MAY ANOINT WITH OIL.
Bishop FaIlows Claims Marvellous
Cures for the Practice.

Chicago, June SIN about three
years, perhaps, the ministers will be
given authority and orders to anoint
with oil.''
This prediction was made by Bishop
Fallows in a talk which he made be-
fore the Methodist ministers on
Health and Happiness. The bishop
was not certain that all clergymen
would be as successful as might be
hoped, but he said their treatments
would probably be of varying degrees
of efficacy.
'It is true that some ministers
would probably not be as efficient as
others,'' he added, ''but we see this diff
ference in skill in the men who follow
all the arts and professions The time
is coming. however. when you will
graduate no more young men until they
are thoroughly instructed in the prin-
ciples of psycho-therapy, and when no
physician will be graduated until he
has been thoroughly grounded in the
study of the soul and of applied
psychology.
"Gfve God the glory for these cures.
1t is true that cure might be due in
part to medicine and in part to pray
ers. The cures which have been eff
fected by amounting with oil have been
marvellous"

YOU MUST RUN A BLUFF.
Is Advice OF Judge McEwen to
Graduates of Law School.

Chicago, June s.-"You must run
many a cold. nervy bluff and cannot
afford to be numbered in the down
and out class.
"You cannot afford to be too much
of a gentleman to the opposing coun-
sci nor too deferential in a court
room"
This was the advice of Judge Nc
Even to the thirty-eight graduates
of the Chicago law school
1.-THE lawyer occupies a vested
position probably higher than in any
other profession said the judge,
''and should first of all look out for
No. l.
"You cannot play the part of the
country church mouse, but must
reach out for what's in sight.
when you give the impression
that you are giving way to either
court or counsel on the opposite
side, you lose the faith of the jury. I
sometimes think a lawyer should be
fifty percent better than the court"

TROUBLE EXPECTED.
Emma Goldman Will Speak and Police
Fear Violence.

New York, June S-Trouble is ex-
pected tonight in East Orange, N. J.,
when Emma Goldman, the anarchist,
will attempt to speak publicly in de-
fiance of the mandate of the mayor
and police.
Alden Freeman, descendant of a
Mayf1ower pilgrim, and one of the
wealthy residents of that suburb, who
caused a sensation a few weeks ago,
by introducing Emma Goldman at
society banquet, is sponsor for her
and declared last night that If the
police interfered heavy damages would
be sought through the courts.
Learning that the lease of the hall
where the meeting was to have been
held tonight had been cancelled, be-
cause of police interference, Mr.. Free
man announced that if necessary Miss
Goldman would speak in his barn and
that if the authorities interfered there
an attempt would be made to hold a
street meeting.
It was understood that a number of
prominent anarchists of New York
would go to East Orange tonight to
assist in the effort of spreading the
doctrine OF anarchy in that suburb,
which is largely populated by wealthy
and prosperous New York business

CR0KER'S OLD DESK.
1t Has Been Locked Up in a Room at
the City Hall.

New York, June s.-Fearing the
souvenir hunters, the old desk shroud-
ed in many mysteries, which was used
by Richard Croker when at the head of
Tammany Hall, in the old court house,
has been moved to a locked chamber
in the basement of the city hall.
Rumors have had it that there are
several secret compartments in the
ornate affair and although several
searches failed to discover them, other
efforts will now be made. 1t is con-
sidered likely that Tammany Hall will
formally ask the city to sell the desk
to it. and that the leaders work table,
over which many famous interviews
passed, will find place in the wigwam.

100000 cords used last year was cut
from domestic timber. Spruce. hem
lock. and poplar made up ninety per
cent of the total quantity of pulp wood
used The remainder was supplied by
many species, the most important of
which were pine, cottonwood, and bal
sam
The wood used by the pulp mills last
year cost them a little more than $685.
100000, or an average of $S.3S per cord,
against an average of 1921 in 1907 The
most costly wood used was imported
spruce, with an average value of $10.60
per cord. The average for domestic
spruce was 1915 per cord and for pop
lar, $500 per cord. The cheapest wood
which was used in large quantity was
hemlock the cost being $500 per cord.
Owing to the uncertain business con-
ditions the total consumption of pulp
wood in 1908 was nearly is per cent
less than in 1907, but this did not pre-
vent considerable increase in the
price of wood The high price of wood
is making the manufacturers to be
constantly on the lookout for cheaper
raw material and one of the most en-
couraging developments has been the
increased use of slab wood and other
sawmill waste. This drift in the indus
try is clearly indicated by the fact that
1913, ,234 cords of mill waste were report
ed as consumed in pulp manufacture
during 1907 while 252, 1896 cords, an in
crease of thirty per cent, was used In
1908
These statements are based upon a
preliminary report of the consumption
of pulp wood in the United States in
1908 just issued by the bureau of the
census. The bureau of the census and
the forest service cooperate in the col
lection of annual statistics of forest
products, and this preliminary report
will soon be followed by a bulletin,
which will give detailed information
upon the use of pulp wood last year in
the various states, the cost per cord,
the amount reduced by the mechanical,
sulphite and soda processes, and other
facts of interest to the industry.
According to the latest authority on
fashions, gray is the prevailing color
for public men who would be modishly
dressed this season. This includes not
merely gray suits but gray ties, gray
hat bands and gray socks. The senate
is rapidly getting into line with the
fashion, so far as suits are concerned.
AS to socks, there is a lack of authort-
tative information, save that there is
no warrant to suppose anyone is fol-
lowing in the path of the immortal
Jerry Simpson of Kansas. AS for hat
bands and neckties, gray is struggling
hard with plain black, and is achieving
only Indifferent success.
A star mail route will be established
between Kincaid and Blue Mound,
Kan, on June IA. The service will be
rendered six times week. Frank N.
Roe of Kincaid was awarded the con-
tract at $435 a year.

bill of lading recently adopted by the
government departments is being used
and is proving a great convenience.

ed on suspicion.
