BISHOP HENDRIX TO BE TRIEI
Stir in Methodist Church Over Van.
derbilt University

We are informed that Bishop E. R.
Hendrix, Of Kansas City, Mo-, will
be cited for trial before a committee
of twelve elders of the Methodist
Episcopal church South, in 60 days.
Chancellor J. H. Kirkland, of Van
derbilt University, will be removed
from his Office by the Methodist col
lege of bishops next month, and nine
teen members of the board of trustees
of the university will be elected from
their trusteeship for INSTRUMENTATION
and definace of the church.
Bishop Hendrix is the president Of
the board. At the recent general
conference the church went on record
as holding that the Vanderbilt uni
versity belongs in fee simple to the
Methodists of the South, and instruct
ed the college of bishops, of which
Bishop Hendrix is member, to take
all legal steps to enforce this claim.
When the board of trustees met last
week it rejected three trustees that
the church had selected to fill vacan.
cies, and tabled resolution that
affirmed the ownership of the church.
Bishop Hendrix was with the major.
ity in both votes.

Tears dimmed the eyes of the former
President as he stepped en- the bulk

the roar of thousands of voices and the
shrieks of hundreds of steamboat
whistles drowned ont the soft strains
of "Home Sweet Home. +"

behind his own Rough Riders through
five miles of persons. cheering in one
continuous roar, that reached from
Battery Park to Central Park Plaza.
Fully million and half persons
stood and waited for the moment
when, in ship or in carriage, the re-
turning Roosevelt should come within
their field Of vision, and when he did,
the noise broke loose. Bands blared,
canon crashed and sirens screamed,
but above their din rose the steady
continuous thunder of human well

'Oh, you Roosevelt!'' GOOD old

and through it all he rode bare headed,

Theodore Roosevelt is little changed
from the man who sailed for Africa
fifteen months ago. A little more
grizzled, perhaps, as to the framing OF
his upper lip, a trifle heavier in the
shoulders from the muscle forming

But the flat-topped head was flung
back as defiantly as when Of old he
faced an audience. the glistening teeth

gripped in handshake with all the

NEW RAILROAD
Wrecked by Recent Great Floods In

WCSt " Au1d
Cumberland, Nd, June 18.-The
rushing waters form the South Branch
Of the Potomac, which have wreck
ed the Hampshire Southern Rail
road, have caused the main stream
to pass the food stage and inun-
date the Baltimore and Ohio main
line tracks at Cherry Run and Sir
Johns Run.
The branch Of the Baltimore and

commission since O'Clock yesterday
afternoon. At Romney this line con-
meets with the NEW Hampshire South

Petersburg, a total distance of 40
miles This line, which was financed
largely by Milton E. Allies, Washing

wiped out at some points. Fills are
said to be washed out completely,
bridges torn dorm, and sections of the
track carried before the food as if

AUGUSTA AVIATOR
Has Procured Patent for Flying
Machine

MIR. Thomas J. Whalen, who lives
abont mites out Of STAUNTON on
the Greenville road, was awarded a
patent for Flying Machine Gu
March IL, 1903. Few persons in tins
section knew that the subject OF ava
ton had received attention from any
one Of our people. But such is the
fact. Mr.. Whalen has all Of his
drawings complete and his idea is not
the plane as used by the Wrights,
Curtiss, and others, but, propellers
that open and close at the right time,
after the manner of the wings Of q
bird though not in shape of them
He claims that the only real idea of
AVIATION must be gathered from ma
ture as there the perfect flying is seen
and done. Mr.. Whalen believesl his
machine could be made to move at
the rate of 100 miles per hour, or be
reduced to miles per hour His
motor is a gasoline engine, and whilst
his original draft was for endless
chains to drive his propellors, he
thinks he now prefers direct bearings.
He has become interested in the
$50, 600 prize offered by the New York
World for flight from New York to
st. Louis and is anxious to interest
capital in his patent, that his machine
may compete in the race for that
prize.
The mechanical genuius of Mr..
Whalen is well known, but he is not
of an age to himself operate a flying
machine, even though he might have
the best made. Yet now that avia-
tion is of such vital interest that ma
tions are taking it up, as we'll as
companies and individuals, every in
ventor stands some chance of having
his ideas tested and Mr.. Whalen NAV,
by this means get his before the pub
lie. He has not the Individual means
however to r:lsh it himself.

marked, rather sullenly, that beef
steak, at least, did not bawl. So Mr..
Spillgath did the best he could for
a while, but the COW grew worse. She
wanted the spin-wheels in the top of
the elm tree so she could be climbing
the tree and watching the fireworks
simultaneously. This really aggravat-
ed Reverend Spillgath, although he is
one of the kindest hearted of men,
and he said that as Aunt Rhinocolura
had ceased her contributions it was
evident to him that this was the kind
of COW that would never be happy
anywhere but in Heaven. The butch.
er gave him twenty-eight dollars for
the COW. Of course Aunt Rhinocolura
did not get any of the twenty-eight
dollars, for she was merely a con.
tributing member, but she was al
lowed to buy all the COW steaks she
wanted from the butcher at the regu-
lar rate. And Reverend Spillgath's
bill for damage to his apple tree was
only twenty-eight dollars.

they would all take hold of the COW
and give her a mighty boost into the

boosted so hard that they tossed the

over the fence into Orone McDoobles

the crotch anyway, sooner or later,
and it saved time. When they tossed
the COW right over they were able to

she fell with a thud and bawled Just

The Reverend Ebenezer Spillgath,
of Betzville, is one of the kindest
hearted men in our midst, and organ.
izer of the Betzville society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, of
which Aunt Rhinocolura Betz is the
other member, but there are some an
imals it is mighty hard to please.
About a year ago Mr.. Spillgath
heard a calf bawling in Orone Nc
boobies barn, and it bawled so sadly
that Mr.. Spillgath's heart was touched,
and he went in and upbraided Orone,
but all Orone said was that if the
Reverend Spillgath felt that way about
it he could have the plagued calf and
welcome, but that as for him, he
wasn't going to spend all his time try
ing to teach wobbly-legged cow-child
to climb trees. So the Reverend Spill
gath upbraided Orone few times for
his language, and took the calf home.
In less than year he wished he
hadn't.
AS soon as he had the calf home he
turned it loose in the back yard and
went over to Aunt Rhinocolura's to
secure a donation for the purpose of
improving the happiness of the calf,
but when he reached home again the
calf was sadder than ever. It was
standing before an apple tree with it's
front feet on the trunk looking up
into the boughs and bawling piteously.
1t was evident that the calf wanted to
climb the tree, and Mr.. Spillgath is
kind hearted, so he gave the calf a
boost and it scrambled into the crotch
of the tree. AS soon as it was up it
emitted little bleat of Joy and imme-
diately fell down the other side of the
