building which the former proposes to
erect at the northeast corner of 18th and

1t was reported here today on good au

been signed and that the New York COM
pany stood ready to furnish $4,000 Tor
the work Of construction, as it might be
desired. When completed the building

The work on the foundation Of the
building will be begun at once.
1t was planned at first that the South

this building, and efforts were made
throughout the south to finance the prof.

The Girl Champions.

From the New Orleans states.
The result OF the spelling contests In
the New Orleans public schools again
demonstrates the superior proficiency OF
the girls, practically all Of the victors be-
ing members of the gentler sex. Last
YEAR the same thing was true and the
matter was quite generally commented
on in the press and at gatherings where
educational subjects were discussed.
SO far as our information goes there
have been no contests to determine the
plpils in other branches of study, but II
would be interesting to know If this FAM
thine superiority is found to exist In all
studies or If they are confined only to
ma rticuIar branches. Doubtless this re-
suit is due in part to the fact that the
female mind ripens at an earlier age than
is the case with the masculine mind, al
though there IS little doubt that the femi-
nine intellect along certain lines Is more
acute than the masculine. which would
seem to justify the conclusion that GER
tain branches OF study are more readily
mastered by girls and women.
In view of the growing number of
young women that are going into posi-
lions as stenographers, typewritists and
other positions requiring an accurate
knowledge Of spelling. this demonstrated
proficiency is most gratifying The pub
tic school administration Is to be COM
mended upon the efforts 1t has made To
improve the spelling Of the public school
pupils and the triumphant girls to to be

CHRISTIANS OF TURKEY.
Religious Services in Hidde1
Churches and by Night.

From the Missionary Review Of the World.
When Islam swept Asia Minor whole
Christian neighborhoods were forced to
accept the religion Of Mohammed that
they might escape the sword. Most OF
these converts accepted only the outward
shell Of Islam, SO that there are today
whole tribes outwardly Mohammedan but
in reality more Christian or heather. A
number of tribes among the Kurds, for
instance, are descendants of Armenia ms
thus nominally converted to Islam cen
turtles ago.
Since the new constitution of Turkey
processes to grant religious liberty, many
of these people are attempting to shake
off the hated yoke Of Islam, and the
Young Turk government finds itself face
TO face with the question what attitude
it should show toward these attempts.
At present the Stavriots, as they are call
ed, are making great efforts to obtain
their right.
The Stavriots who live in the neighbor-
hood OF the cloisters of Wasilu and
Peristera and within the diocese Of Trape-
zunt, Erzerum, Necaesarea (Niksar) and
Chaldia number about 10000. The Turk
ish government considered them Mo-
hammedan, but they adhered secretly TO
the ceremonies of their former religion.
They elected their own Mohammedan
teachers but they had also their own
priests, who performed marriage. baptism
and other religious ceremonies in a hid
den church secretly and by night Each
one of these Stavriots had two names, a
Christian and a Mohammedan. In the
mosques they prayed with the Turks, but
used Christian prayers.
After the revolution of last year they
telegraphed the Young Turks and de-
manded public recognition as Christians.
This recognition has not yet been granted
in spite of the fact that the new Turkish
government has promised complete reli-
gious liberty.

NOT TREATED SERIOUSLY
ONLY RIPPLE CAUSED BY SUG-
GESTION OF A NEW PARTY,
Regular Republicans Smile at Pin.
chot's acknowledgements
Have Not Considered It.


That intimation at the Pinchot dinner
in St Paul Saturday night that a new
political party is forming caused just a
ripple on the surface Of the ocean OF
politics in Washington-just a ripple and
nothing more.
Regular republicans smile indulgently
when the subject is discussed with them,
and profess not to treat the suggestion
as seriously made or as more than a
banquet pleasantly. Insurgents say they
have given the suggestion no attention
whatever.
The avowed purpose Of the proposed
and as yet unnamed party is to promote
the principles of conservation of natural
resources. 1t is pointed out by several
members of Congress who could be per-
suaded to take the matter seriously
enough to discuss it that the republican
party is committed to the doctrines of
conservation, and that great political
party is not to be founded on split over
the details of carrying out the principle.
Said Senator Borah, one Of the out
spoken republicans of convictions:
There is no occasion for the formation
OF such an organiza ton and no possibili-
ity of its naturalization. The PROPOSE
ton is a poorly constructed joke, due, 1
believe. to the enthusiasm and exuber-

Lubricating Steamboat Travel.

From the New York Evening Post
The equipment Of the speedy turbine
liners Harvard and Yale with oil-burnine
apparatus, doing away with the use Of
coal. is a highly interesting development
in marine engineering. More and more
on the Pacific coast, shipping men are
turning to this form Of fuel, not only be-
cause Of the practical doing away WITH
the horrors Of the stoke-hole and the
dispensing with all but few of the en-
gine-room force, but because the use of
Oil increases the efficiency of the ship
from > to per cent. At least this is the
estimate Of a we'll informed writer in
Out West; the disappearance Of the neces-
sity of drawing fires, and the steady, even
heat of the liquid fuel are the prime rea-
sons for the gain. For the passengers thu
gain in comfort is very great, and the
loading of fuel on the Harvard and Yale
takes an hour of pumping now in place
of eight hours of eXhausting labor in
transferring coal from barges to the ship
Oil slows, too. in about 81 per cent of
the space Of coal, ton for ton, and. more
than that, the ton of Oil is worth two

little higher than that Of coal in bulk. but
the saving in labor more than offsets this.
The ease. quickness and cleanliness OF
loading would make the change desirable.
II nothing else. Moreover. the oil can
be stored either in the twin tanks of a
ship or the false bottom, thus making
plenty of room for additional cargo.

NOT SUCH A HARD JOB.
Aeroplaning Easier Than Auto Driv-
ing, Saws Hamilton.

NEW YORK, June 13.-"Driving an
aeroplane at the speed OF 120 miles an
hour is not nearly as difficult task as
driving an automobile sixty miles an
hour" This was the surprising state
ment made recently by Charles K. Ham
ilton, the aviator.
I'm running an automobile at high
speed the driver must be on the job every
second. There are constant opportunities
of encountering obstacles. For instance,
a man can never tell at what moment he
is to encounter some vehicle, perhaps
travelling in the opposite direction. Moth
ing but hntiring vigilance can protect
him from this e.d linen mere ne are
ment and other like difficulties. All these
require the same attention.
"Unconscious Attention" Needed.
but in an aeroplane 1t is an entirely
different proposition. Once a man becomes
accustomed to aeroplaning, it becomes a
matter Of unconscious attention. For in
stance, let me give you as an example
the bicycle. Nearly every one has at
some time or other ridden one, and these
can appreciate my point. They will re-
member how. when they first mounted
the wheel. maintaining their equilibrium
was a matter Of nerve-racking vigilance
In their efforts to maintain it they would
invariably put the wheel too far. to the
falling side.
Whenever they cav an approaching We
hicle they felt moral certainty that
they would be run down. and In order to
avoid this catastrophe would make ridicu-
loiIsly wide detOurs, but little practice
and the equilibrium was unconsciously
maintained. They were soon riding with
out the use Of the handlebars, maintain
ing their poise simply by an unconscious
shift OF the body. Approaching vehicles

No Obstacles to Encounter.

equilibrium instinctively, he is sure to
come to grief. Why. when I am travel

ground. my thoughts usually run on SUBJ
jects unrelated to aeroplahing. So far
as the air currents are concerned, I re-
ly entirely on this instructive action; but
my ear is always on the alert. The dan
ger signal Of the aviator is when he hears
his motor miss. Then he KNOWS that
troubles are In store. Sometimes he
can speed up, just as an automobile
driver does, and get it to renew its nor
NAL action. But if he fails in this and
the motor stops, he must dip his defect

is no preliminary signal from the motor
