CHLRCHES ARE IN
PROSPEROUS CONDITION

Washington, Sept. 2S.-Muckrakers
who seem to be preparing to assail the
churches, will find little material
and less inspiration in the religious
census recently completed by the
census bureau. The report brings
its statistics to the close Of 1906, the
last previous census of the same kind
having been made in 1890.
During the sixteen years, the pop
ulation of the continental United
States increased 33.S per cent; but in
the number Of communicates or
church members there was an increase
of 60.4 per cent; in the number of
church edifices, an increase of 1913
per cent; and in the value of church
property an increase OF 85.1 per cent.
In 1890 the reported church member
ship represented 1927 per cent Of the
total population, in 1906, 39.1 per
cent. The proportion Of ministers to
churches is larger now than in 1890,
indicating. that churches are more
adequately served than they formerly
were and suggests that the ministry
is by no means decadent calling.

is a connection of numerous roads

so that in a short time a continuous

GIRL DRESSED AS
BOY WINS FORTUNE

Council Bluffs.-Miss Frederick
Adams, a pretty 1S-year-old girl, is
today wearing skirts for the first
time. She has heretofore worn boys
costume and been known as a boy.
The girl, whose home Is near Sioux
City, walked into police headquarters
here and said she was Il girl. The
police sergeant behind the desk rub
bed his eyes, took a steady look, sig
nailed to two patrolmen and said:
Handle him gently; it's either sun
stroke or plain lunacy." Miss Ad-
ans became indignant and repeated
that she was girl.
1t took short investigation to es-
tablsh the fact that the callers name
is Miss Frederick Adams. The young
woman was christened Frederick in
Plainfield, N. j., at the direction of
her father, who died shortly before
her birth. The man wished for a
son, for the reason that boy meant
the winning of a large fortune. A
relative stipulated in his will that If
a boy was born to the Adamses the
fortune would go to him when he
reached his majority, but that If
girl was born the estate would be
distributed among other relatives.
The posthumous child was girl, and
with the object of gaming the inher-
itance deception was practiced. The
baby girl was called Frederick and
was raised as boy.
after father died mother took me
to farm near Council Bluffs" said
the girl. We live there yet, and I
ran away. l have never been permit
ted to be a girl When I was a child
waited to play with dolls, but my
mother made me play with tops and
tin soldiers. I was turned out with
boys and was forced to take part in
their rough games. I had to fight
with my fists and play marbles and
baseball, and when / couldn't help
crying the boys booed me and called
me Sissy and told me to go home
to my mothers apron strings"
The police were puzzled, but final
ly decided to take her before a mag
istrate. In court Miss Adams repeat
ed her story and the judge remand
ed her in the care of the matron un-
til her mother arrives from Council
Bluffs. The matron dressed the girl
in feminine attire, and in her first
attempt to walk she tripped in the
skirt and went full length on the
York Journal.

Praise for Western Apple.

Boston, Sept. 2S.-One Of the strik.
ing instances of Western hustle last
year was the international apple ex.
position held at Spokane, it was or
ganized for the purpose of advertis-
ing the fruit lands Of the Inland EN-
pire and 1t undoubtedly attained Its
object. 1t was perhaps the finest ex-
hibition Of this standard fruit ever
made in this country or the world
But 1t is gratifying to know that New
England does not propose to surren-
der a monopoly Of that distinction to
the Northwest. The New England
apple show, scheduled for this city
next month, is due to attract large
interest.
