Men representing all phases of Sunday school work in North America are in Boston today to attend a conference called by W. N. Hartshorn, chairman of the executive committee of the International Sunday School association. The executive committee, the uniform lesson committee, the Sunday school editorial committee, and the denominational publishing concerns of the country were represented in the assembly of the leaders, who are to speak for nearly all of the denominations of the Christian churches, represnting some 14,000,000 members. The topic for discussion is "How Can We Improve the Lesson System?" While other conferences have been had by several branches of the international association, this is the first time in the history of the organization, which was founded in 1873, that the four great branches of the work have been represented at such a meeting.

The suit of John O'Meara against Peter McDerraott and Mrs. McDermott, the trial of which was started in Judge Bourquin's department last Monday, is dragging slowly along, as many objections are made by both sides. This is a suit for an accounting for the sale of the Burke and Bala-klava mining claims which deal netted McDermott a profit of $125,000. The claims were owned by Bishop Carroll of Helena and McDermott secured an option on them for $275,000 and later sold them for $400,000. O'Meara claims that he was a partner with McDermott and helped sell the mining claims and asks for $40,000 as his one-third interest in the transaction.

John Kerrigan put in a similar claim with O'Meara, but Judge Bourquin ruled that he held no interest and the suit as far as Kerrigan was concerned was dismissed. The $40,000 asked by O'Meara is now held in trust at the First National bank of this city, subject to the order of the court Carl Gallagher, who purchased the claims from McDermott for the Butte Bala-klava Mining company, was on the stand this morning. He stated that he had secured an option on the claims from McDermott and upon visiting them just previous to the sale he said he met McDermott and Dr. Turner on the ground and he stated to McDermott that he might not be able to close the deal by the time the option expired, whereupon McDermott said he hod the power of attorney for Bishop Carroll and would extend the option if desired. The sale was made later and Mr.

Gallagher sta'ed that he transacted all his business with Mr. McDermott personally and made the payments to him direct. Several letters from Bishop Carroll were introduced into evidence to- show that the bishop gave the option on the claims to Mr. McDermott and nothing was said in any of them about the partnership which it is alleged existed. mk MM I 'III? 'ife The Salt Lake Herald has an interview viih A.

II. Dutton, formerly cartoonist for The Inter Mountain and The Miner, in this city, who discusses conditions at Goklfield, where he is located and doing veil. Mr. Dutton, with his wife and baby, will spend a week or two in Salt Lake. Mr.

Dutton believes it would be a fatal mistake to move the troops from Goldiield at this time. 'The announcement," said Mr. Dutton, "that the troops will remain a space longer, according to Fresident Roosevelt's telegram, conditional on the action of Governor Sparks in calling a special session of the legislature within five days, is important to Goldfield. It means that the mine owners will reopen their properties with non-union men at reduced wages. The withdrawal of the troops would mean, undoubtedly, the destruction of much erty and cause bloodshed.

So far as an ectual disturbance is concerned, I may say that there is none, but one can never tell in Goldfield when the volcano will erupt. "The mine owners seem determined to stand pat. There is a group of them there who go about armed to the teeth and who cause their homes to be guarded. These men, I am led to believe, are determined to make this a fight to the finish. "With the additional three weeks' presence of the troops, provided Governor Sparks calls th legislature together, the mine owners will be able to put a great many more imported men at work and I hear that a number of those who live there and have their little homes, are returning to work; indeed, it is a case of necessity with them.

Some of the 6trikers are on the verge of starvation, so reduced are they in circumstances. The proposition of the mine owners for a $4 day for miners is a pretty bitter pill to the men, and there are many who believe that the wages should not have been reduced. "Fifty extra deputies armed with shot guns are at present policing the town. "Goldfield is the victim of the agitator. The worst element from Colorado and other places is there, and these are the men who are creating all the trouble.

They seem to have the rest of the miners hypnotized, and whatever of lawlessness is the outcome, it can be laid at the door of these agitators. They are the ones who have been guilty of waylaying of people and beating them. "In view of the fact that provisions and fuel are extremely high in Goldfield, I do not myself believe that $4 a day is enough money. Why, when I began to buy, coal this year the first ton cost me $25, and I paid $20 each for five ton more. Eggs are 75c a dozen, and other prices are in proportion.

"Two of the banks now closed at Gold-field will reopen at once. They will pay dollar for dollar, but they are obliged to jay as best they can. Their proposition is to liquidate at the rate of 20 per cent in three months, 20 per cent in six months, and the balance in a year. This will clear the situation somewhat. "It seems to be up to Governor Sparks to act.

That is the opinion expressed by most of the people down there. As I understand it, Governor Sparks does not want a state militia. He wants rangers. I have ir.y doubts as to whether a competent state militia can be recruited from among the men in that state. "Within sixty days I expect to see W.

Agt. 15 West Broadway Eutte, Mont, he was not accustomed to being deprived of his liberty he kept up barking the livelong night, so that sleep was much interrupted for most of us. Owing to this discovery of the skunks in the neighborhood the, members of the party gave up the practice of sleeping in hammocks in the yard, a custom which had been indulged in on the warm nights." "I was up in Gananoque, on the Canadian side of the St. Lawrence said another member of the group, "and a family of skunks took up their home under the piazza of our cottage. We did not dare attempt to dislodge them, and so resolved on a policy of peace, believing that if we did not disturb them they would not disturb us.

There was a mother and nine young ones, and in the daytime they were usually burrowing in the ground or asleep in their earth beds. I suppose, owing to their nocturnal habits, they sleep by day. Occasionally a little one was seen out of doors in the early evening, and one of the young women at the house ventured to stroke and pet it carefully and without exciting its alarm and a resort to its mode of self-defense. It was interesting to observe some of the habits of the animals, but we were careful not to venture out of the cottage after dark, and none of us had an unpleasant encounter." "At the tent I occupied in the country place where I spent, the summer," said a man who had joined the group, "we had ah intrusion of skunks and I got which we put on some meat and placed at the ends of the tent. But the only result was the poisoning of a neighbor's dog, who evidently looked for meat more than he did for skunks and did not discover that the food was drugged until in his own home, where he lay down and died.

As he was not regarded as of espe- cial value, his loss was not deeply deplored. The pestiferous mammals we sought to poison came to their death in other ways before we were rid of the pests. One was shot by the pistol of a visitor, who lay in wait for the nocturnal mau-rauder, and another was slain by a boy with a long pole, so that he was not in danger of too close an encounter with the peculiarly armed animal. You remember what the author of 'David Harum' made the hero of that book say about an encounter with a skunk, of how he had to bury his clothes and then go off in the woods and hate himself for a week. It is curious how the earth will absorb the odor and leave the clothes fresh and sweet, But I am glad I did not have to put a suit into an earth bath." "I have heard my father," said another man in the 4 party, "tell of an oldtime Methodist circuit rider he knew who used to say that he enjoyed the strong odor of a skunk.

The minister, the Rev. Edward Oldvin by name, was a native of England and a noted camp meeting orator and itinerant preacher in the days when it was customary for the man of God to carry in his saddlebags on his horse his theological library and go from place to place to expound the gospel. He ued to say that when he discovered on his trips in the backwoods the odor of a skunk he would stop and sniff it until it made his nostrils tingle, and then he would go on refreshed by the experience to repeat it whn the opportunity offered. I never heard of any othr person who professed a fondness for their strong musky odor. It is said that the discharge of a skunk from the glands in which the secretion is formed will destroy the eyesight if received full in the face.

The secretion has heen made use of in medicine in minute quantities as a remedy for asthma. Skunks are feared also for their bite, which is believed to be capable of communicating a form of rabies. The two products of the animals, fur and oil, make their cultivation at skunk farms profitable but not a great degree of success, it is said, has attended the experiments made in various places." Nw York Tribune. ADVERTISE YOUR WANTS IN THE INTFR MOUNTAIN BOY 0VERC0ME ON STREET One Glass of Wine at Home Had Been Followed by Others. A 14-year-old boy, son of Mrs.

J. Brou-lette, 432 South Arizona street, was found in an unconscious condition near' his home last night about 10 o'clock. A person passing along the street came across the boy and called a policeman. He was taken to the city jail and Dr. P.

H. McCarthy summoned. The doctor soon discovered that it was a case of alcoholic poisoning and administered the usual remedies in such cases. The mother of the child was located by the police and she was taken to the station and later had the boy taken to her home. At the time the doctor was called he considered the case a serious one, but at an early hour this morning the lad was restored to consciousness and today he is reported out of danger.

The mother said that her son had a turkey supper with the family at 6 o'clock in the evening and drank one glass of wine, leaving the house afterwards feeling in the best of health. Humane Officer P. J. Gilligan is looking into the matter today in the hope of being able to ascertain where the boy got the liquor. SOME MALAD0R0US ANIMALS Experiences of Summer Boarders Mephitis Mephitica.

There was a busy conversational grou on the piazza of a suburban home and the hostess and her' neighbor friend were discussing their summer experiences. "We had one experience I'll warrant you didn't have, said Mrs. Z. "Guess we ran the gamut of experiences," replied Mrs. Y.

"Well, guess what it was." "Was it anything strong-smelling?" "Yes, it was malorodous enough for anything." i' "Then I know what it was, and we had 'em, too. It was skunks." "Indeed, it was. Well, tell your experience and then I'll relate mine." "I was Jiving in a tent," said Mrs. "not far from the farmhouse of the camp where we took our meals. One night toward the end of the summer, in the half-light which the moon she through the canvas I saw a black, furry animal prowling about.

At first I took it for a cat, but its actions seemed somewhat peculiar, and I recalled that there had been some talk of the odor of skunks, and I had a suspicion. Not daring scercely to move for fear the animal, if disturbed, make its presence known by something that would be apparent at least to our sense, I cautiously concealed my head beneath the bedclothes and kept it there for the rest of the night. In the morning I found nothing had been disturber, but there were traces of skunks in other parts of the camp, and the next night two were' shot near a tent they approached. Their presence was not explained, unless it was the dry weather which brought them from their usual haunts, but that seemed hardly probable." "Well," said the other woman, "my experience was not quite so close to the noxious animal. You know, I was in another part of Massachusetts from that you visited, but evidently the skunks must be especially abundant there also this season, for we never had them before.

One evening in the early twilight a party of girls from the house went out for a walk, taking with them the pet dog, Dandy, belonging to one of them. He was running about in the road ahead of them when he came across what appeared to them to be a kitten, but which did not turn and run as cats usually did when he began to bark and approach it. The erason for the failure of the animal to flee was apparent in a moment, when the air was filled with the pungent odor which is so characteristic of skunks. The dog had received a shock and was in no mood to continue the pursuit of the quadruped he had encountered, with results so detrimental to the peace of mind and pleasure of the senses of the party he accompanied. For fear that he would get against their skirts one of the girls managed to fasten a strap to the dog's collar and he was hastily brought home and incarcerated in the barn.

FEWER PRECIOUS STONES RESTRICTED TIMES FELT IN DIAMOND TRADE PRICES MAIN- TAIN HIGH BY ASSOCIATED PRESS. New York, Jan. 2.

Americans spent $11,000,000 less for precious stones'? and pearls during 1907 than they did during 1906, according to the figures given out by the collector of customs. In 1906 the importations amounted to $43,373,488. The boom in the diamond trade of the United States, now temporarily checked, began ten years ago, the valuation of precious stone imports having been down in 1897 nearly to $700,000, and increasing steadily until the highest total was reached in 1906. The price of diamonds, importers say, is sustained and the reduced imports are said to be due in part at least to the diamond trust's efforts to uphold the -market by curtailing supplies. One of the largest importers has compiled figures indicating that since 1868, when the first diamond was found in South Africa, that country has yielded upward of 60.000,000 carats, while India Brazil, the world's chief source of supplies in former ages, yielded altogether less than 23,000,000 carats.

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS. New York, Jan. 2. There is little chance, of strikes this year among the building unions. The employers have signed agreements with a large number of the men and in cases where agreements have not been concluded, arrangements are under way.

The following are the trades with which argeements have been signed and the number of men in each union Amalgamated Wood Workers, 3,000 workers; brick layers and masons, i.ooS; elevator conductors, tile layers, house movers, hoisting engineers, 500; electrical workers, journeymen stone cutters, 3,000 marble cutters, 2,300 modelers, 500 wood carvers, 800. The following statement was issued in behalf of the F.mployers' "Many of the unions are satisfied to renew their agreements at the old wage rates, hoping that in the new year matters will improve in the building industries. The outlook is bad. We may have a poor building season this year. The mechanics, like the employers, can only hope that the stagnation will not last long.

The arbitration program has been proven effective in the prevention of strikes. The employers have decided not to reduce wages. The workmen are also desirous of the continuance of harmonious conditions in the building industry. "The arbitration plan has reduced strikes to a minimum and both sides feel that the arbitration agreement should remain permanent. Some of the unions have as yet failed to make agreement with employers, the difference being over working conditions and the use of non-union help.

They are the Brotherhood of Carpenters, 43,000 Cement Workers, Amalgamated Sheet Metal Workers, Plumbers, 3,000 Cement Masons, 2,000. "Among the organizations not under the arbitration agreement are the painters, who number about 12,000, and the 5,000 members of the Housesmiths' and Bridge-men's unions." DEFENSE IN OLD KENTUCKY.

Experiments have been made by the Rockefeller Institution for Medical Research which have resulted in the success in transferring vital organs from one animal to another. Cats were used in the experiments and Alevis Carrel, the experimenter, announces that he transplanted in one mass the kidneys of one cat to the body of another. Doctors, to whom the experiments were discussed, said it was not a far cry to the time -when it may be possible to transplant one of the vital organs from one human patient's body to that of another. The cats experimented on by Dr. Carrel survived for periods of from three to 36 days and the experimenter said that if they had been permitted to return to their natural' life he believed they would have lived their allotted time.

In the first case the cat survived 14 days the next lived but three ten days was the record of the third, the fourth died at the end of eight days, five days sufficed for the fifth, the sixth lived one month, the seventh and eighth 13 days and the ninth made the record.
