Al NEW MEMBERS
BROADWAY CHURCH
LAST OF SERIES WILL BE HELD
TUESDAY NIGHT - WORKERS
CONFERENCE BEGINS.

Sunday was a great day with the
Broadway Baptist people. AT the
services held yesterday nine new
members were added to the church
and since the meeting began two
weeks ago Al persons have taken
membership and the pastor, f. NJ.
Masters has his heart set on fifty
new members in all. At the meetings
yesterday there were large crowds.
The crowd at the Sunday night ser
vice was the largest since the meet
ing began. The large auditorium of
the church was filled and the aisleS
were filled with chairs to accOmmo-
date the hearers.
Pastor Masters has held up well
under the series of sermons. He has
retained his strength and his voice
while somewhat hoarse is still
strong and penetrating.
There are several to be baptized
at services this afternoon and also
tomorrow after. The services at
which the ordinance of baptism is
attended to is held at 4 O'Clock in
the afternoons.
The sermon tonight will be another
strong one and will, like the rest
of the series, be upon a practical
topic The topic for tonight is "The
Second Coming of Christ, or Ardmore,
when Jesus Comes" The subject
gives the speaker an opportunity of
reaching the life of every person
who hears him.
The esries of sermons will close
Tuesday night and following the pro
tracted meeting the Workers Confer
ence will begin Wednesday night. The
opening sermon of the Conference
will be delivered by Rev. +. b..
Ford of the Young Peoples Work in
the state. Other ministers who will
be here and will take part in the
services which will continue until
sunday SHt, are III. a. D. Iioi''
publisher of the Oklahoma Baptist
of Oklahoma City; j. c. Stalcup, SUI
perintendent of Stare missions, and
w. d. Moorer, the state Sunday
School worker. Services will be held
Thursday, Friday, Saturday and sun
day morning, afternoon and evening.
The visiting brethren and minis
ters from over the state who come
to attend the work ers' conference
will visit one of the greatest reli-
e. Gus revivals ever held in this sec
ton of the state. They will find
church members and Sunday School
workers all interested, they will find
a church that is revived and one that
is working in close harmony for the
harvest of souls and they will find
a church to which has been added
fifty new members who are enthusi7
astic in the cause.
The Workers Conference will be
a success and it deserves the hearty
cooperation of all the church people
of the city without regard to religious
demon nation.

ROMP ON
THE RA|LR0ADERS
ROGERS TRIBE PUT THE RAIL
WAY GANG TO GUESSING AND
WINS IN A WALK.

Rogers and his Indians romped on
the Cleburne railroaders yesterday at
Lorena park and returned victors by
score of seven to three.
Although the Railroaders managed
to secure three more. hits than the
locals the hits were too badly scatter
ed to figure very materially in the
box score. The feature of the game
was the batting of McCullom for the
locals. He was at bat four times, and
had a home run over right fed fence
and three bagger to center to his
credit.
The scoring began in the last of
the third when McCullom poled the
first ball pitched over the fence for
the circuit, the best Boiling could do
was to whiff, but Onslow comes up
and hit safe, stole second, went to
third on an error and came home on
the throw in of Williams long fly
to center.
The visitors began to take things
seriously in the first of the fourth,
when two hits and a daring steal net
ted them two runs, tieing up the
score.
In the fifth after the visitors had
gone out in order, Elmer, the first up
for the locals, got to first on an error
OF short, McCullom came up and after
having two strikes called on him,
slammed one to deep center for three
bases, scoring Elmer. Boiling flew out
to left, but McCullom scored on the
throw. Onslow and Williams go out
in order.
In the eighth the visitors added an
other, after Lawson flew out to short,
four consecutive hits yielded one run.
On the other hand the locals came
back and after Onslow hit safe, and
Williams was allowed to walk, Cooper
came along and drove them both in
by a safety to right.
The season opens tomorrow with
the locals at Bonham, the Cleburne
team at Durant, I.awton at Altus and
Wichita Falls at Gainesville.
The season in Ardmore will be
opened with the Cleburne team next
Friday the 2Sth, who will be here
for three games-Frday, Saturday
and Sunday. An effort will be made
to have the merchants declare a half
holiday for the benefit of the clerks
who enjoy the game, the usual street
parade will be given and the rooters
club organized.
An effort was made to get the Gle
burne team to play here this after
noon as they remain here awaiting
the opening date at Durant, but their
manager had a severe chill in his
pedal extremeties and he declined
with thanks.

BIRTHDAY OF
GEO. HENRY BRUCE
RELATIVES AND FRIENDS ASSEM-
BILE TO WISH HIM MANY MORE
ANNIVERSARIES.

You'd scarcely think that he was
20 years of age, but he is. He goes
tripping down the street with that
bouyance that denotes perfect health
and clear conscience; he has good
word to say to everybody. and a pleas
ant greeting for all. and the day, no
matter how gloomy, always seems
brighter after meeting Uncle George
Henry" Now you may wonder who
Uncle George Henry is, but if You
have ever been around the city hall,
you have certainly met him, and the
pleasure was all yours.
Uncle George Henry Bruce was 40
years old yesterday, and his many
friends, both here and abroad, remem-
bered him and paid tribute to the an
nversary of his birth. Away back
yonder on the 23rd day of April, in
1871, far up in New England at Post
Mills, among the green mountains Of
Vermont. George Henry Bruce first
saw the light Of day. Like other boys
on the farm and obtained the rudi-
ments of the education that after
wards stood him in good stead in the
southwest. When quite young he con
ceived the idea that it would be a
good idea for him to try conclusions
with the then, great undeyeloped
west, and with this in view he bade
goodbye TO home and family ties and
after one lingering, longing look at
the mountains of his native state, he
wended his way to the great state of
Texas to carve out a fortune for him
self and for posterity.
The war came on, Uncle Georges
ideas had undergone a change, as
most New Englander's minds do az
ter dwelling where they can study the
negro at close range, and when the
south seceeded from the union. he
Wss one of the first to offer his serv-
ices to the cause of the south and
was enrolled in the Sth Texas cavalry.
He fit, bled an died." as did many
another boy who wore the gray for
four long years, and when the war
was over he accepted the inevitable,
went back to the land Of his adoption
and took up the burden of reconstruct
ing from the wreck and devastation of
war, a home for himself and friends.
From Texas he removed with his
family several years ago to Ardmore,
and has made this his home continu-
ously since. For many years he has
been the city clerk, and no greater
tribute could be paid to his efficiency
than an inspection of his records that
give a concise account of every meet
ing of the city council from the time
Of his Introduction into office to this
hour and, they, too, without an error.
Long live Uncle George Henry. The
Ardmoreite joins his many friends in
wishing him many other birthdays.
Those present yesterday were: Mrs.
S NJ. Torbett of Ada, C. p. Bruce
and wife of Oklahoma City H. f. Fos-
ter and wife of this city, Stanley X.
Bruce of Oklahoma City. Mrs. l. b.
Grubbs and Miss Lizzie White of this
place.
Letters, postcards and kilograms
were showered on him yesterday from
friends who were unable to be pres
ent at the festivities.

Mrs. Taft's Thoughtfulness.

The $4,000 or more people who en-
joyed the beautiful scene at the White
House last night fully appreciated the
thoughtfulness of Mrs. Taft In suggest
ing that the mansion and grounds be
opened to the public as a fitting climax
to the successful celebration Of the sill
yer wedding anniversary.
Ths invitation was accepted in the
cordial spirit which inspired II, and for
an hour and a half delighted throng
admired the decorations and the bril-
liant illumination. The Washington
Herald has been asked by large num-
Der OF its reSders to make acknowledge
ment of the enjoyment which Mrs. Taft
afforded to the public, and it executes
the commission with sincere pleasure.
Mrs Taft viewed the throng from the
balcony and must have found a very
large degree of happiness in the visible
delight of those who were enabled,
through her kindness, to share in her
celebration

The government Of the United States
has finally recognized the republic OF
Portugal.
Announcement Of this fact was made
by the State Department yesterday. The
statement was to the effect that George
L. Lorillard, charge d'affaires at Lisbon.
had cabIed to the department that he
had made Official communication OF the
formal recognition of the government
OF Portugal by the government Of the
United States.
This action on the part Of this govern
ment was undoubtedly FASTENED by the
debate in the Senate few days ago,
when Mr.. CuIberson, Of Texas, called
attention to the fact that his resolution
asking for recognition OF the Portu-
guese republic, introduced more than
two months ago, had been ignored by
the COMMITTEES on Foreign Relations
Mr.. CuIberson cited number Of cable
grams that had passed between Presi-
dent Taft and various European SOW
ereigns. yet" he added. there is not
a word Of sympathy, 50 far as we are
able to see, for the people Of Portugal,

whats disgusting?" asked Mr.. Sims,
in surprise.
This title business" said Mr.. SABBATH
Indignantly. Here a whole lot Of
American fathers are buying dukes and
earls and counts for their daughters, and
only two dozen OF these girls are per-
mitted to participate in the coronation.
The high cost of titles has become an
issue, although suppose the recent man
ufacture OF all varieties OF lords by King
George Monday may give temporary re-
lief. Something has got to be done about
It."
And while Thetus Wilrette looked on
with open mouth and wide, admiring
eyes, Mr. SABBATH sat down at his desk
and dashed or a neat little thing in the
way Of a resolution, directing the Secre-
tary of State to make an exhaustive in
vestigation of the traffic in titles and re-
port to the House.
The resolution also directs the Secre-
tary of State to find out from United
States ambassadors, ministers, and con-
suls ''the maiden names and present titles

Official Importations.

When a superintendent of schools is
imported from Omaha, Nebr.; when a
superintendent of the street-cleaning de-
partment is brought from Norfolk, Va,
and when a director of Fairgrounds
cannot be found nearer than Columbus,
Ohio, we wonder what is the matter
with Washington.
We pride ourselves upon the high
average of intelligence in this commu-
nifty. We claim That our public schools
are the best in the country. We know
that our government is excellent, and
that our officials are honest and eff
cient.
And yet our splendid public school
system does not seem to have developed
any one of sufficient caliber to be
worthy of being placed at its head
Our corps of officials is apparently
satisfactory in subordinate positions,
but we make draft upon other cities
for heads of departments.
Omaha does differently. When its su-
perintendent of schools was transferred to
Washington because we, apparently, did
not have any one here sufficiently equip
ped for the position, Omaha selected an
Omaha man to fill the vacancy. We can
imagine that any other action would
have occasioned a popular protest
Here in Washington, however, we ac-
cept without a murmur the tendency to
ignore our own people.
We cannot believe that Washington
is lacking in men who could fill with
success any and all Of the places which
have occasioned importations from
other cities.

BLACK OPALS.
The Gem That L. Most Sought After
I'm Australia.

The Gem That L. Most Sought After
I'm Australia.
From the Daily Consular and Trade ReportA
The gem most sought after in Australia
is the black opal. 1t appears in limited
quantities in the matrix of ironstone and
sandstone in the Lightning Ridge dis
trict of New South Wales. 1t Is esti-
mated that since 1890 opals valued at
over $5.50o.O0O have been found in the
state of New South Wales. The state
of Queensland also produces many opals.
the production up to the present time
amounting to nearly S1,OOO,OOo.
Sapphires rank next among Australian
gems IN value of production. They are
found in New South Wales and in
Queensland, chiefly In the latter state.
In the gravel or creek beds. The gems
show excellent FIRE and luster, but the
color Is darker blue than the Oriental
sapphire. In Queensland the present pro-
duction amounts to about $4,000 per year,
the total output to date being about
500. 600
Other precious gems found in different
parts of Australia include emeralds. tur-
quoises, topazes, ircons. garnets, rubiea
afnetnystS, tourmdhness anu pefSiS' LA
monds are found to a limited extent In
New South Wales and in South Austria
liza In the latter state the total pro-
duction up to date has been somewhat
over $4,000. These diamonds found To-
calIy are used mostly for glass cutting,
while South African diamonds are mostly
used in the jeweiry trade. Pearls found
In pearl shell fishing along the northern
coast OF Australia are usually small but
their aggregate value Is probably con-
siderable.
