New. York, May 5.-Considerable
losses in the earthquake and fire in San
francisco were sustained by the Pres
byterian Board of Foreign Missions,
which has headquarters here. The board
had IN the stricken city three large
men and boys in charge of Rev. j. Il.
taughlin at Oil Stockton street, one for
Japanese men and boys in charge of
DR.. E. A. Surge at 1913 Haight street,

A telegram from Mr.. Laughin an

the board received a. letter from DR..
D. A. Surge, stating that the fire was

esThe Rescue Home was full of Chinese
girls, who had been saved by Miss Cam
eron from life Of slavery, and who
were, being alphabetically taught and
cared for: These girls and Miss Cam
eron and her associates are now in great
need. Mr.. and Mrs Laughlin also lost
everything. Not only was the Chinese
church IN Stockton street completely
destroyed, but all in the large congrega-
ton Of Chinese Christians are destitute.
The Chinese pastor, the Rev. Nam Art.
| writes: "All the stores, churches and
schools were turned into one large fur
mace. Both Americans and Chinese left
their dwellings and fled to the edges of
the city, to Oakland and to Berkeley.
All our earthly possessions are gone, but
God has protected us, and His grace,
mercy and peace abide with us. -
Doubtless the most pressing daily
needs of these workers and their wards
are being cared for by the relief agen-
cies now In operati ton, but the Presby-
terrain board is solicitous for the larger
and more permanent needs in the way

other agencies the care of it's own mis-

work, and Dwight III. Day, the treas,

contributions for the purpose thru the
board. These, 1t is promised, will be

exhaustion. Mrs. Roswell bent low over them
moment, then stole back to her room. Half
an hour later she was asleep.
-. Early next morning Mrs: Roswell telephoned to
The Thinking Machine, and they talked for fifteen
minutes. She was apparently explaining some
thing; the scientist gave crisp, monosyllabc
answers. When the wire disconnected, he
called up two other persons on the telephone. One
of them was DR.. Henderson, a noted alienist; the
other was DR.. Forester, nerve specialist of inter
national repute. To both he said Il want to
show you the most extraordinary thing you have

The dim light of the night lamp cast strange,
unex pected shadows, half revealing yet half hiding
the various objects in Mrs Roswell's room The
bed made great white splotch in the Shadows and
the one other conspicuous point the bright
silver dial of the jewel vault. From the utter dark
ness of Jeanette Roswells room came the steady,
regular breathing of person asleep; the cockatoo
gone from it's perch. Outside TIE faint
night throb of a city at rest. In the distance
clock doomed four times.
Finally the stiffness was broken by faint creak-
ing, the tread of light foot, and Jeanette robed
mystically in white, appeared in the door of her
room. Her eyes wide open, staring, her face
was chalk-like, her hair tumbed in confusion about
her shoulders, and here and there fecked with
the CLINT of the night light
The girl paused, and from somewhere in the shad-
ows came quick gasp, instantly stifled. Then,
unhearng, she moved slowly but without hesitation

DO you read much?" he asked. Did you
ever read this?" and he held up the copy of g Les

The conversation was desultory for a time, and
finally The Thinking Machine rose In the drawing
room down stairs he gave Mrs. Roswell some in
structions which amazed her exceedingly, and
went his way.
Jeanette retired about eleven o'clock that night,
and in an hour was sleeping soundly; but Mrs.
Roswell up when the clock struck one. She
had previously bolted the doors of the two rooms
and fastened the windows. Now she rose from her
seat picked up small jar from her table, and crept
cautiously, stealthily, to the bed whereon
Jeanette lay, pale almost as the sheets. The girls

sank down the bed beside the still figure of the

Then where the jewe1s?" Mrs. Roswell de-

The Thinking Machine turned and squinted at
her with slight suggestion of irritable reproach in
his manner.
"Safe and easily found" he replied impatiently.
He lifted the unconscious girls hand and allowed
his fingers to rest on her pulse for moment, then
turned to the medical Would you have

With quick moving, nervous hands she

else, seeking vainly, apparently, for after
awhile she rose with sigh, staring into the

heart beats; then came the low, guarded voice
of the second hgure-low, yet singularly clear

There was pause, and she turned as if to
reenter her room. AS she did so the light
again flashed in her CLASSY eyes, and the second
figure laid OBTAINING hand on her arm. She

DEATH CLAIMS
PILLSBURY, THE
CHESS EXPERT

PHILADELPHIA, June 17-Harry
Nelson Pillsbury, the chess master, died
here today Of apoplexy, after an illness
OF many months. Pillsbury was born
on December ;, 1872, at SomervilIe,
Mass. where the body Will be taken, the
funeral 70 be held there next Tuesday
Pillsbury learned the rudiments of
chess when he was 16 years old at the
Des Chappelles. Chess Club in Boston.
His first notable victory was score of
to in a match with John n. Barry
Of Boston in 1891. In 1893 he won the
New York City tournament on a total
score Of seven out of a possible nine,
and in 1885 won first prize at the
Hastings tournament against many Of
the strongest players of the world. This
victory logically made him one of the
quartet of the most famous players
named TO compete at st. Petersburg
De Lasker, Steinitz, Tschigorin and
Pillsbury. His score with the world s
champion. Lasker, was 1-2 to 1-2. In
1897 Pillsbury won from Showalter the
American chess championship, which
he confirmed by a second match with
Showalter in 1898.
In all, Pillsbury played in fourteen
international chess tournaments and
was a prize winner in all except at
Cambridge Springs, Pa, in 1904, when
he was i'll. Pillsbury showed his chess
genius not alone by match and tourna-
ment play. At blindfold chess, it is
said. his record has never been equaled.
At Moscow he played twenty-five games
without sight of the board. and at Phil
adelphia twenty games, which he re-
peated at Vienna.

KING EDWARD DESIRES
OBSERVANCE OF SUNDAY
Wishes to Have the Day Set Apart En-
tirely as One of Rest In
Great Britain.

LONDON, June 17-''The King has
authorized me to tell you of his SYM
pathy and interest in the effort being
made for a national observance of Sun
day, and his earnest desire for it's sue
cess"
This message was delivered by the
Archbishop of Canterbury yesterday
afternoon to crowded conference held
at Caxton Hall for the purpose of fur-
thering the movement for securing the
national observance of Sunday.
The Prince of Wales also wrote to the
Archbishop to the like effect, and so did
the Prime Minister, Lord Roberts, and
others.
All classes and creeds were repre-
sented at the meeting, and, as the Pri-
mate remarked. they touched every in
terest. every strand-re1igious, social
parliamentary, mercantile which is
woven in the making of the best sort
of English life"
Il doubt" the Primate continued
whether | or any of my predecessors
! for a thousand years -have ever taken
part in a public meeting more remark
able in it's component elements than
this.
1T is certain that the care for the
English Sunday is less than it used to
be- Our object is not to blame any-
body. Still less is it in our minds to
lay down precise rules governing indi-
,vidual lives in regard to this great sub
I ject
Somehow or other, by no evil intent
on anybodys part, it has come about
that under conditions Of contemporar
life in England 1t is much more difficult
than 1T used to be to safeguard SUNDAY
as day of rest for worship and for
recreation-in the true sense of that
rather misused word. 1t is to warn
people against that peril and to safe
guard the possession which we, own
that we are met today
We believe In the use of the Lords
| day for worship as truly as for rest
and l should be false to every principle
which 1 hold dear if 1 Were not to
strike that note.
But we look on it also from it's So
ciai side. We want to protect the
workers from burden thoughtlessly
and sometimes selfishly, laid on them
! by the prosperous and the well to do
who fail to realize the unspeakable
harm they are doing.
In another department of danger
we want to safeguard one another from
the perils which have their source in
the breathless competition and rivalry
| about money getting, which very defin-
itely marks our time. The peril. I am
absolutely persuaded, is real, grave and
urgent"
The Bishop of London said that sun
day traders themselves even the poor
publicans-desire Sunday as a day OF
rest.
He moved resolution welcoming q
proposal by the advisory committee for
simultaneous endeavor to coordinate
and set in motion the religious and So
cial forces of the country, with the OBJ
ject of recalling to the nation the spe-
cial value and privilege of Sunday as q
unique and permanent safeguard of re-
ligion and of social and domestic pros
perity."
Lord Avebury seconded and the mo-
| ton was agreed to.

Woman Poses as Venus.

LONDON, June LIT is no new
thing TO see women Of exceptional
physical charms poising, in more or
less classical style. for the delectation
Of music-hau audiences.
The newest is La Milo" who has
adopted that title probably because
she comes from Australia. and whose
present mission is to convince the pa
irons of the London pavilion that the
modern woman need not fear cOmpari-
son with the sculptural models OF the
ancients.
La Milo" is built on a larger scale
than the classical models. bat her pro-
portions are so excellent that that
helps rather than hinders the truth Of
the statues she seeks TO represent.
when seen from the other side of the
fOotlights.
Following the famous precedent of
the conscientious actor who blacked
himself all over when he played
Othello. La Milo" apparently white
washes herself as a preliminary to re-
producing marble masterpieces. She
has three Venuses in her repertoire
