into the pros and cons Of the debate
which sprang up as to the best course to
pursue on the following day.
Every one agreed that nothing could
be done that night. If the pillar of
smoke were visible al sunrise. and Walker
could possibly manage to fire the boilers,
Boyle suggested that some sailors in the
jolly boat should sound channel along
which the vessel itself might steam slow
ly toward Guanaco hill. That, in itself,
would be move of considerable value.
If they could lessen the distance be-
tween the shore> and the ship. each yard
thus gained would help the prisoners and
impose stronger barrier against the
Alaculofs, who would probably be
daunted when they found that the YES
sells mobility was restored.
This proposal was deemed so excellent
that they all dined in vastly better spirits
than any of them anticipated. Christie
bal, puzzled out of his scientific senses by
Elsie's change of manner, kept a close
eye on her. He was amazed to see her
eat better meal than she had eaten for
days, and she was normally a quite
healthy young person, with reasonably
good appetite.
Boyle and Gray took the first watch
from 8 o'clock to midnight. Christobal
and Walker shared the next one; by 4
o'clock it would be daylight so the doctor
was retiring early to his cabin when he
met Elsie, by chance as 1t seemed. She

Mrs IIardworkOf all the things I've tried for that wash

best.
Antv Observation-Disclosures indeed If you used cake of
FesNapha and ukewarm water instead of scaldng your
hands and breaking your back the wasntub-youd
have pain. Your washing would be done in less
than half the time.
People call Fels-Naptha a laundry
soap; and so do we-for want of better
term. 1t is more than laundry soap.
Nothing else is just like it; no words
exactly describe it, except Fels-Naptha.
Fels-Naptha does more than any
laundry soap; it does almost as much as
a laundry soap and washing machine
(human or mechanicaD put together.
This is how Fels-Naptha works:
You wet the white clothes, rub the soap
on them, put them in the tub, just cover
them with lukewarm or cool water, and
leave them for thirty minutes In this
half hour, Fels-Naptha completes its
work It atomizes the dirt-that is, it
dissolves the dirt into minute PARTICLES
and loosens it from the fabric. Then a
little rubbing and thorough rinsing
separate the dirt from the clothes and
the wash is ready for the line. -
Insist on getting the soap in the
red and green wrapper.

Leader of the Constituencies.

The leader of the constitutional party,
Prof Paul Milukoff, formerly of the Uni

in getting seat. The government kept
him out of the two previous parliaments
because. it was afraid of him, but Stoly-

place as the leader on the floor. Prof.
Milukoff, however. is not always safe

EAT AND BE MERRY.
Famous Thirteen Club Defies supersti.
ton in a Jolly Session.

Bridgeport, Aug 14--The famous
Thirteen club held its midsummer dim
ner at Weber pavilion at Steeplechase
Island last evening. 1t was the annual
meeting, and Chief Ruler Beecher was
denied the pleasure of announcing
that the old officers had been re-elect-
ed.
The members of the club, who defy
all superstitions, did not seat them
selves at the tables till thirteen min
utes after o'clock. They sat down
to three tables and there were thirteen
at each table Chief Ruler Beecher
presided at the central table.
1t was a merry crowd from the start.
They started singing early and kept
it up till late. 1t was not the solemn
affair that the annual meetings are.
Those present were not obliged to step
under 12rung ladder or sit at a
table where there were thirteen
candles lighted at each table, one be-
fore each ghostly guest.
Among the speakers were Peter II.
Spader, mayor of Mamaronecl1, who
spoke of the trials of a municipal or
ficer; also Thomas M. Macdonald
Abraham Heaton. Charles Fox. George
p. Phillips, Mayor Marigold and John
Zeph.

NEW HAVEN MORNING JOURNAL COURIER THURSDAY AUGUST IS 1907
RAILROADS. PRIVATE mail
LETTERS POUR IN HERE
Company's Postof1ce at the
Depot Handles Thousands
Day and Night.

Railroads have private mail bust
ness, private mail bags In which their
own letters go unstamped, and here in
New Haven at the depot is the all-im-
portant railroad post office which han
dies as many as 5000 letters in a single
night.
Eight to ten thousand letters pouring
into the station every night indicates
the amount of railroad correspondence
necessary for the betterment of public
service, as well as the carrying on Of
regular routine business. Division sup
erintendents receive bags full of mail
every night, and if many of the letters
were not mere reports to be put on file
it's a question how badly the stenogra-
pliers would fare.
To handle this immense amount of
mail four mail clerks are employed
here, working in shifts, so that one
man will be constantly on hand, and
two will be sorting mail during rush
hours. The work of any one of them is
far heavier than any mail clerk on the
road.
The four men now in the service are
Clerks Holmes, J. Hinin, William
Brewer and ]. Wheeler the latter 60
ing on at o'clock in the evening and
working with Brewer until ten, when
he works alone until in the morning
when the day shift comes on.

A FURTHER DIAGNOSIS
CAUSES OF THE DECLINE.
Distrust Of the Government,
Money Stringency, Pope
Failure, Etc.

New York, Aug. l4.--Distrust Of the
governments attitude toward the cor
poratons, a threatened monetary
stringeney in all the leading markets
of the world and the financial embar-
.rassment of the Pope Manufacturing
company combined to demoralize the
stock market to-day Prices melted
in sensational fashion and the average
level of declines was below that reach
ed in the memorable Northern Pacific
panic of May, 1901. Stocks We're sold
lower than ever before in their his
tory. Of the several causes named,
the failure of the New England cor
poration probably excited the greatest
amount of apprehension.
During the early session of the
market to-day there was no hint Of
the coming storm. In fact, it was not
until the failure of the Pope company
became generally known that the list
became unsettled. Then the specula-
tors for a decline, encouraged by their
successful attacks on prices during the
past fortnight, renewed their attacks,
concentrating their forces on the Har-
riman and Hill issues, Reading, st.
Paul, the coppers, American Smelling
and the Steel stocks. Under vigorous
hammering great many orders TO
sell to stop losses were uncovered,
and, as is usual in times of great eX-
element, numerous accounts were
thrown over and sold for what they
would bring.
The downward movement was in
full swing in the last half hour, but
was halted just before the closing.
There were unmistakable signs Of en-
forced liquidation in many stocks, par
ticularly Amalgamated Copper, which
came out in enormous quantities. The
great bulk of the days operations was
in the Hartman stocks, Reading,
Amalgamated Copper and United
States Steel. Amalgamated Copper,
which closed yesterday at IA SIS, went
down to 66 3-S, a new low record for
the year, and closed So IA. New
York Central, which closed at 1O4 IA
last night, fell to 100 IA, its lowest

RAILROAD MAN QUITS.
Assistant Superintendent Joseph III.
Dunn Leaves New Haven Road.

| Assistant Superintendent Joseph Fl.
Dunn has resigned the position on the
Berkshire and Naugatuck division. He
has long been connected with the road
and was regarded as q fixture.
1t was given out by the railroad
company that no successor would be
appointed as the office was to be abol-
ished.
The resignation of Mr.. Dunn Is the
latest of number Of changes among
the minor executives of the Berkshire
and Naugatuck line since c. f. Lake,
Ia southern man, now the head of that
division, took the vacancy caused by
the promotion of j. P. Hopson to the
superintendent of the New York d.
vision The whole office staff, or, that
is, those of them who held positions of
consequence, have made changes in
the past few months. Mr.. Dunn Is the
second of the assistant superintendent
to quit.
Some time ago w, x. Lyon, who
held position similar to that of Mr..
Dunn and who made his headquarters
lat Bridgeport, quit because he refused
to go out on the road and watch the
freight men to Sc whether they were
doing things as they should, Mr.. Lyon
was succeeded by Chief Dispatcher ],
w Carr. About the first of this
month Mr.. Dunn was transferred to
Waterbury, to have his headquarters
there 1t has been reported since Mr..
Dunn went to Waterbury that he
would not remain with the road much
longer. His plans are not known, al
though there is some talk that he will
take a position on the New York d.
vision under his old boss, Mr.. Hopson.

FOR A REVIVAL IN AMERICA.
Northfeld Conference Discusses Plans
A. for One.

lcF Ofle.
East Northf1eld Mass, Aug. 14.-One
of the features at the General Confer
ence for Christian Workers, which Is
now holding very successful twenty
fifth session here is the sub-confer-
ence on pastoral evangelism. North
field wants to see a revival in America
this winter and to that end w, r.
Moody, chairman of the gathering and
oldest son of the evangelist who found
ed it, has been holding a meeting ev-
cry afternoon. The ministers and evan
gelists who are attending the confer
ence have met daily to consider the
best methods for evangelistic effort
and everyone is very optimistic over
the anticipated result AS the ladies
did not enjoy being excluded from
these services, a special meeting was
arranged for them.
The conference is one of the best
ever held. The buildings of Mortified
seminary are full nearly 200 white
tents dot the campus, 200 men are also
leAcamped under the pines, the rustic
cottages and boarding houses are full,
and at the Hotel Mortified, which d.
L. Moody founded for those who wish
ed more of the "unnecessaries," a cot
in the reading room is eagerly sought.
However, everybody is taken care of,
and seems contented, as all wear the
Mortified smile, and still there is room
fol more.
The newest addition to the platform
is Rev. j. Stuart Holden, rector Of ST..
Pauls chapel, London, who is now
lecturing daily. He has proved so pop
u,ar that the chairman has asked him
to remain over the post conference,
which begins on the 10Th. He has con-
sented to do so, and give at least ten
lectures each week until September /.
DR.. ARTHUR T. Pierson, editor of the
Missionary Review of the World, will
also be in Northfeld, and at Mount
Hermon during September.
On Sunday, Professor James Orr of
Glasgow university whose recent
American lectures on the Virgin
Birth" set theologians talking, preach
ed to a packed auditorium. DR.. G..
Campbell Morgan lectures daily on
Romans Charles NJ Alexander. the
gospel singer whose GLORY Song" has
~ono over the whole world, leads a
song, service, and an outdoor sunset
service meeting is held on Round
Top" where D. L. Moody is buried.
Baseball between the different denom-
nations and tennis tournament un-
der Paul D. Moody's management are
the lighter features of the program.

ADRIFT ALL NIGHT.
Meriden Party's Exciting Experience
on the Sound

A rescuing party Of Meriden people,
composed of DR.. Sage and sons, Will
Pike and DR.. Fred Sweet arrived at
an opportune moment for a certain
pair of would-be navigators out on the
Sound yesterday. Toward the end of
the morning the party, which was out
with some few others in DR.. Sweets
beat, sighted small sail boat, the oc-
cupants of which, by their confused
signs and erratic behavior, succeeded
in bringing up the Stannard beach folk.
The craft was small affair and evil
IDENTIFY powerless to cope with the sea
on at the time, which happened to be
quite considerable. The two young
men could hardly cast line to the
ship, so thoroughly was their exhaus-
tion and temptation, but by coming up
close they were presently gotten
aboard.
They said they were from Meriden
and had started in the boat in which
they were picked up from Middle
town. On the way down they narrow
~ missed being sunk by large craft
and had been trying to make land all
night against stiff wind, with no
keel or centerboard to keep them from
heing carried out The party was talk
en- care of and left shortly afterward
doubtless having no desire to write up
such another log for some time.

September is the date set for the
opening of the new Christ church. The
first service will be held then. The
date for the conservation has not vet
been decided upon. The work of in
stalling the new organ is progressing
rapidly, and when this is finished t,ll
will be in readiness. Over the new
building will soon creep some of the
ivy which has adorned Canterbury ca
thedral and Westminster Abbey for
centuries.
Several months ago Vincent Field
wrote to the deans of Westminster Alb
hey and Canterbury cathedral asking
them for slips of the ivy which COW
ers the ancient cathedrals, and his re-
quest was Immediately complied with.
To be sure that none of the plants died
Mr.. Field is keeping them in various
places and nursing them all very care
fully. Only a few of them have died,
and Mr. Field has fifteen good healthy
plants which will be planted against
the new church as soon as the weather
is favorable.
