SHIP RELIEF
NEEDS MUCH REPAIR
HOSPITAL SHIP WILL NOT BE
READY TO JOIN THE FLEET Be
FORE THE FIRST OF FEBRUARY.

WASHINGTON, January 1O.-It is
Stated at the Navy Department that it
will be necessary to put the naval hos
.gital ship Relief in commission rs
naval auxiliary with a complete crew
and equipment, before Surgeon Charles
f. Stokes can formally assume com
mand of that vessel, and It was added
that the vessel will not be in that
state of readiness before the first
proximo. In the meantime, DR.. Stokes,
who has gone to the Mare Island navy
yard, where the vessel Is now at an
Choir, will persbnally assist in the
equipment of the vessel with It's hos
Dital and medical supplies All the
most modern hospital apparatus will be
provided including electrical apparatus
A-ray apparatus, etc, When the yes
sci Is entirely ready she will proceed to
Magdalena bay for service with the big
fleet Of vessels which will assemble in
those waters in the early spring, in
Guiding the battleships and torpedo
boat destroyers of the Atlantic feet

of South America.
Just where the money was found to
defray the expense Of this undertaking
Is not disclosed at the Navy Depart
ment though it is known that more
than $4,000 will be needed for the
purpose, a sum not easy to find in
view of the practical exhaustion of the
allotment for the current month on ac-
count of naval repairs to auxilarIes.
Under the terms Of the departments

CHURCH WORK.

The bishop of London. who made such notable visit to this country last September. is now planning to tour Russia
 It is now just twenty-five years since Bishop Mallalleu formed the Boston district of the Swedish Methodist church. the first church of the Swedish Methodists having been organized just two years previous to that time.
 The Holiness church. whose mem bers are mainly in Texas, Arkansas, Tennessee and Missouri. has joined with the Association of Pentecostal Churches of New England. bringing under one head about 13,000 communi- cants.
 Eight churches in one of the suburbs of Baltimore secured trained men to take church census of that section, and a card index has now been ar- ranged that tells the ministers all about the religious affiliations of every family of that locality.

Pen Portrait of Gricd.

Here is as vivid picture of Grieg the man as any that has yet been drawn. A correspondent who saw the noted Scandinavian composer when he re- ceived his honorary degree at Cam bridge. in England. in 1894. makes 1t for the Manchester Guardian: Tt was sad and strong face that we saw. one might almost have said a grim face, but that there was nothing of hardness In 1t. face which must have inspired both respect and affection in all who met him. Yet as the little. old looking man stood there in the red and yellow gown Of doctor of music there was something incongruous about his appearance, the head. en- circled with long, straight, white hair. appearing above the still stiffer. straighter lines of gaudy brocaded silk, which descended to the ground in the form of a regular cone. and the simile of one visitor. who remarked that they made him look just like a penwiper. was irresistibly accurate"

Terrapin.

Terrapln begin laying about the mid. dle of May and hatch in about thirty days. The female terrapin scratches hole in the sand with her fore paws, deposits her eggs, from thirteen to nineteen, in it and then covers them up and leaves the heat of the sun on the sand to hatch out the young terra. pins. They are not much bigger when matched than mans thumb nail and are as soft as dough. They crawl around pretty lively and begin to hunt for their food. consisting of small fish. crabs, etc. The first summer they are quite small, and about the first to the middle of November they go into their winter quarters. These consist of some soft mudhole in the marsh or on the bottom of some stream. Here they sleep until about the middle of April or later, when they come out and are of quite respectable size. say four inches in breadth. The next year they are six inches and the third seven inches in breadth. It is undoubtedly while the terrupln slumbers in the mud that he acquires the peculiar qualities for which we admire him. It is the only flesh known which one can crush in his mouth with his tongue without the aid of his teeth. The oth- CT animals run about. sleeping only at night The terrapin sleeps night and day for six or seven months of the year and takes his night maps. too. for the balance of the year.-BaItimore Sun.

NEW YORK CITY.

New York ciiy's law department will cost the taxpayers sg149 a day during 1908.
 It is estimated that in New York city there are 12.300 men who were educated for the bar who are in vaTi- ous employments outside of law of- fees.
 An aged man familiar with the peo- pie of the metropolis says that nothing seems to asionish a New York man as much as to find some desired purpose which cannot be accomplished by money.
 Post No Bills" Is a familiar sign in New York city. and one man who finds it necessary to post it says. Its presence is a sad commentary on the sense of right and decency. for why should any one think of posting bills on another's property without first get ting consent T''-New York Herald.

Beer Capacity of a Munich Porter.

An English family touring in Ba- varia called at the world famous Hof- brauhaus, the pride of Munich, writes our correspondent. To the waitress serving them the head of the family in matter of fact way simply held up his five fingers. To the family's astonishment. the waitress came back with five quart pots filled to the brim with beer. The visitors bravely strug- gled with the beer. but managed to dispose of only about a quart between them. Knowing that it would be con- sidered an insult to leave beer. they called porter and ordered him to finish 1t. In less time than 1t takes to relate 1t the Bavarian accomplished the task. Wiping his mustache. he demanded sixpence for the "job" and. having obtained the money, instantly ordered and emptied yet another quart pot-London Mall.

A Walters Amazing Vail.

The waiter spoke indignantly.
 "Men go about" he said, complain. ing of being mistook for walters. but it is on the other foot really that the shoe rests. Us walters are the real compliments in these cases of mistak- en identity. Our kicks are sincere The others ring false. For at dances and balls and such like crushes many a young man makes money by being mistook for a waiter. How does he make money? Why. he is tipped, and all them tips he pockets, never think. ing of handing them over to their rightful owners. At every big affair we count on loss of per cent through the dishonest advantage that impecunious young swells take of be ing mlstook for walters" - Philadel. phia Bulletin.

Extraragance of the New Yorker.

Is not the native New Yorker the prey and the plaything of the waiter. the cabman, the ticket speculator and the market man? Does he not pay two prices for food in the glittering Broad way cafe and then, after waiting an hour, receive cold, dead portion of something that he didn't order and never would think of ordering unless delirious? Does he not recognize that the legal tariff of cab charges is pure fiction and fork over what the weather beaten Rube Burrows on the top of the hanson may demand? Does he not But, oh, what's the use!

 Boyertown, Pa., Jan. 14.-A catastro- phe horrifying in its details and sick ening in its results last night swept hundred souls of this borough into eternity in almost the twinkling of an eye and injured nearly threescore, many of them fatally. A majority of the killed were members of the lead ing families of the town. ... ..
 While the Scottish Reformation was being produced in Rhoades' Opera House by Mrs. Monroe of Washington . tank used in moving picture scene exploded. Immediately there was a wild rush for the exits of the build ing. Men of mature years endeavor- ed to still the panic, but their voices could not be heard above the shrieks and screams of the terrified women and children. who composed the great CT part of the audience. The scenes cannot be portrayed fitly by the most imaginative. The blood curdling cries for help of those who were penned within the walls of the blazing struc- ture could be heard above the roaring, seething flames.
 Mad Rush For Exits.
 It seemed as though nearly the en- tire audience made a mad rush for the exits the moment the explosion occur red. In their attempt to quiet the great crowd those persons who were on the stage accidentally upset the coal oil lamps used at the footlights. The burning oil scattered fin all direc- tions, and the lamps which were used to light the opera house exploded. throwing the blazing oil over the ter TOT stricken people who were fighting frantically to gain the exits. In the mad rush section of the floor gave sway, precipitating scores of persons to the basement.
 It was scarcely five minutes from the time of the explosion of the tank un- til the entire heart of the structure seemed a roaring furnace. There was q mad scramble for the stairway lead ing from the balcony, and scores of women and children were knocked down and trampled upon. many of them doubtless being crushed to death. At least fifty persons. realizing that exit by the stairway meant almost certain death. risked their lives by jumping from fine windows. Limbs were broken and skulls were crushed by this daring method of escape
