THE LISBON CATASTROPHE
Up to the time of this catastrophe,
the earthquake at Lisbon, Portugal,
in 1755, which cost $1,000 lives,
caused the greatest number of casu-
altieS.
Nineteen hundred and six was
the worst period for seismic .distur-
Dances on record. Ii was during
this time that great disasters occurr-
ed the world over. The destruction
of San Francisco and Valparaiso and
the razing of 18 villages in Calabra.
occurred in the spring and summer
of 1906. The province of Esme rail-
das, in Educator, was shaken on
the following January and a great
tidal wave followed, drowning many
persons and devastating the city of
EsmeraIdas. Columbia also suffer
ed in this disturbance, about 800
persons being killed.

Robbery This Week.

: Robbers effected entrance into the
Liberty Tailor shop Monday night
and took therefrom several suits of
clothes The bloodhounds were put
upon the trail but failed to develop
anything. Some people seem to
have a mania for breaking into tail,
oring shops. This makes about the
sixth time in three years that tailor
ing shops here have been invaded
by midnight stalkers.
After the above was written Chief
of Police McGhee informs us that
part of the stolen goods were recov-
cred in the woods seven miles out
and that he was close on the track
of the thief.

AT Wesley Memorial Church
First Religious Services Held Sunday
An Overflow Audience--Hand-
some Structure.

An overflow audience, estimated
at one thousand, witnessed the frs
services to be held at Wesley Mem
orial church last Sunday morning.
Just previous to the II O'Clock
service a short service in front ol
the church was held in connection
with placing of the tablet, Rev. S. B
Turrentine making fine talk appro.
pirate to ths occasion. >..
Rev. J. H. Barnhardt, pastor oi
Washington Street M E. church last
year, preached the first sermon
which was a fine effort and made a
deep impression. Others taking part
in the services were: Rev. Gilbert
Rowe, the pastor of the new church;
Rev. j. E. Thompson, former pastor
of Washington Street M. E. church;
Rev. Blair, of the Christian Advo-
cate; Rev. H. G. Byrum, of South
Main Street M. E. church, and Rev.
w. H. Townsend A very interest
ing exercise, consisting of singing,
reading. etc., was held in connection
with the service.
At the evening service Rev. j. E.
Thompson preached and another
large crowd was ON hand.
The church is quite beautiful
house of worship and does credit to
the Methodists of High Point. Ii
was made necessary by the large
congregation and every one should
be proud of it.
Itwas a beautiful morning for the
first service and the sunlight fitting
through the beautiful art windows
made a pleasing sight to look upon
one could almost see the fairies of
love riding On its golden rays.
But we must not close without re-
ferrine to the old church just vacated
on Washington street. Many thou
sand tender memories cluster around
this sacred spot. Here many of the
best preachers in the land have
poured forth their eloquence.a here
thousands of souls have been saved,
scores of the last services on earth
enacted, hundreds of marriages per-
formed, and many other incidents
that will live long in memory.
But the parting had to be-the
church was getting old. not enough
room, not enough style and comfort
commensurate with the standing of
this church and congregation here
and it had to 90. Such is life-we
hate to leave the old surroundings
but when it is best and once accus-
toned to the new, it can be esaily
seen that such a forward step was
imperative.

MUST PAY FOR PAPER.

Judge George Thomas, of Columbus. Neb.
recently decided that if man accepts paper
that is sent him he must pay for it. The de-
cison was rendered in the case bro light by
the Columbus (Neb) Telegram against man
for 81 IS. The Telegram had been sent to the
mans home and he had accepted the paper.
When called upon to pay for it he refused and
suit was brought. When Judge Thomas heard
the evidence he instructed the jury to bring
in a verdict for the Telegram. Judge Thomas
ruled that the old common law principle that
what man received and used he was bound
to pay tor applied in this instance. If

Europe dressed as a man, Edna Puffer,
eighteen years old, was arrested here
last night with William Shaw.
Miss Puffer says she has worn male
costume for FIVE years. Shaw, her trav-
cling companion for some time, was
dumfounded when he learned of her
sex.
Miss Puffer, who was charged with
vagrancy, said her home was in New
port News, Va. In the city court to-
day her case was continued.
She told Judge Booth she had cooked
in a Mexican ranch and had been a
dixie tender in Holland. She left home
when twelve years old, she said, and
assumed male attire for protection in
travelling. Her father had Indian
blood, her mother was English. Both
died before she was seven years old.
Judge Booth ordered woman's clothes
for her.

Reads the Riot Act to the
Cities Committee-Re-
suits Predicted.
FOUR-YEAR TERM FOR
GOVERNOR URCFD
New Proposals Would limit Him
to Single Term and Double
Salary.

y
Albany, July 21.-Elihu Root, presi-
dent of the Constitutional Convention,
took a hand to-day in the effort to
make the committees get down to real
work. He selected for his first visit a
committee that has so far accom-
plished little, the Cities Committee, OF
which Seth Low, ex-Mayor of New
York City, is chairman.
Mr. Root was evidently displeased, TO
put it mildly, and what he said made
that committee vince. He ,alked about
the utter failure 20 get together on
anything resembling a home rule for
cities amendment. He suggested that
it was time 10 get started and ordered
a move at once. After reading the riot
act in full, he said:
"If you've agreed or anything, start
on that. Then you may come to some
definite proposition.
The general belief now is that the
committee will settle down to work and
submit some sort of home rule amend
ment to the convention. The members
who want to give the cities a square
deal believe that Mr.. Roots visit will
have a wholesome effect.
The Public Utilities Committee, OF
which Ledyard P Hale, of st. Law
renee, is chairman, did another somer-
sault to-day, when it decided to let the
public serice commissions alone. Now
all it intends to do is TO make the pres
ent commissions constitutional bodies.
william Barnes's committee reported
favorably his proposal aimed at charter
t:nkering and "socialistic legislation"
which includes widowed mothers PEN
sions.
The Committee on Government and
Other State Officers, of which Fred
erick C. Tanner is chairman, will report
favorably tomorrow a proposal TO ex-
tend the term of the Governor and
Lieutenant Governor to four years and
increase the salary of the Governor
from $4,000 to $4,000.
Tho nroposal would also prevent the
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-07-22

Governor from serving for more than
one term. This would mean, its fran,
ers believe, that the Governor would
spend all his time working for tne
state instead OF spending most Oh ~
building political fences.
The proposed amendment would not
20 into effect until 1918. Thi. would
mean that the elections would take
place in the middle of Presidential
term, thus preventing parties from put
ting forward weak man for Governor
when they felt that their Presidential
candidate would sweep the state.
Charles II. Young's proposal. proyid-
ing that voter must be able TO read or
write English, was reported favoraoly
by the Suffrage Committee.
The Judiciary Committee has tenta-
lively agreed on making the magis-
trates Of New York City elective on
Gals. They are now appointed by the
Mayor.
