BILLY SUNDAY
AT BOSTON, MASS
Closes Tabernacle Meeting in Boston
With Greatest Success of His
Career

Billy Sunday closed his work in
Boston Sunday. He met more oppos-
ition in the Hub than usual and his
success was accordingly the greatest
he has yet achieved. The booze peo-
pie fought him fiercely and actually
increased their majority in favor of
saloons in an election held in the
middle of his campaign. The people
in charge of the government of Bos-
ton compelled the Sunday people to
build a tabernacle of brick and steel
instead of wood and the expenses of
this and other incidents brought the
total to $4,000. This was almost
double any previous expense.
The greatest number of trail hit
ters previously recorded was in Phil
adelphia two years ago when the
number reached 10000. The Boston
campaign netted nearly $4,000 con-
verts, almost double the Philadelphia
record.
Sunday now goes to Buffalo for
seven weeks and then will tackle New
York in the greatest effort Of his life,
three months revival. This cam
paign will begin April 1. The con-
struction of the New York tabernacle
is already under way, and it is the
largest one ever provided for the
base ball evangelist.
Next fall Sunday Will open with
what he thinks will be the eli
max of his career, a great revival in
Chicago. From this city he will go
to Washington, D. c., then to St.
Louis and finish up in Los Angeles
a year from this spring. He is book
ed now for five years and he is plan
ming a campaign for Australia, the
British Isles and South Africa.
Sunday is severely criticised from
several angles. The progressive
churchman says this religion is old
fashioned to the point of being ar
chaic. He is caustically criticised for
his use Of slang. Others insist that
he is intolerant and here and there
a critic insists that he is simply out
for the coin. But Sunday goes right
on preaching and for something like
twenty years he has not registered a
single failure.
But success was not won without a
long struggle. Something over twenty
years ago Sunday conducted revival
in Audubon. A little later he con-
Quoted three weeks campaign in
Glidden. Then he was accompanied
by one man who led his choirs. One
hundred and fifty converts and $500
free will offering in those days was
counted an excellent record.
Sunday is reported to have said
that when he retires he will come to
Iowa to spend his declining years.
But those years will not be long.
Sunday will die in his evangelistic
saddle. He likes the work. He may
think that he will retire but he'll
stay as long as he can maintain his
batting and fielding averages.

BREAKING OF WATER
PIPE CAUSES DAMAGE

A W. ter pipe in the hall way to the
Odd flows hall bursted early Tues
day evening and practically flooded
the lower floor of the building occup-
led by Smiths Fashion Shop and
Mrs. Elizabeth Carr's millinery. Dur
ing the supper hour water was discov-
cred running down into the basement
of the Palm Cafe. Mr.. Ulrich inform
ed w. w. Smith who at once started
an investigation and soon found it in
the toilet room upstairs. A plumber
was secured to shut off the water
supply Immediately.
A large portion of the plastering
on the ceiling came off which togeth-
er with the water did considerable
damage to Mrs. Cars millinery which
was stored directly under the leak.
All of the goods were removed from
the corner and as much saved as pos
sible, but at best Mrs. Carr will be
quite heavy loser as most of the
stock and trimmings were completely
ruined.

WOMEN OF FAN0 ISLAND
p NEVER TALK TO MEN

CORFU, September 1.-THE little
Greek island of Fano, near here, has
tlcome known to the Entente fleets
and armies as a place where women
are forbidden to talk The island has
normally a population of 1924 per-
sons, but most of the men are in the
United States, where they work as
walters.
The custom of the island for many
years has been for the young men to
marry the girl they love best and then,
after a brief honeymoon, so to Amer
lea to make their fortunes, retuRling
in few years to their brides and
babies. During this period of the alb
sence Of the husband, it has become
a custom for their wives, women of
traditional beauty never OF talk to
men. 1t is the business of the Older
women to watch over the young wives,
and when strange men approach, as
has happened frequently since tie war,
they are met with showers Of stone.
