bership is almost hereditary, new recruits
for the faith being rarely drawn from

churches give their services free, and on
account of being unpaid volunteers they

clergymen of the. other branches. In
preaching it is the custom to adopt a
sing-song voice. ending each sentence with
an indrawR breath that becomes "ah''

Il is in the Primitive denomination

and is observed with the greatest
solemnity. There is a church in southwest
Missouri where. on the first Sunday of
each May. a service is attended by mem
bers, who drive in wagons from distances
greater than hundred miles On these
occasions the minister reads the chapter
from the Bible telling of the Lords Sup

the room. the women on the other and

lead all other denominations in educational
enterprises. Their Northern mission So
cieties are now engaged In raising 10000
FOR the endowment of schools in foreign
fields. The first Baptist missionary from
America was Adoniram Judson. who went
to Bnrmah. He was sent out by the Con-
gregationalists Of New England, but while
reading the Bible on shipboard was con-
verted 10 believe in immersion. Before
reaching his destination he wrote his res
ignation to the church that had sent him.
The Baptists then adopted him, and he
spent many faithful years in their service.
Another far Eastern missionary who has
won international fame for the Baptists
is John Z. Clough, who hailed from In
diana. This extraordinary man is known
as the Apostle to the Telugus." When
he arrived upon the scene of his labors
he found It difficult to seriously impress
the natives, but finally in a year Of
famine he appealed to the local govern
ment for funds to be used in public works
Clough had been an engineer. and he put
his knowledge TO good use in directing the
construction of irrigation canals. This
practical idea Of giving the people work
not only won them over to his cause, but
appealed to the government as well. He Is
still alive, and is the heart and center Of
a Baptist community numbering between
5eoo0 ard $4,000 persons. Among the in
stituuons which he controls are a number
Of preparatory schools and a theological
college.
At the present time there are nearly
$500 coo members included in the thirteen
branches Of the Baptist church in the
United States. The Southern Theological
Seminary. at Louisville, which belongs 90
this denomination. has more students
than any other theological seminary in
the world. not excepting any of those in
Rome. The records of the old First Bap-
list Church. in New York. show that
George Washington was immersed there.
although he became a communicate OF
the Episcopal Church. Gov. Hughes, the
newly-eIected executive of New York. is
a son of a Baptist minister, and Baptist

also the son Of q Baptist minister. Gov.

A matter of great pride to the Bapusts
is the influence that the simple democratic
tenets of their faith is believed to have
had upon the Constitution OF the United
States. Thomas Jefferson went often 70
the little Baptist Westinghouse near Month
cello, and it IS said became deeply inter-
ested in the services there. Dolly Madi-
son is quoted as having heard Jefferson
assert that he considered the Baptist
method Of church government TO be the
most exemplary form Of true democracy
in existence, and many of his ideas after
ward embodied in the Constitution were
derive6 from that source.

AS to the alleged scandalous mat
ters Judge Mccall says: "It cannot
be said that they are irrelevant, re-
dundant and scandalous, and, so far
as the motion bears upon them it is
denied"
Those allegations which Mr.. Gould
was especially anxious to have strick-
en- out were:
For more than two years prior to
the commencement of this action
the defendant caused the plaintiff
to be constantly surrounded in the
plaintiffs home, and wherever she
sojourned, by spies and detectives
whose surveillance of the plaintiff
was a ha%rrassing annoyance, a wan
ton and open insult and humiliation
to the plaintiff, and was SO malicious
ly calculated and intended by de-
|fendant."
That in the years 1904. 1906,
1906, and down to the beginning of
the action Mr. Gould has been con-
Quoting himself as to openly and no
|toriously humtliate and bring shame
and contumely upon the plaintiff"

It now turns out that the fortune
|of $25, 900 that was left George A.
Hay Of Central City, was one of the
neatest swindles ever perpetrated on
a Black Fills man. He received
o communication from a firm in Mad
rid, Spain, which stated that a rel
alive Of his by the name of Hay was
dying In a hospital In that city. He
had a large amount Of money In a
bank in London and some signed
checks in his luggage wAich had been
seized by the Spanish officers. The
first Letter was written at the request
OF the chaplain OF the prison hospi-
tai, so the graft letter stated. The
first letter was followed by another
which brought the information to
Hay that the relative had died and
that the luggage was still being held.
The relative had q daughter and It
was the request that she be brought
over to America and educated. It

China to Lead Other Nations.
China is the nation Of the future,
according to Professor Frederick
Starr of the University of Chicago.
The Midway anthropologist advised
his students of the greatness Of the
celestials yesterday in a lecture on
ethnology. The United States will be
a loser in the race Of nations he pre-
dicted.
Professor Starr declared tina Rus
STA will be the representative white
nation for the next fifty years, and
that Germany will be the most i'm
lportant commercially. England and
America were given little chance for
premier honors by the professor.
The future of the world lies be
tween Russia and China he said.
Most people are profoundly mistaken
In regard to this nations position.
The greatest white nation will not
be England or the United States,
Germany, Spain or Italy. It will be
Russia.
