These were Invitation affairs, and were
also well attended. Everywhere the spirit
Of missions was placed to the fore and
the effort for the evangelization of the
world given much impetus.
Hardly had the meetings in the New
York Avenue Church opened before Mrs.
Thirkield invited all the missionaries
present to come to the platform, and a
long line responded They stood for a
moment before the great gathering, which
manifested deep interest. Then Mrs. Thir-
kield said each would introduce herself
and tell a bit of her work in foreign
lands. Each was limited to two minutes.
Il am Margaret Sunan from the Phil
ippines," came in clear tones floating
over the audience, as a demure little
woman in brown began her address.

asserted. land 1 wish you could see those

The keynote Of the meeting was Graft

between the addresses women in different
parts of the gathering would offer prayer
asking guidance on the effort and great
awakening in this country for the cause
of missions.

Unanimous Consent Unlikely.

Senator Borah, too, is anxious to have
a date fixed for voting on the direct cleo
ton Of senators. The opposition to the
resolution would indicate that a unani-

but a motion to make it the unfinished
business would probably advance it.
The Senate finance committee, to which
has been referred the House tariff board
bill, will ge: to work on the measure to-
morrow. The democrats of the commit

early report. And delay in reporting it

PARIS, January IS, 1911.
For once. a new swindlng trick has
been invented. A well dressed man, with
the particular sort of swagger that takes
tradesmen in, called on q well known Par

The jeweler had one. but it was expensive

and the jeweler suspiciously produced it,

cious than ever. took .the pearl round the
next morning. He was quite determined
not to be done" and not to give the
pearl up except for cash.
The stranger kept the appointment paid
$4,000 cash down, and took the pearl

The jeweler went pearl hunting and
was lucky enough to find the exact coun-
terpart of the one he had already sold.
He wrote to his customer, who called, ex-
amined the pearl minutely, and gave it
back. II am awfully sorry to have trou-
bled you, but I can't take it. 1t won't do

The jeweler left with the pearl, for
which he had paid $4,000. on his hands.
was annoyed and surprised. because, as
far as he could see, the second pearl was
the exact counterpart of the one he had
sold before. He was still more surprised
and annoyed on finding out later that it
was the same pearl. The man he had
bought it of for $4,000. hoping to sell it
for $4,000, was a confederate Of the orig
inal purchaser, and between them the two
swindlers had netted $1,000, with an out
lay of $4,000. which works out at 60 per
cent profit in two weeks.

DISTRICT BILLS PASSED
Measure Relating to Payment
of Back Taxes Is Ap-
proved by Senate.

The District had brief innings III the
Senate this afternoon and three Dlstilc'
measures We're passed.
The Commissioners bill allowing foi
the payment of back taxes due prior 10
July ]. 1905. at the rate of 6 per cent
per annum, in lieu of other penalties and
costs, was approved. When Senator Gal
linger called it up for consideration, Sena-
tor Kean OF New Jersey demanded that
the report showing the reasons for the
passage of the legislation be read.
Il have no objection to the bill Sena-
tor kean remarked after he heard the
report but / think it's title ought 10
read. 4 bill to encourage tax collect
ing"
Argument of Commissioners.
1t is expected by the Commissioners
who urged the legislation, that it will re
suit in the payment to the District of
thousands of dollars in back taxes. by
reason of the reduction in costs; and in
substantiation of this claim they say that
similar legislation was passed in 1870,
ana that as a result of that act nearly
half Il million dollars was paid in back
taxes.
Another measure that received the
approval of the Senate was a bill for
the extension of 18th street northeast
from Brentwood road to Rhode Island
avenue. The cost Of the extension. ac-
cord1ng to an amendment recommend
ed by the Senate District committee.
VIII be assessed against the owners OF
property benefited.
The third bill to be approved directs
the Secretary Of War to grant Miss
Jeannie Trumbull, the present occu-
pant of lots ; and 4. square 1913, in
Washington. a quit claim deed of the
legal title of the United States in the
property when she establishes her
right to the property.
This legislation was urged by the At
torney General on the recommendation
of the commission appointed TO investi-
gate the title Of the United States to
lands in the District. There was a fail
,lre to record certificates of transfer. as
required by the Maryland law, which
controlled the land when it was sold in
1907, and the commission found there is
no actual interest of the United States in
the lands.
