A Renefleent ornanlzatIon.
From the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
The Legal Aid Society Of Philadel-
phia has just published its first annual
report. This society has for its object
the giving OF legal service to the poor
who have not money TO pay the costs
of employing a lawyer TO protect them
In their rights and prevent their oppres-
sion. There is reason to believe that
a large number OF the poor are imposed
upon simply because they cannot af-
ford TO contest the exactions that are
required of them. During its first year
the society was consulted in 173 cases,
and II succeeded in adjusting all but
twenty-six Of them without going into
court one hundred and thirty of the
applications for counsel were made by
poor women. an especially helpless
class, who suffer much from Illegal de-
mands. Most Of the cases are loo in
significant to be taken UP by lawyers
for profit but that justice is on the side
of the applicants is shown by the fact
that as soon as those Who were at
tempting to impose on them discovered
that they had legal counsel the oppress-
ing party promptly ceased its insist
ence and became apologize and rea-
sonable. Il makes a vast difference
with the conduct Of some persons when
they know that they are encountering
a lawyer in carrying out their schemes.

PLAIN TRUTHS ON PoLYcAMv.

the other day passed resolution de-
nouncing polygamy, and calling upon
Congress to take drastic measures to

Now polygamy being against the
sense Of decency which exists in mod

Let us be fair and say that a vast

vention are observing in this particu-

did not write the resolution, nor was
it made for them; IL was made to inn

Of the civil Service Reform League
on tho Huldah b. Todd case shows that

journal took some pains to get at the
true facts Of the story, and every con-
cluslon we reached at that time is sub
stantiated by the civn Service Reform
League.
Miss Todd was dismissed without
charges. and when It became evident
that such methods would not be toll

manufacture charges. Think Of it. a

OF DELAW WARE
CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS
BY the Rev. ]. Franldin Bryan. Dover Del.

Between now and the warm summer
weather is the harvest for Christian
Endeavor; as well as all other church
work. and God win expect great things
of us; so let us be led by the Holy
Spirit to do whatever He would like
TO have us do"
All have an equal chance this year in
working for the state banners
which will be given at the
next state convention. That we might
be reminded concerning the banners,
let me say that they will be given at
the next convention for the following
work done: The State banner will be
given to the Young Peoples Society
having made the largest proportionate
increase in associate membership dur
ing the year; and the Junior banner
will be given to the Junior Society hav-
ing made the largest proportionate in
crease in members during the year.
The Christian Endeavor World, the
national Christian Endeavor paper, is
growing better all the time, and the
society which fails to secure subscrib-
ers to this paper is losing a great op-
portunity to benefit the society. The
Round-the-world trip of DR.. Clark is
furnishing Endeavorers who take the
World much valuable information. And
the articles by some of the leading En-
deavor workers in this country are per-
feet feasts to the soul. If a society
cannot do anything more it can, and
ought TO, subscribe for one copy Of the
Christian Endeavor World and have
it come to the chairman Of the prayer
meeting committee, so that it can be
week before the meeting. BY this
plan the leader can better prepare him-
self to lead. There is so very much in
this paper which the leader can get
TO interest the society, not only direct
ly on the topic but of general interest.

take the Inquirer makes is in seeking
to impose Pennsylvania political ideals
on Delawareans.

The subject was his recent trip to the Holy

erland went TO the large Sunday School
meeting which gathered at Jerusalem,
aud he talked on Saturday night for some
thing over an hour about what he saw and
experienced on that trip. The lecture
was given in plain, conversational style
and was very interesting recital of scenes,
works of art, architecture, ruins, monu-

been there and highly entertained those
who did attend.

Washington, June 2Sth.-That Presi-

Presidential nomination in 1908 is the de-
sire of certain aspirants for that honor.
Senator Fairbanks lie practically an ayow-
ed candidate for the head of the ticket
four years hence. Secretary Shaw, Sena-
tor Foraker, Elibu Root, Governor Odell
and Secretary Taft are also considered as
in line for that honor. 1t is realized that
if the Republicans are successful next No
vember it will be the first time that Mr.
Roosevelt has been actually elected to the
Presidency. 1t is evidently feared by
those who want to lead the party in 1908
that he might again seek the nomination,
holding that as he was forced to take the
Vice. Presidential nomination in 1900 and
became President by accident, the tradl-
tional third term prohibition is not
brought into question.

Ice and Ice Making.

For years after the manufacture cf ice
was begun 1t was made by,what is known
as the can method. In fact great part
of the ice used is still made in this way.
From the outset, however, it was dis
covered that one objection to this "can" ice
is what ice men call its "core." This
'"core" is a white or opaque streak run
ming through the center of the block from
end to end, and is composed in part OF
foreign, matter such as oil carried in by the
steam used for the distillation of the water,
amonia, etc. AS the result OF the intro
duction of extraneous matter the product
of this system is not recognized by dealers
as ''sweet" ice. The elimination OF these
Objectionable substances was, therefore,
the problem to which American intelll-
pence and skill directed themselves.
Success was finally achieved by the in
PRODUCTION of the plate system for its man.
ufacture. The trouble was overcome, and
ice possessing every desirable quality Was
produced. 1t is free of foreign matter
it is transparent-it is firm and solid--it
is sweet and pure. We use the plate
method, and we are the only producers in
Southwest Virginia who do. II you care
for ice which has all the qualities essential
to the highest standard of excellence, buy
from us.
