TWO HEROIC LIVES
Confederate's Son and Yale Athlete
 in Work for Esquimaux

There have just crossed the continent and been shipped from Seattle to Alaska the materials for a Thornton Memorial chapel to be located on Cape Prince of Wales the most western bit of land over which the stars and stripes float 9arri- son R. Thornton was the son of a Confed- crate officer who was high enough in rank to cause Gen. Robert E. Lee to write some letters to him. He was a teacher and volunteering to the American Mis- sionary society soon after the civil war he was sent to Cape Prince of Wales at his own request to establish a school for Esquimaux children.
 One day, without warning of any kind, or provocation either ne was shot by drunken Esquimau while in the door Of his school. The murderer was punished by Esquimaux themselves, and every year since then, over the grave of Thorn ton, the Esquimaux of Cape Prince of Wales have placed their tribute. This tribute is not flowers, for they have none, but skins that cost money to secure.
 Now a chapel and parish house, with medical dispensary are to be provided in Thornton's memory. Tn charge now Is pr. Charles A. Thompson, a medical mis- sionary, and he has recently saved the

BIBLE AGENTS FIND
 NEW GOLD FIELDS American Bible SOciety's Agent Reports Philip
 pine Riches

Gold silver and other treasures are in the Philippine Islands in value not here tofore suspected, and they have not been touched to any extent worth speaking of. The Rev. J. l.. Mclaughlin, the Manila agent of the American Bible society, has just reached home after an absence in the islands of F years, during which he has had exceptional opportunities to study conditions.
 Besides the treasures of gold MT. Me Laugh1in reports new resources in the way of markets. The wants of the Fill pinos are increasing. Industrial schools have been established and children are at tending them. The people, barefooted for centuries, are now wearing shoes and stockings. They are also wearing shirts, collars and neckties. Manufacturing Is starting mp to supply tnese things. Manila is the ceanest city in the world, MT. Mclaughlin declares. There is no rubbish in the streets as fin New York, and there are well managed trolley lines, electric lights and splendid water sys- tenn. It is, however, the natural re- sources of the islands that attracts MT. McLaughlin's attention. There Is the fn-

 again to develop it.
 Mr. Mclaughlin mentions 20 products imported Into the United States on which people here at home paid duties amount
 ing to $3200OO,0O0 All Of these can be
 produced in the Philippines The innate worth, enterprise and alertness of the
 Filipino people ought So MT. Mclaughlin
 feels, to be encouraged 10 the end that
 these things can be produced there.
 The American Bible society Is oo-operat- ing with all religious bodies in the is
 lands. In 10 years it has circulated 1100,- GOO Bibles and parts of Bibles MT. Me- Laughln, while observing the natural re- sources, Is chiefly concerned with relig- ious conditions and prospects. When he went to the islands m 1900 practically everybody counted themselves as Roman Catholics. With Americans in place of Spaniards for bishops that church has made great progress in 12 years But so have Protestants, for the latter have in- creased from nothing to 10000 under guid- ance of about 150 missionaries Methodsis lead in numbers. with 30.000 members. and Presbyterians and Baptists are close seconds in strength. The Episcopal church is advancing steadily and rapidly In
 some respects this church has served the Filipnos in religion, in morals, in edu- cation and in local government as has no
 other. The reason lies, so MT McLaugh- lin thinks. in the ability of Bishop Brent who perhaps understands the Philippine situation better than any other living | man.
 l A serious phase of Philippine condition
 al this time is the large number of men. among them the most progressive, who Ha..e lost all or nearly all religious faith
 and are wanderers after truth It is feared the number of such men Is in creasins. The society In it's Bible work and the eight Protestant bodies are CO., operating to meet this difficult situation.

BAD CONDITIONS
 IN METHODIST Income of Foreign Mission Board Has Declined-Ap-
 peal to Pay Debts

The secretaries of the Methodist for eign board, in office month, issue a formal statement to American Methodism stating what they find when looking over details of their new jobs, what they plan to do and what they ask Methodists to do. With Methodists leading in the Lay mems Missionary Movement the secrc- taries find receipts of the board to have fallen off in 1911 when compared with 19l0 and a debt of $172,00O, one of the largest debts any mission board ever run up.
 Besides the regular debt, the new sec retaries say they find :fS,0O0 to have been authorized by the last geneNal conference with nothing in sight to pay it; $S5,00O needed before November l for work here tofore supported by special gifts; $5o,oo0 advanced to Africa Jubilee and Corea Centennial funds and not yet repaid, and a decrease in gifts from last springs con- ferences amounting to $39,000 The secre- tares say in their statement that they make no apology for putting things be- fore American Methodism as they find them.

Central The latest advance in Nortolk and Western stock set the tongues or rossips going afresh as to what Is to become of Norfolk and Western, but nothing really new was brought out.
 The report that MT. ]. r. Morgan would return to New York about the 1st of August Is denied MT. Morgan will probably prolong his stay abroad this year until October or November He is giving very little attention to business these days and has no inten- ton of plunging into the management or direction of large affairs on hlS re- turn to America. He has magnificent quarters in the new bank building dag onally agross Wall street from his banking house, and will doubtless spend most of his time when in New Fork in these new quarters. They oc- cilpy an entire floor near the top Of the second loftiest office building in New York, offering birds eye view of all of Manhattan Island (and the surrounding areas of land and water. Ii has been repeatedly denied that MT. Morgan intends to occupy this luXur- fous haven, but he will, just the same.
 The movement which many of the railroads of the country Is taking for il physical valuation of their properties affords an excuse for earnest though quiet discussion on the problem of gov ernment ownership. The number of those who regard this as the inevitable and logical outcome of the tendency to government control and regulation of the railroads. while at the same time avoiding responsibilities of own ership Is increasing hourly. It may be years before this issue takes definite form, but the drift seems to be in that direction. Many of the post saSacious readers of affairs and of popular ten- dencies look to see the gradual exten- sion Of governmental ownership and control of the several leading public utilities, including railroads. telegraph and telephone gas, electric lighting and no1yer as well aa water

TRADING IN HANDS OF L|GHTWE|GHTS Many of the Big Fellows

New York. July -tspeciall ll-The stock market Is in a quiescent state. Day today transactions show that 1t has fallen Into the hands of light weights. and the floor traders whose operations are usually of slight indi- vidual consequence. although when moving in concert an appearance of real action Is expressed by quotations on the tape. The conspicuous absence of large number of leading financiers and market plungers is having its effect on transient sentiment and tends to eurtail trading to within narrow limits Possibly when these men of large cali bre are here, their actual dealings in stocks are very much smaller than they are commonly supposed to be, but their mere presence in the financial district Is an element of consequence. Just be- fore sailing for Europe a few days ago, one of the great market leaders said to the writer, with a show of petulance. that the financial writers on the daily press and bulletin services had given him credit for about ten times as much action in the market as he was entitled to, and that he supposed the same was true of many others, who had been ac- oused of heading and managing fabu- lous campaigns. He said the fact is that the bulk of the business supposed to be done by a few big people, was properly chargeable to a large number of traders who frequent the branch of fees in the uptown hotels and business blocks, or telephone their orders in al long range. This business Is kept up continuously, and rolls into large ag gregate volume.

Undoubtedly, general business eondi- tions are better than when stock mar ket prices were 10 15 points higher than they are at present, yet the total transactions on the exchange Is less than one-half as large as when every body was speculating and apparently breaking their necks to pay the high est figure possible for what the big in- siders were willing to sell. As stated ill previous despatches the market had work ed into an "overboughtn state. Ev- erybody bought stocks, and then after the demand had been fairly well met, the multitudinous purchasers sat back and waited for somebody else to come along and mark up the goods so that they could sell out at a profit.
