Auto Kills Popularity.
But with the dawning of the pres
emit century the attractions OF the
Star and Carter waned. It is the
conventional thing to say that the
coming of the automobile killed its
popularity. Other causes contribu-
ted. The road. instead of running
through pleasant open country, was
rapidly becoming an artery OF heavy
omnibus and tram car traffic. The
era OF the fashionabel restaurant in
town had begun, and it was NO longer
necessary to go so far afield for a
good luncheon or dinner. Ten years
ago. the hotel closed its door. There
have since been rumors from time to
time as to re-opening 1t as palatial
boarding house or rebuilding It into
q block Of luxurious fats. but none
OF the schemes came to maturity.
In its new use as a permanent hos
pital for officers, it will preserve for
a work OF national usefulness site
OF rare beauty. The hotel is almost
completely surrounded by park lands
which have been gradually acquired
by the London city council to give
the public easy access to the banks
Of the Thames.

GOING SOUTH
On Return Trip to Quaker CITY
is the Famous Old
Relic.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 4.-Mayor
.Blanhenburg has approved the decis-
ion Of the Liberty Bell subcommittee
of councils to bring the relic home by
a southern route, regardless of the
fact that 1t will cost more than did
the journey westward. He has also
intimated that he will meet the bell
party somewhere in the South and re-
turn with it to this city.
This was made known at a meeting
OF the bell committee recently, when
Secretary Charles B. Hall reported the
result Of his conference with the
mayor at the latter's summer home az
Pocono Pines. The committee then
made known the tentative route Of the
return trip and estimated the cost at
approximately $685. GOO, which is at least
$500 more than the trip to San Fran
cisco. This will make the total cos.
OF the bells journey about $1,000.
The proposed southern route COW
ers the majority of requests from
soutscrn cities. and is 4,713 miles long.
The bell committee will leave this city
on November for San Francisco. and
the bell and its escort will leave San
francisco on November oil. according
to present plans.
The San Diego exposition will be
the first stop out OF San Francisco.
Virtually every town Of any import
ance along the bell route is to have a
chance to see the bell.

INDIAN OLA
FOUND IN CAVE
BEING SHOWN
Along with Many Other Indian
Relics at the San Diego
Worlds Fair.
os,selAl 10 1n. 1IlreaA.,

SAN DIEGO, Sept. 4.-As II u!ded
by an unseen Indian spirit hand in
recompense for the increased inter-
est in the lives Of the Mission" In
dian tribes reused by the exhibits in
the gallery OF California, history at
the San Diego exposition, ancient
pieces Of the Indians handiwork are
almost weekly being brought to light
and added to the collections on dis
play.
One of the latest pieces is an In
dian ola of especially graceful lines
and declared by experts the most
perfect specimen of the kind ever dis
covered. This was found in a for
gotten cave in the Cuyamaca noun
tains, about thirty miles from San
Diego, a flat rock overgrown with
brush obscuring the opening for more
than century.
The discovery was made by Mrs. N.
3. Mcpherson, OF San Diego, who,
with party OF women, supervised a
Young Mems Christian Association
small boys camp IN the mountains.
Upon having the rock removed and
entering the cave, the ola was found
sitting on a fiat stone on the cave
floor. No other article or trace OF
habitation could be found. Whether
the ola, primarily a water vessel,
ieit in sealed cave in desert noun
ta.ns tells the story of some ancient
ceremony Is not authoritively known.
The specimen no doubt was made
by cuyamaca Indian potter. 1t
was moulded from clay and burned,
the surface being smooth and black.
1t stands approximately eighteen
inches high and is the same in diam
e.er at It's widest part. While the
bottom is rounded, the balance is 80
perfect that it stands absolutely true.
The neck is the narrowest ever found
in this character OF vessel and the
uniform thickness of the vessel is
scarcely an eighth of an inch. 1t is
not decorated in any way. the art OF
the Cuyamacas being very primitive,
but It's symmetry is remarkable in its
perfection.

Real Estate Men Purchase
and Give 1t to the Queen
for Red Cross Use.
tsY AssoelArap parso

LONDON. Sept. 4.-The Star and
Garter hotel at Richmond on the
Thames, which has Just been pur-
chased by the real estate men OF
Great Britain and presented to tAe
queen as Red Cross hospital for
disabled officers, is probably the most
famous hotel in England.
For something over C1t50 years there
has been hosiery Of this name on
the brow OF Richmond hill, presenting
the finest view of the winding river
that is obtainable anywhere within a
days journey OF London. The view
from the windows Of the Star and
Garter has inspired poetry from
Wordsworth to Maurice as picture
which
"Burstss in flood of glory on the view
Still bright, still varied and forever
new"
Royalty's Farorite Spot.
An auctioneer's advertisement that
was printed 1870 years ago described
the property as follows: These truly
desirable and valuable premises, the
Star and Garter on Richmond hill, the
favorite spot for centuries past OF
princes, and the admiration and re-
sort Of the first nobility and taste in
Europe: replete with every requisite
convenience for the reception OF all
ranks in the public line, possessing
the most extensive and delightful
Views Of the Thames, the whole form
ing one OF the most enchanting pic
lures in Great Britain"
One OF the notable occasions of the
big hotel was a breakfast served on
June 10. 1914. at which were present
the prince regent OF England. the en-
peror OF Russia, the duchess OF Old
enburg. and the king of Prussia, wish
his sons and nephews. The company
which also included Generals Butcher
and Platoff. had journeyed out from
London by coach.
Queen Victoria was frequent Wis

Prayers
For Peace
Are GiDen
Almost Daily at the Services of
the American Missionary
Bodies in Japan.
@, A..ee,Arrp .nr,,,

KARUIZAWA, Japan. Sept. A.
Prayers for the restoration Of peace
for the principal feature OF almost
daily services held here by American
missionary bodies. 1t is the keynote
of the summer schools and confer
ences At the same time the mis-
sionary organizations are studying
the means Of furiher:ng their evange-
listic work in Japan and throughout
the whole Orient.
The Rev. d. s. Spencer, OF Nagoya,
VIII delivered an address recently
before the Pan+Methodist conference,
urged the missionaries to reach the
rural districts. The rural class, ne
said, represent seyenty-fiye per cent
OF the total population of Japan.
This specialized work could not be
done by the old methods, he said,
nor by workers who did not under
stand the special field in which they
were placed. In order to accomplish
Its duty in Japan, the Methodist mis-
sion instead of total Of $50 work
ers Of all grades, should have eco or
dained men, 220 single women, III ,00o
Japanese evangelistic and 40 Bible
women, he said.
The Methodist missionaries, DR..
Spencer explained, were about TWEEN
ty per cent of the total missionary
force in the empire. Figuring the
population at 55,000,000, the Metho-
dists might be said to be under obli-
cation to evangelize at least Ii, 000, 900
souls. AS a matter Of fact, the total
membership OF the Japan Methodist
church in 1915 is 1851, and this rep
resented forty years of effort. He
added:
Now l do not suggest that these
small numbers mean failure. But
theer is another side of the problem.
When we began our work, the Jap
anese numbered $4,000. 900. Our Meth
odist task has therefore grown from
seven to eleven millions. To say
nothing of the original $4,000, 0O0-we
have never gotten within wireless
distance of the increased population
and without some fundamental change
for the better we will never get
there"
The way out of the difficulty, in his
opinion, was to reach the rural COM
munities and to fit the methods to
the class to be evangelical. "The
missionary must be practically help
full. Community interests must be
started, as local circumstances per-
mit-perhaps beginning with a kim
dergarten. or other educational meas
ure; or seeds may be brought in for
the farmers. new kinds of fruit intro
duced, better water supply or sewers
put In and friendly attitude Of help
fulness shown that will bear fruit all
down the years"

Wheeling Woman Chosen.
Mrs. j. A. Clark, of Wheeling, who
has been elected as the delegate 20
the conference from the Fourth Street
Methodist Episcopal church, of that
city, Is going to be put forward as
the woman's candidate for delegate
by the women Of the Wheeling dis.
trict, and from what can be learned,
she may have fair chance Of being
elected as one Of the general confer.
ence delegates. 1t might be empna.
sized that four churches in Wheel.
ing district have elected women as
delegates to the Lay Electoral Con-
terence so that it will be seen that
there is some sentiment in that dis.
trict favorable to equal suffrage in
church affairs.
While Mrs. Clark is not an avowed
candidate for the place, her friends
are the ones who are forcing her can.

suit In the contest OF delegates In this
particular will be watched with no
small amount Of interest. Mrs. Clark
It might be said, is next to a national
figure in the women's department OF
the church. being president of tn.
cincinnati branch Of the Woman's
Foreign Missionary Society, which
branches comprises several states.
Set Forth Claims.
1t Is claimed by the women that
they are entitled to representation
ana they have no small amount OF
support in this belief from the male
contingent, as 1t is a recognized fact
that many of the responsibilities in
the church rest upon the shoulders
OF the women. Further It is also rec
ogntzed in the church that they never
shirk any work which is thrust upon
them or which they assume.
Under the action taken by the gem
eral conference OF the church in 1890
at the meeting held in Chicago where
the matter of equal suffrage in the
church was threshed out, the women
gained notable victory in that re.
spect. By reason of that fact thew
are entitled to seats in the genera,

inc necessary number of votes to be
elected as delegates. and as stated
above. their strength is going to he

short, Viola Stevens. a 10 year OLD
Brooklyn girl. who ran away from

To the message was attached the
postscript: "Will write on our honey
moon" This was signed Max Good

sumed the name Saville so that at
tempts to prevent him from getting a
marriage license may BIO blocked.
Mrs. Adelaide Stevens, the girls
mother, who lives at $50 Hancock
street, said that she had offered $500
reward for the return OF the girl.
Further light on the runaway esca-
pade came when Andrew Bostick, an
other student at the childrens me-
scum, told Mrs. Stevens that he had
accompanied the two on the first stage
of their journey.
