on record. Also in order to even up with the democrats for the manner in which they have harrassed them for the past six months efforts are on foot to pass the Crumpacker campaign publicity bill. no part of which the republican aprty wants except the provision directed at the decrease in the south's electoral vote. Of course any such provision as this could not get through the Senate. and this the House leaders also know.
 There is even talk on the House side of resurrecting the ship subsidy bill The wind-up of the session has simply re- solved itself into sort of political hodge podge, the House leaders trying to throw the odium of a do-nothing session upon the Senate, which is calmly wating for but one thing-the joint resolution de- caring Congress adjourned.

Mexico City. May 21.-Advices were re- ceived in this city today to the effect that the American cruiser Albany. conveying Hon. Enrique Greet and William |. Buchanan, special envoys of the United States to the Central American session of the high court of justice, arrived in San Jose de Costa Rica yesterday. The party disembarked immediately and start ed for the Costa Rican city, where the Central American court of justice will be inaugurated on the 25th of this month. The two envoys and the justices of the other Central American countries who had joined the party en route were met at San Jose by the minister of foreign affairs of Costa Rica, together with a great many other government officials and people and were given an ovation as they disembarked. An entertainment was given at San Jose last night to the guests and the journey was begun this morning to the interior city

promotion, no help, and no attention from the United States government ought to be argument enough.
 But there Is one other consideration. The great growth of the mining industry of the United States in recent years has been attended with a disproportionate and appalling loss of life, due to accidents and explosions in mines. The horror and sadness of some of these are still fresh in our memories. It is inconceiv' able that such accidents might not be prevented. The cause or causes of them are obscure. as was shown at our hear ings but the danger, whether gas or dust or both commingled, or whatever the cause, must disclose itself to adequate scientific investigation. When we recall that these accidents in 1906 sacrificed the lives of more than 150O persons, who in darkness and danger were couragously pursuing their vacations the appeal in this regard becomes well nigh impera- tive"

in view of the dissension displayed at the meeting tonight it will probably be advisable to conceal further party differences on the question. Much bit terness was displayed throughout the meeting. Early in the evening an ef- fort was made to adjourn the meeting until tomorrow night and this was de- feated by a bare majority of one.
 more disgusted lot of republicans could hardly be found than those who attended the caucus. Many of the re- publican members have already left for their homes to give attention to their political fences.

HATFIELD IS SURE WINNER
Second Place for Supreme Court Jus tce Still Hangs Fire Between Simp- son, Aston and Bilbro.
 Mallory Issues Gall.

The result of Mondays primary Is still
 undecided as to some of the contests
 though the main features have probably
 been decided except in the second choice
 for supreme court justice.
 This and other contests will probably
 not be certainly decided until the county
 canvasses are made and reported tomor-
 row.
 Mayfields nomination to one of The
 places on the supreme court bench IS
 pretty generally conceded. The other
 place seems to be still in doubt between
 Simpson, Aston and Bilbro, with the first
 named popular claimant for the honor. John and Oakley have probably won for delegates from the Ninth Congressional district
 Johnson carried at least five counties in the state Mobile giving him majority of approximately 1100
 All the Bryan delegates are probably nominated, though Cunningham is leading Booker merry chase for the fourth place and it would not be great surprise To those who are watching the returns close ly if he is declared the winner in the final count.
 In view of the pronounced success of W. J. Bryan in the state the large vote
 for pr. Cunningham is one of the several llsurprising features of the primary. Cun- ningham's friends are well pleased with the large vote boiled for their favorite even though he may not be given the l delegateship.

Scripture Authority-The Book Of
Amos
The Prophet Amos.-A herdsman proph-
ct to Israel. His native town was Te-
koa, small place in Judea, six miles
from Bethlehem. AS the meaning of his
name ia burden'D indicates, Amos was
of humble rank, and probably never had
any training in the schools of the proph-
cts, but was called from the field to his
prophetic ministry. His period of serV-
ice, according to the opening verse of his
message, was during the days of W.
ziah, king of Judah, and in the days or
Jereboam, the son of Joash, king of Is
rael," about 1872 B. c. He was con-
temporary of Hosea, although his min
istry ended with the reign of Uzziah,
while that of Hosea continued through
subsequent reigns. There are three main
divisions to the book covering, l, dis
courses concerning the nations, 1-2:3; 2;
dscourses concerning Judah, 2:4-5; ), dis
courses concerning Israel, 2:6-9:15. From
chapter seven to close of book, instead or
a series of discourses, we have rather
series of visions, each of which may
have been expanded into discourse. In
the first two, God is represented as for
giving Israel at the prophets intercession
In the following visions forgiveness IS
seen to be past. In connection within

The Cisuse Of Alcohol In the Treat
nnent of Diseases.

The Cisuse of Alcohol in the Treat
ment of Diseases.
Presiding at the thirty-ifth annual
meeting of the London Temperance
hospital held recently in Great Britain,
Lord Alverstone, the lord chief JUS
tice, commented on the notable prog
ress the institution has made III the
treatment of diseases without the ordi-
nary use of alcohol, and expressed
satisfaction in the fact that alcohol
was being more and more dispensed
with as medical agent in the general
practice of physicians.
The yearly records of the Temper
ance hospital, Lord Alverstone stated,
continued to present undoubtable evil
dence in favor of the disuse of alco-
hol as drug. The scope Of the hos
pital was yearly charging and the
progress made during the past year
had been especially noteworthy. A
splendid hall for out-patients had been
opened by the duchess of Argyle, who
had since become patroness of the in
stitution; the buildings had been rem
ovated and furnished with every
modern improvement. With the in
creased accommodation larger staff
became necessary and an especially
able staff of physicians was now in
charge. The striking statement in the
report which showed that during 81
years the in-patients mad numbered
1926, and it had only been considered
needful to make trial of alcohol in 80
cases would not be without due weight
in medical circles. From this it was
clear that whatever theoretical value
some might attach to alcohol as a
drug, it could be almost entirely and
safely dispensed with, while the pa
tients themselves enjoyed immunity
from those moral hazards to which
many of them would be exposed by
imbibing alcohol in quantities however
small.
At the conclusion Of the meeting a
resolution of oongratulation upon the
excellent work accomplished at the
hospital was recorded. The resolu-
ton also stated that the meeting re-
ioiced in the knowledge that a large
reduction In the use of alcohol was
commencing itself to the judgment
and entering into the practice Of the
medical profession.

THE STORY.

TH7HAT boy is there who has not
w been thrilled and fascinated with
the story Of David the shepherd boy?
With what intense interest mother or
father has been followed as the story
of the young shepherd and his sheep
has been told, of his devotion to duty.
of his courageous facing of the lion
and the bear when they came to at
tack the lambs of the flock, and how
after a fierce struggle he had killed
both these savage beasts; of his call
from the field one day to meet the
prophet Samuel and be told that he
was some day to be made king of Is
raeI; of his battle with the giant
Goliath; of his leaving the flock on
the hillsides of Bethlehem, to go to
the palace of King Saul; of the sweet
songs he had learned to play in the
woodlands and meadows where the
birds and the musical ripples of the
brooks down the hillsides taught him
his first lessons in the melody Of song,
and of how his music upon his harp
soothed the troubled spirit of the
king.
No matter how old the world grows
it will never grow weary of this story
of David. And if we of to-day find
delight in the story, what must have
been the charm and inspiration of the
story to the boys of the land and ma
zion in which David lived?
The time of our story was some 800
years after the time of David, but the
same Judeap hiIlsides and valleys
through which David had led his
sheep were there to furnish the set
ting of our story. Not more than six
miles from the town of Bethlehem
where David was born and brought up
was another little village known as
Tekoa, and it was there that the hero
of our story was born. His parents
were poor, as were most of the people
living in Tekoa, and for most part
followed the calling of shepherds and
vine dressers.
Almost the first recollection which
Amos had was being set ON the hill-
