"If Christ should come to Chicago. or
New York, or Washington, he would

TO revise ourselves" said the Rev.

Right Rev. Alfred Harding, who pre-
sided at the congress, said that he had
received hundreds of letters during the
last few days from persons who offered
all sorts of suggestions as to prayer
book revision.
They seem 10 think" said the bishop.
that this congress is going to settle,
once and for all, all church questions in
heaven and earth. They don't under
stand that this is just a deliberative
body, that discusses subjects, and does
not take action of any kind
The Rev. Henry R. Gummey, rector of
Grace Church, Haddonfeld, n. j., who
was the next speaker, suggested a con-
ference of experts to discuss the ques-
ton.
The Rev. Percy S. Grant, rector of
the Church of the Ascension, New
York and the Rev. Cyrus Townsend
Brady also spoke on the same sub
jeCt.
The election of officers was held yes

CHURCH
FOR NEGLECT OF
SOUTH'S CHILDREN
Delegate to Mothers Con-
gresS Scores Attitude of
Mission Supporters.

That more than 100000 children in
the mountain districts of the South
are livin 81 ntotal illiteracy, was the as
sertion made by Mrs. Martha S. Gielow,
of this city, before the Mothers Con-
gres this morning. She sharply criti-
cised the churches for devoting time and
money to foreign missionary purposes
when so great a need existed in the
United States, and concluded with an
eloquent plea for extension of educa-
tional work in the South.
There are over 100000 children in
the South" said Mrs. Gielow, who are
cut off from education, almost from
civilization. and yet our churches know
more about conditions in Africa than in
our own country.
The existing methods in the courts
regarding the care of children arrested
for petty offences were severely fiayed
by James S. Heberling, of Easton, Pa,

Others who spoke were Mrs. Robert

fatherless child; Mrs. George S. Rob-

Stole SilverWare From
Senate Dining Room

Love for glittering silverware. priced
for its beauty and not because of intrin-
sic value, causes the presence today in
the District workhouse of Leroy Haw-
kins, negro.
A strange tale of fascination for
shining silver was told today by Haw-
kins to Chief Justice Clabaugh, in Grim
inal Court No. 2, before he was sentenced
to six months in the workhouse for
stealing silverwore from the Senate din
ing-room.
When Chief Justice Clabaugh learned
Hawkins was employed handling silver
ware at a local hotel, he said:
II am going to put you away from
your associations and its apparent
temptations for six months at least"

invited them to meet at the Davenport
Commercial club for the purpose of or

They came and organized. They ask

feet of land on the river front west of

but. alas! it is all too small by now,
and a request for an additional 100
feet to the westward has been made.
The club, with the assistance OF the

150 feet wide parallel Herewith, and

PLEASURE BOATING
ITS HISTORY ON OUR RIVER HERE AND WHAT is DO
ING MOTOR BOATING AT PRESENT TIME.

Davenport Democrat: Some Of US
who have used the river from boyhood
as the foremost place for recreation;
swimming and fishing in it, canoeing,
rowing, sailing and launching on IL,
give first place among these joys to
the one among them that here, locally,
requires the greatest skill of all-sail-
ing.
On lake or ocean. with ample sea
room and the wind not fawed by bluffs
and river mouths, island and channel
bends. the amateur sailor, with a lee
shore well distant, can make long
tacks against head winds, and so long
as any wind does blow, bar gale, can
keep his boat a-sailing. But we, on
our most beautiful river, may never
venture forth unless the wind shall
blow against. or at least, across the
current Even with this handicap,
nothing could cool the ardor OF our en-
thusiastic Corinthian sailors, and year
after year saw a few who knew the
way. bearing down against the wind
and running back like homing birds

Some 20 years ago that enthusiastic
river sportsman, James r. Fleming. re-
ceived a novelty in marine manufac-
ture, a so-called naphtha launch. Some
times its engine ran, sometimes il
didn't; but 1t had the principle, and
all 1t needed was improvement Its
name was horrid to sailor man-"an
internal combustion engine"-and sport
was made OF IL, and IL deserved it,.
Then the type improved rapidly. Soon
came George Lindsey's handsome cruis-
er with a Morris Heights engine. This
boat occasionally ran. but was unfor
tunately burned in Kahlkes boat yard
Then came Henry Petersen's ATLANTA.
II also ran. noble boat But now
its home port is New Boston, and it
totes the peaceful clam from gatherer
to button factory. A few years later
the number of launches had increased
most wonderfully Factories with great
capital started building both engines
and hulls. Engines were more sure to
run long enough to get one home

Davenport in 1912. Last year this ex-
ceIlent organization held its regatta at
Peoria. where $4,000 people viewed
the races and parades from the grand
stand. Our location here at Davenport
is a peculiarly fortunate one from
which to make cruises 10 other places
and through interesting waters. For
instance, the trip from here TO Peoria
was made by two routes-through the
80 locks of the Hennepin canal to Blu

connection Of Tonti and La Sale, or
down our Mississippi to Grafton and
up the Illinois, a longer way, but en-

LAWYER CURED or ECZEMA

While attending school at Lebanon,
Ohio, in 1882, | became afflicted with
boils, which lasted for about two
years. when the affliction assumed the
form of an eczema on my face, the
lower part Of my face being infamed
most of the time. There would be
water-blisters rise up and open, and
wherever the water would touch it
would burn, and cause another one to
rise. After the blister would open,
the place would scab over, and would
burn and itch so as to be almost I'M
bearable at times. In this way the
sores would spread from one place to
another, back and forth over the
whole Of my upper lip and chin, and
at times the whole lower part Of my
face would be solid sore. This con-
dition continued for four or I'VE years,
without getting any better, and in fact
got worse all the time, SO much SO
that my wife became alarmed lest 1t
prove fatal
During all this time of boils and
eczema, doctored with the best ply
sicians of this part of the country, but
to no avail Finally decided to try
Cuticura Remedies, which l did, TAX
ing the Cuticura Resolvent, applying
the Cuticura Ointment to the sores,
and using the Cuticura Soap for wash

notice improvement, and continued to
use the Cuticura Remedies until was
