legislative stenographers who had the con.
tract Of reporting the testimony for the
committee at 80 cents q foli . had sublet their

Woo president ON PRAYER.

Vice President Fairbanks, while sight
seeing at Valley Forge yesterday with
Congressman Butler and Prof. Phillips,
with whom he came over in an auto
mobile from West Chester, on an invi-
tation by Rev. Herbert Burk, made an
address in Washington Memorial Episco-
pal Church. He took for his theme the
value of prayer, and pointed to the rec
IGNITION of its efficacy by Washington,
Lincoln and By Mckinley during the
wars of their time. He said that this is
distinctively Christian nation aud that
for this reason it is appropriate that a
memorial chapel should be erected on
this sacred spot. His remarks, while
impromptu, we're replete with patriotic
feeling. 1t was the Vice Presidents
first visit to the historic camp ground.
