SELF-ABNEGATION HIS THEME.
Evangelist r. r. Cook Addresses
Washington Temple Congregation.

The real Christian OF to-day is the in
dividual who bears a cross made by
the crossing OF the life of self by the
will OF the Creator
This was the answer given by Evan
Selist +. F. Cook, of Detroit to the
question what Is a Christian in his
discourse before the Washington Temple
Congregation in New Masonic Temple
yesterday afternoon.
At all times in these days OF modern
life. the evangelist declared, the man
or woman who would live up to the
teachings OF the Christian life must ever
be on the alert to keep the life OF
SELF crossed and surmounted by the
will Of the CREATOR"
This same life OF self. he pointed out, is
the reason for all the trouble which
frail humanity falls heir to and which
the Apostle Peter had such a struggle
during the days OF the early church
to overcome.

Victory of Free Women.

Little wonder that she called the Bal
kan victory a victory OF the freewomen
or the semi-rreewomen of the Balkan
states over Turkeys harem slaves" IL
Turkish women years and years ago had
slipped out of their ridiculous fetters per-
haps Turkish men might not have been
defeated at every turn. in spite of their
greater numbers over the Balkan forces.
And Mrs Zangwill came nearer home
than that.
She said that long ago the Pilgrim
fathers alone might have won out in
America, but she very much doubted
whether they would have colonized it
And she added: Had these women been
mere slaves dragged at the heels OF their
masters. the New England that We know
would never have arisen.

full pictures of these resourceful, work

Took No Part.

And all the while Turkish women were
so strictly confined TO their sphere that
except in rare instances, they took no
part in the war. They have TOO long
been accustomed to peep out oil pretty
prison houses and TO hide behind useless
wells to be able to step out ana De OF

Mrs. ZangwiIl told that she was once
CT a steamer that stopped at Moroc-
can port where she saw a resplendent
Mohammedan maSnate come on board
accompanied by a huge packing case.
She idly wondered what sort of fine pos

Balkan Women in War.

And in proof that this not fantastical
explanation. she pointed to the part
played by the Balkan women in the war.
While the men were at the front. she
said, the women in their native towns
and villages were doing most OF the
work usually performed by men. They
were carrying provisions and ammuni-
ton for the forces. giving first aid to
the wounded, nursing. sewing, Washing
for the soldiers and everywhere showing
magnificent devotion TO their country and
their men.
The Montencgrins have no army ser
vice corps, and all the transport work
has been done by the women. for 1t Is
the women who form the real COM
missariat department OF the army. These
women are accustomed to carry heavy
burdens even in times OF peace, ana
stirred on by the knowledge that their
husbands and brothers were at the front
and that theirs was the part of supply
ing food, they sturdily pushed along. lf
sometimes they were hit by shrapnel and
fell out Of line, that was part OF the
price they raid. and not so much IN
excess TO the price paid by women whose
work was silent watching. waiting ana
performing all sorts Of service at home.

Whv the Balkan States Won.
Nv FRANCES sHAFFER.
BY FRANCES sHAFFER.

In a recent address delivered in Lon
don, Mrs. Israel Zangwill took novel
and quite interesting viewpoint OF 'he
Balkan war.
She declared that the victory oil the
Balkan states over the outnumoerins
Turkish forces was not so much
triumph of Christianity over Moham-
mechanism as the Christian position OF
woman over the Mohammedan position
Of woman. In Turkey, she said, where
the Old-fashioned method OF calculation
still holds good. a man and his two or
three wives count for one. But in the
Balkan states, while n man and MS
wife do not quite measure up to two as
in fully civilized country. at least they
are one and a goodly fraction. And SO,
according to her figuring. each married
man in the Balkan army counts more or
less as two while the much-marrled
man in the Turkish army is one all the
time, and never more, no matter now
many his wives.

Only a Narrow Gap Of Ten

From Americus towards Columbus, a
large working force is now busily Ell
gagged laying new steel rail of the heav
lest type on the Americus-CoiLmbus d.
vision of the Central railway, while
another working gang, sent out from
that city, is working this way. The
Columbus force has passed Doyle, for
ty miles east of Columbus, while the
Americus gang is within few miles
OF Doyle, village in Marion county.
The distance from Americus to Column
bus is nearly seventy miles. Sixty
miles of eighty-pound steel rail has
been laid already, and a gap of only
ten miles, between Doyle and Ameri-
Gus, remains to be finished-the work
of, probably, thirty days.
This improvement of the Central's
Americus-C Columbus division will make
it one of the best of the entire Central

OFFICERS SEEK
MURDERERS OF
negro WOMAN
THREE ARRESTS ARE MADE
Body Dug Up and Again Ex-
aniRed

There were further developments
yesterday in the case of the negro wo-
man whose dead body was found in
Flint river, near Americus, three days
ago, and Sumter county officials are
making every effort to the end of un-
raveling the thread Of mystery sur
rounding the affair, and bringing to
justice the perpetrators Of the foul
deed.
Two arrests were made yesterday,
and the suspected parties, both ne
groes, are now in jail
Yesterday morning Coroner jenkins
decided to exhume the body of the
young woman and make more thol-
ough investigation. This action was
based upon reports reaching him since
the inquest on Monday. Sheriff Fuller,
Deputy Sheriff Harvey and City Court
Solicitor 2 S Childers attended the in
vestigation yesterday.
The nature of the evidence adduced
was not given out by the officers, but
the arrest of two negroes living near
the scene of the crime followed. They
were brought to Americus and lodged
in Jail.
A negro fishing yesterday near the
place where the body of the unknown
woman was found in Flint river, saw a
suit case sunken in the creek. He re-
ported the matter and the suit case.
heavily weighted with rocks, was
drawn to the surface. 1t contained two
handsome silk dresses and other bits
of feminine apparel
It is believed that the suit case was
the property of the murdered woman
and was hidden in the stream by her
slayers, just as her body was sent
with iron weights to the bottom of
Flint river.
