Daughter Of General Booth,
Great salvation Leader.
ASSISTED BY HER DAUeHTER
In Europe She's KNOWN rs
ssThe Marcchale.s
Win Begin Series Of Lectures
Here December 6.

Announcement was made today by
Dr. BENJAMIN Young. pastor Of the
First Methodist church OF this city.
that Mrs. Catherine Booth Clibborn,
known as The MARKETABLE" OF Paris.
France will begin series Of evangelis-
tic lectures at the First Methodist
church Sunday. December s. She will
be assisted in the lectures by her
daughter. Miss Victoria Booth Clibborn.
The MARKETABLE is the eldest daugh-
ter Of the late General Booth. the man
who made the Salvation army the
greatest religious organization in the
world. Formerly the leader of the Sal
walton army on the continent, she is
now engaged in special evangelistic
work. She is pronounced by Miss Fran
ces E. Willard, to be the most remark
able woman preacher Of the country.
She is the subject Of Baron Ceder-
strom's famous picture. 1.-THE Mare
chale in the Cafe The picture is now
in the Gallery of Stockholm.
The Methodist churches of the city
will cooperate In the evangelistic CAM
paign which Mrs. Booth-Clibborn will
lead In this city.
The career of Mrs. Booth-Clibborn is
probably as brilliant as that Of her
father in church work. It is said that
she inherited her fathers gift for lead
ership and her mothers power to move
audiences.
She has preached and had charge of
missionary work in practically all the
large cities of Europe, including Havre.
Mines. Bordeaux, Brussels and Liege.
In Switzerland she was imprisoned for
fighting the cause Of religious liberty
but won her freedom
Mrs. Booth-Clibborn has also led
evangelistic campaigns in many cities
OF America. At all places she appeared
her work was successful and won much
favorable comment from the press.
Her evangelistic campaigns are not
made in connection with the Salvation
army. For the Salvationists. however.
she speaks the highest praise. Churches
in Detroit and Kansas City in which
she appeared were crowded and mary
were turned away because of insult
ficient room.
Mrs. Booth Clibborns biography was
written recently by James Strahan, a
well known author.
The MARKETABLE will have a message
worth while for Topeka people, said
DR.. BENJAMIN Young.

perhaps exceeding the greatest crop
heretofore grown was indicated to-
day in the census bureaus fifth gin

ed the quantity Of cotton ganned prior
to November a.. was II, 624,7O8 bales.
the largest on record. s
In the past seven years the amount
ginned to the end of this period was
Is per cent. On this basis the present
crop would seem to be between 49,
100000 and 100000 bales. The
ginning for the period from November
1 to IA established a record of 1,795.-
626 bales exceeding last year by 1872
900 bales and 1911 by $4,000 bales.
For the season this years ginning ex-
ceeded the record by 81, 900 bales. In

Rate increase Sustained.

Washington, Nov. 21.-An increase
in the freight rates on blackstrap mo-
lasses, in carloads. from points In
Louisiana to destinations in Missouri,
Nebraska, Kansas and Iowa, averaging
about three cents a hundred pounds,
today was held by the interstate COM
MERGE commission to be reasonable.
The advanced rates are the same
which govern the transportation of all
other grades of molasses from the
same points OF origin to the same des-
tinatiOns. In accordance with the
conclusions of the commission the
suspension of the increased rates was
vacated and the new rates will become
effective on December 1.
