LOTOS CLUB DRINKS
DR.. DEPEW'S HEALTH
Man Of Many Birthdays, but
No Age, Is Showered With
Plaudits and Praise.
MEMBER FOR 45 YEARS
Guest Draws on Methuselall
for Newest Old Story Of
World Famous Series.

All the way back to Methuselah did
chauncey Mitchell Depew project his
mind last night In order to find n brand
new story exactly indicating his own
feelings when, emerging from a great
heap Of compliments that his friends
OF the Lotos Club showered upon him,
he stood up to speak at his eighty fifth
birthday dinner given by the club, of
which he has been a member forty-five
years.
81 am reminded" said the Senator
but the guests OF honor can wait a mo-
ment while a limerick perpetrated by
Nicholas Murray Butler. president OF
Columbia University. is reproduced here

we're played up and down the speakers

by no one more joyfully than the rising
Young barrister who was the centre OF
all the fun. This from DR.. Butler Che

authorship is more or less-probably
less--obscure)
There was a young man in ST. Louis
Who courted and wed a fair Jewess.
She was so blythe and gay
And had so much to say
That he called her his Chauncey Depewess."
And now for MethuseIan:
one wants to be complimented," said
Or. Depew, after he has passed into
this delightful period, upon his youth
full appearance. Having been on the
platform for sixty-three years and
spoken all over the country. I am met
on the streets everywhere by men and
women who say they heard me speak
thirty, forty. fifty or even sixty years
ago. ind that all they remember
about the speeches Is the stories that
I told, but what pleases me is that
they Invariably say, You haven't

smile. I should never have thought It.
You don't look a day over nine hun

Whereupon the member who had
been leading all the songs chirped
again:
For he's a Jolly good fellow.

HAS WON PLACE OF HONOR
Salvation Army's Work for Fifty-Four
Years Recognized as Worthy OF
the Highest Praise.

Except for the war the Salvation
Army would have celebrated its fiftieth
birthday four years ago, but there
could hardly have been a better re-
hinder of what the army had done
and become In half century than the
recent award of the Victoria Cross to
three Salvation Army soldiers for their
service in France. Fifty-four years
ago things were very different; the
first appearances of the salvationists
aroused opposition, rowdies tried to
break up the meetings. and on at least
one occasion members of the future
army were arrested in England as
"disturbers of the peace" Originally
simply an attempt to make converts
by outdoor preaching, the movement
which William Booth started In July.
1865, was put on military basis and
became the Salvation Army In 1878,
since which time it has grown from
IS corps In England to about 5000
corps and outposts in more than go
countries. The army was officially
recognized By King Edward VII when
he received the founder at Bucking-
ham palace In 1904; different yet re-
markable "official recognition" oc-
Cured quite recently when tableau
honoring the Salvation Army was made
the climax of the current "Ziegfeld
Follies" on Broadway.

REMAINS or ROMAN SHELTER
intensely interesting Discovery said
to Have Been Made In the
North Of England.

A lady member OF the Cumberland
and westmoreland Antiquarian so
ciety of England has had the good for
tune TO discover what is believed to be
a Roman bloomery, or ancient smeit-
ing furnace. Her attention was drawn
10 the place by the work OF noles,
which recently exposed some NJ the
remains, and again later by the burn
ing of the whins formerly concealing
the hearth and other features OF the
bloomery, near Forest How.
BY some exploration with a spade.
she traced the foundations Of a large
hearth, twelve yards In diameter. and
a number of heaps Of cinders, Stag
and ore: and she also turned up spec
linens OF Roman tiles. with pottery,
Stag and hematfte. The size Of the
hearth OF the Forest How bloomery
marks II as quite different from the
ordinary north-country medieval iron
furnaces, which run from seven TO
nine or ten feet In diameter. for the
one Just found Is twelve yards across.
This appears TO be worth further ak
ploration and probably money for that
purpose win be found.

Y. Nj. C. A. CAMPAIGN
SUCCESS

The campaign at the local "Y' has
been decided success according to a
statement made by Secretary Davis.
1t has not run as swiftly during the
first few days as some campaigns but
the men are doing better work each
day and as we go to press there is
every indication that the 1000 goal
will be easily reached by the time of
the evening report At the supper
last evening the total showed over
$50 and it was decidedly the most en-
thusiastic gathering yet experienced.
The boys memberships have not
come in as rapidly as in former cam
paigns but some fine work was done
Monday in the schools, which showed
up well in the days report and this
viii continue today with equally good
results, it is expected.
The raise in membership rates and
other difficulties which might have
been expected have not retarded the
progress to any appreciable degree
Business men have shown that they
appreciate the work of the local in
stitution by their support during the
past year and through the membership
campaign. Current expenses for the
fiscal year ending today have all been
paid and the future of the 'Y" is very
bright and promising. A big pro-
gram of activities is planned and will
begin at once in all departments. New

TAI SHAN A SACRED PLACE
Oldest Permanent Place of
Worship on Earth.

There are 1--WE sacred mountains In
China, and the most sacred Of all is
Tai Shan, the Great mountain. said to
be the oldest permanent place of wor-
ship In the world. In 1000 B. G. Tai
Shan's crest had been a regular scene
of sacrifices and prayers for nobody
knew how long. Emperors and lesser
officials. even Confucius the Wise,
journeyed up the long, narrow trail Of
Tai Shan to come near to the God Of
Heaven and Earth and made their
prayers before Him.
Since those days Of simple worship,
many temples and shrines have been
built on Tai Shan's slopes. Buddhism,
Taoism, Confucianism, all are repre-
scented, and there are temples, too, to
the Lady of the Mountain, who is
called by some fairy, by others a
goddess, and by others the spirit
or soul of the mountain. Whatever
her character, the lady Is well repre-
scented on her mountain top and her
shrines are popular.

WANT TRACKS LAID IN
CENTER OF THE STREET

The village of Schofield has COM
m enced proceedings against the Wis
consin Valley Electric company to at
tempt to force the company to place
its lnterurban line in the center of the
street rather than on the side as it
now is. When the street railway was
constructed it was arranged by the
company and the village, after mature
consideration to have the lines run
on the east side of the street giving
the travelling public the entire road for
travel. 1t was then supposed to be
the very best thing to do for all con-
cerned. Now the trustees of the vii
lage have passed an ordinance re-
curing the tracks of the company to
be changed to the center of the street
The matter no doubt, will be taken
to the circuit court, should the village
win, the expense to the Wisconsin
Valley Electric company will be very
great
The street railway has been a great
convenience and a help to the people
OF Schofield. 1t has built up its vii
lage, made it possible to come to the
city and return home any time from
a. m. until IL o'clock at night. The
people of Schofeld would not be with
out the street cars, if they could help
it. Yet, we suppose they have fully
considered the great trouble to which
the company would be put, and the
tremendous expense if it was forced
to change its tracks, but it might be
such thing as forcing the company
to discontinue the operation of the
railway there. At Merrill the COM
pany offered the lines to the city
without cost, if it would operate them.
Wausau, cannot expect any extensions
to the street car lines in the city,
without concessions are made and
Wausau will never be any more of a
ely than it now is without street car
service and lines reaching to the city
limits in every direction.
Schofield is highly favored for hav-
ing the line pass through it's village
Under present conditions, when street
cars are being run at loss, too many
distractions may result in looping off
part of the system. For the good of
our city and those living south of
Wausau, it is hoped that this will not
happen.

PETITIONS THE r. r. COM
MISSION TO ADJUST RATES

Recently the Wisconsin Valley Elec-
trio company petitioned the State
Railroad Commission to adjust its
rates. AS it is the company furnishes
the power for the lighting and power
of Wausau, Stevens Point, Mosinee,
Merrill, Marathon and Edgar. AS the
company has extended its lines year
by year, there has not been uni
formity of prices. 1t is the desire of
the company to adjust these and make
them uniform, charging more, where
it is evident the price should be higher
and the lower the rates in other in
stances. On the whole, the changes
will about even up with what the
company is getting at the present
time
1t is the opinion that the new sched-
ule will be satisfactory to all in
terested
The Pilot publishes the new sched-
ule in full on another page in this
issue and those directly interested
should read it over carefully and, if
further information is wanted, it will
be cheerfully given at the offices of

The hearing will be held in Madison
on the 18th of October.
