TRYING ISLANDER SUIT.
Chicago Court Hears $4,000 Case Involv-
ing Woman and Methodist
Episcopal Pastors.

CHICAGO, H., June 16.-A SANDER
suit involving the names of Methodist
Episcopal clergymen was begun in Judge
Mangen's court here today, the com
plainant being Mrs Mary Lavender who
seeks $4,000 damages from the Rev.
John B. Crawford, pastor of the Wood
lawn Methodist Episcopal church.
Unusual interest attaches to the case
for the reason that the jury may have
to consider whether a protestant pastor
should hold inviolate any confession Of
a parishioner.
Mrs. Lavender, a devout member, is
said by Rev. Crawford to have made a
confdant Of him with reference to her
relations with another minister of the
Methodist faith Rev. John D. Leek
According to Rev. Crawford, he felt
honor bound to relate what he had heard
with reference to Leek to Bishop Nc
Dowell. Later the story became public
and thereafter Rev. Crawford spoke
with considerable freedom to newspaper
reporters. Mrs. Lavender alleges that
he distorted the facts. Rev. Leek re-
signed from the Chicago conference.

THE BUSINESS GIRL.
Hints That Will Enable Her to Win
Her Way

Girls desiring to enter upon business
career must impress upon their minds
the fact that an employer appreciates
women who can seize his ideas and fol-
low them out without asking thousand
and one questions. They must not think
that because they are girls an employer
should be more considerate toward them
and their shortcomings than he would
be toward those of man.
Then, again, some girls are apt to be
oversensitive when they first enter al
office, store or warehouse, and consider
that every little thing done well is de-
serving of praise from their employers.
Perhaps it may be, but in five cases out
of six the employer has no time to praise
his assistant. If a girl knows and be-
Iieves she is doing her very best, even
in the smallest detail, she will have the
reward of a quiet conscience, and
kindly employer will not forget a word
Of encouragement voluntarily from time
to time.
A girl should take every opportunity
Of improving her talents She should
not be afraid of doing little extra work,
or think that she was doing more than
her share when her employer asks her
to do a little overtime" Nothing is
lost by it in the long run. Too many
women are penny wise and pound
foolish" forgetting that whatever fur
theirs the interests Of the house that en-
ploys them will eventually further their
own, provided, of course, they are indus
trious energetic and faithful.
Success is q plant which requires con-
slant care of oneself and ones work if
it is to flourish, and the girl who will
succeed in all phases of life is undouht-
eddy the one who knows herself and her
capabilities, and has the tact and faculty
to use that knowledge to the best ad-
vantage.

CIRCUS TRAIN
WRECKED and
ANIMALS FLEE
CARS LEAVE TRACK, SMASHING
CAGES, AND BEASTS ESCAPE
IN DARKNESS.
THE CONFUSION is TERRIFYING
Two Lions, Elephant, Hyena, Leopard
and Ibex Now at Large Near
Scene of Accident.
FARMERS REFUSE TO LEAVE HOMES

EBENSBURG, Pa, June 16.-A If
teen-car circus train of the Frank A.
Robbins shows was wrecked one mile
from here early today on the Cambria
and Cresson branch of the Pennsylvania
railroad.
Two hons, an elephant, one leopard,
one hyena, one jaguar and an lbexk are
now at large as a result of the derall-
ment. Several circus employees were in
jured. The more seriously injured were
removed to hospitals in Altoona.
At the scene of the wreck a low bridge
spans a deep gully. AS the circus train
passed over the bridge three of the Iwag-
ons which contained the animals struck
low hanging Orders and were over
turned.
The cars carrying the wagon cages
were derailed and thrown over tae en-
bankment leading to the bridge.
Confusion Is Terrifying.
In the darkness Of the early rlorning
the confusion following the derailment
of the menagerie cars was terrifying.
The bowls of the wild animalsy which
fed in every direction, was mingled with
cries of the injured men, pinneGf under
the wreckage. At the time of tae acct
dent the train was making better than
twenty miles an hour on a dOwl grade.
The engineer stated that he threw Oh
his emergency brakes when he felt the
first shock of the cars against the bridge
Orders. His act probably saved many
lives.
Search for Animals.
The entire country for miles around is
in a state of terror. Many Of the farm
ers and their families refused to leave
their homes and take up the search for
the liberated menagerie beasts. Circus
employees are beating the woods. hauling
temporary cages with them, in an eff
fort to corral the animals.
A special train sent from here with
physicians and nurses, assisted in the
care of the injured. Two of the circus
employees may die

Apple Raising Most Profta bic.

The apple is the king Of fruits. 1t is
used in more different ways than any
other food, and is the only fruit that one
can enjoy every day in the year The
apple-tree, moreover. is the hardest of
fruit trees, and in a region like the Paci-
fc Northwest thrives and bears apples
without care of any kind, but with cul-
tivation and scientific direction the pro-
duction is sure and very large.
The Pacific Northwest contains the
only territory now being successfully
planted to apple trees. Moreover, in
this favored land the productive area is
confined to a few small protected val
leys, and only a part of each, the bench
or lakeland, is adapted to fruit-raislng.
In word, the market for good
apples is hopelessly undersupplied,
and the prices are tending to increase
rather than decrease, especially for the
fancy product of the North Pacific val
leys, where 80 per cent Of the apples Of
all good varieties are fancy.
The Irrigated Apple Lands in These
Protected Valleys are admittedly the
Most Valuable Productive Lands in the
World. Net profits Of from $500 to
$1,000 per acre in a single year are the
authentic records of scores of orchards
In the best districts, and the price for
well-bearing, mature orchards Is prac-
tically prohibitive. Sales have been made
for more than $1,000 per acre for Or
chards not yet in bearing. It is signif-
cant that no land whatsoever in these re-
markable fruit regions has ever de-
Perforated in value, but has doubled and
Quadrupled and is still advancing with
the developing civilization. These prece-
dents also apply to orchards being plant
ed at the present time.

noon. after reading newspaper reports
of the lively tilt in the senate following
the reading OF a letter addressed to

Clifford Pinchot, in which the chief for
ester vigorously upheld subordinates in

sent out hurry call for such members
odf his cabinet as were within reach.

Gen. Wickersham and Secy, Wilson
soon put in an appearance.
1t was said that Forester Plnchot's
conduct in sending an official communi
cation to the chairman of q congress
sional committee was freely discussed
although none of the cabinet officers
who participated In tho conference
would discuss their call to the White
House.
President Taft some time ago issued
an order that no subordinate in any
government department should disclose
any information to Congress, except
through the head of the department.
Mr.. Pinchot, In his letter virtually up
holds Claws and describes him as the
most vigorous defender OF the peoples
interests" despite the fact that Presi-
dent Taft had declared Claws unfit to
remain In the public service. This di-
rect slap at the president and the fur
thcr declaration by Mr., Pinchot that
the Cunningham coal lands really werc

flcials took hand In the fight, thus
impugning the intentions of high Of

said to have aroused Mr.. Taft to keen
resentment.
