ABOUT GALE
Sketches of Alaskan Dele
gate to Congress

Thomas Gale, elected to represent
the Territory of Alaska in the Goth
congress, is native OF Underhill, Yer
mont, where he was born September II
lS4S. He secured q thorough common
school education in the schools of his
native state. In 1869, upon reaching
his majority, following the advice of
Horace Greeley, he started west, locat-
ing at Fond du Lac, Wis, where he
spent the major portion Of his life time,
aud where he reared family.
Mr.. Gale was in business at Fond du
Lac much OF his early life. In 1883 he
was chosen by his fellow citizens to be
q member Of the board OF county super
visOrs. He was reelected in 1884 and
again in 1885. In 1856 he was nominal
ed by the republican party of his
county for sheriff and elected. After
serving two terms as county sheriff he
was chosen to be clerk Of the court Of
Fond du Lac county.
The panic OF 1898 claimed Mr.. Gale
as one of its thousands of victims, and
ne started farther west, seeking new or
portuuities. The Klondike STAN
pede carried him to Dawson after be !
had spent some time in the Dakotas |
and Montana. He passed through |
Skagway in 1898 and arrived at the
Hlondike metropolis in the fall Of that
year.
FOR five years Mr.. Gale courted the
golden goddess with varied success in
the Klondike, prospecting when he had
the money and working for wages when
broke.
The Tauana strike called Mr.. Gale
back to the domain of his native country
in 1908, since which time he has been
an Alaskan. There, as at Dawson, he
for gold and developed
claims he had located when he had
and worked for wages and cut
cord wood for q stake when he had not
sufficient money TO permit him to con-
.iuue prospecting. He finally located
which he believes will make
him fortune when he shall have dis
posed of the litigation which always
ollows the discovery OF pay in Alaska.
After protracted deadlock between
Ir. Collins and Mr.. Roman the convent
on OF the Tarans Miners Association
Mr.. Gale for delegate to con-
,ress on the 10th ballot last May. He
almost Immediately set out on cam
,aigu which covered the entire district
With exception of the precincts and
owns oLt at the Westward. He has
,eep succeetul by an overwhelming
majority.
In politics MIR. Gale is a democrat {
"A Bryan democrat, he says. He was
always a republican until 1886 when he
ollowed thousands Of others out Of his
,arty for the Nebraskan. Since then
lie has always claimed allegiance to the
democratic party, but he had nothing to
10 with politics.
Mr.. Gale would meet the require '
nents of President Roosevelt on the
question Of race suicide. He has
amily of seven childreu--four sons and |
hree daughters-who are living in
Wisconsin and prospecting. The sons
re N business there.
Mr.. Gale will take his seat in congress
I the first session after March /, 1907. ,
there shall be no extra session that
Gin be on the first Monday in December,

CHINESE POSTAGE.

number of friends have asked me to explain
why it is that two-cent stamp will bring letter
from China and fve-cent stamp is required to
carry letter to China. The post-masters in many
places give uncertain information, and friends in
China write, saying that letters reach them in
sufficiently paid My advice is always put
hve-cent stamp to every haf-ounce on letter to
any place in China, excert Shanghai" China is in
the postal union, and of course, the rates of the
union apply to all places in the empire
Why except Shanghai? Because the American
Government has post-ohice in the Consulate at
Shanghai, and few years ago it was ordered that
the rates OF domestic postage should apply TO
Shanghai, the Philippines, Hawaii and probably
some other places. SO if Shanghai is the destina-
ton, only two cents to an is needed on let
ter.
Why do letters coming from other cities in
China sometimes have only a two-cent stamp7
Because procure the United States stanns
from Shanghai, place them on letters addressed 70
the United States, then enclose these letters in
another envelope put the proper amount Of Chin
csc postage on this outer envelope address il to
a friend in Shanghai, who will post the letter in
the American Office. Letters sent in this wav
cost only about three cents, including the Chinese
postage to Shanghai
The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1906-06-20

II one should think that rule ought TO work
Doth ways, and persist in trying to make the
United States domestic rates of postage apply TO
other places in China than Shanghai the result
VIII be that the letter will be held at the office of
delivery for deficiency in postage three cents and
tax three cents, six cents which your correspond
ent Will have to pay if the letter weighs only
half ounce. If it the least bit over that weigbt
then the deficit is eight cents and the tax eight
cents-sixteen cents. AS the currency in China
IS silver, which is only fifty cents to the dollar
TINS sixteen cents, gold, becomes thirty-two cents
silver Now when one has to pay thirty-two cents
on precious letter from dear friend once it
can be laughed at joke, but when son made
his father do it three times successfully, it be-
came mOnotonous
In conclusion, put five cents for every half-ounce
or traction thereof on every letter sent to any
place in China except Shanghai

AN OLD SCHOOL REVIVED

Alter lapse OF some years, there has been
again commencement gaiety at the old Montgom-
cry College in Christansburg Never were com
mencement recitals prettier more entertaining
than these on the evenings of May 31st and June
Ist, though there have been many charming enter
tainments given in the chapel the music room and
the parors of the college during the half century
Of its existence.
The Oldest members of the PRESBYTERIAN
Church in Virginia may remember something OF
the beginnings of this institutions when. under
the energy and efforts Of Rev. Mr.. Chevalier, it
was built and dedicated to the service of God and
humanity for the higher education Of our girls.
Shortly after the close of the Civil War for
reasons which seemed good and sufficient, the
Presbyterians gave up the school and it became
one of the well-known and favorte schools for
southern girls, under the efficient control of Mrs
~ ,. Pollock, who was a devoted Methodist,
cultivated lady and successful teacher Failing

PRESBYTERIAN ORPHANS HOME.
VNCHPJTpC WA

The last dollar that came to the Home was
from DR.. Cook in Manila. AS it came through
Dr. Smith i'll Richmond, we infer that the Doctor
still reads his church paper, the Central Presby-
terrain, and takes practical interest in the work
of the church at home.
Our board met last week and took some steps
forward They refused to sell the FARM though
handsome profit could have been made bv the
sale. 1t was decided to locate the buildings in
the central front field. This is a gently rolling
field of sixteen acres directly in front of the
ent building. gently slopng ridge rises "a feet
in distance of two thousand feet joining a fiat
topped hill, which rises fifteen feet higher The
ridge runs almost to a point, hemmed between
the road and depression but broadens to six
hundred feet as it approaches the house. The
edges of the field drop down from three to eight
feet below the central ridge. The Executive Com
mlttee are wrestling with the problem of getting
the best plot for the buildings. We want a central
building tor chapel, Offices, etc, with space about
it. Locations for from six to ten cottages on
either side of it. Workshops and other mechani-
cal buildings will find room on flat ridge that
makes off to the north at the of the broad end
OF the field. The road in front runs west p
horth 1he present house is at the north cor
ner of the field, looking west.
we are interested in the case of Billy Farmer
who has been received into the Home on condi-
ton that the doctor cure him Of white swell
ing. He had two sound brothers who found
homes with farmers, but Billy is a cripple and
likely to be one all his life. He went to the hos
pital and our Dr. removed the diseased bone and
hopes that Billy can come to us before long
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Ruff are with us again after
spending the winter in Florida This is a great
blessing to the Home. Miss Sue E. Pierson and
Miss Lizzie Hagerman assisting Mrs Ruff

THE PREsBYTERIAL UNION AT NOISY

The central Presbyterian. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1856-1908, 1906-06-20

The day, June 9th, began with sweet and quiet
Prayer-Circle, at which Gods blessing was asked
upon the meeting; and then the cordial pastor OF
Messy Creek opened the regular meeting with de
votonal exercises, and with welcome so hearty
that it was good to be there
The roll-call revealed the gratifying fact that
there were 70 delegates in attendance-twice as
many as were present last year; several societies
came into membership with he union at this meet
ing, and the Presidents add. ess struck distinct
note of encouragement
he reports from all the enrolled societies fol-
lowed and ones heart swelled to hear of so many
Christian women, young and old, heartily engaged
IN turthering the greatest work in the world
The heart of the days meeting consisted of three
missionary addresses, each-so it seemed to the
intent listeners-the best of its kind Miss Mat
toon, of the Mary Baldwin Seminary child of
missionary parents, born on missionary ground,
turned from this foreign claim her interests to
speak to us of the pressing needs and varying
forms of home service; the keynote of her strong
address that christianity was not l. but
we, and she bade us face every situation with the
three questions: "Is there need? Can woman
supply the need? Am 1 that woman?"
Mrs. Edgar Woods, of Charlottesville also
heathen-born, as one playfuly said, and having
spent ten years in direct mission work in her ma,
tive land, threaded upon a tender moving plea
for China, five touching stories of what it was to
be baby girl in China what it was TO be little
maid, young woman, married woman, an old
woman; and then made us feel as none of us had
ever felt before, what blessed privilege it was to
carry the light of the Gospel to those darkened
lives.
Alter dinner recess spent in discussing under
the oaks, noble repast, the Rev Mercer Blain
OF China, addressed open meeting, to which the
poor denied men admitted. The audience
listened with profound interest this clear forci-
BILE exposition of the present opportunity in China
and in spite of the long, full day of exercises not
a single restless head moved in the crowd For
the church was full all day from pulpit to doors
After the second days prayer-circle the Union
finished up its business, and then Young Peo-
pies Meeting conducted by Miss Blanche
McCrum, of Lexington. The front benches were
overlooking with Messy Creeks boys and girls
who gazed and listened with wondering delight as
the little Japanese maid, in kimona and obe told
of her life in faraway Nippon, and presented them
with chrysanthemum souvenirs with a secret word
in the heart of each flower
Mrs Elizabeth P. Allans talk on "The BOYS of
Our Church" was followed by "Curo Talk from
Mrs. Woods, and the meeting closed with stir
ring address from Mr.. Boyle of the Forward
Movement.
When the meeting over, and the good-bys
said, each woman carried away in her heart
precious store of new purposes, higher hopes and
some definite plans for furthering the great work
OF Missions which had brought them together
