more influence on general peace than

Christians devote their time TO saw.
ing an Individual soul and not, as the
prophets of Israel, to saving the soul
of humanity. You seem to think that
II you approach the Almighty with
the knee bent occasionally and sing
your little hymns and pray your little
prayers that he is pleased with that
thing. Put yourself in the Almighty's
place. Would you care TO have some
fellow always telling you how much
he thought of you while there was
real work he could do for his brother
in the meantime? Are we going to
continue mocking God with our lips,
while we continue to do nothing with
our hands?" The speaker urged upon
the people who are to take part in the
deliberations OF the peace congress
that they avoid distractions and ideal,
isms and get down TO ha:d business
foundation for a working basis.
II don't know what the coming con.
gress Is going to do" he said. "As
a rule most congresses and conven.
tions talk lot OF flapdoodle and pass

end Of II. We cannot talk OF building
battleship when we haven't money
enough TO build n herring boat. We
cannot hope to bridge the Atlantic
when there Is not available means for
bridging ditch. We cannot revolu.
tionize the world in a day, nor by ad.
vancing theories and dogmas. The
peace conference must do something
practical, or II had better not meet at
ALL"
one OF the practical things needed,
the speaker pointed out was for the
nations 10 get better acquainted with
one another. He thought that the
congress should urge on The Hague
the practicability OF an interchange
of visits between governmental ON.
GERS of the various nations.

had actually to pass the hat"

PUMP TEST
Was Completed Saturday Night, But
Figures Are Not Given Out.
Cost Over $4,000.

The final test Of the new water
works pump was completed late Sat
urday night and while the exact fig
ures have not yet been tabulated
showing the exact capacity OF the
pump II is generally conceded that
It tested up to the required speciica-
tions. The test as made by Expert
Schultz for the city, and Il. e. Mil
Ter. OF the William Tod comply,
with almost 20 assistants, was thor
ough and the officials who witnessed
It expressed themselves as well sat
isfled with the methods used.
The pump cost the city over $4,000
and the mayor, water works superin-
tendent and members of the board OF
public service insisted that the pump
must test up to the required specihca-
tions in every particular before they
will consider its acceptance. Even
after the. figures are compiled, and
in case satisfactory result is shown,
the formal acceptance will be delayed
until several minor changes are
made

GREAT REPERTOIRE

What proved TO be one Of the most
remarkable weeks ever done by n rep
ertoire organization in Canton ter
minated at the Grand Opera House
Saturday evening when The Ameri-
cans presented TO the largest house
OF the week what Is termed by the
management their pistol opera en-
titled THE Mysteries OF New York. y
While of an entirely different grade
from the high class plays of the
week, the drama was no less pleasing
to the large audience, which cheered
Miss Boyer, who assumed the part
OF boy for the first time; Mr., War
burton in the role of an Irish police
man and Mr.. Alexander as the perse-
cuted hero. Miss Fitch was also eX-
cellently cast and Miss Ransom did
the best work Of the week in a char
acter part.

A ROW Of PINS
HAS AS MUCH INFLU-
ENCE FOR PEACE
As Has The Church of God,
Said Speaker.
Tried to Point Out Where
righteousness Fails.
Advises More of
Isaiah.

New York, April 14.--Wm. r. Stead,
one of the representatives from Great
Britain to the national arbitration and
peace congress which was formally
opened tonight, prefaced an addrss-
he delivered at a preliminary after
noon meeting at the Broadway tab.
ernacle with prayer and In the
course OF his speech declared that the
caurch OF God has no more influence
for universal peace than a row OF pins.
"oh, Lord" prayed Mr.. Stead, look
down upon these people and lead their
hearts into thy paths. But particular
ly grant me thy blessing that what |
may say this afternoon may have
weight and that may do what within
me lies to prepare the minds OF these
people for the work that is to be done
this week In the peace congress"
After Mr., Stead had concluded his
prayer-a clergyman and rabbi had
previously spoken without invocation
--he began his address by saying that
he was not soing to say a word against
war or warriors but that he hoped Ia
point out just wherein certain forces,
for righteousness in our modern life
fail OF achieving practical ends.
Il want TO point out one organiZa-
tion of war that is superior TO the or
ganization OF the church." said the
British delegate "If we Christians
had to undergo the discipline of mill
tary service in the practice of our re-
lgion think we would be taken out
and shot II there were a religious
oourtmartial like there is military
eourtmartlal We would stand no
chance, You know you can fool, or
you think you can fool. God Almighty,
but you can't fool courtmartial. i
wish TO express to the last speaker,
Rabbi Silverman, my appreciation of
the prophets OF his race who looked
not to the soul of the individual but
who tried to save the soul Of mankind
If you New Workers. would read less
OF the Thaw trial and more of Isaiah
you would be ready to do more prac-
tical things"

chanics from the company have been
here almost constantly getting It in

first by the makers and then by tho
servers, who wanted to be certain that

CaRh or Credit

Women should not get credit. Nei-
ther should men. Cash is the cure.

trade and our money, and she would

National Idiosyncrasies


 It is interesting to note the various methods in which men of different na. tionalities carry their worldly wealth
 The Englishman and the American carry their gold, silver, copper and pa per money all loose in their trousers pocket, pull ont handful in an opu- lent way, and select the piece they need
 The American, when he does carry q poeketbook, places his "wad of bills = in long, narrow affair( sometimes called wallet, in which the greenbacks Ii ehat.
 The Frenchman makes use of leath CT purse with no distinguishable char acteristics. The German uses one gaily embroidered in silks by the fair hands of some Lottchen.
 The capitalist from some torrid South American port carries his dollars in n belt with cunningly devised pockets to baffie the gentlemen of the light fin gered class. Some of these belts are very expensive.
 The Italian of the poorer class ties up his little fortune in gaily colored handkerchief, secured with many knots, which he secretes in some mysterious fashion about his clothes.
 A similar course has charms for the Spaniard, while the lower class Russian exhibits preference for his boots or the lining of his clothes as hiding place for his savings.
 Many American men deem the carry ing of pocketbook to indicate a par simonious nature on the part of the owner. "A good fellow,' it has been said, always carries his money in bis pocket.
