A CHAPEL FOR
EAST ENDsMISSION

The East End Mission, which has
become potent factor in dissemin-
ating the gospel in Danville, is to have
a new chapel.
From Hon. II. NJ. Hinckley, who is
leading spirit in the mission, it was
leaIned yesterday that in all probabil-
ity ground will be broken yet during
the present week.
The chapel will occupy the plot of
ground. 47x75 feet, formerly occupied
by Shepperson S coal yard, East Market
street. The building will be 80 by so
feet and will be of frame.
During year or more past those in
terested in the mission have contem-
plated the building of chapel. No
definite plans, however, were formed
until within week or so past. On
Sunday, March Sth, Mr.. Hinckley an
nounced that subscriptions would be
received for a new building and that
if the proper encouragement.,were met
with building would proceed forth
with.
Willing workers were at once enlist
ed in the project. The response to the
appeal for funds surpassed the fond
est expectations In one week thou
sand dollars were raised, which is
enough to insure the success of the
project.
Mr.. Hinokley explained yesterday
that while the money subscribed will
not complete the building it will car
ry the work far enough to admit of
using the chapel, at least during the
summer months. He is much encour-
aged with the ready response and the
generosity ofRthe people as we'll as the
interest and the enthusiasm revealed
at all times when ssmatters pertaining
to the East End Mission are under con-
sideration. He feels confident that if
the work can be carried to point that
will make the chapel fit to hold ser.
vices in with the money at present
subscribed 1t will not be long after
ward until the balance can be raised
needed to complete the house of wor-
ship.
Up to the present the East End Mis-
sion has held services in the Ammer-
man building, East Market street,
which is not at all suited to the pres
ent needs Unless some unforeseen
delay occurs the mission will be able
to hold services in the new chapel
some time in May.
In 1909. Mr.. Hinckley organized the
East End Mission. That it has accom-
plished far reaching good no one will
dispute. Mr.. Hinckley is an indefatig-
able worker and it is due to his relig-
ious zeal quite as much as his. eloqu-
ence that the mission from-a small be-
ginning3 has grown and prospered.
With new building full measure of
success in the field that opens up be-
fore it is assured for the future.
The average attendance at the East
End Mission is between 80 and 100.
Next in interest to the sterling ad-
dresses delivered by Mr.. Hlnckley, is
the singing of the mission choir, which
includes in its membership men en-
ployed at the stove works, the struo-
tural tubing works aud other indust-
ries

White Petticoats Popular.

For some years the white petticoat
was not popular for day wear, and
silk petticoats were worn almost en-
tirely in their place. The general
popularity of lingerie and Bingham
summer dresses has brought the white
petticoat into favor again. The most
popular white petticoats are made
with a deep flounce of embroidery, so
that there will be slight fullness
from the knees down, but none above.
The bulky drawstring or the belt with
gathers at the back is most undesir-
able, for with these 1t is impossible
to have a neat, trim waistline, and
slim, slender hips, and what woman is
there nowadays who does not want
these. The petticoat should be gored
and well fitted at the hips, and If you
desire any fullness at the back it
should be let in in the form of a
large, fiat plait In the center of the
back of the skirt

district,
Shortly after her arrival she went
to the local postoffice and inquired if
any letters had come for Sister Ber-
nardine. The rural postmaster looked
bewildered.
Sister who?' he asked incredulous-
.ly.
Sister Bernardine," repeated the
lady, "a sister of St. John the Bap-
list"
II think not" he answered, dubi-
ously. Then, after some reflection, he
added:

Here is tabasheer. 1t is found
in the joints of certain kinds of BAN

You find it in the endosperm of the
Javanese cocoanut. Round or pear
shaped, it has always this milk-white
luster, like pearl. The smaller stone,
with its pearly luster little tar

Oa!aScs for Which Little rxpsG4@ure
Is Required.

No end Of attractive collars g%dlca,
belts ard bodices are seen in the
shops, and almost all are extremely
dainty. These little things cost no
end OF money II bought rcady-made,
but they may be copied by the clever
woman for half the cost.
Or course, some Of the little collars,
bows, iabots, etc, are moderate in
price, but one needs many OF them In
order to look dainty and fresh. More
over, the prettiest Of these accessories
are often surprisingly expensive,
thanks to the real lace and handwork
bestowed upon them.
The popularity OF wide frills around
the throat increases steadily, though
this fashion is not generally bec5m! =
Parisians go with throats swathed
nigh in fluffy frills and ruches con-
cession to the directoire modes of the
day, and the most exclusive shops
echo this Partisan note by Displaying
much of the frilled neckwear. For the
woman to whom it Is becoming it is
most piquant and charming, but length
and slenderness of throat are ALSO
lutely essential to successful wearing
OF such neck ornaments
High close collars of finely tucked
net or lingerie OF Of lace are cut down
In front and run up to exaggerated
height behind the ears and at the
back. The top Of such collar is
finished with a rather wide plated or
shirred frill, which stands cut around
the chin and droops more or less over
the collar

wider frill finishes the bottom of the
collar as well, the plating falling
downward over the blouse. Sometimes
narrow cravat is the bottom finish,
and this may be a narrow tie Of silk
or fine lawn or null, embroidered on
the ends and tying in dainty little
bow under the chin. The display of
accessories intended for ornamenting
of the bodice is unusually large and
varied this season, and the ingenious
woman should be able to freshen al
most any old frock-not too hopeless

/. A-t.tt.nM WALL o. Rock.


I
Az ~ cities of PcmpoH and Her
Na.can were discovered by digging
aw !! 10 the 4 ost prehistoric rock
"a. n The United Sates was discov-
e'ed in 1857 by a farmer who now
hyes in Rockwell, Tex, says the
New Orleans Picayune. But whether
n that portion which is surrounded by
this wall is Ponpeii or for what pur-
pose II was built has never been as
ccrained up to the present.
Here and there portions of the wall
ere exposed at distances of several
yards. Even in some places it is COW
cred up for a mile or two. One day
farmer, not knowing that the wall
Was there, dug well along the side
OF this wall 30 feel deep. Near the
bottom Of his well he discovered an
arched opening, which was two by
three feet. This opening has
been seen by several of the in
habilants of Rockwell, and it is be-
LEVIED this must have been used as
an entrance into the wall. The bot
tom Of the wall was not reached at a
depth OF 30 feet. This has been the
only orening ever found, because the
wal has never been exposed, except
last fall, when two young men of
rockwell dug about the wall five
feet in width and about the same in
depth. This gave one good idea of
the wall The rocks were nicely laid
with abridged joints in regular fash
ion, but the substance between them
was not mortar, but clay. A closer
examination reveals no sign of any
hard tool used upon the rocks, and
no doubt wooden mallets were used to
give them their sizes.
On the east side of the wall the
rock is smooth, while on the west it
is rough. They are all composed of
sandstone, with stleaks of mica and
pebbles Of iron. 1t is said that in the
surrounding regions no rock can be
found similar to this, except in the
chimneys and wells which the farm
,ers own
Inc rocks at the opening found are
from two to six feet long, three feet
wide and two feet thick. An effort
was maze to bring some of them to
the surface by the men who dug the
well, but they found the task too
difficult On top the rocks are much
smaller, running abou. is inches long
three inches thick and eight inches
wide The farmers claim that the
wall is about is miles long, and they
know exactly its course.
There. is no doubt that this is the
most prehistoric wall in the United
States, and so far as known, the Smith
sonian Institution of Washington, D. c.,
has never made any effort to ex-
pose the length and width of the
wall or give any explanation of its
origin

straight piece of material about IS
inches wide, sufficiently long to fall
from the shoulder to within eight
inches of the hem of the skirt, both
back and front. The edges are
hemned or bound with braid, and
over the shoulder three or four plaits
turning toward the arm are stitched
in it for the distance Of about six
inches.

MORPHINE
4 CURE

There are large number Of treat
ments and so-called cures being adj
veatised, but they are only substitutes,
as they contain morphine. opium, CO.
cain and other injurious habit-forming
drugs, and such treatments never
cure.
MANlNE is the only remedy or
medicine in the whole vide world to-
day that positively will cure that d.
seased condition of the nerve system
caused BY the use of morphine, lau-
danum or opium. The new discovery
MANlNE is not a substitute, but is an
honest remedy and cure, and does
not contain any morehne, opium, CO.
caine or other injurious habit-forming
drug.
Mr.. James Cain, Adams Station,

fifteen years, tried large numbea Of
treatments which proved TO be worth
less, was completely discouraged and
did not believe there was any hope

twenty-five years, and when com

Mr.. John c. Yost, Henry, w. Va,
says: 4 thank God that ! took your
remedy, MANINE, and hope every
person who discs morphine, laudanum
or opium will take it and be cured"
Mr.. j. S. Vinson, Dexter, Ga says:
q used morphine for sears, was using
over twenty grains daily, and was cur
ed by MANINE. tried many other
treatments but found MANINE to be
the only cure. 1t removes the cause
and completely destroys all craving or
necessity for the drug.
Mrs. Mile E, Smith, Sedalia, Ind,
says; Il used Morphine for twenty
years, tried all the treatments and was
finally cured with MANINE."
Mr.. John N. Shed, R. F. D. No. 3,

the drug for years, was using fifteen
grains per day, and was cured with
MANINE after all other treatments

TALL WOMEN IN FASHION.
Seasons Costumes Little Adapted fer

The thin woman has never been
given half chance. For the past Is

advertised to become stout, ard bought
all manner of things to trick the OBJ
Sc yer into believing she had a beau

And the thin girl just laughs. She
is having her innings.
The woman with a good figure can
not but rejoice at the hip yoke, which
has appeared in Paris and which is
being rapidly adopted elsewhere. The
hip yoke is very deep and it fits the
figure like a glove 1t is fastened in
yisibly at the back The skirt, which
is circular skirt, is fastened to it in
such manner that it shows the slight
est flare. Around the foot the skirt
is finished with a band of trimming
put on in wall of Troy design or in fiat
bands. The style is severe and the
trimming must also be severe. One of
the most original of the hip yolles was
fastened at the left. The skirt opened
down each side and was buttoned
with big buttons and buttonholes right
down the hem This was rather
trying style and certainly an ex-
IRENE, but it served the purpose of
introducing an original note in the
