vERACITY OF THE BIBLE
After Visit to the Holy Land Even
Skeptic Must Be Con-
WINGED.

One thing cannot fail to impress
deed, to the Holy Land generally, who
is imbued with true Christian faith
and proper sense of the sanctity
of the location and of the events that
have transpired there, and that Is
the more than remarkable correspond
ence between the things and places
shown us today as having been asso-
ciated with the life and work of the
Saviour and other events that enter
into the structure of our religious
faith and the descriptions and &C
counts of them, as furnished us in
the pages of the Holy Scriptures.
They agree with them in every re-
spect and 1t is impossible, after care
fully considering and comparing them,
to doubt their identity, so exactly
are they in accord with the Bible
narrative.

ment of the buildings, the very articles

where modern methods have not be-
come obtrusive the manners and GUS
toms of the people remain much the
same as in the days of the presence
on earth of the Saviour. Between the
descriptions given in the Bible of
localities. climatic and geographical
conditions, distances, etc, of these
times and those of today there is
hardly any discrepancy. even
skeptic, considering this remarkable
accord of circumstances with the
Biblical narrative. cannot but be con-
vinced of its veracity; to the believer
it comes as wonderful conviction,

couragement to see things as those
who described them so graphically
saw them so long ago.-Columbia

FLESHY WOMAN FINDS FAULT
Has Not a Good Word to Say for
Frocks or Millinery of
This Season.
JULIA BOTToMLEY,

1t is interesting to note the ANNA.
ton with which women, or rather
some women. attack the present
styles. 1t is invariably the woman of
flesh who is the most emphatic in dis
approval. Not a good word is to be
said by her for frocks or millinery of
this season.
Hats are imprudently absurd. skirts
immodestly cut, jackets trivial, and
even the efforts of great dressmakers
dubbed futile and unconvincing, as she
tells it. 1t is a season, according to
the woman whose hips refuse to re-
move themselves, of grotesque absur-
dities. The hysterical note is struck.
So why argue?
Whether we argue or not certain
things must be acknowledged. The
present fashions in some directions
have reached such perfection that to
condemn them is ridiculous, to ignore
them impossible. So let us forget the
fact that our too comfortable contours
refuse brazenly to confine themselves
within the slim limits of the present
silhouette and see if we cannot Judge
of the fashions of the day with an
unbiased eye. if not with entirely un-
trammeled hips
In spite of criticism and caricature
they may alone be called epoch ma
king. Line and drapery have clothed
themselves in such artistic grace;
color and fabric have attained such
perfection of combination and weave
that they take their places with fam
Gus fashions of other days.
They are in great measure re-
vivals. yet revivals so skillfully adapt.
ed to our needs and environment that
they are accepted with enthusiasm by
the intelligent few. The lover of color
and line rejoices in their existence,
the beauty-loving eye revels in their
softly woven and luxurious fabrics.

Strike of Railroad Employees
in France Has Assumed

A NATIONAL CHARACTER

Paris, Oct lS-The strike Of railroad
employees is rapidly spreading through.
out the republic and threatens to be.
come general by Tomorrow morning
Traffic is dsorganized. as the railroad
managers cannot possibly cope with the
situation.
1t is upon the government, however
that the burden rests, The cabinet has
determined to take the bull by the
horns and mas called the strikers to the
colors in their capacity as reservists.
The strikers declare that they will
not respond, holding that the law pro-
viding for military organization did not
intend to make it impossible for train
men to protest effectively against con-
ditions Of labor which they considered
unfair
This issue between the government
and the strikers constitutes the most
serious phase Of the situation The
reservists VINO fail to report for duty
may be regarded as deserters and dealt
with accordingly,
Following the strike on the Northern
road Tuesday the central state com
mittee Of the national railroad union
decided to call out every employee Of
the private aud state owned roads.
Tuesday night the employees OF the
Western railroad, who also have griey-
ances. decided to go out, Their example
vas followed yesterday morning by the
trainmen of the Eastern railroad who
voted to quit work at noon, and by men
of the Paris, Lyons & Mediterranean
lines, who voted to quit last evening
The leaders declare that the strike
will be general throughout France by
to-day, when not a single train will be
in motion at any point in the republic
Troops have been sent out to occupy
principal points on all railroads. Soon
after noon, a decree calling every rail
road employee in France to the colors
was issued,
The strikers demand a general increase
with minimum of 81 day a retro
active application of the employees pen
sion law; more equitable division Of
labor; one day off in seven and employ

The great railway lines are the East

the state and the belt line.
The total traekage is nearly $4,000
miles and some 100000 employees will
be involved in general strike The
men Of the Eastern, Western, Northern

ready have voted to stop work The

He Retires From the Repub-

OF NEW YORK STATE
Thinks Loyalty Is Questioned--Filling
His Place Is Likely to Involve
Some Interesting
Problems

Albany, N. ~, Oct. Contending

publican state committee, to reappoint
him member of the executive commit
tee OF the state committee, William
Barnes, jr., OF Albany, has rendered Ills
resignation as state committeeman from
the 23d congressional district, compris-
ing Albany and Schenectady counties.
Mr.. Barnes led the fight against the
selection of Colonel Roosevelt as tempo
rary chairman of the recent Republican
state convention at Saratoga
In his letter Mr.. Barnes SAYS
In reading the list OF the members
of the executive committee of the state
committee announced by you this morn

THE mere fact of membership in the

portant, but after having served as a
member of that committee ever since /

in 1892, the omission involves the iney-
table conclusion that your action was
caused either by your belief that my
services would not be useful or that /
was faithless to the Republican ticket

utiye committee for Is years, if my sery-
ices arc no longer useful or nv party

1T has been my habit not to carry
lightly the responsibilities and burdens
OF the committeemanship, which / have
held. / cannot, therefore, maintain the
proper sense of political ethics and serve
upon committee the chairman of which
holds the attitude toward my political
activity which you have disclosed. /,
therefore, tender my resignation to YOU
as a member of the state committee,
TO take effect Immediately
"rhe state convention is the supreme
authority of the party, and | shall vote

Mr.. Barnes was reelected state com.
mitteeman for two years during the Sar.
atoga convention, although the vote of
Schenectady county was cast against
him. II the state committee accepts
the resignation, it has the power to fill
the vacancy. There appears to be some
doubt as to whether any active member
Of the Albany county organization would
accept the appointment On the other
hand, If supporter of Colonel Roose-
welt is named as Mr.. Barnes successor,
