The theater was crowded at the time.
The lights were extinguished and

SUBSTITUTE
FOR SALOONS
Discussed by Rev. D. H.
Bailey, Sunday Evening.
REMUNERATESALOONMEN
They Must be Provided for
by the People.
Rev. Baily Declares That Health
full Amusements Must be Provid.
ed for the Men and Boys.

At the Epworth NJ. L. church
last evening Rev. d. II. Bailey de-
liyered sermon on "The Bigness
of the Problem; the Saloon Must
co; the Saloonkeeper must be re-
munerated for his loss; a substi-
tute for the saloon must be given
the public.
Coming events cast their shad-
owS before; an order was given
by a syndicate of Chicago brew
ers that no extensions to the brew
cries should be constructed during
the present agitation; last week
in Columbus brewery stock was
offered sixty five per cent below par
and no purchases. The saloons
must go-they are going. With the
above statement Mr.. Bailey began
his discussion of his theme. The
most sacred interests of our civil
llzation demand the elimination of
the saloon. First the family inter
ests. Senator Berry said to a
brewer that he had twelve good
reasons for opposing the saloon.
that these were his ten sons and
two daughters any man who is the
father OF son or daughter and is
not opposed TO the saloon business
needs praying for.
Second, the business interests OF
the country demand it. In Kansas
City the vacated saloon rooms have
all been rented at a higher rate
for businesses that give the pat
rons something of value in return
for their money. Third, the poll
tical interests demand the abolish
ment of the saloon. The saloon is
the menace 10 all civil authority.
The saloon keepers as a class are
law breakers. The saloon today in
this city are selling drinks in vio-
lation OF law and no one denies il.
For the first time In forty years
the jails of Atlanta are without
colored inmates. The sheriffs OF
Kentucky are opposed to county
local option because they are com
pensated by fees and nothing to
do whore the saloon does not ex-
list.
The remuneration for the sa-
loohkeeper Mr.. Bailey argued
should be: First, the opportunity
to earn an honest living by honest
toll the same as other citizens;
second the opportunity to live
down the disgrace of his past life
and secure a name for which he
would have no shame; third, TO
give to his children a heritage that
would not be stigma, but a
blessing to them.
The speaker thought the talk
about payment for bar fixtures
and the like was never seriously
considered by anyone.
AS a substitute for the saloon
Mr. Bailey warned against some
dangers First, the multiplication
OF pool rooms with gambling joints
attached. Second the debasing of
the lodge rooms to purposes for
which they were never intended
This has been the tendency for
many years and is one of the de-
plorable facts OF the times. The
lodges will have to cean up and
put out the petty gambling and
other Objectionable things that are
going on in their buildings on Sum
days and other days or loose the

DECIDEDLY
PESSIMISTIC
Columbus Pastor Takes a
Dark View of Things.
CHURCHES RETROGRADE
Effect is Being Felt in the
Cities.
Rev. Walter Il. Houston Occupied
the Pulpit at the First Presby
terian Church Sunday.

That the Presbyterian church is
facing a very grave peril in the fact
that rural communities are becoming
devoid of churches and competent
ministers was clearly demonstrated
Sunday morning at the First Presby-
terian church in an address by Rev.
Walter r. Houston, of Columbus.
IF the present trend of religious
tendency continues to decline as it
has been declining in the past few
years, within fifteen years America
will be a pagan country, so far as the
rural communities are concerned"
said the speaker
'Not only is the church itself i'm
periled in the country districts and
greatest source of material for leader
ship in the churches of the cities will
have been cut off. Nine-tenths of the
church pastors and laymen of the city
Presbyterian churches came origin
ally from the rural districts, These
will be lost TO the church within the
near future If the rural church con-
tinues to decline. In very few COM
munities indeed is there a sufficient
number of persons to make a success
of a church organization. A large
part of the present church member
ship is composed of those who orig
inally came from the country and in
many ways 1t can be seen that If the
rural church is suffered to continue
in its decline the whole will be i'm
periled."
In this respect, Rev. Mr.. Houston
showed how the church was being
in this respect by Method
ism, with its presiding elders, whose
business it is to see to the welfare of
all persons in his district BY this
means the rural community IS cared
for and is not allowed to decline.
Mr.. Houston spoke of the present
drth in the ministerial field. Very
few students are being put out by the
seminaries and the num-
ber, who apply for charges, Is becom-
ing less each year. There must be
some means adopted not only by the
Presbyterian but all churches to meet
this emergency. Churches fail to pay
salary to pastors that they
may make a decent living and in the
rural communities no person can be
found, who will undertake the task
when the salary is 50 low hat living
can scarcely be made.
The tide of immigration was dis
cussed The church should meet
these hosts of people as they come to
this country and bring them to lead
a noble life rather than one of evil
and anarchy. The church has here
great problem to meet, and it is up
to the church to do it nobly.
In closing his adress, Rev. Mr..
Houston urged more interest in
church work in rural communities
be taken by those in the city churches
for here lies very great and grave
problem.

Fertilixer for Onions.

Professor John B. Smith, the Ento-
mologlst Of the New Jersey Experiment
Station, in a bulletin on the cabbage
and onion maggots, just issued, refers
to the necessity Of a dhick-acting fer
tilizer In conjunction with planting at
the right time, and replenishes the fol-
lowing formula, recommended in ear
lier reports: Nitrate of soda, TOO
pounds; acid phosphate, 1000 pounds |;
muriate of potash, 300 pounds. This,
he said, in the case Of radishes, can be
applied as top dressing along the
rows, before they are planted, or just
after they are up, at the rate Of 500
pounds per acre. Similar applications
can be made on turnips or onions.
believe that fertilizer compounded
after this formula, or the application
Of the three ingredients separately, at
proportlonate rate, would in most
cases be followed by good results. The
combination has about per cent nitro

cent phosphoric acid, and ~ per cent
potash. A ton of 1t would cost In the
neighborhood Of $50 to $35.

The backward trimming continues to
flourish.
The shady, downward-turned brim
still holds Its own.
Handouts Of strange, soft-falling
plumage are used in profusion In
adjoining the smartest models.
Flowers are favorite trimming, and
large buckles made of tinsel galloon,
drawn silk and velvet are some Of the
smartest touches,
Smooth and rough felt, long-haired
selves in favor for winter wear. Vying
with them are largs hats Of velvet, the
simpler ones trimmed with big bows
of satin ribbon, the more decorative
ones with handsome. feathers.
The little hat, say the prophets, Is
going to take on huge trimmings. Such
models, indeed, are already here and
answer the difficult problems for wo-
men past their youth. Some hats of
the kind come in blocked felts In small
mushroom shapes, lifted slightly from
the head and trimmed at the front
with big square bows conferred with
big buckles. The hats are trig, of
small expense, and go excellently with
plain tailormades, and they are be-
coming to almost any one. Jet and
bands embroidered In colors are being
used extensively for the front brims
Of turbans worn by matrons for dressy
occasions. and they are also employed
with excellent effect around higt
crowns Of velvet or felt shapes. The
jet and Oriental embroidered band:
are worked on net with, in both cases
mixture of coarse floss embroidery
The bands embroidered in color bright
en- up dull toned suits.
