THE SUNDAY CAMPAIGN IN
PHILADELPHIA.

AS is generally known, the Rev.
William A: Sunday, the famous evan
gelist, is holding revival meeting
IN Philadelphia. The meeting, which
began ABOUT January lst,. viii con-
tSiihaaae Through the month of February.
1t is so far one of the most noted
and wonderful meetings ever held in
this country. TIL first invitation Civ
en- to those who would lead better
life was acceptd by 1140 people of all
ages, classes and conditions. Groups
IN hundreds have responded at each
subsequent service. The staid and con-
sentative old city is being shaken to
its foundation.
Some particulars Of this wonderful
campaign may be of interest. To be-
gin with, the Tabernacle, with a ca
pacity of 10000 people, was erected
specially for the occasion by an archi-
tect connected with Mr.. Sundays par
ty, who erects and manages all the
tabernacles for the Sunday meetings,
as no building in any city is large
enough to accommodate the crowds.
This tabernacle is heated by 81 large
coal burning stoves. The platform
accommodates hundreds, occupied
chiefly by ministers. There are two
choirs of 1900 people each. These al
ternate at the services. Connected with
the tabernacle is restaurant, a hos
pital and a nursery. Busy clerks and
others are furnished meals at low
prices. People overcome by heat or
other causes, are treated in an emer-
gency hospital by physicians in charge
Mothers wishing to attend services
can leave their children in charge OF
competent nurses, having them tagged
and numbered for Identification. A
regular fire company and several hun
sdred policemen are on duty all the
time. In the party. besides Mr.. and
Mrs Sunday, are about Is workers
men and women-who hold MANY
services during the day, in different
churches, shops, stores, ETC., through
out the city. Two services-one at
2:3O and 7:3O are held daily in the
Tabernacle. At several services thous-
ands were turned away for lack of
room. 1t is wonderful. The campaign
is laid out on clean cut, systematic,
business lines.
The collections taken sometimes
amount to as much as $4,000 in one
day. The campaign will cost $780,
10000, all Of which was arranged for
in advance by the business men of
Philadelphia.
Sunday is sensational, of course.
He has his own way of putting things.
He speaks, he, says, to twentieth CEN
fury people in the language of the
qoxeptieth century. Whatever may be
thought of his methods, there is no
doubling his earnestness and SINGER
ity. He~rings as true as steel on all
great questions of religion and NOR
atty, and stands foul square every
time. He has his critics .and his
! enemies, of course, but he says, that
70 say Of a man at his funeral, che had
no enemies" is about as bad as a
preacher could say of the dead.

had spread over the graded plain as
far as the present Rocky Mountains.
This invasion Of the sea was followed,
apparently without great lapse Of
time, by a still greater invasion In the
Upper Crc,aceaus epoch.
The first deposits Of Upper Crcta-
ccaus aFe--thc Dakota sandstone
were spread out uniformly over the
level plain. which then included the
whole area that was later pushed up
TO form the Rocky Mountains Over
these sands, which were laid down
along the advancing front Of the sea,
were deposited the marine sediments
rs the sea moved forward, In it's
waters lived great numbers Of ser
pent-like swimming reptiles; and over
il scared pterodactyls, the fossil re-
mains Of which show that they meas
ured is feet from tip to tip Of wings.
On its shores and in IFS waters sported
large diving birds, which still retained
the teeth inherited from their reptil-
ian ancestors.
On the shores Of this sea, especially
along its western margin, great
swamps developed and in them grew a
variety OF semitropical plants, such as
palm and fix trees. The resulting car
bonaceaus material which accumulat-
ed as peat was later converted into
coal. The sea did not attain its maxi
mum size at once. Probably at no one
time was the whole interior basin un-
der water. The advance Of the sea
and the filling Of the basin kept pace
with each other, so that sediments and
fossils which indicate nearness to
shore and coal beds which indicate
swamps above sea level are found at
many positions from bottom to top Of
the Upper Cretaceaus formations.
At the close of the Crctaceaus peri
cd notable changes were produced in
the geography Of the region. The in
terror basin, which had been subsiding
throughout the Cretaceaus period, was
now lifted; its water were poured back
into the oceans, and the mountains
whose roots had been buried were
resuscitated. In some places the
erosion that followed removed from
these newly lifted mountains the Gre
taceaus rocks that once covered them
and cut deep enough into the under
lying formations to obtain the pebbles,
Of older rocks, which may now be
found in the lower part OF the Oldest
Tertiary beds. In other places the
Cretaceaus rocks were not entirely re-
moved. Beds that once lay 5000 feet
below the level of the sea were lifted
to form mountain tops that now stand
more than $4,000 feet above sea level.

THE JokERS' COLUMN
A GLOOM DISBELIEF
What Caesar Did

When Caesar took westward ride
And grabbed the Gauls Of Rome,
What was the first thing that he did
To make them feel at home
Did he increase the peoples load,
And liberty forbid?
No. he dug in and built good roads
That's what old Caesar did.
Did Caesar put the iron heel
Upon the foemans breast,
Or did he try TO make them feel
That Roman rule was best +?
What did he do to make them glad
He came their lands amid?
He built good roads in place OF bad
That's what old Caesar did.
He built good roads from hill to hill,
Good roads from vale to vale;
He ran a good roads movement
Till old Rome got all the kale.
He told the folks to buy at home,
Build roads their ruts to rid,
Until all roads led up to Rome
That's what old Caesar did.
If any town would make itself
The center of the map,
Where folks will come and settle down
And live in plenty's lap;
If any town its own abodes
OF poverty would rid,
Let il go out and build good roads
Just like old Caesar did.

The United States Geological Sur
vey has just published report which
though technical, nevertheless en-
bodies some interesting history Of the
early ages Of the North American con-
tinent. II tells Of the rise and fall OF
portion Of the continent millions Of
years ago, long before the age Of man,
at a time when strange beasts inhab-
itated the country, when the climate
was subtropical, and when a peculiar
swamp vegetation hourished, the re-
mains Of which were converted into
the present great coal beds Of the
West,
Late in what is termed by geolo-
gists "Carboniferous time" according
TO w. 7. Lee, the author OF the report
professional Paper CSC, there were
mountains in Colorado and New Mex
leo comparable to the present Rocky
Mountains. During the Triassic peri
cd and much Of the Jurassic, which
followed, a time TO be measured in
millions of years, these mountains
were eroded away. Late in the
Jurassic period wide area had been
worn down so near sea level that a
slight subsistence of the land allowed
sea water to enter from the Pacific
Ocean and spread over Wyoming,
northern Colorado, and eastern Utah.
Near the close Of the Jurassic slight
unfit expelled this sea. After some
time this area began again to settle
and the streams spread fine sediments
over the bed Of the shallow basin late
ly occupied by the sea and over the
lowlying lands. This subsistence in
troduced the Cretaceous period and
eliminated in the occupation OF the
region by a sea which reached from
Utah to the Mississippie Valley and
from the Gulf Of Mexico to the Arctic
Ocean.
The subsistence was slow at first and
the streams spread their muds uni
formly over an area extending from
New Mexico to Montana and from
Utah to Kansas. Only small areas
of the Rock Mountain region were not
covered by them. In the streams,
swamps, and bayous of this early Gre
taceaus time lived huge reptiles; some
of them we're S. feet long and 20 feet
tall, with bulk many times as great
as the largest elephant of to-day. By
the close of Lower Cretaceaus time

SPECIAL WASHINGTON
CORRESPONDENCE

Washington, D. c., Oct. 4-Demo-
cratic laws have been tried and found
wanting.
As the time for Congress to re-
assemble approaches, this fact is be
ing gradually disclosed by the admin
istration itself. In nearly every De-
partment in Washington, government
officials are preparing amendments to
patch up defects in statutes. These
defects exist because the methods fol-
lowed in the enactment Of the statutes
were slovenly and careless to the last
degree.
Another problem facing the admin
istration, even more serious than that
of defective laws, is that of the gov
ernments finances. There has been
growing discrepancy between receipts
and expenditures, creating deficit IN
the treasury that must be provided
for.
Government funds have been vast
ed, and a large proportion OF this
waste is due to carelessness by the
Democratic Congress in handling APP
preparations. Articles have hereto
fore appeared giving a few typical
examples of how this waste has oc-
cured. These articles might be con-
tinued indefinitely. Enough has been
said, however, to illustrate the waste
full, inefficient principles that has viii
ated the entire Democratic regime.
A srecapitulation of the later ar
ticles, from 16 to "a, is given here
with. They win be followed later by
additional descriptions Of Democratic
mistakes:
16. Millions of dollars worth of the
nations timber supply jeopardized.
II. The integrity Of the law taxing
cotton future" sales is in doubt, and
must be tested in court.
IS. As business managers the Dem
ocrats have been utter failures, their
methods Of enacting appropriation
bills causing enormous waste. To IL
lustrate:
10. The rural free delivery service
has been shamefully crippled.
90. The construction of good roads
by governmental aid was delayed a
year, and much of the appropriation
absolutely lost.
q. Important surveys of Alaska
mineral resources were prevented for
two successive years.
%. Prevention of epidemics of to-
heroulosis and trachoma among Indian
tribes and adjacent communities de-
layed year.
e. Civil war veterans died in want
through needless errors in special pen
sion laws.
"a Over ten million dollars lost in
one appropriation bill alone through
needless delay in its enactment;
enough lost in four years Of similar
Democratic delays to more than cover
the present treasury deficit
