NEW THOUGHT MIND LECTURE
Mlaa Elisabeth Towns gars It Tarns
tha Universe Upside
Down.
"The unity of life is In origin, purpose
and trend. Life is a desire, its nature is
unreal, and the tendency of all life is to
ward Ood. All life is a school, where we
prove right by thinking right Thoughts
are angels and the unseen part of life la
mind."
These are the tenets of the "new
thought" as given by Mrs. Elisabeth
Towne, editor of the "new thought" maga
ilne. Nautilus, in a lecture on "Mind to
Mind" at the Lyrie theater last evening.
In the course of her lecture she said:
"The 'new thought' turns the universe
upside down. The true substance la in
visible; the material la unreal and la an
Illusion. We of the 'new thought' enjoy
the material. We say that things unseen
are eternal and that things seen are
ephemeral.
"Lllfe Is love and thought The producer
of life la thought
"Mind Is like electricity. It is tremendous
and limitless. Mind Is full of Ideas which
work on ons another and each reproduces
after iu kind. Thought is like Uie first
notion of life; it is self-recognition; it Is
material. It is the substance of which
the world ie made. Man organises his
thought Ot self-reoognitlon and It repro
duces after its kind. Man's ideas are Clod's
are God's grandchildren. - Just as you
and I hate and love, so our Ideas hate and
love one another. As soo a as we think
bad of ons another we see good. Noth
ing goes out of our minds but to do some

HOW NEW YORK IS CARED FOB

Ket Yet Bern Dona Away
With.
NEW YORK, July 1-An Important part
of the postal system of this country Is the
transportation of mall In and around Man
hattan Island. This part of the city Is one
of the most congested In the world. Traffic
problems have become Infinitely more dif
ficult but Uncle Sam has kept ahead of the
procession. Everything else may be hin
dered, but there la no delay moving mail.
The receipts of the New York poetoffice
today equal those Of the entire country
thirty years ago. Twenty million dollars
worth of buslnexs was handled by Post
master Morgan last year without a hitch
Already there Is a pneumatic tube service
connecting various branch postofflces In
this town, and If Harlemltes were letters,
they would get home wlthoui a stop.
With the enormous Increase of mall mat
ter, has come the problem of getting It
through the crowded city. This must be
done on time, for the express trains and
ocean liners wait for no man.
An automobile service, Junt Installed, Is
a success. And here might be explained
the Workings of the New York Mall torn
pany, an organisation which handles the
bulk of the poet traffic. Some 00 wagons
mostly the Immense two horsrd vehicles,
familiar to us all are kept busy day and
night the year around. They seem to hurry
about promiscuously, but there Isn't an
Interval when John Crawford, president of
the company, if he So desired, could not
get Into communication with any of the
drivers.
Handling- Foreign Mall.
Mr. Crawford and his right hand man,
Colonel Qridlev. have a despatching sys
tem all their own. When the mall boat,
Postmaster-General, which meets all liners
at Quarantine and takes off pouches ad
dressed to the local postoffice, pokes Us
nose Into .the pier at Cortiandt street,
there Is a flock of mall wagons to meet It
Most of the pouches are taken by wagon
direct to the general postoffice and tne new
auxiliary station In the Hudson Terminal
buildings. Remaining pouches are carried
by the vehicles direct to the Jersey rail
road terminals and ta the Grand Central
station. Before the liner which has brought
the mall to port has docked, the pouches
are aboard the railroad postofflces and
New York business men have the foreign
mall before them. The ocean man is al
ways heavy, and the quantity constantly
increasing. Christmas time brings the max
A record is when the Teu
tonic dropped In last December with nearly
000 pouches. It took seventy oaa man
wagons to carry this cargo. More remark
able was the despatch in handling it Ac
cording to official figures by W. N. Cox,
treasurer of the company, the liner was off
Quarantine a little after 7 o'clock in the
morning and by U o'clock the pouches were
not only landed nl New York, but distri
buted. Onoe the pouches are at the general post
orflce the letters are distributed through
the tubes. But for other classes of mall
the wagon service again comes into play.
Some 6f the big hauls are from the poet
office downtown to tha Grand Central, the
Lackawanna, Central Railroad of New
Jersey, Weehawken and Long Island City
stations, and to the Staten Island ferries
for Richmond Borough. Then there are
the wagon transfers from the stations
mentioned above to each other and in
turn baok to the postoffice. The mileage
mounts up when it is remembered that a
haul such as that from Grand Central to
Jersey amounts to six miles.
Up to this month the work has not been
done on a mileage basis. From now on
the distance will be considered, and when
the territory Increases there will be more
money In It for the carriers.
Wagons Get Hard TTaag.
The wear and tear on these mall wagons
Is enormous. In the transportation com
pany stables, a five-story structure in
East Fifteenth street which shelters nearly
that many hundred horses, Is a good stxed
wagon building department and a large
force work day and night rebuilding those
wagons. Trolley oar motormen have little
respect for the mall wagons and car col
lisions are most common. Three wagons
have been smashed In a day.
Drivers suffer, too. Many have been
killed or died as the result of Injuries.
Bennett a veteran who has been driving
In New York City for twenty years or so,
shows a mass of scars. Time and again
he has been bounced off his high seat
Ones a railroad train swept a wagon from
under him. His experiences have aged
him, but at 7 he drives better than the
youngsters and has yet to get a written
oompiaint filed against him. Bennett puts
on the speed when he has to. Rather than
urge his horses along unnecessarily he has
made it a practice to turn up at the barns
half an hour earlier that he may walk his
horses on the long trip to the general post
office. Horses are maimed and crippled and a
special hospital service Is maintained at
the stables for injured animals. A veterin
ary surgeon is always on duty and he
seldom is without patients.
Francis R. Roome, superintendent ef
mails in the New York postoffice, has had
much to do with the tube ' system. The
present expenditure for the entire tube
system In the United States is about 1724,000
each year, but it is pointed out that there
have resulted economies by a discontinu
ance or reduction ot other transportation
services to an amount estimated at about
97,000. The closest Interval between the
tube carriers Is thirteen to fifteen seconds,
and the total number of letters despatched
one way an hour Is rated at 108,000. The
use of pneumatto tubes In the United States
mall service commenced experimentally in
189S with about half a mile of service in
Philadelphia.
Parcels Post Delivery.
A departure in the local service is the
parcels post delivery parcels sent under
the new agreement whloh allows eleven
pounds. This extra traffic la handled by
the wagon servioe.
An Important unit In the New York
postal service has Just finished its trial
stage, the branch station in the Hudson
Terminal buildings, from which all letters
are distributed, formerly a duty of the gen
eral postoffice. Routine work of mall
transportation Is not being Interrupted by
the building of the two Immense terminals
of the Pennsylvania and New York Central
railroads.
At present there are forty-two branch
postofflces in Manhattan and The Bronx
Bo extensive has the chain become that the
local police department has officially rec
ognised the growth. Deputy Commissioner
Bugher, In charge of the trafflo squad,
keeps an eye on the various mall wagon
routes and automobile lines. When any of
his men around the mall wagon drivers
needn't get blocked. Drivers and motor
men, because they didn't get out of ths
road quick enough, have been pounced
upon by the traffic policemen and taught
that it Is serious business to hinder a mall
wagon.

either going to or coming from Colorado
next autumn to give any assistance possi

The home economics committee ot the
General Federation of Women's clubs is
endeavoring to plan Its work that it may
be uniform. Following Is the list of efforts
the various olubs are asked to make;
To have domestic science taught in your
publlo schools.
To have home economlo books , put in
your oity libraries.
To try and have your clubs have at least
one program eaoh year on this subject
To have one session of your state con
vention devoted to this subject
If a session is not possible, you can at
least arrange round table talks, when you
take up various interesting phases of the
work, in order to show the clubs what a
thoroughly comprehensive and Interesting
subject you represent
To arrange with your state agricultural
colleges and universities to secure from
them people prepared in this line of work
to talk before your conventions and clubs,
and, if possible, to send out from them in
structors whQ can give short courses in
places where you may arrange.
Club women have seen but little of each
other of late. Aside from a few social
gatherings and a committee meeting or
two there haa been nothing to bring them
together. Dundee Woman's club made up
a dinner party at Happy Hallow olub Sat
urday evening, and there is some talk
of a club plcnlo later In the summer.
MINISTRY LACKS RECRUITS
Sinker of Graduates front Theologi
cal Seminaries Insufficient
for Needs.
There is a most alarming lack of candi
dates for tha ministry of Protestant
churches. This lack is giving Christian
leaders of America grave concern. Within
the last few weeks, or since the theological
seminaries held their closing exercises,
frequent conferences have been held and
formal appeals have been made to minis
ters to stir up publio opinion In thotr oom-
munlovs. These appeals point out that
money la going to missions in foreign lands
in fairly liberal sums, and that even the
dearth of men for these foreign fields is
not as great as formerly. But the Protes
tant churches at home are suffering in
number and in character for lack of men
to serve them.
The principal Protestant bodies In the
United States require about 1, 600 new min
isters a year. These are needed to fill ex
tensions, to take the places of those who
die or resign. Changes from ons body to
another arw frequent but they do not in
crease the total. This commencement sea
son of the seminaries has seen graduate
about 1.000 men. This counts practically
everything. When to the 600 short this
year are added the shortages of the last
six or sight years. It will be seen how
desperate the situation is. In hardly any
of the seminaries is there any Improve
ment in numbers to be graduated next
year. In moat of them there is a falling
off. The only exception is one undenomi
national seminary, and that Is challenegd
In its orthodoxy In some quarters.
Reaearches have also Just been com
pleted in the colleges, finding out how
many men in them Intend to enter the
theological Seminaries. In this quarter

there is no large hope of improvement
A very large majority of the decisions to
study for holy orders are made by men lu
their college senior years, so that it is
useless to go beyond them. In those senior
classes there is no ground for encourage
ment Most of the seminaries know the
previous spring about how many men will
enter tha following autumn. Inquiry in
the principal seminaries, west as well as
east falls to find any considerable growth
In any of them, while in some the outlook
is decidedly dlsoouraglng. Money to pay
expenses ef deserving men la without
taJtera,
In Great Britain, including the estab
lished churches in England and Scotland,
precisely the same conditions - obtain as
here. On the continent men Just from
there report a ray of Improvement This
ray oomes, it is said, in part from young
men who had thought of studying for or
ders in the Roman Catholic church, but
aro changing because communities are
changing. These cases are not numerous
as compared with the whole, so that? no
where in the Protestant world does there
seem to ba any but the same lack of re
cruits. Some leaders seen within the last
few days point to the faot that even West
Point is also short of Its quoto, in spite of
all it offers.
What the trouble is with the Protestant
ministerial outlook it Is impossible to
ascertain. Within the last week a dozen
of the foremost Christian leaders in all
the world have been interviewed, and al
most a dosen different solutions have been
offered. If there is any shortage in the
number it Is because of a reason, some
said frankly, they do not know. There
are more men than formerly in the Bible
classes of the colleges, even In those of
the academies at West Point and An
napolis, but the laymen seem to have the
call. That is, the notion prevails that
there Is a demand for active Christian lay
men, who work during their spare time
from business or a profession. Religious
bodies that have least depression are the
Lutheran, especially the German bodies,
the Disciples of Christ and the Methodist

low parties there is little difference be

much as the low. It does not appear to
be a matter of theology or of dogma or of

MABRAY MAN IS ARRESTED
William Scott, Member of Gang", is
Taken at Nebraska City.
HENRY STOGSDILL HIS VICTIM
Latter Was Swindled Oat of Three
Thousand Dollars on One of
Those Kxrltlnor Horse
Raeea.
William Scott, another of the Mabray
gang of swindlers, has been arrested at
Falls City, on Information furnished by J.
8. Swenson, postoffice inspector. A federal
warrant has been Issued for the return of

William Scott is a brother of Frank Scott,
another of the Mabray crowd recently ar
rested In Sioux City, and who Is now In
Jail In Council Bluffs. The Scotts operated
independently.
William Scott's undoing was brought
about by one of his own victims, out of
whom he bad swindled 13.000 on a fake
horse race at Council Bluffs. The name
of the viotlm was Henry Stogsdlll, a Ne
braskan. Stogsdlll finally got onto Scott's trail and
followed him to cover. Scott pleaded that
he .was unable to make good the amount
filched from Stogsdlll, and suggested that
the best way to get his money back would
be to ring in another victim for the gang
and divide the proceeds. Stogsdlll then In
stituted a series of correspondence with
Scott and when it was ripened to the
proper stage, he gave the correspondence
away to the government and brought abjui
Scott's arrest. He was first apprehended
Fredonia, Kas., but managed to escape
from that Jail, and was finally rearrested
at Falls City. Inspector Swenson claims
that he haa a complete case against Soott.
