WASHINGTON GROVE, Nd, July %. 1905.
Inc Methodists of the Washington dis
trict of the Methodist Episcopal Church
have concluded the thirty-second annual
camp meeting held in this place. The
Grove, which was purchased by a little
band of churchmen thirty-two years ago
for camp meeting ground, and which has
since become a popular summer resort for
Washingtonians, has seldom seen a more
enthusiastic or better attended camp meet
ing, but the old fervor, the shouting and
night saw the END of ten days of meeting,
yet no great wave of the spirit brought
scores to the altar.
This condition of affairs is duly recog-
nized by Presiding Elder Henry r. Naylor.
and is taken as a sign that the ''old emo
tional days" of Methodism in this country
are over.
THE people are more earnest today, per-
haps, and see more clearly the real mean
ing of the camp meeting" he said to a Star
reporter. They are no less deeply moved
than in the good old days, but the time has
passed when exhorter can stir them up
to great show Of emotion. A speaker can
talk until doomsday with such an intention
and they will sit quietly through 1t all.
II have noticed the same thing" he con-
tnued, lin other parts of my district, and
believe that it is condition that has come
to stay
The members of the Methodist Episcopal
Church here feel proud of their record in
this long series of camp meetings, and ,espe-
cialiy are they thankful for the success of
the last meeting. The number of people
who came to the grove from the country

FEEDING HARVESTERs.
The Farmers Wives of Indiana At.
tempt Reform.

From the Chicago Chronicle
In the Indianapolis belt profuse repasts
especially at noon-have been the ems
tom OF the country during the harvesting
season The housewives have provided
shch tempting yet satisfying viands as
corned beef and cabbage bacon and
greens, spare ribs and sauerkraut and
roaStS or various kinds, topped off with
three kinds of pie and pudding ad libitum,
10 these reflections the valiant trencher-
men, fresh from the fields of waving
grain, nave done ample justice, with the
result that the harvest has been garnered
with great expedition and cheerfulness
II now appears that the farmers wives
have decided that these harvest feasts
are mere carnal indulgences calculated
10 encourage swilling and gorging. They
have, therefore, resolved that the har-
Vesters and thrashers shall be subsistei
upon cold victuals, the foundation of the
bill of fare being hard-boiled eggs and
saleratus bread washed down by unin-
spring draughts OF lutkewarm tea-the
whole TO be taken to the fields and eaten
under the, trees instead of at table on
farmhouse porch. This. has naturally pro-
Voked seditious mutterings. There are
prospects of open rebellion.
And there ought to be. If the laborer
be worthy of his hire he is likewise
worthy of his dinner, and tradition stands
appalled, at the spectacle of a harvest
hand being put off with hard boiled eggs
and cold bread for his midday meal The
thing is destructive of all the presidents
of American hHsbandry and IL is small
wonder that the sturdy harvest hands of
the Indiana wheat fields are coutemplat-
ing a general exodus
The muzzlng of the OK which treads
out the corn is forbidden. The sttnting
of the hired man who gathers the copn is
equally sinful.

San Juan Hill Seven Years Later.
Richard Harding Davis, in scribner's.


E On July /. seven years ago. when the
American army came upon 1t out of the
jungle the place wore a partial disguise.
1t still was irregular ridge of smiling,
sunny hills with fat. comfortable curves,
and in some places steep, straight front
But above the steepest, highest front frown-
ed an aggressive block house, and on all
the slopes and along the sky line were rows
of yellow trenches, and al the base cruel
cats cradle of barbed wire. 1t was like
the face of a pretty woman behind the bars
of a visor. find that on the day OF the
fight seven years ago l cabled my paper
that San Juan Hill reminded the American
of "a sunny orchard in New Eng, and" That
was how 1t may have looked when the reg.
ulars were climbing up the steep front to
capture the block house, and when the cav
airy and Rough Riders. having taken ket-
tie Hill were running down its opposite
slope past the lake, to take that crest OF
San Juan Hill which lies to the right or
the block house. 1t may then have looked
like a sunny New England orchard, but be-
fore night fell the .intrenching tools had
lent those sunny slopes "a fierce and terri
BILE aspect" And after that, hour after
hour, and day after day, we saw the hill
eaten up by our trenches, hidden by a vast
laundry of shelter tents, and torn apart by
bomb-proofs their jutting roofs of logs and
broken branches weighed down by earth
and stones and looking like the Pltmouths
to many mines. That probably Is how most
OF the American army last saw San Juan
Hill and that probably Is how 1t best re-
members it-as a fortified camp. That was
seven years ago. When, few weeks since.
revisited 1t, San Juan Hill was again a
sunny, smiling farm land, the trenches
planted with vegetables, the roofs of the
bomb proofs fallen in and buried beneath
creeping vines, and the barbed wire entaa-
clements holding in check only the brows-
ing cattia.

These gatherings did not all take place
in the new al ditoriIm but many of them
were held in other buildings near the CEN

800 Methodists.
The population of this place is now some
thing like six hundred, of which over five
hundred are members of. the Methodist
Episcopal Church. So the ideas of the
founders chat this should be a Methodist
place are carried out in general. Many
other denominations are represented, how
ever, sometimes many as twelve and
fourteen being at one meeting. The musical
director of the meetings was Percy S. Fos-
ter, a prominent Baptist of Washington.

ings were held and which is still the prn-
