PURCHASE OF SP|0N KOP|
battle-ground to Be Used as a
Seventh-Day Adventist
Mission Farm.

Spion Kop. the mountain outside of
Ladysmith. Natal, South Africa. where
the deadliest battle in the Boer war was
fought. has been purchased by Seventh
Day Adventist missionaries, according to
word that has just been received at the
headquarters of the denomination in
Takoma Park. and mission farm for the
education and Christianizing of the Zulus
will be established.
Information concerning the purchase of
the mountain peak has been forwarded
by Herbert J. Edmed. one of the Ad
ventist missionaries, who is spreading the
gospel in that part of South Africa. He
says the peak contains 900 acres.
Spion Kop is about eighteen miles from
Lady smith, and there it was on January
"a, 1900, that the famous battle between
the Beers and British was fought.
Mr.. Edmed says the mountain was pur-
chased only after another missionary,
F.. B. Armitage, had traversed the coun-
try, seeking for a suitable farm for the
establishment of the mission. The writer
stated that several Zulus have already
accepted the teachings of Christianity.
and these will work with the missionaries
toward instructing other natives in the
way Of salvation.
It is the plan of the missionaries to
make the farm self-supporting. All the
slopes are capable of cultivation. and
along the Tugela river is a belt of fine
alluvial soil.

CAPTURES CLOSE GAME.
New York Avenue Playground Wins
Championship.

The New York Avenue Playground base
ball team won the 13O-pound class cham
pionship Of the Interplayground Base
Ball League by defeating the Mount Pleas
ant Playground team by score of to
2 The struggle between these two teams
has been the closest contested event that
has ever taken place in playground circles
for some years.
At the close of the regular playing
schedule they were tied for first place,
each team having won twelve games and
lost one. A series Of three games was
arranged to decide the playground cham
pionship. New York Avenue won the first
game by a score of 1 to 0, and forfeited
the second game to Mount Pleasant. The
teams met last Friday afternoon for the
third game Of the series and played thir-
teen innings, neither team being able to
score. The game was called on account
of darkness with score of to o. In
the final game, which decided the series,
the New York Avenue team won by TAX
ing quick advantage of an error on the
part Of the Mount Pleasant team.
A feature of the games has been the
work of the two pitchers-Naples for New
York Avenue and Clements for Mount
Pleasant. Spectators who have watched
these contests have remarked that the
playing has been the best that they have
ever seen for tn boys game, and the
closeness of the score indicates the quail
ity of the playing. as well as the evenly
matched strength Of the two teams.

RECLA|M|NG PALESTINE
DEVELOPING HOLY LAND ALONG
AGRICULTURAL LINES.
Alexander Aaronsohn Tells of the
Result of Thirty Years En-
thusiastic Struggle.

Palestine IS rapidly being developed
along agricultural lines. according to
Alexander Aaronsohn, native of the
Holy Land, in an address before the
Washington Alliance of Jewish Women.
at it's first meeting of the season, held at
the Eighth Street Temple yesterday aft
ernoon.
Jerusalem is not a land filled with only
beggars and poor people, as is the popu-
lar idea in America" declared Mr.. Aaron
sohn. For the last three centuries Jeru-
salem was the mecca of pious Jews for
whom to die in the Holy City was like
the taking out of free pass to Paradise.
Ere long Jerusalem was filled with old,
decrepit Jews, who spent their days pray
ing in the synagogues. awaiting death.
The Jews throughout the world had to
provide for the living of these pious old
souls.
I'm the last thirty years, however.
Palestine has had a new era. Disguised
with the prosecutions Of their countries.
young Jews from Russia and Roumania
determined to return to Palestine and
start q healthy life by tilling the soil of
their ancestors. Thus these Jews came to
live, not to die, in Palestine.
"As result of thirty-year brave and
enthusiastic struggle, there are now in
Palestine about forty Jewish villages. ag-
gregating about 10000 Jews, living on
agriculture. Palestine. which is a fertile
country, but devastated by ignorance and
neglect, is gradually developing through
the loving care Of young and enthusiastic
Jews"
Mrs. w. e. Andrews. president of the
Washington Federation of Women s
Clubs, delivered a brief address congratu-
lating the alliance upon the work accom-
plished. Mrs Adolph Kahn, president Of
the alliance, also spoke briefly. Mime. Won
Unschuld played several piano solos.

NIMBLE PRESS AGENTS
And Their Shrewd Tricks to Gain
Publicity.

hundreds of newspaper men have
gone to infinite pains to lift the veil Of
mystery that separates them and their
work from the people of whom they
write, but the public is as ignorant of
the subject today as it was in the age
of Franklin. Time and again press agents
have undertaken to explain the simple
lines along which they work. No one ex-
cept their fellow-tOlers has understood
what they We're talking or writing about.
The blackboard, primer or cat spells
cat method seems to be the only unused
way of dispelling the fog"
So says GlenmOre Davis in beginning
his primer lesson in our next Sunday
Magazine about the devious and Won
derful ways of the nimble press agent.
This member of the journalistic profess
sion is omnivorOus and permanent, for
without him publicity, as now under
the news of many of the big things in
whose exploitation the public is interest
ed would remain buried in the closets of
the past. Woodrow Wilson. Paderewski
Barnum & Baileys circus, pink soap, the
newest suburb, all need the press agent.
practically unsung.
Scattered through Mr. Davis article
are no end of bully stories of stunts put
over by press agents. some of which are
HUE hHoWu outSloG VI tiC pioAOSoioi'
Among these is the tale Of the press
agent that called on city editor in New
York, accompanied by an elephant, and
then there was the agent who prevented
a perfectly ripping tale from getting into
the papers. This was when a lot OF
elephants escaped from the New York
Hippodrome and sped down the street,
scattering CONSERVATION and all sorts of
dire dangers among the helpless pubic.
If this had got into print it would have
meant a tremendous loss to the box Of
flee. and so William G. Thompson,
veteran newspaper editor. acting as
publicity man for the institution, in
stant'y sent to every. paper in town a
masterpiece in hyperbole and Wild-eyed
exaggeration. and at the very thought
of it Baron Munchausen, SchehereZade.
Daniel Defoe, Jacques Casanova and
Ananias must have Topped in their
graves" OF course, the keen city edi-
tors threw the story into the waste
basket as a pipe dream and false from
beginning to end; not a word concerning
the barely averted frightful tragedy got
into print. Incidentally Thompson's sal
airy was increased $25 a week.
