Disciples of Christ.

NORFOLK, Va, Oct. 1.-THE ma
tional convention of the Disciples OF
Christ, which met in this city today
with an attendance of Delegates rep
resenting all parts of the country
promises to be one of the most impor-
tant gatherings in the history of the
denomination. An unusual number of
questions of great importance are
slated for consideration and action,
Heretofore the national conventions
have consisted for the most part of
the annual meetings of the Disciples
missionary organizations. This year,
however thre is TO be a special con-
vention to consider the invitation of
the Inter-church Conference on feder-
alton, which asks that the Disciples
appoint special delegates to the Fed
eral Council of Churches of Christ in
America, which is TO have its frst
meeting in December next year. An
other important matter to come before
the present meeting is a proposed re-
vision Of the constitution of the Amer
lean Christian Missionary society, for
which committee was appointed a
year ago at the convention in Buff
falo.

WILL CLOSE
SH|NGLE MILLS

BELLINGHAM, Wash, Oct IL
Henry Slime, prominent shingle man
of Seattle, is here endeavoring to get
local shingle manufacturers to close
their mills from November / to March
l. In reference to the single situa-
ton, slime says:
THE present condition of the shingle
the conditions in the East and on the
coast are considered In the East the
yard stock of shingles is not over so
per cent of the normal the storage
and unsold transit cars are below the
usual volume at this time of the year
hard to obtain, with the prospect of a
more restricted supply. During the
last month or six weeks the movement
of shingles has been no heavier than
we usually experience during a car
shortage period which is now being
reflected at Eastern terminals and
storage stations.
yet in the face of these conditions
we find prices verging on the cost of
manufacture. and as low as they have
been at any time since the lifting of
the embargo last spring. One would
naturally suppose that taking the con-
ditions referred to into consideration
and the enforcement of the advanced
freight rates November 1, prices would
be touching the highwater mark of the
year and the trade buying freely

STOP A PANIC
WITH MUSIC
As Old Man Dies in Theatre
Causing Alarm, Music
ianS Quiet Crowd

CHICAGO, Oct ia gray-haired
maker of banjos died in the oIvmpic
theater last night while the music of
Don't You Remember Sweet Alice,
Ben Bolt?" strummed upon the stage
on instruments of his own manufac-
ture Gained the large audience, which
had been thrown into semi-panic.
]. B. Sohall. 55 years old, occupied a
front seat In the lower balcony. He
had visited the theater especially to
hear the playing of two musical spe-
cialists who used banjos which had
been turned out by his own hand.
Suddenly Schall rose in his seat with
choking cry, swayed for a moment as
if he would topple over the balcony rail
into the crowded parquet, and then
crumpled down on the floor.
Instantly intense excitement pre-
vailed. Schall's collapse was witnessed
by three-fourths of the people in the
house. Several women near him
screamed. Ushers and attendants hur-
ried to him and carried him to the
foyer where they laid him on the car
peted floor and attempted to restore
consciousness.
The two players upon the stage had
reached pause in their musical "spe-
cfalties." Looking across the foot
lights, they saw the man collapse, and
realized the danger of panic in the
packed house. At once they plunged
into wild mixture of music to queI1
the audience. Their efforts were sue
cessful While the musicians played
merry airs the audience listened in at
tentive silence, unaware man was
dying behind the last tier of balcony
seats.
Once Schall came to his senses. He
opened his eyes and said, II think I
can go home now" Just then the ban
jos on the stage struck up Don't You
Remember Sweet Alice, Ben Bolt? ?"
AS the last bars of the old tune
ceased and the audience burst into a
tumult of applause, the old musician
died
Schall had lived alone over his banjo
shop. He left two grown sons, who
live in New York.

DEMONSTRATION of the Famous Hornuns
Craftsman Tales.

r Craftsman Tales.
A theatrical event Of unusual i'm
portance viii be the presentation at the
Temple theater October 16, by the
clever young romantic actor, S. Miller
Kent, of "Raff1es, the Amateur Cracks
man." the fascinating and interesting
play which has been the dramatic SEN
sation for the past three seasons in Chis
country and which is at the present
time in the sixth month Of a run at
the Comedy theater, London
The story of the play differs from
the two published volumes of f. w
Hornung's "Raffles" and ''The Amateur
Craftsman" from which 1t was taken
Both books are collections of sketches,
while the play is a connected plot in
which all of the sketches are incor-
porated as an intensely thrilling
drama. A new character has been in
troduced in the person of Captain Bed
ford, the detective. a perfect foil for
Raff1es.
The dramatization is the work of
Eugene Presbrey. a past master of all
the arts of stagecraft, who has follow
ed the method laid down by one of the
best book dramatizers, "read your
book, then throw it away and write
your play AS the burglar, Mr. Kent
has part that fits him as If made to
order.
AS the born criminal who inherited
cerebral affiiction, craving excitement
the conventional environment of Gus
tomary life could not give. with the
yearning to redeem himself and be
worthy of the love of good woman,
the actor has role that calls for the
display of his best talents, and he
meets the requirments with the grace
and skill which has made him one of
the foremost romantic actors on the
stage.

That the members were glad that the

BURToN'S MISTAKE

CONGRESSMAN BURTON'S friends
seem to have plunged him into
~ hot water in the Cleveland may
orally race by attacking Mayor Tom
Johnson's administration record and
selecting the city building department
for wholesale charges of corruption.
The attempt to overthrow the mayor
on this point has proved to be a BOOM
erang. The reactionary effect came
when it was shown that the particular
point attacked was the strongest part
of Toms ramparts. The building de-
partment has been admirably handled
and Burton's friends must have been
i'll advised The candidate who re-
joices in the approval of Roosevelt
failed to make good when called on
to specify or retract. In order to win
Burton will have to overcome john
sons plurality of 1900 at the last
election. This is not likely to occur
and the defeat of Burton will reflect
on the administration. The congress
man is looked on as the tail of the
Taft kite. 1t will be severe slap at
the big secretary and the president
when Cleveland turns Burton down.

command OF the Almighty, till the
thousands OF decent men and women
of that section are shamed and humil-
lated and powerless to help themselves.
So bad and corrupt have things come
to be in Salt Lake that the heroic
gentle or non-Mormon population, IN
anger and despair at the attitude OF
the administration, formed an Amer
ican" party, to include all men and
women who condemn Mormonism, that
some measure of local relief might
be attained, and so they have the
spectacle of men of note who have
been Republicans all their lives banded
with other men of note who have been
Democrats all their lives and have
pooled their political hopes to defeat
the thing called the Republican party
there, but which is really the Mormon
church party. Former Senator Frank
Cannon, born and reared in that So
called church, is it's journalistic Moses,
and in the pending election these people
have a hope of wrestling local govern
ment from the church administration
forces.
There is and can be no justification
for the criminal lives of Joseph Smith
and his lieutenants, for they have
pleaded guilty to the charge OF
polygamy and paid the fines regularly,
and as regularly have mounted the ros-
trum in their tabernacle and in the
faces of thousands of their ignorant
dupes essayed the role of martyrs for
their religion. Women are chattels
with them, under the guise of an al
legged revelation from God, and all that
makes for the power of the American
home and the sanctity of the marriage
tie is trampled under foot and their
monstrous doctrines substituted. The
men of the Republican administration
have had these things plainly proved
to them, but the political control of
the national law-making bodies has
been too much for their political par
tisansh1p to pass and they have sold
the rights of the people of that great
section for congressional power for the
Republican party.
In view of these undeniable facts 1T
would be an undisguised benefit if, like
Germany, we had some power that
could and would follow the German
method and rid the land of a growing
menace to it's highest and holiest rights.

LESSON IN COTTON

TN his address to the Cotton Manu-
facturers' convention in Washing
Il ton last Friday Secretary Straus
of the department of commerce and
labor told his hearers, and incidentally
the country, some home truths about
the tariff in it's relation to our foreign
trade. He declared that if we build
our tariff walls too high we shall en-
courage equally high ones across the
duties, and that we are striking just
such walls now. Continuing Mr.. Straus
said: mo one foresaw this more clearly
than President Mckinley, and no one
has shown the way more clearly how
to overcome the existing and increas-
ing obstacles that lie in the path of
our foreign commerce. He recommend
ed reciprocity and a revised tariff to
meet the changed and changing con-
ditions in order to gain our proper
share of the foreign markets"
OF course he did, and while he lived
he whistled against the wind of trust
greediness and political stupidity. In
his time the public awakening had not
come to drive Republican leaders into
the pen of tariff revision. They are
baking and bucking fiercely. but they
will land in the corral all the same
They cannot get away from the logic
of facts. One of the facts stated by
Mr.. Straus was the falling off of our
cotton goods export to China, which
amounted to loss of $20,000,0 900 in
value compared with 1905. England
and Germany doubtless reaped the ben
eft of this change. One of them has
free trade and the other a scientific,
elastic conventional tariff which pre-
serves the principle of adequate pro-
lection to home industry, and yet is sc
readily adjustable to the requirements
of commerce with any given nation
that it amounts to as useful a trading
tool as any to be found in the British
box
That is the kind of tariff system
this country will be forced to adop
if our foreign trade is to be prevented
from Joining our late merchant marine
at the bottom of the middle kettle o
commercial Hades!

COTTON PROSPERITY

~ ONE 1900 hands compress, haul
and stow the cotton crop Of the
~ south at New Orleans, where 20
per cent of the output is shipped, and
these men have struck for higher
wage. The leading papers of the south
all sing the same glad song of 14-cent
cotton and say their section can bid
defiance to the whole world so long as
cotton remains at that high point. The
foreign demand as we'll as that for
home consumption is very heavy, and
all parties but the men who do the
real hard work are satisfied.
If living prices, including rents, are
at similar figures obtaining in Los An
geles these men have a. just cause for
their demand, and what is more i'm
portant, the cotton factors have no
earthly cause to deny the demand.
The "Suwanee River" and the Sunny
South are excellent as sentimental
generators, but poor as collateral for
bread, butter, potatoes or rent.
Los Angeles herald., 1907-10-06
HOME INTERESTS

NHE crux of the troublesome immi-
grafton question from the Repub-
Il lican standpoint, like that from
the imperial standpoint of Great Brit
ain, is, as Secretary Straus puts it:
sThe yellow races are steadily increas
ing customers of your goods, and as
they advance and prosper, provided we
keep their good will, they will buy
more and more of your products"
The good will of China, Japan, Korea,
Formosa and India are held to be
superior to the good will of the men
whose labor makes this land all it is,
and foreign markets are more earnestly
to be sought than peace and content
ment at home.
What good is 14-cent cotton to the
men who do the work if they must
be forced to strike to get living wages? :?
This is the sort of thing that forces
the tariff and exclusion questions to
the front and also forces the working
men to choose between the party in
power that makes such class issue
and the Democratic party which stands
for home interests first. last and al
ways.
