Roanoke, May IA. - The
foregoing was the answer
adopted by the ''old order
German Baptists or Dunkards
| at their annual conference at
Hanging Rock near here yes
terday, to the question deal
ing with the use of telephones
in the homes of the members
Iof the church. The effect of
the ruling of the conference
on this question which was
probably the most important
considered by the conference,
is to allow members to avail
themselves of the modern
means of communication I'M
der such restrictions as would
preclude any improper infu-
ence among the brothers in
the way of being weaned away
from the primal laws of God by
Invention of modern science.
The debate on the question
was interesting and the dis
cussion was intermixed with
earnest appeals for harmony
and adherence to the Gospel
for guidance in all earthly af-
fairs.
In this age Of commercial
ism, when the telephone has
been universally adopted as
the safest, cheapestand quick
est means of direct commune
cation, the decision of the ''old
order'' Dunkards is one that
interests everyone. But this
particular religious sect
sticks close to the Gospel as
they see it, and their efforts
are to follow, as closely as
possible, in His steps," and
to make use of many of the |
modern man-made inventions
they believe, tend toI
wean Christians away from
Gods teachings.
Many of the brothers are

John S. Mise's Life Ends.

Princess Anne. Nd, May 12.-
Former Congressman John S.
Wise. of Virginia, died at noon
today at the summer residence of
his son, United States District
Attorney Henry A. Wise, of New
York, near Princess Anne. Md.
Mr.. Wise has been an invalid
for the last six years. He was
in a hospital at Bryn Mawr, near
Philadelphia, for six months.
He left the hospital on May 9th
for his home, Kiptopeake, in
Northampton county, Virginia.
He stopped at his sons home for
a short visit and shortly after
his arrival was stricken with
pneumonia. Hemorrhages from
the lungs set in on Sunday.
Few Americans have had a
more varied career than John S.
Wise. He was born in Rio de
Janeiro, December u, 1916, while
his father was United States
Minister to Brazil. Several years
of his boyhood were spent in the
Executive Mansion at Richmond,
his father being Governor Of
Virginia during the stormy per
iod just previous to the Civil.
War, when John Browns raid,
capture and execution had stir
red up the whole country.
John Wise was mere lad wher
the war broke out, a cadet at the
Virginia Military Institute, ani
was one of the brave little com
pany of boys who marched from
the schoolhouse to the battle Of
New Market. He served as sec
oud lieutenant in the Confederate
Army, in which his father was q
general until the end of the wal
and then took up the practice Of
law. 4.
He was graduated in 1867 from
the University of Virginia, with
the degree of bachelor OF
literature.
When the Readjuster move.
ment swept through the State in
the late seventies Wise followed
Gen. Billy" Malone and was a
leading figure in the bitter cam.
paigns that divided the whole
State. He was one of the Demo
Gratis who at this time went ovel
to the Republican party. HI
was rewarded with the position
of United States District At
torney during the Garfeld-Ar'
thur administration. He wa:
elected to Congress in 1882 as Z
Readjuster-Republican and il
1884 was selected TO lead the las
great fight of the Readjuster:
for State Offices, being nominated
as the candidate for Governor
against Fitzhugh Lee. In tn,
Cleveland tidal wave of that yea
the Readjusters were swampet
and Lee defeated Wise.

To Free a House Of Flies.

Pyrethrum powder burnt in a
room Supplies flies until you can
sweep them up and put them
where they belong, A little of
this burnt in room in the early
morning will exempt the flies all
day. Twenty drops of carbolic
acid dropped on hot shovel or
hot piece of iron, creates avapor
that lays flies low. The com
mon mignonette plant grown in
jars End placed in a room makes
flies sick. A handy thing is the
white clover; flies hate it's odor.
Have little of this around in a
vase and you'll notice the scear-
city of flies. Another ,remedy
that for all purposes has but few
equals is a solution of formalin,
or formaldeyde in water. One
spoonful of this liquid in pint
of water left exposed in room
will make flies scarce in very
short time indeed. - Lesleys'

until the doctor remarked that il

geon. Then Bismarck was put upon
a diet of salt behring's for six weeks,
to which a little butter, bread and

The Geographical Center.

Washington, May ia point
ten miles south of Smith Center
Kan. is the geographical center
of the United States. This fact
has been established by experts
Of the geographical survey. The
calculation was made at the re-
quest of officials of the census
bureau, who had determined the
center of population to be Mon
roe county Ind. The geograph-
zeal center was aScertained by
determining the center of gray
ity of map of the United States
This map which was on paper of
uniform thickness, was so cut as
to present an exact outline of
the geography of the country.
Then by the application of sys-
tenn of line intersection it was
ascertained that the geographic
cal center was in Smith county,
Kan. That point is the center
of continental United States, as
the calculation did not include
the territory Of Alaska or any
outlying possessions.
Officials of the geographical
survey said that when the cal
cuIation of the geographical cen
ter first was made there was un-
certainty as to it's location, Ow-
ing to the fact that the govern
ment had no reliable survey Of
the cOuntry's coast lines. In re-
cent years an accurate survey of
this character has been made
and the government officials say
the geographical center canno,
change to greater extent than
a few hundred feet. This change
can come only with a change in
the outlines of the United States

BALANCE OF The SEXES.
Nssssos Why Women Ovtovmbs' Ne"
In Airsst All Civilized lsods-

The fact that in almost all civi-
lizcd countries women outnumber
men has been ascribed TO the higher
birth rate Of girl babies, yet sta
tis,ics show that los boys are born
to ovcry 100 girls. According to
figures compiled by a European stint
istician, the girl has a better chance
than the boy of attaining maturity.
He finds that from the third to
the fifteenth year the mortality for
both sexes is the same; from the
fifteenth to the nineteenth yeur, the
critical age for girls, the girls
chances arc slightly better than the
boys; from the thirtieth year to
the thirty-ffth the mortality among
women is smaller than among men,
and it continues smaller until the
sevcntisth year. Then, for a dec
ado and half, the sexes once more
have the same chance OF survival,
but above eighty-fve years OF age
woman again stands a much better
chance than man.
To account for this difference the
statistician points out that woman
has greater residence in shaking of
diseases than man. 1t is true that
the physical strength Of man is
greater than womaD's, but wom-
ans power of endurance is more TO-
bust.
One reason for this is that wo-
man possesses finer perception OF
her power If endurance than man,
and when her perception warns her
of fatigue, sho stops. A man does
not stop until his power IS exhaust
ed. His nervous system IS not as
finely organized as woman's. and
az Mosso, the Italian psychologist,
hs pointed out, men and women
arc entirely dependent upon their
nerves for caution not to overc1ert.
While it is true that women more
easily contract many diseases, par
ticularly nervous and mental dis
eases, than men, they overcome
them moro casily.--New York Sun.
