at the call Of his parishioners in case
OF sickness or death. He had difficulty
in collecting his. salary. He had
worked continuously in order to build
a new church. and after it had been
constructed he was transferred to an
other charge. There was 1925 back
salary due him when he left. Failing
In his efforts to collect the debt, he
levied upon the church. and the sher-
lift sold the church to him for the ex-
act amount of the debt
There may he some to whom the
proceeding may seem sacrilegious.
But in these days when cven gam
bling debts are known to have been
upheld by the courts. there should be
some way In which a preacher can
enforce a claim for services rendered
to II congregation.
1t is hard to believe that mere emo.
tionalism and dramatic ability or the
preaching of unusual doctrines bring
greater financial rewards than the or
thodoX preaching Of the gospel. Yet
that seems To he the modern condi-
ton. The man with the hcresy. or
the new idea. can stir the crowd to
generosity. The preacher who sticks
L" the bible, it would seem. must find
his reward in heaven.

Green Stockings" has been performed
ny THIS distinguished actress in no less
IMAM three New York theaters this
season and 1t will be the play in which,
she will present herself here.
Miss Anglin is conceded to be one of
Americas greatest actresses and her
selection of a comedy this season as a
refer to tho emotional work in which
she achieved her early fame has en-
abied her to demonstrate that she is
possessed of vast talent as a comedi-
enne. The New York critics conceded
TINS talent and the run of Green
Stockings" there has been lengthy and
most profitable.
When Miss Anglin leaves New York
on saturday. her itinerary will carry
her by way of the middle west, Winni-
peg and the Canadian northwest, to
the Pacific coast. She will play as far
as San Francisco. returning east early
IN June. This will he one of the few

uisned actress on her way to the coast.

a halt, draw tho lihe, or place some
other obstacle In the. path of pro-
gresS.
or course. the ,highbrows tell u
the purpose of penal .servitude is re-
form. rather than punishment. and
that idea may have its advantages; II
does. no doubt, but most Of those adj
vantages. it seems to us, are for the
prisoners who haven't won a clear
title to all modern co%nveniences in
GLIDING tender solicitude. Following
the example of our own Warden Cod
ding. the Arizona governor is encOur-
aging the grand old game of baseball
In h ~penitenttary. and it was the
members of the '~pcnitentiarN team
that were entertained with u dinner
party.
Another of the governors plans for
making the p%enitcntiary seem more
like home is to work the convicts on
tho road without stripes or guards.
He is placing them on their honor,
although there isn't generally sup
posed to be a surplus of that COM
modify about the average penitcn-
to make a break for the bad lands, of
which Arizona has a large area.
Nor is this Arizona governor the
first one to advance this plan of figur-
ing largely on honor. where there
isn't enough to consider seriously. AS
Il matter of fact and in the interest
OF society. the old system of dealing
with prisoners probably had advant-
ages over the n~ew-fanglcd plans. Co
ing to the ~penitentiary ought to be
a punishment instead of a luxury.
Honor among thieves and worse has
been greatly over-estimatcd. Ncbras-
ka also had some %highbrow methods
in vogue in its state prison, and they
cost the life of the warden. deputy
warden. a guard and an innocent
farmer.
Nebraska. having learned its lesson,
probably will go back to the big stick
system of settling with criminals. and
it will be "A good thing for the state.
OF course. good behavior in prison
should cntitle the convict to some adj
vantagcs above those who are mani
testify unruly, n so mean there is no
hope of getting over it, but it should
not be carried to the point of taking
the convicts to dinner with the gov
ernor Even if all men arc created
free and equal, those who sacrifice
their freedom should also forfeit

THE PRICE OF PREACHERS.

1t has always been. and probably
will always remain. one Of the re-
markable phases of civilization that
while unorthodoX preachers can make
almost AS much money as high-priced
opera stars. the orthodox preachers
are the lowest paid of all the profess
sions. Reyivalists. with their big
choirs and their sense of the dra-
matte, draw large audiences and gen.
crous financial support. \ preacher
who is turned out of church for some
hcresy or other may go upon the lee
turc platform and be rewarded at the
rate of 500 a night. The orthodox
preacher. with all his sympathy for
and aid to those afflicted. with all his
hard work from morning until night.
is lucky if he draws enough salary
to give his family the bare necessities
OF life.
A case in point is that of the Rev.
George r. Coleman. who was pastor
of a church near Wilmington. Del. 1t
was a very small salary that he re-
ceived-just enough to provide for
the immediate wants Of his family.

congregation. Day and night he was

white Fingers On Black Mand
THE LIVING CELLS IN HENS EGGS BUILD UP FRESH HUMAN
New York American.)

tNew York Amcrican.)
A new and remarkable form OF
surgery has been introduced by DIR.
Russell Bellamy, a well-known physi-
clan and surgeon of Wilmington, n. c.
DIR. Bcllamy grows new tissue in the
human body in place of that which
has been destroyed by placing the
flesh living cells of a hens cgg in con-
tact with the injured part. The por-
ton of the egg chiefly used is the
membrane Just inside the shell cover
ing h white of the egg, with more or
less of the adjacent white or albumcu
In certain cases.
IhlS membrane consists Of two lay
ers--a thin white outer layer next to
the shell and another one, also thin,
next to the albumen. Both are com.
posed of mottled organic fibers more
delicate in the inner than in the outer
layer.
The tissue building appears to be
accomplished by the cells with which
the inner side of this membrane is
richly provided.
In n of many operations perform
ed by DIR. Bcllamy a negro woman 60
Years old had lost portions of her first
and second fingers from necrosis. OF
decay of the bone. The surgeons who
had been treating her had Just decid.
ed to amputate her hand. The white
of-egg treatment grew tissue. produc-
ed practically perfect fingers and the
woman was discharged cured.
One popularity of the case was that
the colored woman had two white
fingers In place of the injured colored
ones. A similar result occurred in sew

Many cases of gangrene of the fin.

of the tissue and ordinarily results in

such cases the egg cells grew new tbs.

tilation.
In one case a gangrenous appendix
was cured and a new section grown ir
place of the injured intestine.
This, as DIR. Bellamy says, may be
called creative surgery"
The scientific explanation of thi.
new surgical method appears to lie
chiefly in the fact that white of egg
is pure protoplasm-in other words
the Very material out of which all an.
lmals and plants are built up. One
might say that protoplasm is the ella,
OF the potter, nature. from which sh.
forms and fashions very living thin,

shown that when egg membrane is ap

VALUATION OF RAILROADS.

mind as To tho. dcsirahility of fixing

roads in the country regardless of
time and expense. tho passage nf the
Adamsun hill looking t" that happy
contamination is assured beyond any
of doubt. AS mapped ont by
tho house committee, h
task to he intrlIstpd tn the intcrstat"
commerce commission easily meas
ures up to the statement that this will
be one of the most sweeping invcsti-
cations ever authorized 10y congress.
But why should tho final report he
made moro remote by dovctailing the
railroad rate question with the money
trust investigation. as the committee
has done: Could not the %investiga-

they are manipulated, and who really

the interstate commission
is already fully employed with no
prospect of a relaxation of pressure
upon it's time. And seeing that when
it comes to supplying tho funds that
would enable it to hasten the end
congress hesitates to do SO. it is APP
parent that tho investigation will lie
long drawn out. If everything is scru-
tinized with the infinite particularly
set forth in the resolution. ten years
most probably will bc required to as

word of litigation precedent tn the

llas ii occurred to the enthusiastic
supporters of the Adalnson resolution
that the proposed investigation would
Indefinitely postpone the solution of

most pressing and important of all

gross going to do u thing that would

Of them in North Dakota. that are abb

development and progress? Nobody
stops to consider that an investigation
of the railroad question naturally acts
as a bar to a general construction
movement pending the distant and
uncertain outcome.
