Missionaries of the Sudan.

Missionaries wherever they work
have many difficulties to encounter
and many hardships to contend with,
but I doubt II there is any part OF
the earth where the missionary has
a harder time than in the Sudan" }"
said DR.. A. c. Hudson of Los Angeles,
who spent several months in that
country.
Despite the effort Of the Govern
ment to stamp them out, cannibalistic
practices are still prevalent in the
Sudan. The Government Is adopting
strong measures to punish those re-
sponsible for such inhuman practices.
"The worship of their ancestors,
witchcraft and the employment OF
witch doctors and fetch worship are
among the obstacles that confront the
missionary, but Notwithstanding these
and other difficulties the work OF
evangelization is producing encourag'
ing results, and in Africa to-day there
are more than 3,5OO,OOO Christians"

Scholar or Athlete.

The athlete 0. the scholar? Which
type of man does the word want!
That is the query suggested by Presl'
dent Hadley Of Yale in an address 70
the Harvard winners of scholastic
honors. Two generations ago the
intellectual idol of the graduates and
students at most of our colleges was
the leading debater. Now 1t Is no
longer the debater but the athlete
who occupies the center OF the staf -
The fact thus stated is apparent
everywhere. The scholar has small
place In college life. The one VINO
thinks of the debater's platform as
field of endeavor is counted amiably
eccentric by the average student AS
for earnest work with books In ths
ouiet of the room or in the library.

RAILWAY SIGNAL SCHOOLS.
Apprentices Take Three Year Courcc
In Block Signals.

The Pennsylvania Railroad has es-
tabIished signal schools on the III
visions of it's line east of Pittsburg TO
train men for the signal service Of
the system. This Is due, says the
Bookkeeper, to the rapid growth OF
block signaling which Is in use along
these lines. There are some 12,40S
signals east of Pittsburg, covering
2,385 miles OF road.
The railroad has appointed six sig.
nal apprentices who will be trained as
engineers to direct and plan signal
installations. Apprentices in these
schools will serve three years
course. The first year will be given
to mechanical work with the repair
and construction gangs, the second
year will find them in the Office OF the
supervisor of signals, and the third
year will be devoted to outside work

Who Wished to

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 21-The party of
suffragettes who are touring southern
Illinois in an auto met their first op-
position at Greenville yesterday morn
ing when they were ordered from the
public square by Chief of Police Lewis
Sloyd, but Mayor Gullick finally arose
from his sickbed and came to their
aid The two women who now con-
stitute the party arrived in Edwards
vile last night and Indignantly told
of their treatment in Greenville.
Miss Harriet Prim, state organizer
of the Illinois Equal Suffrage Associa-
ton and DR.. ETA Davis, state cam
paigner, are the speakers. other mem
bers of the party have returned home.
These two, upon arrival in Greenville,
procured permit from the mayor to
speak on the public square and were
just launching into their argument
for the ballot when the chief ordered
them from the street.
A street fair is in progress in
Greenville and the crowds had de,
serted the other attractions and were
gathered about the woman orators. A
street parade which was passing was
blockaded by the 1000 listeners.
In vain did the suffragettes insist
that they had right to use the street
Rather than risk arrest, they decided
to move two blocks away from the
square to 6, less crowded place But
the crowd followed them, and so die
! the policemen.
| Another lengthy argument occurred
Finally Mayor G. NJ Gullick, who only
1 few days ago was operated on
dressed himself. against his physi
clans wishes, and appeared on the
scene to aid the suffragettes. He or

BELFAST, Ireland, October 21-
The White Star lines giant steamer,
Olympic, was launched successfully.
Thousands of spectators watched the
monster ship glide down the ways.
The Olymic is the largest steamer
now afoat, being ss21s feet in length.
The Olympic exceeds by nearly 100
feet in length and $4,000 tons any
other ship afloat THE gigantic meas
urements of this vessel are best APP
preciated when it Is known that in
length the Olympic overtops the
height of the Metropolitan tower in
New York by 1872 feet, is twice as
long as the height of the dome of st.
Peters at Rome, and equals in length
the total drop of the famous Bridal
Veil fall in the Yosemite valley II
the Olympic and her sister vessel, III
tanic,soon to be launched, were placed
end to end under the Brooklyn bridge
they would completely block the East
River and extend over the shore 100
feet on each side. 1t is also inter
esting to note that the length of each
of these ships is four times the height
of Bunker Hill Monument.
These monsters of the deep will
each accommodate $500 passengers,
carrying crew of $50, and because of
the enormous size of the ships the
accom- tions, both as regards the
several public apartments and the
passenger staterooms. will be excep-
tionally spacious, while the beauty
and luxury of the appointments will
| surpass anything hitherto attempted.
Special attractions, such as Turkish
and electric bath establishments,
swimming pools, tennis courts, sun
perlors, sports decks and palm court
will be provided. in addition to res
smoking apartments. elevators, etc.
all of which will add much to the
pleasure OF q voyage on these marvels
of marine achievement.
The Olympic Will be propelled by a
unique combination of reciprocatine
engines with q lowpressure turbine
such as the White Star line has EN-
ployed so successfully on its Canadian
service steamer Laurentic. BY this
ingenious system vibration is elimina
