ENTERED THE MINISTRY.

Twenty years ago he entered the
Methodist ministry in Louisiana. At
present he is member of the Gulf
Conference. For eight years his work
has lain in the great swamp region of
Louisiana. His principal appointment
is at Bayou Chene, st. Martins parish.
As Methodist minister Mr.. Sayers
faces conditions that are wholly un-
ique. Before obstacles that he has to
contend with and the privations that
he endures every day of his life the
hardships of the old time circuit rider
in this section dwindle into insignifi-
canoe.

RULE NOT VIOLATED.

AT present there are thirty-fve in
digent patients receiving treatment at
the tuberculosis .dispensary here. OF
this number there is not one whose
case is covered by rule 30 and who,
therefore, is subject to exclusion and
deportation.
Another new lule has gone into ef-
feet at the dispensary, which urfor-
tunately debars one or more poor per-
son, victims of tuberculosis, badly in
need of help from treatment at the
local dispensary. The rule provides
that any patient at the dispensary who
makes application and is admitted to
the Mt. Alto sanatorium and leaves
there without being honorably dis
charged shall never be readmitted to
the sanatorium nor treated at the local
dispensaries. a dishonorable dis
charge follows only when patients
break the rules of the sanatoTium re-
lating to the use of tobacco and alco-
hol or leaving under three months con-
trary TO advice. Up TO the present
four INDECENT patients have made ap-
plication through the local dispensary
for admission to Mt. Alton. With
the exceptions above noted patients
have remained under treatment there
until discharged by the physician.

THE BIG MORSE.

OF course the star of the game was
McHale, Danville's new pitcher. From
beginning to ending he gave such an
exhibition of twirling as has never
been seen in Bloomsbury. Bloomsbury
had seven hits, but they came when
McHale said they should hit; he had
six strike outs, and they, too, came
when he had decided that strike out
was about due; the rest of the time
Bloomsbu1g bats were laying ground
ers or raising flies to Danville field
ers, where the masterful McHale had
previously decided they should go.
1t would be difficult to convince the
Bloomsbury fans that they had gotten
anything out of the game, but we
would like to inform them that every
person on the ground got a liberal ed
ucation in base ball pitching when
they saw McHale work.
He included in his repertoire every
thing that pitcher should have, and
besides fielded his position in spectacu-
lar form. A Bloomsbury batter would
spank viciously at shoulder high
floater that McHale had started at his
ankles, and miss it by foot; then
stand dazed while the big smiling fell
low before him would groove smoke
ball across the plate that he was too

NOT GENERALLY KNOWN.

1t seems that n good many persons
are unfamiliar with an important rule
at the tuberculosis dispensary that is
rigidly lived up to. This rule forbids
that the physician in charge treat the
INDECENT patients for any other disease
than tuberculosis and that he treat
them only at the disTeusary; what at
tention the patients may require at
their homes is given by the visiting
nurse. Exception to the above rule
lies in those cases where the tuber-
culosis patients before they We're ad-
mitted to the dipsensary were regular
patients of the physician in charge.

THE PROCEDURE

Following the plan usually adopted
in such cases the costs will not be as

The owners of properties abutting on
the two squares will then be present.
ed with bill for the costs as COM
puted.
Should property owners decline to
pay their share of costs a petition will
be presented to court asking for the
appointment of jury of three men as
provided by the Act of May 81, 1897.
Section provides as follows: In
exercising the power aforesaid all pro-
ceedings for the ascertaining of dam.
ages and the assessment of benefits, in
cident thereto shall be as now provid-
ed by law in reference to payment of
costs, benefits, damages and expenses
of public improvements within muni-
cipal corporations.
.. AS brought out in Section of the
Act of May l6, 1891, the mode of pro-
cedure referred to is as follows: On

A DISMAL LIFE.

In the swamp region there are no
tarms-no towns-nothing in the way
of houses even, except a few "shacks''
primitive beyond belief. Yet through
out this great area human beings sub
sist and families are reared.
Large tracts of timber land are be-
ing cleared, but the principal occupa-
tion of the people are fishing and trap
ping.
Mr.. Sayers' circuit embraces two
hundred miles. He travels exclusively
in boat, winding his way in and out
among the bayous or inlets from the
lakes or large rivers that move loiter-
ingly through the illimitable swamps,
where mosquitoes formidable in size
and in untold millions assail him.
The clergyman boat is propelled by
gasolene and is equipped with head
light. 1t is a specially designed craft;
it affords sleeping quarters and is, in
deed, the only home that Mr.. Sayers
knows for long intervals,
SPARSELY SETTLED.
The great swamp region is very
sparsely settled. Among those who
have penetrated the place and are try
ing their fortunes numbering and in
other yocations are some college men.
The The people, however, are
gross Grant, although emotional
and -, no means unresponsive.
On tiIe whole Mr. Savers is consid.
erabIv encouraged by results. The peo-
pie are willing to he taught. In many
instances lie finds large families living
outside Of wCGlock-not because of
innate depravity, it should be ex-
planned, but rather because they have
so long been neglected. As soon as
they are shown the error of their ways
the men and women rearing families
agree to be married and Mr. Sayers
ties the belated nuptial knot. There
are many persons who know nothing
of the plan of salvation-who know
nothing of the Bible and are familiar
with the word God only as it occurs
in profane language.
CALLED TO THE WORK.
Mr.. Sayers declares that it is a settl-
ed conviction with him that he is call
ed of God to carry the gospel of Jesus
Christ into this almost impenetrable
and long neglected field. Frequently
his congregations number less than
dozen; twenty-five or thirty seems to
be about the limit. Services are held
wherever shelter can be found from
the scorching sun: often at night un.
der the light of the moon.
Strange as it may appear the climate
is not unhealthy and Mr.. Sayers is the
picture of health. Mosquitoes, how
ever, are ceaseless torment and are
in evidence the whole year round.
The only relief afforded is by means
of mosquito netting. Snow is pratical-
ly unknown in the swamp region and
ice even the thickness of glass is a
rarity.
The present is NJ. SayeIs' first vis-
it to his old home since he left here
forty mine years ago.

WILL THERE Be
OBJECTIONS?

General interest centers on the next
meeting of council, Friday night, the
date set for hearing objections to the
paving of East Market street between
Mill and Pine streets
Unless very strong opposition should
develop council will proceed forthwith
to prepare an ordinance authorizing
the improvement The committee will
no doubt report at special meeting
and the ordinance will be adopted as
quickly as possible to the end that
formality may be complied with and
the two remaining squares ready for
paving by the time the section now
under way is completed.

depressed over the momentary expecta-
ton of a cabIegTam announcing the
death of his brother in Paris, Colonel
Samuel Newhouse has determined to
return to his Salt Lake home. and will

effect that ne had disposed of the New
house hotel to an insurance company

Mr. NewhOuse. Il have not sold the
Newhouse hotel, nor do I expect to sell.
Salt Lake is my home, and / might as
well close out all my interests there as
to sell the hotel. No. sir, the NewhOuse
sale. 1 shall hold the control of the
stock"
''You may say to my friends in Salt
Lake that the NewhOuse theatre will
be constructed according to contract.
This calls for its completion next DC
tOber. The steel for its construction is
now being rolled and VIII be forwarded
to Salt Lake just as soon as possible.
The theatre has. not been abandoned,
nor has such an idea been entertained
for one moment. The delay in con-
structiOn is occasiOned by the struc-
tural steel makers. and no other rea-
son. The theatre will be completed on
schedule time, Of this you may be sure. -
Mr.. NeWhouse said he would be glad
to get back home again. Mrs. New
house win also go west with her hus-
bard.
