subject of discourse delivered at Rausch-
er's yesterday afternoon. under the auspices
O. the School for Soul Culture, by Mrs.
Annie Rix Militz of California. Mrs. Militz
announced that there was nothing disrepu-
table about wealth, but. on the contrary.
that It was an emanation and attribute of
the Creator. There were less than dozen
men in the audience.
wealth is the expression of thought In
our midst" announced Mrs. Militz. cit Is
Cody to be well fed well clothed. free
from debt, and absolutely sure of our sup
port" She said the reason good people In
this world failed to enjoy their heritage
was because they did not understand. and
SO lived out of harmony with the divine.
Worry and selflshness, she said. are two of
the things that prevent the human mind
from dwelling in the atmosphere that
breathes good cheer and assures success.
With these banished, with God enshrined,
peace is certain. To him who seeks the
kingdom of God and His righteousness, all
other things shall be added

The Missing Buoys.

The buoy tenders will find ample work to
keep them busy for several weeks replacing
buoys on the river that have been damaged
or carried away by the ice.
When the ice began to move Friday last
1t picked up the red buoy below Shepherds
landing of the Baltimore and Ohio railway
and carried 1t about half mile down the
river and finally landed it on the edge of the
fats abreast of Alexandria. The buoy
marking the lower end of Greenway fats
below Marshall Hail. has been moved sew
eral hundred yards out Of position. and the
red spar abreast of Glymont has been cut
off at the waters edge neatly if done
with saw. The strength of drifting ice Is
shown by the fact that these buoys are an
chored to- stone weighing several hundred
pounds, and the stone well as the buoy
was moved.
