ST. MARKS CHURCH
ANNUAL MEETING
REVIEW OF WORK OF BUSY YEAR
OPTICAL BODY SELECTED
FOR NEXT YEAR

At the annual meeting Of the con-
| gregation of st. Marks, steps were ia
ken to make the mission district of
Moscow into an independent parish
care of the business of the church.

Bolding, R. S.. Butterfield, Mrs. Howard
Lewis (president Of Ladies' Guild,
Mrs. I. w. Cook treasurer of Ladies'
Guild.
Dean Thomson in a brief and point
ed address spoke of the Importance of
maintaining the moral and spiritual
work of the church in war time. The
rector urged the congregation to think
in the offensive, claiming people
needed the stimulus of organized re-
ligion just now more than at any prev
ious time. He was optimistic as re-
CARDS the future and believed that
when the church had learned to ex-
press its message in scientific and
modern terms, as it was fast learn
ing to do, it would find no difficulty
in drawing serious and thinking minds
to itself.
Sincere regret was expressed at the
prospective departure of Mrs. AS
pray from Moscow. Mrs. Aspray had
been a most devoted worker for many
a in st. Marks church.

Four Women and a Bear.

Discovering a big black bear at the
mouth of q cave while on a fishing trip
with their husbands, Mrs. o. Hartman,
Mrs. Guy Henderson, Mrs. A. Bassett
and Mrs. George Chadwick threw rocks
at the animal until it retired into the
cave, and the remaining three then
kept guard while the fourth summoned
the men.
The party was without a gun, but
after several hours an ancient musket
was borrowed at a ranch several miles
away. Meanwhile the women continued
on guard, and whenever the bear at
tempted to emerge from the cave they
drove him back with showers of stones.
Armed with the musket, Bassett
crawled to the mouth of the cave and,
aiming at the bears right eye, fred.
The musket burst without damage to
Bassett and the bullet struck the bear
in the left flank, inflicting q wound
which caused death.
The bear is one of the largest of the
black variety ever killed in this region.

Where Turgenev Did Early Work.

The estate of the Russian novelist,
Ivan Turgenev, which is reported to
have been sacked by peasants, lies
In the low, marshy country of the gov
eminent state of Toula. Some of the
writer's early work was produced there
though toward the end of his life Tur-
genev spent the greater part of his
time in Baden-Baden or Paris and
scarcely visited Russia. The influence
of his home, with its beautiful, prosper
GUS estates and h~ard-driven peasantry,
was never quite forgotten by him, and
toward the muzhiks especially-the pa
rents, probably, of those who have
just wrecked his property-he had
always an active sympathy. The
neighboring capital town Of Toula,
set in the midst of agricultural lands,
was constituted a gun factory by the
Gar Boris Godunov, and still devotes
itself to the making of army rifles.

sIGNIFIcANcE oF ARMY RANK
Explanation Concerning the Insignia
Of Various officers That ls More
or Less Romantic.

Because gold Is a more precious
metal than silver, not a few civilians
confess ignorance of the reason for
gold bars on a second l~ieutenant's
shoulder straps and silver bars on
those of a first lieutenant. Through
out the rank of army insignias gold
appears to be subordinated. Moss
Officers Manual explains the sig
nificance:
"The second lieutenant stands on
the level ground, looking up to his
superiors at varying attitudes above
him. He begins to climb toward the
top, his first step being the lower bar
Of the fence, which position is typiied
by the one bar of the first lieutenant.
Upon reaching the top of the fence the
officer wears two bars, which repre-
sent the bottom and top bars of the
fence, from which point he can now
as captain survey the field. From the
fence, the officer must climb to the
branches of the oak, the tree of might
and strength. 1t is a long climb and
symbolizes the marked difference that
exists between the company and the
field officer. The gold leaf on the
majors shoulder strap symbolizes this
position. The next step is to the tall
est tree of the forest, the straight, tow
erlng, silver poplar, with no branches
for many feet from the ground. AL
though this point of vantage is some
what higher than that of the oak. 1t
is not materially so, and the duties
and responsibilities of the position are
about the same. The officer is now
among the silver leaves of the poplar,
which fact is typifed by the silver
leaf of the lieutenant colonel. The
silver eagle of the colonel symbolizes
the bird that scars over the top of
the towering poplar. The next step is
the greatest of all: To the stars up
in the armament, far, far above the
eagles flight, which position is typi-
fed by the star OF the general Off
GERS shoulder strap"
This description of the significance
of our insignia of rank, is, of course,
merely a romantic explanation.

Resurrection of Old Roman Port.

OstSa, the harbor of ancient Rome,
Is once more, by decision of the italian
government, to become a port, and
city. To the harbor at Ostia, when
Rome was mistress Of the world, came
the corn from Sicily and Sardinia,
which, after Tibet silt and national in
dolence had let Ostia perish, was stored
at Portus, the rival harbor, which also
afterward fell into desuetude. 1t was
the seizure Of Rome's granary which
enabled Alaric to impose his will on
the Eternal city. Ostla began its exis-
tence in $40 B. c., and she seems about
to add another chapter to her history.

CHIEF RAILROAD DETECTIVE

William J. Flynn, for more than 20
years in the United States secret serv-
ice until his retirement as it's chief at
the beginning of this year, has been
appointed by William G. McAdoo to be
head Of the railroad administration
detective force, having Jurisdiction
over all the railroads in the nation.
Except for six months in 1910-1911,
when Mr.. Flynn recognized the de-
tective bureau of the New York police
department with the rank of second
deputy police commissioner, his connec-
ton with the secret service had been
continuous from 1897 until last jan
uary. He was appointed chief of the
service in 1912, which position he re-
signed because of friction between his
department and the department Of JUS
tice.
Mr.. Flynn has a reputation as q
detector of crime which is more spec
tacular and involves more important
work than that Of any other detective
