RulI Moose Advertising Not Paid

Bull Moose Advertising MOI fald.
Ever since the election we have been
trying to collect bill from JAS. R. Bald
win of Baltimore, treasurer of the Pro-
gressive Party, for Bull Moose Campaign
Advertising. The bill yet remains I'M
paid, and we learn ours is not the only
one. The following article is taken from
the Taneytown Carol Record of last
week:
Many of our county papers accepted
Bull Moose" advertising during the past
campaign. 1t was offered to the Record,
but was deci ned. Now it appears, from
the following clipping from last week S
Chestertown Enterprise, that there must
be something wrong with the bank. >"
Was all the cash assigned to Maryland
concentrated in Baltimore to produce
that big city vote? The Enterprise says:
SIS the Bull Moose party in Maryland
financially bankrupt? This, at least, is
the natural and fair inference IN view Of
the fact that advertising accounts incur
red during the presidential campaign, ac-
ceepted in good faith by the county press
upon the order of the national commit
teeman, the ostensble head of the party
in the state, remain unpaid. And, furth-
ermore. all statements and requests for
payment are utterly ignored, without the
usual business courtesy of reply to COM
munications, indicating that not only is
the party embarrassed financially but
that its affairs are in the hands Of incom-
petent and unreliable managers.

what order is that marching along

piled, none | reckon Seems to
be some kind of an order there, " in
sisted the parson.
The procession moved along, reach
ed the cemetery and when the hrarse
stopped near the open grave, the es-
cort marched up, lined up in open
order, took off their hats, held them
in Just the G. A. R. regulation style
across the left breast. Just then
Superintendent Gossard OF the Gem
etcry came first plotting the pail

situation at once, and said, boys,

woman they are burying. i" Then

FORD'S GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Week Jan. Goth, the greatest dramatic
novelty of the decade; American com
pany. Harris and Selwyn will prest mt
THE YELLOW JACKET.
What may be termed without exagger-
alton an exceptional theatrical novelty
will be presented at Ford's the week be-
ginning Monday, Jan. 20, when Messrs.
Harris and Selwyn will offer "The yell
low Jacket" The piece comes direct
from its engagement at the Fulton Thea
tire, New York, where the critics no less
than the public acclaimed it the most I'M
usual play ever seen upon the stage.
"rhe Yellow Jacket" is an adaptation
of Chinese play by Geo. Hazelton and
Harry Benrimo, presented in the exact
manner used by the Chinese players
stage of the old Jackson Street Theatre
in San Francisco, place familiar for
many years to the residents or visitors
to the City by the Golden Gate.
The story of 1.-THE Yellow Jacket has
to do with court life in China. 1t begins
with the infancy of the hero, when his
father at the behest of a favorite wife
seeks to have the child put out of the
way. 1t is written of the Fates that this
boy shall become one of the great men
of the Empire and achieve the greatest
distinction known in China, the badge of
the Yellow Jacket. This story is told in
eighty-seven scenes, divided into three
sections. In order to make the action
and intent of the players clear chorus,
after the fashion of the old Greek drama,
tells what is passing on the stage.
The company which Messrs Harris and
Selwyn sends here is the same seen in
New York. The costuming is most elab
crate and exact in every detail.

George r. Apsley, pastor of the Sew
enth Day Adventist church in this town,
has just received word from the General
Conference, the headquarters of the de-
nomination, in Washington, D. c., that
$l2, 500 has been gwen through the re-
cent special donation for the building Of
homes for missionaries in China. The
Sabbath School Department, which sent
out call for the donation, had hoped to
collect enough to construct nine homes
for the workers in the new Republic of
Asia, and not only will those be built,
but three additional ones.
This money was given In voluntary
contributions by members of the Sabbath
Schools throughout the denomination in
the United States and Canada on a par
ticular day set apart for that occasion,
and the sum has been forwarded to China
where the homes will be put under way
the early part of the new year.
The Tiurmont Sabbath School, not
withstanding the fact that it has men,
bership of only Is, contributed 1892 to-
wards the fund. In speaking of the CIV
ing of free-wil offerings for the further
ance of the gospel in foreign lands, Elder
Geo. K. Apsley said that he was also
notified from headquarters that if the
contributions from the Sabbath Schools
alone for the last quarter of last year
measure up to the contributions for each
of the first three quarters, the total
amount will exceed $500, 900. All of this
money will go towards the spreading of
the gospel in other countries. The APP
preparations for gospel endeavor in foreign
lands during 1913, he said, have reached
over half-million dollars.
1t was also said that the denomination
has force of $50 missionaries in foreign
lands and 974 native helpers. 1t has a
force of 60 workers in China, and these
are teaching Christianity in ten provinces.
1t has total of about 1900 adherents,
1872 being added last year.
The next special offering through the
Sabbath Schools was taken on December
%. The money donated will be used for
the needs of the training schools for mis-
sionary workers at Camarero, Argentina
and at Pua, Chile. The leaders hope to
raise $4,000, and all over this amount
will be devoted to the general missionary
work of the South America Union Con-
ference among the Spanish and Indian
missions.
The Adventists are endeavoring to
spread the gospel throughout South
America as well as every other country
on the globe in this generation, as they
believe that Christ will return to the
earth after the heralding of his return
has been carried to every nation, kindred
and tongue.
