WALL STREET TO
HEAR A PREACHER
Lord Bishop of London Will
Speak on Streets.

NEW YORK, Sept %. (SpeciaD-
1t will be an odd experience for Wall
street when it temporarily lays aside
pursuit of the almighty dollar to at
tend religious services. Yet that is
what Wall street plans to do on the
fifth of next October.
The Rev. A. F. Winnington-Ingra
lord bishop of London, will be in
New York on that day, and will con-
duct services on the steps of the
subtreasury.
All the business will be suspended
and the bulls, the bears, and the
lambs will crowd the narrow street,
and, with barred heads, will hear the
distinguished divine.
Those who lack reverence for Wall
street say it is fitting that the bishop
of London should preach to it's deni-
zens. Before he was anointed as
lord bishop he was known as the
"slum bishop" and he won fame by
his work among the degraded poor
of London.
AS lord bishop of London he gets a
salary of fifty thousand dollars q
year.

General Stephen d. Lee, national
commander of the United Confederate
Veterans, was born Sept. %, 1888, at
Charleston, S. G. His career from the
time he graduated at West Point in

Ruger, and Gen. "Jeb" Stuart. Gen.
Lee entered the army in the 18th ar
tillery in South Carolina, and served
in the Confederate army as captain,
major, lieutenant colonel, brigadier
general, major general and lieuten-
ant general He participated in the
battles around Richmond in 1862, and
in the second Bull Run, Sharpsburg
and Vicksburg campaign He COM
manded the Confederates at Chicka-
saw Bayou when Sherman was de-
feated, and in the battles of Tupelo,
Atlanta, Jonesboro, Nashville, etc.
After the war he became a planter in
Mississippi and later took some part
in politics as a member of the state
senate and of the Mississippi Consti-
tutional convention. Gen. Lee was
not related to the late Gen Robert E.
Lee.

About the Slate Road

HigRinsville Advance.
Gurus Hin, state highway engineer,
arrived IN the city last Saturday
afternoon and remained until Sunday
uornine. Mr.. Hiu was on a our Of
inspection seeking the most favorable
route for the proposed road from St.
Louis to Kansas City, Three routes
are to be considered, one north OF The
Mis- ouri, aud two south, oBe tui ough
the counties along the river aud
another through the second tier o,
counties from the river. MIR. Hin
stated that the rou e selected would
depend largely upon where the ma.
terial was cheapest and the soil most
adapted 70 such a roadbed, also the
counties most thicklY settled. Nj
Hill was met at the Law office Of e..
A. Keith by a number Of the business
men Of Higglnsville and explained
the condition OF the road, ana gave
such information as was sought. he
stated that should the norh or cen.
trail route be chosen the Missouri river
would have to be bridged at Arrow
Rock, and in all probability the
bridge at St. Charles used which
would not require a second new bridge
to gtt into St. Louis. II the soulh-
ern route is chosen the Gasconade and
Usage rivers will have to be brIdged
and Mr.. Hill stated that these two
bridges would equal the cost Of the
Missouri river bridge, so from the
bridge standpoint neither route
would be favored allowed the other
The sentiment OF the business men
Of Higginsville is strongly in favor Of
the road and Mr.. Hill was informed
by MIR. Land president Of the Com
mercislGClUb thai Higginsvllle and
Lafayette county could be relied upon
TO meet any Of the requirements nee
essary to secure the road.

ENTERTAINING in an Insane Asylum.

Entertaining in an Insane Asylum.
Did you ever entertain an audience
at an insane asylum? Those who have
usually are able to tell experiences
quite out OF the ordinary. The Litch-
Geld trio have had several amusing
experiences at such places, In n
case Mr.. Litchfeld spoke to a patient
At the asylum-"nice day; rather
muddy underfoot, but nice overhead"
Yes" answered the patient, but
nobody gets up there" In the course
Of the entertainment Mrs. Litchheld
gives on the violin an imitation of the
church organ. That 1t was well done
was evident, for as she finished there
came through the stiffness in clear,
ministerial tones the voice Of an in

Origin Of Peculiar Name.
The curious name Of the anestheic
"stovaine" is due to its %discoverer. M.
Fourneau. NJ. Fourneau was anxious
10 perpetuate his own name in con-
nection with it, but as the anesthetic
was Of the nature of cocaine and no
compound resembling that could be
contrived out Of "Fourneau," he trans

Housewives Walk.
A woman who once wore q pedo-
meter to find out how much walking

have walked in n year in doing her
housework more than $500 miles.
