing districts the comment was decid-
edly favorable. 1t was said that the
the forces Of the party would suppress
the ranting agitators of the organiza-
tion and assist in quelling the spirit of
anarchy in the land.
Gavin McNab, the leader of the Dem
ocratic party in California, is highly
gratified over Judge Parker's nomina-
ton. Responding to a request of The
Call for his views concerning the nomi-
nee McNab said:
Judge Alton B. Parker, the Demo-
cratic nominee for President of the
United States, as the head of one of
the highest courts on earth has pro-
foundly Influenced the Jurisprudence of
America by his wisdom. His views, as
expressed in his written opinions, are
broad and forceful. His character, pub
lie and private. is the highest. He has
clear head and clean hands. He is an
ideal American. There is no reason
why every Democrat should not give
him his enthusiastic support. He should
receive, and no doubt will receive, every
Democratic vote. He is the splendid
head of united Democratic party"
What McNab says will be accepted
as the gospel of the Democratic or
ganization in California. If he so di-
reefs the sentiments expressed in the
foregoing estimate of Judge Parker will
be proclaimed by the Twenty eighth
Assembly District Democratic Club and
by regular organizations of the party
in other Assembly districts of San
Francisco.
Franklin K. Lane, Frank H. Gould,
James G. Mcguire, Charles J. Heggerty,
James H. O'Brien and Washington
Dodge are quite we'll satisfied with the
nomination. Thomas w. Hickey and
Thomas j. Walsh entertain the great
est admiration for Judge Parker. Max
Pepper was one of the Parker orig
inaIs." Before his departure from the
wigwam of the Iroquois to visit foreign
lands he predicted Parker's nomination.
In the Republican camp the nominal
zion affords pleasure. At the Union
League Club yesterday 1t was predicted
by former Congressman James A.
Louttit, s. K. Thornton and Charles
Bassett that Roosevelt's majority in
California would approximate $4,000. 1t
was common remark in Republican
discussion that the trusts and railway
corporations would stand in for Parker
and the people rally around Roosevelt.

because with one exception no personal

Through efforts of the police, who

domicile, the storming of the house
was prevented and the crowd finally
dispersed.
The trouble was started by mem-
Der of the church making the allega-
ton that the pastors fees for oficiat-

erals were exorbitant. The members
threaten that they will tear down the
church If Bishop Phelan decides to re-
