FIFTH CENSUS OF RELIGION.
Thirty three Million Members Of Amer
lean Churches.

That the church members In the
United States numbered nearly 33,0O0,-
900 in 1906; that there were billion
and a quarter dollars invested In church
edifices; that every day eight new
churches sent their spires skyward;
that men formed considerably less
than half the total church members;
that in sixteen states the majority OF
the church membership were Roman
Catholic, but that Of the grand total OF
church members reported for the Unit
ed States, 61.6 per cent were Protes-
tants, and 36.7 per cent Roman Catho-
are the salient facts appear
ing in the proof sheets Of a United
States census bureau bulletin, prepared
by William C. Hunt, chief statistician
of the division Of population of the
United States census bureau.
The bulletin will be issued this
month. 1t is in the nature Of an alb
stract of the comprehensive report,
now in press, giving the result Of the
fifth census Of religious bodies In the
United States.
It is stated that United States CEN
sus statistics Of church membership by
sex were collected for the first time in
1906. OF the total number Of MEM
bers reported by the various religious
bodies and classified by six, 43.1 per
cent were males and $50 per cent fe-
males. Among the Protestants the DIFF
ference was greater, only 1913 per cent
being males. In the Roman Catholic
church there were relatively more
males, the number forming 1913 per
cent Of the total membership.
Fewer males than females were found
among the Latter-Day Saints. the Lu-
therans, Disciples, Methodists, Baptists,
and Protestant Episco-
palians, the percentages Of male men,
oers decreasing in the order shown,
and there being but 35.5 per cent male
among the Episcopalians. Among the
Christian Scientists only 27.6 per cent
were males, and Of the Shakers but 21.3
per cent; but in the Greek Orthodox
church s3.s per cent were male, as
practically all Greek immigrants have
been males.
OF the total estimated population Of
continental United States in 1906, the
church members formed 3s.1 per cent,
Is against 1927 per cent for 1890,
to GA per cent more In 1906
than in 1890. OF this 6.4 per cent in
crease, the Roman Catholic church is
credited with "A per cent and the
Protestants with 1.S per cent the re-

slightest trouble in STOPPING down ana

sight-the leg CT a girl. The beast
must have been disturbed by us in the
might but from this place 1t was easy
to follow. We came up with him lying
in a clump Of bushes, and when he
heard US he came straight out to do
battle. l told the Wanderobo they were
not to shoot, as wanted to kill him
myself.
He was a magnificent black named
lion, the name just sweeping the
ground. When about sixty yards from
US he sat down like dog and looked
at US. So started to creep up to him,
and when I was within forty yards he
laid down for spring, his tail beating
vigorously all the time, accompanied
by short purring noise. knew had
to fire now or It would be all up with
me, so l aimed for the head and got
him clean through the chest. He just
turned over quite dead. had no tape
measure with me, but judged him to
be about eleven feet six inches. After
this there was great rejoicing among
the Wanderobo. They called meeting
of all the men and made me a chief
among them.

THE TROUBLE IN GREECE.
Failure Of Hellenic Cause in Crete Has
Brought About Disturbance.

brought ABOUT OiStuTpdnCos
The cause of the naval revolt in
Greece which has led to the fight at
historic Salamis is to be found prob
ably in the recent failure Of the Greek
cause in Crete when the powers up
on Turkeys protest removed the Hell
lenic flag which had been hoisted in
Kanea. For this failure to secure
Crete for Greece the blame was pop
ularly laid to governmental inefficiency
and as a result several weeks ago two
battalions Of troops at Athens mu-
tinted. Retiring to the suburbs, they
demanded the surrender Of the high
places held in the army by Crown
Prince Constantine. commander In
chief Of the Greek army; Prince An
drew, captain Of cavalry, and Prince
Christopher, a sub lieutenant In the in
fantry.
The cause Of the malcontents was
espoused by the powerful Military
league, which on Oct. 10 forced the
chamber of deputies to vote meas
ure abolishing the right Of the crown
prince to hold the post Of commander
in chief and of the other princes to
hold military commands. King
George earlier in the day having per-
suaded his sons, the Prince Constan-
tine. George, Nicholas and Christopher,
to resign their commissions. Before
the passage Of the military bills in the
chamber of deputies thirty royalist
members showed their disapproval by
withdrawing from the chamber. These
loyalists insisted that the Military
league was determined to force the
king to abdicate.
To some observers it seemed that
the crisis had been postponed by the
retirement of the princes. but to all
1t was evident that 1t was likely to
grow acute again if the Cretans re-
turned deputies to the chamber at the
next election.
Meanwhile the Military league, not
satisfied with the humiliation Of the
royal family, issued an ultimatum de-
manding the enactment within twenty
four hours CT an ordinance suspending
all promotion for five years, the aboli-
tion Of the post of rear admiral, here
tofore held by Prince George, together
with two vice admiralships and fifteen
positions of lesser rank. The premier
offered a compromise in the form of
a bill altering the age limit for super
81. R,.a 70
fifty-eight years. This was not sat-
isfactory to the league, and thirty ma
val officers retired to the island of
Salamis, upon which is situated the
arsenal which these officers seized and
where previous to the engagement be-
between the fleet and their torpedo
boats they intrenched themselves.

How to Kill and Cook Postum.


Just how possum ought to be killed
and cooked Is told in the Atlanta Con-
stitution by an expert known far and
wide in Georgia. He says:
ITO kill possum his head should be
placed beneath stick. Stand on the
stick and pull the possum's tail until
his neck is broken. A pOssum requires
careful treatment, and to cook one to
perfection peculiar arrangement is
necessary. A pan on legs should be
provided with Il hole in one end which
can be plugged. Goals placed under
the pan will slowly cook the pOssum
and as the grease runs out of the car
oass it should be drawn off from time to
time. All the time the carcass should
be basted with a sauce made of pep
per and vinegar. In the meantime the
potatoes should be boiled. When the
possum is almost done the potatoes
should be packed in the pan around
the possum, a little sugar sprinkled
over them, and then the gravy which
has been drawn Off from the pan
should be poured on. after which pos
sum and potatoes should be Drowned
to turn.

rope it was proposed to give concert
in the saloon of the ship, an entertain
ment to which all capable Of amusing
their fellow passengers should con-
tribute. Mr.. Riley was asked to recite
some Of his original poems, and Of
course he cheerfully agreed to do so.
Among the number present at this
midOcean entertainment. over which
the Rev. MyrOn Reed presided, were
two Scotchmen, very worthy gentle
men, EN- route from the Land O Cakes
to the land Of biscuits upon tour Of
Investigation. These twain shared the
applauded Mr.. Riley's charming reci-
tations. They marveled that so versa
tile a genius could have lived in land
reputed for uncOuthness and savagery.
