History of the Organization.

Mr.. Woodland traced the organization
historically from 1912, when it was first
formed, and told Of the worldwide in
f1uence the Sons of Temperance had ex-
erted over mankind. In the room at the
time of Mr.. Bradley's remarks was Mr..
Ball. who was initiated into the order in
1860, as a soldier just returned from the
civil war '''o
Mr. Bradley said the misery on earth
is caused by the acts Of man, and that
II every one would Join the temperance
cause by becoming a member of the
Sons of Temperance, and putting his en-
ergy In that direction, instead of letting
1t go to waste. this would be a beauti.

through the curse of alcohol now see
only the darkest side.''

NEW YORK, April 2.-The Pennsyl-
Vania railroad opened to public inspection
for the first time today 1875 miles of the
most expensive construction work. foot
for foot, ever attempted; namely, its tun-
mel and terminal Improvement from Har-
rson, n. j., TO Sunnyside, l.. !. The
average cost of mile of steam railroad
is about $4,000; the cost per mile of the
tunnel and terminal improvement has
been more than $3,60o.OOO. The company
has thus far expended $102,O 600, and
will expend S16O,OOO,OO0 before the i'm
provement is completed. Train service is
due to begin late in June. or early IN
July, with an initial card OF LOCO trains
daily.
The boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens,
with population cg 100000, will then
have direct connection by rail for the
hrst time with the south and west.
Bridging He'll Gate.
Eventually. by the construction OF the
New York connecting line, which, at the
cost of $12OO0,09o additional. will bridge
the East river at Hell Gate, linking the
Pennsylvania system with the New York,
New Haven and Hartford railroad sys
tenn, 1T will DO possible to travel all rail-
from any point in the west and the south
20 any point in New England.
For many years New York city has
hccn accessible by rail over the tracks
IT only one systematic New York Cen
tral-whch had the only terminal within
The city. All other trunk lines had to
set down their passengers from the west
on the further shore of the Hudson
whence they were brought to New York
by ferries. These roads in 1906 carried
10 the ferries about 10000 900 passen-
gers and served a suburban district which
inclosed $40, 6SS souls five years ago. In
1920. 1T is estimated, this population will
he twenty millions.
The figures tell succinctly both the prob
lem and the promise of reward, and the
Pennsylvania went to work to solve the
one and gain the other.
Cars Built Of Steel.
The tunnel division Is electrically OPP
Grated, and the third rail carrying the
current is the heaviest ever rolled-15O

OF steel: the tunnel itself is Of concrete
The trains run in slot, as 1t were, be-
tween solid concrete benches, and In
event OF collision or a derailment the
cars could not burn, and the train could
neither ram the walls Of the tunnel. nor

either side.
The terminal In Manhattan is the
largest in the world and one of the
handsomest ever constructed. More struc-

year in all the other buildings erected in
New York. Including the subsurface
yards, it has an area of twenty eight
acres trackage of twenty-one miles

sionally creeps like a poisonous thing
from the dark and the dank of her
own life away down there beneath
the surface, full into the glare and the
hare OF Palafox street, now and then
twenty-five years ago, so some peo-
pie say, she was one of the city's
handsomest women-striking daring,
debonair. Today her rotting fangs
protrude from under lips that are
fabby and yellow with excessive
druggfng, and her wisps of rat grey
hair hang straight into her liquor
bleared eyes. Her story is a story
of yesterday-and because her mind
and body are rotting away from eff
fects of sin and debauch, her power
and her reason for living are gone
yet the Lord lets her live and suffer.
Suffer?

her troubles!
A trivial occurrence had caused her
to be called to the Office, and nerve
wracked man, who somehow forgets
sometimes that the women under his

with unnecessary harshness.
He could have been crisp and bust

very best grade of employers are, and
he could have told precisely wherein

MYSTER|OUSLY
C.. SMELL, OF SOUTH JACKSON
VILE, is MISSING - FRIENDS
SIDERABLE MONEY WHEN LAST
SEEN.

General alarm is felt over the mys-
FERROUS disappearance of Chas. Smell,
45 years old, a boat builder, who
roomed with w. H. Martin, at the
corner OF Holmes and Hendricks
streets, says the Jacksonville Me
tropolis.
Smell was an Industrious, sober
man and was a senior partner of the
firm of Chas. Smell & Co., South Jack
sonville. He was last seen at the Du-
val planning mill, corner Eighth and
Iona streets, Springfield, last Friday
afternoon at 2 O'Clock.
He ordered lumber which was de-
livered the same afternoon, but since
leaving the mill he has not been seen,
although his friends and the police
have made diligent search for him
1t is believed by his intimate friends
that he had about 500 on his person
as he always paid his men off on Sat
urdays and generally got money a
day or so ahead. He was paid $50
Thursday for some work by a Mr..
Comstock, of the knight Crockery Co.
and this money it is believed was also
on him. The missing man was not
married and was temperate in his
habits 1t is feared that Smell met
with foul play. Smell weighs about
220 pounds, is about feet IL inches
ford complexion, wears light sandy
mustache and wore black coat and
dark pants with soft hat. Any In

THE TEXAS WILL BE GIVEN TO
THE NAVAL MlLlTIA-SERVED
IN SPANISH WAR-FAMoUs OLD
FIGHTER NOW REGARDED UN-
FIT FOR SERVICE.
Special to Tho Journal.

|
Washington, Jan. 22.-There is an
old battleship which played a promi-
nent part in the Spanish war and half
a dozen monitors of more ancient
times which the navy department is
prepared to turn over to naval mill
, tia expressing a desire to take pos
session of them.
The department has been besieged
from time to time with requests from
the governors Of the various states
on tide water for the assignment of
ships to be used as training schools,
armories, etc, and for the purpose of
cruising In the summer. Application
has been made for every warship held
In reserve.
| The general board has reported ad-
Iversely on these applications, hold
ing that ships held in reserve. al
though only partially in commission,
should not be assigned to naval mill
tia. It is pointed out that these ships
could easily be used. again in time of
need and that to turn them over to
state authorities would hamper the
service.
! The board suggests that there are
several ships available for use by the
state militia. One of these is the bat
tlcSuip 1oAdS, q poWSIluA IdCtoI III IuS
battle of Santiago, but now regarded
as obsolete and unfit for use in the
navy. The others are monitors Of
which there are six, and although they
would give the state militia little idea
OF the modern battleship, they would
serve admirably as floating armories.
| The proposition Of the navy de-
lpartment Is to turn these ships over
to state authorities on the understand
ing that the expenses of maintaining
them would be divided. The depart
ment would furnish enough seamen to
take care of the ships, but the state
would be called upon to pay for any
alterations, janitor service, painting,
etc.
There are more than enough appli-
cations on file to take care OF the
ships and it is believed that within
few months they will be assigned TO
several states along the Atlantic
coast.
