IATROBE. Nov. 1. A heavy rain spoiled the field practice of the local eleven to-day, and aa a result Coaches Knight and Kennedy put their squad of players through a rigid examination of the signals. Manager Berry now has enough pigskin chasers here for two elevens, and the players have been lining up against each other all week, the team of substitutes using a very close forma tion style, somewhat arter the jrnnceion mass play.

Interest in the game for Saturday still runs at high pitch, and some of the fans are of the opinion that Homestead will score on the locals, but that the result will be in Latrobe a favor. Great surprise was expressed here to- day over the smashing victory of IX A. C. over Greensburg yesterday. Some enthusiasts were well pleased be cause it will give Latrobe more prestige when she visits the city, wnne otners are sorry for the fact, that, should the locals rail to win irora iiomestcau on Saturday, both Greensburg and Lutrobe will have to hustle nara it iney expect to land the championship.

PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 1. The board of directors of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company to-day declared the usual semi-annual dividend of 2Vi per cent and an extra dividend of one per cent, payable on and after November 30, 1W, to the stockholders as registered on the company's books at the close of business yesterday. The action of the company is based upon remarkably large earnings.

This is the first lime the company has declared a dividend upon its full legal authorized capital $151,700,000. Prior to the last dividend the capital was The 2' per cent and the 1 per cent extra dividend upon the total capita! u.ls for a disburse-mtnt of 15.3u9.5oo. the additional dividend alone requiring $1,517,009. Ever since lvC, with few exceptions, a per cent yearly dividend has been declared. In lv7 and 10, per cent was paid; In IMl and IMC, six per cent, and In 1M1.

5 per cent with addition of 2 per cent In script. In lnsa. per cent was paid; In ISM. 7 per cent, but of course the dividends were not on so large a capital. Since 1SK! the annual dividends have remained uniformly at per cent.

In speaking of the reasons for the Increase In div-dend, on of the directors of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company suid this af-trenoon: "The directors decided upon the extra dividend of 1 per cent becausa the m.iK-y has been earned, and we thought the stockholder should have It and we intend also that the action shall be In the nature of a declaration that Pennsylvania's policy Is a success. "There ras been some criticism of recent progressive steps that the management has taken, e(e, iaiiy in the uirectlon ot ownership in th stocks of other companies Now we are able to how that this plan has yielded a sufficiently large return to makw ijsitle the disbursement, not only of the regular dividend, but about l.i.'w in an extra disbursement. "Soitis of our directors at to-day's meeting thought that It would be bettor to withhold i he extra declaration until after he election, but the majority thought that for the reasons a-tveti above the announcement at this time Would be mole emphatic. "All the directors were present, and In spite of the slight difference of thought pressed during the early discussion, the tinai action was entirely harmonious "Toiiir'f etra dividend announcement sppliea se.i:i to he ertod of extra large earning just passed, and should not be construed In any wav as a precursor of an Increased annual rat."

The Uulde mills, however, are still running and will likely continue In operation during the winter, much iron for these departments being secured elsewhere. The closing of the puddling department of the mill throws about 2vd men out of employment. understand as Americans do the use of the word president to indicate persons in vastly different degrees of power. He wanted the executive of the Nation to have a distinctive name. Happy After the Day After Minister Wu returned from the public reception In the art gallery, he soon retired to his suite of rooms.

At o'clock he ate dinner and prepared for the concert of the Pittsburg orchestra. At the close of the concert he returned to the Hotel Schenley. accompanied by Mayor Diehl, Colonel Church. John A. i Brashear and President Frew.

Mayor Diehl and Prof. Brashear escorted M.nls-ter Wu to his apartments, and after a light lunch was served and a cordial good night by Pittsburg's distinguished visitor, he was left alone for the first time since he arrived In the city in the morning. The distinguished diplomat was tired but happy after bis exceedingly busy day. and a smile which spoke volumes appeared on his face as he entered the elevator to be taken to his rooms. This will be another busy day for Minis- ter Wu.

At he will breakfast at the hotel. At he will receive the Chi- nese residents of Pittsburg at the Hotel i Schenley. This will be an interesting feature of his visit, and has been arrang- ed at the keen desire of the Chinese people who wish to meet so distinguished an official. In China an interview between such a delegation and the personal representative of China would be marked by the most extreme etiquet. and Oriental homage would be Its leading feature.

But this delicate point has been waived bv Minister Wu, who will receive his pro-pie only with such formality as they them selves desire him to observe. He will receive all the Chinese residents of Pittsburg and vicinity who may wish to call upon him. After this event, which will probably last until 10 o'clock or after, the start for the steel works will be made. Owing to the unavoidable absence of President Charles M. Schwab, of the Carnegie Company, who is in New York to meet Mr.

Carnegie, Homer J. Lindsay, assistant to the president, will assume personal charge of tne tour. The start is scheduled for 1 o'clock. Senator C. L.

Magee has tendered the private trolley car Pittsburg for the trip. Besides Minister Wu and Mr. Lindsay, the officials of the Carnegie institute. Mayor Diehl and others will le in the party. Homestead will be the first stop.

After a thorough inspection of the steel works an elaborate luncheon will be served. Then the party will proceed to Braddock. From there a run to Duquesne will be made, and from Duquesne the return trip to the Schenley. At o'clock a drive over the thoroughfares of Pittsburg and Allegheny is the scheduled event. After this Minister Wu will be at leisure until about 7 o'clock, when an informal dinner will be given him at the hotel.

Mayor Diehl will preside and Pittsburg's most prominent business men will be present. At 9:13, escorted by a committee. Minister Wu will be driven to the East Liberty statlon of the Pennsylvania railroad. At lo o'clock he will depart on the Pittsburg limited for ashlngton. MINISTERS MAKE SALARY TOO MUCH AN OBJECT.

Kev. Dr. Merle Smith Unfits Urowlng Mercenary Spirit Among Members of the Clergy. The first triennial conference ot the Young Men's Christian Association of the theological seminaries of the United States and Canada opened last night in the Fourth United Presbyterian Church. at Arch street and Montgomery avenue.

Allegheny. Over 50 seminaries are represented in the conference, including 18 denominations east of the Mississippi river. Over 200 students and professors were present at the opening of the conference last night. After devotional exercises Rev. W.

Merle Smith, of the Central Presbyterian Church, of New York, delivered the address of the evening. His subject was "The Minister A Man of God." He spoke in part as follows: "New- ideas of preaching and preachers are constantly coming before us. but the nath for the minister to take is the old. hard and worn path marked by the saints of God. It Is sad to note that there are many ministers whose aims are altogether too worldly.

Their highest ambition is for a large church and a larger salary. This should not be. Thev should all be ready to give up all for the ske of Christ, and go where He sends them. 'Thy will, not mine," should be their constant reminder and If God calls them to China or India, where no salary is attached to the assignment they should be ready and willing to go. They should be enshrouded with God's grace and should rather lead the quiet career of a missionary, whose deeds of virtue and power of winning souls to God may go unnoticed, than aspire to the big church and salary.

"But many of our ministers fear the will of God. They think if they throw themselves before Him and offer to do what He wishes that He will keep upon them great trials and privations. Their ambition Is worldly and thev think that this will suffer if God takes them at their word. I beg of you to throw yourself before the cross, purge yourself of your sins and declare yourself willing to do what God wills." ALL SAINTS DAY.

Zj MINISTER WU HAS GREAT CURIOSITY. Contlaaed 1'run First Pace. Institute after his spin in a stylish red-hued Vehicle about the park. lost Other Questions. He had hurried through the PUpps conservatories and met Superintendent Falconer, born In Scotland.

Like a flash he asked why Mr. Falconer had come to this country. He was ushered into the art galleries and seemed to give little heed the brilliant array of paintings. A New York art critic was introduced, and Minister Wu asked which was the finest canvas displayed. When the critic demurred, but pointed to a painting, say ing It was fine, the oulck-witted Chinaman asked why It was deemed fine.

The critic started on aa excursion Into artis tic dialect when suddenly he was asked whether he was a painter. A reluctant r.rgatlva was the response, and then Minister Wu passed on. The temper or the critic waa manifestly ruffled, and a general iaush prevailed. He wanted to know the dimensions of Carnegie, institute, and several leading spirits connected with it stood abashed their inability to furnish the r.gures. Director W.

J. Holland took Minister Wu In tutelage a the museum doors nl the director fared better, though the thrusts were frequent and palpable. First he was shown the dlplodocus. Mr. as told bantetingly that It was a dragon taken over to China, and might have furnished the symbol on the Chinese national emblem.

'Oh. no." came the quick answer. "That was brought by the Chines here when they found America." He paused at tns ureeit nomenclature in museum and slyly gave the director a touch about the poverty of the English language. At the case of skulls Mr. Wu was particularly exasperating.

He wanted to have shown him Chinese and Caucasian skulls, and then to be told the difference. The director entered upon a learned dis sertation, when he was interrupted by the question. "Have you written a book about this?" When told "No," Mr. Wu passed on to the loan case of Chinese robe. When told of their antiquity he laughed aloud, and admonished his companions.

"Don't doubt it." Stamped Dr. Holland. At the butterfly case Director Holland found him especially unruly. He wanted to know- what was the use of butterflies. When told that the very robe he wore was from the silk worm, he slyly affected not to know the fact.

He saw Dr. Holland was slightly nonpulsed by hia utilitarian cast of thought, and followed It up by asking what was the use of mosquitoes and of rats. Dr. Holland answered each query with all the gltbness of the student of science, and then Minister Wu was ready to visit the Indian collection above. The case where the snake-dancers are shown started another string of queries, and the Navajo blankets seemed to actually please him.

He led the whole band a merry pace through the Institute. He tanned himself and when he ilnally got to the exit door he sat down and confessed that he was fatigued slightly. One noticeable thing was his polite reticence about anything Chinese in the museum. When asked whether a model In the "Transportation" cades was one of the Chinese wheelbarrow, he said. "Something like it." and hurried on.

He recognized some Chinese money. Next the music hall where the orator wns to speak ina few hours was visited. He asked all possible questions about its sire and admired Its acoustic properties. He was Interested In the organ, and the electric method by which it is played. He asked all about Mr.

Archer, and when told of his having formerly been organist at Crystal palace in London, stumped the whole crowd by asking who was organist there now. He asked about Mr. Archer's salary and whether he lived here. Then he wanted to know about the singers at the orchestra, and was disappointed over the absence of lady vocalists. At last he put on his big silk robe, and rode back to the hotel In his carriage.

First Sight of Xatural Unm. Minister Wu saw for the first time the lighting of natural gas. Mayor Diehl was lecturer on tne suojeci. ine distinguished Chinaman could not quite understand the operation, but the lack of comprehension was largely of the Talleyrand style. It was evident that ilr.

Wu never asserts knowledge. His fondness fur music was adverted to in his address and seems to be a philosophical Inheritance. Mr. Wu would not discuss Chinese affairs while here, recognizing the diplomatic impropriety of alluding directly to matters now In process of arrangement. His views, however, have been frequently printed under his own signature.

The funniest branch of his Interviews of the newspaper men was when his statistical mind led him to ask about which paper bad the largest circulation. He was amazed at the chorus of answers. He refused to reconcile the rival claims. During his early sojourn at the hotel Rev. W.

A. Speer, a former missionary at Canton, called, and also George H. Henderson, secretary of the chamber of commerce. During their stay Air. Wu talked of the eminence of the office of President In this Nation, and offered the idea that the title should be changed to Indicate higher power.

His notion was clear. He did not mean that the functions should be enlarged, but could not.
