Union of Christian Forces.


Referring to the subject of war. which
had been mentioned by Mr.. Macdonald.
the bishop said: Iii used to be said that
England and America could unite and
whip the world: but what do we want
our Christian forces, however, and cort-
vert the world, and this Is a better way
to use our powers"
The bishop eloquently pictured the
divine truths which shine into the souls
of true men, and. rejecting, mirror-like
cast their brightness into other souls
He spoke of mans duty to God and his
fellow man, and declared that the truths
OF God were eternal.
He gave glowing account of the work
of the y. NJ. c. A. here and in other
lands. it's vastness and its elevating in
fluence: its practicability, adaptation and
perseverance in the original intent of its
founders. and said there was not perhaps
in the world another movement where
such good returns were secured as in the
Young Mems Christian Association.
1t is an organization, 1t was declared
which reaches the inner life of men. 1t
aims to produce wholesome men of char
acter. 1t produces the conviction that
has become a demonstrated certainty
that the Gospel of Jesus Christ furnishes
the only abiding solution to pressing per-
sonal, social and national problems The
Y. M. c. A. attracts to it non-Christian
men, who become loyal to 1t and its
ideals. securing at the same time the CO.
operation of Christian men of all creeds

and higher life. 1t appeals to men of all
creeds and no creeds

NEW YORK, November 23.-Mrs. Mich
olas NJ. Smith, the wife of a salesman who
Achelis, 66 Leonard street shot and in
stant.y killed her husband as he lay
asleep in their home at 80 Woodland ave-
nue., New Rochelle, today. Then she
spent an hour cunningly arranging to fire
the house by laying a train of inf1amma-
bles from two barrels of automobile oil in
the cellar. After she had set the spark
to the tinder and when the flames had
eaten their way into the room in which
she was, Mrs. Smith hailed the firemen
who were pounding for admittance with
out, then lay down on a clean bed and
sent a bullet through her heart.
1t was as Grace Bulkeley Smith that the
woman was passed upon by the coroner
AS Grace Buikeley. the daughter of the
late William II. Bulkeley, one-time lieu
tenant governor of Connecticut, and as
the niece of United States Senator Nor

be AN abstract of the minutes of the pro-
bate court of Hartford in the appraise-
ment of the estate of the late William FL.
Bulkeley, who died November Z, 1902
Known as Grace Bulkeley.
DR.. Merritt Chambers of New Rochelle,
who was among those who made formal
Identification of her body, told the coroner
that in her lifetime Mrs. Smith had told
him that she was the daughter Of the
former lieutenant governor of Connecti-
cut and sole heir to his estate, which
amounted to over a million. The appraise-
ment figure given in the paper found in
the dead woman's effects placed the
amount of the estate at $1,145,933
Tonight. when news of the woman's
murder of her husband followed by her
suicide, became public and she was
spoken of in the papers by the name un-
der which she has always passed sine !,
her residence in New Rochelle, Grace
Bulkeley Smith, the daughter of the late
William H. Bulkeley, members Of the
Bulkeiey family denied absolutely that
the dead woman was one OF the daught ars

for years she had traded on the name of
the real Grace Bulkeley, one of the six
children of the former Hartford politician
who is now Mrs. David Van Setback, and
who lives with her husband at 20 Capt.

time become a steady downpour. Il have
an advantage over the other speakers"
he said to his audience. for you will sit
here rather than go out and get wet
1t will be dry enough here
The truth of God, declared the bishop,
is Gods own nature finding expression in
personal character. God endeavors to eX-
press himself in the lives OF men. and
good men show the truth of God. He
did not like the phrase Through nature
to natures God" which, he said, was
favorite expression of people who are not
trying very hard to find God. "'Through
man up to mans God" he considered
better, but still better is Through Christ
up to the God of Christ Jesus Christ.
he said, should be in the lives of men;
thus we would have God in Christ in US.
Bishop Mcdowell evidently opposes
any change in the direction of abandon
ing the so-called evangelical test of ac-
tive membership in Young Mems Chris
tlon associations. We can get any
number of people," he said by abandon
ing this test. just as we can win the
world alter fashion by going over to

whites by many millions. and all of them

go to war with us? What would happen
If the war clouds should overspread the
Pacific? We would fight as our ancestors
taught us to fght-aS the devil teaches
men of all ages to fight. But what would
be the issue of that last battle of the
world? 1t behooves us to behave like
men,.
1t was dec ared that, having shifted ia

LIVING SKELETON WANTS JOB
HUSTLING HOTEL BAGGAGE
BY THE EAvEsDRGPPER

Hotel men and, in fact, business men
of every kind receive many ridiculous
and not a few pathetic applications for
positions, but for the ludicrous Sam
Whitmore, manager Of the Alexandria
hotel has had one that surpasses them
all.
A long, lean individual with hungry
look managed to get past the clerks,
porter and the line of bell boys at the
Alexandria yesterday and into the pres
ence OF Mr.. Whitmore.
"Please, sir, have you got any work?''
Moved perhaps by the hungry express
sion in the mans face and perhaps by
little human curiosity to find out
what this cadaVerous looking individual
could do to earn living, Mr.. Whitmore
asked:
What kind of work can you do?'
"Well, l ken work, all right. l used
to be the livinG skeleton in a dime
museum up in San Francisco, but
gained twenty-five pounds and they
fired me. Sald l was too fat. l tried
not to get fat and did not eat much,
so l amt got an idea what made me
so fat"
Mr.. Whitmore looked at the collec-
tion of human bones strung together
and covered with a shabby suit of
faded tweed and his ideas Of courtesy
alone succeeded in overcoming his sense
of humor

pounds more before / attempt to do

DAUGHTER HAS BEEN MISSING
A WEEK
Left Home Last Sunday in a Myste-
rious Manner and No Trace of
Her Has Since Been
Found

No trace has been found of Hattie
James, the pretty little 1S-year-old girl
who disappeared from the home of her
parents, 1434 Rubio street, last Sunday
morning, and despite of the fact that
her mother and father have run down
every clew they thought might lead
to the discovery of her whereabouts
they have been unable to locate her
or find any person who has seen her
since she left home.
The story of the little girls. disap-
pearance is a strange one. According
to her mother she had no intimate
friends or companions. Theaters did
not attract her and her principal pleas
ure was derived from reading. Books
of adventure and travel she craved,
but was also fond of poetry

the child could have gone" said Mrs.
James yesterday afternoon "The last
time L saw her was early last Sunday.
l was awakened by hearing the noise
of a window being opened in my
daughters room. L arose from bed
and went into her room, She was
awake and when 1 asked her what

her and returned to bed.

my husband arose about 4:30 o'clock.
He is employed at the Swift Packing

and she was asleep at that time.
When 1 went to call her at o'clock
the little girl was gone. At first l
thought she had gone next door to
my mothers house, but when | in
quired there / was told she had not
been seen. A search of her wardrobe
then brought forth the fact that she
had taken with her simply a little
pink dress, her black shoes and stock
ings. She wore no hat, belt or collar.
"Since her disappearance many per-
sons have telephoned me that they

Hattie was a good girl, but hard

age, yet was in the eighth grade at

study has weakened her mind. She

we have received and cured hum
dreds of just such patients as you.
Patients like yourself who have
practically come to California to
die.
Never mind how bad your condi-
tion nor what your home doctor has
told you, come to us and let us give
you n plain man to man talk re-
gardlng your condition and what we
can do for you.
The Reason
When you come to our offices for
treatment you are very carefully and
minutely examined so that the exact
condition of your lungs and all of
the symptoms may be accurately
noted and diagnosed. You are treat
ed separately and individually. In
our long experience, extending over
forty years. as Lung Specialists, 1t
nus DeGll IOICcu upOl Oul HOllCe llldl
each case is q distinct and separate
individuality, and while there are
many symptoms in common, the
whole complex picture is entirely
different from that of any other
case, therefore it was early decided
that while there are certain forms of
treatment that were necessary in all
cases, that there were other parts
which would have to be carefully
regulated and arranged to meet the
requirements in each particular In.
stance. Each case that comes to us
is carefully studied separately and
treated separately, and this Is the
reason we can cure tuberculosis.

a single application gives imme-
diate comfort, and relieves at once
the most distressing symptoms.
2. The hardened sccretiOns are
softcncd and removed, causing the
greatest amount of relief to tho suf-
fcrer
3. The liberated surface is de-
odorized, every unpleasant smell Is
removed and the breath is restored
to it's natural sweetness and purity,
4. The poisonous action of the dis
ease upon the throat is neutralized
and arrested, threatened consump-
lion avcrted and q complete and rad
iCal cure is fully established.
5. The applications do not cause
the least pain or distress, and do not
interfere with diet or business.
Bronchitis
is a catarrhal inflammation of the
lining membrane Of the bronchial
tubes and is always cured by our
systematic course of inhalations.
Asthma
as a primary disease, does not exist.
1t is always secondary to some pre-
vious cause. 1t invariably results
from the following causes:
1. Nervous contraction of the mus
cular coat of the bronchial tubes.
2. A venous congestion of the
walls of the bronchi.
9. a contraction of the smaller ar
teries of the lungs.
4. Inflammation of the mucous
membrane lining the nasal passages.
The skilled and expert specialist in
charge of this class of diseases at
this office, being fully conversant
with these facts about Asthma, in
variably cures all cases, while the
less experienced family physician
invariably fails.
The above diseases, neglected or
improperly treated, lead to Pulmo-
nary Emphysema, Pleurisy, Hydro
PneumothoraX, Catarrhal Pneumo-
mia, Chronic Military Tuberculosis,
Consumption and the grave.
