Maize Mooney Drowned.

| Last Sunday afternoon the body Of Miss
Maize Mooney, Of this city, was found in
Big Timber creek, at the fifth telephone
pole from Newbold shore, on the trolley
road trussle.
Miss Mooney was grand-neics of the
late Samuel String, and resided with her
mother on Chestnut street, First Ward.
She was a dress maker, an active worker in
the First Baptist Church, and held in high
esteem throughout the community. She
has not been in good health for a year, and
ten weeks ago, on adyice Of her physician,
went to Steelton, Pa, where she has many
relatives.
Last Saturday she went TO the railroad
station to meet some friends, but who did
not arrive. A Philadelphia train coming
along, she boarded it, and later telegraphed
her friends she was going home for few
days. On Saturday evening Mrs. Dan'l
Cloud saw her on a Chestnut street ferry
boat. Miss.MoaneY, instead Of recognizing
her neighbor, walked to the other end Of
the boat. After midnight Saturday night
the pastor of the Newbold Episcopal Church,
returning from fishing trip, saw a strange
woman wandering about near the trolley
trestle. From his description it was Miss
Mooney. She said she lived in Woodbury.,
but refused to give her name, saying she
did not want any one TO know she was
here He offered to lake her to his home,
where his wife would care for her, but she
refused.
When found the body was erect, near to
the knees in mud He clothing was not
disarranged, aud it is thought she jumped
off the trestle, and was covered at high
tide, though no water was found in her
lungs. Whether she died from fright or
exposure is not known.
The funeral took place to-day, with in
terment in Eglington.

ped drinking ana improved very much in
his life. The Home Department has been
a blessing to many people who cannot go
ont Of doors. 4 Fisit tom the Home De-
partment visitor is looked forward to with
very much pleasure and comfort.
George w. Hughes followed with very
interesting talk on Home Department. He
said that in the past the sunday-school was
confined to the four walls Of the church,
now it is coniaed to the whole parish. A
Sunday school is not complete in its organ
ization unless it has Home Department..
c. a. Brown, County Secretary and
Treasurer, addressed the meeting on the
organized Adult Bible Glass and Teacher
Training. He first gave the purpose Of the
International, State and Couaty Association
work. He said that it is organized to i'm
prove and increase the efficiency Of all Plo-
testant Sunday The work Of the
Association is cooperative, educational and
evangelistic. 1t aims to help every school
and every officer and teacher to obtain in
formation and instruction, such as will bet
fer fit them for work in winning their schol-
ars to Jesus.
The need of to-day is plan to hold she
young men and young women in our
schools. The organized class IS meeting
this need. Boys like to be men, girls like to
be women. They Ike to do the things
they see their parents do. They like to
hold Office; they ike organization: they
like to be somebody, and be doing some-
thing He finds fellowship in its organized
class. Our President as the White House,
says this: "To do something for the aver
age man, it is necessary 10 begin before he
is man. The chance Of success lies in
working with the boy and not the man. I"
There are eight million young men in
America, and only 40, 900 attend our church
es, while seven million and six hundred
thousand are everywhere else on the Lord Is
Day. We need the Organized Bible Glass.
There are many reasons for organizing; one
principal reason is that it takes advantage
OF the club instinct so strong in boys Of the
teen age. It PROVIDES for the boys needs Of
social life and develops it along best lines.
He learns business methods, and above all,
be learns to feel an allegiance for his Sun
day-scho and church which will bind him
there during the more mature years.
The subject Of training oul teachers is a
very prominent one. There are eight times
more Sunday y-school teachers than public
school teachers in our county, and what
greater work they could do il they we're all
trained for the tasks Of training Their
scholars to Jesus and building Christian
character Our Summer School Of Meth
ods at Asbury Park is an excellent place te
get some Of the training, and another place
is teachers training class in each school.
The following officers were elected =:
President, Rev. s. T. Horner, Of Hurfsille
vice president, Fred. Bateman ,oi Grenloch
secretary, R Howell Tice,of Williamstown

sented.

Mad Doa at WIIIIamstOEn.

William Miller, well known farmer
near Williamstown, about two weeks ago
saw his dog chasing bull around the field
and occasionally biting it. Finally the bull
became enraged and tossed the dog in the
air. Mr.. Miller got the dog, and while
caring for it was bitten on the finger, but
paid 10 particular attention TO il until the
DOG showed symptoms Of being mad and
finally died. Then the bull began 80 show
signs Of being mad and died. In the mean
time the dog had bitten nephew of Mr..
Miller, by the name of Stanley Hewitt,
boy of about fourteen years. Miller and
the Hewitt boy are now at New York, be-
ing treated at the Pasteur Institute Geo.
Sykes, a hrother-in-law of Miller, assisted
in caring for the dog and got some froth in
sore. The affair has so worked on his
mind that he isdown with nervous prestra-
tlon. Much sympathy is expressed for
them, as they are just in the midst Of farm
ing.

HOW THEY WILL RAISE 1T.

OF course a matter of two or three
hundred million dollars is not such a
sum as is likely to cause Uncle Sam
to shut up his governmental shop at
Washington, although such a matter,
especially when it is in the nature of
a deficit. is likely to have at least
some influence on legislative action.
In the annual report of Secretary of
the Treasury George B. Cortelyou,
which has just been public, the Sec
rotary calmly announces that the es-
timated expenses of the government
for the next fiscal year are just $114,-
100000 more than the revenue likely
to be derived from existing laws"
and for the fiscal year 1910 just $143,-
100000 more than the revenue in
sight.
The administrations only apology
for this great prospective deficit is
contained in the secretary's bland
statement that he has mo means of
knowing what will be the amount Of
the appropriations at the coming ses-
siOn,' or what will "be the ultimate
effect upon internal revenue collec-
tons of certain moral and economic
movements which seriously affect
these sources of revenue"
In the face of the secretary's guess
that the country will run some $751;
100000 behind in the next two years
with prospects of further losses in
revenue due to the prohibition move
ment-is it little wonder that those
who hope for tariff reduction realize
ha Nv clio,
thread?
1t does not take a soothsayer to
guess that every demand for a real
reduction in the tariff will be met by
the statement that the government
cannot get along without the money
and that the tariff will have to stay
put until some other scheme of rails
ing revenue is devised.
For instance, Mr.. Cortelyou Voices
this theory when he says:
The new administration is pledged
to a fair and equitable revision of the
tariff. The necessities of the govern
ment should be a guide, at least in
part, to the measure and character of
this revision. Data recorded in this
report tell their own story If the de-
HcleHcleS Tedcn anything like the Hg-
ures given, ample provision must pc
made to provide adequate revenue.
The earnest consideration of the con-
gress is especially urged to this phase
of the subject"
OF course the administration may
reduce the expenses of the govern
ment-but did you see any such rec
concentrations in Mr.. ROOSeVelt'S mes
sage to congress?
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1908-12-10

reports coming in are to the effect
that it is being received with great
enthusiasm, and that it is doing phe-
nomenal business Miss Shaw is re-
ceiving much praise for her strong
impersonation of the character of Vera
Treleven, and Robert LaWler and Cor
don Mendelssohn have each made
personal hits in their respective roles.
The other members of the company
are Walter Horton, Adelaide Fitz-Al-
len Lillian Rhodes, Marie Ingersoll
and James Thornley,. The massive
ness of the production and the ele-
gance of the stage accessories have
been the subject of remark from all
sides. The press performance in Chi
cago, was attended by distinguished
audience. Burns Mantle, dramatic edi-
tor of the, Chicago Tribune, says: "The
Rev. Mr.. Knott harbors the soul of a
poet. His play indicates a facility in
authorship and dramatic construction"

little Johnny jones'"

Little JOHNNY Jones' comes to the
KeylOr Grand theater December Is,
when doubtless the legion of followers
of that most popular of all musical
comedies will wear the smile that will
not be eradicated, for of a surety no
jollier, snappier, or more rib tickling
play has visited the classic precincts
of this village for many a day. George
M. Cohan has succeeded in evolving
musical comedy with a real plot,
and there is just enough love interest
in Little Johnny Jones" to keep the
folks who lean towards the sentimental
side of life in a delightfully."- preoc-
cupied condition.
Song hits galore are found in Lit
tie Johnny jones' Startling situa-
tons are found in Little Johnny
Jones" A chorus who are never idle
is found in Little Johnny Jones', and
through it all stalks 1.-THE Unknown,
who says everybody in the world has
got a mean disposition because they
do not countenance his convivial views
of life. This unique character must
be seen to be appreciated. 1t is a
classic in so far as musical comedy is
concerned.

THE TARIFF STEAL.

Charles Francis Adams in a letter
to Congressman Mccall, sarcasticalIy
calls himself a tariff thief with a Ii
cense bearing the broad seal of the
United States, and known as the
'Dingley tariff" to steal. He says: 81
stole under it yesterday; l am stealing
under it today; l propose to steal I'M
der it tomorrow. The government has
forced me into the position. and | both
do and shall take full advantage of it.
am, therefore, a tariff thief, with
license to steal. And-what are YOU
going to do about it?'
The committee on ways and means
is getting largely the protected man.
ufacturers side of the case: the consul
mers are widely scattered and disor-
ganized; the rank and file of them are
workingmen and people of limited
means, who do not feel the direct
pinch of the taxes from the tariff. and
to whom the question of how the gov
eminent gets the money to pay it's
bills is largely a mystery. Working
men cannot afford to pay car fares and
expense to Washington to protest
against the present tariff rates, al
though the large part of it comes from
their pockets in the long run.
1t is the little driblets that make
up the tariff graft. If a corporation
can squeeze five cents each from every
individual in the United States it
means 100000 Or per cent on an
$S0,000,000 capitalization, which is
not to be sneezed at. The excess in
the cost of food, clothes, ETC., paid by
every family in the United States be-
cause of the tariff is estimated to be
500 year, which is five cents multi
piled 1000 times.
When Mckinley came into office in
1896, the per capita cost of running
the nation was $6.1S which under
Roosevelt has increased to 1886. When
you say it quickly this $2.6S increase

are that the World will find an ans
wer to this rather interesting question
In the language of the extremely
conservative Associated Press, "the
World apparently refutes beyond
doubt the recent statement Of Presi-
dent Roosevelt that the United States
did not pay one cent of the 100000
900 to any American citizen" and in
telligent readers will agree with the
World that Mr.. Roosevelt's recently
published letter on the subject was
full of fragrant untruths and reeking
with misstatements."
That the president should find it
necessary to endeavor to mislead the
public in this case, and be so careless
as to make statements SO much in
contradiction to what the public al
ready knows about the matter Jocks
bad on the face of things, and leads
many people to believe that Mr.. ROose-
welt is entitled to the privileges Of
charter membership in that famous
Club he brought into existence

THAT CANAL SCANDAL.

The conviction seems to be settling
in the minds of many people that
when the true history of the negotia-
lions for the purchase of the holdings
of the old French canal company is
Written-if it is ever Written-the page
will show black, unspeakably black.
The New York World has asked and
continues to ask what became of the
$40000,000 the United States govern
ment paid for the rights of the old
French company, and what became Of
the $$10,O00,0O0 which the United
States spent to finance the Panama

asks, and sooner or later the chances
