WILL ERECT NEW CHURCH
BAPTISTS TO ORGANIZE WITH
THAT OBJECT IN VIEW.
Present Edfiee Is Entirely Inadequate
For the Needs Of Large and
Growing Congregation.

A special meeting of the members
of the First Baptist church of this
city will be held at the church tonight
for the purpose of organizing a church
social and improvement society, which
will have for its ultimate object the
creation of a fund for the erection of a
new church edifice on the site of the
present structure, on West King
street. All members and friends of
the church are urged to be present.
For some time past the members
of this church have been seriously dis
cussing this project, and it is con-
fidently believed that the necessary
fund can be secured. The present
church building was erected years ago,
and while yet substantial and COM
Portable building it is inadequate for
the needs of the large and growing
congregation, and the members believe
that new and more commodious edi-
fee is greatly needed.
INC Il hoc bopIlot congregation AS
one of the largest in the city and en-
braces in its membership many wellto-
do and influential members Of the COM
munity. The church membership is
steadily increasing, ard before long
the problem of finding accommodations
for the members of the Sunday school
and church will be one difficult to
meet. The present site Is splendid
one, and it is presumed that when the
members are ready to build their new
and handsome edifice. 1t will be erect
ed on the site of the present structure.

WILL CONTINUE THE FAIR
Exhibition at Inwood to Be Given
Again This Year.
NO REBATES FROM RAILROAD
Stockholders Held An Important Meet
ing and Thoroughly Discussed
the Situation.

The stockholders Of the Inwood Park
association, which controls the annual
county fair at Inwood, held an impor-
tant meeting at the Office of Secretary
C. w. Boyer, and thoroughly discuss
ed the situation. A majority of the
stock was represented at the meeting.
The committee recently appointed to
confer with the Cumberland Valley
railroad officials concerning rebates
submitted its report, which stated that
the road would hereafter be unable TO
give any rebates to the fair managers.
owing to the anti-rebate Law enacted at
the last session of congress. The rail-
road officials declared that under the
law no rebates of any kind could be
given, thus cutting off all revenue from
this source to the fair managers. This
has been one OF the greatest sources
of revenue, and the loss to the fair will
be heavy.
Notwithstanding this handicap, how.
ever, the stockholders decided to con.
time the fair for at least another
year and contract was entered into
with Mr.. Strong for the privilege of u.s.
ing the grounds again this year, with
the additional privilege of 10 years, il
the managers to elect.
After this question had been decided
the stockholders elected the board of
directors, and the latter in turn organ
lied. The officers for the ensuing
year are as follows:
President-Col. James F. Thompson.
First Vice President-William Glen
denning.
Second Vice President-Stewa
Strong.
General Manager-Gray Silver.
Secretary-C. w. Boyer.

TO STOP COAL STEALING.
Railroads Decide to Vigorously Prose
cute Offenders.

The local officials Of the Baltimore
e. Ohio and Cumberland Valley rail
roads have determined to take vigor-
Gus seps toward breaking up the prac-
tice of stealing coal from the cars on
their tracks, and have announced that
all offenders will be prosecuted to the
full extent of the law. Recently the
Cumberland Valley officials caused the
arrest of a man residing near town
for stealing large quantity of coal
from the cars on siding, and he was
heavily fined in Justice Felkers court.
1t was also charged that this man
stole the wheelbarrow with which he
hauled the coal to his place, some dis
lance from the tracks. Men have been
employed to work up these cases, and
several other arrests are expected.
This practice has grown to such pro
portions that hundreds of tons of coal
are stolen every winter from the cars,
and it is said that many men who are
fully able to purchase coal are guilt,
of the practice.

QUIT TALKING ABOUT POVERTY
As a Rule, Life is What We Make it----Believe in Yourself
 and Hustle

lIO hoo SO OIlOuSh pIiO NOAiN talking poverty and asking every one you deal with to show you special consideration because you are "poor' and unfortunate. "
 If you do this with an idea of saving few dollars here and there you will always have to do it, be- cause you are creating poverty conditions by your constant asser tions.
 There are two extremes of people in the world, one as distastful as the other One is represented by the man who boasts of the costli ness of every provision, and in- vites the whole world to behold his opulence and expenditure.
 His clothes, his house, his ser wants, his habits seem no different to the observer from his neighbor, yet, according to his story, they cost several times the amount.
 The other extreme is the man who dresses we'll, lives we'll, enjoys all the comforts and pleasures of his associates, yet talks poverty continually and expects the entire community to show him consid- eration in consequence.
 Another thing to aviod is the role of the chronically injured person. We all know him.
 He has a continual grievance. He has been cheated, abused, wronoed, insulted, disappointed and deceived. We wonder how or why he has managaed to exist, as we listen to the story of his trou- bles.
 No one ever treats him fairly, either in business or social life. Everybody is ungrateful, unkind and selfish, and he could not be made to believe that the expert ences were of his own making
 All of us meet with occasional blows from fate in the form of in- suits or ingratitude or trickery from an unexpected source.
 But if we get nothing else but those disappointing experiences from life we may rest assured the fault lies somewhere in ourselves.
 In the main we must of necess- ity get from humanity what we give to 1t. If we question our ability to win friends or love, peo- pie will also question it.
 If we doubt our own judgment and discretion in business, others will doubt it, and the shrewd and unprincipled will take the oppor- tunity given by our doubts of ourselves to spring upon us.
 If, in consequence, we distrust every person we meet, we create an unwholesome and unfortunate atmosphere about ouselves, which | will bring to us the unworthy and deceitful. Stand firm in the uni verse. Believe in yourself. Be- lieve in others.
 If you make mistake consider it only an incident.
 If someone wrongs you, cheats, misuses or insults you, says the Philadelphia Bulletin, let 1t pass as one of the lessons you had to learn, but do not amiglne for moment that you are selected by fate for only such lessons. Keep wholesome, hopeful and sympa thetic with the world at large, whatever individuals may do. Expect life to use you better every

The motion to advance was based
on the ground of the public impor-

PEASANTS BEYOND CONTROL
GOVERNMENT FORCES UNABLE
TO SUPPRESS DISORDER
I'm ROUMANiA.

Bucharest, March 26.-That the re-
voting peasants of Roumania are at
least temporarily beyond the control
of the government forces in the field
is amply evidenced by the stories OF
pillaging and incendiarism coming In
from all parts of Moldavia and Wal
iachia
There have been several serious
conflicts between peasants and troops,
notably at Bacess, In the district OF
yaslui, where 1000 peasants armed
with rifles and revolvers attacked a
company of soldiers. The troops fired
several volleys. killing forty peasants
and wounding large numbers, but the
soldiers were so greatly outnumbered
that they finally were Obliged to re
treat
AT the village of Teleorman. In the
Alexandria district of Wallaehia, peas
ants sacked the synagogue and burned
forty houses The rioters also demol-
ished and completely piilaged Zim.
nicea, another village In the Alexan
drja district.
The army reserve men are fraterniz-
Ing with the maraaders and participant
ing in the work of piunder.
Thousands of peasants surround
the little town of Rosiori de Vede, In
the Alexandria district, with the In
tention of looting 1t If a favorable OPP
portunlty arises The troops at Rosi-
ori de Vede are not numerous enough
to hold out indefinitely.
The total number of troops now in
Moldavia is $3.50. but large rein
forceneats are still required.
