| The brackets to the foot bridges

The streets have been kept as clean
as means would permit, and in this our
efforts have been aided by the citizens
there having been less rubbish thrown
in the cutters than in any previous
years, the general desire being to have
everything neat and clean, and in many
cases some seeming neglect on the part
of the city in keeping the streets clean
has brought forth vigorous demand
to have the conditions remedied.

prevent flooding at Third and Vine
streets.
The construction of a storm sewer on
Clark and Pleasant streets, from Par

would be a desirable improvement, as
it would remove the water that now
deluges Second, Broad, Van Brunt, Cen

done at price that would make it an

SPOKE TO DRUMMERS
DIR. J. A. RICE PREACHED A STRONG
 SERMON.
Commercial Travelers, He Said, Have Great Opportunities in Their Daily Lives for Doing
 Good Work.

At the Court Street Methodist Church yesterday morning the pastor, Rev. J. A. Rice, D. D., preached a strong, earnest sermon to travelling salesmen on their real mission in life.
 The great auditorium of the church
 was comfortably filled, members of Montgomery Council, United Commer- cial Travellers, occupying reserved
 seats.
 Speaking from the text. "As ye go, preach" Matthew, X, ', Dr. Rice said:
 This was the commission given by Jesus to His disciples as they started out to compass that part of the earth in the interest of the Kingdom of God. They were to be heralds and the tidings they were to cry Is given In the verses following the text.
 We are meeting today with another group of men whose mission is to com pass this part of the earth in the in- terest of another kingdom--that of commerce. They are the distributing agents of material goods and pen citrate every nook and corner with their sam- pie cases. But they carry other things. also. They are the distributing agents of ideas and ideals. They pass from country store to country store. carry ing tidings of the great outside world. The crossroad store is a great socializ- ing agency. Around 1t the old and the young gather, particularly on Satur- days, to hear the latest news and ex- change opinions. Who that was raised in the country does not remember the doorsteps and the we'll whittled white pine boxes from which the cross roads philosophers with an air of infallible wisdom pronounced 'ex cathedra' upon
 all questions, both great and small? And all kinds of subjects were before lthem-political, social. commercial. i'm
 dustrial, religious, theological. There
 is only one other social centre com parable to this-the long pine log in the country churchyard. While the local dignitaries are here discussing and
 working out weighty problems, groups
 of boys are standing around taking | their first lessons in life.
 ITO these centres the commercial
 traveller comes as the veritable imper-
 sonation of all that is great in the inn
 agination of the rural bystanders. He represents incalculable wealth. He
 handles money as they cannot. His
 firm, therefore, has limitless resources.
 He is also to them the very incarnation | of mastery over the world. By day and by night, in calm and in storm, in heat and in cold, in drought and in floods
 he crosses rivers, penetrates forests,
 climbs mountains, speeds over measure
 less plain, Allies with the wings of the
 wind. The very forces of nature seem to hurry to his service! And he is the
 embodiment of all human knowledge.
 For he is familiar with all the pro-

"Wouldst thou slay an old man like
me. Thou knowest not what thou
dost Thou art mad!"
Mastutchenko put the rife to his
cheek and said: Commend thy soul
to God. In a second thou shalt be no
more"
Commandant Golikoff shuddered. He
crossed himself. He had scarcely done
so when he fell to the deck, shot
through the forehead.
Mastutchenko now gave orders to
the sailors, ARREST the officers that
remain!" The officers were arrested
and solemnly stripped off their insignia
of rank. Three ripped off their should
er straps. saying to the sailors, I'VE
are with you for free Russia" These
three remained on board. One of
them, Alexieff, was placed In COM
mand. The others were put In boat
and sent to Odessa. It was 11.30 when
Mastutchenko began the revolt. BY
1915 the sailors were masters Of the
Kniaz Potemkine. He called the men
together and said:
I'VE are now going to declare war
on all Russia which Is not for liberty.
The revolutionaries will follow u.s."
"Rabid creature that thou art" In

has been made. We must go on" re-
piled Mastutchenko, and he began to
intone the international" and was
followed by the sailors In unison. FL
nally the singing ceased. A deep 81
lence prevailed, which was at length
broken by groans
"Who groaned?" demanded Mastu-
tchenko. go thou and see, Pogow-
metz"
Pogownetz went to find out. Pres
emily he returned, saying that 1t was
the surgeon. lying wounded in his
cabin.
"AhL that pig. who Is the cause of
all, is sick!" calculated Mastutchenko.
What shall we do with him"
Death! Death! Let Us kill him!"
cried the sailors.
Twenty sailors precipitated them
selves into the cabin. They grabbed
up the surgeon by the feet and arms
and threw him into the sea. From the
rail Mastutchenko fired at him until
the body disappeared beneath the sur
face. The sailors became troubled
and glanced at the mutineers, while
they murmured among themselves.
"A stupid, unnecessary thing, that!'
They repeated these words under
breath, for they were afraid Of being
heard by Mastutchenko, who with his
fierce Tartar eyes watched and domi-
mated them.
Whence came this Mastutchenko ?
Who knows? He himself says he
comes from Siberia, but there Is
something Of the Japanese about him.
He has only been in the Russian navy
three years. and no one knows where
he was born or who were his parents.
Pogownetz Is a Roumanian from Bes-
sarabia, which was absorbed by Rus
sia twenty-five years ago. He has
been in the navy eight years. He
should have had his discharge a year
ago, but on account Of the war he
was not allowed TO CO.. He chafed
under the enforced stay, and in him
the seeds Of mutiny and the revolution
found rich soil.
