Letter From Ralph Ray

TURIGUANo. CUBA, Oct. 8, 1905.
DEAR FRIENDS AT HOME: ] have
recently returned from Jamaica.
Jamaica is fine island. About the
only drawback is that it has 50
many negroes. 1t is not far from
Cuba. On Wednesday afternoon
we went cut of the great haroor OF
Santiago de Cuba, out past MORO
Castle which guards the narrow en-
trance where the Merrlmac was
sunk by Hobson. The next morn
ing at six we entered the harbor Of
Kingston, the capital of Jamaica.
There is so much to tell, I hardly
know where to begin.
I stayed at the Victoria hotel
which is not far from Kings
house, as they call the governors
palace. Most of the time I was
around Kingston. There are black
and white British soldiers every
where. The most of the white
soldiers are on a high steep noun
tain between Kingston and Spanish
Town, The capital city is quite a
modern appearing town, but Spanish
Town, the old capital, looks as
ancient as Madrid, although not
nearly SO large. The whole island
of Jamaica is not as big as the pro-
vince of Santiago in this country.
When I left Cuba it was Republic.
but, from what they say now, 1
judge that your northern republic
has this country over is knees
Mr.. Mccall is going to the States
next week and will leave me to
manage the island alone for three
or four weeks. The Company has
placed Mr.. Mccall in authority
alone so that when he goes to the
States, I rule the island.
1t is now six and one-half months
since / left the States, and in that
short time how many things have
occurred! The last two years seem
to me more like a dream than a
reality. / am very well. Oranges,
lemons. bananas, plantains, guanas,
pineapples, anonas, and many other
tropical fruits are ripe here now.
When we want them we go and
get them or send a Cuban for them.
Give my best regards to all inquir-
ing friends. Yours truly,
RALPH RAY.

If the Bible satisfies humanity to
so large an extent, why should it
not satisfy the higher critic?"
This is the question which is puzzl-
ing some of the best brain of the
country, and in attempting to solve
it the American Bible League has
been organized.
The Chicago branch of this league
will hold a three days meeting at
the Y. NJ. G. A. auditorium in Chi
cago commencing October 30.
This organization, while not as
Stunning to oppose any reasonable eff
fort toward intelligent interpreta-
ton of the Bible, is composed of
men who vigorously oppose a
destructive criticism which they
allege to be undermining the faith
of those who accept its teachings.
In other words, the so-called higher
criticism, /" insofar as it discredits the
Bible as the directly inspired word
of God, meets their stern disap-
proyal, and they are actively en-
gagged in speaking and writing to
encourage the faith of those who
cling to the orthodox beliefs.
William Phillips Fall, a wealthy
manufacturer of New York city, is
president of the league and will be
one of the speakers at the Chicago
meeting. The vice-president is Hen
~ B. f. mcfarland, well-known
Washington newspaper correspond
ent and one of the commissioners
of the District of Columbia. Many
other ministers, educators and lay
men Of prominence are included in
the organization.

thing is being revamped from the
Standard OIL company TO the Demo
cratic party, 1t is not at all surprls-
ing that the old. bible, which has
stood the test OF, centuries, should
come in for its share of criticism.
That this criticism should come
from the higher critics" would nat
uralIy be expected, for they belong
to the class which is doing so much
today to save the world from pre-
mature destruction. Theological
muckrakers, are one notch higher
up in the scale than Lawson, Tar
bell, Steffens, Baker, and the long
list of world purifiers in the COM
mercial, political and social field,
but fired by the same lofty ambi-
ton to reform everything in sight.
The Bible, like the railroad, never
talks back. 1t requires neither brain
nor culture to attack the latter, and
so everybody takes a whirl at the
rate bill, the rebate, and the de-
moralizing pass, but the railroad
keeps on doing business for the
benefit of humanity.
So the Bible, with its beacon light
penetrating the dark corners and
its admonitions and promises hold
ing and comforting the race, goes
on with steady purpose fulfilling
its sacred mission.
The masses believe in the Bible;
they accept the miracles and myster-
les without question because it was
the book of books IN the old home,
and the Bible and the mother are in
separable memories.
The old family Bible. yellow with
age and dusty from neglect, is still
the heirloom in many a home, and
its authority is never questioned.
The code of laws on the tablet of
stone. brought down by Moses from
the mountain, is recognized as the
standard of moral conduct and peo-
pie of all classes pay tribute.
Someone asked an old lady if she
really believed that the whale swal-
lowed Jonah. She replied indignant
", "Of course l do, for the Bible
says so, and I would believe the
Bible if it said that Jonah swallowed
the whale"
That is the kind of faith that Is
stronger than argument and it is
largely universal. 1t is sublime
faith which has to do with the one
and only book which reveals any
thing of the life beyond. To the be-
lever it is chart which inspires
implicit confidence. and to mankind
in general it commands respect and
reverence
To disturb this faith is next t.
crime and is so regarded by some of
the best thinkers and Bible scholars
in the land.
A devout old shoemaker, who be-
lieved that every word of the Bible
was literally true and who trans
lated it to suit himself, was defend
ing his position one day in the
presence of a noted rheoIogian.
The scholar turned away with a
smile and said:
Z wouldn't say anything to dis
turb that old mans faith for the
world. The Bible is a veritable
light to his path. 1t will guide him
safely along the journey and land
him close to the pearlY gates"

THE TRINITY <
BRAzOS VALLEY
IS NOW OWNED JOINTLY BY THE FRISCO
AND ROCK ISLAND SYSTEMS.
CENTRAL WILL EXTEND
Hartman to Build from Kansas City
10 Denison to Connect with Lines
of the Southern Pacific.

The following story is from the
Wall Street Journal, and is the
text OF an official statement. The
Rock Island has acquired a one-half
interest in the Trinity and Brazos
Valley, which owns line extending
from Cleburne to Mexia in Texas,
and is now constructing from Mexia
to Houston with a branch line from
a point in Freestone county through
Corscana to Waxahachie. The Trim
ity and Drazos Valley has the right
to use the Santa Fe tracks from Gle
burne to Fort Worth and the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas tracks from
Waxahachie to Dallas; also the San
ia F'e tracks from Houston to Calves
ton
Through this acquisition the Rock
Island and its allied interests, the
Frisco, have extended their lines
from Fort Worth and Dallas to Gal
weston and Houston.
The Frisco has acquired all the
rights of the Colorado Southern,
New Orleans and Pacific, which is
now engaged in constructing, or ac-
quiring, line of railroad from Bat
on Rouge through Beaumont to
Houston, Texas. The latter company
has the right to use the tracks of the
Illinois Central from Baton Rouge
into New Orleans. BY this acquisi-
ton the Frisco furnishes for it's own
lines and the Rock Island lines a
connection between Houston and
New Orleans. 1t is expected that all
of the construction of the Trinity and
Brazos Valley and the Colorado
Southern, New Orleans and Pacific,
will be completed by January /,
1907. The Rock Island will shortly
complete the construction of it's rock

Proposed Hartman Extension,

Report is current in railroad cir
cles that e. II. Hartman is to build
road from Kansas City through the
Indian Territory to Denison, Texas.
Strained relation between Hartman
and the Yoakum, Rock Island Frisco
interests is said to be the chief rea-
son for the step. Hartman has
activities of the Yoakum group in
building new lines in the Southern
Pacific territory, and it is believed
he is preparing for campaingn of
retaliation.
Hartman, through the Southern
Pacific and the Union Pacific and re-
lated lines, at present covers the
country west of the Mississippi all
connection between the northern and
the southern systems being made on
the Pacific coast or at Salt Lake City
The lines now extending from
Kansas City and Omaha west to the
coast and northwest to Seattle and
Spokane, while the Southern Pacific
runs through Texas, New Mexico and
Arizona and along the California
coast to various connections
The proposed line from Denison
would cohplete the Hartman circuit,
with network taking in the entire
country west of the Mississippi. Con
nection at Denison would be made
with the Houston and Texas Central

Southern Pacific system

yapan,s Empress Popular.

1t Is doubtful if any royal consort Is
more loved by her people than is the
empress of Japan. Educated accord
ing to feudal ideas and skilled in all
the accomplishments BETTING one of
her social eminence, her majesty
strongly favors the broadness of the
new education for women and from
her private purse gives large sums
toward the maintenance of women's
schools and universities. During the
war with Russia the empress visited
the hospitals many times and every
day passed hours making bandages
The effect of these bandages upon the
wounded soldiers has been of deep in
terest to medical and scientific men
for the soldiers honored by them
seemed to rally under a peculiar men
tai influence. All other bandages were
destroyed after their first use; those
made by the empress were sterilized
and used again for the simple reason
of their effect on the recovery of the
soldiers.
