Presbyterian Church Growth.


The progress of the Presbyterian Church
In this country during the past year is
Just made public in figures. The financial
income Of the denomination steadily In
creases and reached last year it's highest
water mark of $23.22i.OOO. This Is a
growth Of almost $5.OOOOOO during the last
five years. The number of churches
jumped up In the statistics for 1907. owing
to the coming i'll Of the Cumberland body.
but 1t fell back again by fully 1,OOO the
next year, partly because some of the
Cumberland OrganiZa tions did not stay in.
The number stands now at almost exactly
10000.
There was a like sudden growth In num-
ber of members in 1897. and 4 correspond
ing decln However the totai now stands
at 1921 900. or fairly steady growth Of
11a per cent per year. This is somewhat
less than the population growth for the
whole country. There has been during
the five years last past hardly any in
crease In gifts to missions at home. In
spite OF the fact that vigorous home
mission campaign has been carried on.
Gifts to missions abroad have. however.
gone forward by $4,000 during the period
named The Presbyterian missionary or
ganizations are ont of debt, but they are
80 through efforts of their own and no.
because Of recent special cainpa igns.
The number OF Sunday school pupils
grows steadily and stands now at its high
mark. viz. 1,2d6.0fs0. The number of new
ministers ordained last year was five
fewer than the number ordained five

LESS NUMBER Of COMPLAINTS
REDUCTION IN PRACTICE
MARCHES AND FIELD DAYS.
Col. Woodbury. Discusses Army Con-
ditions-Lack of Experienced
Company Commanders.

Accordin to Col Thomas c. Woodbury.,
Sd United States Infantry. commanding
the Department OF the Columbia. the
reduction in the number Of practice
marches and field days has eliminated
the cause OF much complaint. He again
calls attention to the shortage Of officers
and says that the lack of experienced
permanent company commanders has
been undoubtedly responsible for many OF
the desertions in the army. Efficiency
and discipline, he says, are necessarily
affected by the absence of so many off1-
GERS. The Craftsmanship test and phys
ical examination of all general and field
officers of the Department of the CO.
lumbia took place during the naneuvers
at American lake in August. 1905. At

therefore. that officers who march with

IN addition, as it can be regarded only
as an unnecessary annoyance To the Off
Ger and an expense to the government,
not only In money, but In loss for severa,
days or weeks of the offers services.
Col. Woodbury. recommends that the
civil service rules be waived in appoint

count Of the peculiar conditions entailed.
He points out the various l1ardships con-
nected with the service III Alaska, cs-

ATTRIBUTED TO MOTORS.
Airship Experts View on Accident
to Zeppelin III.

BERLIN. August 3o.--The accident to
the Zeppelin III is attributed by techni-
cal observers to the fact that her motors
had not been properly tried out under
service conditions. 1t appears that Zep-
pelin III. as at present fitted out. was
tried in the air for only two and one-half
hours previous to undertaking the trip
to Perlin. Other than this the motors
have had only the ordinary shop tests.
II had heen the intention to show
Zeppelin III to Emperor William and to
F-arcis Joseph. the Emperor Of Austria,
within the same week. Emperor Francis
Joseph has arranged to visit the newly
constructed airship works on the Lake Of
Constance. and Zeppelin III was hurrying
back to the south In order to reach the
lake tomorrow. When the news Of the
breakdown was transmitted to Emperor
William he ordered that Zeppelin II. the
airship that already has been turned over
to the army. he sent from the Rhine de-
pot to the Lake OF Constance for the in.
spection OF Emperor Of Francis Joseph.
Ii had been arranged that the airsh!p
accompany Francis Joseph's yacht on the
return journey to BreGenz.

itself becomes epidemic at times, and in
some instances kills SO many of the
squirrels that the burrows were filled
and many Of the victims died on the

ers in the infected region claim that the
BOBBY owl, which also inha bits the suuir-
rel burrows, carried the plague infected
f1eas into fresh localities but 1t has not
yet been proved to u certainty that this
Is the case.
Much attention has been directed to-
ward other small animals which may
become infected from the squirrels. Rab-
bits and field mice are under constant
suspicion and many examinations have
been made, but SO far without convict
