Atlanta, Sept. ia signal station.
which was one of the most important
in the civil war, will be re-established
on the top of Kennesaw mountain,
above Marietta, this morning, after
having been abandoned for half a
century.
Messages of good will and peace
will be wig-wagged from the new
station far and wide throughout north
Georgia. They will be seen from the
tops of the Atlanta skyscrapers, ami
from Lookout Mountain at Chatta-
nooga.
Two members of the signal corps
of the Union army, who served
through the harassing days of war
will conduct the ceremonies SATURDAY.
which are to dedicate the mountia
top to the sentiments of peace. All
Union and Confederate veterans of the
vicinity have been invited.
1t was from this station that Cen
eral Sherman's famous message to
General Corse at Rome was sent.
Hold the fort, I'm coming" Con-
federates occupied the mountain top
first when Johnson's army was re-
treating into Atlanta before Sherman's
hosts. When the federals captured it,
they continued using it as a signal
station.

THIS GOAT CHEWS UP
SOME DOLLARS WORTH
OF PENSION PAPERS

Hammond, La, Sept. 12.-Alexander
Hammond's famous goat, is strolling
through the city strests with Uncle
Pete Carraways pension papers some
where in his system.
While Uncle Pete was talking over
old times with another civil war veter-
an in front of the postoftice this
morning, Alexander sauntered up from
the rear and extracted said pension
papers from the old soldiers coat
pocket. He did with them what any
goat would do under similar circum-
stances. Uncle Pete looked around
Just as the Hammond, La, part of the
address was making it's debut into the

Unless Mr.. Carraway can get dupE'

an operation. If the orepation is per-
formed scores of Hammondites will be
on the scene to claim lost articles
which may have been filed away witt

WANT $4,000? JUST
FIND AN IVORY FAN

New York, Sept 12.-Do you want
little easy money?
Yes? Well. Here's chance to pick
up $4,000.
All you have to do is to find a fan.
It's only a little fan, a little ivory
fan. But it was a gift of king, and
therefore valued for it's associations.
And the owner is a Bohemian princess,
from whom it would seem a shame to
take the money.
Miss Anna Marie Herdliczke is the
loser of the fan.
She went to the theatre last night.
When she arrived home she found that
she had lost ring with black pearl
surrounded with eleven diamonds, and
the little ivory fan. She found the ring
in the automobile, but the fan was
gone.
A lady friend called up a newspaper
and told the story of the loss and said
the loser was offering $4,000 for the
recovery of the fan.
A reporter investigated the story.
"And do you mean to say that you
will give $4,000 to the finder of the
FAM the reported asked incredulous-
ly.
"Poof! Certainly" said the beauti-
full woman "My uncle will give it, or
I will give it myself. 1t was gift
from King Leopold when went with
my uncle to lunch at the palace"
Are you going on the stage?' the
reported asked, his brain growing dir
zy.

support his position.
When we consider the part the
Syrians have played in the his

etc. But these consoling exam
pies only make the wonder deep
er that Christianity should have
esteemed its most reliable expo
nent unworthy of absolute equal
ity.
1t scarcely meets the case to
prove by illustrious examples
that women are indispensable fac
tors in religion. So have been
the martyrs and the prosecuted
of all ages through what difficult
ties we know.
For the past century the wo-
man movement in religion has
been breaking through the bar
riers. In the Protestant com
munions the battle has gone on
steadily and successfully, and so
quietly as scarcely to be a bat
tie. Yet in every one of the
great denominations the right of
woman to recognition as an equal
co-laborer with man in the King
dom of God has been challenged
and opposed at every step. Mrs.
Doremus for thirty years kept up
the fight before the women We're
permitted to organize the first
Woman's Missionary Society.
Among Southern Baptists 25
years ago a similar proposition
was silently protested by the ma
jority and outspokenly resisted
by thousands. Among Southern
Methodists a petition has been
pending for years to give the
women not equal but more gem
erous representation in the di-
rection Of the missionary funds
contributed by themselves.
for Her Soul.
Speaking by the card, I have
made efforts in country churches
to organize womens societies,
for doing the sort of work every
Christian is commanded to do,
only to discover insuperable pref
udices in the minds of the breth-
rem.
At the bottom of this discred-
liable history of female repres-
sion in religion lies the jealousy
of the masculine prerogative. The
principle Of pernicious proxy, the
right Of the husband to discharge
religious obligations for the wife
Is persistent to this hour in the
practice of the churches.
Il amounts in effect to a. lay
mans priest craft, in which the
man assumes to stand between
the woman's soul and the free
and full discharge Of its respon-
sibility in practical duty.
Now the clouds are breaking
away and man is beginning to
relent. 1t will be a good day for
religion when the competency of
every woman under God for all
the freedom an individual soul is
decreed for, without reference to
SEX is heartily and universally
proclaimed and enforced.

These are the words of Queen
Elizabeth greeting the wife Of

made even the wife of an arch
bishop a nonentity.

The Bar Sinister in Church.
1t is an answer seeming fair,
and pious to the point, when the
limitations of female opportunity
are protested. to say that in the
church and in religion women
have nothing TO complain Of; that
they are free to exercise them
selves in the work of the Lord.
If this were true, 'twere very
true and very good. But the
record Of fact is discouraging.
From the beginning women
have occupied no position of au-
thority in the church. Her voice
has never been heard at a coun-
Gil, nor has her pen ever formu-
lated a decree. Looking at re-
ligion in history, one would sup
pose at first sight that it was
almost entirely a masculine affair.
Man has formulated its meta
physics, erected its theologies,
founded and governed its insti-
tutions. He is its pope, priest
and prophet; its legislator,
preacher and pastor" From the
Judean Decalogue, which includes

down to the recent records of the

The fact readily acknowledged
that women are the mainstay of

The fixed prohibition, thus far

has, however. not prevented wo-
men from exercising a powerful
influence upon religious progress.
The woman nature which ex-

ligion more intimately than
the mans, has projected itself
tremendously, notwithstanding
the ecclesiastical limitations set
upon 1t.
Indirectly she has sweetened
