A Suggested Improvement.

Senator Beverage was making
an impassioned speech. In the
midst of one of his most fowery
periods the venerable Senator Pet
tus of Alabama arose.
Does the Senator from Indiana
yield to the Senator from Ala
bama?" asked the presiding officer.
Certainly, said Senator Beve-
ridge. am always glad to yield
to the Senator from Alabama, who
never interrupts without shedding
knowledge on the subject which is
under discussion, and who always
adorns every speech into which he
may come with his rare and grace
full humor. What does the Senator
from Alabama desire to ask ne?"
Nothing, said Senator Pettus
solemnly. I move that we ad-

A clergyman from Bangor, Me,
joined a fishing party for two
weeks in a woods camp. Sunday
morning some Of the boys wanted
tb go fishing and got away without
being seen by the minister; but one
fellow, slower than the rest, was
caught by the minister just as he
was setting up his rod. The fish
erman made excuse and added:
I suppose you would not care to
go?" In answer the minister told
the following story: When I was
settled IN the church at Dixmont,
in the first years of my ministry. I
was called out of bed one night to
marry a couple who had both been
oereft of their first partners by

THR time has passed when the
lazy man can sit in the shade and
enjoy the benefits of the labors of
his more industrious brother.
Even in the Brownsville country,
where a living can be made more
easily than anywhere else, there is
no room for the lazy man. He
must stand aside.

Worry a Disease.

Every one knows innumerable
reasons why it is FOOLS to worry
the chief one being perhaps that il
is so utterly useless. but science
has added a new reason which IS
worth considering. 1t not only
states that worry will kill, but ex-
plains why it will kill. Worry is a
disease of the brain, a disease
which destroys certain cells of the
brain, often beyond repair. Like
an enemy in the night, worry
creeps upon the brain and begins
its sledgehammer process of de-
struction. The vitality of the del
icate organism is slowly destroyed.
Nature may repair the destruction
if worry comes at intervals, but
worry is habit and its power
grows each time that it is allowed
admittance.-The Housekeeper.

Senator Hemenway tells of an
incident that occurred during a
political campaign in Iowa. In
one of the towns it had been ar
ranged that, when the big orators
of the day had had their say with
reference to politics, there were to
be a number of entertainments of
the sideshow variety to be held on
the common. A pompous poll
tician, who had served a term in
the state legislature, while en-
deavoringto make his way through
a dense crowd that surrounded one
of the shows, found himself unable
to proceed further because of a
burly individual whom he could
not thrust aside. Drawing him
self up to his full height the poll
tician tapped the offending one on
the shoulder, saying as he did so:
Here make way there?" who
are you that you should push me
around that way?" demanded the
native. A representative of the
people, sir" exclaimed the poll
tician Indignantly. The man
grinned. Pooh, that amt moth
in 2" said he. We folks here
air the people themselves! kan

TWO QUAKES DAILY.
No Work at San Francisco and Never Win
Be. Writes Houston Boy.

F. D. Bond OF 1909 Milan street
IS in receipt of letter from his son,
H. G. A. Bond, of San Francisco,
which describes a more doleful
state of affairs than is given in
press dispatches. His letter con-
cludes by saying that there are
quakes daily, and the people are
shaking continually with fear. He
wants to get away from it forever,
for there is little satisfaction in liv-
ing in the conatant expectation of
being swallowed up or crushed by
buildings.
The major portion of the letter
is as follows, it being dated May s:
Don't believe what you read in
the papers. There is not any work
here at all, and I don't think there
will be. We are having at the rate
of two quakes a day here since the
large one. and there are II miles
of burned ruins.
The people are leaving here by
the hundreds. All the surrounding
towns are focked with people
that is. the ones close to here. I
can't explain to you in letter
what horrible thing it was to go
through.
They nabbed me and made me
do patrol duty for three days and
nights without a wink of sleep. I
am going to the railroad officials
and see if they can't give me a
pass, for 1 can't stay here and |
5tarve. There is a regular food and |
water famine here. The people
can't realize what a terrible thing
t is.-Houston Chronicle.

The production of beer in the United States

rels in 1870 to probably more than fifty millions
In the present year. 1t has grown nearly four
times as fast as the population.
The board of trustees, in report which
viciously attacked the Anti-SaIoon League, said:
AS Bishop Potter stated so eloquently, the
whole prohibitory movement in all its phases is
tainted with falsehood, dishonored by essential
unreality and discredted by widespread and
consistent failure
The statistical report said. regarding the beer
production:
The number of barrels manufactured in 1905
was 9,459, $40, an increase of 251 40T over

DEATH BLAMED TO B. r. T.
Coroners Jury Finds Company
Negligent in Three Cases.

Following in the footsteps of the May grand
jury in attacking the Brooklyn Rapid Transit
Company and its employees. the coroners jury
last night found that three accidents in the last
few weeks were due to the negligence of the
corporation and its men
The first was the case of Susie Brown. six
years old, Of No. Ga North Oxford street who
was killed last Thursday by a crosstown car on
Park avenue. The jury found that the child's
death was the result OF the unnecessary rapidity
with which the trolleys approach crossings
The next case was that of Morris Samuels who
was killed in a collision the Sea Beach line
near Coney Island about & month ago. The
Jury found that the collision which resulted in
his death could have been prevented if the
company had provided proper flag arrangements
The jury also found that the body OF Jacob
Cushnaan, who was killed at Fifth avenue and
s4th street. on June 2 had been run by
"a car or cars" The company contended that
only one had passed over the mans body
Cushnnan was superintendent Of Greenwood

chants Favor Elevated Bridge Connection.

movement is on foot among some persons
interested in real estate and other enterprises
along William street to oppose the proposed tun-

declare it would endanger the tall buildings in
that street

14th street to University Place. down Untver-
sity Place and Wooster street across on Canal
street TO Centre street. down Centre street to
City Hall Square, and then TO the East River
tunnels by William street. branching at Maiden
Lane and Old Slip. The proposed elevated loop
would run from the Williamsburg Bridge east
along Delaney street to Essex street, down Es-
Sex street to Grand street. across on Grand
street to Centre street, and down Centre street
TO the Brooklyn Bridge terminal at City Hall
Square This latter project is favored by the
William street merchants and others.
Chauncey S. Truax. representing owners of
downtown real estate, said:

buildings that border it. The land upon which
they stand is In most places clay or sand, very
uncertain strata through which TO tunnel, leav-
ing the narrow street between the tall build

Mr.. Mclaughlin. of the firm of Sterne & Nc
Laughlin, lawyer, interested in property through
which the loop would run. criticised the plan and
advocated the elevated bridge connection.
Albert B. Boardman, counsel for the Rapid
Transit Commission said:
The tunnel loop is in serious likelihood of
not being put through. The property own
ers and those most interested In the property
bordering the proposed tunnel route are so
strongly in favor OF the elevated loop connect
ing the bridges and are so active in their oppo-
sition to the subway that very good reasons and
efforts will have to be put forward for the tun-

THE REF0RME ED CHURCH
Centennial Meeting of the General
Synod COnUenes.

What is called the centennial meeting of the
General Synod of the Reformed Church in
America was begun yesterday at the Collegiate
Church of st. Nicholas, at Fifth avenue and
4Sth street. The retiring president, the Rev. DIR.
]. NJ. Farrar. of the First Reformed Church
Brooklyn, presided. The rollcalI showed the
presence Of about hundred and sixty delegates
but that number will be considerably increased
within day two There are thirty-ffve
classes in the denomination-the local govern
ing body is called classis-and it extends as
far west as the Pacific Coast and as far south
as South Carolina Outside of the country
around New Yorz-or New Amsterdam-it is
strongest in the states from Michigan To the Da-
Dutch immigrants
The tenacity with which the denomination
clings to ancient traditions. although it has
dropped the name OF Dutch Reformed Church"
was shown in the election Of president and vice
president of the General Synod. Although there
was not the slightest sign of any friction or
politics.. it took nearly two hours to elect these
two officers. Two ballots were taken in each in
stance, but the first was merely for nominations
unless by chance some should receive a two
thirds VOTE in which case it would have been an
election At the close of the second ballot which
was counted publicly. every one of the names
then voted on was read out, as a nominee and
new ballot was then taken. In each instance
a majority vote was secured on the second
ballot.
The Rev. Donald Sage Mackay, the pastor of
the Church of st. Nicholas. was elected presi-
dent, and the Rev. Samuel W. Zwerner of the
Reformed Church Mission to Arabia, was chosen
vfce-president. DR.. Zwemer is famous mis-
sionary and F. r. G. S.
The other officers were selected with less cere-
mony. The stated clerk. the Rev DR.. William
H. De Hart of Raritan, N J., and the permanent
clerk. the Rev. DR.. William H. Ten Eyck. of
New York, were continued in those posts. which
they have held for many years
The Rev. DR.. E. B. Coe. senior minister of
the Collegiate Church read the programme as
prepared by the committee of arrangements,
which approved. The anniversary meeting
is to be held this evening.
The General Synod actually organized in
1894 but for some time it met only in three
years, and this IS the hundredth meeting. 1t
had been hoped to have President Roosevelt
present on this occasion, but the pressure Of
public business will prevent his being here 1t
is expected that letter from him Will be read
Mr. Roosevelt is communicate at the Church
of St Nicholas, which is one Of the churches
making up the Collegiate Church. The Col
legiate Church Is the direct successor OF the rst
Christian Church on Manhattan Island
The preliminary part Of the General SYNOD
was conducted last night, with sermon by the
retiring president, DR.. Farrar, and the COM
nnunion service. The meeting Will probably last
q week.
