not single word of Hebrew was used

in the Greek, not more than four or
five words of this language were used.
they being used by the negative speak
ers, so repeatedly and continuously that
to the uninitiated, it possibly conveyed
the idea that the Greek language was

words consisted of such as els, bapto,

words may have given a great deal of
comfort to Greek ond Hebrew students,
but, unless with the exception of Prof.
McDairmod, Of Bethany College, Mod

sessions of the debate.
We are quite satisfied that the com
mon people" have already had to much
Greek and Hebrew; particularly in re-
ligious matters, and that what they
most need and want is plain, simple
English.
One truth we heartily recognize and
Ioar+i1,r sfnI.,n
ver's' article, is: Individual opinion
is right we all possess, yet the very
recognition and possession of this right
does not give US the right to force
Others, by bluff er otherwise, to &C
cept our views.
The official board of the Church of
Christ, Friendsville, has no desire to
force upon the public any individual
views, but are willing and quite prefer
to let them judge for themselves. Their
one desire is to see that absolute truth
prevails in relation to the matter and
that the people be given the opportuni-
ty to judge it strictly upon its merits.
The debate will appear in printed form,
in due time, when those of independent
mind and thought will have full oppor-
tunity to weigh the matter, each decid-
ing for himself, upon the evidence pro-
duced.
The PRAYER of these officials is: That
the book be widely disseminated, that
it be carefully read and compared with
the word of God, and that, thereby,
many may have their feet securely
planted upon the rock Christ Jesus"

none and feeling no more shocks, we

FOURTH CELEBRATIONS
HAVE COST 81 LIVES
Over Two Thousand Persons Injured
New York Hospitals Crowded.

Chicago, July 5.-The Tribune today
says 81 men, women and children are
dead and 2,153 are manned, lacerated
or burned as a result of yesterdays eX-
cess Of patriotism in the United States
The number of the dead does not include
five drowned during the day The ros-
ter of the dead is four more than last
years mortality. A year ago SO per-
sons were dead on the morning after the
Fourth, not including five drowned.
Unfortunately, the deaths will increase
Gay by day, and even the late days of
August will witness additions to it.
Tetanus claims its victims by scores,
and even by hundreds, for weeks after
the Fourth.
New York leads all the cities of the
United States in the number of killed
and injured. Ten persons are dead in
that city, while six more are so serious
ly hurt that it is expected they will die
within few hours. At the New York
hospitals 423 injured persons were treat
ed. No record was made of the dispen-
sary cases cared for
There were 116 fires in Greater New
York during the day. These figures
break all Fourth of July records for the
big metropolis
Pittsburg ran New York close sec
ond in the grim races. nine persons
yielding up their lives on the altar of
frenzied patriotism. Chicago, although
the second city of the country, added
only two dead to the nations total.
Springfield, ILL.,, supplied three victims,
Chatham, H., two and Aberdeen, S. D.,
two.
The total number of injured, 2,153, is
under last years figures, which were
2,789.
The figures show that this year, as
last, the most of the casualties were due
to carelessness in handling firecrackers
and other forms of harmless explo-
sives."
The crusade against the deadly toy
pistol seems to be bearing fruit, as this
year only 205 victims are reported, as
against 304 last year.
The direct causes of the fatalities are
as follows:
By fireworks, II; by cannon, 4; by
firearms, 9; by gunpowder, 3; by top
pistols, l. by runaways, 3.

years Of experience before an assistant
can become a mixer.
The combination used in the cheapest
pillows is hen and turkey feathers Duck
and turkey combination is used in a lit
tie better grade of pillows, and the best
combination of all is duck and goose
feathers. The most expensive filling is
made of downy feathers from geese.
These combinations have different prices
and the mixer must know these prices
and, when he can, experiment with the
various kinds of feathers to try and get
a cheeper combination that will last as
long as the dearer kind.

Gas For Westernport.

The Western Maryland Gas Company
and the people of Westernport have
made compromise by which gas will
be put into Westernport at once. The
work of laying the mains will begin i'm
mediately. Last fall. when the gas
company got to Westernport, the citi.
zens voted that the gas company should
pay $4,000 for the franchise, but the
company refused to pay anything what,
ever. The residents have seen since
that they were out both the gas and the
$4,000, and so now have made arrange.
ments whereby they will get at least the
gas if not the money.

No Corn but Buckwheat.7

The spring season being so backward,
it being so wet and cold, the corn which
the farmers of this section had planted
did not come up with any sort of success.
The blades were exceedingly sickly and
pale, and in places moreover, it did not
come up at all. AS it is too late to re-
plant, the farmersl in many places are
disregarding the corn and are sowing
buckwheat on the same ground.

Waterline. Mrs. Vanderbilt took the matter
coolly. and was not in the least frightened, and
very calmly ordered Captain Knutson to return
TO Newport. The absence OF any wind or sea
