HOME MISSION MATTER.
Mrs. H. G. Peery, Editor.

Our co-workers will learn with regret
that Mrs. w. G. Ratcliffe, who for 50 many
years has been faithful and successful in
her superintendency Of the Department OF
Tithing, has been forced to resign on ac-
count of failing health. At called meet
ing Of the Board, Miss Emma Tucker was
unanimously elected her successor for the
unexpired term and will begin work at
once. The Board is fortunate in securing
the services of woman whose rare gifts
and spiritual nature have made her q
prominent figure in Southern Methodism
The following clipping from the Deacon
ess Advocate re-emphssizes the Importance
of Home Mission work among the Chinese
and japanese who land on our shores:
. "a god ten feet high was recently at
tached in San Francisco among other val.
uables to satisfy the creditors of certain
Chinaman."
"Our Homes" has notice to the effect
that Miss Bennett has enough means tc
finish and furnish the Boys Dormitory al
London, KY, and asks that no more
money be sent her for that purpose
Isn't it something almost "new under the
sun" to ask people to stop giving to GER
tain objectH We will be glad to see the
day when this kind of giving will be re-
peated again and again.

Deacon Draws Beer.

Gettysburg, Pa, Feb. 27.-Bishop Pot
ter and the Subway Tavern have been
discounted in the nearby village of Hun
telstown, where a Sunday school superin-
tendent and Methodist Episcopal church
deacon now stands behind the bar Of the
local tavern, mixing cocktails and drawing
beer like veteran.
For long time the saloon had been
conducted in manner unsatisfactory to
the churcbmen of the town. Finally the
landlord, Franklin Thomas, told bis critics
they had better supply him with a bar
tender who could run things on an ap-
proved Potter basis.
The offer was accepted, and George Lit
tie, the most prominent church worker in
town, was selected.
Deacon Little demurred, but at length
bis duty was made clear to him, and he
donned white apron and went to work
One effect of the "reform" is said to be
the presence in the barroom as patrons, oi
some very good churchmen who hitherto
gave the tavern a wide berth.

japanese advanced in great force, meeting
with stubborn resistance.
The capture of Da pass opens the road
to Fushun east of Mukden and Tie pass,
but the Russians are gathering strong
force to meet the threatened attack on
their line OF communications.
The japanese attack was supported by a
strong park of artillery, a reserve of seven
batteries being discovered east of Kando-
lesin, which is yet silent.
The japanese army now holds line
from Syaobehe opposite Dzanhantan,
through Shahopao along the Shakhe river
to Vanrpudzi and thence to Da pass and
Loumadzi southesstward.

of the Shakhe at Vanupudzi and attacked
tho Russian center under cover of dark
ness Feb. 26, driving back the Russian
advance posts, but supports came up and
stopped the Japanese advance. The offi-
Ger in command of the japanese heard the
Russians cry out that their cartridges were
exhausted and they thereupon advanced
incautiously and received volley at point
blank range, losing heavily.

Cuba's Bright Outlook.

Frank Steinhart, United States COR
sui general at Havana, in a report to
the state department makes some in
teresting statements regarding the
progress of the new republic of Cuba.
The receipts of the government for the
fiscal year ended June 80, 1904, were
$50. .241.10 and the expenses ST.
900. .55S. 10. The balance in the treas
ury, including s., ,96S 6S9.37 on hand July
/, 1903, was $500, 0,372.37. Payments
of interest had been met on the 49,
100000 of bonds floated to pay the
army of independence and on the S3,-
100000 Cuban junta bonds issued dur
ing the revolution, the total public
debt of the island, and the bonds were
selling above par.
The exports of the island for the cal
endar year 1908 were S7S,4SG,409 as
against S64,94S, ,SO4 for 1902. Returns
for the fiscal year have not yet been

Cuba has now 573 miles of public
railways and a great number of plan
tation railways, which import a large
amount nf American steel and railway
supplies. The Havana electric rail
way opc7ates a mileage of 1922 and
gives excellent service. The telegraph
service is extensive and good, the rates
being about the same as those Of tele-
graph companies in the United States.
Telephone lines are in operation in all
the larger cities and towns. Three ca
bic lines connect the island with the
outside world and one runs around
the island Steamships of twelve com
panics STOP regularly at Cuban ports.
The cleanliness inculcated and en-
forced during the period of military
occupation is strictly adhered to, ald
the sanitary condition of the country
is constantly improving. The water
systems of The large cities are satisfac-
tory, particularly that at Havana,
which carries the purest water to the
city from the springs of Vento, nina
miles distant, through the magnificen!

Life and property in Cuban cities and
towns are well protected by the munic-
ipal police forces. The maintenance of
safety in country districts and along
highways is intrusted to the rural
