DR. FENNELL
GETS CALL TO
HARTFORD
Pastor Of South Baptist
Church Undecided as to
Its Acceptance.

The congregation of the Asylum Ave-
nue. Baptist Church, Hartford, Conn.,,
has extended a call to the Rev. DIR.
w. G. Fennell, of this city, to become
pastor of that church upon the retire.
ment of the Rev. DIR. George NJ. Stone
on June l next. The Rev. DIR. Fennell
has been pastor of the South Baptist
Church, this city, for several years.
While it Is not definitely known, it
is believed that the decision to call the
local pastor was made at a meeting of
the congregation last night.
DR. Fennell first received the infor-
nation of the action of the Hartford
congregation from an EVENING STAR
reporter. He expressed much surprise,
saying that while he understood such
an act was contemplated he had no
idea that 1t would be decided upon so
81 have received no official notice
of the call as yet" said the pastor.
DR.. Fennell and DR.. Stone are old
friends and have frequently exchanged
pulpits, especially prior to DR.. Fen
nell's coming to this city, when he had
charge of a church in Connecticut. DR..
Fennell said that he had preached in
DR.. Stones pulpit many times, the last
time being a few months age, while he
was or his vacation. He said he Their
knew that DR.. Stone would retire next
June, but his appearance before the
congregation at that time he regarded
in no way as that of a candidate to
succeed the present pastor of the
church.
DR.. Fennell could not say whether or
not he would accept the call. "Only one
or two of my congregation know about
the matter now. l did not know 1t
would be contaminated so soon," he
said, land so have said nothing
it."

FATE OF WRECKED SHIPS.
Wooden Vessels Last Longer Than Those
of Iron or Steel.

A French periodical devoted to maritime
affairs discusses the question OF what be-
comes of wrecked ships and arrives at the
conclusion that the wooden hulls survive
a great deal longer than those of iron OF
steel construction when they become bur
led in beds of sand or sink to the bottom
of the ocean.
There Is at present no means OF deter
mining the length of time 1t takes for
either to disintegrate completely. but it
IL known thai wooden vessels have been
dug UP after centuries. not yet wholly de-
cayed. 1t is not believed that iron or steel
vessels can resist for any great time the
chemical effects OF sea water.
When a wooden vessel sinks the rate of
progress to the bottom is very slow. 1t
is not believed to be faster than 100 faith
oms In fifteen minutes unless she is laden
with some such dense and weighty cargo
as coal or mineral ore.
Thus. when she touches bottom. espe-
ctally If the material be mud or sand, the
impact Is gentle and no damage is done
to the structure beyond what it received
at the surface. Neither Is there any me-
chanical agency to interfere with ii. Cur
rents are harmless and the force of the
waves ceases a comparatively few feet be-
low the surface. So there the wreck lies.

disturbed until the end of the world.
The action of the sea water is not very

The legislature adjourned It's regu-

certain matters which the governor
deemed Of vital and pressing impor-

The specific subjects to be dealt
with are these: The enactment OF
such legislation as may be necessary
to provide for the regulation Of rates
OF public utility corporations; pro-
vision OF means for enforcing state
dramshop laws; the enactment OF a
law with emergency clause for the
suppression OF race.track gambling

TWO HARD RI.Ows,

The second session of the Fifty.
ninth cong ress deserves TO be distin.
guished In the memory OF the people
ON the score of two severe wind
storms which ragged during the SEES
sion Ia the senate. Not often Is a
congressional session marked hy two
blows so hard as these.
There was the Brownsville blow,
for which the Hon. j. II. Foraker. OF
ohio, furnished the wind. Arising
over an incident which amongst sane
men would have been taken quite as
a matter of course, this blow lasted
for the full space OF thirty days-s
very hurricane, And when the rage
OF the STERN subsidized, there was
Foraker, blown clear out of the
water, his presidential hopes beached
high aud dry. The prophets who
make speciality of presidential fore,
casts have eliminated from their lists
the name OF the Hon. John h. For.
aker. He was wrecked by shs
Brownsville windstorm OF his own
making.
And there was the Carmacs
The Idaho recorder. [volume] (Salmon City, Idaho) 1886-1927, 1907-04-04

"twister" in the closing hours of the
session. Carmack appears to be a
much more skillful wind artist than
MIR. Foraker; for, In talking the ship
subsidy proposition to death, he
blew himself into n tirm place in the
regard of the people. That perform
ance marked the close OF distin-
auished career In congress; for MIR.
Carmack is numbered amongst those
who retired to private life at the close
Of the Fifty.niuth congress. But.
more than likely, he viii be heard
from again; for the country has need
of the services OF whirlvinds like
Carmack.
Whether a congressional wind.stc run
shall 6eget wreck and ruin, or serve
TO .resheu aud revive seems 10 depend
upon the art OF the blowers. There
will be no division Of opinion UPON
the proposition that Foraker was but
a clumsy amateur. as compared with
the finished mastery of Carmack.
