The Grange at Maddensv1lle held a
bang let on Saturday evening, Jan.
10Th. The attendance was large for
such an organization; for when the an
nouncement was made for supper,
about one hundred and sixty persons
seated themselves at the tables to par
take of the bounie )us supply of oys-
ters, ice cream, and cake After doing
themselves justice at the table, the
Changers returned to the Grange
chamber, where fine program was
rendered by the District officials. The
orchestra from this place furnished
the music for the occasion, for which
they received the highest praise. All

good to be there.
Word was received here Saturday
OF the supposed accident of Walter
w. Brown, OF Company 59th, Coast
Artillery. In June, 1906, Walter went
to Chambersburg and enlisted in the
standing army, and was first sent TO a
training station at Fort Slocum, N.
Y. After receiving sufficient training
he was next sent to Ft. Andrews,
Mass, where he has been stationed
ever since. Fort Andrews is located
on a small Island In Massachusetts
Bay, and often the boys In blue 90
across TO Boston and other places for
a little recreation, and by what'we
learn from the officials, Walter, was
last seen on board boat on New
Years Eve with crowd of other sol
diers, and has not been heard of since.
Falling overheard and drowning is
their idea OF his sudden disappear
ance.

The Rev. A. b. Simpson of New
York at the Old Orchard camp
ground raised s62,363 for the Christ
ian Alliance foreign mission at Sun

collection he has taken there in eight
years and with two exceptions the
largest amount he ever raised at Old

held summer camp meetings.
The solicitation of jewellery. which
made the old-tlme Simpson collect
ions spectacular, but was abandoned
some years ago because of public
criticism, was resumed in a mild

Cotton VS.. Gold.

There is much actual gold still to
be discovered in the South, but the
cotton grown annually by that Sec
ton is worth far more than all the
gold and silver produced In the world
in the same time. Between 1901
and 1906. for instance, the total val
ue of the worlds gold and silver
output was s2.6O6. 400. and the
total value of the cotton crop of the
South $500, 100000 difference in
favor of cotton in the six years OF
S1.062,3 $500.

his fathers home on Monday
evening of last week. Mr.. Sny-

A neu From tho See,

Probably very few people are
aware that m Old ships bell which
for many years had lain under the
seB IL suspended IN the nnderwrIt'
Ing room at Lloyd's and is used to
Announce" the arrival OF overdue
ships.
This Is the bell Of the frigats
Lutine, wrecked long ago off tho
Dutch coast After being under wat
er for years the bell was salved and
now. strangely enough, is employed
to inform underwriters that some
thing has been heard OF one OF those
ships which by their protracted pass
ages are causing uneasiness.
Not every ship that Is on the over
due market Is announced In this
manner. II is only when an under
writer has expressed to the COM
mittee his desire for immediate in
formation In respect to this or that
overdue vessel that the note of the
old black bell rings through the
rooms.
At the present time there are elev-
en- ships down on the list for an
nouncement by the Lutine bell. but
some OF these are so hopelessly over
due that It is practically certain no.
thing further will be heard CT them.
The big steel bark Alsternixe. for
instance heads the list. She was for
merly the British ship Lord Temple
more and was built at Belfast in
1892. This ship has not been heard
of since last November, when she
sailed from Callao for Australia

Growing Power ef Electric Lights.

A comparison has recently been
made of the power of the lights in
French lighthouses at various peri
DDS in the past S5 years. In 1874.
when only oil lights we're used. the
highest power was equal to $4,000
candles. In 1882. when the electric
light was introduced, the power rose
to a maximum of 100000 candles.
Since then frequent improvements
have been made in the electric lights
until, at present. the most powerful
lighthouses project an illumination
nearly equal to 100000 candles.

yet taken any steps to comply

On a Siberian Railway.

A St. Petersburg correspondent
states that matters are going from

mainly to the lack of money; the
chief officials receive their salaries
very irregularly; thus they are driven
to commit various kinds of en-
bezzlement in order to get their wag-
es. To make matters worse the Sun
gari River teens with junks. so that
