HOW TO FILL THE CHURCHES.
If Musical Glasses Do the Business,
Have Them, by All Means.

If Musical Glasses Do the Business,
Have Them, by All Means.
From Leslie's Weekly.
The preacher is to be commended
who seeks to Increase the popular in
terest il the Sunday evening serv-
ices of his church. The great MAORI
ty of those who attend church on
Sunday morning are already relig-
ious. The evening services should pro-
vide attractions that will win thS
masses from the streets and from
the haunts of temptation. For this
reason we approve the musical fea-
lures which the Rev. DR.. Goodcnild,
of the Central Baptist church in New
York City, has introduced in his
Sunday night services. If the selec-
tions rendered are appropriate, a vio-
lin may be a most valuable help to
religious aspiration and emotion. The
harp is seldom heard il church these
days, but no one who knows its his
tory or capabilities would consider
it out of place in the sanctuary If
musical glasses will bring into church
a throng that would otherwise be
drifting on the streets or suffering
nomesickless in dreary hall bed
rooms, their use is abundantly justi-
fed. Hymn tunes can be sweetly and
effectively played on them.
In earlier days there were some of
the "unco guid' who objected to
church organs, now quite generally
regarded as pre-emi1ently fitted for
the musical expression of sublime
and tender religious emotions A
great organ is a combination of in
struments SO built together that
single player can use them individu-
ally or collectively. If an orchestra,
in which there are as many players
as instruments, comes nearer to the
popular heart, there can be no valid
religious objection to it's appropriate
use. We have heard orchestras in sol
emn and stately services in ST. Paul's
Cathedral, London, and ST. Marks,
Venice. A pastor and church that
are thoroughly in earnest to do good
can put a great variety of musical at
fractions to the best possible use.
That experiments of this kind are
warranted is proven by the fact that
in many churches they have good re-
suits.

New York, Dec. 2S.-George w
Perkins, formerly vice president of
the New York Life Insurance Com
pany, and now a member of the firm
of J. P Morgan & Co., and Charles
S. FairchiId, formerly secretary of
the treasury and trustee of the New
York Life, were indicted today by
the grand jury, charged with forgery
in tle third degree.
The Indictments were based on
what is known as the Prussian bond
transaction in which it is charged
tnat a false statement was made by
the New York Life in order to salts
fly the government of Prussia as to
securities held by the company
Perkins appeared and gave bond
in the sum of $4,000. Fairchild is
in Europe.
One of the transactions investigat-
ed by the grand jury in this connec-
ton is what was alleged TO be a
dummy sale of 10000 shares of Chi
cago and Northwestern preferred
stock and $500 shares of st. Paul
stock to the New York Security and
Trust Co. IS far as appeared on the
books of the New York Life this
transaction was a complete sale. The
New York Security and Trust Co.,
however. recorded it as a loan. Later
these shares were soIl by the Trust
Company at a profit to the Life In
surance Co. of 900. This alleged
false statement of sale mad for it's
object compliance with the rules of
the Prussian government that life
insurance company doing business
in that country shall not include cor
poratiol stocks il its assets but may
include bonds in such assets.

TO LFGALIZE PRACTICE
Commissioner Leupp, of the indian
Office, Will Ask Congress to Amend
Appropriation Bill So as to Affirm
the Practice.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 2S.-Com-
missionerL eupp, of the Indian
Office, will ask congress to legalize
the practice of the Department il per
mitting Indians and white children
to enter the same schools 1t is the
policy of the Indian Office to break
up Indian reservations wherever pos
sible, allot the lands owned by the
Indians and put the wards of the gov
ernment on a self-supporting basis.
To do this effectively old barriers are
being broken down and the Indians
in many sections of the country are
Indian Bureau paying into the coun-
ty or state treasury the cost per cap
ita of Indian education as assessed
against white children, which am
cunts to about 50 per quarter. In
many localities in the West or North
west Indian schools are the only
schools in widely separated areas.
1t has been Commissioner Leupps
policy to permit white children TO
enter with the same privileges of ed
ucation granted Indian children, on
the theory that there was 40 law
against such policy, and he is now
preparing an amendment to the Ind

The Roswell Automobile Company
has accomplished another interest
ing feat by constructing an auto
baggage wagon. 1t was made from the
engines of the old Winton car and
is now to be known as ''The Red
Dragon, or The Needmore Flyer"
1t will not only be used in carrying
provisions and materials to Need
more, the halfway station, but will
also be run, when necessity demands,
as a carrier of trunks and other bag
gage to Torrance at the rate of S.
per hundred pounds. The Dragon will
have a speed of 40 miles an hour
and it's machinery will enable it to
travel right along with the other cars
of the company. 1t will appear on the
streets in a few days or as soon as
its new paint dries. A baggage auto
has long been one of the needs of
the Roswell-Torrance auto line.

WORST IN 80 YEARS
Nine Persons Found Frozen to Death.
Same Conditions Apparently Exist
Throughout Europe.

London, Dec. 2S.-The crew of the
Japanese liner Awt Maeu which ran
on the rocks off Red Carr last night,
were taken off by life crew. A tele-
gram from Holyhead says that an
unknown vessel foundered off Rios
colyn Point, Wales. Nine persons
have been found frozen to death on
the roads in England alone during
the past "a hours. The continuing
snowfall has created a practically un-
precedelted situation, the worst
known il 30 years in Great Britain.
The same condition apparently ex-
lists throughout Europe. From all
parts of Great Britain come stories
of trains buried in snow drifts, the
worst case being that of a passenger
train bound from Dundee to Edin-
burgh, which ran into a snow drift
at six o'clock last night and still is
embedded, Forty to fifty women had
narrow escape from death today
owing to the collapse of a s1ow-laden
roof of a Convent Garden warehouse,
but most of them were rescued with
only slight injuries

ENGINEERS DO NOT SYM
PATHlZE WITH FIREMEN.

New Orleans, La, Dec. 2S.-Forty
rike-breaker firemen from ST. Louis
and Cincinnati arrived here last night
and were located in quarters furnish
ed by the Southern Pacific. 1t is re-
ported that the union engineers are
making no objection to placing non
union firemen on their engines, and
this conciliatory attitude of the en-
gineers is said to be due to opposi-
ton to the present demands of the
firemen.
