QUENCH BIG SOAP TRUST.
People and Newspapers Crush $500,
100000 Concern.

LONDON, Nov. 3O.-A spontaneous
combination of newspapers, tradesmen
and consumers mas killed the British
soap trust, which was launched on
Oct. 5, with a capital of $50, 10000 0
Ever since the launching, ~unrelenting
war has been waged against the soap
makers in the combine.
A section of the London and prov
incial press gave it's most prominent
columns to pillorying the methods of
the manufacturers and urged a boy
colt. They drew lessons firm Ameri-
can trusts and gratuitously advertised
makers outside of the trust.
Retailers filled their shop windows
with advertisements of non-trust
soaps and antitrust cartoons.
The sales of trust soaps, although
they included some of the best and
most popular brands, dropped alarm
ingly, especially when a leading firm
announced it's intention to give only
fifteen ounces for the sum that before
purchased a pound.
The result of the brief but sharp
fight has been the compulsory surren-
der Of the makers, who met at Liver
pool yesterday and decided to dissolve
their combination. They issued the
following announcement:
"The working arrangement entered
into between leading manufacturers Of
the United Kingdom having been re-
ceived with such d~isfavor by trade and
public as to make it unavoidable, it
has been decided to terminate the arr
rangement from Nov. 90"
1t adds that each firm henceforth
will conduct it's own business entirely
separately.

before coming to town this morning
to clear himself of any selfish feeling.
He said that if it was for the welfare

he would dispose of his holdings and

Football Player Among the Utes.
J.. Callahan Of Arvada, Wyo., while
en- route recently to see the Dart
mouth-Princeton football game, said,
according to a st. Paul (Minn.) dis
patch, that one Of the Utes now on the
war path is Billie Birdseye, who once
played on the Dartmouth football
team. A few days ago the Utes en-
camped near Callahan's ranch, and a
dozen Of them held up the rancher
when he went out to see them. 1t was
then that he recognized his old college
chum. Birdseye is a son Of Chief Kan
napap and is second In command.
After enjoining a promise Of neutral
ity on Callahan, Birdseye produced
from his buckskin garments two tick
cts for the Dartmouth Princeton game
and told Callahan to root for him if he
attended.

The speaker then spoke of the AL
geciras incident referring to it as
something impossible even so years
ago., "but in the year 1906 It ended
in peace and good will and to the
glory Of the people Of America in be-
ing first represented in a conference
pertaining solely to European affairs"
He spoke OF the growing influence
OF the great republic as a pacificator
from Panama to Cape Horn and said
it promised that the record Of the next
20 years would be a far different one
from that of the past 20 years.
The organization Of labor and it's
increasing privileges were also causes
for national self congratulations, &C
cording to the speaker who said:
Perhaps the spirit of the brotherhood
has not yet completely filled all bod
les of laboring men but there is the
dawning of a better day.
Christ Is Leader.
But not only between nations and
between classes but between church,
es harmony was growing. President
Penrose said that the different de-
nominations were beginning to see
that they all belong to the same army

"How often has the kingdom Of God
been retarded because the forces OF
Christ seemed to be o~bstructing each
other. I know of nothing more hope
full than the uniting of two great de-
nominations, the Cumberland Presby-
terians and the Presbyterians, during
the past year."
Other churches were mentioned such
as the North Methodists and the
South Methodists which were getting
closer together and which the speaker
hoped will not know territorial dis
tinction much longer.
This spirit of mutual appreciation
was even becoming international. To
illustrate this the speaker cited the
agreement between the German ana
American missionaries in Turkey.

Leslie was a pleasant talker, and he al
