FRIENOSVIiLE'S GREAT
RELIGIOUS MOVEMENT
Evangelist Wallace Closes Three
Weeks Campaign Seventy
four Conversions.

The greatest evangelistic campaign in
the history of FriendsviIle was brought
to a successful conclusion on Friday
evening, April 18th, under the direction
and auspices of Evangelist Virgil W.
Wallace of the Church of Christ.
The meeting was of three weeks du-
ration, during which time seventy-four
souls were added to the church
During the entire meeting the church
was crowded to the limit of its capacity
and the interest and enthusiasm of the
towns people was at its highest tension.
On the closing night the new members
were invited to reception in charge of
the congregation, held in Aliens Opera
House. This was one of the most en-
joyable affairs ever held in the town.
The sight of all the new members lined
up in semi-circle on the stage of the
opera house, where they were given the
hand Of fellowship by the congregation
was one never to be forgotten by those
participating, and one well calculated to
warm the hearts of even the most pes
simlstic Christian.
The forceful manner of the evangelist
in presenting the simple Gospel plea, to-
gether with the excellent music, botf
vocal and instrumental, under the direc.
ton of Misses Iva A. Mccullough, OF
Friendsville, and Adelaide Jaynes, Of
Fairmont, W. Va, contributed largely
to the success of the effort. R.

22s,ooo Tons of Naval strenoth.

From Harper's Weekly.
 The fleet is made up of 223, 900 tons of fighting ships, mounting 925 modern guns of the latest improved types AL though the 13-inch guns are the heav- fest on all the ships, the most power- full weapons in the fleet are the IA 12- inch guns. Each one of these shoots a projectile weighing 870 pounds with a muzzle energy of 2700 feet second and muzzle velocity of 44,0O0 foot-tons; which is to say, a power that could lift 44.000 tons one foot.
 It is difficult even for a navy man to grasp the full significance of the figures that tell of the effectiveness of these great ships. Probably no battle- ship is better known to Americans than the Oregon, which raced around South America from the/Pacifc in 1898, and with her 36 guns played a most effective part in the destruction of Cervera's fleet off Santiago.
 The Georgia, recently completed, of equal tonnage with the Oregon. also carries 36 guns but they are vastly more effective The Oregon has four 13-inch guns in her main battery-the Georgia four 12-inch guns in her main battery. Each has eight sinch guns. The oregon has four 6-inch guns, against 2 on the Georgia. The Georgia has 12 3-inch guns, whereas the Oregon had 12 mere 6-pounders. Gunnery eX- perts declare that the oregon developes S19.456 foot-tons of energy in five minutes of firing, while in. the same $ time the Georgia develops 3,927l72 foot-tons of energy.
 That is to say, the Georgia Is five times as effective as the famous Ore gon. This advance is due to the in- creased rapidity of fire, due to inn proved mechanism in handling the guns and the improved methods of training the gunners. Marvellouely excellent mechanical devices have much to do with the greater efficiency, but best of all is the system of team work in each gun crew, whereby every man in obedience to signals given, if nec- essary in pantomime, does his work with all the speed and precision or football or baseball player to whom instantaneous intelligent action IS the price of victory.

CABIN BOYS AND KING OSCAR.
Senator Perkins Adventure When a Youth In Swedish Royal Garden.

Washington Correspondence Chicago
 Tribune.
 It is not often two boys before the mast enjoy an audience with crowned head, but that was the experi- ence of United States Senator George Clement Perkins of California and a "squarehead" shipmate in the days of their youth. Perkins was born and raised in the quaint town of Kenne- bunkport, Me, in the old times one of the great shipping points of the Pine Tree State. The rowing blood of gen. erations of ancestors caused him to take French leave" of home and join a merchantmen which was bound for foreign parts. At the time Perkins was only 14 years of age, and he shared the hard work of cleaning up the cabin and the focsle and doing other odd jobs with a 16-year-old youngster named Sandy.
 The vessel put in at Stockholm, Sweden, and the two boys were granted shore leave. They wanderd around the city looking with goggle eyes at the strange sights, and finally came to a garden which surrounded an imposing mansion.
 The youngsters sneaked over the fence and walked about the grounds. Their promenade was interrupted by ign-looking middle-aged man who asked them in English how they had entered, and appeared to take the greatest interest in their adventure
 While they were chatting several soldiers dashed up and seized the boys. They addressed the man with great re- spect and released the youngsters when he told them to do so A few more minutes were spent in the com pany of their protector, and then the soldiers escorted the trespassers to the gate.
 Do you know with whom you were talking?" the boys were asked. And their questioner, without giving them an opportunity to respond, answered himself:
 Tt was the King"
 The good ship took Perkins to Cali fornia. where. by industry and hon. esty, he acquired a fortune. In 1879 he was inaugurated governor of the state. While serving in this capacity he visited the yacht of millionaire friend As he boarded the vessel an old salt who was coling rope straghtened up and ejaculated: i Well. by the grea horn spoon, if l that ain't George Perkins," The governor immediately recog- nized ms old shipmate Sandy. From 1 that time, almost quarter of a cen i tury ago. the latter has frequently rrofited by the bounty of his boyhood l friend. The Senator says he frequently
 finds Sandy a nuisance, but he cannot l forget their cruise of long ago or fail

AttelFs Chances Better.

San Francisco. December 2S.-After go. ing for week or more at 10 to 8, the betting on the Owen Moran-Abe Attell fight changed for the first time today. Attel being a bit more firmly installed as favorite at odds of to TO-. The reason for the falling of the Moran stock is attributed principally to Attell's having sent to town a thousand dollars of his own money to bet on himself at the best price. As far as strength is con- cerned the Britisher has attained phys- cal perfection. His work from now on will be for the sole purpose of devel-
 opng speed. Attell also is in good con- dtion. Referee Jeffrles will arrive here Monday morning.

RAILROAD STRIKE
 NOT CONSIDERED
GRAND MASTER p. H. MORRlSSEY
 GIVES OUT STATEMENT CON- TRADICTING REPORTS OF A THREATENED STRIKE.

Chicago. December 2S.-(SpeciaL)- "All sensational reports that we are coming to a strike vote for eastern rail- road employees is untrue. I have denied them several times. The conductors and trainmen have been voting on certain working conditions and wage in- creases and not one line in the proposi- tion refers to a strike"
 P. H. Morrissey, grand master of the Order of Railroad Trainmen, which has 93,000 members, made this statement tonight. With A. B. Garrison and a committee of conductors and trainmen MT. Morrissey was occupied during the day in counting the votes.
 "The conductors and trainmen on eastern lines are deciding to do just what has been done by railroad men in the west" continued MT. Morrissey. "It will require another day to count the votes. It is impossible to tell at .this time what the result will be. Tn ere lis nothing alarming in the situation"
 President Armstrong. of the conduc- tors made a similar statement. About HOG, 900 men are interested in the out come.

Women In Civic Life.

From the Southern Farm Magazine
 They are essentially the homemak CTS and the housekeepers of the world, and they can be most valuable in applying their gifts as such to municipal house. keeping or housekeeping. Women of the Civic Improvement league of Hum- boldt, Tenn. are doing til cir part in a much-needed task by placing on the streets of the town a number of large sheet iron cans and by requesting every business man to see to 1t that all waste paper! banana peels and other refuse be placed in the cans for removal by the proper authorities. That is first step of this womenS organization to- ward improving the appearance of the town. and their campaign should be encouraged locally and extended to other southern towns and cities. The spirit that dominates a movement for the improvement of appearances is born of the spirit for general improve ment and, cultivated assduously, will find profitable expression in many lines of municipal activities.

WOMEN WORSE THAN MEN
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun
 At the close of a department store concert the other morning three wo- men walked out, each leaving a fur collar behind her. All three collars were rescued by an usher, who sent them to the lost property desk, where eventually they were found by the anxious owners
 The season for leaving muffs and fur neckpieces, handbags and pocket books all around the store as well as in the concert room has come, and from the way it starts in l guess we shall be kept busier than ever," said an em- ploye.
 NO, it's not question of hurry with the concert crowd. At least it doesn't look like that to me. Persons who stay to the end and generally stroll out Ielsurely and have no appearance of wanting to catch a train or boat or to get anywhere in particular. It's just case of forgetfulness with most women, and with men, too; but of course, for every man who leaves goods on seat, on the floor or on a counter, there are 90 women, I suppose.
 From what I see here every day forgetfulness is getting to be a dis ease, for which there seems to be no cure. And New York women have it more than most others. I think
 No, I don't think forgetfulness can be cured in an adult, but l am sure it can be prevented if children are taken in hand in time The public schools ought to have memory course and watch out that the youngsters with habit of forgetting to hold on to their owi property study it."
 When the dry goods mans remarks were repeated to a railorad man who lives in New York he listened without surprise.
 'I have noticed the same thing my self" said he, referring to the grow ing forgetfulness of the New York wo- man.

In number, though barring the umbrel- las the clerk conceded that the hun dreds of packages piled up on the tall rows of shelves and labelled "Miscel- laneous" and which contained dry goods fancy articles and underwear, mostly for women's use, more than offset the array of mems belongings.
 The property clerk admitted, with his eye on parrots cage swinging from the ceiling and which held a teddy bear, that he believed New Workers were getting to be more and more forgetful. That cage' he explained, was left in an ele- vated train with a pollparrot in 1t and no one ever appeared to claim 1t. We did the best we could for Mrs. Parrot, but she pined away and died in less than one month. 1 stuck the teddy bear in to keep the cage from being lonesome.
 He pointed to a gilt cage in which vel low canary was chirping. That was brought in nearly five months ago from an elevated train, where it was left all alone in a cross seat when the passen- gers hustled out at the South Ferry terminal. The guard sent him over here at once, believing as I did, that it would be only a question of minutes before a woman would rush in making frantic in- quiries for her pet But no claimant ever turned up and the bird has had free board here ever since because he is such a sweet singer. The office has adopted him
 Was he forgotten? Why certainly. There is no need to abandon a canary in a gilt cage Probably the owner was going out of New York and couldn't or wouldn't take the trouble to come or send for the bird. About the only vari- cities of lost articles we don't get here are babies and dogs, which fortunately for me, are sent elsewhere.
