until two witches rode into the back
door upon their brooms and escorted
them out upon the campus, around a

Very Entertaining.

Rev. Charles r. Hamilton, OF the
Presbyterian Church, who has been
missionary in the Philippine Islands
for the past six years, delivered most
entertaining lecture, to a crowded con-
gregation, at the Presbyterian church
last Sunday night. He took up the
manner of living of the natives, their
progress in civilization since the Is
lands were possessed by the United
States, the enterprise of the natives,
the growth of the city of Manila,
over six hundred automobiles now
owned and operated in that metropolis,
its many factories, etc. He spoke for
more than one hour, but the lecture
was interesting from start to finish.
Rev. Hamilton's wife, two children,
and his brother, Rev. Earl G. Ham
ilton, who is pastor of the Presbyter,
ian Church, Marrowbone, were with
him. Mrs. Hamilton also works as
missionary in the Philippines. Before
returning to the Islands Rev. Hamil
ton purposes to raise S25, 900 to be useC
for college building in that far of
country.
The meeting of the Hamilton family
at this place was the first time they
had all been together for more thai
six years, and it was certainly very
happy gathering. The days of "Aulc
Lang Syne," were recalled, and a:
they expressed it, the. time for the
family reunion was entirely too short

= Terrible Outrage.

Last Friday night, Halloween, a
party or parties, who went out Burkes-
vile street, about eleven O'Clock, was
guilty Of an outrage that should be
and is condemned by all law abiding
citizens. The guilty party is not
known, but when he got in front of
Mr.. W T. Ottley's residence he fired
his pistol, the ball passing through
the family room, lodging in an inside
door Mrs. Ottley was in line of the
bullet but was in a STOPPING position
when the shot was fired Had she
been i'll standing position the bullet
would have struck her in the head.
1t is not thought that an enemy of
Mr.. Ottley was guilty of this conduct,
but it is attributed to whisky and in
discriminate firing of pistol. This
should be warning TO parties who
are handy with their revolvers after
night time. There is no occasion for
a person in this community to have a
pistol on him day or night, and if they
were left severely alone much trouble
would be avoided.

There is one great problem that
confronts the city which must be TAX
en- in hand at once and solved per-

the trustees have had the matter in
discussion for some time, but as it inl-

have hssitated about taking action
without an expression from the pe0-

There is a tract of eighty acres a
considerable distance above the city
which lies below the general level of
the country which is admirably
adapted to the city needs and which
can be bought at a reasonable price,
but after that is acquired there will
be the necessity for an expensive pipe
line to bring the water to the city.
On this land there could be con-

Catholic Missionaries Meet

(By United Press ASSociation)
Boston, Oct. 1S-Nearly one hun
dred bishops and archbishops and
other high church dignitaries arrived
in Boston today to attend the greatest
and most important Catholic event
held in America this year. The event
is the second congress of the Catholic
Missionaries Association. The first
congress was held in Chicago in 1908
and the second was to have been held
in Boston last year. Owing to the
fact that the Eucharistic Congress
was held that year in Montreal, it
was postponed until this year. The
congress opens at the Cathedral Of
the Holy Cross tomorrow. All the
bishops and archbishops of America
will attend. All the sessions will be
secret excepting the minor public
ones to be held at Lowell and other
surrounding cities. The opening mass
will be celebrated by Apostolic Del
egate Bonzano of Washington. Car
dinal O'Connell will be one of the
chief figures at the congress. He will
preach the sermon at tomorrow's 5
opening religious services. Following
the service Cardinal O'Connell Will
tender luncheon to the distinguished
guests.
In all the churches of the city there
will be special vesper services, bene-
diction and sermons.
