aAoMEN ORGANIZE CHURCH
Movement Headed by Negro Preacher
Of the Trade in Whining
ton, Delaware.

Multiply the ordinary ragman's cry
by 500 and get an impression Of what
the singing Is like in the new rag
mans church at Cady and Herald
streets, Wilmington, Del. The church
Is an old warehouse, but 1t was dedi-
Gated to religious services, states the
Washington Star. Five hundred rag
men shouted with Joy and sang old
songs to the tune of ANY Rags, Any
Bones, Any Bottles To-Day"
Head and front Of the movement is
Rev. Frank Robinson, negro ragman
on week days and breaches on SUN
day. He tried to get up a great open
air meeting Of ragmen 10 be held SAT-
urday but found that the ragmen
could not afford a holiday. Therefore,
with the assistance of a number Of
white men, he rented the warehouse,
which he has named "Christ's Temple
oi the Willing Workers"
He went about the streets Saturday
calling out the notice of his meet
ing, and from nine o'clock Sunday
morning he waited in his church
for worshipers. They did not come
until evening, but then they came
IN hundreds, large delegation be-
Ing or hand from Chester and Phil
adelphia. Most of them were ne
grocs, but few were white. and they
were welcomed as true ragmen, ire
spective OF color.
In opening his service Rev. Mr..
Robinson offered special prayer for
the protection and salvation of rag.

THE MODEL BARNARD.
Not a Hard Matter to Construct and
Therefore It Should De Possessed
by Every Farmer.

It is not hard matter to construct
model barnyard, and that being the
case there is no reason why the barn
yard should be anything else than
model. The drainage is the first fac
tor In the construction Of a model
barnyard for cows. and this Is requi-
site that is entirely wanting In many
barnyards. The surface drain is es-
sential in most barnyards, especially
II the foundation of the barnyard is
clay. The men that have put in sub
earth drains have found that they did
not work, and on investigation have
learned that the cows had tramped the
mud so firmly over the drain that the
soil has been puddled and no water
could get through to the drain. This
Is the result that has been obtained on
many farms both east and west. We
may say then that the barnyard is
about the only place In which the open
drain els desirable. There are some
soils 20 sandy that It would be impos-
sible to tramp them enough to puddle
them, but we doubt II very manyl n.
yards have soil Of this character.
The model barnyard IL not permitted
to get . rim around It that will tend
to hold In the rain water in summer
and the snow 10 winter. says the Farm
ers' Review. The sinking Of the inside
Of the barnyard 10 common. due to the
hauling away Of the manure and surface
coil. which become insxtricably mixed.
In some bsrnyards this amounts u .
lowering of the whole area for six or
more inches. II this 10 permitted, every
rain will make the barnyard Q very mud
dy place. even II there 10 good surface
drain. Where COWS are kept In the
barnyard ct night II 10 desirable to have
the lay Of land such that In case Of
midnight downpour the animals will not
have to lie or stand In pools Of water.
The model barnyard has . shed In
one end where the cows may 60 from
rain or sun. Here they will be found
when cold rains are falling and here
they, may b milked In comfort. The
paving Of harnyards is praeticed some.
but where the ground 10 hard and fairly
we'll drained It would seem that paving
is an unnecessary expense. The yard
should be cleaned every day when cows
frequent 1t and only In that way can II
be kept In the best OF condition. In say
Ing this. We are not referring to the
barnyard for beef cattle. where 1t is
sometimes desirable to permit the &C.
-umulation Of the manure for the pur-
pose Of helping TO rot the straw and
cornstalks that are being worked into
condition in which It will be possible
to spply them to the land.

MowMo rHE ROADSIDE.


J. Horace Mcfarland. president Of
the American Civic association. writes
In the Country Calendar:
Il am aware that in the prodigality
Of nature there will be, in time, an en-
croachment of growth upon the road
space, and that in the pinched narrow
ness Of our highways .uis may need to
be restrained. Restraint, or selection,
does not mean destruction, however,
The result Of this ruthless moving Of
the roadsides Is always to kill the more
delicate and beautiful Of the shrubs
and flowers. and. by thus disturbing
natures balance, to encourage the
growth of the vigorous but really un-
pleasant weeds which otherwise would
be In the minority. For instance, along
one road with which I am familiar, the
goldenrod. asters and the like have
been destroyed. but each season there
springs up plentiful growth Of dock,
sandburr and other unpleasant weeds.
In another case. the naturally pleasing
combination Of several viburnums,
huckleberries and q dozen herbaceous
plants has been improved until now
The road is bordered only by briers Of
blackberry. which. while they do give
one burst Of flowers and fruit. are not
by any means satisfactory.
'T talked with one Of these super.
visors who was thus improving road
In central Pennsylvania, and found that
he supposed 1t necessary to cut out the
growth in order. as he expressed It, to
cause the road to dry out That H.
the faults of narrowness, careless max.
ing and a gutterless condition were oil
charged to natures effort to beautify
and It was thought wise and right tc
chop of everything that could be cut
away on both sides o. the road"
It would appear. says the Prairie
Farmer that President Mcfarland has
unwittingly gotten the cart before the
horse. It Is the observation of many
men that about the first thing to ap
pear at the side Of the road after the
highway has been cleared Of the natura
underground. Is "the plentiful growth
OF dock. sandburrs and other unpleas
ant weeds"
| Being more vigorous the noxious
weed has no trouble in displacing tn,
grasses and more desirable growths
80 that the only remedy in many casei
is regular moving that the pests MAJ
be kept down and thus prevented from
scattering their seeds over the countr,
side. While we greatly admire a dec
orative roadside with its we'll selected
shrubs growing in more or less nat
ural state, still II We must also hav,
the dock. sandburr. ETC.. we would pre-
fer that everything be cleared that tn,

PUBLIC SCHOOLS CLOSE.

For many years the public schools
Of Lexington have been increasing in
attendance and improving in equip.
ment and elfcency-at no time more
rapidly than under the energetic
superintendent OF Professor G. A Phil

with the State University, and the
work done is Of such character and
the students sent out Of such prepara-
ton that Washington and Lee Univer.
Sity and Westminster College have
offered selected graduates Of the Lex
ington high school scholarships in
their academic departments.
Not only have the graduates Of the
high school attained distinction in
higher institutions Of learning, but
undergraduates in various competi-
tions have reflected credit upon
the training received here. In the
West Central Teachers Association

Independence, Lexington high school
carried off both honors, the boys and

in the afternoon, This arrangement
would not be satisfactory to anybody
and is not to be considered, The
present average Of pupils per room is
higher in Lexington than 10 any other
town of the same size 10 Missouri. It
cannot be doubted that the people,
aroused as they are with the spirit Of
public improvement, will gladly aud
overwhelmingly vote favorably upon
this matter when the Board, In its
judgment, sees fit to submit it.

A DECISIVE NAVAL VICTORY.
All Of the Russian Ships but Two
Destroyed and Both Russian
Commanders Captured.

Probably the greatest naval battle
in the history of the world was fought
Saturday and Sunday at the entrance
of the Sea of Japan by fleets
under the command of Admiral
Rojestvensky and Admiral Togo.
According to the latest reports the
Russian losses we're Is ships sunk and
six captured. Admirals Rojestvensky
and Nebogatoff are said to have been
captured, the former severely injured.
The big fleet of transports and
golfers which accompanied the
Russian war ships was sent to a place
of safety near the coast of China.
1t is said to be Russia's intention to
enter them in Chinese ports and intern
them there. Only two ships of the
Russian fleet escayed in the battle
and made their way to Vladivostok.
These were unimportant vessels of
the torpedo boat destroyer class.
The crews Of these vessels say that
they saw two japanese vessels go
down in the battle and two more on
the point of sinking. Admiral Togo
reports that so far as he knows no
vessel Of his feet was either lost or
seriously injured. His losses in killed
and wounded he estimates at about
5l5. The Russian losses in killed,
wounded and captured are supposed
to be at least 5000.
