n. {. Church Notes

In the death Of Bishop Cyrus d.
Foss the Methodist church loses
one Of its strongest men.
Bro. Calvin Allen, who has been
seriously ill in San Diego, Cali,
is much improved in health.
Could better use of time be made
than to spend one hour on the first
fifteen verses of the sixth chapter
of Matthew Read, study and alb
sorb it.
Judging from the the tone of a
recent letter from Bro. and Sister
Geo. Clark, they are still looking
on the brightside of life and time
is dealing gently with them.
We greatly enjoyed two splendid,
helpful sermons from Bro. Sissons
last Sabbath, who filled the pulpit
during the temporary illness OF the
pastor. Bro. Sissons' creed is large
enough and broad enough to take
in the whole world, if they love the
Lord and are willing to serve Him
The w. f. M. sociecy, which
met with Sister Foster Burke last
Wednesday, was largely attended,
Notwithstanding the unpleasantness
of the weather. After the devo-
tional services, the study of the
lesson, which included the religious
condition of and the work accom-
plished by the missionary societies
in Mexico, Central America and the
West Indies, was taken up. Az
brief session of the Ladies' Aid
society followed, after which So
cial hour in which refreshments
were served was greatly enjoyed by
all present.
Recently your correspondent saw
in home a so-called reputable
daily paper. AS it lay open upon
the table, there appeared a cut of a
long necked bottle, FIVE inches high,
and in large type we read, Il Full
Quart Whiskey Free; Try 1t at
Our Expense" On another page
was similar ad. that contained
this: Our choicest whiskies, 4
full quarts for $500, express pre-
paid" The time is here when we
must take a stand either for or
against this kind of business. That
kind of literature is pernfcious.
There may be a difference between
,he man who ties on a white apron
md stands behind the bar and sells
openly and the man who advertises
;he business. There can be no
in the motive. They
ooth do it for a price. There is an
I'D axiom that everyone is familiar
With: Things that are equal to
he same thing are equal to each
,ther."

sad the lot Of those who faint and
fall in the struggle. Short or long
to the top, it can only be scaled by
persistent climbing. There must
be ambition to do and dare, or the
prize will not be secured.
Have you in the vigor Of youth
begun the journey9 Already are
you tired and weary? Are you
resting by the way in slothful in
diligence, hoping for wings or sails
to bear yon aloft without effortY
Long before manhood's prime you
will miss the top and go down hill,
Arouse for another effort. At the
base is the thorn, at the summit
the crown. There is no escape
from the one or the other in the life
journey. Which will you have,
wealth or poverty, comfort or
squalor? Decide in the dew Of
morning.
At high noon stand out a man
on the peak Of endeavor wearing
your own crown.
Have you noticed how large a
number of persons with whom you
stop to have a little chat speak of
the dark blotches Of human nature
in the lives of someoneY We will
not except the person of highest
moral standing in the community.
Nine out Of every ten persons in a
ten minute talk will bring up the
defects in some ones life, and one
out of hundred may possibly
startle you by speaking only of the
good that may be found in almost
every individual. There is no life
without it's defects, neither without
it's excellencies, and what a differ
ent coloring it would give to
humanity if the rule was reversed
to what is. And, reader, it rests
with you and us to start the re-
form, and with such good start
as we may be able to give it, we
are sure it will be contagious if we
persevere. For when neighbors
speak naught of i'll and only laud
the good that is in US, we will not
be far from that glorious period
denominated the millennium.
For a wonder, it is now the
fashion for a woman to be as
healthy as she can. Fresh air is
to be good thing for the
complexion. No one disputes that
a girl who is an invalid I.can walk
i've miles a day without fatigue, |
and an hours canter on good |
horse is recommended as a more
1elpful pastime than lying abed or
reading French novels. The new
style for women has not arrived a
Dit too soon. American women
we're getting to be a worthless lot,
'prightly enough in intellect-per-
laps too sprightly-but painfully |
deficient in bodily development and
lealth. But they were entirely to
blame. Degenerate man seemed to
ike them that way-possibly be-
ause he was in the same box him
elf. To the credit of woman be it
aid that she would rather be round
lmbed, strong of chest, fair of
heck and bright of eye; and it is
notable fact that as soon as the
ising male generation took to ath-
stics and to bracing up generally,
he girls promptly followed the
ood example.

CENTENNIAL .FETES
REACH CLIMAX
City of Mexico in Gala At
tire to Celebrate indie
pendence of Mexico.

City of Mexico, Sept. 16.-Bands
playing, soldiers marching, streets
aflutter with bunting and throngs in
holiday attire have made this, the
principal day of the Mexican centen-
NAL celebration all that months of
preparation have promised. Early
this morning the inhabitants of the
capital, the most of whom had re-
manned on the streets until late
hour last night to enjoy the mag
nificent pyrotechnical displays, were
aroused from their sleep by heralds
who made it officially known that the
great day of celebration was at hand.
Before 10 O'Clock the streets and
public squares were filled with men,
women and children who purposed
to miss no feature of the days elab-
crate program of festivities and cere-
monies. Thousands of visitors from
the surrounding towns added to the
immense crowds.
The city. had put on its gayest at
tire. Leading merchants had We'd
with each other in contributing to
the brilliancy of the display. The
decorations of the Avenida Cinco de
Mayo, the Avenida San Francisco,
the Avenida 16 de Septembre, the
Avenida JuareZ, and other important
and we'll known thoroughfares in the
heart of the business section of the
city, were especially profuse. All the
public buildings were decked in the
most elaborate manner Unusually
brilliant and magnificent were the
decorations on the handsome public
buildings around 1.-The Zocalo," the
famous plaza on which fronts the
National palace and several of the
principal government buildings.
The two big events of the day were
the dedication of the national monu-
ment to independence in the Paseo
de la Reforma and the great military
parade which took place Immediately
after the dedication ceremony. To-
night the official opening of congress
with the annual message of Presi-
dent Diaz forms an appropriate close
to one of the most memorable days
in the history of the republic.
The grand military parade includ-
ed 10000 soldiers, representing
every branch of the service. The
procession was three hours in pass

JUDICIAL TICKET
To Be NAMED
Insurgent and Democratic
Leaders Meet for the Pur-
pose in. Tacoma.

Insurgent leaders from every coun-
ty in the state will hold conference
in Tacoma September 26 and on the
following day will confer with demo-
cratic leaders over the nomination
of judicial ticket to be chosen at
the democratic state convention,
meeting in Tacoma September 81.
While insurgent leaders are anx-
ious to name a ticket of their own
there is no manner in which they
can accomplish this. The only thing
they can do is to advise with demo-
Gratis and induce the leaders to name
at least two insurgent republicans
on what will be known as a demo-
cratic ticket
AS repeatedly announced, demo-
cratic politicians have been working
toward this end for several weeks.
The democrats have been willing to
recognize two insurgent republicans
on their state ticket, preferring to
pick them from eastern Washington.
1t is thoroughly understood both
by insurgents and democrats that
William Hickman Moore. of Seattle,
and Judge Jere Neterer, of Belling-
ham, are to have two of the demo-
cratic nominations.
Some of the insurgent republicans
demand that they get the three
other places, but democratic leaders
insist that their party should have
three on the ticket. Democratic
leaders in western Washington want
three of the places on the ticket,
though not so particular as to whe-
Their the third man is a democrat or
an insurgent republican.
In addition to nominating five can
didates for the supreme court, the
league purposes making a deter
mined fight to have the nomination
of judges restored to the primary
ballot.
The plan first suggested, of nOmi-
mating five entirely new men, three
republicans and two democrats, to
oppose the present justices of the
supreme court, who received the in
dorsement of the republican state
convention, will probably be aban-
doned, because it is felt that to make
the movement properly nonpartisan
there should be no attempt at an up
heaval, nor any disposition to change
the entire complexion of the court
in a single campaign.
The idea of recognizing the SER
vices of Judge Frank H. Rudkin and
Judge Mark A. Fullerton finds favor
among many behind the movement.

ing the stand, whence it was re-
viewed by President Diaz, Vice Presi-
dent Corral, the official representa-
tives of foreign nations, members of
the senate and chamber of deputies,
the delegates to the Americanist con-
gress and many prominent citizens.
Whenever he appeared during the
day President Diaz was greeted with
an enthusiastic outburst of ''vivas.
The international aspect of the
celebration was attested by the pres
ence of official representatives of 20
countries of America and Europe.
Among the governments thus rep
resented by special ambassadors
were the United States, Great Brit
ain, Japan, Cuba, Italy. Austria-Hun-
gary, Argentine, Santo Domingo,
Honduras, Venezuela, Switzerland
and Germany.
Reports from all points through
out the country, including Monterey,
Tampico, San Luis Potosi, Saltillo,
Torreon and hundreds of smaller
towns, tell of the general observance
OF the centennial anniversary. So
far as the reports indicate there has
not been the slightest disturbance to
mar the celebration.
