Rev. DR.. ]. S. Sims, pastor of the
Paris Methodist, preached his con-
GLIDING sermon Sunday morning al
l0:45 o'clock, before departing for the
Kentucky Conference which convenes
at Wilmore, on September 2.
At the Annual Conference in 1911
which was in session at Richmond with
Bishop w. A. Gambler, presiding, Rev.
Sims was assigned to the Paris charge,
and this marks the closing of the third
successive year as pastor of the Paris
congregation during which time the
church has experienced a steady
growth. All departments of church
work have taken on new life and have
reached high state of efficiency during
his pastorate.
He has made host of friends since
his coming to Paris, and has greatly
endeared himself to his congregation
and to the people of Bourbon in
general, with his simple yet eloquent
sermons, and splendid Christian ex.
ample, which he emphasizes hy
daily practices. In his large circle OF
acquaintance there is none but wha,
values his friendship and have the
highest regard for his religious views.
Bishop j. G. Kilgo will be the pre-.
siding bishop at the conference this
year and it is earnestly hoped by the
Paris congregation that their popular
pastor will again be appointed to this
charge which will be the maximum
length of time for Methodist preacher
to stay at one church.
There will be no other service at the
Methodist church Sunday except Sun
day School at $50 o'clock. A large
attendance is requested to be present
at this service.

Frenchman Learns Fate Of Father,
Who Has Been Missing Forty
four Years.

Munich.-The Neueste Nachrichten
gives the following account Of the
discovery of the fate of Frenchman,
missing A years:
I'm the German prison camp at
Lechfeld there died French soldier,
and a deputation of French prisoners
was permitted to attend the funeral.
"As these were led through the
graveyard on their return from the
burial one of them suddenly threw
himself upon a simple gravestone, cry
ing out, 1t is my fathers grave-it is
my father's!'"
He had in passing read upon the
stone the name of his father, who had
died while a prisoner of war in 1871,
and had been buried in this place.
Permission was granted to the son
to remain awhile at his fathers grave
and also to report by letter to his
mother in France that at last he had
information regarding his father, who
had been missing for A years.

PRESERVES THE Gown
EVENING DRESS HANGER ALSO A
DAINTY TRIFLE.
Work May Easily Be Done at Home
by Anyone Who 10 at All Handy
in Use of the
Needle.

The evening dress hanger is very
dainty affair. and is bit Of work that
can be made entirely at home by any
enc who is handy with the needle.
The frame is strong piece OF wire
bent into a heart shape, ending with
hook at the top, but before bending
it into shape it must be covered. From
the hook to the point of the heart
should be about twelve inches. Four
feet of wire will make the heart, ex-
elusive OF the hook, which should be of
tie wire twisted, seeing thin wire is
used. The covering is of inch-wide pink
satin ribbon, two lengths being placed
back to back and sewed through twice
It's entire length to make a casing
through which the wire is run. Five
yards of ribbon will be necessary, as it
is fulled over the wire, which creates
littl frills on either edge.
II wider frills are desired use a
wider ribbon. The hook is just twisted
with the :bbon and bow of wider rib
bon is sewed at its base, from which
depend strands of pink baby ribbon
supporting tiny scent sachets, writes
Helen Howe in the Boston Globe. The
advantage of this improved holder
compared with the wooden frame is its
lightness. The shoulders do not slip
from the hanger; sleeves can be
pinned to the ribbon cover should they
be of heavy beads; also the dress can
be pinned at the belt to the point Of
the heart should 1t be necessary. Some
times a heavy sash or ornament will
drag a gown when hung upon the ordi-
nary holder.
Speaking Of the ordinary holder,
see changes there, too, and, inmy opin-
ion, for the better. Tapestry is used
for the covering after padding instead
of the daintier ribbons, which quickly
soil and look badly. A hanger, COW

Washington. - Grave controversies
between nations OF South America
and the belligerent countries of Eu-
rope led on Wednesday to the calling
OF a conference for Tuesday Of the
Governing Board of the Pan-American
Union.
Before this board, which consists OF
the diplomatic representatives here
of 20 American republics, with Secrc-
tary of State Bryan as chairman ex-
officio, comes the suggestions which
have been made by Argentine, Chile.
Peru, Uruguay and Ecuador for a
stronger assertion of the rights of
neutrals and the exclusion of belliger-
emit warships from the waters of the
Americas.
Fear is expressed by the Chilean of.
fcials that Germany's alleged violation
of the neutrality of Chile may influ-
ence the other belligerents to disre-
gard the territorial jurisdiction OF
Chile and perhaps cause them to send
their warships within the three-mile
limit to stop German operations.
The Chilean government urged that
whatever steps are taken should have
the earnest and united support of all
the American republics.
Although this controversy is being
adjusted, the situation in Chile is con.
sidered grave.

PERFECT TWO NEW WEAPONS
Germany Has 27-MiIe Gun and Dirigi-

Is Expected.

Berlin.-Two weapons have been
perfected by the Germans that are ex-
pected to be decisive factors in deter
mining the issue of the present war,
both on land and sea. One is new
howitzer which is declared to have a
range of q miles, being far superior
to the greatest guns possessed by 9TH
er nations. The other is a dirigible
floating mine, whose movements 20
miles from shore can be directed by
electricity.
The secret of the construction of
these destructive weapons has been
closely guarded and the fact that it
has become known at the present time
indicates that both are being used or
