ism. Some of the most effective evan
gelists in the field decline even to tell
their audiences what church they are
formally afiliated with. In most cases
this is known, but doctrinal prejudices
and preferences are being kept in the
background as never before.
This elimination of sectarianism in
the evangelical movement may be
either cause or effect-even the evan
gelists differ on this point. Some say
that the movement is unprecedentedly
strong because those lines are being
ignored. while others protest that they
are being ignored because the gen
eral revival spirit is 30 strong.

New England In a Fever.
The present revival spirit in this
country appeared in its most distinct
form soon after the wonderful sue
cesses of Torrey and Alexander in
England New England, cold tempera-
mentally and rock-bound religiously,
cast of its traditional reserve and
laid itself open to the influences of the
''old-time" religion. In Boston the
evangelistic work under Rev. A. c..

precidented number of conversions

business It is to keep track of the
converts, each church doing this work

working in this city estimate the num-

sides these, many "backsliders" have
been reclaimed and much interest has

Enthusiasm in England.
In England in the Established
church the religious enthusiasm with
in the last year has been unprecedent-
ed, and evangelical work of wide
scope is being carried on in much the
same manner as the revival work is
being done in the United States.
From the headquarters of the Sal

that remarkable organization and of
an unusually large number of saved"
The work of the army, however, fol

Chicago.-The greatest religious re-

Throughout the United States the

In the central part of the United
States, with Chicago as the focal
point, the series of "old-time" relig.

verts have been the most notable in
the history of the country since 1857.
In that year occurred a religious
movement that has become historic

Cowboys Heroic Act.

Grand Junction, Colo.-Riding like
the wind and whirling his lariat in
whistling circles as he rode, Edward
Bowman, a well-known cattle man, las
seed a runaway horse and jerked 1t
into submission on the Fruita road,
saving the lives of Mrs. w. A. Hard
ing, wife of prominent fruit-grower,
and little child who were occupants
of the buggy. Mrs. Harding and her
boy were driving when the horse took
fright at an automobile and, getting
beyond control of the woman, went
tearing at breakneck speed for nearly
a mile. Bowman, who was driving
along the road, heard the screams of
the woman and the rataplan of the
hoofs on the hard roadway and at once
spurred his horse into dead run.
When he came in sight of the frantic
animal dashing madly down the thor
oughfare his blood ran cold, for 1t
seemed as if any moment might see
the two helpless occupants of the
buggy thrown to death Inaction lasted
but fraction of second and he urged
his animal to its topmost speed, un-
winding his lariat at the same time
and was soon within roping distance
of the runaway. Carefully measuring
the distance, he whirled the lasso and
quickly it settled about the neck of
the runaway. Bowman's horse at once
braced for the shock and soon the run
away team was brought to a standstin,
choking and gurgling under the girth
rope. Mrs. Harding was almost on the
verge of collapse from her experience,
but quickly recovered vile she real
lied that not only herself but her lit
tie son were safe. Bowman modestly
disclaimed any credit for his act, say
ing that it was noc any more than any
che else would have done.

Denver a Great Wool Center.

Denver.-Dallas j. Osborne and
other Denver wool men are working
to make Denver the largest wool cen
ter west of Boston. The Denver Wool
Securing mills started here in 1904
with hardly any business at all, and
have worked up until this year they
will scour over 100000 pounds of
wool. This shows what can be done.
The present capacity of the mill is g.
100000 pounds Tear. These mills
are the best west of Boston, equipped
with the latest and most improved ma
chinery.
Denver as a wool center, both for
the benefit of the buyer and the
grower, is the plan. Warehouses will
be built to store millions of pounds of
wool shipped to these warehouses. At
stated periods large auction sales at
tended by all the big buyers of wool
will be held. Thus the buyers will be
saved the trouble and expense of trav-
cling through the country districts
buying the wool in little dabs. From
the growers standpoint 1t has even
more advantages. The producer can
ship wool to the warehouses and there
hold it until he gets a favorable mar
ket. While Ahere it can be insured and
protected from the sun and rain. The
cost OIL storage and commission VIII be
small. There Is no better security
than wool and the grower can there
fore borrow money from the local
banks on the wool thus stored.
The making of wool center here
Will bring more securing mills and per-
haps wooden factories. This being the
natural center of the wool-producing
district will bring the large wooden
mills here. Next year the first auction
sale. most likely In the month of July,
Is expected.

This company is subsidized by the

have been coming into Mexico at the

In case of war the plan is for the

Perhaps the largest and most valua
BILE of literary treasures the world has
lost was the Alexandrian library. This
collection, the most remarkable of the
ancient world, is said to have con-
talned in its most flourishing period
400. 1000 or. according to others, 7000 900
manuscripts. Its royal founder col
iected from all nations their choicest
composition. We are told that one of
his successors went SO far as to re-
fuse to supply the Athenians with
wheat until they had given him the
original manuscripts of Aeschylus,
Sophocles and Euripides. When Julius
Caesar laid siege to the city the
greater portion of this library was
destroyed by fire. It was later re-
placed by the collection presented to
Queen Cleopatra by Marc Antony.
But it was not destined to endure
long. When the Emperor Theodosius
the Great in 391 A. ID. ordered the
destruction of all heather temples
within the Roman empire, the Chris
tians, led by the archbishop Theophil-
us. did not spare that of Jupiter, in
which were kept the literary treas
ures. From this general destruction
about 1000 manuscripts escaped, only
to be burned in $40 by Saracens under
the Caliph Omar.

Cuts wife's Throat and FIee..

Las Animas, Colo.-After playing 8
leading part in a notable shooting af-
fray here in 1877, in which one man
was killed and six wounded, Mrs. Sa-
bina Cordova is dying at her home
from knife wounds in the throat in
fiicted by her husband Sabina Cor
dova, in a drunken frenzy. The wo-
mans throat is cut from ear to ear
and her windpipe severed. The man
fed after the cutting and the woman,
with blood pouring from her wounds,
walked two blocks to physicians of
fee and had them dressed, and then
returned home. Little hope is held out
for her recovery as she is over sixty
years old
The affray in the early days was
precipitated by the long black hair
of which the then Senorita Sandoval
was vxery proud. AS the reigning
belle among the Mexican's she at
tended a ball in Las Animas. A num-
ber of gamblers and cowboys, headed
by one "Antepole Jack" a notorious
character, entered the hall to break up
the dance. To precipitate hostilities,
the unchivalrous "Antepole Jack"
caught the Senorita Sandoval by her
long black hair and ,jerked her to the
floor. At this a swathy suitor of the
girl stabbed her assailant in the neck
and promiscuous shooting began.
When the smoke cleared away ANTE
lope jack was found dead on the floor
with six wounded members of his gang
grouped about him.
The affray resulted in general
cleaning up by the vigilance committee
and gambling was stopped for num-
ber of years.
