LOSS TO METHODISM.
Death of Mrs. william Butler who
Founded Missionary society.

Mrs William Butler. one Of the eight
women who 43 years ago founded the
Woman's Foreign Missionary society Of
the Methodist Episcopal church, died at
her home in Newton Center, Mass., Fri
day afternoon in the 9th year of her
age.
Mrs Butler went to India in 1856 with
her husband, who founded the Methodist
Episcopal mission in that country. In
1873 they founded missions of the same
church in Mexico, where their son, DIR.
John w. Butler, still carries on the work.
Mrs. John Legg. president of the New
England branch, said: Mrs. Butler has
been woman of very unusual activity.
When sc years of age she visited India
for the jubilee.
Until within a year she has been a
regular attendant at the board meetings
of the Woman's Foreign Missionary So
ciety also attending many large gather
ings and speaking in the interest of their
work.
she was a most modest woman, yet
she could hold the attention Of thousands
Of people and convince many of the great
need in the mission work.
"Only about eight years ago, when So
years of age, she spoke at a large mass
meeting in Carnegie hall, New York. AZ
ter the meeting, John Huyler went to the
platform, asked to be introduced to her
and said as he shook her hand, want
to give 5000 to Mrs Butler for her work.
Ms. Butler was confined to her bed only
a few hours. but had been gradually fail
ing in strength for several months. No
woman in Methodlsm will be more great
ly mourncd than Mother Butler"

ways ana oy~uys and carry, the gospel
contained In good books to persons
who. unless the books were not taken
to them. would not come In contact
with the influence Of the library.
1t 10 this idea-the carrying Of books
to the people rather than waiting for
tho people to come for the books-that
led Mr.. Orchard to propose the changes
in state and federal laws to permit the
creation Of offices of community IL
brarians and the use OF rural mail
carriers to distribute and collect the
books.
There is no valid reason" Mr..
Orchard declared, why there should
not be located in every center from
which radiates rural mail routes
librarian with plenty OF books and the
privilege Of using the carriers to de-
liver and collect them at nominal
charge for the service. Free mail de-
livery was established for educational
purposes. The government has made
a splendid investment in this service,
and it is justlfying itself in every way.
But we can easily double the profits
which the service pays to the people
with little additional investment
educational Problem.
I'm driving over the rural mail routes
of Iowa have been i'm pressed with the
large percentage of homes that the
carriers pass without the delivery OF
anything more than an occasional va
grant circular. In many OF these homes
there are boys and girls with great
latent possibilitfes-with hearts and
minds yearning to be trained to per-
ceive at least some Of the mysteries OF
the world in which they live. 1t is
shameful waste Of time, energy and
opportunity for the government to
spend millions of dollars to send rural
mail carriers past the doors Of our
people daily and not realize the maxi
mum results that might easily be OBJ
tained.'
Supplement the work of the mail car
rier in distributing books, Mr.. Orchard
advised the township librarian, who
could work thru the schools. the
churches, mothers clubs, farmers or
carnations, young peoples clubs and
thru house to house visitation, al
ways armed with books and ready to
offer suggestions as to books and ideas
worth while
These are not radical changes in NJ
brary circles, according to Mr.. Orchard,
but Is logical development OF the
work already established and ripe for
this extension. Yet It will bring the
community and its books together
will stimulate intellectual development
and will extend the benefits Of the free
public library to every citizen of the
state.

Especial Correspondence

WASHINGTON, Oct. II. - The latest
cabinet gossip Is to the effect that Sec
rotary OF the Treasury McAdoo does
not intend to remain long in tne presi-
dents Official circle. 1t is further to
the effect ne would like to get back to
business life and that once the cur
rency bill is safely past the rocks he
will leave the CABINET and so back to
Broadway.
Intimate friends of Secretary Nc
Adoo are responsible tor lne story.
They aver that ii he goes out OF the
cabinet his place will be taken by As
slstant Secretary Hamiln. now in
charge of customs. When the latter
took subordinate office there was
considerable wonderment about 1t ana
it is suspected he had hc.es of event
ual promotion to the secretaryship.
Not Out Of Harmony.
: Secretary McAdoo is not alleged to
be out Of harmony with the admins
tration. In the case of Attorney Gen
eral McReynolds, whose retirement has
been widely discussed, some things are
laid to his door which the administra-
ton can not sponsor. But Secretary
McAdoo, tho there was bitter opposi-
ton to his entering the cabinet, and
tho he has still The antagonism OF
some elements Of his party, has got on
without trouble He Is the right hand
man of the president on the currency
bill and is responsible for some Of Its
features. The trouble with Secretary
McAdoo is that he does not particular
~ relish the business Of being gov
eminent Official. He has been trained
In big business and he sets impatient
of government red tape. He likes to
cut across lots to results and when he
finds the way barred by regulation or
practice he longs for sphere OF action
where he will not be so tampered.
Will; Got Credit.
If the new CURRENCY bill on going into
operation works to the 50 tisfaction OF
the country and strengthens the finan-
cial system, Mr.. McAdoo will get
lot Of credit out Of It, He could AFFORD
to quit the cabinet and get back to
business under such circumstances.
Maybe by that time he'll BE- more used
to the ways Of Uncle Sans function
aries and take to it mor> easily. Just
now, his intimates opine he likes Off
cialdom about as well as fish likes to
stay out of water.

The "zone of danger" a. the Bullo-

scene of swarming activities. Besides

pers saw a fine chance for big scoop.
and sent out much-heralded parties Of
their own. The activities Of these
were we'll reported. you may be sure.
Public interest was at once focused
reassuringly on the chances Of finding
the annoying malefactor today or to-
morrow; there no longer existed q
doubt that he would be found. The
weight Of dread was lifted, and in the
reaction people made light of the In.
conveniences and fun of the menacing
messages that now came In by the
dozen.
It was necessary to take extraordi-
nary precautions against thieves and
fire; the people took them. 1t was
needful to slacken business In order
that the congestion Of the rush hour
might not again prove tragic; business
was slackened. People we're willing
to undergo many things. because. after
all, they were but temporary. The
mailman Of the Catskills would sooner
or later be found; his pernicious activ-
tiles brought to q conclusion. The
country to be searched was tremen-
dous, Of course, but the search was
thorough.
The public delivered Itself joyousiy
to debauch Of rumors and Of eek
tras." The insistent alarms Of danger,
trickling in slowly from the outside
world. dried up in the warmth Of
optimism. Only the more thoughtful,
to a few Of whom these warnings
came. coupled them with Monsieur KS
repeated threats, and walked uncer-
tain and in humility.

ford stayed with him. but immensely
bored, it must be confessed. Once he
suggested that II Darrow had nothing
for him to do that afternoon. he
thought he would like to 60 out for .
little exercise.
barrow shook his head.
"You may 60. II you want to. Jack"
said he. "but II you do I'll have to
get some one else. This isn't much Of
q Job. but may need you any mo-
ment."
"All right" agreed Jack cheerfully.
"Only I wish you'd let fellow know
what to expect"
barrow shook his head. The two
now practically lived in the Office. Mel

dozed.
Thus there passed two days Of tho
search. On the third day the intermit-
tent phenomena and the messages sud-
denly ceased. This fact was hailed
jubilantly BY al tho papers az indi-
eating that at last the quarry had
become alarmed by the near-coming
search. From tho contracted district

OF the outcome no one in touch with

they could not have been sent from
