IT SHE centenary of the Battle of New Orleans which
falls on January 8 of next year, will doubtless
be much celebrated especially by the admirers of
Andrew Jackson. 1t will be worth comnemorating.

But there is another Jacksonan centenary occurring

President, it was Horseshoe Bend that made him the
commander at New Orleans and gave him his immortal
soubriquet of "Od Hickory" 1t was the battle at
Tohopeka the Horseshoe Bend of the Tallapoosa that
made Jackson famous, and transformed him in day

vEsPER MUSICAL SERVICE.
Last for the Season at Park Church
 Had Large Attendance.

There was a large attendance at the vesper service at Park church on Sum- day afternoon when the last musical praise service of the year was given. MT. Learned's efforts to provide such excellent programmes for these ser- vices during the winter are much ap- preciated and many will regret their discontinuance for a season.
 The service Sunday was a fitting close to this winters programme of beautiful religious music and the knowledge that this would be taken from the orator1o St. Paul by Mendels- sohn caused people from all parts of the city who are interested in these masterpieces of the old musicians to avail themselves of the opportunity to attend.
 Miss Hield gave a good rendering of the alto solo But the Lord is Mindful of His Own- MT. Seamans was espe- cially fine in the bass solo O God Have Mercy. The tenor and bass duet Now We Are Ambassadors by MT. Learned and MT. Seamans. was another number that was greatly enjoyed. Two quar- tettes, Happy and Blest Are They and How Lovely Are the Messengers, were we'll given, and two organ selections by Miss Taft were sldlfuliy played in addition to her work in the oratorio

THE CHRISTIAN LIFE
 A DARING ADVENTURE, Rev. G. H. Strouse the Speaker at Y,
 M. C. A. Meeting.

Sunday afternoon at the Y. M. c. A. Rev. George H. Strouse of the First Baptist church addressed the mems and boys meeting held together. Speaking on the Hidden Treasure and the Pearl of Great Price. He empha- sized the fact that Christian life was a daring adventure and when Christ left his fathers home and came to this earth it was a daring thing. The heart of Christ warns up to the man who is willing to sacrifice for him. The man in the parable doubtless had other treasures but he was willing to part with them all in order to obtain the greatest of treasures and likewise the pearl of great price. The master has little use for the man who is always on the fence The speaker said he would rather be a pastor in a church one year and make something move than be a pastor twenty and do noth- ing. The Christian life is a strenuous one and demands all the grit that one possess; often 1t leads to hardships, but it pays in the end In other words to follow the leadership of the Christ, is indeed a mans job.
 The attendance was large and att tentive to the address. Waldo s. New bury presided at the piano.

YOU CANT BRUSH OR
 WASH OUT BANDRUfF
The Simplest and Quickest
 Way l. To Dissolve It.

The only sure way to get rid of dandruff is to dissolve it. then you destroy it entirely. To do this, ger about four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retir- ing: use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the finger tips.
 Do this tonight, and by morning most if not all of your dandrun will be gone, and three or four more ap- plications will completely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dan druff you may have.
 You will find. too, that all itching and digging of the scalp will stop at once. and your hair win be fiuffy, ius- trous, glossy, silky and soft. and look and feel a hundred times better.
 If you want to preserve your hair, do by all means get rid of dandruf. for nothing destroys the hair more quickly. It not only starves the hair and makes it fall out. but it makes it stringy, straggiy, dull. dry. brittle and lifeless. and everyone notices it. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store It Is inexpensive and never fails to do the work.

In Central Baptist Pastorate-spseiaI

Sunday marked the beginning of the second year of the pastorate of Rev. Dr. Joel B. Slocum at the Gen. tra1 Baptist church and in recognition of that fact the day was made an everybody -at-church Sunday for the congregation. At all the services of the day the attendance was unusually large.
 . Special floral decorations of lilies and white hydrangeas were arranged on the pulpit and a chorus choir of eighteen young people sang with the quartette. At the morning service Rev. Dr. Slocum spoke briefly in ap- preciation of the recognition of the anniversary shown in the flowers and other plans of the day. His inspiring sermon was upon the theme Bread Tor the Worlds Hunger.
 Four new members were given the right hand of fellowship into the church, one of them being man through whom a mission work among Italians is to be taken up.
 At the evening service, Shetucl1et lodge of Odd Fellows, to which the pastor belongs. attended the service In body, accompanied by members of Uncas lodge and some of the mem bers of Hope Rebekah lodge. There were between 100 and 150 of the odd Fellows who had seats in the body of the church.

eop AND couNTRY.
Served With Equal Loyalty by the Consistent Catholic, Rev. J. H. srod- : erick Tells Conqreqation.

Yesterday was quarterly communion Sunday for Young Ladies' Sodality and the Immaculate Conception Sodality of St. Patrick's parish and about 160 mem bers received holy communion in a body at the 7.S0 o'clock mass from the Rev. J. H. Frederick. Because of the large number of general communi- cants the assistance of Rev. Myles F, Calvin was required.
 Preaching from the epistle for the Sunday, the third after Easter, I. Peter II, 11-19. Rev. Father Broderick chose as his text, Fear God; Honor the King. He explained how this ad- monition of St. Peter summarizes the duty of the citizen. The fear of God, the Scripture says. is the begin ming of wisdom The man who fears God will acquire that wisdom which sees in government divinely institut- ed authority, to which he will show loyalty, even to the sacrifice of his life.
 The same epistle enioirs:
 Let your conversation be good among the Genttles; that whereas they speak against you as evil-doers, they may by the good works which they shall behold in you, giorify God.
 Latter-day Gentiles, the preacher said are prone to al1ege that consist ent Catholic cannot fear God, obey his church and be loyal to his country but this charge, which has been refut- ed in every crisis from Lexington tc Vera Cruz, is apt to be made chiefly by those Gentiles who are inyincible ir peace. but invisible in war.

Norwich lodge of Elks, No. 430. took steps on Sunday afternoon towards the erection of the long contemplated ad- ditien to their home by voting to have a committee proceed to procure bids on the plans which were favored at this special meeting called to consider the matter.
 The plans for which the vote of the meeting was cast contemplate three story addition on the rear of the pres ent building, costing, according to rough estimates, S40,0oO The selec- ton of this plan was made from one of three diffe: trent plans drawn and ranging from $24.000 to $60.oe0 in es- timated cost.
 Building Committee.
 Exalted Ruler William w. Beckwith presided at the meeteing and, in ac- cordance with the motion made, named the following building committee to Nelson J. Ayling. O. E. Wulf J. w. Gladden., Andrew Connor. George w. Carroll, John A. Brady and J. D. Lucy.
 Entrance on Park Street.
 The general dimensions of the addi- ton would be 103 feet long by 70 feet in width. this length making it extend at both ends beyond the present build would be a regular main entrance, leading to the large assembly hall which is the feature of the plan on the second floor of the addition.
 Basement Floor.
 Excavation at the level of the pres ent rathskellar would provide for the basement floor of the building in which would be located a pool and billiard room, 34x42, at the westerly and front end of that floor. A serving room and kitchen, 1Sx57 is east of this, and back of the serving room is a hall

FIVE NEW POLICE
 SIGNAL BOXES IN USE
Enable Men to Report in From Sec tions Hitherto Unprovided with Boxes.

The five new police signal boxes went into service for the first time on Sunday evening. John H. Carney who has been in charge of the work of putting them in completed the wir- ing some time ago and the boxes were all put up and connected on Sunday to the board of police headquarters, giving nine signal boxes now in the police system.
 The five new boxes are located as follows: On North Main street oppo- site the electric light station; on Main street just across the Preston bridge near the watering trough at the Frank lin street park. on Washington square and on Thames street at the Richmond Radiator company.
 It was expected by the police com missioners that they would be similar to the old ones in use and they are except in one particular. They have no signal light which can be flashed upon the pole to call an officer when he is wanted by police headquarters It was found that boxes with the sig nal drop like the old ones were nc longer manufactured. although fn- quiries for them were sent to many dealers in all parts of the country.
 The officers on the beats will report in from the boxes to headquarters ev- cry time their rounds on their beats bring them to a box so that they will be in touch with police headquar- ters much better than they ever have been before
