TUESDAY EVENING, AUG. 90. 1905.

THE civilized world will rejoice to
learn that the Russian and japanese en-
VOWS today at Portsmouth agreed upon
terms by which the sanguinary war
which has prevailed during the past
eighteen months in the far Est will be
brought to a speedy close, and thus rem
der unnecessary another clash of arms
between General Lnovitch AMI Field
Masthal Oyama. That the ENJOYS have
acted upon the lines of humanity and
common sense will be the universal YER
dict. 1t makes no difference which
nation has exceeded in diplomacy nor
which has waived claims, peace is as
sured and the representatives OF both
nations are to be congratulated. 1t is
the dove of peace, not Bellona, which
has appealed to Russia and Japan, and
the temple of Janus is about to be closed.
May it remain so for an indefinite period.
The war between Russia and Japan has
been one of the most sanguinary ever
known. Many thousand men have been
slain, millions of dollars spent and un-
told destruction has followed in IFS wake.
the success of the Mongolians has been
phenomenal, although the Russians have
shown yalor all through the conflict.
The fate of war, however, was against
them. May Russia soon recuperate and
resume her normal condition, and
in the meantime let the little brown
man not become intoxicated by his sue
cess, but acquire lessons of conservatism
and friendliness for his late adversary.

cess, but acquire lessons of conservatism
and friendliness for his late adversary.
THAT AMERICANS are great meat eaters
may be considered fact OF derivation
from the hunting and fishing stage of the
country's life. So long as meat was
abundant and cheap had the recOmmen-
dations which led to its choice as the
principal article of food. AS the Balti-
more Herald says, the vegetarian who
here and there raised his voice in protest
against the consumption of flesh foods
was little needed. A people are guided
in the selection of their food very little
by deliberate choice. They eat the things
which are closest to hand. The time
NAV come with tina: remote future to
which is referred everything UtOpian
when nations will deliberately select the
predominating articles of their diet with
reference to the development Of special
racial characteristics. But at present
people in general are not even convinced
that what they eat has relevancy to
what, as nations, they become. For
a few centuries 10 come Americans GER
tainly will continue to eat the "iood
convenient to them" while good humor-
eddy allowing the cerealists to tickle
their palates with health foods. But
even American independence or indifier-
ence is amenable to the dictates OF des-
tiny. Just now Americans seem to drift
more strongly than ever toward a fruit
diet. The moving consideration is the
fancy figures, with an upward tendency,
at which flesh foods are sold. The other
consideration is the abundance and
cheapness of fruits. As wisdom takes
counsel of necessity, a third motive,
which of itself would not have great
weight, is the superior whOlesomeness
of fruit foods. This country produces
the biggest apple crops in the world.
The peach crops are unparalleled, the
watermelons and small fruits respond in
abundance Ito the mere tickling of the
soil with hoe. The same story holds
true of all domestic fruits. But this
term has become elastic. California
distributes through the country great
quantities of tropical fruits and the area
of cultivation of these is constantly ex-
tending. When the Panama canal is
dug the Pacific coast fruits can be brought
to the eastern markets with greater celer-
ity aud less cost. Modern means of
transportation have made the planta-
tons of the West Indies also almost the
same as though they were within the
country confines. 1t is safe to predict
that the consumption of bananas espe-
cially will soon be increased. Oranges
are being consumed in rapidly increas-
ing quantities. Certainly during the
summer months fruit will be king. Dur
ing the winter months the force of habit
will prevail and more fruit and less meat
will be eaten.

ToIstoi,s New Book.

London, Aug. 29.-COunt TOlstOi, the
Russian author, has written novel,
which will be printed soon. The story
deals with the tragic life of Russian
revolutionist, and relates many of the
experiences which arise out of his con-
nection with the inner circle of the revo-
Iutiouists. The book is said to be the
best which Tolstoi has ever written.

would be more care and economy in

ARE AT HOME AGAIN
Members of Calvary Presbyterian
Church of independence fold
Re-Opening Services.

INDEPENDENCE, Or, Dec 6-It
was a red letter day, as well as a day
of jubilee. in the history of the Pres
byterian church Of Independence
when the congregation re-entered their
rebuilt edifice last Sunday, after an
absence Of four months. Great fear
was felt late in the summer when the
alarm was given that tne building
which had been their nome for score
Of years, and to which many had be-
come attached, was unsafe and liable
to fall at any time. Investigation
proved that these fears were we'll
grounded, and the congregation were
compelled to leave the building while
the necessary repairs could be made.
The trustees, with DR.. O. D. Butler
as chairman, began at once to plan to
reconstruct the edifice so that in the
future it would be safe aud comfort
able. The plans were soon matured,
the work was completed, and the
church was reopened with rejoicing
and thanksgiving last Sabbath. The
women Of the church lent invaluable
aid in the good work, and the business
men and people gave generous assist
ance in the way of money and en-
couragement. 1t was indeed day of
gladness when the happy congrega-
ton re-entered their new building last
Sabbath morning to enjoy a delight
full homecoming.
An interesting program of exercises
for the day had been prepared by the
pastor, DR.. e J. Thompson. Three
services were held. At the morning
service. Rev. Il. T. Vincent, of Cor
Wallis, preached an appropriate and
eloquent sermon. At p. M, DR..
Thompson, assisted by the pastors
present, conducted a communion SER
vice, and in the evening Rev. D.
Julian Becker, Of Dallas, preached an
excellent sermon.
Ihe music or tie day was under the
direction Of Mrs. G. W. Conkey, with
her sister, Miss Opal McDevitt, at the
organ. Too much cannot be said in
praise Of the music furnished, the
anthems, Duets and solos all being Of
a high order Of excellence. The sweet
solos by Miss Maggie Hodge and Miss
Myra Kimberlin, the girls quartette,
the Duet by Miss Halle Morrison
and Miss Emroy McDevitt, Of Dallas,
and the duett by Mr.. and Mrs. Conkey
were greatly appreciated by everyone
One OF the happiest features of the
day was the presence Of a large dele
cation from the sister church at
Dallas. The visitors were more than
welcome, and added greatly to the
pleasure of the occasion.
The new church stands as a monu-
ment to the faithfulness of the trus-
tees, who have most diligently labored
to secure the desired object, and to the
generosity of the good people Of Inde-
aided by a few fast friends
from abroad. The structure is a credit
to the city and a comfort and blessing
to Calvary Presbyterian church.
