Majestic

Great crowds are thronging the Ma
iestic theatre this week on account of
the fine bill of vaudeville being shown
at that popular playhouse. Every act
to be seen at the Indoor Garden is a
star in its respective field and everyone
desiring the best in vaudeville has an
opportunity of satisfying that desire. The
fascinating aviatrix of vaudeville is one
of the best novelties on the programme,
while Ben Harvey and Jesse Haynes, as
black face comedians of the real kind,
have a very enjoyable act.

GIRL 8 YEARS OLD
WALKS 239 MILES.

st. Louis, Aug. Solve Hogan,
8 years old, by walking 239 miles
from Springfield, Mo-, to East st.
Louis, has set a new worlds rec
ord. She is at the Helping Home
of the Volunteers of America, in
East st. Louis, little the o for
her journey, but at the same time
not overly eager to walk many
miles more.
The chiId's trip was taken with
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. A. B.
Hogan, her oldest sister, Laura, q;
brother George 8, and sister Lou
ella /. All walked from Spring

carried by her mother, a frail
woman, who weighs less than 100
pounds.
Their trip started in Crawford,
county, Ark, after the flood had
destroyed the crop Hogan was
raising on a rented farm. They
are trying to make their way to

Hogan formerly was a prosperous
farmer.

and many stops were necessary to
allow the child to rest. Olive
walked teh entire distance with
the exception Of the last two

given them to cross to East st.

A Manuscript 1.7oo Years Old.

Christian Herald: Considerable in
terest has been awakened among or
ientalists and Biblical scholars gen.
orally by eason OF the discovery an
nounced from Egypt of an ancient
Coptic papyrus manuscript which
some distinguished Investigators are
said to have pronounced the Oldest
Bible manuscript in existence. This
interesting '''find" is said to include
the text of the greater part of the
Book of Deuteronomy, the whole of
Jonah and the major portion of the
Acts OF the Apostles and the Epistles.
Discussing the discovery, The London
Times concludes that the new codex
proves beyond all question that copies
Of an Egyptian or Coptic translation
of some of the books of the New Test
ament were in circulation In the early
| part Of the fourth century, and it de-
duces from the evidence that the ver-
sion belongs to the third century,
The Acts, although written in a good
hand, is evidently a copy from an
earlier document, since it contains
many paIpable errors which could be
made by a careless copyist from an
| old or partly obliterated text. Words,
and even lines, are omitted.
1t will, indeed, be a remarkable dis
covery If the manuscript just brought
to light should prove to be older than

that Mark, the evangelist was sent
to Egypt to establish the first churches
In Alexandria. This must have been
while he was still a young man, prob
ably under 40. There are many refer
ences extant tauching his work In
Egypt. He began his work there
about A. D., 62-63, and his propa-
ganda spread over q large part of
Egypt.

Grand Junction, Col, Aug. 81
| When Rev. Elmer Il. Huffner, recent
ly resigned pastor of the Christian
church here, preached a sermon advo-
eating the exile of old maids as waste
humanity" he little dreamed that he
would get into his hair Helen Gould
and many other women from all parts
Of the country. Yet such is the case.
Letters of condemnation are coming
in every day, mostly from old maids
themselves.
Among the letters which Rev. Mr..
Huffner has received is one from Hell
en- Gould, which reads:
CHANGING over a newspaper / no.
tice an item concerning your sermon
on Love, Courtship and Marriages
One part of this l especially notice,
saying that old bachelors and bache-
lor maids should be isolated on an
island so they could not hinder the
progress Of civilization.
Il do not know why you make this
statement, but I feel that 1T is a
great injustice to the bashelor maids
Of our country. They are, I admit,
many man haters in the world, but
a great many bachelor maids are not
living alone because they so choose,
but because they have been unable
to find a suitable companion.
Il must admit hat 1 am speaking
from the standpoint of the bachelor
maid. / feel that such persons as
myself are not hindering the prog
ress Of civilization, but advancing it.
If / had found a suitable helpmate /
might have spent my money in a diff
ferent way, and a way which might
not have done as much good as it
has.
please think this question over
n before preaching on this subject
again make UP your mind that there
Is some good in living a single life"
Rev. Mr.. Huffner has also heard of
an attack with Miss Mary Finn of
Finn and a prominent suffragist, has
made upon him. Miss Gould is a
personal friend of mine,'' said Miss
Finn, "and I endorse her opinions
that were it not for unmarried wom-
en-old maids as you call them
there would be many preachers with
out employment, wives and homes"
Miss z. l.. King of Monterey, Cal,
calls the clergyman's attention to the
good done by such unmarried women
as Helen Gould, Anne Morgan, Jane
Adams and Countess Annie Leary,
closing with the suggestion, that If
it were not for the dear old maids
some preachers would Q be- hunting
other jobs"
Rev. Mr.. Huffner is undaunted by
the attacks Of the women, and still
sticks to his original declaration.
Miss Gould is a noble woman" he
says, "but her nobleness would be
greatly enhanced were she married.
She is in a peculiar position because
OF her riches. She should accept
a position in the backwoods, incog-
nito. Here she might find the right
one, a righteous, industrious man
who would love her for her true
self and not for wealth."
