MINISTERIAL ASSOCIATION MEETS.

The Ministerial Association of Yale
met on Monday last, March 2, at 10 a.
m. with Pastor Ostrander. Pastor Law
rason delivered an address on "The
American City" The subject was well
handled and proved to be an interest
ing and practical theme for discussion.
The American City as described by
the speaker is a growing center of in
dustrial and social life, presenting
many problems that must be dealt with
in the near future problems of vital
Importance. The city is becoming
more and more the center of attraction
and as such is exerting an increasing
influence upon all classes of society,
the rural population included. The
evils that exist and the dangers that
threaten in congested districts must be
largely eliminated by the gospel of a
helping hand. The churches instead of
moving out of these districts to locate
in a purer atmosphere with the thought
of self preservation, must become in
struments of practical usefulness to
the people among whom they are locat-
ed. There must be an exercise of love
and self-denial on the part of the
churches, commensurate with the needs
of human life as found in the local
field.
1t was clearly shown that the prob
lens of city life are problems that
should engage the thoughtful attention
of the general public. The address
was followed by discussion in which
the local ministers took an active part.
Presiding Elder Harger of the NJ. p
church was present and his thoughtful
and helpful remarks gave an added in
teTest to the occasion. Pastor +. B.
Call of the Free Methodist church will
address the next meeting, to be held
the first Monday in April at the f. M,
parsonage. j. A. Bullock,

made to bring st. Stephens orchestra
of Port Huron, here on this evening

Patrick II. Kelley will be present.

Married?

Judge Blank, justice of the peace in
Oklahoma, was called upon to perform
the marriage ceremony for a young cou-
pie of Guthrie.
TIE judge, who until short time. be-
fore had gained his legal knowledge in a
neighboring state, where ministers of
ficially officiate on such occasions, was at
a loss to know how to proceed. How
ever, he arose to the occasion. Com
manding the couple co stand up, he di-
rected that they be sworn in the follow
ing terms:
'.Do you solemnly swear that you will
obey the constitution of the United
States and che constitution of the terri
tory or Oklahoma, and perform the du-
ties of your office to the best of your
ability, so help you God.
The couple nodded assent. Then, con-
tinued the judge, ''by the power in me
vested by the strong arm of the law

committed until the fines. and costs are

Fire at Sea in Midwinter.

The burning of the steamer st.
Cuthbert, off the coast of Nova
Scotia, with the loss of fifteen
lives, is an accident of winter nav
igation on the sea against which skill
in the handling of a ship is no safeguard.
The St. Cuthbert was steaming along a
dangerous coast, in charge of compe-
tent navigator, and was reasonably safe.
50 far as avoiding rocks and shoals is
concerned, but she was undone by an
occurrence which is within the province
of every steamer that puts to sea, even
though her entire complement be licensed
pilots fit to take her wherever ship had
ever foated. Fire developed in her cargo
and made itself manifest during the pre-
valence of a blizzard which increased the
hazard of the struggle against it,
The shipbuilder having produced craft
which are fit to cope with the seyerest
of gales while proceeding at rate of
speed that would have been deemed
fast some years ago, even in fair wealth
or, and the engine-builders having pro
vided these craft with power sufficient
to make them equal to the demands of
struggles with the fiercest tempests, the
risks of travel at sea are reduced to
two poSsibilities-fr or collision The
latter risk may be removed by watch

the fire is generally difficult to locate.
nothing short of scuttling would be help

with all the safeguards provided on mod

provision might be made for the intro

CROOKS In CHICAGO,
They Enjoy Merry Co Round Life
Which Is Pretty Free from
Trouble.

Chicago's police districts constitute a
merry -go-round for crooks. With inter
esting and inyariable regularity they are
chased from one station to another. The
average time of making the circuit is
estimated at three months.
The racers take it good naturally, and
laugh at the police as they romp over
the course, secure in the knowledge that
they practically are immune if they re-
main out of each district for certain
period of the year. An accommodating
thief gave an inside view of the system
to reporter for the Chicago Tribune
In some cities when the police tie
the 90 sign to us, said he, lit means
blow the town. In Chicago it means
move few blocks, if there is no charge
and the fly men are not wise to any
thing doing or done.
I've been all over the route half
dozen times. The longest time | lived
in one precinct was six months, and |
won't name it, for I'm there now aud
don't want to move.
Does the shur+ing system accom-
plish anything? IS and no. 1t might
brighten the timiG mi who is new to
the old timer knows it for what it is
and has no fear.
1T is a bit worse for us whose pic
lures are in the gallery than fer the UNI
known man, but that only makes US
more careful. The stranger isn't apt to
be bothered for long time if he keeps
moderately quiet. It's the fool who
loads up on booze and tells all he
knows who gets into trouble. He de-
serves it for blabbing.
You can find plenty of men who
have been in Chicago for years, except
for occasional trips to other cities for
short periods. This is their home and
is known as such by all their acquaint-
ances throughout the country. Sometimes
they live in one house for a year or
more. They never attempt any crooked
work in the district in which they live.
The men who are picked up usually
are the cheap skates, the kind who
snatch at purses and run, or who travel
in crowds and give a man the strong
arm to get his coin. They run with the
sneak thieves and petty criminals who
hang around the concert halls and cheap
saloons and in that way become too well
known to the police and fly men.
'''The clever man is told to clear out
only when the cleanup time comes. And
no notice is taken of the direction he
takes. say no notice. mean that
comparatively, he enjoys liberty.
1.-THE plain clothes men are rubber
ing all the time and sometimes make a
pinch just to show that they are wise
in a general way to what the gang is
doing, but are shy the real dope. Then it
is up to the bunch TO find the $1150 for
the appeal bond, the lawyers bit, and
the price of an appearance bond.
Altogether it doesn't amount to
much, and, well-it isn't long coming
back. If he skiddoes to some other pre-
cinct or district and sticks there the
bulls will not go after him strong for
jumping his bond, unless they want to
soak him on general principles. Then he
gets the $500 or what the judge thinks
right. Even at that he will find a way to
get it and have his little old meal ticket
right along"

tax gatherers that possible profits from

Strengthen the Medical Corps.

1t has long been a saying with regard
to the mortality in wars that ''Diseas Sc
kills more than the bullet" DIR, Lonis
l.. Seaman, who served as a surgeon Of
volunteers in the war with Spain. and
who was at the front in the Boxer re-
bellion in China and in the war between
Russia and Japan, lectured before the
New York Academy of Medicine. a few
evenings ago, on 1.-THE Triumphs OF

let in the proportion of IA to /. He
also asserted that Japan in her war with
Russia demonstrated that most of the
diseases of war are preventible, as in
that campaign only one Japanese died
from disease for three who gave IN the

tie.
In DIR. Seaman's opinion the organiza.
ton of the japanese medical corps is a
thing for study and imitation. The
American idea of RELOCATING the physician
TO the hospital, as if there was nothing
to do but cure the sick and wounded,
ignoring the fact that a great object OF
modern medicine is the prevention OF
disease. deserves the satire which was
expended upon 1t IN DR.. Seamans lee
ture. The sanitary department of the
modern army is of high importance, and
this must be Recognized by America as
it has been recognized by Japan. Medi.
cal officers must have advisory authority
over the commisSary, and must be con.
suited in the selection of sites for camps.
1t does not follow, as DIR. Seaman
thinks it does, that because medical
science is important in war and peace,
there should be a medical department
of the government, with a secretary of
medicine at its head That is a con-
summation whose ultimate effect might
be to retard rather than to advance Sci.
ence. A state school of medicine might
be as little beneficial as a state church.
But it is beyond question that the
United States should enlarge the powers
and improve the efficiency of the medi-
cal corps of the army.
