just the same An almost fur tlve usher met the gathering congrega tlon and led the people through a dark fenced path into a small back yard to the church Inclosed by a high white washed fence Here were grouped con fidentially around the back porch some hundred chairs A dim and lonely in candescent light over the rear stoop which served as a pulpit only heightened the impression of a similarity to some secret service open only to those who made the sign of the cross and held in some sequestered spot during the gloom iest days of the Roman persecutions Here was heard the first evening ser mon of the new pastor of the church the Rev Edward Clifford who spoke on the subject of His emphasis on the value of the "prayer In the was thrown Into high light by the locale of the service The meeting was held in the open to escape the formality of inclosure Succeeds Resigned Pastor The Rev Mr Clifford assumed the pas torate of the church yesterday succeed Ing the Rev William Smith who re signed because of a recent vote by which trie congregation decided with a majority of five against moving the church TtS has been the desire of many In the I church which Is one of the oldest Chris tian churches of the city and wasfc founded in 1868 to move from the present location at 819 North West street to a more congenial location About twenty five members withdrew when the Rev Mr Smith resigned 1 The Rev Mr Clifford has been a mem ber of the church of which he assumes the pastorage since a boy and he has at various times led its Sunday school and Christian Endeavor He is a grad uate of Butler College with the class of 1893 and a member there of the Delta Tern Delta raternitv He is transnorta tlon manager of the Stats Christian En jit deavor Union He comes here from the position 'of financial secretary of the Beckley Insti tute a mission school In West Virginia supported by the Christian Women's a Board of Missions His acquaintance with the people of his church and Its situation led to his call and acceptance Having been nominated on the Demo cratic ticket It will doubtless be Mr conscientious contention that he should have a united Democracy behind him but that the Republicans should rise nobly to the independent level of nonpartisanship When Mr Harriman learns that Mr Shank is starting his campaign It will of course put an end to any thoughts he may have had of

Melon Portland Oregonian Union Pacific sold above $218 per share In the New York stock market yester day and predictions were freely made in the market centers that it would not be checked In its skyrockety flight until it was above $250 per share One year ago it was selling around $155 per share and during the panic of 1907 it larked but half a point of selling down to par The ex traordinary strength iu this stock at the present time is thought to be due to an approaching as the oc casional distribution of accumulated sur plus Is termed Union Pacific is a 6 per cent stock so far as the earnings from operations are concerned but sinre 1906 the dividend rate has been Increased to 10 per cent by earnings from invest ments owned by the road These In vestments are mostly in railroad

the Union Pacific coffers such a amount of money that a reported increase jq the dividend or a distribution of the accumulating profits may reasonably be expected to cause a furore in prices Wall Interpretation of this re cent extraordinary strength in Union Pa cific Is that instead of a the accumulated profits from the Investments will be used for buying more New York Central and it Is also

PREPARES SAYS PAUL WAS INSPIRED Coffin Discusses Way In Which Gospel Was Written That the arrival of St Paul at Corinth whither he went to preach the gospel of Christ did not attract any more atten tlon to the people of that city than would the arrival of any poorly dressed stranger from the country at the Traction Terminal or the Union Station In this city was the declaration of Charles Coffin vice pres ident of the State Life Insurance Com pany who spoke to the Men of Broadway at Broadway Church last night Mr Coffin's subject was "How Paul Came to Write the Thirteenth Chapter of irst In the course of his talk he expressed the opinion that th chapter was written as the result of a direct communication with God after Paul heartsick with his ialluie to bring the Corinthians to an

that the religion of the average Christian to day is without plan or an ideal that a I man goes to church probably led by i force of habit or true desire to learn the I teachings of God but does not bear in I mind in his every day life a religious I ideal 1 I difficulty with the average Chris I tian Is this: he has definite Ideals in busi I ness work and society but he allows religion to go on about as chance has it" said the speaker I "Before an architect begins the coi: struction of a great building he carefully plans every detail The builders follow Bi every line of the blueprints The on thought of all is to make the building exactly as designed In the architect's i plans They have an ideal Likewise sculptor carves In a rough piece of stone not aimlessly but ever with a clear im Ji age In his eye of the figure he hopes to represent in the stone He has an ideal On the other hand when a' man is asked his plan of leading a Chrls tian life he generally replies I be lieve I ain a Christian or I hope I am The minister spoke of a friend of his who told him that he enjoyed the early morning Sunday services the best be cause they were short and having gone to church once he felt that his duty was fc done and he had the remainder of the day to do with It just as he pleased This Idea the speaker said is that possessed by many 1 He compared the lives of the average Christian with that of Paul showing how Paul's high ideal of religion served as a plan for his life Ideal of religion was always bevond him He was never satisfied that he had reached it and therefore did not believe he was perfect although his friends regarded him as such Although an idealist Paul was exceed ingly practical continued the speaker In closing Mr Klyver said that the one grand purpose of the church and the a Christian is to save other souls that are sinking away from Christianity although there Is a tendency ifi the church to put the most emphasis on charity amusement or some other phase A TRIBUTE TO JANE ADDAMS New York Evening Post The advocacy by women suffragists of Miss Jane Addams as President of the United States has only one possible ob its Impracticability rom the standpoint

fortunate and the morally un fortunate with all stripes and varieties of genuine social feeling and theory with all foreign and domestic qualities More than any other living man or woman she represents the great social clearing house 1 Her personality and her work are in one Interesting respect similar to that of the great renchwomen of tlie seventeenth and eighteenth centuries in whose salons new and social ideas were ex changed preparing the way for the be ginning of a modern era In Miss Addams's salon as Hull House and the activities with which it is connected may be called a much wider and more varied mass of diverse human nature receives expression People holding any social convictions of whatever stamp may there be heard Extremes meet and all be tween the extremes and Jane Addams personality Is the welding force which tends to make a social unity of It all She is a great reconciler a great har monizer and this not In a merely nega tive sense but instinct with vivid imag

was picked up from the sea after an un successful attempt to (1y to the north pole in his dirigible balloon believes that the experiences of his second voyage will enable him to reach the coveted spot at some other time probably next year A broken guide rope is blamed by Wellman for the unsuccessful flight This rope of leather whose weisrbt is about 009 pounds served as ballast for the aircraft If the ship had not broken up in its fall into the ocean Wellman says he would have attempted another flight in about a L' Mr Wellman plans to build a new ship longer and narrower than that which met with disaster and of higher spee'd Other improvements will be made profiting hy experience Workmen this morning started enlarging the airship house and making all ready for another campaign All the members of the crew ot the air ship have the utmost confidence in their leader and In the ultimate success of his enterprise They have asked to go with him on his next voyage Poppoff one of Wellman's companions in speaking of the voyage said: "The spectacle' was marvelous as we looked down upon the sea over w'hich the long guide rope trailed Its way East ward were the great snow covered moun tains and glacier and northward was the limitless sea of ice just coming into view calmly took notes of course distance and time Vanimanjcame up from the engine room and smiled at Well man who shouted about the roar of the motor and screws: George we are started the shouted Vani man 1 I replied were all happy believing we had at last a overcome all obstacles and auspiciously started on our Jong voyage Guide Rope Parts misfortune was close at hand noon Wellman who was looking over side cried out: God look at The guide rope was falling It had parted near the upper end "Relieved of over 1000 pounds of weight the ship rose rapidly Into the clouds a mile above the sea At a great height we met a strong current overwind The motor was still running smoothly and we were traveling thirty five miles an hour northeast Land was disappearing to the south "Wellman left the bridge and' went for ward to consult Vaniman They agreed 1 that the loss of the guide rope which destroyed vertical equillbrlurri of the ship xnaue a continuance or me voyage im possible and we opened the valve to get the ship lower "Wellman took the wheel and steered toward Vogelsang The ship was bat tling against a strong wind The pro pellers working powerfully enabled us at times to vain a little but at other times we lost ground We descended slowly and In the lower altitude found the wind less violent inally we struck an altitude where the wind was light and we were able to make about eight miles an hour Then the motor stopped prob ably on account of the loss of equilibrium Reinflate Balloon "The shape of the balloon as it was when we started was now lost through the letting out of so much gas at a high altitude and the engineers set about re inflating It to restore its original form "Wellman called to Vaniman to get out the retarder and to replace the guide rope In case we should get near the sur face of the water Vaniman found great difficulty in arranging the tackle in this unexpected manner but the retarder was finally let down the motor stopped we drifted northward over the ice fields in com plete silence Wellman caught sight of two ships far to the south which proved to be the ram and the Arctic carrying a Norwegian expedition "A little later the engineer succeeded in starting the motor and our course was set southwest Wellman having declared he would return to his camp The re tarder was floating on the sea or gilding over ice neias occasionally loops in improvised guide rope would catch In ice and it was necessary to swing ship around In order to release it the end of the floating ice line was cauaht and held fast bv an floe The steamer ram had seen us and came near and Wellman shouted to the crew to send off a boat to release the line not wishing to cut it because it would be useful in making a landing The ram sent off a boat and released the line Meanwhile Wellman and Vani man consulted and decided to have the ram try to tow the America back to the camp Takes Airship in Tow ram took the airship in tow and proceeded for two hours towing us slow ly The wind became stronger and the airship jerked and careened from side to side Vaniman suggested that the ram send a boat to trail from the rear end retarder rope This was done and the i ship rode easier for half an hour At the end of that time the tow rope began straining the steel car in a violent man i ner again and Wellman decided to come down to the surface of the water in order to permit the taking off of the instru i ments the crew and the dogs "This was successfully carried out and all were taken aboard the ram "Then the winds freshened suddenly and the cable tow parted The America floatea away rapiaiy me mm rouowmg nnany recovering it "Strange to say the America was little damaged and all Its parts will be used In a new airship The motors and other ma chinery were undamaged" Wellman Is Confident Walter Wellman made the following statement with regard to his unsuccess ful attempt ot yesterday to sail for the north pole: "Had not the guide rope broken we had an excellent chance of reaching the pole We certainly made a good start with favorable weather The guide rope was of the same material weight and work manship as the one so severely tested on the trial trip two years ago Therefore its breaking was amazing The cause was a weak spot In the leather unsus pected: A mprina strength speed and adaptability to this work In returning to Spltzbergen we made a mistake In not placing enough confidence In our own ship and engines Had we not through overcaution given the tow line to the ram I believe we could have landed the America safe in Its house or some time It was my in tention to attempt this and we made eight miles an hour against the wind toward the camp "At last the motor worked uncertainly because the equilibrium of the ship had been upset line supply decision to the surfacelAi inl Vint the saving of instruments and other val uables Will Start Another Voyage "Had the ship not broken up while land ing we would have tried another v6yage this month with a new guide rope not withstanding one mishap following fast upon heels of another do not give up the fight but hope to reconstruct the America enlarged and improved and try again taking advan tage of all our somewhat varied and ex tensive experience My faith in the prac ticability of the project is in no wise di minished Throughout the voyage even in the most trying moments in the clouds and in the seas my three comrades proved cool headed and efficient My thanks to them and to the equally bravo officers and sailors of the Norwegian ship ram" Mr Wellman will return to Norway next week He says the airship seri ously damaged and oan be repaired but that any further attempt this year is

real of this group of stocks especially as ils valuation is so vitally affected by speculative hold 1 Ings trther shares by the parent com pany No one aounts inai union ratine anu Southern: Pacific

mind? The stock market has again been dom inated by tfre Harriman issues unfavor able rumors concerning his health caus ing a sharp decline in Union Pacific which In turn precipitated Jarge realiz ing sales in the general market There has consequently been a good deal of feverishness at times and a conspicu ously unsettled tone although it cannot be said that the: undertone of confidence has been seriously impaired in the gen eral situation 1 Were it not for the fear of excessive manipulation by the big operators there would no doubt have been good public buying on the reaction but the fact that the market has recently been so Intensely artificial is generally understood and creates more or less distrust At the same time the market still remains in strong hands and the probability is1' that the leading shares will be protected for the present at least against any additional violent break i Reports from the West are very opti mistic and the belief in trade improve ment strengthens rather than 1 weakens The harvest Is now begun In many sec tions and "results are reported as satis factory It is still too early for any sat isfactory data as to corn August it must be remembered usually being a period of deterioration Nevertheless the expectation still holds for a 8000000000 bushel'corn crop Along this wave of optimism how ever is a note of caution western buy ers it is to be noted are taking hold of textile and other manufactured products very cautiously fearing that present high prices may check consumption and leave them stranded with large stocks of high priced goods Since the tariff agitation was settled a decided sense of relief has been felt in many manufacturing circles and prices in numerous cases have already advanced in consequence There must of course be a limit to the level to which values can be raised and apaprently that limit will not he reached until the point of ex haustion or until the consumer through sheer inability must refuse to pay ''A favorable development has been the recent decline in cereals to more reason able prices This will tend to somewhat nfpQAt thA hisrh cost of llvine bv providing cheaper food should also facilitate a much needed increase of exports The liberal gains in recent railroad earnings confirm reports of improving business 1 for though rates are frequently better 1 than a year ago the gains without this additional revenue are large enough to demonstrate a very considerable enlarge ment of traffic The continuance of easy monejr seems probable for several weeks longer at least owing to the abundant supply ot loanable funds irmer rates however are noticeable "particularly in time money This was partly due to Increased interior demands for crop moving pur poses and to gold exports the latter having been renewed by a partial with drawal of Japanese and Canadian bal ances In this center There was also a renewal of gold shipments to Argentina on London account In Europe money Is plentiful and fates very low Since May more than S8000 000 gold has been shipped to Japan and the probabilities are that considerably more will soon be forwarded Bank loans are still hovering about the high record while reserves are steadily declining Last week the surplus was reduced to $23000000 compared with $34000000 July 17 and compared with $57000000 a year ago Our foreign trade returns for July were not satisfactory The total imports for the month amounted to an increase of more than $25000000 com pared with the low gures of last year Imports have not been excessive though stimulated bv business Improvement and anticipation of the tariff Our exports during the same month were $109000000 a very low figure yet $6000000 larger than a year ago The result of the commerce was very unusual showing an excess in Imports amounting to $2800000 against an excess of more than $16700000 in exports last year It Is to be hoped that with larger crops our export trade will revive but the net result or our international traae iiaiante largely depends upon the Influence of the tariff on Imports The gold movement for the seven months of the calendar year has also been exceptional We im ported during that period $23000000 and exported $80000000 leaving an excess of exports in seven months of $57000000 which is $28000000 more than the same time in 1908 This continued loss of the

Sulphuric ether Jone 6 Excising tumor Sulphuric ether A curious proof of Improved business conditions is offered in the statement by tlie national secretary of the book organization He is quoted in a New paper as saying I hat for the first time since the pan! of a revival In this trade a luxury he says any sign ment in the trade means trades are improving and money is In circulation In the last be states many book firms had quantities of books printed them stored with the printers at the ox petise of the latter until they were ready to bind them one house had not less than $100000 worth of printed matter thus stored up Now they are taking this material out and getting it bound It is often asserted that In hard times peo ple spend money liberally for amusements the explanation being that they are seek tbelr cares and do not This rule it would work in the case ot a good book can be less than the cost of a his eggs i it that one basket He was aiming at greater things than the correc tion of a few duties on Imports It Irked us all Io see the President treat ing so amiably and considerately with Aldrich and Cannon in llmir atandpat con tentions but lie persisted In that course getting out of it a very inurlerate num ber of reductions: nothing like what he wanted or the country wanted but get ting also what seemed of greater con cern to him the corporation tax with its beginning in tlie direction of public ac countability on the part of 4hese great combinations of capital Now Ills further plans begin tn appear from these Beverly conferences Internal revenue collectors In and elsewhere this week begin rollment of corporations that are found sttbjei'f to the tax matter is there fore practically begun and tlie next tiling Is to simplify the powers previously ex isting with relation to the investigation of corporations and the authority to deal with them in the courts and otherwise Beyond this and scheduled for contem poraneous consideration if Congress fol lows the recommendations to be made in the first annual message are: 1 Government regulation of stock and bond Issues by corporations subject to the Inter state commerce act 2 Amendment of law to strengthen nertlculars and to tlons that have been found to work an in justice to law abiding corporations It Ifl clear that In these and kindred proposals the President takes very seri ously the obligation he feels to correct the palpable and widespread abuses that have grown up in the management of cor porations that do business with the sav of the masses This obligation in cludes responsibility under the pledge of the last Republican national platform for such national legislation and supervision as will prevent the future overissue of stocks and bonds by interstate carriers The national convention at Chicago made this declaration understanding that the country demands a1 carrying forward of the Roosevelt policies and he would have a very short memory Indeed who could not recall the deep seated conviction of the American people that the great cor porations have long played fast and loose with their stockholders as well as patrons and that some way must be found to bring them under the control inspection and regulation of the government In order to perfect this comprehensive and beneficent program it will be neces sary for the President to have the co operation of not an ideal Con gress but an Aldrich and Cannon Con gress In addition to these plans he will need Its approval and financial support for the body of able and earnest tariff experts he Is going to appoint It will be clear to most fair minds that in his dip lomatic course with the reigning oligarchy in both Houses he has paved the way for reform more wisely than if he had made an Irreparable
