JESUS CHRIST IS

ELOQUENT DISCOURSE HEARD
FROM ARcHDEAcoN PERCY
WEBER.
At ST. PETERS EPISCOPAL
Takes a Shot at Some Of the Customs
of Society Especially at the Late
Hour "Style" So Much In Vogue
Among the Higher Circles.
Il am the bright and morning
STAR A part Of the 1th verse Of

Il am the bright and morning
STAR A part Of the 1th verse Of
the iwenty-second chapter of The
Revelation Of Saint John the Divine.
This was the subject of the power
full and masterful sermon delivered
Monday night at st. Peters church
by Archdeacon Percy Webber before
a fairly large audience.
The speaker delved into his theme
with determination to lay it before
his hearers in the light in which the
great writer saw it and so clear was
his Illustrations that he pictured Wv
lilly the Son Of God in this role Of
the bright and Morning Star"
Archdeacon Webber stated that
Christ was never referred to as the
Evening Star, simply because it rep
resented night and night represented
deatE in measure, the time of the
revelers. and in this connection he
paid his attention to the amusements
of life Setting forth in quite plain
language the sin that was caused by
excessive Indulgence in the innocent
joys and pastimes of this life. He
stated that to sit down and play an
innocent game with ones mother
that was carried to an excess--that
is to say play until after the mid
night hour was sin and the mother
who did it was not only SHINING her
self but was doing a great wrong to
her son. Uniting him. for his daily
labors, be they what they may.
In speaking Of society Archdcacon
Weber stated that the woman ruled
the hours in which the festivities
were to be enjoyed and that to begin
at a late hour, just to be in style, and
to hold forth until two and three
O'Clock in the morning was sin in
the sight Of God. He said that mans
good common sense was needed in
this part Of our lives. Then he re.
ferred to politics, stating that for the
lack Of woman's influence In politics,
the men had made vile and corrupt
methods of gaining points and pro.
curing powers that we're detirimen'
tai to the nation and to the human
race. Therefore, said the speaker
the one is essential to the other, but
that without the ever presence Of
"The Bright and Morning Star" they
were neither a success nor bless
ing to any one. He showed that God
must be taken into our every conf
dence and to share in our pleasures
as well as our sorrows.

NAVY DlscREDITs THEORY.
Theory of Submerged Rocks Pro-
nounced improbable.


Washington, D. C.-With the Vir-
gin Rocks fully $50 miles north OF
where the Titanic foundered, navy by.
drographers express the opinion that
it is exceedingly improbable that the
liner struck those or any semi-sub-
merged rocks.
While no soundings ever have been
made in the immediate vicinity where
the Titanic went down, they explain
that soundings farther northward
show steady decline of the sea bot
tom toard the ships position.
It is said at the photographic office
that as the water where the Titanic
struck is approximately two miles
deep, it would take formation with
an enormous base to bring the apex
anywhere near the surface, and sound
ings at 1O-knot distance would show
a rise in the oceans bottom. The
nearest soundings made south of the
point where the disaster occurred are
60 miles away and these show 2100
fathoms.
Nothing is known of how the Mar
onic met her fate in 1893, but the rec
ords say she might have struck an ice
berg, been wrecked in a field Of ice, OF
had an explosion, but all the charts
reveal is that two of her boats were
found on March 4, 1898, at latitude AZ
north and longitude 46 west.

State Establishes Experiment Station
to Test Soils.
Grandview-Thes state has just es-
tablished an experiment station at
Grandview which will be maintained
here for four years, with Professor c..
C. Thorn, of the state college at Pull
man, in charge. The purpose of this
station will be to determine the duty
of water to the soil, and how much is
necessary for the different crops
grown in the valley. This city was
favored in the location of the station
because of its railroad facilities, hotel
accommodations and soil. 1t is one of
three stations maintained west of the
Cascades.
Alkali is one of the menaces of the
lower valley and the state hopes,
through its station here, to aid the
ranchers in avoiding danger from al
kali, Professor Thorn says alkali is
the result of too much water washing
plant food from higher ground, and
may be avoided by the proper use of
water.

TITANIC LOSS SI5, 100000.
This is the Sum Insurance Companies
Must Pay for Disaster.

This is the Sum Insurance Companies
Must Pay for Disaster.
New York-Insurance men estimate
that the total losses to be paid by the
various life, accident and marine COM
panies as a result of the sinking of
the Titanic will reach approximately
SIS, 100000 thirds of this will
fall upon marine insurance companies.
Several American companies, which
do all classes of business, have been
hard hit.
Insurance Field, a trade journal
published here, asserts that nowhere
in the annals of insurance is there a
parallel for the loss Of insured life and
property occasioned by the sinking of
the Titanic.
The journal makes the following es-
Inmates of the total loss:
Life insurance, 81, 1913, 900.
Accident insurance, $2,213, 900.
Marine insurance (ship), $5,O00,-
900.
Marine insurance (cargo). $5,O00,-
900.
Total, $14, 4O6, 900.

These men are being given an edu-

when they get out and will enable
them to stay out of the institution.
Eight grades are being taught.
Though there are 145 men in the
school and at least eight classes are
reciting at one time, there is little
noise and no confusion. The instruc.
tors, who are convicts and university
or college men, get close to their
classes and the recitations are giver
