In those days Mrs. Maud Ballington
Booth By her gracious manners. her
engaging disposition and her genuine
sympathy for the homeless and lost
won a place In the hearts Of many cub
tured and wealthy citizens OF New
York. She and her talented husband
were made welcome IN many drawing
rooms. They succeeded in reaching
and Influencing a class that none Of
their predecessors in America could
get within hailing distance OF. These
people helped to finance the Salvation
Army. and by setting the seal OF their
approval on its work widened its
sphere and broadened its influence.
Some persons have said London did
not approve OF the social "triumphs"
achieved by the son and daughter-in-
law of the general. II was thought that
Mrs Maud Darlington Booth had been
made a sort of social fad and that
when the persons who smiled on her
got tired of the diversion they would
simply drop her 1t is only fair to
say that the position she secured for
herself Is years ago has been strength

Darlington Booth. after a brief resi-
dence in the country, decided to be.
come an American citizen. He told
vast audience in the legislative assem-
bly, hall at Topeka, Kan. in February
of 1893 that he regarded the Constitu-
ton of the United States as the "su-
preme expression of free people"

FINS OLD OREGON TRAIL MAP
Edt&Snd D. Hicks Made an interesting
discovery While Rummaging
9 Through an Old Trunk.

Kansas City. = While rummaging
around in an old trunk containing a
lot of old papers and family effects,
Edmund D. Hicks, 2109 Belleview ave-
nue., found an interesting old map, the
property of his father which outlined
the course of the Oregon trail marked
out by Capt. John c. Fremont on his
western expedition in June, 1912. The
course began at Westport landing,
near the mouth of the Kaw river, on
June IL, and went southwest through
the town of Westport across Turkey
creek and joined the old Santa Fe
trail from Independence, 20 miles from
Westport landing.
According to the field notes of Cap
tain Fremont the party halted at noon
that day near the spot where Olathe,
Kas., now is. They left the Santa Fe
trail that same day, and the next day
they crossed the Kakarusa river near
Lawrence, continuing the course west
along the Kaw river. Lawrence, To
peka and other cities now lying along
the Kaw are features which have
come since the tour of Captain Ere
mont. None of them is noted on the
map. They crossed the Kaw near the
present site of Topeka, and struck out
north along the Little Blue river, and
struck the Platte river at Grand IS
land. The territory Is marked here
and there with regard to the Indian
tribes encountered. Pawnees, Sioux
and Snake Indians Inhabited the coun-
try they traversed. Notes along the
way to Captain Fremont tell posterity
that near Westport, elk and deer, the
only game, are very scarce.
The first herd of buffalo was sighted
by Fremont's party on June &c. 1865

The trail ended at Fort Walla Walla,

DARLINGTON BOOTH LEFT SALVATION
ARMY RATHER THAN QUIT AMERICA
Meeting of Brothers Short Time Ago After Estrangement of
Many Years Recalls Controversy of 1896, When Was De-
cded by the Authorities in London That BalIngton
...t Should Go to England.

1t was. realized as soon as Darlington
issued what might be termed an ulti-
matum that his loss to the movement
would be enormous. But his father
was immovable. He said he exacted
obedience from the lowly officers and
he could not exempt those in exalted
commands, even though they be his
own sons and daughters.
He was urged to compromise or do
something to save Darlington and his
brilliant and devoted wife to the move
ment. He was told that their seces-
sion would mean the complete over
throw of the Salvation Army in the
United States. But these gloomy pre-
dictions failed to move him. He in
sisted on obedience. He may be
wrong, his judgment may be defective,
but there was no middle course. Bal
lington was a soldier and he who
would command must be ready and
willing to obey.
The friends of the then commander
in the United States urged him to re-
sign and organize a new move
ment which would be democratic in

by Chauncey NJ Depew who was then
in the heyday of his popularity, petit
toned London to permit Ballington
Booth to retain his American com
mand. But General Booth, who was
supported by his cabinet, was OBJ
durate. He said the decision was not
the result of caprice, it was not hastily
arrived at and that it was irrevocable.
Bramwell Booth, who was then chief
of staff, communicated the decision of
his father to Senator Depew. In the
letter he assured Mr.. Depew of his and
his fathers appreciation of the SYM
pathy shown by Americans for the
cause, but he said no exception to an
imperative rule could be made in the
case of any member of the Booth fam
lily. They occupied the same relation
to the organization as the humblest
officer in it, Bramwell Booth said
From past experience, Ballington
Booth knew to attempt to change a de-
cision of his fathers when 1t was once
announced would be as difficult as to
obtain the revocation of a Median-Per-
sian decree The truth Is to have done
so would have been to create breach
equally as serious as the withdrawal
of his son. with his vast influence,
from the Salvation Army The rank
and Ale would look with extreme dis
favor on any measure that would make
any NJ ember of the Booth family the
object of privileged legislation" In
other words, worldwide discomfort and
distrnst may have followed a reconsid-
GRAFTON of the generals decision.
In the Salvation Army General
T,ooth sustained the relation to Bal
Ington of superior to subordinate
officeE, not that of father to son.
To have assumed any other position
would have been subversiye to disci-
pline and probably destructive to the
very fabric of the organization itself

its government. They said it could be
utilized as a recruiting station for the
churches. They insisted that the Unit
ed States needed such movement
and he was well qualified to lead 1t.
After much anxious thought he con-
scented and brought into being The
Volunteers of America"
For several weeks he searched for
appropriate name for this organiza-
ton. One day he shouted Eureka"
and said he would call it Gods Amer
lean Volunteers" But after some
thought he doubted the propriety of
appropriating or appearing to appro-
pirate the Diety for title, and decid-
ed to modify it by giving it the title
under which 1t was later incorporated.
1t was a gloomy time for the Saliva
ton Army in America. The property
of the organization was held in the
name of Ballington Booth, and even
the War Cry bore the legend;
"The War Cry and Official Gazette
of the Salvation Army. Ballington
Booth, proprietor" The Salvation Army
was not at that time incorporated
After his secession he relinquished his
title to the property and did all pos
sible to facilitate the transfer His
successor had the army incorporated
and its property so safeguarded that it
can never be alienated from the move
ment or used by some designing per-
son for his own advantage
But when Ballington retired from
the command it was feared by some
who did not understand his character
or appreciate his innate probity that
he would carry the property with him.
Not being corporate body, the Sal
walton Army's property was subject
to spoliation by a possibly unscrupul-
Gus leader. Although there have been
several splits in the United States, and
these splits occurred before 1t obtain

transfers his stock-in-trade to another
pitch. In this way he scores over
his Western brethren. who, should
customers fail, must possess their
souls in patience, and cannot go forth
in search of them.
Instead of a tariff naming separate
charges for haircut, shave, and sham
poo, the Chinese barber quotes an in
elusive rate. In Hankow the charge
of $50 cash, or about Sd. in English
money, is almost universal, so that If
our Chinese friends do not enjoy
Western privacy neither do they pay
Western prices.
Perhaps the smallness of the charge
is due to the fact that these al fresco
BARRIERS escape rent and rates, and
have no luxurious premises to keep
up. 1t is probable that the average
Englishman would cheerfully pay even
more than the usual sum rather than
undergo such an ordeal in the public
streets. These Chinaman is less self
conscious and thinks nothing of it.

LARGE EXODUS FROM BERLIN
Laboring Glass to Farms, Wealthy to
suburbs-PopuIation Rapidly
Decreasing.

Berlin.-The population of Berlin Is
decreasing, Not only are the laboring
classes moving out to the country to
find work, but the wealthy are forsak-
ing the city for more pretentious
homes in the nearby suburbs. Tbs
exodus has been so steady during the
past eight months that Berlin today
has over Al 900 less inhabitants than
1t had on March l.
The present year Is the only one to
show a decrease in population since
1873 For six years past the rate OF
increase has been comparatively slow,
but as recently as 1906 there was
gain of $4,000 in IL months. Now the
tide has turned the other way, and the
municipality is alarmed over the de-
parture of 10 millionaires, in the Ger
man sense, in the three months ended
June 80. The city's tax receipts are
correspondingly reduced.
The loss this year appears to be not
wholly due to the movement or the
people into into suburban towns, for
such prosperous neighbors as Char
lottenburg and Schoeneberg also show
small losses, and the gains in other al
jaeent municipalities are not large
enough to account for the removals
from the capital The demand for Ia
Dor in greater Berlin this year has
been very slack, and in spite OF the
emigration to fields where work can
be secured, the number of the I'M
employed is assuming alarming proper
tions. Even the building trades, which
normally employ many thousands, re-
port very limited activity

GIVES HUSBAND TO ANOTHER
United States Army Mans Wife Gets
Divorce So He Can Wed
Texas Girl.

Cleveland.-Mrs. Mignon Sharp
Cook gave up her husband and got a
divorce so that her husband, Lieut..
Gilbert r. Cook of the United States
army stationed in Texas, may marry
the girl he loves. Mr.. and Mrs. Cook
were married two years ago as the
elimination of a romance that began
at West Point.
Cook received his commission after
the marriage and was sent to Texas,
while his wife remained here with
her parents. A few months ago Cook
wrote letter telling his wife that he
had found girl in Texas whom he
loved more than his legal mate and
asked her to release him.
Mrs. Cook finally began suit for d.
vorce and received her decree. She
will receive SIS week alimony for a
year.
