Will Be Important.
Well Known Religious Workers
of the Nation to Be Here.
MIR. WHITE is ONE.
General Secretary of Laymen's
Missionary Movement.
Preliminary Program Has Been
Made.

The final arrangements are being
made for the big Laymen's Missionary
convention which will commence on
Tuesday at o'clock with banquet ct
the Auditorium where it is expected
more than a thousand persons will be
seated. The registration for the con-
vention is already near the LOO mark
and there are now but a few of the
1000 banquet tickets which were print
ed remaining.
The program which is published be-
low is not complete in every detail, but
it gives an excellent idea of what class
of men viii be here as speakers.
The general secretary of the Lay
mems Missionary movement, J. Camp
bell White, will be here. Mr.. White, on
account of his 20 years of devotion to
Christian work, is well fitted for the
position which he holds.
He was graduated in 1890 from the
University of Wooster, Ohio. For the
next two years he Travelled among the
colleges of the United States, one year
as college secretary of the international
committee of the Young Mems Chris
tan association, and one year as secre-
tary of the Student Volunteer move
ment. After a year of special study he
went to Calcutta, India. as pioneer Sec
rotary of the Young Mems Christian
association in that great city, where he
worked until 1903. During those ten
years, he was associated with mission
aries Of many societies and of various
nations. He returned to America at the
call Of his own church to assist in
placing its missionary work upon a
more adequate basis, and was one of
the organizers Of the Mems Movement
in his own denomination.
Mr.. Eddy a Strong Man.
Geo. Sherwood Eddy, who speaks at
the banquet on Tuesday evening, is
one of the strongest men on the pro-
gram.
Mr.. Eddy was graduated from Yale
in the scientific department in 81. He

TO EDUCATE YOUTH.
Boston Man Leaves Large Estate to
Idaho and Dakota Boys.

Boston, Feb. 19.-Any christian
young man in Idaho or North Dakota
may now obtain a college education
free by agreeing never, so long as
he lives, to touch intoxicating liquor,
tobacco in any form, or "other mar
cOtics.''
This premium on abstemious living
is provided by the will of Charles
Botsford, a Boston merchant, which
was filed for probate yesterday. Mr..
Botsford left more than 100000, and
after making several minor charitable
requests the will orders that the resi-
due of the estate shall go to educate
the youth of Idaho and North Da-
kota who will sign the pledge stip-
ulated.
Mr.. Botsford was a strong advocate
of the prohibition cause. That cou-
pied with the fact that a part of his
life had been spent in the northwest,
explains his will.
The North Dakotans will be educat-
ed at Fargo college and the Idaho
youth will have their courses paid
for at the Idaho Industrial institute

Mr.. GAYNOR'S OPINION.
Says Japan's Cannon Is just as Pow
erfuI as Ours.

New York, Feb. 19.-"Japan is civil
lized: her gunpow6 is just as good
and her cannon are just as powerful
as ours, therefore she is fully civil
lied"
This is Mayor Gaynor's opinion of
our far eastern neighbors, expressed
at the dinner to Baron Uchida, the
Japanese am bassador, here last night.
There has been a notion in Europe
that Japan and the other eastern
nations are not civilized" continued
Mayor Gaynor. "Why the people of
Japan were civilized when our an
cestors were running naked in the
woods and literally burrowing in holes
for habitation. When the Arabs and
Moors came to Spain there was not
damask or hanging curtain in
Europe and there was not a woman
in Europe dressed in more than one
garment.
Japan is a great country. This is
also a great country and the two, if
they unite in peace and good WILL
may do much-very much-for each
other and for humanity everywhere.
Japan will let in flood of light for
this country. and it is possible that
the United States may let in a ray of
light upon Japan in return"

SISTERS FIND EACH OTHER.
Played Together When Children,
Ignorant of Relationship.

Bay City. Mich, Feb. 19.-After liv-
ing here during their girlhood as
schoolmates and playmates, Mrs. John
Sch1ettler of this city, and Mrs.
Charles Bell, now of Cleveland, have
discovered they are sisters. Twenty
four years ago the sisters, Mary, now
Mrs. Bell, and Elsie, Mrs. Schlettler,
were, with two other sisters and a
brother, placed in the Saginaw Or
phans home, following the death of
their parents.
Elsie was adopted by Silas Knight
and wife of Oakley, Mich, and short
ly afterward Mary became the foster
child of Mr.. and Mrs. Chauncey
Smith of this city. A few years later
the Knights moved to Bay City and
became neighbors of the Smiths. The
two girls became friends but neither
family divu1ged the facts concerning
the parentage of their foster daugh-
tiers, and their relationship was not
discovered.
Recently Mrs. Schlettler began
search for her brother and sisters and
in examining the orphanage records,
discovered that the little Smith
girl'' was her sister Mary. She was
later traced to Cleveland.

Plainfield, N. J., Feb. ia severe
case of "Peck's bad boy" which has
developed here is to be treated with a
paternal spanking by order of the city
court. Chauncey Birch, the 12-year-
old son of a local merchant, selected

a cord of wood, a twelve pound tur-
key, quantity of canned good, three
bolts of fabrics, three quarts of ice
cream, three pairs of shoes, a box of
ties and half dozen pairs of gloves,

directed the public service commission
to send a man to Hummell's place to
remove a gas meter, and notified the
United States Express company to call
and remove consignment of cans.

irving to explain things to the various
