The English-Bar was not the most
inviting place. Sober, Ryanne had
! never darkened it's doors. The odor
of garlic prevailed over the lesser
smells of bad cooking. It was lighted
only from the street, by two windows
and door that swung open all the
days in the year. The windows were
generally half obscured by bills an
nouncing boxingmatches, wrestling
bouts and the Autographs Of cheap
theaters. The walls were decorated
in manner to please the inherent
Anglo-Saxon taste for strong men, fast
horses. and pink-tighted Venuses. A
few iron-topped tables Uttered both

men of a dozen nationalities, slipping
coffee, drinking beer, Or solemnly
| watching the Water-buhbles In their
Sheeshas, Or pipes.
A curious phase Of this class Of I'M
der-world is that no one is curious.
Strangers are never questioned except
when they invite attention, which they
seldom do. So, when Ryanne and his
quasi-companions entered, there wasn't
the slightest agitation. A blowsy bar
maid stood behind the bar, polishing
the copper spigots. Ryanne threw her
a greeting, to which she responded
with a snirk that once upon time
had been a smile. He, being master

SKETCH OF MOVEMENT
Southern Baptists Endorse laymen's
Missionary Movement in Rich
mond, Va, in 1907.

Southern Baptists endorsed the Lay
mems Movement at the meeting OF
their convention in Richmond, Va, in
May, 1907. An executive committee OF
nine men was appointed with J. Harry
Tyler as chairman, and Baltimore as
headquarters. After months of search
ing for a secretary the committee Sc
cured the services of ]. 4. Henderson,
of Virginia, for part of his time.
The movement has gained consider
able Roadway among Southern Bap-
fists; the different states have COM
mittees more or less active and hun
dreds of association and churches
have committees to press the princi-
Piles of this movement. South Caro-
lima has a salaried secretary. Scores
of men are recognizing the obligation
Of stewardship and are heartily giving
BE time thought and service s
well as money to the propagation of
the gospel.
The great convention to be held in
Chattanooga will add new impetus to
this movement among Southern Bap-
lists.
The speakers are to be among the
ablest on the continent. President S.
C. Mitchell, of the State University of
South Carolina; DR.. ]. B. Gambrell, of
Texas; DIR. W. ]. Williamson, of St.

FOR FEDERAL CONTROL !
OF ALL CORPORATIONS
Bill in the Senate For Indus;
trial Commission. =

Washington, Jan. 7.-Senator Brls'
tow, Progressive, of Kansas, introduc
ed a bill for an industrial commission
of seven members to take over the
work of the bureau of corporations
and exercise control over all persons
firms or corporations doing an inter
state business with gross receipts Oh
more than 100000 year.
The bill, he said, proposed to create
q body similar to the interstate com
MERGE commission, to have the same
power over industrial concerns thai
the latter exercises over Transports
ton companies. 1t is in line with the
platform pledges of the Progressive
party.
"The purpose is" he declared, "tc
protect the people with some degree
of promptness from the extorsionate
practices of powerful corporations
without destroying the businesses they
represent"
He asserted that the commission
would not interfere with big business
operations, if such operations -
along honest and creditable lines,
and contended that the Standard o.
and tobacco trust cases had demon
strated that the courts were ineffel
tive for the supervision of "big bus
ness" i
The commission would have powe
to investigate the financial condition
business operations and managemeE
of all big interstate concerns.

Tho Punishment of the Baqno.

In former times the punishment Of
the bagno Oath. one Of the most clev-
erly cruel infections ever devised, was
administered in Venice. where the wa
ter of the lagoons played so prominent
q part in its penal system. The pun
ishment was as follows: The prisoner
was placed In vat the sides Of which
were slightly in excess Of the average
height of man. In order to hold In
check the rising tide of a supply of
water which ran into the vat In a con-
slant stream the criminal was furnish
ed with a scoop with which to bale
out the water as fast as it came in.
The respite from death by Immersion
thus obtained was more or less pro-
longed, according to the powers Of en-
durance possessed by the victim. But
imagine the mortal torture. the ex-
hausting and even hideously grotesque
efforts, the incessant and pitiless toll
by night and day, to stave off the dread
moment fast approaching when. over
come by sleep and fatigue, he was un-
able to struggle any longer against his
bate.

CHATTANOOGA MERITS THE DIS
TINCTION OF BEING VERY
STRONG IN ITS CHURCHES.
Baptists Occupy High Place Numer-
icaIly-Interchurch Federation Has
. Proved to be a Great Success in
This City.

Chattanooga merits easily the dis
This is demonstrated not only by the
cordial welcome it always extends to
visiting religious conventions, but by
the activity in church circles locally.
The interchurch federation there has
already proven a success, as was
shown recently when the city audi
forum was the scene of service in
the interest of church unity, under the
auspices of the federation.
The Baptists in Chattanooga occupy
a high position numerically. There
are in Chattanooga over dozen ac-
tive white Baptist churches and each
Monday morning, following a confer
ence of the ministers of all denomina-
tions in the Y. M. C. A. building, the
Baptist pastors meet in the Sunday
school room of the First Baptist
Church and there discuss the work of
their denomination. The suburban
churches in Chattanooga, as well as
those uptown, are active in promot-
ing the causes for which they stand.
All the Baptists of Chattanooga are
unanimous in their anticipation of the
coming laymen's convention and they
are making big preparations to give
their visiting brethren, both ministers
and laymen, hearty welcome, the
memory of which will last long after
the convention shall have adjourned.
A Chattanooga Baptist welcome,
which is of the highest type, and
welcome from the members of the 9TH
err denominations, born of Christian
fellowship, will be accorded all dele
gates.
Chattanoogans will open their hearts
to the Baptist hosts who journey that
way February 4, and 6.
