representing % Protestant denomina-
tions, numbering in the aggregate be-
tween 1S,000.000 and 100000 mem
bers OF congregations.
For a number of years there has
been a constant and gradual move
ment among the religious bodies of
this country toward cooperation and
federation; the desire for concerted
action in Christian work with a view
to the spiritual welfare OF the whole
nation. The movement found express
sion several years ago in the organ
ization of the National Federation of
Churches, an unofficial body, which
did a great deal to bring the various
denominations into closer contact and
to establish a better understanding
between the various churches. The
present conference is the first, to
which the various denominations rep
resented in It have officially appointed
delegates.
This conference is in no sense an at
tempt to bring the various religious
bodies of the country into organic
union. 1t is the hope of the leaders
that the conference may create a per-
manent organization of the churches
which will bring the various denomi-
nations into better and closer rela-
tions than ever before existed; an or
ganization that will make it possible
to voice the attitude of the United
Christian churches on great questions.
social, ethical, economic and religious.
Among the speakers who will ad
dress the conference are the foremost
men in nearly every Protestant relig-
ious body in the United States. Among
them there are five bishops of the
Episcopal church, six bishops of the
Methodist church. three of the Metho-
dist church south, two Moravian blsh-
ops and one each from the United
Brethren. Reformed Episcopal and

Justices Harlan and Brewer. of the
United States supreme court, Secretary
of State Root, Senator Beveridge, of
Indiana, Judge Grosscup, of Chicago,
Judge Gray, of the United States cir
cult court, John Wannamaker, and
others of equal prominence. The col
leges and universities will be repre-
sented among the speakers by Pres
ident King, of OberIn; Tucker. of
Dartmouth; Faunce, of Brown; Hall.
of Union Seminary. and Prof. Van
Dyke, of Princeton.
Among the subjects which will be
up for consideration and discussion
will be the relations of united church
to evangelism; to the social order; to
home and foreign missions; to relig
ious education, and to the fellowship
Of faith; the essential unity of Chris
tianity; the relation of the church to
the national life; the kingdom of God;
and the transcendart aim of the

A cash prize Of $3.50 will be given
by the Grand Trunk Pacific railroad
for a suitable name for the city which
is to form the Pacific coast terminal
of that transcontinental line being
built through northern Canada.
The Pacific coast terminal has not
been definitely located as yet, but the
Grand Trunk Pacific says that neither
Vancouver nor any other of the pres
ent British Columbia towns will be
selected for that honor. This system
does not wish to invade the establish
ed strongholds of the Canadian Paci-
fic and for that reason will start a
new coast town, where property is
cheap and a suitable harbor can be
found and will then rival the Cana
dian Pacific for Oriental and inter-
Canadian traffic.
d. s. Dennison, engineer in charge
of division of the Grand Trunk Pa
cific east of Winnipeg. was in the
land and spoke entertainingly of the
work on the great trunk line across
Canada, to the East Oregonian.
| He says that 1900 miles of grade is
yet to be built and at least 5000 la
borers will be employed in this work.
Chinese, Russian, Japanese, Hungar-
| ians, Dukhobors, Canadians and Indi-
ans are employed at present and the
work is being rushed as rapidly as
| possible.
Portions of the line have been con-
structed and are in operation in east
ern Canada, and smaller systems
which have been purchased by the
| trunk line In Alberta and British CO.
lumbia are now in operation. but the
gap of 1900 miles between the COM
pleted ends must be closed. 1t is
hoped to have the grade work done
by July, 1907.
Some of the greatest railway
bridges in the world will be built by
the Grand Trunk Pacific in the Sell
kirk range of the Rocky mountains,
and some of the grandest scenery to
be found In all the western world will
be seen along this new line of road.
The Grand Trunk Pacific has just
ordered 1000 box cars with which to
begin its traffic and 1000 flat cars will
be ordered this winter. The locomo-
tive manufactures in the east and in
Canada are so rushed with work that
orders placed by this line for engines
are now months delayed and there is
no telling when Il full equipment of
power can be secured. Small engines
which are too light for either freight
or passenger service are now being
used at the front In construction work.

IS IT POLITE
Gentlemen With Flats To Wear
Please Take Notice.

A subscriber writes to the Capital
Office asking is it polite for gentle
men TO come into an office or emporium
where lady is employed and not I'M
cover his head - The Capital is not
in a position to answer this. Some
argue that men do not take of their
hats when entering store where there
are women clerks. and why should
they when going into an Office or any
other business place.
On the other hand it is declared
that men should uncover their heads
in the presence Of a woman, and when
addressing her. either indoors or ont
of doors. We're the men IN Annapolis.
however, to be guaged as gentlemen
from the fact that they remove their
hats in the presence of women, the
town would have to be gone over with
a fine tooth comb to find gentleman.
Military men, as a class, never remove
their hats in q business office where
there are women. and certainly they are
supposed to be we'll bred and to learn
good manners along with how to stack
guns or fire at targets.
Not long since a certain man in
town entered a business place where
there was we'll bred. refined woman
who was member of the firm and
was keeping books for her husband.
The man did not take of his hat.
The lady. who is not a native born
Annapolifan, thought the gentleman
rude and impolite. and after looking
at his head with the hat on for some
minutes, the lady inquired Is there
anything wrong with your head -
The man blushed, removed his hat
hut has not been in the place since.
Mnral-If gentlemen are in doubt Of
the propriety of removing their hats,
they had better take them off and give
the uncovered head the benefit of the
doubt.
