Years 20 Scheme for Pan-American
Railway That 10 Now Near
ing Fuifiiiment.

The Pan-American railway, once
looked upon as a beautiful dream and
nothing more, Is growing into an ac-
complished fact and there are those
in authority in the world of railroad
transportation who are of the opinion
that approximately by the time the
Panama Canal is thrown open to the
worlds traffic the final links In the
steel ribbon binding the three Amer
fcas together will have been spiked
into place. This belief Is based on
the assumption that the canal viii be
completed In 1916 and that the pres
ent rate Of progress of building the
railroad in question is continued
When the full and impartial history
OF this great railway undertaking
comes to be written. the name of
Hinton Rowland Helper will loom
as large as the first dreamer of a Pan
American railway-the man whose
tenacity of purpose is gradually max
ing the dream a reality-the man
who practically staryed himself to
death In behalf OF lss pet idea.
Those who survive the exciting
days of the Civil war and a few years
earlier can hardly fail to remember

Man Who Died for an Idea

which occurred In Washington last
year. Hinton Rowland Helper, the
South's prophet of the North's sue
cess in civil war, devoted the greater
part Of his life to the forwarding Of
this idea. Nothing could discourage
him. For years, when he talked OF
his scheme. he met with no encour-
agement whatever; instead. ridicule
was heaped upon him. especially by
Jay Gould, who declared that II was
as reasonable to build a railroad in
Patagonia, then an almost undiscov-
cred region. or In Greenland. But no
slight nor insult daunted Mr.. Helper.
With the zeal Of Turk and the faith
of an Arab. he pressed forward his
idea at every conceivable opportu-
nifty, and at last he came to know
for a surety that II would ultimately
triumph.

CHURCH FOR CHILDREN ONLY
Worcester, Mass, Has First lnstitu-
ton of Its kind-CoIiectIon
Taken Up by Boys.

The original children's church OF
America, organized along the exact
lines OF the larger ones, has been es-
tablished at Worcester, Mass, by Rev.
c. F. Hill Crathern.
The service is similar to that for
adults. At the opening familiar
hymn is sung and then comes the
prayer, during which all the children
bow their heads. The scripture lesson
is read by Rev. Mr.. lCrathern from one
of the versions of the Holy Writ
which is In story form. The collection
is taken up by four boys.
This is followed by a sermon by
Rev. Mr.. Crathern of nature that
any child could understand.
The children, IN order to be active
members OF the church. have to sub
scribe to a simple creed and in addi-
ton must know the Ten Command
ments. the shepherds psalm. the beat
ftudes. the new commandment, the
faithful saying. the apostles creed
and the meaning of the Sacrament.
To aid them in preparation for mem
bership there is a weekly class at the
home of the pastor, where all can
learn what is necessary in order to
become full members. The plan is
to have the children step from their
church into the adult body when the
proper time comes.
A choir Of boys has been organized
and at least one hymn is sung by them
at every service. The girls of the
church have organized themselves
into a society which has been called
the Lambs OF the Flock, whose work

In the spring of 1858, Mr.. Dudley

wait for the boats. All the efforts OF
the officers and crew to dislodge our

made the situation worse from the
standpoint OF those of us who were
aboard was the fact that all the other

OLDEST CITY" IN AMERICA
Scientists Discover Copan Buried In

You were doubtless taught that ST.
Augustine, Fla, is the oldest city IN
America, and SO far as settlements by
Europeans are concerned that is prob
ably correct. but scientists know OF a
city SO old that there is no telling

but there is enough to show that at
some time centuries and centuries ago
IL was a busy center of population
Then the Maya Indians OF Yucatan
and Central America were at the
height of their civilization. They
built cities by constructing the bases
of great pyramids out of blocks OF
stone of enormous size. These blocks
were taken from quarries some times
two miles distant. were conveyed to
the city" and placed in the wall in
perfect order, and yet IT is not known
that the Mayas had any machinery
for handling such heavy material.
The pyramidal base of Copan is
built up TO considerable height, and
upon the nat top are placed the pal
aces, the affairs and other smaller
pyramids. From all evidence Copan
was in ruins when Cortez conquered
Mexico in 1921. The Spaniard and his
soldiers passed within a short distance

carvings still defy solution. There are

they are meaningless. Copan's history
is unknown and SO scientists are

How Gen. j. 3. Carr, Though OF Irish
Descent and Catholic, Protected
an Orangeman's Parade
in Troy.

1t is rarely safe to infer that a
great victory by one of the political
parties means the permanent discom-
future of the opposing party. And one
of the best illustration proving the
soundness of this view is that con-
tanned in the history of Gen Joseph b.
Carr.
General Carr was of American birth,
although of Irish parentage. He was
born in Albany, n. Y. and when 30
years OF age became lieutenant colo
mel in New York regiment which
saw service under Mcclellan. His
bravery was so marked at Malvern
Hill that he was promoted TO brigadier
general He saw service at Gettys-
burg. and he had charge of the de-
lenses along the James river in Gen
eral Grants final campaign. Just aft
er the close of the war General Carr
was breveted major general for gal
