II. W. c. A. worlds works Meeting.

"A. meetings OF the season LOOK place
In the Peddie Memorial Baptist
Church yesterday, with the World
Work. as the general subject. Miss
Maya Das, of Lahore, India, a grad
uate OF Mount Holyoke College, and
q student in the association training
school in New York, who is planning to
return shortly to India as a national
: secretary, wa the principal speaker.
She told of present conditions in In

few years ago.
1T has been the custom for centuries
for TO marry when only chill
~dren,'' she said. They were brought
UP in ignorance. Men would teach
them nothing. Now things are changed.
The men themselves are striving to
educate their wives ard children. They
arealiye that this must be done before
India can show itself to be a nation.
But they resent and oppose Christian
Qity. n though the missionaries do ex-
cellent work mo them, it is impossl-
bic for them to realize the strength
and reasons Of their p~rejudices. Their
salvation lies in sending their own chill
dren into the world, and letting them
come back to teach.'
s Miss Harriet Taylor, executive sec
rotary of the Worlds Work, who has
just returned from South America, told
of the work in that and other coun-
tries. touching principally upon Japan
and China. Mrs. Addison E. Poland,
the yice-president of the association,
spoke of the local work, making a plea
for more earnest endeavor to raise the
amount necessary to begin the new
building. Progress SO far has been very
slow, she declared. An informal tea
concluded the afternoon. Mrs. Rich

in the chair.

FORTUNE FOR A NURSE.
NE Compromises with Contesting Heirs
to Avoid Litigation.

" 7FVAu 1At4sdt4uu.
The suit to set aside the win of Abra-
lam Stephens of Weston, ILL.,, came to an
unexpected ending in the circuit court at
bloomington, when the principals an
nounced that they had agreed upon a
Compromise. BY the terms of the com
oronise the compliments who were
practically ignored in the will are to re-
seive $50, 800 Of the 100000 left by the
lestator. 1t developed that Stephens
wrote NO less than three wills, all prac-
EcaIly the same, and if the first to he
nrobated was broken the next could be
unlimited, and If that, too, was declared
invalid, there remained the third. Thus
assuring endless litigation at enormous
expense. Rather than see the fortune
divided among lawyers, the heirs decid-
ed to compromise. Mrs. Chapman, the
nurse, loses heavily by the compromises
and she will receive but $4,000 instead
IL the $S4 900 specified in the will. Abra-
ham Squires of st. Joseph, No, and
Fred Squires of Savannah, Mo- viii
receive twice their original legacy. or
respectively $4,000 and $4,000 each.

MORE COOK PROOF.
Rasmussen Has Talked With Eskimos
and Is Convinced

Copenhagen, Oct 20.-The Green
land steamer Godthaab. in command
of Captain Schoubye, has arrived here.
Captain Schoubye reports that Knude
Rasmussen, the explorer, who is now
in Greenland after examining thirty
five Cape York Eskimos who had seen
DR.. Cooks Eskimo companions. is
quite convinced that DR.. Cook reached
the pole.
He says that Rasmussen is willing
to go to the United States with the
two Eskimos, Itukishoo and Ahwelah
who were DR.. Cooks sole companions
in the latter part of his expedition
Rasmussen however. the captain
states, had not himself seen the two
Eskimos, who are now hunting.
Rasmussen's wife and father have
both received letters from him giving
details obtained from the Eskimos.
These are practically the same as DR..
Cooks story.

Julius Kruttschnitt Calls Attention

New York. Oct. 20.-Julius Krutt-

maintenance of the Union Pacific,
Southern Pacific and allied interests,
declares that, according to the BUSH
ness of the companies with which he
is connected, the traffic movement of
the country is now greater than it
ever was before.
Our reports said Mr.. Krutt-
schnitt today, show traffic for Oc-
tober of this year will considerably
exceed that of October. 1907, when it
had reached its high-water mark. We
have not yet reduced it to terms of
percentage, but sufficient data are now
in hand to substantiate my statement.
This is an indisputable sign that
the country has fully recovered from
the industrial and financial depres-
sion that followed the disastrous pam
ic of two years ago. Moreover, it
shows beyond a doubt that everybody
is at work, and that our marvellous
productive capacity has resumed it's
normal efficiency.'

RAILROAD NEWS.
Western Roads Agree on Stand
ard Ticket Form.
This Settled Problem of Four
Years. Standing.
GRADUAL ADOPTION.
Central Roads Are Expected to
Fall in Line.
Other Items of Interest in Rail-
way Circles.

Chicago, Oct. 20.-A feeling of relief
has been experienced by the western
railroads over the fact that a question
which for more than four years has
baffled all attempts at solution seems
at last to be approaching a settlement
throughout the country and has just
been finally disposed of. as far as the
Western Passenger association lines
are concerned. The difficulty which
had so long proved insurmountable was
presented by the inability of the rail-
roads to arrive at an agreement as to IL
standard form of ticket contract %
cover all contingencies. The roads OF
the Western Passenger association have
finally signified their acquiescence 10
the revised report of the committee on
standard tickets, contracts and steps
will begin Immediately for the gradual
substitution of the new forms of tick
cts.
The railroads have made repeated az
tempts to arrive at a standard form of
ticket contract, but opposition to some
detail or other has always developed.
On March 81 1909, a revised report was
made by the committee, which proved
in some details. Acting
on suggestions received since the com
pletion of this report. however, the
committee again attacked the problem
and on September 10 completed a fur
ted to the railroads for their approval
and all the roads of the central west
have now signified their satisfaction.
1t is understood that the Central Pas
senger association roads have likewise
taken affirmative action in the matter.
