owns the Pearl.

The supreme court at Hamburg has
rendered decision in the case of a
pearl, valued at over $3.50. found in
her mouth by woman, who, accom-.
panied by male escort, was eating
oysters in a restaurant. The woman
claimed the pearl, and her escort sup,
ported her claim, but the proprietor of
the restaurant sued to recover the
pearl on the ground that shells, like
chicken bones, were by tradition left
by customers, and were a source OF
profit to the proprietor. The court
decided that the pearl did not belong
to the woman who found it nor to the
proprietor, but to the man who paid
for the oysters.

sUNKEN SHIPS NO GOOD.
Expert Says Russian Vessels Are
Worthless.

The military expert of the London
Daily Times has completed an inspec-
ton of the sunken battleships in Port
Arthur harbor, and is responsible for
the statement that the Japanese decla-
rations that nearly all of the sunken
Russian ships could be rendered SER
viceable again, is not founded on fact.
He says that the Japanese would be
lucky if they can save the Poltava,
Peresviet and Pallada, with just a
chance that the Bayan can be raised.
The Retvizan will never be of any
further service and the damage to
the Pobieda is so great that, even if
they succeed in raising that vessel, it
is extremely doubtful if she will be
serviceable.

of the oldest citizens remember the
excitement of 1862, when Mr.. Hamil-

of $4,000.
The two volumes referred to con-
tain the list of the soldiers Of the

and were entitled to the bounty.
Hundreds of these received their boun-

Novel Remedy Suggested For
Preaching Sermons on Too
Many Different Subjects
in FAVOR OF COLLEGIATE PLAN
Or. Ward, Pastor Of tho Iowa City ALL
Souls Church, Says the People
Should Hear Sermons Founded Upon
Research as Profound a. That of
Any Collegiate Scientists
Special to Tlmes-Re Republican

Special to Times Republican,
Iowa City, Jan. 11.-"Pastors in the
churches today are forced to preach too
many sermons on too many widely DIFF
ferent themes" Such is the conclusion
reached by DR.. Duren J. III. Ward, pas
authority on archaeology. Everywhere"
he says, "the age has tended to spec
ialization. And to attract the attention
OF the public the work of the minis
ter must be especially strong. If min
listers could treat, say eight to q dozen
themes year instead OF fifty to one
hundred. and give all of their time and
energy to these limited themes, they
would be pursuing the method Of the
age.
The first remedy for this evil" he
continues, rs in collegiate preaching.
by this | mean the delivery Of sermons
founded upon research as profound as
that of any collegiate scientists. Since
there must be meetings in every church
every Sunday: since every minister ev-
cry year breaches on five times too
many themes; thence. to treat only
legitimate number, he must arrange
With say four other ministers for mu-
tual relief, opportunity and help. There
fore, let each remain the pastor of the
church where he Is now located and
let him continue to perfor mhis usual
clerical and PASTORAL duties. Let each,
months beforehand, work out say four
themes, and at the beginning of the
church year eXpound them to his
church during four Sundays. Let each
then go for four weeks to one of the
other four churches in the combine and
eNpound the same four themes, study
ing them deeper and doing the work
better Let each continue to speak his
special phase of truth and gospel, his
best and profoundest message to each
of the five churches. Half OF the
church year will then have been COM
pleted and the minister will again have
prepared sermons with which to begin
the second period. In this way the
greatest interest will be maintained in
the church work"
