EIectrocution of Rats Is Latest.

One OF the latest ideas for killing
rats is a trap into which the animal
walks, attracted by an electric Eight
and display of food. Once in he can
not get out and an electric current
kills him in 30 or 60 seconds. The
apparatus can be so arranged that the
electrocuted animal itself signals lis
fate to any desired place, advising
the Waterman by an electric bell o.
the lighting of an electric lamp tina.

GRocERS WORK LATE HERE.
Stores Are Open Until II or IL O'clock
On Saturday Nights.

The grocers OF Columbia probably
work later on Saturday night than
those of any other city in Central Mis-
souri,. 1t is not uncommon to find a
store open at II or even II O'Clock at
night. Delivery wagons loaded with
flour and baskets OF small groceries
leave Broadway stores as late as 1C
o'clock.
We have to do it, said a grocer
because so many people get their
pay on Saturday nights, and want
goods for Sunday"

CHURCH CROWD IS
GIVEN SCARE WHEN
STEAM EXPLODES
Pipe in Basement Breaks Just
as the Sermon Is
Begun.
SERVICES cURTAILED
BECAUSE OF COLD
No One Injured-New Heating
Apparatus is About to
Be Installed.

Several hundred members of the con-
gregation of st. Luke's Methodist Epis-
dopa1 Church, Clinton avenue and
Wright street, were startled by the ex-
plosion of a steampipe in the basement
while they were waiting for services to
begin yesterday morning.
The Rev. DIR. James NJ. Taber, pastor
of the church, was preparing to begin
his sermon at the time. The pipe which
exploded was an old one used In the
heating system of the church. It was
about nine feet long and four inches in
diameter. George w. Carpenter, sex
ton, had built up the fire under the
boilers and was in the basement at the,
time the pipe gave way under the
strain. While there was a great VOL
lime of escaped steam no one was in
jured.
The church quickly grew cold and DIR.
Taber was compelled to curtail the
services and disperse the congregation.
Because of the necessity of installing
new heating apparatus. no services will
be held in the church this week. ON
Tuesday night the regular prayer meet
ing will be held in the parsonage. Or.
Taber said he expected that the repairs
would be completed in time to permit
the regular services in the church next
Sunday.

SUICIDES MORALLY
DEFICIENT, SAYS
REV.. N. SHEPHERD
Says Increase in Self=destruc=
ti0n Shows Flaw in Ma
tiOnai Conscience.

us Life Worth Living was the
theme of the sermon of the Rev. Theo-
dore NJ. Shlpherd in the Belleville Ave
nue. Church yesterday morning.
Mr.. Shipherd opened by saying that
while he was an optimist and believed
very enthusiastically that life vas par
ticularly worth while in these days and
in this country, nevertheless it is a
duty TO keep the facts in mind and to
have optimism we'll backed by the facts
in the case.
IF the facts of suicide are to be
regarded as bearing the marks of truth,
Them he said, sit is incumbent upon
us to realize that the number of those
who say that life is not worth living in
the United States increases with a
marvellous rapidity a year. In 1890
the number of those who took their
own lives was 1882; in 1907 We had the
proud total of 10,7S2 suicides. When
we remind ourselves that for every one
who practises self-destructlon there are
hundreds who are turning such a pos
sibility over in their minds We realize
that a great unnumbered host of the
rich and the poor, the smal and the
ereat-all classes and conditions who
are asserting in unmistakable tones
that life is not worth while for them.
Every patriot is ashamed of the
facts, but the question is, what does
il mean? 1t means weakness and>re-
taxation of the moral fibre, and its
growing prevalence indicates that there
are causes at work which are slowly
sapping the forces of national char
acter."

SOCIALISM AND
CHURCH HAVE NOT
The SAME IDEALS
DR.. DenIinger Shows How the
Two Movements Have Moth
ing in Common.

The Rev. DR.. Denlinger. of the High
Street Presbyterian Church, speaking
on "The Relations of the Church to
Socialism, said in part:
Socialism is probably the most
striking movement in modern times.
It's marvellous growth and its au-
dacious ideal in d federated humanity
challenges attention. In a general way,
Socialism is a desire on the part of the
masses to have a share in the good
things of wealth and happiness. 1 sup
pose many of us find themselves, when
they take in the extremes of conditions,
the negotiable distribution of wealth,
the attack upon manhood\ through
failure TO get work, the stunted lives
of working children, the broken lives
of working women-many Of us, | say,
and | among them, find themselves
many times a year Socialists in senti-
ment. l mean by this we wish we
could change it all suddenly, at a
stroke get rid of the misery and dis
tress of the wirld. Then comes the
problem that sentiment gives to reason
and will-How? And here we are
divided. What is the relation of such
a movement to religion and the
church? aThe Christian church cannot
Identify Itself with this movement as
such, because the church represents a
movement that is infinitely greater.
Religion must not preach a social
manifesto. either to gain popularity or
through zeal for reform. She breaches
the gospel of redemption and eternal
life. She ministers to Socialists and
artf GAAsaIfarC fn DAn41 hffaano md
Democrats and labor union men. She
breaches a faith that helps men to
triumph over the ills of life.

TEXT
OF SERMON GIVEN
BY REV. DR.. INGL|S
Pastor of Third Presbyterian
Church Draws Moral from Cat
astrophe in Messina.

Before a large congregation the Rev.
DR.. Robert Scott Inglis in his evening
sermon at the Third Presbyterian
Church yesterday dwelt at length on
the earthquake in southern Italy. He
said it was no wonder that people ask
whether Providence has anything to do
with calamitles. The preachers tex
was l. King xix, II, The Lord was
not in the earthquake" DR.. Ingsis said
in part;
I'VE cannot understand the per
mission of calamity, but we can
find more reason in recognizing Provi-
dence in it thar denying it. The
calamity is real, whether we recognizes
God or not. There is no relief in deny
nag Him. There is relief in recognizing
Him and His power and that He moves
in larger circles than we can see or
measure. and that He moves even
through fire and sword and pestilence
and calamity to some far-off divine
event to which the whole creation
moves. Jesus said: Believe in God.
In my Fathers house are many man.
sions.
I'VE hold with Jesus and believe the
thing to do is to wait for the time
coming when we shall see how all
Gods plans are right. Sometimes.
doubtless, He uses calamities for His
own imposes. Jesus said to the Jews:

WALL STREET NOTES.

Uptown Sentiment-There was on

speculative interests before the open

market would follow the course of the
London market for American stocks.
While it was admitted by those who
have been in sympathy with the up
ward movement during early trading
the market might be somewhat irregu-
lar, they express the opinion that the
recession would not be pronounced and
that the general trend will be toward
higher prices. tits expected that the
small spectators win be more or less
disturbed by the indication of higher
rates for money. but it is learned that
the larger Speculative interests have
not been disposed to sell stocks as yet
in anticipation of a substantial furry
