City Auditorium at Chattanooga, Tenn.
one of the greatest in history. The
promoters of the plans for the con-
vention anticipate an attendance of
1000 laymen and 1000 ministers and
they see no reason, realizing the
strength of the Southern Baptist con.
stituency, why there should not be
1900 delegates present in all, to join
in so great an occasion.
Chattanooga Raptists pursued an
aggressive policy to secure this con-
vention, which will be the first of it's
kind ever held by Southern Baptists.
No efforts were spared in the cam
paign to secure it. Not only the Bap-
lists but also representatives of other
Christian bodies, as well as civic Off
cials, joined in the effort. For days the
meeting place of the convention was
undecided upon, as other cities offered
such tlattering inducements, but finally
the word was given out that Chatta
uooga had been selected and 1mme'
diately all concerned got busy making
preliminary preparations.
The president of the Southern Bap-
fist laymen's movement is DR.. J. Har-
ry Tyler, Of Baltimore, Md, and the
secretary is DR.. ]. T. Henderson, of
Bistol, Tennessee-Virginia. Both OF
these gentlemen visited Chattanooga
and other contesting cities, and at
Chattanooga, the place finally select
ed, they were guests of the Baptist
pastors conference, while they were
looked out after by the wide-awake
manager of the Hotel Patten, one of
the largest in the south, Houston R.

the campaign for the securing of the
convention for Chattanooga.

WIDOWS VERDICT SET ASIDE

Judge Holds Coal Company Not LA
BILE For Mine Foreman's Negligence.
Mauch Chunk, Pa, Jan. 6.-Judge
Heydt filed an important opinion az
the result of a motion made by George
M. Rhoades, Of Pottsville, and w. G
Thomas, counsel for the Lehigh Goa
and Navigation company, to set aside
the verdict of $4,000 awarded to Mrs
Emma Watkins, of Lansford, for the
death of her husband last June, In
which he allows the nation and en-
tered judgment in favor of the defend
ant company, notwithstanding the yer
dict rendered by the jury.
The judge holds that coal com
pany cannot be held responsible fol
the negligence of mine foreman. Al
the trial it was brought out that the
company was negligent in not inspect
ing the mine properly for gases, which
caused the death of Mr.. Watkins.
The plaintiffs attorneys. Daniel w
Sitter and James NJ. Breslin. contend
ed that the company was responsible
since it employed al assistant fire
boss, Con McHugh, in the absence OF
a certificate of qualification.
The courts ruling would make the
mine foreman, Thomas Reeves, re
sponsible.

Ono of Our Queer Customs.

The two citizens of the United States
who are every four years elected presi-
dent and vice president do not have
any official notification Of their election
Information regarding the event goes
to them as it goes to the public. Mel
Their the federal constitution nor the
electoral count act makes any provision
for notifying them or issuing to them a
commission certifying their election
They do not even receive from the
president Of the senate and the speaker
Of the house certified copy Of the pro
ceedings Of the joint meeting of the
two bodies at which the certificates Of
the electoral votes of the several states
are opened and counted. Nor is any
committee of either body or both bodies
appointed to wait upon them or other
wise notify them Of the result Some
kind Of commission Is issued to all
other officers Of the government, but
the president and the vice president
have no official document as evidence
OF their election. It 10 merely a case of
common knowledge.-Bufalo Courier.

Maple SUGAR Trees,

Within its wide range the sugar ma.
pie appears as a predominant tree
only In the New England states, New
York, southern Canada, northern and
western Pennsylvania and in parts OF
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, Wis
consin and Minnesota. In the south
ern Appalachians it occurs in scattered
bodies where climate conditions are
similar to those Of the north. In the
extreme northern part of New York
state and the adjacent district of Que
bee the forest growth Is often almost
pure maple, and even considerably far
Their south, where beech and birch be-
come associate trees, the sugar maple
holds its own as the dominant species.
In northern Pennsylvania at an alti-
tude of over 1000 feet the mixture is
much the same as it is in New York.
In Ohio. Indiana and Illinois similar
condition is found. But as the hilly
country disappears the maple retreats
to the richer and damper soils, leav-
ing great areas to the oaks and chest
nuts.-Bulletin Of the Department Of
Agriculture.

A Wesley Anecdote

It Is said that Charles Wesley was
sometimes easily annoyed. and on one
occasion at a conference he became so
irritated at the prolix remarks Of a
speaker that he said to his bfother:
"Stop that mans speaking1 Let US
attend to business"
But the offender was reiau4g his re-
ligious experience, and. though 1t was
at so great length, John Wesley evil
IDENTIFY thought that no one had right
to interfere with it. He was therefore
allowed to continue, but the moment
came when Charles could contain him

John, "I'll leave the conferenfe."
By this time John was enjoying the
mans simple story, and he only turned
