.BAPTISTS IN
CONVENTION
(Scripps News Association.)

CHICAGO, Ill.,. Oct. 25.-The Ma
tional Baptist convention, which
was to be held here September 49,
10, but was postponed owing to the
prevalence of yellow fever in the
south and the strict quarantine reg
ulations enforced all through the
south, opened here today. The
postponement made it possible for
many southern delegates to at
tend, who would have been unable
to come had the convention not
been postponed. The Woman's
Auxiliary of the National Baptist
convention will hold its meeting
here at the same time. The Ma
tional Baptist convention will last
until the end of the month and pro-
misses to be very interesting and
important. The attendance is very
large, and all part parts of the
United States are represented by
delegates.

and learned how a trust in him
would have saved her from SO

CI1Y'S HEALTH

The auditing committee of the
city council refused to pay to Dr.
P. D. Mccormack the sum of ST.
for work done for the city in test
ing milk, saying the claim was not
warranted.
DR.. Mccormack, who is the city
bacteriologist, is allowed a salary
of $40 per month. He is supposed
to see that all milk sold in the city
is clean, pure and free from for
maldehyde. This, it is said, can
not be done on $40 per month.
DIR. G. v. Genoway states that
the bill presented to the committee
is not exhorbitant and should be
paid. The city's health is consid-
cred worth ST..

rejuvenated from the ashes and
ruins of the fire which destroyed
nearly the whole town about year

HAZLETON, Pa, Oct. 25.-Com-
pany stores, run by the same men
who own the mines and the rail-
roads and the half fallen down
houses where the miners live, are
doing business at the old stand.
The object is to keep the miner
always in the company's debt and
without money to live on in case of
strike.
A miners wife accompanied me
on a little shopping trip in order to
get an idea of the difference in
prices. We found the company store
asked from l to cents more on
the pound for groceries, and from 1
to 3 cents yard more for cali

the Independent grocer gave better
