of Applied Christianity.
Des Moines. la.. June A—George D. Her
ron, former professor of applied Christian
ity at lowa College at Grlnneil, is no
longer a Congregating! Ist. He was tried
by a oouncil of ministers, and elders of
the church, representing eight organisa
tions, sitting to-day at Grlnneil, on the
charge of "conduct unbecoming a Chrls
tion and a gentleman.”
The council decided that the charges
were sustained and voted unanimously to
expel him from the church.
PROF. HERRON’S DEFENSE.
Socialist Minister Placed on Trial
by ConKregatioiiuHstu.
Grlnneil, lowa, June 4.—Prof. George
r> Herron, charged with conduct unbe
coming a minister, was called for trial to
day In the Congregational Church here.
Thirteen churches of the district were
represented by twenty-six jurors eight of
whom are said to favor expulsion, even
before hearing the testimony. No de
fense was expected and the evidence In
troduced in the Herron divorce suit was
expected to form most of the tes
timony. Considerable surprise was ex
pressed, therefore, when it was an
nounced that Dr. Herron had sent a let
ter in his own defense, dealing with his
specific case, and not with marriage and
divorce in general. The writer states
that he wds called on a divine mission
as a sort of new prophet and that his
wife did not give him her sympathy and
appreciation, so that the home atmos
phere was uncongenial. He and his wife
discussed the matter many times, he al
leges, and finally agreed to separate and
he went away that the desertion plea
might be acceptable in court.
The full text of Prof. Herron’s letter
shows that his only reference to his for
mer wife is as the mother of his chil
dren and that he does not lay any blame
upon her.

New York, June 4.—Ballington Booth,
commander of the Volunteers of Ameri
ca, made this statement to-night at
Montclair, N. J., relative to the proposed
Volunteers settlement to be established
In Georgia:
‘ The colony to be formed by the Vol
unteers will not be similar to those in
operation, but we have under consider
ation a plan, for a more successful car
rying on of our work among the tene
ment house class in congested cities.
“In viwdtation work we come into con
tact with a deserving class of poor with
out hope of bettering their condition.
These individuals come from agricultural
disrtilcts in this and other countries, with
the view of being restored to their nat
ural environments.
“We have under consideration the pro
posal to own 100.000 acres of land in the
South. Under our plan a stock company
would be formed under a separate cor
poration. The Volunteers would; hold
through representatives sufficient stock
to. insure the philanthropic work of the
Volunteers beinsr carried out.
“.Should the undertaking prove a finan
cial success, a portion of Its proceeds
accruing to the Volunteers will be. used
in extension of humanitarian efforts
throughout the states.
A committee is examining the possi
bility of carrying out the undertaking,
but until! the directors take action I am
not in :xition to make a further state
ment.’*

A GREAT TOBACCO COMBINE
Tbe Giant, of the Weed Rnslne,,
to Form n Monster Trdt.
New York, June 4.—The Herald to-mbr
row will say;
Details in connection with the plans
of the directors of the American Tobacco
Company and the Continental Tobacco
Company for a refunding of the capital
stocks of these companies, It Is officially
stated, are practically completed and an
announcement may be looked for this
week. It was expected that a formal
statement of the plans would be given
out yesterday, but tbe final arrangements
were unavoidably delayed.
While many of the officials and directors
of the two companies were reticent in di
vulging the exact nature of the deal, it
is understood thHt anew company will
be farmed which will control both the
American Tobcco Company and the Con
tinental Tobacco Company and through
them the American Cigar Company and
the American Snuff Company. At the
present time the American and Conti
nental companies each own 374
per cent of the stock of the American
Cigar Company and a control of the
snuff company also rests in their hands.
Semi-official statements outlining the
nature of the scheme are to the effect
that the common Blocks of both the
American and Continental companies are
to be retired and in return the stockhold
ers will be given an issue of four per
cent notes such as were issued by the
American Cigar Company when the con
trol of the Havana-A merican company
was acquired a short while ago.
It is further said that for every one
hundred shares of the common stock of
tile Continental Company SIO,OOO of these
4 per cent, notes will be given and that
for every 200 shares of the common stock
of the American company $20,000 of the
bonds will be exchanged. On this basis,
the exchange would be equivalent to 4
per cent, on the Continental company's
common stocks and 8 per cent on the
American company's stock.
No statements have been made as to
the amount of capital stock of the pro
posed new- company.
Most emphatic denials are made that
the Universal Tobacco Company, which
was formed a few weeks ago with a
capital of $10,C00,000 Will be connected
with the new company.

Cleveland, 0., June 4.—The hundred-mile
race from Cleveland to Erie to-day be
tween the Cleveland passenger steamer
City of Erie, owned by the Cleveland and
BufTalo Transit Company and the Tasti
n'°o. a Detroit passenger boat, owned by
the White Star Company, was in many
respects the most noteworthy race ever
sailed oti fresh water.
The Erie covered the distance in four
hours, ninteen minutes and nine seconds,
passing the stake boat at Erie forty-five
seconds ahead of the Tashmoo, beating
the latter by forty-five seconds elapsed
time. It was pronounced by old vessel
men to be the prettiest race ever wit
nessed. Aside from winning the speed
Championship of the great lakes the Erie
won about SIOO,OOO for those who bet on
her.
The conditions under which the race
was sailed were ideal. There was a fair
sky and a sea as calm as a mill pond.
The course was lined from start to fin
ish with excursion boats of all kinds, and
the shores were crowded at points with
people. The noisy departure of the rac
ers at Cleveland was duplicated at the
finish. Whistles tooted and people cheer
ed both victor and vanquished.
Both boats were stripped to fighting
trim. The decks were cleared of every
thing that would catch the wind on board
the Erie, even the life boat had been
stowed away between decks. The limit
ed number of spectators carried on each
boat were confined to the cabins and
none were allowed on the decks. Both
racers were made as light as possible.
From the start the result was In doubt
until within a few miles of the finish.
The race demonstrated that both boats
were evenly matched. The boats approx
imately made nearly 23 miles an hour.
When the victor entered the Cleveland
harbor this evening on her return from
the race She was greeted with a tremen
dous ovation. Hundreds of steam whis
tles along the lake front and river blew
continuously for nearly half an hour,
while thousands of people crowded along
the docks wildly cheering.
AGAINST STATE REGULATION.
NVoniea Suffragist* Object to Intro

Minneapolis, Minn., June 4.—State reg
ulation of vice was one of the leading
topics at the morning session of the Na

olutions earnestly protesting against "the
Introduction of tbe European system of
state regulated vice in the new poases
aioras of the United States," and declaring
that official regulation of vice, while low
ering the moral tone of the community Is
quite ineffective in protecting public
health.
The resolutions reported by the commit

progress made by the cause.

PATCHES.

When a woman can get rid of brown
patches on her face by changing her diet
It Is worth while for other women who
care for their complexions to know some
thing of the method.
A lady In Michigan City, Ind., who doe*
not want her name mentioned, says that
coffee caused the brown patches on her
face by first giving her stomach trouble,
then putting her nerves out of order, and
the result was shown in her complexion.
She quit Jo flee and began using Pos
tum Food Coffee and in less than a month
the stomach trouble disappeared and >
care for tbelr complexion* to know some,
ed up and 1* now fine and rosy.
She speak* of a Mr. Knight ami Gideon 1
Hunt, of Westfield. Ind., who have both j
been Improved In health by leaving off
coffee and taking in it* place Fostum
Food Coffee, also a Mr. and Mrs. Jesse
Stanley, of the >me place, who were In
poor health and suffered from stomach
trouble. They quit coffee and after using
Postura a short time the result was nat- |
ural sleep, return of appetite, and a gain
lr, strength as fast us nature will re

.She gives the names of a number of
other persons who have been helped by
leaving off coffee and taking Postum Food
Coffee.
It Is a safe proposition that If any cof

or bad complexion, he or she can get
rid of the trouble by dis bnllnulng coffee

easy enough to prove the truth of this
by making trial. Every ‘first-ciM* grocer

CROPS IN POOR CONDITION.
Farmers Suffer From llr..light In
Same Sections and Excessive Rnln
In Others,
Washington, June 4.—The weather bu
reau’s weekly summary of crop condi
tions is as follows:
Practically an entire absence of rain
over a large part of the Missouri an<l up
per Mississippi valleys has intensified the
drought conditions previously existing in
these districts, while, the greater portion
of the region extending from the east gulf
coast to the lower lake region and New
England suffered further from excessive
rains.
On the whole the week has been very
unfavorable to corn, which, owing to low
temperatures, has made very slow growth
throughout the principal corn states,
damage by cut worms being extensively
reported. In the Southern states further
improvement of the crop is generally re
ported.
In the states of the lower Missouri val
ley winter wheat has suffered further
from drought and damage from fly is
more extensively reported throughout the
winter wheat belt. Harvesting has begun
as far north as Arkansas and will begin
in Kansas about the 15th.
Cotton has made very slow’ growth gen
erally throughout the cotton belt and Is
suffering for cultivation hi the eastern
and over portions of the central districts.
Warmth, and In the eastern districts, dry
weather, Is generally needed for cotton.
Transplanting of tobacco ha* made
rapid progress In .Maryland, Virginia and
Tennessee under favorable conditions. In
Kentucky about One-half of th* crop has
been transplanted, but the plants are
small and are hot starting well. In the
Carollnas tobacco Is suffering from heavy
rains. The plont bed. in Ohio have been
unfavorably affected.

fall which retarded farm work. In the
southwestern counties several local
storme prevailed on May 31, damaging
cotton and other crops. Land was badly

MANUFACTURERS IN SESSION.
Education Discussed and French Re.
elproclty Treaty Favored.
Detroit, June 4.—Men of business repre
senting the leading manufacturing Insti
tutions of the United States to the num
ber of 250 gathered in the Convention
Hall of the Cadillac Hotel to-day when
the sixth annual convention of the Na
tional Association of Manufacturers of
the United States was called to order.
Many of them were accompanied by la
dies.
Mayor William C. Maybury welcomed
the vlstlors to Detroit and President
Theodore C. Search responded to the
Mayor's welcome.
During the course of his remarks Mr.
Search said that the great energy man
ifest In the United States was due to the
public school by which the children in
America were taught to think for them
selves Independent ly.
"By referring to our methods of educa
tion,” he said. “I do not underrate the
value of the technical education abroad,
for it is of Inestimable value In foreign
manufacture, but 1 know that when we
add to our public school education the
technical training such as is given work
men abroad, our American energy will
always enable us to keep to the front of
the world in all lines."
President Search then read hie annual
report.
The afternoon session was devoted
largely to a discussion of the President's
report. Preliminary to the discussion a
letter was read from James Deering of
Chicago, In which tjhe writer advocated
a policy of .loser foreign trade relations
and urged all members of the association
to work for the rallfication by the United
States Senate of the French reciprocity
treaty. A resolution was Introduced and
referred to the Resolutions Committee,
urging Congress to adopt the French
treaty.
One of the Interesting report, of the
afternoon was that of the International
Freight Association Bureau. It showed
that the bureau had been formed into a
forwarding agency for the products of
the members of the association and that
handling expenses, including freight
Jharge*. had been greatly reduced.
The Committee on Patents recommend
ed that an International patent law be
established which would protect the
America manufacturer In foreign mar
kets.

Douglas, Ga,, June 4.—Coffee County'*
Teachers’ Institute is. in session at Doug
las this week with Prof. J. M. Guilliams
of the Southern Normal Institute as ex
pert. Many teachers are in attendance,
and report gratifying results already ac
complished.
Douglas people have been worked by
Joseph Parker, the whilom chief of the
“Waycross paid fire department." While
in Douglass, ostensibly to bore an
artesian well, hs bought out J.
Frank Hall's stock of merchandise, keep
ing the clerks up nearly all night taking
stock. Next morning Mr. Hall demanded
payment. Parker told him Junt to keep
easy until he could etep down to Buck &
Downing* and get a check cashed. He
stepped, and has never yet returned. B.
Peterson and City Marshal Kennedy fol
lowed, and overtook him at he was in
specting ties toward McDonald, and they
were satisfied that for the next week he
would prefer standing to sitting while
taking a meal.
It Is easy to accbunt for his working
hi* stunt on a country town like Doug
las. but how in the Ben Tillman did that
Rube, with such a phis, work Chief Mc-
Guire and the noble fire laddies of Savan
nah Is what puzzles Douglas.

Out of the darkness we reach
For a handful of week-old paper#
And a mouthful of human speech.”
Tlje concluding verse is as follows:
"More than a little lonely,
Where the lessening tail-lights shine.
No, not combatant, only
Detail guarding the line.”

’ UNRECORDED HISTORY.
Some New Information About (ho
Wap of tbe Father of His Country.
From the New York Sun.
Smith D. Fry, a Washington newspaper
correspondent, on a recent trip to oid
Broad Creek Church In Maryland, ten
milts from the capital, gives this bit of
Washington personality from a very hum
ble point of view:
"There Is little of Interest In the appear
ance of the buildings, except the curious
llttie half-ruined portico on the end far
thest away from the road; but after we
had inspected the place, we encountered
a historian on the road a little beyond.
In the shape of an old darkgy. feeble, halt,
and bent with years. It required little to
start the springs of hio conversation, and
he said:
“ 'Yas, sah, dat's a potv’ful ole chu’eh,
pow’ful ole! Mils' be mo’n to' hund'ed
yeahs ole. I reckon. Dey tell* me Gln'ral
Gawge WasMn’ton wushiped In dat
ohu’ch, sah, an' he used' to come my Ah
in his bnwge, rowed by eight nlggahs—
him an’ his faultily. Sometimes he come
hyah, sometime* he went to Alexandry.
an' sometimes he went to a leetle ebu'eh
down to Pohick, on de Ferglnny side o’
de rlvah—Jl*' how de idee struck him. I
was tois dat, sah, by a ole niggah when
1 was Jes' a leetj* boy. Dis yah ole nig
gah, dey say. ha was my grt-gran-pap,
but 1 dunno. Hit was mighty hahd to
keep track o' dem things in slevery days,
sh, when dey was a-buyln’ an' a sellln.’
a-tiuyin' on’ a-seMin' iviggnh** de whole
time: but, leastways, dis yah ole man,
he say lie seen de Gln'ral coroe to ahu’chi
hyah many an' many a time, In a big
seine iioat. De Gln'ral used to have a
feeshin' sho’ on his place, an' dis' 'yah ole
niggah he say he seen ’em haulin' seine
hundreds o’ times, an’ de Gln’ral a-watton'
noun' up to his waist In de watah, a
swrarln' an’ a-ruoatn' When de Sfln hit
hung on a log—'
” 'Swearing und cursing!' we exclaim.
Surely not! They say that Washington
never swore In his life.'
" 'Well, I dunno,’ said the old darkey,
shaking his head dubiously. ‘I reckon de
Gln'ral was mos like any yeter man what
nln’ sickly, an' when he seine got hung
up, why, I spect he Jes' nuchally took on
ah' sworn like anybody else. I've seed
right smaht o' seine haulin' In my day,
but I nevvah ylt see a seine took off a
hang without a pow’ful sight o' cussln’.
Anyways, when he shad an’ herrnl’ sea
son was done up de Gln'ral jes’ have hia
selneboet fixed up for a bawge, an' in dat
he norae U> ehu'ch. My ole gret-gran'-pap
say he often seen him beckin’ snuff, wid
de preacher 'Jes by de do', an’ talkin'
'bout de crops wid de folks. Yes. sah,
dat's a pow'ful ole clut ch, sho' 'nuff.'
"Here was history, indeed, and a little
later we were able to verify It, so far,
at least, as concerned Washington's at
tending service in the little church and
hauling a seine on his own fishing shore.
"Till* o4d church is surrounded by old
colored people and very poor white peo
ple, who carry the tradition* which were
handed down lo them through two gen
erattone, and they all agree that Gen.
Washington frequently attended this
church across the river from his homo,
because in some seasons Ihe road* were
well-nigh Impassable, so that he could not
go to old Pohick Church, nor to old
Christ Church, In Alexandria. They say
that whctl-ar the General was himself
anxious to go every Sunday or not, his
wife insisted upon It, and that la one of
the reason* h< would be rowed over the
river to church In extremely bad weather
when Ihe road* were too heavy."
WOMEN OF ZANZIBAR.
gontetblng About Their Mode of
Dress nnd Their Ways of Living.
From the Washington Star.
In referring to the ways and customs
of Zanzibar, R. E. Mansfield, ex-Untted
State* consul at that place, says that
one of tha most picturesque features was
the veritable Rebecca at the well.
At almost any hour of the day crowds
of half-clad women, dressed In gayly-col
ored costume*, can be seen at the wells
and hydrants, drawing water, which they
put Into tin cans or earthen pots that
will hold about six gallons each. When
the vessels are filled they are hotstcl
upon the heads of the carriers, who
march along under the burden as erect
and graceful as an athlete would move
about unencumbered. All the water sup
ply for the ITt.OOO inhabitants of Zanzi
bar I* carried upon the head* of women.
I have frequently seen a native wo
man carrying as many as three water
pot* upon her head, one on the top of
th* other, and each standing at a differ
ent angle Each of the vessel* would hold
neveral gallons of water, and with them
all filled, she would march along, balanc
ing them oo perfectly that not a drop
would be spilled. I have also seen on*
of those water carrier* balance a elx
gallon Jar, Ailed with water, on her
head, whlla ah* was engaged in other
tasks that required th# use of both her
hands, and at the seme time place her
In a stooping position. The head was no
poised as to maintain the equilibrium of
th* Jar. This practlc* of carrying arti
cle* on their heads ha* given to the wo
men of Zanzibar a fin* muscular develop
ment of the neck and shoulders, as well
as an erect and graceful carriage.
The Arab women, very few of whom
are seen on the alreet*. wear a kind of
pajama, a robe ot color'd materials, a
veil, or sometimes a silk handkerchief
folded and fastened across the brow a
l’lndienne. An embroidered waistcoat cnd
the “barakoa,” or gilt mask of Muskat,
reaching nearly to th# mouth, are "xwu
mon, aleo, while over all D thrown a
large, square piece of silk fabric, which
la druped gracefully about the form. San
dals or wooden rlogs, held by a etr ip or
a button between the toes, complei* the
costume. The Hindoo women dress simi
lar to the Arabs, except that they wear
more gaudy fabrics and more ornaments.
The costume of the native woman,
while less elaborate and expensive, Is quit*
ss picturesque. It coneista of two ide-e*
of cotton cloth, usually of special pat
tern, with Qrge figures, varied and bright
colors. These kanga, as they are railed,
ore made especially for the Zanzibar
trade, and their like la found no place els*
In tbe world. One piece of cloth la drawn
t'ghtly around the body. Just below tha
arms, and la softly and securely fastened
without the ski of any pins or button#
Native women never wear anything on
th*tr feet. Many of them decorate their
face* with paint. The women of Zausib.tr
wear ring* in their ear*. They also w> *r
nose rings and nose stud*. Civilised wo
men sear gold and sliver bands on’ their
ariats— so also do the native* of Africa
They even go farther, and wear anklets.
In farl, a native woman's social standing
Is gauged by tbe amount of Jewelry she
wears, and many of the gold and silver
ornaments they wear are handsome In
design and artistic In finish. The semi
bsrliaroue African woman Irleg to make
herself beautiful by tbe arrangement of
her kinky lialr. ftht will spend hours
withs until I hand-glass, arranging gar
Lair and admiring herself.
