News comes from Fargo that the
young Parker boy, who disappeared
last winter "a. mysteriously Is dead.
His body was found on the banks of
the Red river about three miles be-
low Fargo late Yesterday afternoon.
He is fully identified.
Great mystery surrounded the dis
appearance last January Of the Parker
lad. Two theories were advanced by
the police at the time he dropped
completely out Of sight. One was
that his father had kidnapped him and
taken him to Canada. The father
was traced to Canada. but there dis
appeared. The other theory was that
the had had fallen into an air hole
in the river anr drowned. The latter
theory evidently proved the correct
one.

FIVE zones and each Of these zones is
divided into blocks containing $500
square miles. Each block is divided into
subbiocks 70 fix rates between points
wholly within block. Subblock rates
will apply between Washington and
Baltimore, and between Washington and
other nearby cities and towns.
II is fully expected that the express
companies will attempt to block the new
rates through legal proceedings attack
ing the validity and constitutionality OF
the commissions decisions.
The new rates will cut present ex-
press revenues by fully s26 100000. or ap-
proXimately l6 per cent, ii is estimated.
Parcel post rates, present rates. vol
ume OF trafflc, or other existing condi-
ton was not taken into consideration
By the commission in fixing the new
rates. Each rate was determined solely
on what was considered a reasonable
rate between two points.
Though no move has yet been made
in this direction, and no official state
meTt will be made, IL is generally un-
derstood at the commission that the new
system of rate making, doing away with
basing points. traffic volume and other
considerations that brought about the
present maize of rates, will be brought
into vogue in the freight business OF
the railroads.
The rates as made in today's decision
are practically the same as those found
by former Chairman Franklin Lane, Of
the commission. who Is now Secretary OF
the Interior.

WASHINGTON PRIEST
HONORED BY POPE
Rev. Eugene A. Hannah Gets
Privilege Of Bestowing
Papal Benediction.

Announcement that Pope Plus Y,
through the medium Of the Right Rev.
Charles Warren Currier. had bestowed
on the Rev. Eugene A. Hannah. of
Washington. the privilege OF bestowing
the papal benediction was made yester-
day at St Martins Church. of which
the Rev. Father Hannah is rector.
The signal honor thus bestowed on the
local rector is one that is usually re-
served for missionary priests. whose
work has been unusually far-reaching
In this case 1t is believed that Father
Hannan's work in Bloomingdale, where
he established the Church of st. Martin
of Tours about ten years ago, as well
as the work he did while with St An
thongs and ST. Paul's churches. in this
city, had much to do with his recogni-
ton by the sovereign pontif.
New Church Completed Soon.
A new church for st. Martins is now
in course Of construction, and will be
completed some time this fan II is
probable that the Rev. Father Hannah
will first exercise his new privilege at
the ceremonies attendant on the opening
of the new building

truth and to be able to differentiate be-
tween IT and evil Is given to the Chris
tian only after deep study and COM

Among the Churches.
METHODIST CHURCH.

Last Sunday was a beautiful day to serve God. Our Sunday School was we'll attended, and the officers and teachers were in their places, and much good and happy work was done. There is no department of church work that is of more importance than the Sunday School work. In this work, the teacher who prop erly feels the grave responsibili- ties that are upon them and come to their classes from their knees to so present Gods truths as to lead their scholars to a saving knowledge of Christ, have saved a soul from death and hidden a multitude of sins.
 We are told by competent sta- ,titisticians that 85 per cent of the conversions and accessions to our churches come from our Sun- day schools. So the work must be an important one For The tree is known by its fruits. "
 God was with us in great bless ings at both services last Sun- day At night Bro. Anderson preached a great sermon from the text: The Kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness. and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. "
 The choir did most excellent work. Their songs were anoint- ed with the sweetest graces of the Lord.
 Next Sunday we have the ser vices at the regular hours. and we begin promptly on time. The Sunday school is at 9;45 a. m. and preaching at II a. m. and at ' D. m. Don't forget the time.
