The new college has already taken on its

subway college," because. in most in

five larger buildings by subways. And the

Mr.. Young. in engraving the first pin.
had to solve the problem OF how to hold
the delicate bit of metal while working on
1t. He tried almost every way. and finally
found that by pushing the pin far down
into piece Of cork and placing the cork
fiat on his work table he could hold it
Steadier and work more swiftly and accu-
rately than in any other way. This method
he also followed in engraving the second
pin a few weeks ago.
Mr.. Young doesn't know what would
happen to an engraver who made a busi-
ness of inscribing alphabets-single or
double-on pinheads, but thinks he would
either go blind or crazy. and perhaps both.
He found that the work, while hard on the
nerves and the hand, played particular
havoc with his eyes. All of 1t was done,
Of course, while the pin was held under
a powerful magnifying glass and with the
smallest tool that could possibly be used
for the purpose. Mr.. Young considers his
work as more of a curiosity than as a
of the pin was so rough and uneven that
perfection in the latter respect could not
possibly be obtained.
Mr.. Young says that owing to the nature
of the task and the strain involved in Its
successful accomplishment he will never
duplicate it, but some OF his friends In
the bureau believe, since inspecting his
last production. that his limit In freak
engraving has not yet been reached, and
and competition he will again pick up his
magnifying glass and his delicate tools
and accomplish some task even more diff
cult and unusual.

THEIR SABBATH DAY
SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS HELD
SERVICES YESTERDAY.
Devotional Exercises by Conference at
Takoma-Work Of Second
Day.

II The. Seventh Day Adventists observed
rthpin Sunday yesterday, religious and de-
'uvstfunal exercises constituting the days
program. At 10 o'clock yesterday morning
Sunday school was held in the large tent on
the grounds OF the Adventists on Carroll
avenue. on the banks OF Sligo stream The
attendance was unusually large, owing to
the TACT that all of the delegates In attend
ance at the conference were present in a
body as well the members of the four
churches in Washington. which was a fea-
ture OF the days exercises. At IL O'Clock
Pastor E W. Farnsworth Of London, Eng
land. delivered an interesting sermon ap-
propriate to the occasion and covering the
work of the Adventists In all of their
branches. The remainder of the afternoon
and evening was occupied In devotional
work, the attendance remaining practically
the same as at the morning sessions a brief
adjournment being taken at noon
The second day OF the general confer
ehce proved very interesting day with
the Advenusts After an early praise SER
wee held In the large pavilion at $50
O'Clock in the morning breakfast was served
from $50 to 1880 am. At 8 oclock the va
rlous departments, educational medical
sunday school and religious liberty. held
separate consultation meetings to consider
the work and needs OF their respective
lines.
II was at the morning session that the
conference was given quite surprise A
few weeks ago. delegates coming to the
conference from California, conceived the
idea of organizing an Informal surprise
party In behalf OF the work which is being
done in the erection of the school SANTA
rum at Takoma Park and other enterprises
In Washington. The word was passed out
Immediately TO the officers OF the state con-
ference. and shortly afterward the surprise
was sprung. The delegates reported that
the move had been hasty one and that
they could bring only partial results with
them. Nearly 5000 was then laid on the
table in front OF the platform, over 5000
OF which was for the work In Washington
and Takoma Park, the remainder being for
missions. This makes a total OF over $50
900 raised on the 100000 fund for the con-
struction of the buildings at Takoma Park.
With this large donation as a starter, 1t Is
expected that the balance. amounting to
less than 10000. will be raised before the
closing OF the conference.
Gifts From Foreign Fields.
While foreign delegates had not heard OF
the surprise party idea, numbers OF them
came bringing gifts from foreign fields. L.
r. Conradi reported a collection Of 500
for the Washington enterprises from the
churches In Germany. J. L. Shaw of In
over 500 from India and Bur-
