the only thing lacking is money, and
money we must have. The necessities
we must have. It costs, but we must
have them just the same. Salem has

gates to meet in New York City Nov. 10
to take part in an interchurch conference
or federation. The meeting will be held

Congregational, Baptist and other de-
nominations, two United States Supreme
Court justices, two judges of State
courts, a United States Senator, a Con-
gresham, a Governor, a Mayor and sew
eral college presidents AID professors and
many editors and ministers.
Among the issues to be brought before
The church and nation by the conference
are religious education, the social order,
evangelization, home and foreign mis-
sions, the fellowship of faith, the nation
ii life and Christian progress. Besides
declaring faith in the essential unity OF
the Protestant churches, several speakers
will rehearse the practical workings OF
present federation movements in cities,
.ural districts, States, foreign lands and
Observation-Disclosures work. Denomina-
.ional rallies, a platform meeting devoted
o young peoples movements and a re-
.eption to the delegates at the Waldorf
Astoria, given by the half-dozen denom-
national social unions in the city, will
De among the more popular features OF
The conference.

BIG SPREAD OF v
Alarming Increase of the Yellow
Scourge in Louisiana.

"
At New Orleans sixty new cases of
yellow fever and four new deaths were
reported Wednesday, bringing the respec-
tive totals up to COB and 124. The large
number of new cases and subfoci is sur
prising, but no attempt is being made to
account for it. OF the new subfoci three
are uptown, and the balance downtown.
Two dead men were found in a shanty in
the woods, and it was found that they
had died of yellow fever. They were
Italians, who had died from lack Of at
%tention.
The most alarming feature is the rapid
spread of the epidemic outside of New
Orleans in districts not previously infect
ed. There have been twenty-five new
cases reported in outside parishes during
the last twenty-four hours. Nineteen of
these are in the town Of Patterson, and
are mostly Italians. The three other cases
reported are in st. Charles parish, one of
them being a negro.
In spite of the great increase of the
scourge both in New Orleans and in the
outside parishes, the State board of
health has decided to demand that Gov.
Blanchard call out the militia to protect
/ travel iuIOuSh INC pdiiShSo ~ 20
imposed drastic quarantine against New
Orleans. The present chaotic condition
threatens not only to ruiz the business
of the city, but is a constant annoyance
TO travellers.
A proclamation has been issued by the
board prohibiting any town, parish or
village from refusing admission to a per-
son from a non-infected locality holding
a health certificate not more than twenty
four hours old or to a person from an
infected locality who has spent six days
in a detention camp, and has been dis
charged with a marine hospital certif-
cate.
interference with the passage of steam
boats or trains is forbidden unless they
violate legal quarantine regulations. No
mail, freight or express matter shall, I'M
der the proclamation, be refused from in
fected territories, provided it is carried
in cars which have been fumigated by
the marine hospital service.

Weather Bureau Reports Corn and
Wheat in Fine Condition.

The weekly bulletin of the weather
bureau summarizes croV conditions as
follows:
Texas and Oklahoma experienced very
warm weather, while it was too cool over
the northern portion Of the lake region
and OH the California coast: otherwise
the temperature conditions were gener-
ally favorable. Too much rain proved
detrimental in portions OF Nebraska,
Kansas and Missouri, and also in Flor
ida and portions of Mississippi. but in
northern Alabama, Georgia and the Car
olinas, and over a considerable part Of
the middle Atlantic States, Ohio valley
and Tennessee rain is much needed, the
effects of drought becoming serious over
the greater part of Georgia. Rain is
also needed on the north Pacific coast.
Over the central and western portions
of the corn belt and the greater part of
the middle Atlantic States corn continues
in excellent condition, and, while needing
rain in the Ohio valley, the condition of
the crop in that district IS generally
promising.
TErashing of winter wheat is largely
completed in the principal wheat States.
This work has, however. been interrupt
cd by rains in Kansas, and complaints of
injury from moisture continue from por-
tons of Tennessee and the middle At
lantic States. Flowing for fall seeding
is in progress in the southern portions of
the central valleys.
While rust in spring wheat is more or
less prevalent in the Dakotas and to a
slight extent in Nebraska, Iowa and Min
~nesota, the reports generally indicate that
crop has not sustained serious injury.
Harvest is nearly finished in Iowa, and
is in progress in Nebraska and the south
ern portions of South Dakota and Min
nesota, but has not yet begun in North
Dakota, where the crop is generally in
excellent condition, with long heads
which are filling well. In Oregon har-
vesting is active, with yields below ex-
pectations; in Washington spring wheat
is ripening rapidly and is beyond further
injury from hot winds.
Nearly all reports Indicate that a good
crop of oats has been secured. Harvest

FALLING A L KILL.
Department. Store in Albany Col1apses
and Burics Scores.

Three hundred persons employed In
the large department. store Of the John
G.. Myers estate in Albany, n. Y, had
just gone to work Tuesday morning
when the whole center of the building
collapsed from roof to cellar. Nearly a
hundred men, girls and children were
carried down in the wreck. The first es-
innate placed the number of killed and
injured ut forty.
The catastrophe is the worst of its
kind in the city's history. The Myers
estate had been making extensive repairs
on its building. Tuesday morning a gang
of Italian workmen started to remove an
iron pillar that supported the main foor.
Evidently they had failed to brace the
floor properly, for scarcely had they loos-
ened the post when down came all three
upper floors within a radius of fifty feet
from the fatal pillar. The wreck crashed
through to the cellar, burying the work
men and carrying down those who hap
pened to be working in that portion OF
the building.
The fire department was called out
and the work of rescue began at once.
Considering the nature of the accident
the number of persons who escaped with
only slight injuries Is remarkable. Inc
scene which followed the collapse is IN
describable. Most of those injured were
young m The walls and roof OF
the center of the structure fell into the
building, forming a mass of debris. under
which were the unfortunate victims, The
scenes about the building were as pitia-
BILE as those within. Several hundred
relatives of employees were there and
their supplications as TO the welfare of
their loved ones were heartrending.
Wednesday morning found 200 men
still toiling over the wreckage of the
department store, where twenty-four
hours before occurred the saddest catas-
trophe in the history of Albany. Fifty
women were still unaccounted for. Elev-
en- dead bodies, many of them mangled
almost beyond recognition, had been tax.

Volcano in Louisiana.

Louisiana has a volcano in active erup-
ton and with a crater 20 feet in diane
ter, which is daily growing larger. This
volcano. in the Caddo district, near
Shreveport, started nearly three months
& from a burning oil well. which was
brought in as a gusher and which took
fire within a few days of its opening.
No sooner did it commence to burn than
the 1O-inch hole through which the burn
ing oil and gas were coming began to
widen. The derrick and machinery dis
appeared in the hole and the work Of
destruction continued.
Surrounding buildings have been swal-
lowed up by the cavity, which seems to
be bottomless. Great trees growing near
by have been uprooted and disappeared.
In the meantime the burning oil and gas
are being thrown high into the air, earth
and stones being carried up with them.

In Andalusia, the most fertile part of
spain. practically the whole working pop

In the provinces of Cadiz, Seville, Ma

comprise two-thirds of the total inhab-
itants, have been living for the past few
months almost exclusively on herbs, roots
and berries.

ance Of q bakers cart in the day time
inevitably means an attack by a mob of
starving peasantry, desperate with want
and destitute Of work, who have nothing
to do but lounge about and struggle
against the gnawing pangs of hunger.
Many eases have occurred of isolated
country houses and villas being broken
into at night by improvised bands of rob-
bers. who. nevertheless, despite the temp
tation TO general plumber, have always
confined their depredations to the laroers,
and have taken nothing but food with
which to keep body and soul together.
Many poor peasant mothers, rendered des-
perate by the pitiful cries OF their starv-
ing children, have been driven TO take
from their little stores of medicine. put
aside in case of illness, powerful drugs
with which 10 send the suffering infants
TO sleep, and thus still their cries.
The sole cause OF the present condi-
ton of the p%easantry is the Ubiquitous
system uGder which practically the whole
of the land belongs TO a few wealthy
families. The condition of affairs is very
much the same in this respect as that
which prevailed in France prior to the
revolution. There are no small land own.

almost as bad as that of the slaves and
