GETTING IN

jim Raycraft arrived home last
night with big auto, and thereby
hangs a tale.
jim Raycraft's father, his brothers
and his nephews have been in the
livery and teaming business for half
century in this county and in the
districts south of this city. Whenever
man or company of men wanted
to get to Bodie quickly. or any of the
southern camps and wanted to get
there as soon as possible, some Ray
craft has been called upon for hors-
es and has furnished the best horse.
flesh to be had.
One of the Raycrafts has always
driven the best stock between Bodie
and Reno, if net in Nevada and their
stables up and down the east slope
Of the Sierras are known all over the
Pacific coast.
Now Jim has anenXed an auto SO
fine stock and his business extends
over the same old district but so
many calls have been made upon him
for quick transportation, quicker ev-
en- than team at the rate of 10 miles
an hour that Raycraft, forgetting the
old traditions has gone and done it.
has bought big car that lie will op-
crate in connection with his team
Ing and livery business. If this car
does not do the work or has too
mucn 10 do he will get another and
a bigger one.
The car that arrived last night,
is Studebaker, Jim made that con-
cessiOn to old times, Studebaker
made his buggies for him and for his
father, so he keeps right on with the
old firm and buys an auto of that
make. The machine is ready for
service.

Oct. "a, 1903,
! have passed delightful Sabbath in
the city of Fouchal, Madeira Islands on
this October day. the oath of the month.
Roses are in bloom, white geraniums'
fuschias, heliotropes and numberless flow
ers add to the beauty of day which is
made perfect by a balmy sunshine
After visiting the cathedral and several
of the smaller Catholic churches, 1 went
at IL o'clock to the Methodist mission,
where. it had been announced that an
address would be made by Rev. Francis
Z. Clark, president of the Christian En-
deavor society of the world. Walking
through public garden of semi-tropical
plants, where attractive walks wound
through palms and flowers and fountains,
1 came to the place where missionary
work is being carried on in Madeira.
The chapel was small, but scrupulously
clean. The benches were plain; in place
of a pulpit was a raised platform con-
tanning a table covered with nice green
table cover. upon which stood vases OF
fresh flowers.
Services in Two Languages
The walls were without decoration of
any kind, but Immaculate in whiteness.
Back of the pulpit in large letters in
red in Portuguese: Jesus e o nosso Sal

and on the side wall: Jesus disse, EN-
sou a Luz du Monde" Jesus said, Il am

ton was about half Portuguese and half
American, nearly all the Americans being
visitors from among the tourists then In

be a presiding elder or superintendent for
the island. had charge of the exercises

lish for the Portuguese, and what was
said in Portuguese for the English
speaking people.
The scripture reading was found in the
first 16 verses of the third chapter of st.
John, the well-known passage in regard
to Nicodemus, and was read in Portu-
guese. Tile fifth verse was as follows:
Jesus responder: Ma verdade, ma YER
dade, te digo que aquelle que mao nascer
da aqua do espirito mao pode entrar no
RENO de Deus
Then followed a song, three lines OF
which are recalled:
"Chisto tie chama. Christie te chama,
Tu me salvaste, es meu Senior,
Alleluia! Tau graca fmporamos. Amen. -
Christ is calling you, Christ is calling
you.
Thou dost save me, Thou art my Lord.
Halleluia! Thy grace we implore. Amen).
Next followed short, simple, earnest
talk by Rev Francis E. Clark, known all
around the world for his work as founder
of the Christian Endeavor movement; the
speaker stopped after each paragraph
for his words to be interpreted in Portu-
guese.

THE ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE
By Frederic j. Haskin

league. From every state in the union
the league workers will report victory
in the majority of battles in which the
organization has engaged. Twenty-three
governors of states. half of all the gov
ernOrs in the Union, are committed IN
part or in whole to the support Of the
league. Mores than half the people OF
the United States live in prohibition ter
ritory, and a great deal more than hait
of the land area of the country is dry,
50 far as the legal sale of alcoholic bev-
erages is concerned. During the two years
.nce the last meeting of the national
eague the organization has won pohu-
cal victories of one sort and anotner
in every state, and in the whole country
has won more than three-fourths of the
fights in which it has engaged.
A striking feature of the propaganda OF
the organization is that, in its fight QK
the saloons, it devotes more argument ~
the economic and political phases OF the
question than to the so-called moral IS
sues. The evils resulting from the control
of political machines by the saloons, and
the economic losses involved in the bus
mess are dwelt upon, while there is not
nearly so much said about "drunkards
and horrible examples"
Thus far the league has done very little
in national politics. 1t has been fighting
for certain federal legislation, and has
put congress on notice that it must SOON
er or later deal with the question of pro-
hibition for the District of Columbia II
the league should take up an active cam
paign in favor of the proposed legisla-
ton by which congress resigns to the
states the right to regulate interstate
shipments of liquors. then the fight win
become national. At this time the lead
as TO whether or not the time has come
to enter the national field as an agrees
sive political force.
Interests opposed to the Anti-saIoon
league, and organizations fighting 1t in
politics, are confident that the league is
at the high-tide of it's power and influ-
ence. It is believed that an era Of reac-
ton will follow the prohibition wave, and
that the saloons will come back to the
towns from whence they have been driv-
en-, The leaguers declare that the hopes
of the opposition are groundless, and
that the league is stronger and more po-
tent today than ever before
Whether one believes in prohibition or
not, whether one believes in su1nptuary
legislation or not, whether one believes
that blind tigers are worse than licens-
ed saloons or not, whatever one may be-
lieve with relation to the issues revolv-
ing about the saloon. the meeting of the
National Anti-Saloon league in Chicago
is fraught with interest to every Ameri-
can.
