PASTOR EXPLAINS WORDS
WHICH CAUSED SENSATION
EIucidates Statement in Regard
to Scarcity of Christians

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-The Rev. A.
B. Simpson, who created something of
sensation this week by declaring at
the Old Orchard camp grounds In
Maine that there are fewer Christians
and more heathens in the world today
than ever before, has explained his
meaning in a telegram to his parish
toner's in New York. He says:
"ReHgiously we are at once declin-
ing and advancing. The bad is grow
ing worse, the good is getting better.
There are not as many Protestant
Christians in the United States in pro-
portion to the population as century
ago. The causes are chiefly higher
criticism and free thought in the pull
pit and worldliness among the people.
Some of us still believe the only rem
edy for this lost world is the old gos-
pei, and people who believe in it and
live it will do their parts"

CHICAGO, Aug. ia new system

I'VE want the young wife to under
stand what part OF the family income
should be devoted to the hone,' said
Mrs. Young. 1--WE want her to know
how to spend 1t. She will be taught
in the high school to watch the daily
papers for the market prices and to
know just what things should cost from
day to day.
"When she sees a thing she wants
we want her to be able to figure out
whether she can afford it-whether 1t
will be worth as much to her as 1t
costs. She must take her husbands
check and figure out what per cent
must go for meat, for bread, fuel,
light and all other needs of home.
When she gets through her husband
can take care of his insurance, cloth
ing and the other essentials.

Santa Fe system was so generally es-
teemed.
He was exceedingly democratic, and
the humblest workman was always
treated as an equal by the general man

never forgot the men who had labored
with him on the lower rung of the
ladder.
Mr. Hurley was born at Wapello, Ia,
j l.

ter terms at normal school at Bloom
field, Ia.

son, Topeka & Santa Fe in 1880 as
brakeman, and subsequently, until 1882,
was marehouseman and bagga geman.
He was for one year telegraph operat-
or and station clerk at various stations
in Kansas, and during 1888 was relief
agent on the Rio Grande and New Mex
leo divisions and chief clerk and cash
Ter at Hutchinson, Kas. Since that
year he held successfully the fol-
lowing positions: Agent at Florence,
Kas.; chief clerk to the general super
intendent at Topeka, trainmaster east
ern division, assistant superintendent
Missouri division, assistant supertn-
tendent Chicago division, in charge OF
transportation at Fort Madison, Ia,
from October, 1889, t. June, 1894; SUI
perintendent New Mexico division June,
1894, to October, 1894; superintendent
consolidated New Mexico and Rio
Grande divisions, October, 1894, to jan
uary, 1901; acting general superintend-
ent lines west of Albuquerque, at Los
Angeles, Cal, January to october, 1901.

general superintendent of the western
grand division at La Junta, Colo, and

perintendent of the eastern grand di-
vision, which position he held until his
promotion to the office of general man

NEW BIPLANE AROUsEs INTEREST
At the Asbury Park aviation field
intense interest centers on a new BIZ
plane being set up by the Wrights
to replace a machine smashed by
Brookins. In the craft, which is de-
signed to carry five persons If neces-
sary, there is nothing in front of the
drivers seat. The front elevation
planes are gone and the two main
planes stretch the air in initial contact
so far as the aeroplane is concerned.
The elevating plane-there is only
one-is located behind the rear rudder,
and thus one of the earliest features of
the aeroplanes are to reappear in
this new type. Meanwhile the aero
plane colony at Mineola, L. l.. is pre-
pairing to test the value of the biplane
for saving life at sea. An imitation
shipwreck is being built in the center
of the aerodrome, in the place here
tofore occupied by the dummy warships
used in the bomb-throwing expert
ments. BY next week it will be ready
so that Clifford s. Harmon and his
fellow aviators can make attempts at
dropping a lifeline over it. The ropes
will hang from the tail of the machine
so that 1t cannot foul the propeller.

NEW YORK, Aug. 16.-Fresh milk
in superf1uous quantities was enjoyed
by passengers on the liner Mime
tonka, which has just arrived here
from London. Even milk bath could
have been had for a mere song, for
after the passengers and the crew had
all the milk they wanted each day
there was still so much left over that
many gallons had to be thrown into
the sea.
This pleasant situation was a result
of the presence aboard of nearly 100
fine COWS, consigned to farms in the
middle west.
