YORK FOR SAILORS.
Fine New Building to Be Erected in
New York by American Sea-
mems Friend Society.

Having sold to New York city the
premises No. 100 Cherry street, used
for many years as a Sailors home, the
American Seamen's Friend society has
purchased a plot at the northeast cor
ner of West and Jane streets, on which
to erect a new building. 1t is planned,
says the N. Y. Observer, to erect a sea-
mems institute on modern lines, to
cost 1925, 900, exclusive of the site, for
which $4,000 was paid. The new To-
cation, opposite the Cunard Lines pier.
between the present transatlantic piers
and the new Chelsea piers. is central
enough for the largest gathering of
shipping in the city. There will be
the center of the society's work, which
includes "a auxiliaries all owe the
world. The trustees desire to begin
building operations only after funds
are assured, and they have issued a
general appeal for contributions from
the public. The treasurer of the fund
is Clarence C. Pinneo, No. rs Wall

bibles for New York Hotel.

The proprietor of a newly furnished
New York city hotel has given an order
to a publishing house for 200 Bibles. Il
have been hearing a lot lately" he
said, "about hotel guests going wrong
because there were no Bibles in their
rooms. Several years ago 1t was the
practice OF many hotels to include q
Bible in the list Of necessary furniture.
Gradually the people who were back Of
the enterprise lost interest and the
books disappeared. It now seems that
many persons, particularly commercial
travellers, complain of missing them.
frequently they read a chapter before
going to bed just to drive away the
blues, but now they never get a chance
to look inside q Bible. That being the
case, II shall not be said that any mar
stopping at my house Is driven to per-
dition for the want Of q Bible"

THE STORY.

News of a most alarming nature
had thrown the peaceful, quiet camp
into a condition bordering on panic.
For weeks now the Hebrew people had
been encamped at -Rephidim, weeks of
physical refreshing and spiritual
growth. After the long journey across
the barren wastes of the wilderness,
they had needed rest and God had
given it them.
And during those weeks of bodily
comfort and ease, as they gathered the
mama daily and sought the great
rock from whose riven side there
flowed the refreshing waters. they
thought of God, Of his wonderful de-
~liverances, of his unfailing care. Dur
ing those days which dealt so kindly
and generously with them, the con-
seriousness grew upon them that the
God of Moses was their God, indeed,
and that they were his people. They
recalled how he had delivered them
from Egypt with a mighty and out
stretched ARM; how he had fought for
them at the Red sea and had swal-
lowed up utterly Pharaoh and his
army.
How good it was to have such a
God; how easy was the way with
their God to fight for them. And
now with their old enemy destroyed
and the dangers of the journey behind
them what more was there to fear?
Such. was the spirit of confidence
and self-ease which pervaded the camp
of the Hebrews on that morning when
the note of alarm vas sounded, and
the cry raised that a hostile foe was
lurking on the outskirts of the camp,
waiting favorable moment to strike a
crushing blow and spoil them of their
goods.
Not one, but several, while gather
ing the manna out beyond the camp
that morning had caught fleeting
glimpses of the armed men. Not sus-
pecting their hostile purpose. they had
sought to come up with them and
hold friendly converse, but so fierce
had been the demonstration against
them that they had fed as for their
lives and had FASTENED into the camp
to spread the alarm.
"There can be no doubt that they
haye come out to fight against us"
exclaimed one.
"Yea. and they are men of fierce
yisage," broke in another, the fear
which was clutching at his heart be-
ing reflected in his blanched face and
wildly glazing eyes.
"And each man has sword and
SPEAR" added another.
It can we'll be imagined what wild
CONSERVATION these reports created
among a people so defenseless and un-
used to war.
The confusion and panic in the
camp soon reached the ears of Moses
and Aaron, and the elders Of the peo-
pie, and they fastened forth, and hav-
ing heard the reports they went apart
to consider what was best to be done.
what is there for us to do" ex-
claimed one. "but to flee? Better that
we should return to Egypt than to
perish by the hand of SO great a foe."
May" reasoned another, "let us
first seek by gifts to win the favpr
Of the enemy. It may be we shall
be able to turn them from their evil
purpose"
This suggestion seemed to win in
slant favor with the majority Of the
elders, but even while they were PLAN
ming to carry it into effect. declaring
openly that the Promised Land would

Exprc.. Has Narrow Escape.

NEWBURG, N. Y., Aug. 1S.-The Wolverine express for Chicago over the New York Central and Hudson River railroad had narrow escape from derailment and serious accident near Fishkill. The axle of a freight car standing on a siding broke and al- lowed a load of lumber to slide oil. Some of the blanks fell across the northbound passenger track. The en- zine of the express dashed into these at speed of fifty miles an hour, throwing the lumber high into the air. One of the flying timbers struck VII liam Van Wagenen, who was standing at a crossing, and injured him severe ly. The train was stopped, but pro- ceeded within a few minutes after an investigation had been made.

DENOUyCE THE REPUBLICAN PARTY
One Speaker at Harpers Ferry Meet ing Says Roosevelt and Taft Acqufesce In Negro Dis-
 franchisement.

HARPERS FERRY, W. Va, Aug. 1S.-The second annual meeting of the Niagara movement, an organization of negroes whose purpose is to promote equality of the races, continued it's sessions at Storr college, the feature of the proceedings being tribute to the memory of John Brown and, the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the battle of Osawatomie. Ad- dresses on John Brown were delivered by w. B. B. Dubois and Rev. Reverdy c. Ransom of Boston.
 Mir. Ransom declared that God sent John Brown to Hampers Ferry ito be- come traitor to the government in or der that he might be true to the slave" He discussed the political rights of the negro. "The present occupant of the White House." he said, "has been ab- so!utely silent on the question of the enforcement of the fifteenth amend ment, while his secretary of war has admitted the violation of the constitu- ticn he has recently in notable ad- dress openly condoned it If not tacitly indorsed it. Secretary Taft, speaking for the president, chides us by saying that the negroes are political children; that they have shown their incapacity to maintain their political rights.
 "It Is true that the negro had a child like faith in the Republican party, be- lieving that it would administer the sacred trust which the fortunes Of 1 war and the constitution had imposed upon 1t and that it would not use him i like a gamblers stake in the game of politics.
 Thank God at last the scales are falling from the negro's eyes. He is being disillusioned by the acts of a Republican congress, the speeches of members of a Republican cabinet and the silence of Republican president He should not hesitate to repudiate his former friends who have betrayed him nor refuse to fraternize with former enemies who are willing to give him aid. While he remains political issue he must insist upon making his power felt and his rights respected"
 Mrs. Henrietta R. Evans, a sister oi Lewis S. Leary, negro, who lost hii life while with John Brown in the at tack at Harpers Ferry, gave some rem iniscences of that event.

 MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Aug. 1S.- The Grand Army of the Republic com pleted It's fortieth encampment and ad- ijourned to meet in Saratoga, N. r., in 1907
 The encampment, after an exciting and acrimonious debate, decided that . protest against the erection of statue to Henry Wirz should be sent to Gen eral S. D. Lee. commander of the Unit ed Confederate Veterans.
 The proposal to deprecate the action of congress in abolishing the canteen from old soldiers homes was laid on the table without debate.
 Just prior to adjournment Command CT In Chief R. E. Brown elect announc- ed the following staff appointments:
 Adjutant general. Joseph w. O'Neall of Ohio; quartermaster general, Charles Burrows of New Jersey; assistant quartermaster general, J. H. Holcomb of Philadelphia, and chief of staff, J. V. Winanes of Ohio.
 The final vote on the next meeting place showed 403 for Saratoga and 115 for Cincinnati. A delegate from Wis consin attempted to bring up the can teen question, but was squelched sum- marily, the whole question being laid on the table at once.
 During the day Commander In Chief Tanner sent a telegram to President Roosevelt informing him that the en- campment was in session. To this the following reply was made by the presi- dent to Commander Tanner:
 "Many thanks for your telegram. Through you I extend to the Grand Army of the Republic my heartiest greetings, not merely personal, but of ficial, in behalf of all the people of this nation, whose existence is owing to what you and your comrades did in the heroic days of the civil war"

 CHELSEA, Mass. Aug. 1S.-Follow- ing the official information given by Bank Examiner Ewer to the comptrol- Ter of the currency at Washington that the failure of the First National bank of Chelsea, the doors of which were closed, was due to excessive loans made to officers and directors of the bank, 1t became understood that the principal factor in the suspension of the bank was large indebtedness on the part of its president, Sylvester B. Hinckley. This indebtedness is un- officially estimated at from $30O,OOO to $5O0,OOO, but statements made by di- rectors of the bank indicate that Presi- dent Hinckley had transferred to the institution his equity in large real es- tate holdings which, it was, expected, would provide for the payment in full of all depositors.
