Joseph c. s. Blackburn. governor of the

retirements, his resignation had not been
handed in at Washington. He intimated
that 1t would not be. He is here on fifty
six days leave of absence, a part of which
he will spend In Washington and a part
at his home in Kentucky. He is accom-
panied by his wife and his thirteen-year-
old granddaughter.
in regard to the canal Gov. Blackburn
expressed himself with enthusiasm. He
eulogized Col. Goethals, the engineer-in-
chief, saying there could be no better head
of the commission and no more efficient
engineer. Constructing such a mighty

corporation. The government had spent
$2.00O,OOO in making two cities, Panama
and Colon not within the zone, fit for
the thousands of American workmen who
were now engaged on canal work. No
private corporation would have done that
One of the first, If not the very first
things that the government considered
when 1t went into the work Of building
the canal was the health of men on the
job. The Canal Zone is now one of the
healthiest spots on the earth.
AS an evidence of its fine sanitary con-
dition the governor cited his own expert
ence. He said he had been there two
years and never had been sick one day
He is now seventy-one years old. Gov
Blackburn declared he would return to
the Canal Zone several days after the
Christmas holidays.

I happened to be in Sweden at the time
the crimes were committed.
The court ordered that Ekenburg be

Disciples of Christ Celebrating Their
Centennial at Pittsburg-Work

PITTSBURG. October 19.-The ninth
and concluding days session of the inter-
national centennial and convention of the
Disciples of Christ christian church, is
being held today. Evangelistic work OF
the church was discussed. Tonight the
convention ends with street meetings by
volunteer evangelists and singers. Among
the forty thousand delegates it is the
belief that great good to Christian
churches all over the country will fol-
low. The proceedings developed num-
Der of noteworthy achievements. For
the first time. it is claimed, the layman
was given definite knowledge of the mag
ntude of the denomination. Forty times
more delegates attended this convention
than the one held I'm this city eighteen
years ago
Number of Communicates.
In century the Christian Church has
secured 100000 communicates. I,714
churches. 1852 Bible schools, and 1851
ministers. Nearly a million students
enrolled in the Bible schools. And the
total church valuation is $29. 142, pa. The
steamer Oregon. built by the church in
the local ship yards, was dedicated and
then dismantled for shipment to the
Kongo river. where Ii enters the mis-
sionary field. over 100000 was con-
tributed in open meeting for carrying
on work at home and abroad.
Scores of addresses were delivered By
senators, representatives and prominent
business men of the country. while the
browning climax was reached last Sun
day when over 25eo0 persons gathered
at the base ball park here and partooll
of the Lords supper. which. IL is said,
was the most marvellous communion serv-
ice ever attempted.
Liberal Interpretation Foreshadcwed.
The first wedge for broad interpreta-
ton Of the baptismal ceremony was
driven i'm one of the speeches, and IL is
possible that in a short time candidate
for entrance into the Christian Church
will be allowed to choose the form OF
baptism which their own consciences die
tate. In this address Col. Samuel Har-
den Church of Pittsburg pointed out that
the unyieiding position on the question
of baptism had greatly retarded the
growth of the church, and the idea is
meeting with outspoken approval
