Our Growing Naval Strength

During the present fiscal year, which
ends on June 80. 1906, the United
States will become indisputably the
third naval power in the world. In
this period there will be more additions
to the active list of the navy in the
way of ships than ever before in like
time. The new ships which will be
placed in commission include the battle
ships Virginia Nebraska, Georgia,
New Jersey, Rhode island, Connecti-
cut and louisiana, the armored cruis-
ers California, South Dakota, Tennessee
and Washington, and the protected
cruisers ST. Louis, Milwaukee and
Charleston There will leave very few
ships under construction, less than
have ever been under way since the
beginning Of what is known as the new
navy, and unless congress at it's next
session promptly authorizes new ships
the American navy WIN begin to take
the down grade and will shortly fall
behind several other nations in sea
power-New York Tribune

STANDING Up for Himself

A New hampshire innkeeper was no
torious for the bad quality of his beer.
A joker from Sunapee, a gentleman
named Perley, said one day that he
would put up a trick on the innkeeper,
and, as he sat at a table with some
friends in the inn, he poured lot of
vinegar and pepper into glass of
beer before him.
Then Perley made horrible face and
roared out

PASTORS FIST A SERMON
Oklahoma Preacher Carries Out a
Threat to "Beat the
Truth In"
Special to The Herald.

LAWTON, Okla, Dec. 1.-The Rev.
r. H. Simms. n Baptist preacher.
has started to beat the truth into some
peoples heads" sooner than was ex-
pected, when he announced from the
pulpit that he would have to start that
sort of campaign.
Mr.. Simms and William Scott, a
wealthy farmer and school director, met
In front of the school house as the con-
gregation was dispensing. Mr.. Scott
opened hostilities by saying:
You're blasphemer; you have
preached what is untrue; you have un-
churched the rest of the neighborhoJd
but your own little flock"
ITS lle!"
1T is the truth for you have lust said
in your sermon that after man is con :
verted he can go out and kill his fellow
man and yet not be deprived of his
right to the kingdom of heaven"
Biffl and William Scott fell senseless
to the ground. The wife of the pros
trate man intervened and the preacher
struck her twice on the arm. Women
and children screamed and fed. 1t
looked as If a free for all fight was
about TO ensue. Friends took the
preacher in charge. and the affair was
ended, unless the courts have word to
say.
The affair was due to a conflict of
dates that produced temper In the
minds of the Missionary Baptists and
the Free win Baptists. Mr.. Slmms, OF
the former faith, had an appointment to
preach when the Rev, w. c. Austin, OF
the latter faith. returned from Arkansas
and called meeting for the same hour.
Mr. Simms preached and Mr.. Austin
made notes,
Some assertions made by the preach
er were hissed by part Of the congrega-
and said: Brother Smith. We'll have Ia
beat the truth into some peoples
heads"

Praises Mission Workers

1t was only Il man lying drunk on
the street. surrounded by q molly,
jeering crowd of men and boys. The
man was well dressed, but that made
no difference. 1t is always the way to
'llick the fellow that is down." and this
man was surely down, lying PROSTATE

nuttered-"inasmuch as We
did 1t unto the least of these, we did 1t
unto me-" pressed her way through the
crowd, which was by this time calling
for the police, and helped the man to
his feet and was trying to get him
through the crowd which was angry
because its brutal sport was interrupt
ed, when she was Joined by another
woman, and together they guided his
unsteady steps to the mission, u few
doors distant
At the mission the man was put upou
a comfortable couch and was carefully
watched by the mission workers. The
first words that reached him after his
drunken stupor was a song of praise
and words of prayer, which We're, per-
haps, the first he had heard i'm years
Soon he became interested, listening
to the stories of redeemed lives told bS
converts of the mission and his whole
life passed in a panorama before him
From a listener he became a partici-
pant in the service and professeG
Christianity.
He left the mission new man
ready to face the world, saying thai
he was reclaimed from a drunkard'
fate by the kindness Of those of the
mission who rescued him. The mar
was Texan. and, i'm the gallant terms
of southerner, said that his rescuei
had shown bravery that required moro
courage than If she had rescued him

RAISE $4,000
FOR OCCIDENTAL
IMMAN ELS CONGREGATION
SUBSCRIBES FUNDS
Hopes to Be Able to Contribute
100000 Toward School Fund-Dr.
Walker breaches Eloquent
Sermon

Twenty-three thousand dollars was
subscribed at the morning service at
Emmanuel Presbyterian church yester-
day for the Occidental college endow-
ment fund. This sum, with that already
given by o. T. Johnson, a member of
the church, makes $4,000 from this
church, and 1t is hoped to reach the
100000 mark within the week. DR..
Hugh X. Walker, the pastor is actively
engaged in raising the 100000 erdow-
ment fund and preached yesterday
morning on THE Christian College as a
Perpetual Making Force" He
took for his text the incident In the
career of King Uzziah, who called in
skilled engineers Of Jerusalem in the
invention and construction of the
mighty engines of war that furnished
protection to the city. He spoke of the
value of educated and well-trained men
to every community and in every age
of the world. He said:
There were doubtless colleges and
universities in the old cities of Baby
lonia, Egypt and Assyria and from
them went out hosts of well-educated
and splendldly equipped men. And
King UZziah, with all his wealth and
political power, would have been help
less without the aid of these skilled
men. 1t Is necessary now to have these
institutions of higher learning. They
mould society, working from the top to
the bottom. Every class of men in the
community Is benefited by the ideas
and ideals which colleges and univers-
tiles furnish to the world.
Los Angeles herald., 1905-12-04
Secs Value of Education

The things that are of most practical
advantage to the race must inevitably
trace their origin back to the principles
laid down by some Schoolman-some
one whom we scorn sometimes as a
mere theorist. The thinkers come be-
fore the doers and the institutions that
teach men to think and inspire men to
be inspirers are to be encouraged and
Loyalty sustained. When we speak of
self-educated men we forget that the
means OF their so-called self-culture
nave come through the books and ap-
pl1ances furnished by the students and
scholars who have passed through and
mastered the curriculum of some COL
lege or university. Abraham Lincoln
mighty man that he was, would have
failed In many respects If he had not
been surrounded by men who were
proficient in all the departments of
technical knowledge. And it is we'll
known fact that where institutions for
developing such men are lacking, the
race is stagnant and society decays
The college therefore is beyond any
doubt Misunderstanding force.
But in order that such a force may
become perpetual, it must be equipped
and endowed. The principle must be
incarnated; the spirit embodied. 1t can
not be counted really as an institution
Gether, unless its work can go on long
after those who first projected it have
passed away. And for one generation
who possessed the desire and also the
means to sustain such an institution,
TO allow it to pass on to another gen.
GRAFTON, who either through disincli-
nation or poverty may allow this cher
ished institution to die, is to say the
least improvident and foolish. 1t is
right that it should be endowed so that
amid all vicisstudes it may send forth
streams of blessing for a thousand
years. And in this way money achieves
an immortality which it would other
wise lose.
But the college should be kept in
close touch with a genuine and suffi-
ciently aggressive type of religion, so
that it may be kept to it's highest end,
that of forming character; that of
making men fit citizens for two worlds.
Education may become grossly ma
terialistic and utilitarian. We must be
always on our guard to keep the best
things good. Let our watchword be
Education. Yes, but Christian educa-
ton"
He that is without sin among you,
let him first cast IL stone,' the gentle
reproof of the Nazarene, so often un-
needed by the multitude that adher-
ence to it would cause remark, was
again demonstrated a few days ago
on Main street.

AMERICANS HAVE BEEN
. SOLD FAKE PICTURES

Rome, Feb. I4.-The Messagero,
speaking of the many bogus works OF
art purchased in Europe by American
collectors and dealers, has this to say
regarding the museums OF New York:
u. P. Morgan is much worried be-
cause the greater part OF the art works
he has collected at great cost are imi-
tations. The citizens of New York
arc even more to be pitied than Mr.
Morgan, as their Metropolitan muse
um contains articles which are even
less genuine that the tiara Of Saltap-
hernes. There is a feeling OF indigna-
ton against those Europeans who have
profited on the good faith of the
American public in the daily press OF
the city.
Even the famous collection OF
drawings possessed by the Vanderbilts
is the work of clever imitators. The
statues of Tanagra, in possession .of
Mr.. Carnegie, are the worko OF an every
day plasterer, and all the millionaires
who have taken up the role OF art
patrons have been cruelty deceived" '
