GREAT COMET DUE IN 1910.

Rev. J. B. Shoup, of Bittinger, Md,

Pastor Shoup is a veteran of the Civil

at Markleton, in 1881, was in need of
funds to save it from going under the

a whole winter to raise the needed cash.

of the church census for the U. S.
Government in 1900, has compiled
table which was published Jan. 5, 1905,
from which we take the following, the
figures being DR.. CAROLS: Baptists,
- bodies, 35,713 ministers, 52,OO1
churches, 5,150,815 communicates.
Methodist II bodies, So, 977 ministers:
$500 churches, 6,256, 1873 communi-
cants. These statistics are for the U.
S. alone, and please remember that it
is only 1873 years next July since the
first Methodist conference was held.
At this Conference there were not over
ten preachers present, not one of whom
was authorized to administer the sacra-
ments. AS stated it was not until De-
cember, 1874, that the Methodist Epis-
copal church was organized as distinct
denomination.
Mr.. Faust is quoted as saying that
the Baptist church has ''grown as no
other Protestant denomination has
grown in the history of the world. "
What does DR.. Carroll, one of the best
authorities we can get on such matters
say on this point? He says the Metho-
dist Episcopal church ranks No. among
Protestant denominations. Regular
Baptist (Colored) No. 2; Regular Bap-
fist church (South) No. 8; Methodist
Episcopal South No. 4 Disciples of
Christ No. 5; Regular Baptist North
9th. 1t will be seen from the statistics
taken from DR.. Carroll that the Metho-
dist Episcopal church is the leading
Protestant church in the U. S. and yet
it has been only 121 years since it was
organized 1t would seem that as far
as our country is concerned that the
Methodist church is second to no Protes-
tant denomination in the number of its
communicates, and it is beyond dispute
that it has grown far more rapidly than
any other Protestant denomination.
This is not written in the spirit of
controversy, and while we are glad that
the great Baptist church is mighty
power for good and we can wish it God
speed yet we do not as a member Of the
Methodist Episcopal church care to sur
render our position as the largest
(Protestant) if not the oldest denOmina-
ton. Very truly,

Horse and Rider Fall 800 Feet.

A most remarkable escape from Sc
riOus injury or death was the experience
of Charles Tressler, a farmer of near
Confluence, on Saturday night. Tress-
Ter had been in Confluence during the
day and did not start home until after
dark. He was riding a horse valued at
5000 and took what is known as the
Klondike road, which skirts the Cassel-
man river in some places at the height
of 300 feet. At the highest point Tres
sler's horse stumbled over close to the
edge of the road, which is unprotected
from the steep brink that drops away
orom it almost perpendicularly
Both horse and rider slid, tumbled
and rolled down the entire distance
to the edge Of the river. The horse
was killed. Tressler was not badly in
jured, though he was unconscious when
he reached the bottom of the hill. He
soon came to, however, and is none the
worse for his thrilling experience. Tres
sler is tenant on the farm of J. C.

TO IMPROVE THE NATIONAL PIKE
A Congressional Measure Looking to
the Improvement of the Old
Highway

Mr.. Pearre Of Maryland, has introduce
ed in the House of Representative a
bill ''to authorize the restoration of the
Cumberland road by the Government of
the United States and providing for its
reconstruction and maintenance.
The measure was introduced on the
hundredth anniversary of the approval
by President Jefferson of the first act
looking to the construction by the Gov
eminent of this great internal improve
ment from Cumberland through the
states of Maryland, West Virginia,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, and
surveyed through Illinois to St. Louis.
The bill provides for the appointment
OF commission of three or more citi-
zens by the President to examine into
the present condition of the Cumber
land road in Maryland, West Virginia.
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, and report to
the President stating the probable cost
OF putting the road in frst-class condi-
ton as macadam highway. 1t appro-
PIRATES $50, 200 to meet the expenses of
this inquiry and report.
The bill provides that upon applica
ton by the proper authorities the Unit
ed States Government shall loan to the
states mentioned, or anyone of them,
for rebuilding or reconstructing this
highway, sum not exceeding $40, 900 a
mile, with out interest, in payment for
the actual work done, provided such
highway is repaired and reconstructed
under the supervision of the United
States commission and according to
specifications furnished by it. 1t pro-
Vldes further that one-twenty-f part
OF the money received from the Govern
ment and expended upon such road be
each year returned to the United States
Treasurer by each State until the whole
amount shall have been returned.
The authorization of the Cumberland
road was the elimination of bitter
hight between the two great political
parties of that day upon the question of

that Mr.. Faust would Intentionally say
anything to make a wrong impression,
not even in favor of the great Baptist
church of which he is an official member,
yet as we look at the matter, if Brother
Faust is correctly quoted, a wrong i'm

reader. He is quoted as saying eve

nomination has grown in the history of

1t is also stated that "about 250 years

Faust that the founder of Methodism
was not born until 1908, about
fifty years after the great Baptist
church began to grow. The
first Conference of the Methodist
church in this country was not held I'M
til July IA, 1913, 1873 years ago next
July, while the first Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church was not
held until December, 1884, for it was on
December "a, 1884, that the Methodist
Episcopal church. was organized as
distinct Denomination. 1t will thus be
seen according to Brother Faust that
the Baptist church began to grow
about $50 years ago." therefore the
Methodist Episcopal church has not
been organized one half as long as it
has been since the Baptist church "be

TWO CENT RATE DOES NOT PAY
Claimed That Margin is Too Small
For the Railroads to Make Money.

The railroads are still claiming and
no doubt will continue to do so. that the
tWo-cent mile rate which has been es-
tablished by some of the states and
which congress has had before it for
some time during the present session,
is not enough to allow them to make
any money and the prediction is freely
made that this cheapening of the rates
is going to cheaper the service on all
the roads and in this way the public
will suffer to great extent. 1t has
been held time and again by the experts
in the railroad business that passenger
traffic on railroads in the United States
is practically carried on at the expense
of the freight traffic; that there are
very few roads that make any money to
speak Of out of the passenger business,
although they cater to it specially.
A few statistics regarding the cost
of running a railroad especially the
passenger service, will be of interest
at this time, These figures have beer
compiled by well known local railroad
man from statistics to which he has
access in the Office of the larger lines
entering Wheeling. In speaking of
the two-cent rate this gentleman de-
clares that the average earnings of
two cents mile leave too little margin
to cover taxes, fixed charges, renewals,
ETC., to say nothing of dividends. If
the railroads have Jared thus in earn
ings, only 2.058 cents when the rate has
been cents mile, it would be impos-
slble to meet expenses at 2 cents. The
statistics show that passenger locomo-
tives cost l04 per cent more than in
1893, coaches cost Sc per cent more.
mail cars 90 per cent, baggage cars 90
per cent. Engineers wages 1876 ser
cent, freman's 17.2 per cent, conduc-
tors Is and trainmen q per cent. Pas
senger earnings total only q per cent
on an average of the entire gross earn
ings. Vast improvements solely for
the passenger service have to be made
in roadways, but these will probably be
cut out to great extent if the two
cent rate is adopted all over the coun-
try.
