MARYDEL CIRCUIT CAMP CLOSED SUNDAY
Meetings Which Have Been 10 Progress Since
August 4, the Most Successful Ever Held.

The Marydel Camp, with Rev. E.
H. Collins, pastor in charge, which
has been in progress since August 4,
closed Sunday night after one of the
most successful series of services, ever
held on this Peninsula. AS to the
financial end of the camp, enough
funds were secured to more than pay
the indebtedness of over $1,000, leav-
ing a substantial balance in the
treasury. The expense of erecting a
new auditorium and thirty tents, was
all met and the encampment of next
year, if it should be decided to hold it
again, will start out free of all indebt-
edness. 1t was intended by Pastor
Collins and Prof. Vansant, the musi-
cal director of the camp, to make Sun
day the greatest day, and they were
not far behind in their intentions.
The morning sermon was preached by
Rev. Thomas Baxter, formerly of Ken
ton, who is a Presbyterian minister in
Northern Pennsylvania. His dis
course on "Ingratitude" was a schol-
arly one and was listened to with in
tense interest. At the altar service
which followed. several asked fol
prayers. Rev. L. Hamond of Engle-
side, preached in the afternoon and
Rev. J. Wilkison, of Wilmington al
night.

kENTON CONSTABLE HELD
FOR COURT FLIMSY CHARGE
WALTER SUDLER, COLORED, CLAIMS con-
STABLE WALLACE POINTED GUN AT HIM.
But Wallace aud His Friends Say the Gun Was
Not Pointed In the Negroes Direction
Constable Was Performing His Duty.

The novel case of an officer of the
law being arraigned before a Magis;
trate on the charge of exceeding his
authority in the performance OF his
duty, drew a large crowd at the office
of Squire Cummins, Monday evening
when Constable William Wallace OF
Kenton was up for a hearing. The
latter was charged by Walter Sudler
colored, with pointing gun at him
during the performance of a medicine
show at Kenton last Thursday even
ing. 1t appears that there was some
disorder among the colored people at
Kenton that night and Constable Wal
lace and his deputy Frank Downs
fearing an outbreak, were keeping
close watch. Sudler with several
of his cronies were there and
under the suspicion of carrying deadly
and concealed weapons, Constable
Wallace ordered Sudler searched. The
latter refused to be searched without a
warrant and refused to give his name.
Later Sudler had a writ sworn
out for Constable Wallace on the
charge of pointing a gun at him.
The arrest was made by Constable W.
Nj. Boyer and at the hearing Monday
evening Magistrate Cummins held
Constable Wallace in bail of 500 fol
his appearance at Court. Constable
Wallace, his deputy and Martin L.
Warner all testified that they were
standing on the street talking, wher
they noticed negro named Briscoe
acting suspiciously back of carriage
near them. When the constable looked
around he saw Briscoe place his hanC
in his hip pocket. Instantly the con
stable seized his gun from the back o
his carriage standing near and covereC
Briscoe till the bailiff searched him
1t was then that Sudler and his crow,
started across the street and the con
stable ordered Sudler searched. Fac
of the white witnesses testified tina
Constable Wallace held the gun acros
, his arm and was not pointing it towar
Sudler. Squire Cummins held tina
Constable Wallace had violated th
law by ordering Sudler to be searched
as "no constable had right to order
suspect searched until after he was al
J rested" The opinion handed dow
has caused much adverse comment
this vicinity for the reason of the pre-
u cedent it sets. 1t is hardly probabl
o that the Grand Jury will take any n,
! tice of it. Constable Wallace will

cows AS MISSIONARIES.

The Great Good That Will he wrought.
 Sometime late in January there will be landed in a southern province in China three missionary cows. They are travelling thitherward from Cali fornia under the safe conduct of the Rev. William N. Brewster, a Method ist Episcopal missionary at Hinghua, South China. A letter written by MT. Brewster and mailed at Honolulu, says that these missionary cattle were en- toying the voyage as well as the rest of the passengers of the good ship Siberia" and that if the skies were as propitious beyond Honolulu as they had been before reaching there, the cows would be landed in China in bet ter condition than when they left San Francisco.
 When MT. Brewster first went to Hinghua. seventy-flve miles south of Foochow, on the coast, in the autump of 1890, there was not a native COW in the whole region that had ever been used for dairy purposes. They use their cows for blowing only. The mis- sionary bought a COW and succeeded in getting about two quarts of milk a day. The milk cost him not less than 10 cents a quart. After while he arranged with native to sell him milk at about 6 centA a quart. During the last twelve years the people of the region have learned the value of milk in sickness. Quite a numurr of men. mostly converts to Christianity, are making d fair living by keeping cows

RUSSIA'S 1905 BUDGET
NO TROUBLE IN RAISING MONEY IS
 ANTICIPATED.
Estimated that s31O,5OO.O0O VIII be Required to Prosecute War Against the Japanese to
 End of Year.

St. Petersburg. Jan. 1S.-In the im- perial budget for 1905, the ordinary revenue Is estimated at $9Ss,522, S04 and the extraordinary revenue at $s,- 794,3Ty. The ordinary expenditure is estimated at $95S,O32,7s5 and the ex- traordinary expenditures at $39.2S4,- 342. The Finance Ministers state ment points out that in accordance with the law of 1890, the budget in- cludes no credits for war expenses. The Minister calculates that the money required in the event of the war con- tiuuing throughout 1905 is partly al- ready available while the remainder can be raised without difficulty.
 It is estimated that by the end of 1905 a total of $310,5O0.0O0 will be produced by extraordinary war credits opened by all the departments of the administration and that this will cover a portion of the expenditure for 1905. The ready cash in the imperial treas ury on January 1, 1904, amounts 10 $176. 100000 which by retrenchment ID the State expenditure, the expenditure of treasury bills, etc, was raised 10 S35S, 700 900 which was utilized for war expenditure in 19O4.
 The extraordinary railroad expendi- ture includes $5.OOO,O00 for double tracking the Siberian Railroad and an additional $sOo.OO assigned to the ae- count of the Baikal Railroad. The Ministers estimates are evidently based on the belief that the war has had no appreciable effect on commercial activity, and referring to the financial and economic position of the empire he expressly states that all his data are calculated to strengthen rather than shake confidence in Russian finances. Although it is eleven months since the war began the minister says the monetary system of the empire re- mains perfectly steady and the PraSS

of the rouble has not changed. Through realizations on i've per cent treasury bonds abroad the amount of gold in tho treasury rose from $529, 100000 at the end of 1903 to $614.50O,000 on July IA, 1904 and this amount had not decreased up to December 21. This condition of the gold reserve was a favorable symp- tom. The harvest of 1904 yielded 26.- 100, ,000, 900 pounds, being 6.4 per cent in excess of the harvest of 1902. The effect of the war has made itself prin- cipally felt In a decreased production of articles of luxury.
 The value of Russia's foreign trade the first eleven months Of 1904 amount ed to $6ST 100000, falling but little short of the figures for the exceptionally favorable year of 1903.
 The minister adds that no far-reach- ing disturbance of state and national economy has yet appeared, indicating that the first year of the war has pass ed satisfactorily from an economic point of view although the effect of the war on the country's economic condi- tion Is indisputable.

Such day unhap- oily has past. Two classes of maga- zines have now come to the front and obscured the worthy but modest publi- cations. These classes as a rule are without high aim or noble ambition. The one seeks to gain circulation, and consequently advertising and wealth, by pandering to the besotted reader of cheap fiction. The other has outyel- lowed journalism.
