ALLPARIS WENT
TO CHURCH
SUNDAY.
SUND'Y SCHOOL, TOO,
Largest Sunday School Attendance
AT First Baptist Church In 20
Years; Large at Others.
SPECIAL SERMONS DELIVERED

There was a marked increase
in attendance at the several Paris
churches last Sunday, at Sunday
school and preaching. This ex-
ira large attendance was due to
the splendid work done by the
committees from all Of the
churches of the city last week.
1t was truly '.Go-to-church Sum
day" in Paris.
There We're 230 attended Sum-
day school at the First Baptist
church, and large audiences at
both the morning and evening
services. DR.. T. P. Hale, finan-
cial agent of the Louisville Sem
mary, occupied the morning
hour, his subject being 'The I'M
profitable Servant. The pastor.
DR.. w. H. Ryals, conducted the
evening service. His subject
was, ''The Better Life" or
''Purer Life" DR.. Ryals also
spoke of the appreciable work
done by the cooperative COM
lmittee the apast week, and exA
tended a gracious welcome to all
strangers and those who had not
attended church for some time.
FIRST METHODIST.
Holy Communion was observ-
ed at the First Methodist Church
Sunday by an unusually large
number. Pastor C. A. Waterfieh
preached on church going, sub
ject Jesus Going To The Syna-
gogue. There were 345 pres
ent at Sunday school. Many
aged people were present at the
morning service. The attendance
| at the evening service was large
and the pastor gave review OF
the South mobilizing for SER
vice.
CHRISTIAN.
There was a full attendance at
the Christian Church for both
services Sunday. The pastors
subject for the morning hour
was, "The Faith Once Deliver
ed" There was a full atten-
dance at Sunday school. In fact
all the services of this live con-
gregation just about take the
seating capacity of the building.
Hence the necessity for a more
commodious building, which they
will have in the near future.
PRESBYTERIAN. -
Rev. JesseCorum preached for
the Presbyterian congregation at
the court house at IL o'clock last
Sunday. The attendance was
about double the usual number.
the choir was complete and the
service was interesting and prof
liable. There was also increas-
ed attendance at the Sunday
school. Several from Bethesda
church heard Rev. Corum and a
number of nom church goers were
in the congregation.
1t has been conservatively esti-
mated that nearly fifteen hum
dred attended church and Sunday
school in Paris last Sunday.

NEWIICE co. TO
BUILD PLANT
AT ONCE.
WORK TO BE PUSHED
Proposition From Paris Coal & ice
Company Rejected By Official
Board Of New Company.
COMMITTEES ARE APPOINTED

At a call of former President,
Chas. P. Hudson, the official
board of the Peoples Coal & Ice
Company convened in the direc-
tors room of the Commercial
Bank (by invitation Of Mr.. Hud-
SOM Friday evening, Jan. Both,
to receive and act upon the be-
lated report of a committee
which had been honored by said
company with authority to re-
ceive and report upon a propo-
sition from the Paris Coal & Ice
Company looking to the sale of
their plant to the new company,
it having been rumored that they
were desirous of making a prop
osition to sell to the new COM
pany.
The meeting was called to or
der by President Hudson and the
report of committee read, the
same setting forth that the en-
tire property and business of the
Paris Coal & Ice Company could
be purchased by the Peoples
Coal & Ice Company for the sum
of $34, 100000, SIP, 100000 to 60 to
ex-Captain John W. Travis for
his interest, and $11, 100000 each
to Messrs. E. T. Ewing and Jas.
T. Porter, the latter two to have
the option Of taking $8,00O.0O
stock each in the company, a
procedure which would require,
as suggested, the recapitalization
of the Peoples Coal & ice Co. at
$40. 100000, or just double what
the stockholders were given to
understand in the beginning was
necessary.
The acceptance of such prop
osition would of course have been
suicidal to the interests of the
new company. and was so pre-
posterous that it came before the
meeting without a recommenda.
ton, being promptly voted down.
The question of new business
being raised, it was suggested
that committees be appointed al
once to secure suitable property,
obtain bids on building ano
equipment and to collect sub.
scriptions.
The following committees were
nominated, voted upon and duly
elected:
Committee on building site
Gen. ]. w. Lewis, Joseph Vein
baum and H. L. Bruce.
Committee on building, ma
chinery and equipment-Dr. G.
A. Love, Mr.. ]. M. Dean and
j. A. Crosswy.
To collect subscription = Mr..
Curd Harris. The bond Of Mr..
Harris was fixed at $40, ,000.0 0C
and has since been signed by the
following gentlemen: Joseph

4 Lewis, Ben Thompson, JAS. M.
Freeman, L, Cherry, w. T.
Young, Ed. w. james, Jones
Bros, Ed. M. Russell, Sam A.
Miller and J. A. Crosswy.
Before the meeting adjourned,
Mr.. Hudson rendered his resig.

reason that his many other du
ties would prevent his giving the
time to this office that was nee

FACTS ABOUT HUNGARY-AUsTRIA

Austria-Hungary, toward which the
eyes of the world are now turned be-
cause of the recent assassination of
Archduke Francis Ferdinand, heir to
the throne of the dual monarchy, and
his consort, the duchess of Hohenberg,
is a land of strange contrast, accord
ing to a statement issued by the Ma
tional Geographic society at Washing
ton. d. c.
'In spite of its important position,
both geographically and politically.
but few people realize exactly what
they mean when they speak of Austria
Hungary, and to many the words Aus
tria and Hungary seem Interchange
able terms for the same country" reads
the statement. What, then, is Aus
tria. what is Hungary, and why are
they always bracketed together?
THE Austrian empire is a constitu-
tional monarchy formed of three king
doms, Bohemia, Galicia and Dalmatia,
two archduchies, Upper and Lower
Austria, and a collection of duchies,
countships and margraves of princely
rank: all of them united in the person
of the Emperor Francis Joseph. The
adjacent and entirely independent
kingdom of Hungary. in addition to
Hungary proper, includes Croatia,
Slavonia and Pennsylvania, countries
formerly independent, but now,
through intermarriage, conquest and
inheritance, all possessions of the
Apostolic King of Hungary, who hap
pens by a purely historic chance to
be also sovereign of the empire of
Austria. The possession of a unifying
link in the person of their common
ruler has led to the Auslegleich. or
compromise whereby the two coun-
tries, for mutual convenience, have
agreed to join forces in maintaining
joint diplomatic and naval and mill
tary services. Beyond this the two
countries are entirely Independent.
each having its own constitution, legis-
lature and administration.
mo country in Europe, except only
Hungary, contains within its borders
so many diverse nations and tongues
as the Austrian empire. Each of the
three great ethnic streaks of Europe
is represented-the Latin, the German
and the Slav, with the latter FREEDOM

mating. as to it belong Is out of the
&c million people inhabiting the EN-
pire. The Hungarian, or more prop
erly, the Magyar. is perhaps the keen
est patriot in Europe, and he manifests
his enthusiasm by seeking to impose
his language and customs upon his
Slavonic fellow-citiaens with a persis-
tence that neither opposition nor pas
sive resistance can dimish.
I'm these lands, SO mixed in nation
ality and language. there is no less a
variety OF religions; Roman catholics
predominant, but Greek orthodox, Un-
lat Greeks, Lutherans, Calvinists, Jews
and even Armenian Gregorians, are
found within their borders. The Gus
toms-union between Austria and Hun
gary has rendered these countries a
comL, ercial unit; but, roughly speak
ing, Hungary is the agricultural and
pastoral country, while Austria is in
dustrial. Hungary is also the richest
country in Europe in mineral deposits,
the range of which is singularly wide.
Austria is, after Switzerland, the most
mountainous region in Europe, more
than four-fifths of her vast territory
being over 600 feet above sea level.
Mountain climbing is the great nation
al game, like baseball in the United
States. Old, young, middleaged, all
take keen interest in it. Even EN-
peror Francis Joseph is an enthus-
iastic mountaineer at more than so
years of age. In his time he has
scaled most of the great peaks of his
country.
Vienna, the imperial city, the CAPT.
tai of Austria, owns her own electric
and gas light, street railways and ON
nibuses, ice manufacturing plant, ware
houses, stock yards, brewery, wine eel
lar. all the pawnshops and even the
undertaking establishments. Budapest
the capital of Hungary, formerly two
cities, Buda and Pest, is Paris, Vienna
and London in one, a combination of
the gayeties of the capitals of the
world. with little distinctive Hungar-
ian paprika spice thrown in.
Even in the remotest corners of
Austria-Hungary the strong arm of
the law is ever present, the river
stretches and the back country being
policed by heavily armed constab-
ulary."

WILSON AND BUSINESS.

There is no evidence that the presi-
dent has changed his attitude toward
business, as is the gleeful assertion of
some Of his political opponent. It is
business that has changed its attitude
toward the president, says the New
York World.
Mr.. Wilson's attitude toward bust
ness was revealed in his speeches as
candidate and as president-elect
IL was stated with more precision in
his inaugural address and in his re-
marks to congress on the subjects of
tariff reduction and banking and cur
rency reform.
On every occasion the president has
informed business very frankly as to
the nature of the democratic program,
and he has never failed to invite ad-
vice, counsel and cooperation. If
business from long habit understood
this to mean dictation, it has discov-
cred its error
In this respect the recent visit to
the White house OF a delegation from
the Chicago Association of Commerce
is noteworthy. For once, at least, i'm
portant business men addressed the
president lHIelllBenJly ana WIN SELF
respect. They asked no favors. They
made no absurd plea of poverty and
helplessness. They had wise sugges-
tions to offer bearing ca constructive
legislation and executive pcHcy. They
bullied nobody and they tried to film
fam nobody.
This is exactly in line with the
presidents attitude from the first. He
seeks information and assistance.
The Chicago men urged him to push
the trade commission and securities
bills and to let the Sherman law alone.
1t was good advice and honest as well.
1t was precisely what Mr.. Wilson has
asked from business men and it is
what he needs.
There is no mystery as to the presi-
dents attitude toward business. The
remarkable thing is that business.
with all it's sagacity. could not per-
ceive earlier that a sincere man charg-
ed with solemn duties who asked for
counsel could not be bluffed or STAN
peded in the old disreputable way.

THE CARE OF THE HORSE.

These suggestions for the treatment
of working horses in hot weather have
been published by the New York Wo-
mems League for Animals:
Load lightly and drive slowly.
Stop in the shade II possible.
Water your horses as often as posi-
BILE. So long as a horse is working wa
ter in moderate quantities will not
hurt him. But let him drink only a
few swallows if he is going TO stand
still.
When he comes in after work sponge
off the harness marks and sweat, his
eyes, his nose and mouth, and the
dock. Wash his feet, but not his legs.
II the thermometer is 20 degrees or
higher. wipe him all over with a wet
sponge. Use vinegar water If possible.
Do not turn the hose on him.
Saturday night give q bran mash
cold and add & teaspoonful OF salt
peter.
DO not use a horse hat unless IT is a
canopy-top hat. The ordinary bell
shaped hat does more harm than good.
A sponge on top OF the head, or even
a cloth, is good If kept wet II dry 1t
is worse than nothing.
II the horse Is overcome Dy neat get
him into the shade, and remove har-
ness and bride, wash out his mouth,
sponge him all over. shower his legs
and give him four ounces of sweet spir-
its OF ammonia, or two ounces OF sweet
spirits of nitre. in a pint of water, or
give him a pint of coffee, warm. Cool
his head at once. using cold water; or,
IL necessary, chopped ice wrapped in a
cloth.
IL a horse is off his feed. try him
with two quarts of oats mixed with
bran and a little water; and add lit
tie salt or sugar. Or give him oatmeal
or barley water to drink.
Watch your horse. IL he stops
sweating suddenly. or IL he breathes
short and quick, or IL his ears droop.
or IL he stands with his legs braced
sideways. he is in danger OF heat or
sur stroke and needs attention at once.
II IL is so hot that the horse sweats
IN the stable at night, tie him outside.
Unless he cools of during the night he
cannot well stand the next days heat.

HYGIENE IN THE DESERT

Nothing under the sun is new. Facts

hygiene has reached at the present

in which animals are slaughtered &C
cordfng to the laws of the Talmud is

Brady.M.D.
Beans as Food.

Our esteemed medical predecessor,
Galen, wrote that beans are harder
to digest than other foods and give
bad dreams" Galen's wife must have
been a bad cook Or maybe the man
was too fond OF beans
When properly prepared and eaten
in reasonable quantities, as determined
by the individuals relative physical
activity. beans are not only digestible
but highly nutritious.
Flatulence after eating beans is due
to bacterial fermentation in the in
testinal tract. The use OF catsup or
other carminative f1avors with the
beans tends to prevent discomfort
from fiatulence. Another way to pre-
vent this gas-formation is by soaking
the beans in water containing soda
and salt and then par-boiling TO rem
der the skins and outer layers more
digestible. The entire removal OF the
skins by sieving is sometimes advis-
able in cases where beans are apt to
disagree.
Economy and Energy In Beans.
Baked beans form a prominent part
OF the dietary of lumbermen in the
lumber camps. They furnish large
amount of working energy for a very
small cost, as compared with other
foods. While persons engaged in &C
tive outdoor work can assimilate beans
to better advantage than indoor or
sedentary workers, still the latter
class can and should include beans
and peas in the larder as a mere mat
ter OF economy.
Ten cents will pay for as much
available food in the shape of beans
as you can buy for 40 cents in the
butcher shop. Beef, however, is
more thoroughly assimilated IN the
process of digestion. But even con-
sidering that difference, beans are still
the more economical.
II matters very little whether you
prefer string beans or dried beans,
green peas or canned peas, there is
no other variety OF food more nu-
tritious cent for cent. Both peas and
beans are rich in protein, or vegetable
nitrogen. which Is quite as suitable
for working requirements as Is ami
NAL nitrogen, or lean beef. Dried
peas at cents per pound furnish
twice as much energy to the body as
wheat -four at the same price.
II you don't know beans you should
make IL your business to get acquaint-
ed with them. no matter how far from
Boston you live.

MISSISSIPPI AND NILE.

The New York Commercial is
authority for the statement that the
United States government has retain
cd Sir William willcocks. the distiR-
guished English engineer. who has per-
formed such wonders with the river
Nile. as consulting engineer in the
work that is soon to be attempted with
the Mississippi river, says the New
Orleans States.
OF the success of Sir William Will
cocks in Egypt there can be no two
opinions. The waters of the Nile have
been used for irrigation purposes for
many centuries, but experts say that
in all the history of that ancient coun-
try no system was ever devised equal
to that recently installed under the
supervision of the English engineer.
The statement that the problems of
the Mississippi and the Nile are very
much the some will, however. be SUD-
ject to some dispute The Mississippi
is a much more turbulent stream than
the Nile, and that it will prove as
amenabIe to the systems that have
worked so well in Egypt is something
that remains 10 be proved.
However this may be, the problem
of the Mississippi is one that must be
taken up and settled in this country
and the sooner the better. The views
Of Sir William Willcocks are to be
reduced to writing after personal in
spection OF the Mississippi river and
It's problems, and the plan he proposes
will then be considered by a board %
