PREACHERS NEED MORE MONEY.
Many Are Deserting the Pulpit Be-
 cause Salaries Are Too Low.

Chicago, October 7.-Reports received by the Tribune from 10 of the Methodist Episcopal conferences in Illinois and neighboring states show that the question of a higher salary for the average min ister of that church has reached crisis. The generally expressed opinion is that religious work soon will suffer for lack of preachers unless salaries are raised. In many of the conferences just held there was an exodus of preachers from the pull pit to enter business life. The higher sal aries movement was discussed and advo- cated at practically all the conferences.
 Salaries have been advanced about $lOO each during the last four years, but this increase, which has not kept pace with the cost of living, has failed to stem the ministerial stampede into business lie.

It would appear as if half the popu- lation of Jefferson county had busi- ness in the court house yesterday morning. Courts and corridors were thronged almost to suffocation, while over and above the din of talk could be heard the vocies of the bailiff shouting the names of absent jurors
 While Judge A. O. Lane was busy organizing iuries in his division of the circuit court. the Rev. L. S. Handley of the Central Presbyterian church opened the proceedings with prayer in Judge Colemans court.
 Judge II. A. Sharpe commenced the organization of juries in the city court and soon exhausted the venire owing to the absence of several jurors Fines of $50 each were entered against all jurors failing to answer which will be enforced unless good excuses are given.
 When it became necessary to sum mon extra jurors the question arose as to the legality of the newly ap- pointed bailiffs acting in the capacity of deputy sheriffs A consultation of the four Judges was called, and after some deliberation it was considered advisable to employ the services of sheriff Higdon to execute the processes of the court in summoning the extra jurors This matter Is another one upon which the question of it's con stitutionality will be one for the courts to decide.

MR.. ROCKEFELLER TESTIFIED
And He Didn't Know the First
Thing About the Standard
Oil Company.

Mr. John D. Rockefeller, when final
ly run to earth by a subpoena server
after an exhilarating pursuit through
four states, proved docile witness
and off the chair an amiable human
being. But he threw no light on the
mysterious question why an aggrega-
ton of shrewd and unsentimental
business men like the Standard Oil
Company should pay him salary for
acting as its president. Mr.. Rookie
Teller confessed humbly that he knew
nothing at all about the affairs of the
Standard Oil Company. He said that
his position as president was purely
honorary, and that he had not rem
dered any services whatever for eight
or ten years. He guessed that the
capital stock of the company was
about $Ioo 600, 900, but did not know.
He had general impression that the
company had a refinery and refined
oil He coud not tell whether the
Standard Oil Company of New Jersey
had more than one refinery or not.
nor did he have any idea of its net
earnings. incidentally he remarked
that he had not entered the company's
office in eight years. Mr.. Rockefel-
ler's knowledge of the affairs of the
corporation over which he presides
would hardly qualify him to write
undertaking magazine article. But
his ignorance didn't save him. His
fine was $2o,ooo,ooo.

The hundred and fftieth anniver-
sary of Gives victory at Plassey, by
which Britain's Indian Empire was
won, and the fiftieth anniversary of
the great Mutiny, by which it was
nearly lost, have conceded this year
with an unprecedented uprising of
national feeling in India. The situ-
alton is so grave, and discomfort and
sedition are preached so openly, that
even such liberal statesman as Mr..
Morley has felt compelled to resort
to repressive measures of stringent
severity. At the same time he is Of

THE DRIFT OF SMOKE.
By Blanche Trennor Heath.

Under the hillside that echoes back
The clang of the rail with its rumb
ling freight,
In a cottage close to the iron track
There are two bright eyes that
watch and wait,
Watch and wait for the flying train,
The engines throb and the loud
bells stroke,
Baby eyes by the window-pane
That look for the cddying drift OF
smoke.
Keen of vision and stanch of nerve
The engineer at the throttle stands.
Speeding by perilous bride and curve
With life or death in his steady
hands,
But he thinks mid the rush of the
flying train,
The engines throb and the loud
bells stroke,
Of the baby eyes by the window-pane
That look for the eddying drift Of
smoke.
Through the lonely vigil of day and
night,
Wary, watchful of danger near,
The face of child is on his sight,
The voice of child is in his ear.
Speed safe and sure, o flying train,
Throb of engine and loud bells
stroke,
To the baby eyes by the window-pane
That look for the eddying drift of

THE NEW WOMAN.

The world today, stands pleading.
ly in need of new woman.
Not one whose beauty of face and
figure, alluringly draws admiration
and attention.; whose eyes impel with
a strongly magnetic force all who
come beneath their glance; whose
musical voice and caressing tones lur
on with a SIRENS charm men tied
to the masts of human struggle.
No; it is a thorough woman the
world needs.
Think you that Helen of Troy, or
Cleopatra, both mature women could
have changed the world on the
strength of their beauty alone? had
they not womhnly qualities which
strongly appealed to the better side
of man?
Creation has produced many wo-
men as beautiful perhaps; but they
lacked that talcsman of charm; that
only a woman, a thorough woman
can exert inhuentially over mankind
in general,
One perceivcs pensively, sad
wave that seems to spread contage-
ously over America in general, de
moralizing one and all, and carrying
inits sad and mournful wake, many
women unfortunately. susceptible to
its evil wiles, and too weak to stand
upon their womanhood, resistingly.
If there were only stronger maid
ems today; we would have more Chi
Various and manly suitors.
And if there were purer, domestic,
and more self sacrificing mothers,
there would be fewer shallow and
inconsistent individuals and more
glorious examples Of true manhood
and womanhood. Therefore, let us
advocate the transition of the new
woman.

Thus far fewer than fifty distincr

These combine in many different
ways to produce the various normal

the stucco front OF character fake

false structures crumble. It has been

is that the sturdy methods Of the fore
