The New York Presbytery proposes to lump all Its church debts In the metropolis, amounting to 8x,000, and pay them off with a united effort. John A. McCall, president- of the New York Late insurance company, win pre sent a toO.000 pulpit to the Roman Oathollj cathedral of the Immaculate Conception In Albany, N. Y. According to Rev. Dr. Talmage Solomon was the founder of the first socinty for thj prevention of cruelty to animals when he said. In Proverbs: A righteous man re gardeth the life of his beast." Rev. Arthur Chllson, one of the prom inent ministers of the Friends denomina tion of Iowa, has just started for East Africa, where he will establish a mission for the Friends' church of the state of Iowa. Mrs. Plant, widow of the millionaire Henry Plant, and her stepson, Morton f Plant, are considering the giving of the big Tampa Bay hotel, at Tampa, Fla., to he converted Into a Jesuit college. They will endow the college with il.lAjO.uuO. Hlflhop Fowler not long ago said to six young preachers who hud Just -been ad mitted to the New York conference: "If rou can't preach a good sermon steal one hat Is good from some other Methodlat and confess It afterward." Hy a curious coincidence on the same day Hlahnp Joyce, also a Methodist, also addressed some young preachers In Elizabeth, N. J., and gave them this advice: "Write your own sermons; don't buy any. Do your own thinking." Thinker or thief seems to be the question. A bmnze statue of the late Rlshop Mat thew Hlmison was unveiled and dedicated on Wednesday In the presence of about 600 persons on the grounds of the Methodlat Episcopal Home for the Aged, In Philadel phia. The statue, which Is nine feet In height. Is mounted upon a granite pedestal of the same height. The statue Is a part of a massive monument which had been de. termlned upon In lix4 to commemorate the war of the rebellion. Hiahop Simpson was one of the truated advisers of President Lincoln during the civil war period, and hla statue was to be among those of a number of representative men to be grouped about tne president. It sppears from statistics recently gath ered that the Protestant Episcopal church la the only Protestant denomination that has grown In New York City In relative proportion to the growth of the city. For Instance, In Brooklyn the Episcopalians have grown In ten years from forty-five churches and 17.362 members to fifty-seven churches and 80.714 members, no other de nomination making anything like the same gain. In Manhattan the Episcopalians nave, since lttTo. more than doubled In membership, while the Methodists, the Baptists and the Presbyterians have gained very little. One ot the reasons given for this Is the greater liberality In expenditure on the part of Aha Episcopalians. They nsve raisea targe sums lor new muri nes. lur mutsious a&cuiur tumca luaawueiu. STORING FOOD FOR WINTER Big Packers Putting Away All Sort of Perishable ProriBions. IMMENSE PROFITS IN COLD STORAGE F.e, Batter, Meats, Vegetables and Frnlts Kept from Season to Sea son and Sold When Signs Are Prepltloas. The struggle for the control of the eggs of the country has become the fiercest In the whole range of farm products. Every corner of the western states Is being searched for eggs by agents for Swift A Co., Armour aV Co. and a few smaller deal ers who have capital enough to enable them to compete with these leaders of the provision world. The price which these firms are willing to pay Is being pushed up day by day and the prospects of un heard of high prices for cold storage eggs next fall and winter become stronger with every advance in the price paid to the farmers today, says the Chicago Record Herald. One Chicago dealer who has been gladly paying 154 to 154 cents to farmers for eggs received word from two country rep resentatives yesterday that Swift A Co. were bidding half a cent a dozen better and that this advance would have to be met if more eggs were wanted. Swift sV Co. stole a march on Armour A Co. at the beginning of the egg storage season five weeks ago, according to the story among commission merchants and got a good start. Slxteen-cent eggs now means eggs at more than 20 cents next winter. The carrying changes in the cold storage warehouses range from a cent to a cent and a third a dozen for ordinary care until January 1. Special care to the eggs may bring the cost as high as S cents a dozen. To this must be added the profit to the speculator and the profit to the wholesale distributer and wholesale dealer. Despite every effort It Is not believed that over 600,000 cases of eggs will be ob tained for storage In Chicago this year. The amount already put away Is estimated at from 150,000 to 176,000, and the best weeks of the season are already over. There were stored 600,000 caees last year. Each case has thirty dozen eggs, making a total of 18,000,000 dozen. They coat 11 or 12 cents a dozen, and sold at 19 and 20 cents and even more. The estimated average profit of 33H per cent would amount to close to $1,000,000 and that leaves warehouses outside of Chicago entirely out ot considera tion. Season of Activity. This particular season of the year la one at which eggs are going into cold storage and chickens are coming out. And for both eggs and chickens the prices that the con sumer has to pay have been on the average higher this month than in any April in the past that commission merchants can re member. The huge cold storage ware houses stand as the most important factors in the provision market, conditions which are responsible for the present excessive prices. There la hardly any article of perishable food used on dinner tables In Chicago, which does not have its special corner in a cold storage warehouse. Hundreds of thousands of beef, sheep and pig carcasses are stored away In the freezers. Butter enough to spread all the bread in the country for day after day can be found frozen solid In the great warehouses. Pota toes by thousands of car loads, celery, on ions, cabbage and beans, apples and Cali fornia fruits ot all kinds are to be found there. One of the most recent novelties in the way of egg storage Is the method of fill ing palls full of the whites and yolks and freezing the mass solid. At the Armour and Swift storage plants at the stockyards hundreds of men are busy breaking eggs into palls. As fast aa the pails are filled tbey are carried into the freezing rooms, where they are kept until taken out In the fall and winter for the use of the Na tional Biscuit company, the independent bakeries and the restaurants which need them in cooking on a large scale. Anybody who cares to estimate what Im mense profits the three firm of Armour, Swift and Priebe A Simeter have made on chickens this past year can get some Idea of it from the estimate of the size of their holdings made by Independent South Water street merchants. These well Informed men put the amount that the three firms now hold at 600,000 cases of about 100 pounds each, or 60,000,000 pounds. This Is saying nothing at. all of the stock already sold off. Broilers went Into storage Isst spring at 8 and 9 cents a pound and found a ready sale all winter at 18 to 20 cents. Roasteis. which are chickens from three and one-half to five pounds, were bought up at the hoi! day time at 8 and 7 cents a pound and were sold at IS cents. If the average profit was 6 cents a pound after paying storage ex penses the profit on even the amount of chickens still in storage would run into the millions. And the housewife and the father of the family pay It ail. Potatoes Are Favorites. The Armour cold storage plant at the stockyards alone is capable ot handling thirty-five carloads of potatoes. Potatoes are a favorite speculation for the big man Ipulatore of produce and the latest market reports show them to have climbed above fl a bushel, an unheard of price. When It comes to apples, the Armour ex pert are In their element and do their best work, from an individual commercial point of view.. They make a descent upon a big Missouri orchard, for example, buy the crop Just as it is on the trees from the owner, send in their own laborers to pick it, barrel it and ship It to the nearest available storage plant and then tbey await the profit that Is sure to come. Last year the profits were especially large. In California fruits the cold storage busi ness has been worked out with almost mathematical precision. The experts know exactly how long It Is safe to leave each kind of fruit In storage, considering the condition at the time It was picked. Rec or da of each consignment are kept and the fruit Is put on ths market at the beat pos sible -moment considering this limitation of the time It will keep. The Western Cold Storage company in Chicago is said to be the largest In the country. It has a capacity of 6.000,000 cub e feet, and. according to Rockwell King, pres- iaent of the company, this apace is almost filled the year around. "We do a big busi ness." he said, "snd it is reslly a great boon to the general public. It Is one of the best things for the laboring man that he nas ever had. It has changed the market so that Instead of paying 60 and 70 cents for eggs at certain periods of the winter ths worklngraan now buys them at a figure nearer 20 cents all through ths winter months, which makes it possible for him to eat them when- under former conditions be could not. alee ( Henry flay Weds.

Thomas, Illustrious potentste ot Tangier temple. Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, contemplates introducing a nov elty In the way of a children's entertain ment some day next month. The Idea ha been carried out In a few of the cities of the east and has brought the family of the Bhrlnert In closer touch with the order. He plans to engage one of the local theaters for an afternoon some time before the meeting of the imperial council and to have the entertainment given over to the children ot the members ot the order. No person is to have admission to the playhouse during the afternoon save the children of the members of the order and their escorts. The plan has brought together the younger members of the Shrlner's fam ilies where it haa been tried and has made the order one much loved by the little ones. A special meeting of Tangier temple, Nobles of the Mystic Shrine, will be called for Friday evening. The regular meeting to have been held last Friday was not held on account of the storm and the delay in the meeting has been taken advantage of by members of the several committees te arrange matters which will be submitted to the temple for final action text Friday, which ordinarily would have been postponed until the regular meeting which will follow. There was a apeclal meeting ot the badge committee at the office of Dr. Hugh Hippie Saturday afternoon, at which time the question of badges, number and cost was settled so fsr as lay in the power of the committee. This committee, as well ss the ways and means committee, will make Its report Friday evening. The Shriners are talking about a cere monial session to be held In May, before the party leaves for the meeting of the Imperial council at San Francisco. The matter has not been settled upon, but will come up at the next meeting. While the last ceremonial session was the largest ever held there were fifteen persons who had been elected who could not be initi ated as they were unable to reach the city. There are at hand a number of ap plications and a large number of people who are anxious to pass over the sands which lead to the oasis of joy. If the session la held there will probably be fifty candidates to be initiated. R. E. French, custodian ot the grand lodge, Ancient Free and Accepted Ma sons, of the state ot Nebraska, held a school of Instruction last week in this city. There were large numbers of mem bers from the lodges of Omaha and South Omaha and much Information in lodge work and lodge history was received. The Imperial council has issued, through Islam temple ot San Francisco, a pamphlet of thirty-two pages setting forth the pro gram of the council and the entertain ment which will be accorded visitors at the Golden Gate, June 9 to 16. According to the preliminary program, parties arriving there Monday, June 9, will be permitted to rest and choose their own form of recrea tion that day, but that day alone. On Tuesday the Imperial council will meet at Golden Gate hall at 10 a. m. At 8 p. m. of that day there will be a reception to the visiting women at the Lick house, and at 8:30 p. m. the grand parade will start and will be accompanied by fireworks, the blare of trumpets and the roll of drums. Wednesday afternoon will be given over to festivities, at which Al Malalkah temple of Los Angeles will be the host, the day having been designated at Los Angeles day. The forenoon of this day will be devoted to work of the council. Thursday the work will be over and the time of the visitors will be fully occupied, as it U the Intention ot the local committee to start out at 9 o'clock to visit and Inspect the Presidio, Golden Gate park, the Cliff house and Chinatown. All of this Is to be done before 2 o'clock in the afternoon, at which time the patrol drill begins. In the even ing there will be a reception and concert at the pavilion. Friday at 2 o'clock will take place the competitive drills of the Arab patrols of the different temples, and in the evening will take place the grand ball and distribution of prizes. Saturday will take place the trip around the bay, during which the federal works ot Mare island and Verba Buena will be vialted. That night will follow the banquet, which will be spread for the Shriners and their ladles. The edict has gone forth that Council csmp. Woodmen of the World, must meet the degree staff ot Seymour camp of the same order on or before May 2 in contest for the silver Initiation service, which marks the camp of the best drilled team in the country, or sun-en Jer that service and the claims to championship. The question of the competitive drill has been up for a long time and the arrangement ot details for the contest were not satis factory. Finally the question was sub mitted to the officers of the sovereign camp, who decided in favor of Seymour camp's contention. A Degree of Honor Institute will be held with Washington lodge Thursday evening, May 1, to which all members of the order are invited. A paper will be read by Grand Master Workman Jaskelek snd the discussion will be open to all. Refresh ments will be served. The Portland meeting of the National Travelers' Protective association will be the most important ever held, as the association has made remarkable advances the last year and great preparations are being made by the Portland contingent for a delightful and profitable session.

AMONG THE ARABS AT NIPPUR Experience of a Woman at the Ancient Center of Civilination. , AMERICANS UNCOVERING THE OLD CITY Discovery of a Famous Library Dae tn Chance Interesting; Meeting with the Great Sheik of the District. (Coprlght by C. H. Levy.) Thst a woman should take her life In her hands and go among the barbarous Arsbs of Assyria to take part In the work of excavating ancient ruins is unique. This has been done by an American woman, Mrs. John H. Haynes, who accompanied her hus band in the latest expedition sent out by the University of Pennsylvania to continue the excavations begun by him In conjunc tion with Dr. Hllprecht at Nippur some years ago. It was during the last campaign In which Dr. Haynes was accompanied and assisted by his wife, that the now famous library of 23,000 clay tablets was discov ered. When deciphered these cannot fall to shed a flood or light upon the life led by the men and women In one of Assyria's greatest cities 4,000 years before Christ. The Journey from New York to Bagdad was no different from hundreds of sim ilar journeys taken by tourists but at that point Mrs. Haynes' adventures began. Some of her adventures she described to the writer In New York the other day. "We stopped in front of a fruitstand in the Bagdad bazar," said Mrs. Haynes, "to look at the oranges. Soon a great crowd gathered, completely blocking the street. When we tried to move on the crowd fol lowed and at last grew so noisy that we could not in safety remain. Koshoud, the guide, walked in advance, scattering the people, but they were much Incensed at seeing a woman in European dress In public, as was evident from their jeering and threatening gestures. Koshoud led us safely up the street a short distance and put us inside a door which led Into a private stall or alcove. Here he closed the door and stood outside on guard. I do not In the least question that we would have been stoned had not Koshoud acted so wisely. "A few days after this adventure four of the workmen formerly employed by Dr. Haynes at Nippur walked in to pay a visit to their master, after a trip of fifty miles through the desert. They talked and laughed vociferously, kissing their mas ter's hands, kneeling at his feet, stroking bis clothes and calling upon God to 'bless their Beg.' When Dr. Haynes told them that Mrs. Haynes was his wife (harem) she thought they would devour her upon the spot. They st once began saluting and greeting her, kissing her bands and telling her that they and their wives would do whatever she wished. "Finally all was In readiness for the de parture from Bagdad and the men and boxes were ferried over the river. Then the desert journey of fifty miles to Nippur began. "It took ten days of adventurous travel, mostly on camelback, though the last stage was by boat on the waters of the ancient canal leading to Nippur. And all the way the party was in danger both from the savage Arabs all about them and the nat ural rigors ot the region. "On arrival the clay house occupied by Dr. Haynes on his previous stay there was unsealed and found in tolerably good con dition, but further Improvements were necessary, for there Dr. and Mrs. Haynes were to dwell for more than a year. The walls were very thick to protect the Amer icans from the extreme heat of the sum mer and yet the degree c comfort attain able was only limited, even after all prac ticable repairs had been made. FlBhtlna Pabllo Opinion. Mrs. Haynes had to fight her chief bat tle with public opinion. Her husband was popular with his workmen, but It was a novel enterprise to bring a civilized woman among them. Her reception was chilly, and had it not been tor the friendliness of the sheikh of the district, Hajl Tarfa by name, the outcome might have been dis astrous. Knowing how much depended upon him, all preparations were made for receiving him with due ceremony. A sheep wss sacrificed and a tent was pitched for the reception of the sheikh, who would not enter the house, as it was considered a harem on account of Mrs. Haynes' living in it. Her account of this visit had bet ter be given in her own words. "As the curious crowd gathered many of the more officious members of the sterner sex crowding around the place where my maid and I were sitting, It grew to be a serious question whether I should bold my ground or seek the house. I decided to stay where I was and seem not to notice. 1 tried to read, and, ladeed, was reading, when I heard the name 'Hatoon' spoken. Looking up I saw a very tall Arab, whose whiskers would have been gray had they not been colored a bright red with henna, and whose dress of yellow silk clearly Indicated that he was a man of wealth and position, standing directly In front of me. He was introduced as the great sheikh, Hajl Tarfa. "I quickly arose and salaamed to him; then advancing and extending my hand, salaamed again. As he took my band his great black lustrous eyes looked kindly down Into mine with an expression which seemed to say: You are very much out ot place, but you probably mean well.' We looked at each other only a few seconls, I to see a great sheikh for the first time; and he to Inspect the first white woman he had met, and then I withdrew. The crowd watched the introduction in silent respect and then melted quietly away." From that time Mrs. Haynes was pop ular with the workmen and the natives 'round about, and many of the women came to her to be treated for sore eyes and other afflictions. A child that had fallen into a fire and been badly burned about the legs was one of her first pstlents and the skill with which she cured its wounds did much to establish her In the good graces of the multitude. Popnlar with the Workmen. After her popularity seemed established when no danger to ber person appeared probable, she took her share of the direc tion of the excavation which was going on simultaneously in various parts ot the huge mounds of Nippur. Ultimately the work men In her division becsme so much at tached to her that at nightfall, when the work was done, they bore her to the house upon their shoulders. The finest flowers and fruits and various curiosities were brought to her by the Arabs, especially by the children, whose devotion to "the Beg s harem," as she was called, was remarkable. The workmen lived with their families In little reed huts, and Mrs. Haynes was often asked to visit these to tend suf ferers from fever, burns or some dlsesse. At first they called her derisively th Giaour (Christian), but they soon rever enced her knowledge of healing drugs. The discovery ot the treachery of one of the Arab sbelks, the beating of the postman by his predecessor in office and various like Incidents divided attention with the progress of the work. Days of the uncover ing of a large number ot graves contain ing bowls, rings and different bits of jew elry, as ell as tablets here and there, were red-letter days, of course. Ths wall ot U city waa traced for 482 feet and the gateway ot the ancient city, with the stairways ca either side, and the large open spare into whhh the chariots were driven to await their masters were 11 laid bare. No better Idea of the work done by Mrs. Haynes can be given than by copying an extract from a page of her diary, at which I have been permitted to glance. This entry waa made a month after reaching Nippur: "I am kept very busy and wonder that the time passes so rapidly in this place where we are so much alone. The finds of today were a clay Image, or idol; forty eight sound tablets., one fine and one course seal, one perforated prism, a kitchen un earthed by Hazam and photographed and eighteen graves opened. The kitchen Is built of bricks twenty Inches square: the floor and portion of tbe walls are Intact. The flrepot, made of bricks. Is perfectly good and shows the marks of fire." Almost every day new tablets were dis covered and as three are the books of an cient Babylonia they are considered of the hlgheBt value. From them may be learned much of the business and the social life of ancient times. Here are contracts be tween bankers and farmers for loans, mar riage contracts and the documents of the entire life of a highly civilized people who lived 6,000 years or more ago. Strenuous Daya. One of the exciting incidents of the time hi thus told by Mrs. Haynes: "Just about sunset one Sunday I was sitting in the court of our house while Mr. Haynes was busy with his accounts, when I heard a commotion outside, but before I realized that it really meant something a bare headed Arab, with his face ail covered with blood from a gash in his head, staggered Into the court and dropped down almost at my feet. I rushed upstairs after Mr. Haynes, who went at once to the door to prevent other Arabs from coming In. Sev eral, however, bad followed the wounded man In and the whole party was screaming and gesticulating as If each one were wildly determined that 'Beg' should hear his side of the story only. "In the meantime the frantic efforts of the man to get up and get at Abad el Moham med told us that he was the man who had done tbe deed. The Turkish commissioner tried to arrest Abad, but I refused to let him go, and In trying to protect him puthed the commissioner with such force that he tumbled over backwards." Dr. Haynes aft erwards settled the' matter satisfactorily, but this Is only one of the trying experi ences to which his wife was exposed. A few days later she had trouble with the cook. Dr. Haynes reproved him and In serving the tea that night be brought up on the tray, besides the tea, a bible and a large butcher's knife. This was an open threat to do violence and It Is not surpris ing that Mrs. Haynes did not sleep well that night. On the next morning the cook was sent away. One night Dr. Haynes and his wife were awakened at midnight by an awful din. They found that the daughter of one of the workmen had died and the mourners had assembled to weep and wall with the mother. All of the women flapped their hands on their breasts and wailed tn chorus: r SALLOW VVOMEN A disordered digestion makes Itself manifest la a middy or blotchy complexion, aervoas weak ness aad Irritable temper.

"Tour daughter Is gone: whera Iiava you put hrrT What have you done with her I want to go with her. She waa a chaste and comely maiden with long and flowing locks." The mother gave expression to her grief In the form of divers and many toud screams, howls snd walls. She repeatedly called upon her husband, saying: "Your daughter is gone and you will soon go to her. What have I to live for? Whom to make bread for?" etc. When the first of the grain waa harvested In May a little pile of the new grain was spread on the ground, snd a man, wits three or four women and several children, tramped round and round In a circle, two walking abreast, and all singing their har vest song. . The threshing of the grain Is done In the most primitive fashion. The stacks of grain, having been placed on level pieces of ground, a man drove donkeys, oxen and cows together around and around the stacks, tramping out the grain as it was pulled from the etark by the helpers. It was noticeable that, although the ani mals stooped down to snatch some of the grain, none of them was muzzled, accord ing to the biblical injunction: "Thou Shalt not muzzle, the ox when he treadeth out the corn." How the Library Was Found. It Is a mistaken Idea to think thai the desert Is always oppressively warm. It U true that often during the warmer weather the thermometer reaches 88 by In the morning and climbs to 110 by noon, but the winds that sweep over the desert are fright fully chilling in winter, even though the temperature be not very low. The men ahlver in the trenches and it is necessary to select protected spots if the director would not be cruel, in fact, it was due to this consideration on the part of Dr. Haynes that the most Important discovery of the campaign waa made, that of the thousands of tablets constituting what Is supposed ew be an ancient priestly library, Pointed Paragraphs. The best way not to obtain praise Is to ask for it. Wine makes the head dizzy; power makes the heart dizzy. No man Is ever too bad to ladle out a little good advice. Chicago News: Prejudice is the step father of slander. What the average man needs is a censor for his conversation. Probably men and women who flirt act like fools because they are fools. A married man's Idea of home comforts Is a shirt that is not made at home. It behooves those high In political power to provide themselves with parachutes. Half the troubles we complain of are troubles only because we complain of them. A stock market philosopher says mar riage is just as good as a failure if the girl has money. Weigh your friends in the scale of pros perity and they will be found wanting to borrow your money.
