The Federal Trust Company is
the name of a new financial insti-
tuition organized in st. Louis last
week for the purpose of handling
bonds and other securities. For
mer State Insurance Commission
er w. D. Vandiver has been elected
president and Hon. M. r. Smith
of Pennington secretary. The
Federal Trust Company was chart
cred last November with a capital
stock of $500, 900, more than one.
half of which has been subscribed.
The men behind this institution
represent more than a million and
a half capital, and as it occupies a
new field in the West, the pro-
moters of the enterprise are san
guine of its success. One feature
of the company is to furnish surety
bonds, and as the records of the
State Insurance Department show
that nearly $500, 900 was spent in
Missouri last year for surety bonds
alone, a large business is antici-
pated from that source.-Farming-

Wednesday, April 14th, 1909, will
mark a memorable day in the his
tory of the Arcadia College, Ar
cadia, Mo. The new Chapel, an
edifee of strictly architectural
beauty, was solemnly dedicated to
the honor and glory of God. His
Grace, Archbishop Glennon, DID,,
assisted by forty-two priests, Of
ficiated. Bishop Hennessey, of
Wichita, Kansas, sang the pontif-
ical High Mass. Deacons of Hon.
or to His Grace were Rev'ds P.
Nugent, G. M, and M. Brennan.
Deacons of the Mass, Rev'ds P.
Walsh and H. Adrian.
The Rev'ds J. Tanrath and j.
Collins acted as Master of Cere-
monies, with Very Rev. o. j. S.
Hoog, V. G., Presbyter Assistens.
The choir, composed of Sisters
under the able direction of Sr. M.
Isabella, rendered the Salve Regina
Mass in a way worthy of the high
est praise, and manifested deep
study, tact and musical ability,
both vocal and instrumental. 1t
was a rare treat to hear such
splendid church music rendered in
so masterful a way.
Promptly at 9 o'clock the grand
procession, led by the s-bearer
and two acolytes with lighted
candles, proceeded from the
priests residence to the church for
the beginning of the impressive
ceremonies connected with the
dedication of a Catholic Church.
Following the cross bearer came
the Military Band from Jefferson
Barracks, under the very compe-
tent leadership of Band Master,
Prof. F. Weber. This band had
volunteered its services for the oc-
casion and deserves a vote of
thanks for the splendid program
with which it delighted all. Next
in line came the pupils of Arcadia
College in their sombre black
uniforms and white wells; then
the visiting clergy, followed by
the Archbishop and his Deacons
of Honor. While the Archbishop
blessed the church, the visiting
clergy, led by the chanters, Father
Lemkes and Father Hussmann,
chanted the psalm, Miserere, and
the Litany of All Saints.
For the visiting clergy a special
car had been chartered on the Iron
Mountain railroad which left st.
Louis on Tuesday at 8 P. M. arriv-
ing at Arcadia at $50. The Arch
bishop and clergy were received
at the station by FIR. Wernert and
his assistant, Father j. Adrain,
and escorted to the beautiful Col
lege grounds. After a sumptuous
repast, a musical and literary pro-
gram by the pupils Of the College,
assisted by the Military Band, was
given in honor of the visiting
guests. The numbers were we'll
chosen and elected rounds of ap-
plause.
AT It's conclusion Archbishop
Glennon was called on for a few
words. In his own inimitable
way he responded feelingly to the
deep diapason of the musical and
literary nosegay which had been
rendered him by the daughters
and pupils of st. Ursula, congrat-
ulating them on their program,
the ability manifested and the good
cheer and open hospitality which
had been shown to all. 1t would
not have been in order without
hearing a word from the Right
Rev. Bishop Hennessey, so the
"Father of Arcadia College," as
the good Bishop is lovingly called,
voiced the sentiments of the priests
and visitors present in wishing
the good Sisters unbounded sue
cess in an undertaking SO auspic-

PARTY OF SEVEN is
RESCUED IN DESERT
Had Mistaken Road in from Nevada
Thrice, Owing to Absence of
Signposts-OId Pros
pector Aided

SAN BERNARDINO, Feb. 8.-The
Wister rescue party has been success
ful in it's search for the Melrose party
of seven persons, who were lost on the
Cesert near the moutIrsof Death Valley.
1t came on the party sheltered in a
small cave formed by projecting rocks
on the edge of the Panamint range.
The party had suffered greatly, the
men having gone without food for
three days in the hope of saving the
lives of the two women and two chill
dren. A short time before they were
found, however, they had succeeded in
killing two jackrabbits.
They realized they were lost, how
ever, and did not know which way to
go. They say it was the third time they
had mistaken the road on the way in
from Nevada, having gone wrong twice
i Inyo county, owing to the absence OF
signposts on the desert.
One of the women of the party was
quite i'll when the party was found and
had been for two days. The others
while suffering greatly, will be all
right.
r-he Wister party also rescued ar
old prospector who had become lost or
the trail, and, while he had plenty OF
provisions, had suffered greatly.

missioners will go to Europe to con-
tinue the school building.

SAVES CRIPPLE WHO
ATTEMPTS SUICIDE
PatroIman Drags Him from Under Car
and Is Cursed RoundIy for
Having Ri3ked His
Life

At the risk of his own life Patrolman
Henry Ditzen yesterday afternoon
dragged Henry Stevens, a cripple, from
beneath an outbound Pasadena car at
Third and Main streets when the latter
attempted to commit suicide. Ditzen
made two attempts before he sue
ceeded in pulling Stevens to safety.
Stevens is 25 years old. He was in
jured in a wreck several years ago and
lost leg and all the fingers of both
hands. Yesterday morning he was re-
leased from the workhouse, where he
had completed a forty days sentence
for vagrancy.
Ditzen was walking along the street
when he saw the man run out in the
street and throw himself in front OF
the car. The mOtorman evidently di-
vined his intentions and applied the
brakes. AS Stevens rolled under the
fender he grabbed the fiange of one
of the front wheels with his one thumb
and tried to pull himself under the car
His grip did not hold and he tried
again.
BY this time Ditzen had run to his
aid and grabbed the man by the leg
1t happened to be the artificial limb
and it came loose in Ditzen's grasp
The officer fell, but quickly regained
his feet and pulled the man from his
dangerous position.
Stevens was furious because of his
failure to end his life, and fought with
the officer. Ditzen handcuffed him anG
took him to the police station. wher;
the prisoner cursed all he saw anC
begged to be killed.
He told the jailer he would end hi:
life as soon as he was released.

LIGHTNING HITS WIRELESS
POLE; OPERATOR BURNED
Electric Waves Of Message Intercept
Flash with Serious Results to
San Franciscan

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. S-A light
ming flash, intercepted by the electric
waves of a message being thrown by a
wireless mast to a steamer at sea and
DETECTED down the wires to the oper-
atingi room of the wireless station, Sc
riously burned William J. Smith, the
operator, seated before his instruments.
The peculiar accident occurred early
yesterday during the short electrical
storm which swept over the city. Smith
was rendered senseless for ten min
utes, and on recovering found that
fantastic designs had been burned on
his flesh by the current.
Smith was communicating with the
steamer Lurline, which left port last
Friday, towing the bark Mohican to
Honolulu.
The storm broke with sudden inten-
sity, three binding flashes following
one another quickly, a tremendous peal
of thunder accompanying the light.
Suddenly a blaze of light broke from
the instruments in front of Smith and
he was hurled from his chair half way
across the room by the shock of the
high tension current which had been
caught by the message waves. Only his
position and the fact that the force
of the current was spread by the
waves, it is said, saved him from
death.

FOUR TIMES POOR, FOUR
TIMES RICH, PIONEER DIES

BELLINGHAM, Wash, Feb. S.-Au-
gustus Griffin, four times a millionaire
and four times a bankrupt, pioneer
of Whatcom county, died here today,
aged 81 years.
Griffin made a fortune in the early
sos in San Francisco, and was rated
as a millionaire. Taking his wealth to
Chicago he erected the first of the
great elevator systems Of that city and
was wiped out in the great fire of 1871
He then turned his attention to the
oil business in Western. Pennsylvania
and in 1878 was one of Pittsburgs big
oil magnates. Competition with the
Rockefellers later forced him into
bankruptcy and he came west in 1885
securing 400 acres of land on which
Rellingham now stands.
He also founded the city of Fern
dale, this county The panic of 1901
again wiped him out and he died today
in comparative poverty.
