 Fallen Humanity-cen-
 tinues Today.

The earnestness of purpose that has characterized the seventh annual meet ing of the woman's Board of Home Missions of the Methodist Church, South, was evidenced again yesterday when the band of women delegates from all Southern States had three ses- sions, morning. afternoon and night at which the work of the various mis- sions was reported and discussed.
 The reports included the work among Chinese and Japanese on the Pacific coast: work among the Cubans in Florida; the rescue of fallen women by the Home maintained in Dallas. Texas, and a statement as to the condition of the Methodist school for negroes in Augusta, Ga.
 Officers of the Supply Department and of the Press Committee. reviewed the work accomplished by these branches during the year showing gratifying growth.
 At night the women heard a splen- did address by Dr. O. E Watson or spartanburg. & C.. on "Mili People of the South" It was an earnest appear for missionary work among the opera tives of Southern cotton mills.

AFTERNOON SESSION.
DiscussIon of Bible study by the Dele
 gateG.

Discussion of Bible study by the Dele
 gatef.
 The afternoon session was called to order at 1:80 o'clock, Miss Bennett pre- siding.
 The topic taken up at the school of methods was Bible Study. The first speaker was Mrs. Robert SommerviIIe. She said that the question whether or not one needed to study the Bible re- solved itself into a question of whether or not that person had religion. She said that two great elements of Chris tianity are Bible study and prayer [. Mrs. Sommerville contended that one of the best ways to become familiar with the Bible is to memorize as many passages as possible. She said that all though books are advantageous to any person. the Bible Is the only book ab- solutely necessary for a life.
 In studying the Bible, she said, text books are not absolutely necessary, al- though by an intelligent use of these books they are advantageous.
 Miss Bennett said that a method, which she had used and had used to advantage, was to study the different characters in the Bible as one studies the different characters in ones city. Their parents, occupations, home. etc.. should be learned and the characters should be made a part of one's life.
 Miss Bennett was followed by Mrs. L. P. Norheet
 Work in Dallas, Tex.
 Mrs. W. H. Johnson, superintendent of the Rescue Home and Training School at Dallas, Tex, told of her work among the fallen women, and told Of how some of them are now leading most useful Christian lives. She nar- rated many instances of their downfall and demanded a single standard of nor als for the sexes
 ITO do that" she said, "the women of the Southern Methodist Church must unite and carry on the battle with all the energy they possess"
 At the close of her remarks a volun- tary subscription of about $50 was raised.
 Miss Mary. Bruce told of the work be- ing done at Tampa among the Cubahs. She reported the same success at Tam pa that Miss Reid reported at Key West during the morning session. She told of the day nurseries maintained. the kindergarten and the night school and complimented the work of nativS Italian missionary.
 Mrs. McEachern reported progress in the McEachern brigade, the organiza- tion of children, who. with mite boxes. intend tn raise $10,0O0 to put with the SIG. .OOO donated by Mrs. McEachern for the erection of a memorial hospital to her little daughter.
 School for Negroes A report from Miss Efie Grant su- perintendent of the Industrial School for Negroes at Augusta, Ga, showed progress and fine work by the negro boys and girls there in school
 Miss Bennett told of the origin of the work for negroes by the Woman's Home Mission Society. She said that few years ago it was decided that the Wo- mans Home Mission Society could not afford to look out for the red men. the yellow men, and the white men. and pass over the black men. and small fund was raised to aid the negroes. She told of her own personal work among the negroes Of kentucky ana aave a graphic description of her Bible class of 400 negroes.
 An adjournment was taken at 4;SO o'clock until o'clock.

The Strange Mystery of the Haunt.

Lord CLAIMS, son of the Earl and
Countess of Strathmore, came of age
September -, and the secret Of the
Haunted Room" was communicated
to him by his father. This has been
an invariable practice on such occa-
sions from time immemoriA. What
secret the Haunted Room" contains is
supposed to be passed on to every
heir as lie attains his majority. Thus
its precise nature is In the possession
of never more than two persons at the
same time. Conjecture and traditions
say, however, that in the long ago,
when the Lindsays and Ogilvies were
at feud number of the latter clan
were imprisoned and died in that par
ticular chamber. That the room has
some uncanny peculiarities appears to

denly" so the story runs, "a cold blast
stole into the ladys room, extlnguisfl-
ing the light by her bedside. She saw
tall, mailed figure pass into the
dressing room. Immediately there
after there was shrek from her child
in an adjoining room. Her maternal
instinct was aroused. She rushed into
the dressing-room and found the
child in an agony of fear. 1t described
what it had seen as "a giant" who
came and leaned over it's face"
The operation Mrs Arthur Paget I'M
derwent recently at the hands of Sir
Alfred Fripp was very delicate and
wonderful one, though thoroughly sue
cessful More than a year ago Mrs:
Paget fell down an elevator shaft and
fractured her thigh. The bone failed
to mend and in spite of an operation
and a special course Of treatment I'M
der Prof. Haffa, the great Berlin spc-
list, Sir Alfred Fripp took photograph
of the injured bones by means of TIE
Roentgen rays, which showed that the
fracture was as bad as ever. 1t was
necessary to make an incision 50 that
the fractured bones could be reached.
These were screwed together with
ivory, and it is confidently believed
that in few months time they will
knit and become strong enough to bear
the weight of the body. In spite OF
the agony extending over thirteen
months which Mrs. Paget has endured,
she is able to drive out every day in an
open carriage. Mrs. Paget recently
visited the new ward at Charing- Cross
Hospital, built from the proceeds of a
great charity bazaar she organized,
and called the Minnie Paget ward. 1t
contained many fracture cases ana
Mrs. Paget cheered the sufferers great
ly by her hopeful conversation, which
was appreciated even more than the
gifts Of fruit and flowers she bore
to each patient.
Of Abdul-Hamid's two predecessors,
the one was assassinated, the other
went mad and was deposed. These
two tragical events have made the
Sultan immensely suspicious. Always
keeping watch against cOnspirators, ne
regards as his most faithful and useful
servitors the men who spend their
time in discovering his enemies, in
finding out their plans, and in prevent
ing the execution of these plans. The
best rewarded will be he who has
given his Majesty the most exhaustive
information.
AS everybody wants to obtain such
reward, all keep busy collecting
information. Constantinople is a
perfect paradise for the secret police.
In all classes of Ottoman society you
encounter the secret agent; and the
very highest dignitaries gladly fur
nish the Sultan with confidential in

The writer told of great fetes in the
ltttle town of a thousand souls over
the return OF its king, driven out dur

was a picture of little Adelaide, as
the kings daughter, wearing quaint

Barrataria consisted of a city of
some four thousand souls, on a two.
hundred-acre island, reached by long,
heavy bridges from the mainland. II
was an elevated plain, built up solid
with residences and warehouses. Its
people were well-to-do. Many OF
them dried shiploads of herring and
sole, storing their packages of fra
grant fish under open sheds, or II
loosely built frame barns. Others
operated big steamship lines, spend
ing their days at business and theil
resting hours in Barrataria. Others
were gentlemen Of leisure and gam

were intermarrying and rearing sons
