Great Britain in Line.

A deputation from the laymen's
missionary movement has just re-
turned from the other side of the wa
ter, where 1t went to introduce the
project to the laity Of the British
churches. The report brought back
is remarkable. The deputation was
welcomed and feted everywhere by
archbishops, church leaders and bust
ness men. They ate enough compli-
mentary dinners to give them all
dyspepsia. The serious outcome of
their labors was the definite organi-
cation, with unexpected enthusiasm,
of the laymen's missionary movement
in England and Scotland.
The most striking feature of Great
Britain's acceptance of the project is
the fact that the high church party
OF the Church of England has en-
tered into ALLIANCE with other re
| ligious bodies in this undertaking
This is unprecedented. The Society
! for the Propagation of the Gospel, the
| famous High Church Missionary or
ganization, has indorsed the new
movement, and it's representatives are
working side by side with men from
the nonconformist bodies. Grea
Britain, with less than half the popu
lation of the United States and Can
ada, already gives SS,973,000 yea
to foreign missions, a little less thar
is given by the North American con
tinent. The balance needed to max,
up the worlds total $3,92I000 beinl
given by all other countries. 1t i

ain will be stimulated in proportion t.

Senator James B. McCreary of Kentucky,
who proposes to pay all eX-presdents 1--WE

commissions, is one of the best examples of te-
nacity in American public life He had been for
over 80 years leader in Democratic politics in
Kentucky.
Senator McCreary is an imperalist in a sense;
he is parochial politician with outlook
bounded by the limits of his native town. In the
IL years he sat in the lower house of congress
he had more to do with international questions
than probably any other man. He devised the
scheme of uniting North, South and Central
America with railway; and if there is ever a
road built to connect HudsonS bay with the

FIGHTS SENATOR PENROSE

William Finn, who has entered the lists against
United States Senator Boies Penrose as the Re-
publican leader in Pennsylvania, claims to be ac-
tuated only by altruistic motives. He does not
want to succeed Penrose as senator, he says but
he objects to Penrose the ground that his
leadership has served only to perpetuate the tyr
amy established by Mat Quay, and that the
public interests demand new leader.
Penrose is the son of wealthy parents and
his way in life has been made smooth for hrm,
while Finn is the of poor Irish immigrants,
and had to fight his battles He is said to
be worth 100000 now, but be that it may,
he began life with nothing he inherited nothing,
and has never been charged with cheating any
body. The one man was sent to college and re-

of Washington avenue, who was pro-
nounced out OF danger from lock

weeks. described how he felt during
his illness.
In diagnosing my own symptoms
a week after the germs of tetanus
had entered my blood, / thought l

said DR.. Grundmann. "One day, as
/ was stepping OF a street car, it
started permsturely and threw me
on my knee on the street. A hole
was ripped in my trousers, and 3
cash cut in the flesh of my knee,
into which earth from the street
was ground.
1T gave me no trouble, panied
me very little and l gave ii no fur
ther thought. About 3 week later
I found that / had fever and that
the muscles OF my neck panied me
and were constructed. Next / OBJ

limbs. These knew to be Fremont
tory symptoms of lockjaw.
4 was alarmed, naturally, but
thought perhaps I might be mistak-
en-. so I visited a physician and told
hir7 how felt He did not think
seriously of the matter, and I be
lieved l might have been mistaken,
but nevertheless ] was worried, and
when thai night the symptoms grew
more pronounced and became more
perceptihis I watched them all the
more closely
That night ! got real shock. I
observed 4 growing rigidity of the
muscles Of the jaws. II 1t kept on
they would become locked beyond
all hope of unlocking them.
"In one day I had 5000 uHits,

injected. Ny jaws continued slow
ly to grew more rigid, but We fought
the disease with the serum until at
