In the death Of DR.. W. G.. Whit" the
town of Yorkville loses one of its best
known and most prominent citizens
DR.. White was born In Chester county
on May 3. 1857 and was raised on Il
farm not far from the town OF Chester
He received his academic education in
the log cabin schools of the day, after
ward went to Erskinc college. and Sc
cured his degree in medicine OF the
University Of Maryland on March Is,
1883. He located in Yorkville on April
9 following and continued the practice
of medicine here and in the country
surrounding up to the time of his
death. He has been in failing health
for several years past; but he has con-
tinued at his work without ceasing eX-
cept when physically unable to go. His
practice was large and covered quite
an extensive territory in the town ana
leading out for many miles in all sur
ro. ling directions. He was held in
high esteem by hundreds of friends,
and by many patients who were al
ways glad to testify to the faithfulness
with which he attended them in times
Of serious illness.
The splendid plan of the Red Cross
means simply this: That every effort
will be made by those who are we'll IL
take care of those who are sick The
committees that have ueen appointed
will do all they can to hunt out those
who are in need Of help; but in case
any who are in need are overlooked
they must have no hesitation in max
ing their need known. If they do they
will be entitled to no sympathy on that
account. In cases where families are
unable to prepare food, or other neces-
sites, it is the purpose Of the relief
workers to look after such matters
also. 1t Is assumed that in a time like
this every man, woman and child In
the community stands ready to give
either service or means or both, to the
limit. Although conditions have not
been and are not now such as to make
serious demands on the services Of
volunteer helpers, there is no telling
what the situation may develop into
and the nucleus of an organization
that can be extended as occasion de-
mands ought to have a decided effect
in upbuilding the confidence and as
surance of everybody.

peal to parliament that the Provincial
legislature passed the Act Of 1904. I'm
less Mr.. Salley assumes to be final au-
thority himself. we would like him to
give us better authority than DIR. Ram
sey.
1t is a fact that the act which ex-
cluded Dissenters from the Provincial
assembly was repealed in 1905. very
likely because otherwise 1t would have
led to the developments described by
the British house of Lords. and in nddi-
ton to that to bloodshed, as the result
of which the usurping churchmen
would have been wiped out; but the
church was not disestablished yet by
any means. The legislature continued
to appropriate money to build and re-
pair churches. pay salaries Of rectors,
clerks and sections, and to encourage
ministers Of the Church Of England to
settle in South Carolina. and II any
other denomination got any money IT
was only by way Of subsidy intended
fo bribe subservience to the party that
was In the saddle. Again quoting DR..
Ramsey:
This state Of things, with very little veria-
ton. continued for seventy years. and as long
as the province remained subject to Great
Britain.
With reference to the election OF
John Hunter in 1895 and John Ewing
Colhoun in 1900. Mr.. salley will excuse
us for reminding him Of a very i'm
portant circumstance that had con-
siderable bearing upon both Of these
cases. Following the Revolution and
up to several years after 1900. the
Episcopal church. by reason Of having
lost its state support, and also because
its rectors were all sworn to allegiance
to the king Of England. had be-

grievouH national situation respect ing public lands development. De velopment, halted by the country wide uprising in behalf of conesrva- tiou tItte nations resources some years age, has not since been re- stunned on anything approaching tJe former scale. The conservation laws called for 8 readjustment of methods. and the war has caught us with the process scarcely begun.
 1te other day the senate passed q hill to encourage and promote the mininT of coal and oil on the pub lie domain. Substantially the same bill has failed heretofore several times in the last few years be- cause the house and senate could not agree on certain details. They will probably now agree, because the conditions demand an immediate remedy. But apparently Alaska will not receive much benefit from the legislation. Conditions in the territory require a special policy.
 The difficulties and the risks of exploitation are manifestly greater there than in the public lands of the states. The government of Brit ish Columbia. where conditions are similar, offers Inducements to the nrosnector and capitalist which are proving highly effective. The sys- tenn should have the consideration of congress. Some such policy mg'ht be engrafted on the bill now in course of enactment or emood- jed i.l q special Alaska act.

MRS. HEARST WORKS
 TO RELIEVE POOR

Mrs. William Randolph Hearst, wife of the New York publisher, has taken hold of her duties as chair man of the mayors Committee of Women on National Defense in manner that will mean much to the poor Far from dealing with the tIore romantic features of the war, Mrs. Hearst has seen an opportunity fer nelpfulneSS and has grasped it ;u businesslike manner. She has started an educational campaign on the scientific methods of building fires, an engineer having been as signed to take charge of a series of experiments to test the practical value of cinders as fuel.
 The women are starting their campaign to save coal because of the daily waste discovered in the homes of New York city. Good coal is thrown away every day in the Household ashes.
 Mrs. Hearst has discovered that two tons of available and practical fuel material can be obtained from ciuders at a conservative estimate of $5.SO.
 Mrs. Hearst has announced the ap pointment of Mrs. Mary McKelyey as chairman of the borough of the Brcnx. Mrs. Charles E. Simonson has just been named as chairman Of Richmond and Mrs. Lewis Nixon as chairman of Manhattan. i | Iii

A HISTORIC CHURCH.
Linked For e Century With Official
 Life In Washington.

In historic St. Johns Protestant Episcopal church, just across Lafa- yette square from the White House, more presidents and men prominent in Washington official lie have worship ed than in any other church in the na- tional capital. St. Johns, now q cen tury old, was the first building to be erected on Lafayette square after the White House, which was completed In 1900. The presidents Of the United States who wOrShipcd he:e were John Quincy Adams. Madison, Monroe, Van Bufen, William Henry Harrison. Tyler, Tavlor, Fillmore and Arthur and In more recent times the White House was represented by Mrs. Roosevelt and Mrs. Taft. who made St. Johns church their church home.
 Other prominent people were regu- larly seen in the congregation, includ- ing Stephen Decatur, Henry Clay, John c. Calhoun. Chief Justi,e Fuller Sal mon T. Chase, Benjamin F. Butler, Lewis CaSs. George Bancroft, Winfield Scott ard George Dewey. Its rectOrs otHciated at nearly all of the early White House weddings. many notable ones having taken place within it's sa- cred walls.
 The denominations have been pretty well represented in ,hc presidency. Grant attended tha Metropolitan Meth odist church. McKiGlcy the Foundry Methodist church; Benjamin Harrison and Cleveland attended the Presbyte- rian church: Wilson is Presbyterian and. like Cleveland, the son or Pres byterian minister; Garfield was a mem- Der of the Disciples church, and Roosevelt attended the Dutch Re formed church.-Christian Herald.

Fashion's Changes.

One can say as certainty that in the twentieth century no one will be able to boast that he has created any thing absolutely new in fashions. The crinolines of the Empress Eugenie were a reminlscence of the pannicrs of Marie Antolnette, and long before her time. In the orient. women had con- ceIved the idea of enlarging their skirts by means of hoops. A few years ago women of fashion affected high waists and sheath dresses, but before them Mime. Recamler had done the same thing. and the dresses of Mime. Recamler were suggested by the Greeks and the Romans. In short, like everything else, fashion Is part of the same everlasting come and go. We do not advance as We are so prone to i'm agine; we repeat our steps.-Roger Boutet de Monyel In Century.

 IN TRENCHES

The fact that American troops were in the trenches in Lorraine was revealed by the German war office three months ago. At that time, according to an official German an- nUuncement, the Americans were on the front at the Rhine -Marne can al, which intersectS the battle line near the German border, due east UF Nancy. This announcement was made in the offical report from Der lin of the first German raid on the American positions in which three Americans were killed, five wounded and 12 captured.
 The eastern end of the battle line in France and Belgium runs thru French and German Lorraine. French Lorraine, in which is the American sector, is included in the departments of Mouse, the capital .: which is Verdun; Meurthe-eth- Noseue, whose capital is Nancy, and Ncsges, with the capital at Spinal. IT E length of the front in French Lorraine is about 15O miles. This section Of the battle line extends into Mouse from the Marne near St. Me1ehOuId aud runs eastward to the north Of Yerdun 10 St. Mi chiel and east to the German border. There it turns to the southeast, and almost parallels the border to the vicinity of Leintry. Below LeintTy tt cuts across a section of French soil, past BadonYiller and Senones and OH the east of St. Die and again crosses the German border at a point west of Colmar. The remain der Of the line to the Swiss boun- diary is in Germany.
 since the battle of Verdun there has been no fighting of great i'm portance along this front. For the most part it runs through high and broken country. Since the present battle line was established early in the war there has been comparative ly little activity on the front to the east aOf the Verdun sector. the ma ture of the country making large Uy eraJiOns impracticable.

WORK OF THE PRESIDENT.
~Put It In VI ritins," ls the Rule of
 Our <ChiST Executive.

Mir. Wilson likes to have things in writing, and utmost all of the business of the Wilson administration Is con ducted in that way. The cabinet has learned to sV.bmit virtually everything in writing. MT. Wilson has no stenog- rapher with him at night. He keeps a little typewriter beside him and types a brief comment or reply to each of these long communications.
 Even the ~bresdent's private secre- tary, when anxious to lay before him matter Of importance, draws up a memorandum or brief giving the pros and cons of the subject. He could just as well walk a few steps to the White House from the executive offices or even consult, the president when he Is in his office. but ever since he was gov ernor of New Jersey Mir. Wilson has indicated that he prefers to have i'm portant questions placed before him on paper so that they may be examined at his leisure, though the very word is a miSnomer.
 No mind could retain all that Is said to the president in a single day, so 1t happens that MT. Wilson's desk Is al- ways piled high with papers. It ts a constant battle against a constantly ascending pile. Part of the mountain is made up of official papers and com- missions that merely require the presi- dents signature, small bills and resolu- tions that have passed congress. Writ Ing ones name hundred times is a monOtonous undertaking, but the presi- dent must do 1t literally thousands of times a week. - David Lawrence in Century Magazine.

FOOD WINS THE WAR DON'T WASTE IT
ALASKA'S FUEL STORE

From the PNoyideace lR. ID Joul
 The development oL the territory cf Alaska is likely to be favored by the fuel crisis, if it is not too soon over or its effects are mot quickly forgotten.
 Alaska the nations treasure house" has coal and oil, both iu abundance, though little is being taken ou: Of the ground. The uu- covered amount is uot easy Co cal culate, especially as ro oil. the geological signs of which require confirmation by actual drilling
 Since the War began copper has passed g2ld as the territorys most Yaluabl.j resource. The sudden need Tor the former metal in vast qualities has promoted mining on au unprecedented scale. So the urgent cau for fuel should give all impetus 10 coal and cil develop meut.
 The whole country. particularly, Ot course, the Pacific coast, is keen ly interested in the Alaska prospect. The Coast now imports" coal from the East. That is expensive. and besides coal is drawn from the At lanuc seaoOard which might be waited here ia a pinch, either for local consumption or. for shipping. And, as our experience this winter has warned us, efficient use of transportation facilities may be yital consideration. Chairman Pea body, o' the coal production com mitte2 Of the national council of de- f"nse, ,old a senate committee that shipping coal from the West Vir- ginia fields to California is "a most horrible misuse Of equipment" AL fhcuSh she Coast is an oil producing section, the astonishing statement is made that the supply has been drawn down by the var demand so that the Southern Pacific railroad, which has long used oil burning To- comOtiyes, has been compelled to go back b coal on parts Of its system.
 Accordingly at this time Alaska finds outside support in appealing to congress for legislation to pro mote the development of these na- tural resources. The Alaska bu- reau Of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce and Commercial Club has adopted resolutions praying for the ssactmeut of a policy that will encourage the prOspector and in- vita capital to pen up the fuel re- gIons OR ! scale commensurate with the prospect. In the East the idea prevails because the government is constructing a railroad to one of the coal fields that the problem is be- ing solved. The government enter prise will be useful, so far as it goes, but actually it does not touch the real problem. AS for oil, Al aska imports thousands of barrels annually for domestic consumption an extraordinary illustration of carrying coals to Newcastle.
 The ess& oG Alaska reflects a
