paired on account of the strenuous
day he had Sunday, his hearers were
with him from the time he announced
his proof texts until the plea for sin
ners to believe in Christ was made
The preacher discussed Heaven as
q place, taking as proof text Christ's
statement in the 14th chapter of
John, 81 go to prepare place for
you" Then Heavens inhabitants as
recorded in Revelation, chapter z,
beginning with verse nine, A great
company of white ROBBED victorious
people.
The third question asked by DR.
Dew was, shall we know each other
in Heaven? The proof text was the
TRANSPORTATION scene in Matthew
1874 When Peter recognized Moses
and Elijah who had been dead for
years.
The fourth argument was from the
experiences of dying men and women
who had seen and recognized depart
ed loved ones When the message
was ended there was hardly dry
eye in the great audience. A feature
of the evening meeting was the sing
ing of the songs descriptive of Heav

to our childhood and to the Little
Brown Church in the Vale" 1t was
service of great power and nearly all
the fourteen who found the church
were grown men and women.

peoples service which is being held

is in attendance.
Tonight the married men will be

Thursday and possible Friday.
East night the pastor, Rev. Wallace
Wear said he felt that all ought to
wire to petersburg, Va, the place of
DR.. Dew's next meeting, and ask for
few days more so that the work
here could be completed. Action of
the church will depend upon interest
for today and Wednesday.

WORLDS FIRST STEAM FERRY
Was Established by John Stevens in
1911, Running Between Hoboken
and New York.

The first ferry in the world was
established in 1911 by John Stevens be-
tween Hoboken and New York. TAX
ing up the study of steam in 1889, it
is recorded, he took out patents on ma
rine engines three years later, and
in 1898 completed his first boat, sue
cessfully operating 1t on the Hudson
river. In 1904 a second boat was
equipped with two screws, and the
style of propeller designed by him was
for many years preferred above later
inventions. Though this was the first
application of steam to the screw-prO-
peller, yet this design was the identi-
cal short, fOur-threaded screw used
today. 1t is remarkable that this form
of propulsion was not practically intro
duced until 1887. His original steam
boat also contained the first cOndens-
ing dOuble-acting engine ever made in
America, and a multi-tubular boiler.
In 1907 he built the sidewheel steam
boat Phoenix, which was a few days
behind Fulton's vessel in attaining the
legal speed, and was thus shut out
from the Hudson river; but he boldly
steamed her around to the Delaware
by sea, being the first to navigate
the ocean with the new motive power.

R. 0. 7. c. INSPECTOR.
EXPECTED HERE SOON

Formal inspection of the cadet bat
talon will occur on or about May
1st. Col. James G. Hanna, who is
the inspecting officer of the Dakotas,
Montana, Washington, Oregon, Utah,
and Idaho, will hold the inspection.
At this time the battalion will have
the opportunity of putting itself in
the distinguished class of R. 0. T. C.
units.
To be in the distinguished class
means a marked lift to the cadet bat
talon of the university. 1t mean
that from each graduating class in
the battalion there may be two stu
dents appointed to commissions in
the regular army. These students
would be designated by the command
ant and the president of the univer-
sity. Also the rank of cadets of a
battalion of this class would tend to
give them far greater prestige in

obtaining commissions in the state
militia.
The inspection, as usual, will likely
be concerned with the ordinary re-
quests of an inspecting officer acting
in the capacity which Col. Hanna has.
Outpost and advance guard problems
will very likely be given.
The spirit of the battalion in gen
eral is worthy of very favorable COM
ment, says Capt. Felker. An active
interest is being shown in signal work
in particular.

Word has reached the department
office that the large order Of equip

Old Roman Plumbers.

There were plumbers in ancient
Rome, and they knew their business
well. The great baths (most impor-
tant and extensive of all the public
buildings) were supplied with water
by elaborate piping systems. Along
the principal streets ran lines Of tall
pillars Of light construction, carrying
pipes through which running water
was supplied to the dwellings on Ell
ther side.
When the ancestors Of the present
day Germans had destroyed Rome,
and with 1t the Roman civilization, the
plumbing art was lost. 1t stayed lost
until within recent years, and now we
are reviving 1t with some strictly mod
ern improvements.

carrying out vigorous reorganiza-

every department ready for efficient

DR., Hill wide authority in adminis-
tratiye matters, and he has been sue
cessful in securing a number of very
able men as additions to the faculty.
The university equipment also is in
better shape than ever before. The
new engineering building is practi-
cally completed, and there has been
general remodeling Of the administra
ton building. The dormitories also
have been enlarged and refinished
throughout.
The enrolment is already consid
erably larger than two years ago be-
fore the war called into active service
practically all of the young men en-
rolled in the institution. One of the
gratifying features OF this years en-

nearly every undergraduate who en-
listed from the university for active
military duty has re-entered the uni
versity for the coming year.

NO REASON FOR A NEW
WAGE AGREEMENT FOR
MINERS AT THIS TIME

my NOTHING JOUR sAL PT~IpL LG,sEo wIREl
Buffalo. n, Y, Sept. 25.-The first
response of the soft coal operators to
the demands of the United Mine
Workers of America for a new wage
scale, effective November 1, with the
alternative of general strike on that
date, will be based on the argument
that the present Washington wage
agreement run for the duration of the
war or until April l, 1920, if the war
be not ended by that time and that
tehre is therefore, no reason to put
new scale into effect November /
This was learned from preliminary
statements of coal operators gathered
here for the joint wage scale confer
ence with representatives of the
miners from the four districts of
Ohio. Illinois, Indiana and western
Pennsylvania, constituting the central
competitive field. Their spokesman,
however. refrained from announcing
the attitude to be taken on the general
demands for the sixty per cent in
crease, six hour day, five day week
and other conditions formulated at
the Cleveland convention of the mine
workers.
