ANNUAL ADDRESS.

The annual address was then de-
livered by Rev. c. Fred Black burn,
pastor of the M. +. Church, South,
who took for text Matthews IS :3l.32
tho parable OF the mustard seed. He
said in part;
The parable OF the mustard seed
was used simply to illustrate the small
beginning and vast growth of the
American Bible Society. The Amer
lean Bible Society as a national organ
ization was founded In 1916, its or
ganization being inspired by the great
needs OF the South and West which
were beyond the resources OF q State
Society. ..
Unfolding the aims and the work
OF the American Bible Society. the
speaker illustrated the work among
the destitute aud the ignorant found in
country places and crowded cities. A
noble work is being done among the

may feel their wsy through the pages

One OF the most important lines ol
activity is that OF supplying immi
grants to the United States with {
copy Of the bible 10 their native Ian
guage. Up to October, 1904, 1884,,
O66 volumes had been distributed n
Ellis Island. Among the miners o

American Bible Society. 1852, ,95:
volumes were given away during th'
great civil war. Among the sailors
through the Seamen's Friend Societ,
and other agencies, the Word Of Goo
is circulated.
The speaker recited touching 10
cident showing tho needs Of tn,
Indians and how they we're supplied
with the Bible; also the oolored peo
pie were not neglected.
Perhaps the most far reaching il
results is the work done in foreigl

in some instances, and always as al
aid to the missionary, the American
Bible Society sent Bibles in the Ian
gunges OF the natives.

Minola, Texas, Sept. l0.-1n an effort to

johnson, n negro, lit his own funeral
pyre. He was burned to death while a
crowd around the Jail, watching his last
agonies. through the iron window bars

beyond his control. and the turnkey could
not be found until too late.

rushed TO the burning lock-up.

him. A heavy battering ram was pro-
cured, but the iron doors withstood the
shocks. Axes and sledge hammers had
no more effect, and the crowd was
forced to look on and watch the negro
burn to death.
The town is without adequate fire ser
vice and by the Tune the small hose was
played on the flames, the fire was beyond

TcIltnic Memoranda Left by the suicide
Teller Of StcnsInnd's hank.

Chicago, Sept. 10-Sccrct memoranda
covering Illegal transactions In the Stems
land bank were found yesterday by Police
Inspector shippy among the effects of
Frank kowalski, the teller whose suicide
followed closely the exposure of tho
banks condition. The record kept by
Kowalski. 1t is alleges, indicates that
apparently that in less than a year,
Henry W. Herring. the imprisoned cashier,
personally obtained $40, 400 of the o
o. depositors by the same means adopted
by St.nsland in his systematic looting of
the vaults. In four months, by the use of
cash tickets which he placed in the
drawer, he obtained 5000 more, accord
ing to kowalski's schedule, and in an
other month 5000.
The discovery Of kowalski's telltalc
figures was a result Of the opening yes
terday of n wooden cupboard in che of
the bank vaults that had remained un-
noticed since Bank Examiner Jones took
charge of the institution August 4. When
1t was forced open in the presence Of AT
torney Joseph Weisscnbach and Jacob w.
Leeh. representing Receiver Fetzer. a
bundl Of forged notes was found, the
existence of which had rot been suspected
and which will increase materially, it is
believed. the total amount stolen from
the bank.
There was also a memorandum in the
handwriting of Henry W. Herring which
Tailed closely with the memorandum OF
Paul o. Stensland's forgery and which he
left behind when he fed from Chicago.

TARIFF REVISION.
One of the contentious of the Demo-
cratic party is that the protective tariff
develops trusts. and that the most formid-
able weapon that could be used against
them Is the revision Of the tariff, / do
not propose to discuss the schedules OF
the tariff. The great majority of the Am
erican people arc In favor of maintain
ing the protective system. The operation
of the tariff affects broad sections and
localities, and Is deemed important to the
welfare of millions Of workingmen and
small dealers and the country at large.
Substantial changes are attended with risk
to the important legitimate business in
%terests. This Is what makes legislators
hesitate Mt n revision in a period Of un-
exampled prosperity. Moreover. 1t Is i'm
practicable by q revision Of the tariff to
destroy trusts. The effect which a pro-
tcctive tariff has in aid Of trusts is in
the partial exclusion or hampering OF
foreign competition in articles manufac-
tured by trusts. thus narrowing the COM
petition by illegal trust methods: but the
principle of excluding or hurdcning for
eifn competition with home manufacture
Is tho protective system. In other words,
the question presented Is whether it Is
wiser to maintain the benefits of the pro-
tective system and deal with tho evils OF
tho management of trusts by specific leg
islation directed To those evils, or in an
attempt to curve trusts to pull down the
entire protective system. Tho best and
CCly safe way to reach the evils Of the
trusts Is. therefore. rs the President has
said. by direct legislation and executive
action to compel them to obey the law.
