DEATH TAKES DIR. H. W. THOMAS
Founder Of the Peoples Church, Chi
cago, Expires in Florida.

Founder Of the Peoples Church, Chi
Expires in Florida.
One of Chicago's most noted clergy
men of days one by has been claim
ed by death. The Rev. Hiram w.
Thomas died Thursday night at De
Funiak Springs, Fla, where he had
lived recently because Of his feeble
health. The body was taken to chi
cago for burial. Jenkin Lloyd Jones
of All Souls Church conducted the fu-
neral services.
Dr.. Thomas ranked with Prof. Da-
vid Swing as one Of the most noted
preachers of the West when both were
tried and convicted of heresy nearly a
generation ago. Theological opinions
have changed since then and many or
thodox clergymen now accept ana
preach the same doctrines which
caused the expulsion Of Thomas and
Swing from their respective denomi-
nations.
After the expulsion of DR.. Thomas
from the Methodist Episcopal Church
in 1879, he established the undenoml-
national Peoples Church, which held
regular services in McVicker's Thea
ter. In 1901 he resigned as pastor
and was succeeded by the Rev. Frank
Crane.
Hiram Washington Thomas was
born in Hampshire County, Va, on
April 30, 1882. He was converted at
the age of IS and at once began to
prepare to become a clergyman. He
took a private course of study and af-
forwards attended Cooperstown Acad-
envy and Berlin College. He came West
and joined the Iowa conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church in 1856,
having married Miss Emmeline G.
Merrick of Pennsylvania the proceed
ing year. For three years he was
chaplain of the Iowa ~penitentiary,
which position he left to become pas

tor of Park Avenue Methodist Episco-
pal Church in Chicago in 1869. Later
he was pastor consecutively of First
Methodist Episcopal Church, Chicago,
First Church at Aurora and Centen-
airy Church, Chicago. While pastor
of this church he was accused and
convicted of heresy.
His first wife died on Jan. 5, 1896.
They had seven children, the only sur
viving one being DR.. Homer w. Thorn
as Of Chicago. Early in 1899 the Rev.
DR.. Thomas met Miss Vandalia Var
num-, a lecturer on liberal religion and
ethics. They married several months
later, and she was ordained soon af-
forwards as assistant pastor Of Peo-
pies Church.

2A miles, carry the grain to the gran
airy on the quay.
ROW THE PRISONER IS

2A miles, carry the grain to the gran
airy on the quay.
When the new twenty-dollar gold
piece was issued, in 1907, a critic OF
the design on the coins asked, who
aver saw an eagle in flight with its
legs trailing behind it," This touches
upon a question hat has often been
debated, but Dr.. c. w. Townsend
thinks that the designer was right and
the critic wrong. All birds Of prey,
he says, habitually carry their legs be-
hind in flight, except when about to
strike their quarry. Water-birds also
fly with their legs extended behind,
and pheasants, grouse and other GALL
uaceous birds do the same thing as
soon as they are we'll under way. But
the Passeres or perching birds, such
as English blackbirds, sparr0ws, rob-
ms. ravens rocks, crows and swallows,
when in flight carry their legs drawn
up in front. The habit of humming-
birds is uncertain, although some have
been photographed carrying their legs
IN front.
At half past seven o'clock on the
evening Of Feb. % a fire-ball passed
over Southern England, producing
what W. F. Denning says may be call
ed the meteoric spectacle of a genera
tion.' The meteor varied in bright
ness and in color as 1t shot along. It's
visible course was about 1875 miles in
length, and its velocity twenty miles
per second. During It's flight the ele-
walton decreased from sixty to about
twenty-six miles. When about half its
fight had been performed it seemed
to explode, but the principal mass on
tinued onward after the ouburst. At
the point where the seeming explosion
occurred a short luminous streak was
left, and this Immediately intensified
and extended backward along the
whole track. It became bent and dis
torted, and remained visible for two
hours. At the end Of it's flight the
meteor turned abruptly in its course,
and fragments shot earthward. Then
the trail bent eastward and extended
rapidly in a horizontal direction.

pillows nights and dreaming IN them
to see who they are going to MARI.
There is an old saying, yea ! ow.
that marriage is a lottery. and ilom
what my sisters tell me about the
modern way of dreaming on wedding
cake should say that marriage is now
a greater lottery than ever.
1T seems that the custom once was
to put the cake under your pillow
three nights in succession, and then
the man you dreamed of two out Of
the three nights was to be your future
husband. That was the old, the sim.
pie way, before things had taken on
their modern present-day elaborate
complications. In these days dream
ing on wedding cake appears to be
carried on like this:
"You take seven little slips Of paper
and on each Of six of these you write
the name of a sutton, leaving the
seventh slip blank. So here you have
six slips with names on and one blank
slip, and now without looking at them
you mix these slips all up together, sol
you won't know which is which,.
and then you put all seven slips to-
gether in an envelope.
"By this modern method of dream.I
Ing on wedding cake, with the envel.
ope system, you dream on the cake,
seven nights in succession, and In the
morning Of each following day you
draw a slip from the envelope, and
the last slip left in the envelope after
the seventh nights dreaming indicates
your fate; If it's got a name on, Why
that's the mar you are going to mar
~; II It's the blank slip, why, then
you are going to be an old maid."-'

A MILITARY PROBLEM.
Necessary to Reduce to the Minimum
Transportation Wagons

One of the most troublesome of prob
lens besetting experts who have tc
do with military strategy is in reduc.
ing to the minimum those features
In military equipment hat retard
progress. 1t is a constant resistance
on the part of military people to dis
courage additions to the transport
branch and still take advantage of
whatever is offered that promises to
be really useful and increase the fight
ing power of soldiers in war.
It is with the idea of this prudent
selection that experiments have been
conducted by the War Department
with various types of vehicle that offer
the advantage of better and more Ger.
tain supply, writes ]. E. jerks.
Besides the new haversack ration OF
timed bacon and hard bread, with it's
tablets of coffee, sugar and salt and

tary force on the hike may now have
its freshly baked bread, it's steaming
hot soup or stew, and it's palatable
meats and vegetables, without build
ing a camp fire and warming canned
edibles. This will be accomplished BY
various types Of army wagons which
will accompany the column In proper
ton to It's needs. There is, for in
stance, the soup cart, an idea borrow
ed from the Russians, a huge tureen

mean so much to our army as 1t does
to the Russians and other European
armies where there is Individual cook
ing. Then, there is the rolling oven,
In which a fire is burning as the vehi.

the bread baked ready for issue when

Allied to the subsistence vehicles Is
the water wagon. This Is a tank con.

men have access by means Of faucets

should be protected from the dangers
Of drinking impure water and, In un.
