Bombay.
From tha London Chronicle.

from TIA LONDON Chronicle.
Bombay was gift horse, which English
men at first looked very discontentedly in
the mouth. Mr.. Kipling pictures her now
as queen fronting thy (England's)
richest sea with richer hands," and
George Stevens called her "a beautiful
queen In silver armor and q girdle OF
gold" But for some considerable time
the general view was that of Pepys when
he did inform myself well in things re-
lating to the East Indies September 6.
1858. He was impressed by the incon-
siderableness of the place Of Bombaim
1t being, II we had 1t, but q poor
place. and not really 80 as was described
to our king in the draft Of 1t. but a poor
little island" His decided view was that
the king and lord chancellor and other
learned men about the king had been
grossly deceived in the matter.
Bombay was one OF the earliest Portu-
guese settlements in India. The British,
recognizing its strategic Importance, at
tempted to seize the place in 1925. They
failed. but Bombay became British in
1851 as part OF the dowry Of Catherine
OF Braganza on her marriage to Charles
II. In 1893 Charles coded Il to the East
India Company In consideration Of an an

tons of the city's prosperity were laid by
Gerald Angler. governor Of Surat while
Bombay was still regarded as q portion
OF that province. He drained and fortified
the town, and so reorganized the whole
OF its life and trade that within eight
years the population rose from 10000 to
10000. The East India Company made

RELIGIOUS ADVERTISING.
Church Not to Be Hurt Through Us.
ing Business Methods.

From the Kansas City journal.
Some Of the leading religious periodicals
are deprecating a tendency among minis
tiers to resort to the sensational In order
to secure larger audiences. The condi-
lions existing as a whole are the logical
outgrowth of the profound conviction
among religious people that the church
must come into closer contract with the
world about II. But there Ii hardly
reason for fearing that the church will
become unduly secularized by adopting
the methods Of legitimate secular sue
cess There is yellow" secular advertis-
ing and there are yellow" ministers, who
resort to wholly regrettable sensational
ism In order to catch the public eye and
ear. But these are individual instances
of unwise methods. They are to be con-
demned as such. but not construed as
representative of the logical results of
the church's awakening to the situation
confronting It.
The sensational preachers and slangy
evangelists are not for moment to be
body OF the Christian ministry that Is
working with increasing effectiveness
along new lines Of service. The more
legitimate advertising the church does the
better for It.; 1t has or wares ans ~os
sense but In reverent reality. The more
business wisdom there is injected into
the church the more religion there will
be in business. The commercial and re-
ligious takers are alike impostors.
There are fire sale" and bankrupt
preachers who deal in damaged goods"
but the overwhelming majority Of min
listers Of the gospel are to be depended
on. There. is no good reason why they
should not let the public know what
they have to offer. Not all OF them are
first-class "salesmen.' but the business
man who depends entirely on his selling
qualities will not meet with as much sue
cess in the long run as he who makes
legitimate and dignified use OF publicity.

GERMAN MINERS NAY STRIKE.
Demand of Is Per Cent Increase in
Wages Not Yet Accorded.

BERLIN, March 9.-After q meeting to-
day at which the replies Of the mine
owners to the demands Of the men for an
increase of 10 per cent In their wages
were thoroughly discussed the leaders of
the Socialist Miners Union issued a
proclamation stating that more than
100000 miners would go on strike in the
Westphalian coal district next weex un-
less the mine owners reversed their de-
cision not to accord the advance asked
for.
There appears to be very little hope Of
the mine owners acceding to the men
demands. and the efforts Of the govern
ment to bring about mediation are now
declared by the miners to be too late.
The miners in the Hanover coal district
have followed the example Of those In
the Westphalian and Silesian coal fields,
and today demanded a monthly minimum
wage Of SIS They threaten to strt e
March 10 unless this il granted.

Defeated, ala to SO In
It's Favor.

Representative Roddenbery Of Georgia
Immediately began again his personally
conducted flibuster against the pending
private pension bill when that measure
was called up soon after the House con-
vened today. He moved to recomnit the
bill with instructions that amendments
offered by him should be included in the
bill. His amendments provide for q uni
form pension for all widows Of soldiers
and sailors mentioned in the bill at so
q month, and a uniform pension Of $A q
month for soldiers themselves metioned
In the bill.
His motion to recommit was lost on
viva voce vote, and the bill came up for
passage. The vote was plainly In favor
OF the bill, but Mr.. Roddenbery promptly
demanded a division, and Ollie James,
Speaker pro tenn, counted 1870 in the at
frmative and in the negative.
The gentleman from Georgia then made
point OF no quorum. which was sus-
tanned by the chair. and roll call on
the bill was ordered.
The vote was 214 to 80 In favor OF the
bill, which effectually put an end to the
flibuster begun yesterday evening and
which Mr.. Roddenbery attempted to get
In motion again today.

One Way to Get Auburn Hair.

From the Chicapo Tribune.
1t has been found that the way to OBJ
tain auburn hair is to get A'job in a soda
ash manufactory. A new soda ash plant
started abroad employs many men In the
process Of changing the salt as it comes
from the huge veins which underlie the
locality. When these men went to work
they wore hair that ranged from the light
blond Of the natives Of northern Europe
to the dark and shiny locks that grow
upon the heads Of other races.
Gradually It was noted that the hair Of
the blond men was assuming a golden
tinge, and as time wore on the golden hue
deepened, until now the hair ranges
through all the shades OF red, from q
golden auburn to a fiery red. The change
from the brown hair Of some Of the men
to the reddish tinge appeared to be
slower, while the black hair resisted long
est. but now virtually every man who has
worked in the plant more than = year can
truly say that his hair IL red. Mustaches
and boards have been affected in the
same way.

TWO CAVALRY TROOPS
ORDERED TO TEXAS
Residents of Big Bend Country
of Texas Fear Marauding
Mexican Bands.

Owing to the constant reports of danger
from marauding bands OF Mexicans In
the Big Bend country Of Texas, 1t has
been deemed advisable to strengthen the
small patroiling force in that section.
Consequently orders were issued today
for two troops of the Sd Cavalry at San
Antonio to proceed there at once for bor-
der patrol.
That action was based on representa-
tons made by Gov. Colquitt Of Texas that
the bend was infested with lawless
Mexfcans, who menaced the safety OF
residents who had appealed to the state
authorities for military protection. AL
though no increase has been made to the
military patrol. such action will be taken
whenever the Washington administration
deems 1t essential for the enforcement Of
the neutrality laws and the protection Of
American interests.
Americans Are Safe.
The apprehension entertained for the
safety of the fifty Americans cut off
from communication at Velardena, Mex
leo. appears to have been groundless. ac-

the case at the instance of the State De-
