Causes Sorrow in Washington.

News of the death of the young man was
received here by friends of the family late
yesterday afternoon, but no particulars of
the accident were given. His death caused
sincere sorrow here. He had not yet cele-
brated his eighteenth birthday, but had
made many friends among those who had
become acquainted with him. He was re-
garded expert in the handling OF
horseless vehicles and always rode in
of the latest pattern.
Those who were most intimate with him
say his thoughts were always of others and
not of himself. He never happier than

messages of coincidence TO his parents upon

Among the first to learn of the accident
was Mr.. T. a. Wickersham who has been
Mr.. Walsh's confidential agent and near
est friend In this city. He informed
by a message from the secretary to Mr..
Walsh while at Chesapeake Beach, and he
Immediately sent a message to the parents,
expressive OF his regret.
The news proved severe shock to Mr..
Wickersham, who had known the young
man since the time of his birth In Lead

During all these years Mr.. Wickersham has
relations were such that he felt he was
more than friend of the young man. He
was SO overcome with sorrow that he was
scarcely able TO converse with Star re-
porter who called him by phone at Chesa-
peake Beach to inquire for particulars.

OF his great influence to prevent a rupture

Is engaged In a supreme effort to induce
the ENJOYS of the belligerent governments
to compromise their differences and reach
an agreement that will result in "a Just

In this effort he has the active and cor
dial support of Great Britain, France and
Germany Tremendous and worldwide
pressure is being brought to bear upon the
governments at ST. Petersburg and Tokyo
not to permit the Portsmouth conference
to fail of affirmative result. 1t can be said
that there is ground for the hope that it
will not fail.
Baron de Rosen. Russian ambassador to

A Tactful Invitation.

AT the early morning conference in NJ.
Whites rooms only Assistant Secretary
Peiree and Baron Rosen were present. AL
though 1t Is impossible to give details. 1t
can be stated that the Presidents invita-
ton to Baron Rosen was extended in the
most tactful manner. and was heartily
welcomed by both NJ. Witte and Baron
Rosen. who Immediately assured Mr.. Peirce
of their confidence and appreciation of the
Presidents desire for peace.
just what connection Baron Kaneko has
with the japanese mission here cannot be
learned but before leaving Washington
Mr.. Takahira the Japanese minister in
sisted that Baron Kaneko had not partici-
pated in the preliminary negotiations, and
would not go to Portsmouth during the
conference. His frequent conferences with
the President however. leads to the belief
that he must be in very close touch with
Baron komura and with the home gov
ernment. Even among the members of the
Japanese mission there is noted a diver
gence of personal opinion to the course
Japan should pursue.

Russian Opinion.

The members of the Russian mission. who
remained at the hote discussing a possible
intervention of President Roosevelt, con-
slider it as most natural. saying that moth
ing prevents power from offering its good
offices to belligerent countries even while
the conflict is going on. But the more so
when negotiations have been proceeding
However, any offer of assistance will not
in any way bind either party. Still there
is no doubt that the action of President
Roosevelt is looked upon especially by the
russians as having the possibility of
changing the situation in the three days
recess from the last meeting.
Great confidence is expressed in the abil-
ity of Mr.. Meyer in St. Petersburg. and the
influence which in his short sojourn there
he has been able to exercise In political as
well as in court circles.
Mr.. Sato says that neither Baron Komura
nor Mr.. Takahira will visit President
Roosevelt during the interim before the
Tuesday meeting of the conference. He
states further that no one connected with
the Japanese mission will make the trip to
Oyster Bay, and that no communication is
expected with the President, except, per-
Saaps, through Baron kaneko, who is now

THE SABBATH SCHOOL.
Its Relation to the Lords Work. The Obiga-
tons of Parents and Church Members
(BY ONE INTERESTED IN THEM)

remaining away from Sunday school
themselves, but also allowing their
children to do SO.
1 feel sure all our Sunday school
workers will bear me out in the
statement that the greatest Difficult
ty in the way, the greatest hind
rance and drawback to the Lord S
work in the Sunday schools in our
town, is the extreme Indifference on
the part of great majority of the
parents and older church members.
Such position on the part OF the
parents and adult church members
is sure to have q two-fold effect
against this part Of Gods work. 1t
not only detracts from the attend
ance and lessons interest on the
part of others, but it also disheart-
ems and discourges our workers
and those who do come.
Another difficulty in the way,
and this is by no means a small one,
is parents not sending their chill
dren regularly, even though it be
impossible to come themselves.
Our primary teachers are often met
with this kind of an answer to the
inquiry why the children were alb
sent last Sunday: Il did not get
M in time, or II did not feel like
getting them ready to go. Let me
ask if your child goes astray-never
becomes a christian and is finally
lost-do you think such an excuse
will be accepted and relieve you OF
this great responsibility at the
Judgment bar of Christ :?
The faithful teachers and Sunday
school workers give their time and
talents Sunday after Sunday in an
earnest endeavor to teach your
children something Of the word OF
God and try to lead them to Christ.
Now. don't you think it is the
least part of your duty and co-opera-
tion to see that your childen attend

earnest searching Of the scriptures
continually by any one simply

true bills and p no bills.
This increase in crime we attrib-
ute wholly to the illegal sale Of
whiskey.
Complaints come from every Sec
ton of the county.
1.-THE reluctance of the buyer to
testify against the vendor makes it
impossible for US to find bills in the
majority of the cases. Atnearly every
gathering of negroes whiskey is on
sale. Besides increasing the cost of
our court, it is becoming a danger to
our moral population, and we fear
will result in a complete depopulation
of the farms. We request that the
better class of citizens assist in every
way possible the officers of the law and
succeeding grand jurors in putting a
stop to this most nefarious traffic. :"

age and going at high tension,
and children S minds are developed
rapidly; therefore, it becomes neces-
sary to keep their minds and talents
continually engaged in the right di-
rection if we desire them to become
christian men and women.
Again, [ believe every christian
in Dawson will agree with me that
the child that is allowed to stay
away from Sunday school, pursue
the course of its own mind and fol-
low its own inclination stands but a
poor chance to become a christian
as compared to child whose par
ents go to Sunday school and carry
the child and give it the advantages
of the christian influence and
christian training that the Sunday
school affords.
Christian fathers and mothers,
let me beg you to arouse yourselves
to full sense of the awful ponsi-
bility that rests upon you as such.
Bestir yourselves to action and neg
lect this great duty no longer, for
NAV not the eternal salvation ofyour
neighbors children, your own chill
dren, yea even your own eternal
destiny and future happiness, be
determined by the course you adopt
toward the Sunday school. ?

Ownership Ticket Claim They
Will Win by Big Majorities.
The municipal race in New York is
growing steady more heated, and for
the next two weeks there will be such
campaigning as has never before
been seen in the city even in presi-
Dental race, says a dispatch from
that city. The fight so far as the may
orally race is concerned has narrow
ed down to a fight to the death be-
tween William Randolph Hearst, the
municipal ownership candidate, and
George B. McCleuand, representing
Tammany Hall. William M. WINS,
the republican candidate, it is gener-
ally conceded is out of the running,
and will finish a bad third. Many
prominent republicans have openly
announced their intention of support
ing Mr.. Hearst, as the only means of
breaking the hold of Charles f.
Murphy on the city government. The
laboring element seems to be prac-
tically solid for Hearst. The straw
votes taken in various industrial es-
Establishments by newspapers, who are
not supporting the municipal owner
ship candidate, show this to be the
fact. The Brooklyn Eagle, for ex-
ample, made q canvass of the Long
Island railroad shops, which showed
that Hearst would receive twice as
many votes as all the other candi-
dates combined. In the newspaper
Offices and other industrial establish
ments the sentiment is reported prac-
tically unchanged. Professional men
and merchants have also announced
their intentions of supporting Mr..
Hearst, and the Tammany leaders,
while claiming tie election of McClel-
land by safe majority, admit that
they are amazed at the growth of the
Hearst movement. 1t was first claimed
by the Tammany leaders that Hearst
would not receive more than Is, 900 to
30, 900 votes. At the Hearst head
quarters the utmost confidence pre-
walls of the election of the entire
municipal ownership ticket by a
sweeping majority. There is little bet
ting on the result, and while in Tam
many circles it is claimed that the
odds are to 5 to one in favor of Me
Clelland, when it comes to putting up
real money the best that can be gotten
in any considerable amount is 2 to /,
and it is probable the betting will be-
even before the end of the week.

SUNDAY EGGS FOR HEATHENs.
Product Of SacrilegiOus Hens to Be

The good women of Bethel Presby-

sionary society the presiding officer

WAYS and means were called for,
and out came the egg suggestion. Al
first it was unanimously popular, but
after the first flush several who have
dozens of prosperous, but sacrilegious
hens objected.
They thought that this would be a
discrimination. They urged long and
loud, but the original motion pre-,
vailed, and the Sunday eggs will
hereafter be turned over to the mis-
sion fund.

so YEARS OF FARM PROGRESS
WONDERFUL CHANGES HAVE
BEEN WRAUGHT BY TIME.
A Few Years Ago Tomatoes, Then
known as Love Apples" Were
Thought to Be Poisonous.

n
The farm gardens, market gardens"
and "truck gardens" of today are the
producers of a multitude of 'miscel-
laneous vegetables" almost unknown
fifty years ago, says Harpers Weekly.
In the census of 1890 the large increase
in garden products was recognized,
and a systematic count of their bulk
and value was made. 1t is possible,
therefore, to make a ten-year com
parison of the increase of such prod
ucts, and this records the remarkable
increases of from 100 per cent. to 400
per cent. in the five several divisions
of the country. The north Atlantic
states had a well developed industry
in "garden products" before 1890,
which accounts for the relatively low
increase. However, 100 per cent. in
ten years, while the population in
creased only a trife over 20 per cent,
is amazing.
Could our great-gran fathers, who
thought tomatoes poisonous, and our
at-grandmothers, who grew them
as ornamental plants in window pots
under the attractive name of Glove
apples, come back and realize that
over 80, 900, 900 bushels are eaten as s.
common and healthful food they
would surely realize that time works
wonderful changes. Another inter-
esting statement is that the lettuce
crop of the south has so increased
that in the spring of this year North
Carolina sent twenty car loads of that
vegeta BILE north in a single day.
Thirty-five years ago celery was a
rarity, even on hotel tables, and was
used by few families, even of wealth.
Today it is common edible, occupy
ing thousands of acres in Michigan,
! Ohio and New York. One firm has
Icelery farms Michigan, Florida and
California, and because of the variety
of seasons it is engaged in shipping
celery by the carload the whole year

of radishes and 1900, 600 punches of
asparagus are the figures for the
