 That country life commission is work ing in the wrong direction. It is not so- cial life faI mer's wife needs, it is help.
 Labor is So scarce on the farm a wom- an servant cannot be secured for love nor money.
 "If any one wants to do something for the farm woman let him start some in stitution that will do washing in the country"

PLAN ID BUILD UP
 STREET RAILWAY
Boston Firm Tries to Aid the
 Metropolitan System
STANDARD OIL IN CONTROL
Stone 6 Webster, the Well Known Firm of Boston Street Railwa, Owners, Will Do the Work
 of Reorganization.

New York, December 12.-( Especially )-That Standard Oil interests are in control of the Metropolitan Street railway of this city was the interpretation Wall street placed today on the action of the bond holders' committee in calling in Stone X Webster. street railway experts, to as sist in the reorganization of the system
 Stone X Webster is Boston firm Since it's aid has been asked by the se- eprity holders committee of the Metro politan il has opened offices in this city It's business is the reorganization and management of public service concerns with special respect to street railway and lighting companies to which Standard Oil men are particularly partial It is known to have furnished executive officers for more than DO traction and gas com panies scattered all ovef the United States from Seattle on the west to Portland on the east and Galveston on the south.
 Again it is known to be in close con neetion with the great private banking house of Kidder. Peabody & Go. of Bos ton Sc close, indeed, is that connection that Wall street regards Stone x Web ster practically as a branch of the bank ing house and the name of the latter it holds to be practically synonomous with that of Standard Oil.
 Another fact which Wall street takes corroboratiYe evidence is the pres enee of oil men in the proposed organ ization of the local traction trust, which Thomas Fortune Ryan manipu lated so long and so deXtrously to his own profit, is that Kuhn, Loeb & Co. are at the head of one of the bond holders committees.
 Kuhn, Loeb & Go. are well known here as a Standard oil banking and promoting house. In all the great fights that have taken place between the rival interests in Wall street, Kuhn. Loeb X Go. always have been found lined up on the side of Hartman and Standard Oil
 John ". Castles of the Guaranty Trust company. head of the joint com mittee of security holders of the Met ropolitan system, admitted today that his committee had called in Stone & Webster to aid in formulating a plan of organization for the bankrupted roads. According to Castles, G. F. Tripp. vice president of Stone & Web ster has been employed to collect data" on which the committee could base plan of reform.
 What the committee requires and what MT. Tripp Is to endeavor to fur nish." said MT. Castles, ''is the earning capacity of the component parts of the system to determine just what lines the reorganization shall proceed along"

ANGRY PREACHER
 LEAVES CHARGE

Richmond, December 12-(Special.) .)-The Rev Wytne Leigh Kinsolving, rector of Epiphany Episcopal church, Barton Heights, suburb of this city, and brother of the Right Rev. George H. Kinsolving, bishop of the Episcopal diocese of Texas; the Rev. Dr. Arthur B. Kinsolving, rector of St. Pauls church or Baltimore, an6 Bishop Lucien Lee Kin solving of southern Brazil, resigned his charge today following a fist fight with his father-in-l law the Rev. Dr. D. H. Pitt, editor-in-chief of the Religious Her. aid. the leading Baptist publication in the south The encounter occurred in the home of Dr. Pitt and followed an alleged charge on his part to the effect that Kin solving was suffering from nervous dis order.
 The Rev. Wythe Leigh Kinsolving mar ried Miss Annie Laurie Pitt two years ago. Shortly before the marriage, while the couple were betrothed pr. Pitt was in@ormed ny an Episcopal clergyman that his prospective son-in-law had suffered from some nervous disorder. An investi- gation was made at that time but MT. Pitt came to the conclusion that if such was the case the young man had entirely recovered
 Some two or three months ago, how ever. it became apparent, according to Dr. Pitt. that a recurrence of the malady was imminent. Not wishing to humiliate the son-in-law, Dr. Pitt wrote to the elder Mrs Kinsolving. who lives with her son. the bishop of Texas. fingered at the in formation received, MT. Kinsolving sought the Pitt home for an explanation. Dr. Pitt was not in and was telephoned for. When he was admitted he was unduly excited and upon hearing his son-in- w's demand for the name of the clergy man who had been the originator of the information he hurried to the house. Pitt then threatened to call an officer. Still Kinsoving refused to go. He was led to the door by Pitt, where the fight took place.
 The fathar-sn-law now regrets his ac- ton in allowing his temper to get the better of him Kinsolvng resigned his church and will leave with his wife for the far south, presumably to some charge in the diocese of his brother in Texas.

 REACHES CEYLON
Squadron Will Stay Six Bays

FIRST STOP ON LAST TRIP
Presents of Fine Tea Will Be Made to Officers and Men of the Fleet and Other courtesies Will Be
 Freely Extended.

Colombo, Ceylon, December 12.-The United States Atlantic fleet, under com mand of Rear Admiral sperry. was sight ed at o'clock this morning. The fleet left Manila on December 1.
 The squadron will remain here six days to take on coal and give the men and officers opportunity for shore leave.
 Colombo is the first stop on the home ward stretch. According to the original schedul the vessels were to have put in at Singapore, but this was changed and they steamed past that harbor with out stopping on December l.
 The colonial secretary of Ceylon has received instructions from London to ex- tend such hospitality to the vessels as King Edward would wish to have shown the United States. The legislative coun- ell has voted an appropriation for en- tertainments, special trains will take the men on excursions into the interior of the island, baseball matches will be ar ranged and the officers will be given the freedom of the clubs. Official informa- tion concerning the coming of the fleet was late in reaching Colombo and this fact resulted in the necessity of rather hurried preparations
 It Is planned among other things, to present five pounds of tea to each officer and one pound to each man in the fleet.
 Ceylon is an island in the Indian ocean off the southern extremity of Hindustan and Colombo is on the west coast It has been called the "pearl of the eastern seas" There is hardly a month without some rain and the result is the luxuriant vegetation for which Ceylon is famous. Ceylon has been under British control since 1795. Imperial troops are stationed at Colombo and Randy, the cap ital of the island, suituated in the inter for, and Colombo harbor has been strong ly fortified. The island is mountainous in the interior. Randy being at an elevation of 16O0 feet. The population of Ceylon Is 3,5OO, ,OO0 including 10000 Europeans, and 2,5OO, 900 Singales. Colombo has a popula- ton 16O,00O. The principal products are cocoanuts, tea, rubber and cinnamon. Colombo has an excellent harbor with an extensive coaling depot. The city is di- vided into two quarters, the European and the native, between which stands the fa- nous citadel built by the Dutch in the last century.
 Colombo itself is surrounded by many beautiful cinnamon groves and the drives around the city are famous. It is also the center of an extensive trade in pre- cious and semi-precious stones
