that packed the towns largest audito-

Some Of Zion's big Questions"
Some of the big questions" that
will be met and settled by this session
during the three weeks that it will
last are: CD The reformation of the
financial plan whereby ample funds
| may be collected from the full mem
bership of the church, to do away with
the false alarm Of poverty every time
question of church advancement
arises; CD study of methods by
which lions natural expansion may
| be brought about and how the virgin
fields Of the great Northwest, West
and Southwest may be entered and vi
tallzed by the church of Varick; CD
the re-arrangeme Of the Episcopal
districts so as to form each district
| OF contiguous territory, thus minimiz-
| ing the distances to be covered by the
Bishops and reducing travelling ex-
penses, as we'll as facilitating the adj
| mnistrativc work Of the bishops, pre-
siding elders and general officers; ca
enacting law which shall require :,
bishop to reside within his own dis
trtct, to the end that the people may
be. inspired by the frequent presence
| of their bishop and to economize on
time and travelling expenses; 60 mali
ing more definite the functions of the
general officers, to avoid unnecessary
duplication Of duties, with the conss-
quent multiplication of expense-con-
solidating or transferring 1abors, as
the good Of the service may suggest;
CO. the election Of two bishops ITO fill
the existing vacancies, and choosing
such other officers as may be provided
for in the Book of Discipline The
enlargement Of the Star of Zion and
provision for the A. NJ. T.. Zion Quar-
terly are other problems TO be consid-
cred, and the business system in
vogue in the publishing house will be
carefully examined. The home mis-
sionary work and the operations Of
the church in Africa and the islands
of the sea will be given due attention.
1t will thus be seen from this outline
that the Zionites will have plenty to
do in the three weeks they have set
apart to legislate for their brethren.
During the session a daily edition CT
the Star of Zion will be published. The
people of Charlotte are "the last word"

port outranked all of his previous rec
ord-breaking showings, and Indicated
that the financial standing of Zion

mand was made by the Bishops for
$4,000. Dr.. Jackson "got busy with

Famous Italian Bandit Scared By the

Fifty years ago the brigand D'An- gelo was famous in Europe He was a young man of Palombara, moun- tain town in central Italy. He killed the defamer of his sWeetheart's name and then fled to the hills and became a brigand.
 His method was to capture a traV- eler, rob him and then lead him to a precipice. There the unfortunate man was allowed to choose between leaping to death and having a bullet in the brain.
 DAngelO had disposed of a dozen victims before he was captured, tried and sentenced for life. That was 46 years ago. He has just been re- leased.
 He was dismissed with $50, earned in prison, and as his legs are para lyzed, he was carried to the railway station, where a ticket to his native village was given to him.
 On the way he met a motor car and was terrified at the strange. rushing, humming thing. Then a cyclist came along and D'Angelo was much perturbed lest the rider should fall off
