THE MONEY TRUST.
DemOcratic Caucus to BE Held To-
night 10 Consider ResoIution.

Democratic Caucus to BE Held To-
might to Consider Resolution.
The Democratic members OF the House
will hold a caucus tonight to determine
what action shall be taken upon the reso-
luton of Representative Henry to inves-
tigate the so-called money trust. Mr..
Henry yesterday made public a letter
from ex-RApresentative FowleE, Repub-
lican, of New Jersey, who said IT would
be a crime against the American peo-
ple'' not to pass the Henry resolution,
and also q letter from A. E. Stillwell.
president of the Kansas City, Mexico ana
Orient Railroad, who asserted that a
money trust existed, and that he had felt
its power.
These letters. together with editorials
from Bryan's newspaper, will be read at
the caucus tonight by Mr.. Henry. Rep
resentative Underwood and the other
conservatives are confident that the va
rious topics touched upon in the Henry
and Lindbergh resolutions will be referred
to the various standing committees in
stead Of to a special committee, as urged
by Mr.. Bryan. The caucus promises to
be a long and lively affair, and fear is
expressed by Democrats that il will re-
suit in pronounced factionRl differences
in the majority organization in the
House. Both sides to the controversy
asree that there should be an inquiry into
the affairs Of the money trust The dff-
ference Is as to the method. The con-
servatives claim that IL a special COM
mittee Is created. a prolonged Inquiry
will follow. with no tangible results upon
which 10 base remedial legislation. On
the other hand, Mr.. Henry and his fol-
lowers contend that II the Underwood
plan is adopted. such action win amount

Many Letters Are Handled.

If one Or more Of your letters are
lost or delayed in the mails, don u
blame the letter carrier or the postal
clerk before finding out whether il
was his fault, but just reflect that
the average number of pieces of mail
matter handled per employee in 1908
the latest year for which statistics
are available-was 54,239. That was
more than 1000 pieces a week that
went through the hands of each car
rier or clerk. Ever since 1890 the
work of postal employees has been
steadily growing more arduous. In
that year the average number of
pieces handled was 24,611, a little
more than half the amount of work
required at present. Figures given
to the house committee on post
offices and post roads show that
Uncle Sam knows how to speed up
his employees and get out Of them
all the work possible. So if one of
your letters goes astray just reflect
that the Imam higher up" and not
the postman himself may really be
responsible.

New Porch at Lauer Residence.


There is no other one thing
that adds more to the general ap-
pearance of a residence than a nice
wide porch. The house seems un-
finished, lacking something essential
if the porch is not in keeping with
the size and proportions of the
surroundings. The house on south
Michigan street owned and occupied
by Nose M. Lauer, was originally
built by the late N. II. Oglesbee, but
has been the Lauer home for a
number of years The porch was
small, and did not compare with
the house well, and now the Wal
lace & Co. firm of contractors are
at work placing a porch along the
entire front, and when it is done,
this residence will be one of the
neatest and best looking homes
along the already beautiful Michi-
gan street. This evidence Of a de-
sire to make the homes of the city
more beautiful anil convenient is a
good sign, and it is hoped that 9th
ers will catch the fever, and where
necessary, ego and do likewise"

Annual Congregational Meeting.

April 3rd was the time for the
annual congregational meeting of
the Presbyterian church.
Reports were made by the heads
of the several departments Of the
church work-the Missionary socie
ties, Ladies Aid society, Sunday
School, Christian Endeavor, and all
affiliated organizations of the
church. All these reports were
most encouraging. Some unlocked
for expenses of the year had caused
a deficit, but good part of that
was paid at the meeting, and the
balance will soon be covered, and
the church starts the year with clear
books. The budget for next year
was submitted by the trustees, and
approved.
Elders were chosen, the new board
being d. L. Dickinson, C. R. Leon
ard and Ed. Richards. These with
the pastor constitute the session.
Mr.. Richards is an addition to the
board, which has heretofore consist
ed of but two members. These
persons will be indicted into their
Offices at the morning service next
Sunday.
The board of Trustees was made
FIVE in place of three, the old ones
were Ralph Leonard. ]. X. Beatty
and A. C. Mortland, and Henry
Hall and L. G. Harley are added to
the list.
The Ladies Aid society had held
their meeting in tie afternoon and
reported the election of Mrs. Pansy
Peterson as their president for the
ensuing year. This society voted
$4,000 from their fund to the
Board of Trustees.
A special committee consisting Of
VIM. Cast, Geo. Marks and II. B.
Allen was created for the purpose
Of considering some plans for max
ing more room at this church. The
crowded condition of the Sunday
school, and lack of any place for
holding special meetings, recep-
tons, etc., is serious question, and
it is hoped that some plan will be
devised by this committee that will
make more room in the basement,
and perhaps add rooms on the
west of the main building that will
relieve this congested condition.

GOOD FRIDAY.
Why the Day Is Kept Sacred and
What It Means To the
Church.

Good Friday is the Friday be-
fore Easter, and is held sacred as
the commemoration of the crucifix-
ion of our Lord. The day has been
kept as day Of mourning and of
special prayer from very early
period of the church. It was one
of the two paschal days celebrated
by the Christian church in memory
of the crucifxion, and was called by
the Greeks "The Pasch of the
Cross From the earliest Ec-
clestical history we learn that it
was observed as a day for rigid
fast and solemn melancholy cere-
mony, and Eusebius tells that when
Christianity was established in the
Roman empire, that Constantine for
babe the holding of court, markets,
and other public proceedings upon
the day.
In the Roman Catholic church the
service of this day is peculiar. In
stead of the ordinary mass, it
consists of what is called the mass
of the pre-sanctifed, the sacred
host not being consecrated on Good
Friday, but reserved from the
preceding day. The priests and at
tendants are robed in black in tok-
en- of mourning, the altar is
stripped of all ornaments, and
other special ceremonies are gone
through with. The most striking
ceremony of Good Friday is what is
called elaboration of the cross"
or as the old English vocabulary
put it "creeping to the cross
A large crucifx was placed upon
the altar, with appropriate cere-
monies, and the entire congregation,
beginning with the celebrant priest
and his ministers, approach, and
upon their knees reverently kiss the
figure of the crucifed Lord.
In the English church Good Fri
day is also celebrated with special
solemnity. Anciently sermon
was preached at st. Paul's cross on
the afternoon of the day, and the
Lord Mayor and Aldermen of
London attended. In England and
Ireland Good Friday is by law a
"dies mon" or day when judges
DO not sit, and all business is
suspended. but in Scotland the day
meets with no special attention, ex-
cept by members of Episcopal and
Catholic churches.

MEMPHIS SEEMS DOOMED
Mississippi and Ohio Rivers Expected

st. Louis, April 6.-There is no re-
lief in sight for the fiood-doomed Sec
tons Of the lower Mississippi valley.
ALI indications are that the water will
90 higher and that the present dam
age will be but a detail to what is to
follow. These indications are based
on reports of phenomenal rises at
points above the confluence Of the Mis-
sissippi and Ohio rivers and weather
bureau predictions.

Sunday. Farmers living in the bot.
toms here and at Paducah, KY. report
great losses of stock. Thousands OF
acres of growing wheat will be ruined
along the lower Ohio and Wabash
rivers. White river farmers say they
are looking for the worst flood since
the great flood of 1875.
