eral Government.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 10
Congressman Davis has been re-
quested to introduce a bill, which
he will do, providing for the payment
of claim of $75S to D. B. Barbour
and A. P. GLADDEN., They claim
that the amount named is due Them
because of the holding up of a con-
tract for government work, which
had been awarded to them, until

gone up. In consequence of the ad-
vance they claim to have lost the
amount named on their contract.
The contract was awarded in 1898
for work to be done for The govern.
ment at Fort Monroe, Va. They
claim that they we're prevented by
official orders from proceeding with
the work under their contract until
the advanced price of labor and ma.
terial brought loss when the work
was done.
Their claim has been adjudicated
by the court of claims and an award
in their favor of $3.50 has beer
made. Congressman Davis viii UNI
dertake TO have an approprisIioI
made by Congress to cover this fnd
ing by the court.

Hell
$ a Hospital for Incurables
Declares Evangelist
AbberIey.

Hell is a hospital for incurables, :,
said Evangelist r.. W. Abberley.
speaking at the Central Christian
church slast night on the subject, rs
There a HELP? No intelligent stu
dent Of the Bible" said the evangelist,
believes today in literal hell Of
material fire and birthstone where
lost men suffer the physical tortures
of the damned for All eternity. Tint
notion came from paganism. 1t IS
the tendency Of the historic mind to
read preconceived notions into new
systems Of truth. So men in the
mlddleiages read into christ's teacl.-
ing a literal hell.
Tho word he'll in the English New
Testament occurs twenty-five times
and ten times it comes from tho
Greek word hades meaning the un.
seen, hence death and the grave.
Jesus said HThe gates of hell (deathi
shall not prevail against the church, :
Matt 1919. The word Christ used
to describe the consequences of ua-
rebented and persisted sin is Gee
henna,r He said to the pharisees and
the hypocrites, How shall We. escape
the damnation of heli?" (Gehenna OF
tirel. To the Jew "Gehenna" stood
for the place outside the south wall
of Jerusalem where refuse, vegetable
and animal matter. corpses of pau
pers and criminals were thrown and
the consuming fires continually
burned and the maggot worked, The
place stood in the. Jewish mind for
everything rejected, foul and repu!-
sive. So Jesus used it to describe
the condition of the lost soul-thc
absolute waste and foulness of spirit
produced by sin. Jesus did not mock
men but He who spoke most of love
and forgiveness and tenderness rang
out the warning notes like an alarm
bell in the night against the con-
sequences of sin that renders the
soul so foul and depraved as to be fit
only for the outer darkness" and

made it mighty Interesting right up
10 the finish.
up 10 the time Il was injured we
had played half of our games with

we had won nine and lost only two.
But after my injury the tables were
turned, and we took only two games
from McGraw's men while they were
trimming us in nine.
Bascball players always are OPP
timistic. and / am no exception to
the rule. Therefore, ! cannot be-
lieve that so much III luck will follow
us another year. With Earl Moore

goes into the National and the first
year out wins twenty games and
