Z TAINTED MONEY"
PASTOR RESIGNS

COLUMBUS, OHIO.-Special.- Dr.
Washington GLADDEN.. famed for his
opposition to accepting John d. Rock
efeller's money for missionary pur-
poses and the originator of the term
tainted money" has written a letter
TO his congregation, of the First Con-
gregational Church, announcing his
early retirement from active duties in
connection with the church. He
yields leadership TO his new assistant,
DR.. Carl l. Patton, acknowledging that
he is at loss to account for the thin
ming OF his Congregations number at
Sunday services.
He makes a personal appeal, which
he says is his last, to the members of
his church to come back and I'LL the
seats.
DIR. GLADDEN. also points to the fact
that he is advancing in years and be-
ieVes that younger man may be able
to accomplish that which seemed i'm
possible for him to do.
In his appeal to his congregation DR..
GLADDEN. wrote:
Il do not attribute the absence of
church members in many cases to dis
affection; in most cases l believe it is
simply lack OF interest. For some
reason they have formed the habit OF
church neglect. Some of them de-
vote their Sundays to pleasure-the
ways of Sunday diversion have been
multiplying of late. All this means
that the interests of recreation have
taken precedence in the minds OF
many church members, of the interests
of the higher life"

HANKOW, CHINA Special
Soldiers were dispatched into Ngan
Hwei province today to aid in the re-
lief work for the survivors of the de-
vastating food of the Yang Use Kiang
River. which claimed 100000 lives
and laid waste to many crops. At the
same time an appeal was made to the
government to solicit assistance from
foreign countries for the survivors
who are perishing from starvation and
exposure. American and other
foreign missionaries are doing their
utmost to succor the suffering.
Native dispatch bearers from the
devastated zone declare that heavy
rains in the Kuen-Lun mountains
caused the food. They also said that
the Imperial Canal was out of its
banks.
The usual scenes of lawlessness are
following in the wake of the disaster.
Outlaw bands affiliated with the
Boxers" have seized the opportunity
to Kill and loot unchecked. There is
a complete absence of a reign of law
within the borders of the flood swept
area.

man whose disappearance Wednesday
night from the Government surveying
camp caused a wide search to be in
stituted for him, as ii was feared he
had fallen victim 10 the desert heat
arrived in Reno considerably improved
after his narrow escape from death.
Samples of ore taken from ledge
discovered by Mahoney gave evidence
of containing a large amount of silver.
MahOney says he is confident of being
able to return to the scene of his find,
but will not do so unless accompanied
by others more used to the ways OF the
desert. He admitted his trip across
the desert had been made in an un-
dress uniform consisting solely Of I'M
deTgarments and shoes.
Mahoney was working five miles
from camp. He complained of heat
and asked PERMISSION to return to
camp. His request was refused, the
trip alone being regarded as too dan
gerous, but he insisted and left.

MENACED BY SHARK AND
STARVING, HE ATE HIS COAT

BATH, ME- Special.-Joseph A.
Pottle, a fisherman, who three days
ago was lost on the Atlantic, having
lost sight OF his vessel, was rescued to-
day by a party of Bar Harbor yachts
men and taken to port.
Pottle told a tale of terrible suffer-
ing. While out in his boat gathering
in his travis he became lost in the
fog, and, despite his cries, he was I'M
able to learn how near the vessel was.
Finally he concluded to row around in
a circle, broadening it at times.
Pottle then decided that he would
throw all the fish overheard, thinking
it would be but a matter of hours only
when he would reach the coast, but
his reckonings proved to be incOr-
rect. In throwing over the fish a
shark was attracted and showed fight.
thinking, apparently, that the man in
the boat was throwing missiles at him.
Pottle fought off the infuriateed
fish for forty minutes, finally beating
it off with the oars and throwing the
Melted travis around the fish's sword,
which at one time penetrated the boat
above the water line.
POttle, growing weak on the third
day, started to eat parts of his coat to
appease his hunger, and was almost
deprived of strength when rescued.

Magazine. Mr.. Burroughs runs an

a weather beaten SLOUGH hat and bro

sack was gowned in white, with blue
dots, and wore an India rubber en-
gagement ring. Pulling on the rein
to stop the mule, the youthful noun

In these days we hear great deal
about women's rights. but some of
them, ii seems to me, are really wo-
mems wrongs. The masters Of fash

place alongside man by shaping her
garments so that they more closely
resemble mems attire, with the re-
suit that she disfigures her form and
beauty and deforms her nature.
Gone is the old-time expression of
womanly sweetness and modestyi In
its place we have the swagger and the
stare.
In one way women might profita-

at work he rolls back his shirt sleeves
and bares his breast occasionally, but
when he goes in the presence of a
woman or of his superior he puts on
his coat, fastens his collar and is
