NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-The United

ed States army, retired, a member OF
the Christian Socialist fellowship. He
says:
When the remark of the millionaire
that the army would crush out Social
ism was put to a number of his brother
officers, dozen of them jumped up and
declared emphatically that it was not
the purpose of the army to put down
Socialism, and that it was designed
solely to put down instruction or riot
They said that when the Socialists
came into power the army would be
used to preserve peace and order

Churches Charged with NegIecting

CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-The carpenters
district council will in a few days issue
a report of a special investigation into
the causes and extent of poverty in
the city.
Some of the charges to be made are
that churches are neglecting the indus
trial masses; that the clergy are in
society, politics and reform, while or
ganized charity is compelled to do the
work the churches are neglecting; that
charity organizations are assuming to
themselves work that the law provides
should be done by the proper public
officials, and are paying in salaries and
office expenses as much as 35 cents on
every dollar collected to feed and clothe
the poor
The expenditure of money for i'm
proving social conditions that should go
TO feed the hungry and clothe the naked
is severely criticised.

Oscar Oleson, carpenter aged 80 years,
living at 727 Central avenue, was thrown
beneath the wheels of southbound Central
avenue car No. 444 at midnight last night.
Both his legs were crushed off at the knees
Oleson attempted to alight from the car
at the intersection of Sixth street and Cen
trail avenue while it was still in motion He
slipped and fell, and the rear truck passed
over his legs. He was taken to the re-
ceiving hospital where Doctors Quint,
Bonynge and Cook amputated both legs.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT VICTORY
FOR THE CARTER MEDICINE
COMPANY IN THE UNITED
STATES COURT.

The United States Circuit Court for
the Southern District of New York
sitting in New York City-has just
awarded to the Carter Medicine Com
pany decree which again sustains
the company's exclusive right to use
the red package for liver pills.
By the terms of the decree, 1t is,
among other things:
Adjudged that the Carter Medicine
Company is the owner Of the sole and
exclusive right to the use of red col
ored wrappers and labels upon said
ksmall, round packages of liver pills of
the style described in the bill of COM
plant; said right having been ac-
quired by the prior adoption of said
style and color of package for liver
pills by the complainant predecessors
more than thirty years ago, and es-
tablfshed by the continuous and ex-
elusive use OF the same in constantly
increasing quantities by said prede-
cessors and by the complainant. the
Carter Medicine Company. itself. from
the time Of their said adoption until
the present day. + =

The motor has already effected .
great change in that respect and II

to the land nothing in the shape O..

make cultivation q little more .ex

OF all this. there is no reason to be
lieve that agriculture Is entering on
period Of depression. On the con
trary. 1t Is emerging steadily from the
dullness that has characterized 1t fol
more than quarter OF century. The
present disappointment arises only
from the extravagant hopes raised II
the early part Of the year. The
general record is one of steady i'm
provement; but whether prices go up
or down In a climate such as ours. an
occasional bad season will always
have to be reckoned with. The pres
ent year. taking It altogether. has
been unfavorable to the cultivation o.
the soil. Yet 1t will be noticed tha'
there are very few farms to let. and
that land usually brings satisfactory
price In the market. For this we have
to thank mainly that great crowd
wheat consumers which has arisen in
the east and created q demand tina
the supply does no more than satisfy
At present and that IL continually

Further. there is continuously going

sumers and an improvement in the
standard Of living, two influences
which in combination tend towards
the yielding Of a greater return by
food products.

TRAVELLING SPEED or BIRDS
Their Flight Now Known to Be Much
Slower Than Has Been Gen.
orally Supposed.

A writer on birds says: IF you
consult the usually accepted authori.
ties on the speed of birds in their
flight you are likely to be misled by
an exaggeration Of from 100 to 300
per cent. This Is because figures
have been given on hearsay. appear
ance and very superficial observation.
But recently American. English and
French observers have been compar-
ing notes. and are practically agreed.
after most careful calculation. on the
speed of the best-known birds. They
started with the carrier pigeon and
have made him a base Of comparison.
He has heretofore been credited with
ITO miles an hour, but 1t Is now
agreed that he is entitled to SO. A
long distance, carefully conducted
test of 500 miles, from the Shetland
islands to London, showed that the
most rapid pigeons made 81 miles an
hour. On shorter distances none
made more than so miles. Because
frigate birds have been seen far from
land, and have been supposed not
to fly by night or to rest on the wa
ter, they have been credited with q
speed Of from $50 to 200 miles an
hour. II they did fly at that speed
they would have to overcome an at
mospheric pressure Of from 112 to
1870 pounds to the square foot of fly.
ing surface. There is no certainty
that they fly more rapidly than a pas
senger pigeon or that they do not fly
at night or do not sleep on the wa
ter. The swallow that is indeed
rapid flyer. has been credited with
$50 miles an hour. but he must be
cut down to IS miles. and the martin
is five miles behind him. though au-
thorities have placed him ten ahead"

Tor the federals as one OF the most ex-

but 1t was so weak and desuItory n a

firing line saw and realized that the posi-

taken with very little effort. The men
arrived at this conclusion about the Same

One Of the things that surprised ali
OF us was h fact that General Bragg's
line Of battle on the ridge top was only
three deep. He had taken his entire army
and strung 1t out over q length OF Il
miles or more down the backbone OF Mis-.

and ends in Georgia. Had he covered
less territory and concentrated his men
at several points along the ridge the re-

ferent, but as IT was this thin line was
no match for the regiment that swept
up the hill against them. The only OBJ
stacle that we met was a number Of trees
which the confederates had cut down with
