cry for the manufacture of bricks
from the slate refuse of the quarry.
These bricks weigh about a pound

REFUSE ROCKEFELLER'S AID.
Churches Protest Against Accepting
Money from Him.

Congregational letters representing
Boston, and various sections of New
England, have protested to the Ameri-
can Board of Commissioners for For.
eign Missions against the acceptance
by the board of a gift of 800, 900 from
John D. Rockefeller, on the ground
that the Standard Oil Company stands
before the public under repeated and
recent formidable indictments in spe-
cifc terms for methods which are
morally iniquitous and socially de-
structive, and that the acceptance OF
such gift involves the constituents OF
the board in relation implying honor
towards the donor, and subjects the
board to the charge of ignoring the
moral issue involved.

WOMAN AGREES WITH osLER.
Attempts to Put Into Practice the
Baltimore Doctors Theory.

In indianapolis there is a woman
who agrees with the proposition that
men of 60 and over should be chic
reformed, or otherwise put out of the
way. She tried to demonstrate her
adherence to the theory the other day,
with her husband as the victim. He is
78 years of age and she is 35. There
came along younger man, with whom
the woman thought life would be hap
pier. But as her old husband was
worth $50, 900, she concluded it would
be nicer to become a widow and then
bride than to elope and lose her in
heritance. The scheme failed because
the old man was smart enough to
catch her in the act of trying to pois
on him.

Breakfast in New York, dinner. in
London. That is the dream of the
men who are trying to solve the prob
lem of rapid ocean navigation. The
principle of applying power to- ships
as at present employed is, then think,
all wrong. They think they can build
ship which will travel at the rate Of
500 miles an hour with the suction
method of propulsion. Seven hours,
they say, will in the near future be the
limit of travel between the United
States and England.
The new power pulls, the boat instead
of pushing it, and it is described as
being an application of the power of
suction which has pulled many ship
into whirlpools or into waterSpouts.
1t is expected that the speed will be
limited only by the nerve of the cap
tain and the establishment of interna-
tional governing laws.
Models already constructed show
that the new shipS-if they are ever
built-will be of the submarine order,
with but a low steel Superstructure
above water. There is to be but a
very small smoke stack and very few
ventilatorS. No person could stand
unprotected on the deck on any vessel

Free Bank That
Lends Money to All

ital of $4,000 Although distinctly a
Jewish organization the society is in
corporated under the laws of New
York, and is non-sectarian in regard
to it's work, treating Jew and Gentle
alike. The applicants seeking loans
are shielded as much as possible from
all publicity; they are neither humili-
ated in any way nor questioned as to
their personal standing. The only
question put to the applicant at all is:
"Who will endorse your note?" The
endorser's name and address are
written down, and a representative o.
the association is sent to investigate,
as is done in any other business trans
action.
The majority of the loans go to the
small tradesmen or would-be trades
men. In the statistics for 1904 were
several hundred cobblers applying for
80 or SIS loan, which would pay
for bench room in a shop or perhaps
rent tiny basement for month, as
we'll as supply small stock in trade
or a few tools. Tailors and book
binders come next on the list, and
these usually borrow from $25 to $50.
and it is seldom that these men, unac
quainted as they are with American
ways and the business methods of this
country, and hailing from a strange
country as they do, do not succeed up
on the small capitals which they Dor
row. That they almost Immediately
begin to repay is the best possible
proof that they are turning over their
money to advantage.

They would have little chance to SEQ
anything even if they could stand on
the outside, because there. would be
nothing but rainbow of flying spray

path of slower boats. A passing ship
would hear nothing. but a roar, see
nothing but dashof spray and the
thing would be gones leaving nothing
but streak of chprned water.
The inventor of the new speed trans
mission says that his models have de-,
veloped the most, astonishing speed.
He tried them in 40-fOOt tank, and
the boats, which were about seven feet
long and six inches, wide, jumped the,
length of the tark. SO, quickly that no,
stop-watch ever made could record
their speed. These models had a
clock-work arrangement of springs,
which supported the motive power,
and when it started the only thing that
could be SEEN was a fash, and the
model was bumping its nose, against
the other side of the tank.

OSLERISM IN CHURCH.
A Scholarly Man OF the Cloth Is
Turned Away on Account
OF His Ace.

A church at Asbury Park N. j.,
has amended DR.. Osler's now famous
dictum with respect to the age limit.
This church hasn't any use for old
preachers. Recently the conference
assigned to it scholarly and eloquent
but elderly man. The congregation
refused to receive him as its pastor
At a meeting of the members it was re-
solved that no preacher over 80 years
of age was wanted, and youth OF 81
was invited to accept the passionate
temporarily, pending the orderly re-
moval of the unwelcome old man. No
body suggested the chloroforming OF
the old preacher, yet to judge from
some of the dispatches that have APP
peared in the papers with respect to
the matter it is probable that prop
osition to chloroform him would have
been voted on atfirmatively.
What to do with the old preachers is
question that has been before the
churches for great many years. The
venerable man of the cloth, who has
given the best years of his life to the
service of the Master without thought
of or desire for personal gain, finds
himself in the afternoon of life poor
in purse and unwelcome in some pull

$3.50 to 1850 and S400, There we're
nearly 1000, 600 chips, from the COM
monest composition to the finest ivory

in profusion, dice for shooting craps,
and all other conceivable dice used

A DANGEROUS HABIT.
GladstOne's Physician Gives Warnir' g
Against Growing American Custom.

| GIadstOne's Physician Gives Warnip g
| Against Growing American Custom.
The growing habit amongst Amer
leans of taking mint tablet or some
other.so called digestive after eating
a hearty meal is something that Sir
Andrew Clarke, Mr.. Gladstone's ply
stefan, advises strongly against, say
ing: sit is absolutely dangerous to
take into the stomach remedies which
are popularity supposed to aid in the
digestion of food"
There is nothing known to the
science of medicine that can perform
the work of the human stomach. Drugs
do not and can not digest the food.
They simply decompose it. What can
be more revolving or disgusting than
the thought of taking something into
the stomach that is going to turn the
good food that you have eaten into a
mass of corruption.
The only way to overcome indiges-
ton and its evil effects is to remove
all irritation, congestion and inham-
nation from the stomach, liver and
intestines, and Mi-o-na is the only
agent known that will do this.
When a Mi-o-na tablet is taken be-
fore each meal every trace of irritation
and Inflammation is removed from the
stomach and digestive system, and
those organs will extract from the food
all that goes to make good, rich blood,
firm muscles, steady nerves and a
sound, healthy body. If you suffer
with headaches, indigestion, fiat
ulency, spots before the eyes, vertigo
or dizziness, palpitation Of the heart,
sleeplessness, or any stomach trouble,
get fifty cent box of Mona from
Bell Bros, one of our most reliable
drug firms, whose faith in the remedy
) is shown by their offer to return the
money if Mi-o-na does not give com
plete satisfaction.

HUNDRED AND TWO YEARS OLD
Was Titns Stevens, Who Died in
Worth County Friday.

FROM the Albany Herald.
News has reached the city of the.
death at his home in Worth county,
about two miles from the Dougherty
line, of Titus Stevens, a negro who is
believed to have been the Oldest human
being in this section.
Stevens reputed age was lO2 years.
There is no perfectly authentic record
of the date of his birth, but those who
have investigated his case are OF the
opinion that there is little doubt that
he was born in 1903. During the more
than century spanned by his life ne
has seen the south transformed from
A wilderness. He has been a hard
working man, and had accumulated a
snug competency before the encroach-
ing years laid their enfeehling weight
upon him.
