John r. Mott, of New York, secretary
of educational work of the international
Young Mems Christian Association, adj
dressed an audience which filled the church
last night. He said in part:
1.-THE Christians of North America can
do more in the way of missionary work
in the next five years than they can in
the following fifteen IL nothing is done In
the next five years. TIL church should
wall itself of the opportunities in the
mission fields in that time and a rich
harvest for God will be reaped. The
Christians of North America are charged
with the duty of carrying the Gospel to
Latin America. There is no church III
Europe which will do so. The English
church will look after the members OF
that denomination and the German Luther
an Church will perform a similar duty
toward those of that faith, but there is no
church in Europe that will look after the
Millions of residents in Latin America. 1t
is a duty which confronts the Christians
of this continent"

UNION in THIS FUSS
UNION CO. CENTRAL GETS
NUT TO CRACK.
It's About Elizabeth Buffers and Polish
ers' Dance-Music and Label
Dispute.
[specIal to the Evenlng star.l

ELIZABETH, Nov. 1S.-Buffers and
Polishers' Union, No. 9, of this city,
has planned to hold a ball on Thanks
giving eve, and, of course, like a good
union organization, hired a union band,
and requested that all of the musicians
instruments have the buffers II poll
ishers' label on them.
When the musicians heard of the re-
quest about labels they Immediately
decided to ask the Buffers and
Polishers' Union to place their label
on their instruments. The Buffers and
Polishers' Union replied that the could
not do it unless they were assured
that the instruments were made by
union men. That the musicians could
not tell, as they sale there was Moth
ing on their instruments to show that,
or when they were made, as the ma
jority of them were heirlooms, but at
that good Instruments.
The buffers and polishers insisted
then that the musicians buy new in
struments that were made by union
men. That rolled the musicians, who
said that they would do nothing of the
kind. Then the musicians were in
formed that they could not play at the
ball.
"Well, If we do not play you will not
get any other union musicians" said
the musicians, las no other union
musicians will play for you"
The Buffers and Polishers' Union did
not think that was SO until the MEM
bers instituted inquiries and found it
was so. Then they tried to organize a
"bazoo'' band among their own MEM
bers, but found to their disappoint-
ment that none of their members cared
for the exertion. The same excuse was
offered when they called for volunteers
for jewsharp players.
Finally, in despair, they succeeded in
getting twelve members to sing dane
ing music, but the discord was SO awful
that the committee on the ball jumped
out of the windows of the room, tits
said.
Then another crowd of the members
was tried at whistling popular airs, but
1t was found that they got dry so often
that 1t would be too expensive provid-
ing refreshments for the whistlers.
The Buffers and Polishers' Union
then referred its troubles to the Union
County Central Labor Union. That
body has appointed a committee to in
vestigate the trouble. and the commits
tee will report tomorrow night.

PANAMA PICTURES
LECTURE IN EDUCATION
BOARD SERIES.
Views That Are Shown Give Newarkers
Clear idea of the Gigantic
Undertaking.

Up in the large sky floor hall in
which the art loan exhibitions were
given in the Public Library building a
big crowd of men and women gathered
last night at a lecture on 1.-THE Great
Panama Canal" illustrated by stere-
opticon views. Charles Mason Fuller
was the talker; the pictures flashed
on the screen made a hit. The scenes
of outdoor and indoor life in Mexico
and some of the Central American
countries were better than the pictures
of the work along the anam canal,
for there was little in h latter that
was new, n better views have been
printed in the magazines and illus
trated weeklies.
The talker wriggled out a couple Of
old jokes thai caused some girlish tit
ter, but he gave, however, interesting
data about the big ditch that is to
cost the American people SO many tens
of millions of dollars. Several maps
of the South American region were
thrown on the screen and reference
made to the several prior schemes for
connecting the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans by a canal. A few words were
said bout the plan of Engineer Eads
to carry ships across the land by rail,
and the old Nicaragua canal project
was given a passing notice.
1t was stated that the Panama Canal
is nearly two-thirds cut through, but
that a great deal is to be done on the
Culebra cut. The views of the jetties
at Colon, at the Atlantic Ocean end,
and the jetties at the Pacific Ocean
outlet of the canal were good, as were
those of steamers on the flooded parts
of the canal, and the pictures of the
rows of abandoned locomotives and
dredges used by the French, who spent
millions on the canal and did a great
deal of work.
Portraits of De Lesseps, the French
engineer who designed the canal. and of
several American engineers, were APP
plauded, and a picture of President
Roosevelt was flashed on the screen
as a finale of the lecture, after which
the darkened room was flooded by cleo
trio light and the audience dispersed
The lecture was the sixth in the Board
of Education series Of free lectures.

SOUTHERN
DEMOCRATIC
CANDIDATE
Tennesseeans in Convention
Think Their Section Should
Have Nomination.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. ia
State convention of Democrats lhere
has inaugurated a movement for the
nomination of a Southern man as the
Democratic candidate for the Presi-
dency In 1908. Each delegate was in
structed to work in the interest of
sending a delegation from Tennessee
to the national convention that would
vote, first, last and all the time for a
Southern man, and an address to the
Democracy of the nation was issued.
Only one name, that of former Gov
ernor James d. Porter, was mentioned
in connection with the nomination. This
wa greeted with enthusiasm, but Mr..
Porter, who acted as chairman, refused
to countenance a discussion along such
lines. Woodrow Wilson, president of
Princeton University, was invited to
address the convention, but declined,
Governor Patterson was a speaker and
expressed hearty sympathy with the
movement.
The address authorized by the con-
vention declares that the Democratic
party was born in the South, but that
subject Is approached in no sectional
spirit. 1t asserts that conditions that
made available candidates from the
East no longer obtain, and that reeog-
milton of a Southern man would EN-
phasize the unity of the nation. The
fidelity with which the South has adj
hered to the Democratic cause is
pointed to. and the assertion made thai
1.-THE Democracy of the South Is en-
tirely free from the domination of cor
porate interests and predatory wealth"
1t makes the claim that I'm leader
ship, In war, craftsmanship and litera-
ture. the South is not behind other
sections, and at this particular time we
men equal to any the East has
produced"

TOOK TICKETS AND MONEY.
Pilferer Entered Hullett Home in Cecil
Apartment House.

Some one entered the rooms OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Gaylord De Forest II. Hullett, in
the Cecil apartment house, Belleville and
Third avenues, some time between 3 and
4 O'Clock yesterday afternoon and stole a
pocketbook belonging to Miss Bessie Nor
row, a sister Of Mrs. Hullett. The purse
contained 81 and several railroad tickets.
The sum of $2s5 that was lying on the
table beside the purse was also ken.
Mrs. Hullett believes that the thief had
a key to the front door, because when she
left the house every door and window was
locked up, she says.
There were men working on a fre-escape
on one side of the building, just beneath
her window, but she locked the window
before leaving the house and found that
1t was still locked when she returned. The
matter was reported to the police of the
Second Precinct police station. Policeman
Harmon is investigating the case today.

Jersey Shore Residents.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-The Hotel
Castleton, situated on the bluff over
looking the bay at st. George, Staten
Island, was destroyed by fire early last
evening and furnished an illumination
which drew thousands to the scene.
The hotel was an immense wooden
structure, about $50 feet long and 100
feet deep, and contained upward of $50
rooms. 1t was four stories high, with
two large wings.
The fine residences about the hotel
were saved from destruction by the fact
that no wind was blowing to spread the
flames.
There was no one In the hotel when
the fire was discovered. It had been
closed since November L. when the
season ended. In other years the hotel
has been kept open.

became the manager of the hotel prop
erty. At his order the hotel was closed
the first of this month. Mr.. Kerns is
now in Europe.

tire structure, and both wings blazed
up almost simultaneously. AS seen

STUNG! WHERE'S BUTTS?
Tonsorialist Goes Hunting and Returns
to Find an Unpleasant Surprise.

Walter Jorden, who conducts Il barber
shop and poolroom at 741a Orange street,
went hunting yesterday afternoon. 1t was
the first time in many weeks that Jorden
had allowed himself a day off, and, ac-
cordlng to what he told the police of the
Second Precinct Station, 1t win be some
time before he goes hunting again.
Jorden said that he hired a man named
Butts to run the place for him. Last
night when he returned from the hunting
trip he found the front door of his place
of business unlocked, and, upon investi-
cation, two hair clippers, three razors and
a set OF pool balls were missing. No trace
of Butts could be had, and the police are
asked to locate him and, incidentally, the
missing property.
