Consul nt Anioy, China, Sny Spreml
I Hap Id and Fatalities
Are Aiuialllna.
WASHINGTON, July 8. Consul Johnson
at Amoy, China, reports to the secretary of
state tbo appearance ot plague at that
place two weeks earlier than usual this
year. Ills statement Is dated May 14. He
nays he has refused to permit Chinese
steerage passengers to depart for Manila
and adds:
"The spread of plaguo during the last
ten days has been rapid and the fatalities
most appalling. It Is my opinion, based on
trie most reliable data from native sources,
that during the week Just closed there were
as many as 100 doaths per day In Anioy
and Its suburbs. The same condition of
affairs exists In surrounding cities within
thirty miles of Amoy."
Tbo representative of tbo marine hospital
service at Hong Kong aleo reports tho
earlier appearance of tho disease in that
city and a more rapid spread than usual.
He says that several Europeans have been
attacked.
Salt Rheum 1
f You may call it eczema, tetter or milk
crust.
But no matter what you call It, this skin
disease which comes In patches that burn,
Itch, discharge a watery matter, dry and
scale, owes Its existence to the presence ot
humors in the system.
It will continue to exist, annoy, and per
haps agonize, as long as these humor
remain.
It is alwayi radically and permanently
cured by
HootTm Sarmmpmrlllm

unequalled for all cutaneoui eruptions.

WORLD'S FAIR AT ST. LOUIS
Lonliltns, Farohtu Expiiitiea Btgini U
Takt oa DifiniU Shapt.
LINES CAST FOR A DIRECTOR GENERAL
Howard Elliott' or BurlltiKton Hnll
road la Under Consideration
Problem I'reaanted by
Park Site.
ST. LOUIS, July 8. President David R.
Francis of tho Louisiana Purchase Exposi
tion company returned from the east
today and tomorrow will take up tho
world's fair Work with the executive aud
other committees that will be called to
gether. The selection of a director, gen
oral has not been mad,c and the appoint
ment Is looked forward to with Interest.
Wlljlam I. Duchanan, who holds a like
position with the Uuffalo exposition,) Is no
longer considered, owing to his disinclina
tion to engage further in exposition work
Corwln II. Spencer ot this city has, It is
Bald, also declined to bocome a candidate
According to a member of the organization
commlttse, Howard Elliott, general man
ager ot the Burlington linos In Missouri
is bolng favorably considered In that con
ncction.
Isaac S. Taylor, chief architect of the
Louisiana Purchase exposition, received a
letter today from John Oirrore, New York
architect, accepting the appointment on
tho architectural commission. Similar
letters have been received from other mem
bers ot the commission. Mr. Taylor said
today:
"A strong commission has been selected
and tho members show a determination to
enter upon their duties with spirit and
enthusiasm. The first meeting of tho com
mission will be held tomorrow In tho
Planters' hotel.
"After tho gathering we can tell better
what the fair is going to be like. It wilt
represent no man's Idea or eccentricity,
but the combined wisdom and experience
of the entire board.
"The problem presented by the Forest
park site differs from any yet encountered
in building a world's fair, with the slnglu
exception of the Centennial In l'hlladel
phla, which was a comparatively small
affair. '
"Instead of a level plain, upon which to
group the principal buildings about a cen
tral court, wo have a rolling and uneveu
surface. The grading ot the site down to
a common level Is, of course, out ot the
question.
"Wo must tnko tho ground as It Is and
by utilizing its natural advantages
world's fair can be created there whose
equal for beauty has never been seen.
"The task is a difficult one and there aro
many things to be taken into consideration
One Is the question of perspective. The
buildings must look well to tho visitor who
stands in the highest part of the park as
won as to the ono who stands in tho loweit
portion."
Frederick W. Ituckstuhl of . Now York,
secretary of tho National Association of
Sculptors, has been selected as advisor to
the commission of architects on matters of
sculpture, an indication that he. will later
be made director of sculpture of the Louisi
ana Purchase exposition.
Anlntnnt Secretary to Hela;n.
NEW YORK, July 8.-The Washington
correspondent of the Herald is authority
for the statement that Frank W. Hackett
will tender his resignation an assistant

been suggested as his successor.

ENDEAVORERS BUSIEST DA!

SOME PROMINENT SPEAKERS ARE HEARD
TreiiMircr Nlinw, Hlchnrd Lewi of

Knthunlnstlu AddreRtfea.
CINCINNATI, July 8. Perfect weather
today greeted the thousands ot Chrtstlau
Endcavortrs who are assembled here In
their twentieth annual convention. The
registration clerks wore kept busy until
late at night registering tho new arrivals.
The program na arranged by tho commit
tee made today the great day of tho con
vention. Meetings were many and en
thusiastic. Tho cooler weather seemed to
have an Invigorating effect, on the Bndeav
orers and the services ot many were
gladly accopted on noonday evangelical
work which assigned them to small revival
meetings on street corners In the tenement
and manufacturing districts. The music
hall audltoriumo wore In use durlug the
morning, noon and evening, the historic
walls reverberating alternately to Joyous
hosannas of the thousands and words of
praise and prayer of tho speakers.
The chief topic of Interest at the meet
Ing today was the oxtempuraneous talk at
tho Central Christian church ot Itev. Q
Campboll Morgan ot Baltimore, who Is roc
ognlzed among the church workers as the
logical successor ot the lato evangelist, Dr.
Dwlght L. Moody.
The Junior Endeavorers met at the First
Lutheran church, where Treasurer William
Shaw of Boston was the principal speaker.
Hour to Hold the Iloy.
William Shaw of Doston spoke of "How
to Hold the Roy." He said In part:
"Win his friendship In any legitimate
way. Don't be forever saying 'Don't!' Do
give him something to do. Remember that
boys aro hero worshipers, that they admire
masterful mcu and women, that letting
them have their own way docs not win
them, that a firm hand and a warm heart
aro absolutely necessary.
"Don't be goody, goody. Don't have the
hero of all your Illustrations a beautiful,
sweet little girl, (live the boy a chance
to win, even If ho is homely and rough
and a trifle unconventional. Don't be
afraid ot a little noise and restlessness; it
Is a sign ot lite. Direct It and use It
rather than simply try to suppress It. Don't
always blame the boy for your lack of
ability to Interest him. Don't let him grow-
up with the idea that only women ore In
terested In religious work. If thn Junior
superintendent Is a woman get a man bo
foro the society once In a while, but be
sure he Is a nun. If after you have done
your best you still find that the boys will
not come with the little girls then organize
a boy3' Junior society with athletic and
other features, as well as prayer meeting
and bible work. Do something, anything,
everything, but hold the boys, for they are
the coming men."
Afternoon' Largest Meeting.
Tho big meeting of the afternoon was
held In Auditorium Endeavor, whero
George n. Graff of Uoston presided, with
Percy S. Foster of Washington, D. C as
musical director. Devotional exercises
were conducted by Rev; Curtlss of Barclay,
Md. Rev. C. Lee Gaul of Philadelphia
spoke on "A" Century More of Christian En
'dcavfer Tlcdged"' and George .If. ,NJc of
AbcVdeen, Wash., told of "Ofnccrs that
Keep Things Moving."
Henry H. Marcusson of Chicago, the next
speaker, evolved somo "new committee
Ideas for tho next centuty" In an open
parliamentary session in which many sug
gestions were received from thoso In the
audience. J. M. Warren or Santa Dnrhara,
Cal., turned his topic, "What Arc tho Ele
ments of a Strong Socloty," Into a Blmllar
open discussion.
The mooted question among tho Endeav
orers, '"The Honorary Member," "was han
dle'd by Rev. W. U Darby of. Klrksvllle,
Mo., who recommended that young mem
bers be elected to fill offices and that tho
older onoa bo relegated to n rear but active
seat. ' Dr. Ernest Drown of Cleveland, O.,
spoke of "Lookout Committees that Look
Out." On them, ho eatd, the very life of
the organization depends.
William R. Moody of Northfleld, Mass.,
son of tho evangelist, Dwlght L. Moody,
expatiated on "Your Tostlraony in tho
Meeting," which ho said should always
come from tho heart and bo freely given.
Edwin S. Shaw of Wnhpeton, N. Di, kept
the Endeavorers laughing at his wit while
he told of tho "Pastors that Lead."
At Auditorium Willi. ton.
Tho fair sex predominated In Auditorium
Wllllston at the afternoon meeting, Prof.
Joseph Lewis of Lexington, Va., having It
In charge. F. H. Jacobs of Brooklyn led
the chorus and music. The meeting was
labeled "Tho Twentieth Century Christian
Endeavor Society" and It, too, was largely
devoted to an open parliamentary session.
President Francis Clark of Boston gave
his ideas of "Advanced Stops for tho New
Year."
"Tho Training of Our Successors" was
treated by Miss Margaret Cooke of Water
vllle, Me. W. II. Bell of Philadelphia con
ducted the open parliament, whllo E. Q.
Routzahn of Dayton, O., told "What Can
Be Done with Good Literature." Alexander
E. Matheson ot Janesvllle, Wis., explained
"Social Committees that Are Social," while
"Tho Meney Side of It" was discussed In
open parliament by John Henry Stauft of
Pittsburg, Pa.
Fledge In the New Century.
Rev. J. Edward Klrble of Charleston, S.
C, spoke of "What Our Pledge May Mean
In the New Century." He sold:
"The Christian Endeavor pledge Is on
probation no longer. Pastors and workers
havo had time to test Its practicability,
We have noted whether It was a barrier or
a blessing to the young people. I havj
seen young men and young women without
Christian stability, timid, scarcely ablo nt
flrst to read a verse of scripture, learn to
pray and speak Intelligently and it was
plainly evident that there was a develop
ment ot tho spiritual faculty as well and
more of a likeness to Christ. . If we want
to produce the most Intelligent type ot
ploty that the world has ever seen let' us
Insist on fidelity to the requirements of
the pledge."
"Tho Way to Make Christian Endeavor
ers" was, seriously discussed by Rev. R.
V. Hunter of Indianapolis. Rev. William
H. Pcnhallegon of Decatur, III., spoko on
"Graduating Into the Twentieth Coutury
Church."
Forward Look of Kndrmorer.
Rev. R. W. Lewis of Colorado spoke of
"The Forward Look of Christian En
deavor." He Bald;
"Finally winning the world Christ should
absorb us as never before. In tho home
land and In the foreign fields that great
divine arm of salvation must bo revealed.
Shall we not resolve that as part of our
twentieth century service for Christ and
the church wo shall say to the Lord, 'Here
am I; send me'? Do not let us lose sight
ot the fundamental facts In the propaga
tion of Christianity that so far God has
generally used saved people through whom
to each the unsaved. It la gratifying to note
how Urge a part Endeavorers have taken
In the churches, witnessing for Christ
throughout their minority. Now that we
are 'of age' shall we not come to an un
derstanding that our united society and all
our component societies exist primarily and
principally for the purpose of rescuing tho
perishing? On all sides sin Is seen mar
shaling Its forces, strengthening Itself and
fortifying Its territory. Common attacks
with ordinary arms will nover defeat the
mighty foes of this Inteuso century. The
army of flesh can never win tho day. To
your tents, oh, Endeavorers of the requisite
qulot-hour' arm that God gives and then
spring forth Into the battle against the
giant forces of darkness. Christ Is our
captain general and He leads. God will
give us the victory through tho strength of
Ills right arm.'
Some Incidental Meeting".
Tho local district and Btatc ofllcers met
during the day and discussed business, as
also did the preachers, who held an ex-
cluslvo session In Auditorium Endeavor
lato in the afternoon.
The prison workers conferred In the Cen
tral Christian church nnd the mission
workers In the Second Presbyterian church.
Between f, and 6:30 p. m. President Clark
received personally all cndcAvorcrs who
havo been members for ten years and
longer. The reception took place In tho
Odeon, adjoining the musls hall auditorium,
and hundreds took the opportunity to meet
Dr. Clark.
Jacob A. Rlls of New York, the re
porter slum reformer, who was to have
delivered a talk tonight nt the Lincoln
Park Institutional Baptist church on "The
Battlo with the Slums," was unable to bo
present, owing to Illness. P. O. Berncr'of
Buffalo, who was to address the Oerntan
Christian Endeavorers, also was unable to
come.
Itnlly ' Iteranrkaltlr.
The rally in Auditorium Endeavor this
eventng was In many respects the most re
markable of the convention. Tho principal
speakers wore Hon. S. B. Capcn of Boston
and Rev. Charlas M. Sheldon of Topeka,
Kan, Long beforo the hour set for the
meeting tho Immense auditorium? with its
seating capacity ot over 0,000, was packed
and the ushers forced to close and bar the
doors In the faces of the clamorous crowd.
President Francis. Clark presided and Percy
S. Foster ,of Washington led tho great
chorus. Mr. Capcn was Introduced amid
a vehement demonstration.' He spoko of
"The Christian Endeavorcr's Duty In Mu
nlclpal Politics." Ho said:
"Government In America Is practically
shaped In the caucus. For tho Christian
man the primary meeting should be as sa
cred an appointment as the place of prayer
and It the Christian mcu ot the community
at almost any election would take the Inter
est they might get good men nominated
No Christian Endeavorer should ever forget
to cast his ballot on the day of election
Lot every Endeavorer place first in his
thought the morai character of the man for
whom he votes. Government In America Is
now and has always been by parties and
these nro a hecesslty. But a man Is re
leased from all obligations If his party fle
lects somo candidate of doubtful character.
Lot us make our protest at this point by
bolting tho ticket. It has seemed to bo
for many years that the only way we can
save our cities and our nation U to make
this work a religious movement of Christian
men of every sect, without any distinction
whatsoever. This Is but a return to a part
of our religion which has beon neglected."
Clarenco E. Kberman of Pennsylvania, the
nowly elected financial secretary, was In
troduced. In view of his resignation as
president of -the Pennsylvania union, the
Pennsylvania delegates had spread around
tho hall a card bearing tho legend: "Penn
sylvanla's Joss, United Societies' gain. Wo
pledge our hearty support to tho new field
secretary.
Clnrk Bntliraeen Kliermnn.
Tha cardrpcjijksted that the audience. arise
and recite- those words. Mr. Eherma.n was
taken compittcly by surprise, as was, also
President fclajrk',, who embraced 'him, with
tears In his eyes,
Then" followed tho most profound Incident
of the convention. Mr. F. II. Jacobs' of
Brooklyn arose from amid, tho aea of faces
In the chorus to ting: "Will There Bo Any
Stars In Your Crown?" Before he began
be .said:
"At the conclusion of my hymn I would
have dllence, no encore, no demonstration
but Jet tho words of the song engrave
themselves In your hearts In silence." In
stantly the big hall bocame as quiet as a
tomb nnd he began. His rich voice
alone was heard nnd down among his
hearers teari- came to many eyes us
there was generated In 5,000 breasts such
a boundless sea of enthusiasm that Its dying
echoes were only heard as the last of the
Endeavorers sought their nightly retreats
He llntshed and for a long moment there
was silence and then somo enthusiast ap
plauded, which wos Instantly taken up, only
to be again repressed by tho powerful pres
ence of President Clark, who exhorted si
lence.
Sheldon on Dnlly Paper.
Rev. Sheldon was Introduced and was
enthusiastically received. Ho spoke of
"The Dally Paper of tho Twentieth Con
tury." He did not assume, he said, that
there were no' good dally papers. Neither
did he assume that the presn was hostile
to suggestions which simply had for their
object the possible bettering of Journalism,
but ho did assume that there was a very
large and undeveloped field open to the
dally press which was not at present culti
vated.
A marked featuro of the paper should
be, he said, prohibition and another fea
turo the promlncnco given to tho work
done by Christian missionaries. Tho paper
should also take very largo account of the
social movements of the times. The stand
Ing question In Its business and editorial
management should be "What Is tho bCBt
thing for the best Interests of the city?
What will promoto the welfare and happi
ness and morality of the entire family?"
He asserted that goodness Is news end
could be made to be Intensely Interesting
news. Another Urge cause that the dally
should champion Is the question of tho
Sunday that America ought to have. Casn
without character, he said, was poverty;
and the nation would not have character
unless It preserved a Christian Sabbath.
Tho commercial Interests of tuls republic
he said, wero playing to the tremendous
Interests at stake In tho matter ot char
acter and moral Rrowth of the people and
tho dally paper which acknowledged this
fact nnd made it prominent would be the
paper that should hold the place of the
highest honor among the people who lovo
tho republic.
He expressed the hope that In somo way
the Christian Endeavor organization would
be tho means ot establishing such an
organ for rlghteousuess In more than one
groat city In this country. The possibilities
for such journalism, ho said, wore big
with Christian ambition. If the Christian
young people would unite their efforts they
could establish such papers In every large
center of population and they would prove
to be mighty sources of real power In
snaping tne future aesuny or mis re
public.
Tbo enthusiasm reached Its height aftor
the adjournment, when the delegates and
thoso present boarded their cars. They
took possession and with hymns floating
out Into the night air were transported to
their homes and domiciles, still singing,
still enthusiastic.
Dixon on Snlonn Problem.
The meeting In the Auditorium Wllllston
was also an enormous one, nearly 4,000 at
tending. Rev. W, II. McMillan of Alls
gheny. Pa., presided, with H. C, Lincoln of
Philadelphia a musical director. P, 6
Henson of Chicago, tha first speaker, spoke
on "The Power of the Pen." Rev. Frank
Dixon of Hartford, Conn,, spoke ot "The
Saloon Problem of the Twentieth Century."
He said:
"Tho principle for which 1 contend Is
rational and Just. It Is this: Find out by
patient, scientific, Impartial Investigation
the burden of taxation and charges cntalltd
by tho saloon upon the community and bind
that burden upon tbo back ot the saloou,
even though it breaks It. If the present
license Is too high, If the saloon pays more
Into the public treasury than It takes out
of tho pockets oi tho sober people of a
community tho snloou keeper Is suffering
Injustice. Ills tax uught to he reduced, It
tho license Is not sufficient to pay tho ex
penses which the public now bears through
taxation and chnrges let It bo raised to tj.o
requisite point. This will have an elevat
ing eftoct upon the saloon keeper. He
Ing effect greater self-respect by paying
his own expenses.
"This wilt be the solution ot the problem
of the twentieth century city. It will be
effective because It avoids the difficulties
which havo rendored tempernnce reforms
hitherto 30 largely nugatory. It demol
ishes the strongholds within which men
havo hidden themselves. It will not
drive them Into the open, but It will com
pel them to part with tho spoils they have
wrested from the hands of Industry. This
solution will preserve the principle of per
sonal liberty nnd give It universal nppllcn
tlon. The liberty of the citizen who wlshe.s
to Indulge his appetite Is not restricted,
but tho liberty of the sober man who does
not wish to pay the bill of tho drunkard Is
protected. It may seem revolutionary to
assert tho rights of the sober, Industrious
man, but this man will make himself heard
In the twcntloth century."
There are 200 delegates at the German
Endeavorers' convention In the Zlon Ger
man Evangelical church. Among tho
speakers today were Anton Ilocsch of St
Louis, Prof. W. F. W. Schneider of Bcrea,
O., and T. G. Rctzlor of St. Louis.

LONDON, July 8. The Mark Lano Ex
press, In Its weekly crop review today, eays
It Is doubtful If the recent rains will effect
great "transformation scenes" In tbo wheat,

reach an average of 2&Vt bushels per acre
The Express considers that the enhanced

estimate.
Spain Is reaping a magnificent harvest,

EDUCATORS START IN WORK
Members of National Council Declare
Much of Home Influence
la Had.
DETROIT, Juiy 8. A meeting of the Na
tional Council of Education in Young Men's
Christian association hall this forenoon and
tho first session ot education In Central
Methodist Episcopal church opened tho for
tieth nnnual convention of the National
Educational association. Tho first session
of the general body will not be held until
tomorrow afternoon.
At the afternoon session Elmer E. Brown
of the University of California read a paper
on "Educational Progress During the Past
Year,"
Elmer E. Drown of the University of
California told of "Educational Progress
During the Past Year." Ho said:
The characteristic word of progress dur
ing tho past year has been expansion.
Educational expansion has been the ac
companiment of political nnd Industrial ex
pansion. The great accumulators of wealth
nave been giving largely to educational
Institutions. These great benefactions have
ralssd anew tho qucNtlnn of liberty or
teaching. It Is commonly believed that In
the Ross case at Stanford university such
liberty of teaching win ubrldged. But It
should be remembered in nil piich cases that
a university, like other Institutions, must
take account of the co-operative uselul
ness of Its members, It Is doubtful
whether there Is any general or serlni
danger threatening real and reasonable
academic freedom. The discussion of
scientific temperance Instruction hns
brought forward the question of freedom
of teaching In another form. I'nlversltles
are concerning themselves Increasingly with
the sclentltlc content of Instruction lu the
lower BchoolK, nnd with the preparation of
teachers for thoce nrhooln.
New educational movements In tho south
are closely bound up with political and In
dustrial changes. The negro I making
IiIn own contribution to the solution of .the
problem and the TUHkcgee school has been
one of the renters of educational Interest
during the year.

Swallowing
A sword is a trick not conducive to
health or longevity. Hut it is not more
injurious than the hasty swallowing of
half masticated food washed down by
gulps of ice water
in summer or qups
of hot coffee in win
ter. Hasty eating
is the foe of health.
Sooner or later it
must result in in
digestion or some
other form of stom
ach disease.
