News and Miscellany

Notes and clippings from the daily and weekly press

— The city of New York has purchased the little cottage in the Bronx where Edgar Allan Poe once lived, paying $3,000 for it. It will be moved from its present location to a site in Poe Park.

— New York City claims to be the largest toy market in the United States. The annual volume of trade at wholesale prices is $75,000,000, and of this a large part is shipped out of the country, mainly to the great fairs of Europe and Asia.

— Western railroads have filed with the Interstate Commerce Commission a proposition providing that the size of trunks or baggage carried by passengers shall not exceed forty inches in dimension. Eastern lines provide for baggage with a maximum dimension of forty-five inches.

— The most powerful searchlight ever carried on any merchant ship was a conspicuous feature of the big transatlantic liner “Kaiserin Auguste Victoria,” as she came into the port of New York a few weeks ago. It throws a beam of light of 80,000-candlepower, and is effective for seven miles across the open sea.

— Mr. Herbert Ward is the sole survivor of the Stanley expedition which went to Africa to find Livingstone so many years ago. He has decided to give his collection of African trophies to the Smithsonian Institution. The collection contains more than 7,000 African weapons, drums, etc., and many rare objects of ancient domestic use.

— In a summary of the work of the Illinois Senatorial Vice Commission made public at Chicago, Lieutenant-Governor O’Hara uses these words: “We have found that there is a combination engaged in wholesale traffic in women and extending over the entire country. In a large proportion of cases we have investigated we have found that girls have been procured from large department stores and similar institutions where women are employed. Low wages are to blame for most of the immorality among young girls.” He declared his belief that the solution of the problem lay in the establishment of a minimum wage for women. More than a dozen States, through their governors or other officers, have notified him that they desire to join the Illinois crusade and aid in a nation-wide war on white slavery and vice.

— The government of Egypt, through the minister of education, recently ordered 460 Bibles, 400 New Testaments, 20 reference Bibles, and 20 copies of the concordance for its schools. This is the first time the Bible has been introduced into the government schools of Egypt.

— An idea of the immensity of the tobacco trade and its attendant economic waste is shown by a report issued recently by a committee of the Chicago Association of Commerce estimating that the men of Chicago alone smoke 1,000,000 cigars a day, and that the cost per man averages twenty-two dollars a year.

— In a report of the secretary of the Christian Women’s Board of Foreign Missions it is claimed that there is spent in this country $16,000,000 a year for chewing-gum, $100,000,000 for ice-cream soda, $120,000,000 for millinery, $174,000,000 for candy, and only $4,000,000 for the conversion of the heathen.

— The British naval estimates for 1913-14, which have been announced, total $231,546,500, as compared with $225,377,000 last year. The new building program provides for five battle-ships, eight light cruisers, sixteen torpedo-boat destroyers, and a number of submarines. The personnel of the navy is to be increased to 146,000 officers and men.

— “Father” John Russell, founder of the Prohibition party, died recently at the home of his daughter in Detroit, ninety years of age. He wrote the call for the first National Convention, at which the party was organized, in Chicago, and was the party’s first candidate for the Vice-Presidency in 1872, and for years was the recognized leader of the Prohibition forces of the country.

— Five hundred rounds of ball cartridges having been successfully fired from a machine gun mounted on the upper deck of a Zeppelin air-ship recently, the possibility of aerial warfare has been definitely established. The balloon was flying at the rate of twenty-two yards a second when the experiment was made. The German naval authorities have now decided to build ten air-ship stations, four on the Baltic and six on the North Sea.

— John Pierpont Morgan, America’s foremost financier, died in Rome, Italy, on March 31. Collapse, following nervous prostration, caused his death. The body will rest in the mausoleum which he built in Cedar Hill Cemetery, Hartford, Conn., and the funeral service will probably be held in the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, New York City. His fortune, which will be largely inherited by J. Pierpont Morgan, Jr., is estimated to be $300,000,000.

— The committee on wild life protection of the National Conservation Congress is preparing to seek national legislation for the protection of birds. Farmers and especially fruit growers are favoring the appeal. It said that about $420,000,000 worth of foodstuffs is destroyed by insect pests every year, and that these pests would themselves be destroyed if the birds were protected. The birds which are said to be the best for keeping down the insect plague are all song-birds, swallows, quails, woodpeckers, blackbirds, doves, and nighthawks.

To their union were born six children, of whom four sons are living. Brother Clough had an active, energetic spirit in the communities where he lived. He and his wife accepted present truth nearly thirty years ago. He was local elder of the Ash Grove and Madison churches for many years, and will be greatly missed by our people in their church work. Although eighty-eight years of age, he seldom missed being present at, and taking a leading part in, the Sabbath services, having attended the Sabbath preceding his death, when he gave a tender appeal to the members to prove loyal and true to the message to the end of life. It seemed a fitting benediction to his life-work. The funeral was held in the Baptist church, where a large concourse of friends gathered to attend the service. E. G. HAYES.

She was born at Francestown, N. H., in 1846, so had attained her sixty-seventh year. In 1891 she married Ferdinand Morse, who now resides with his son, Dr. John Morse, in Porto Rico. Her husband was unable to be with her in her prolonged illness, and until the very last she was planning to join him in Porto Rico. Dr. John Morse and his wife, Dr. Jean Whitney Morse, and Mrs. Cora Morse accompanied her to the East, as she greatly desired to be near her brothers and the scenes of her childhood. Everything that love could prompt was arranged for her comfort. Her two brothers, L. F. Martin of Winchendon, Mass., and W. S. Martin of Wellesley, Mass., with their families, were able to visit her often, and were present at the funeral in Roxbury, conducted by the writer. She was taken to the beautiful village of Rindge, N. H., where she sleeps beside her mother, grandmother, and brother, who were one with her in the Seventh-day Adventist faith.

At the time of her death she was a faithful member of the Knoxville church.

H. LESLEY SHOUP.

Her parents were Canadian French Roman Catholics, and brought her up in that faith. In the year 1856 she was married to Francis Soucey, and to this union were born eight children, six of whom survive her, five being present at her bedside. Four brothers survive her. About 1860, under the influence of Father Charles Chiniquy, who left the Catholic faith, Father and Mother Soucey accepted the light of the gospel as far and as fast as they saw it. They then lived at Martinton, Iroquois Co., Ill. About 1878 Elder D. T. Bourdeau preached the message in their neighborhood, and the entire family accepted the truth of the gospel. Sister Soucey's love for the truth of God was very sincere. She believed in making God's service the first business of her life. In 1883 the whole family moved to O'Brien County, Iowa, and resided there until 1891, when they moved to College View, Nebr., and have lived there ever since.

GUTHRIE.

"The Speaker's Manual"

Few public speakers are entirely free from errors of pronunciation. Oftentimes the very best thoughts of a speaker lose their force by being conveyed to the people through words incorrectly pronounced. Sometimes this is the result of carelessness, but the hearers are apt to think it is because of ignorance of the correct form.

“Speaker's Manual” is a handy little companion for study and reference. It contains the correct pronunciation of over 2,000 words commonly mispronounced. Just the right size to fit the pocket. Bound in cloth, 25 cents; leather, 50 cents.

Washington Foreign Mission Seminary

The Washington Foreign Mission Seminary is completing another year of school work. The attendance of the last year has been the largest which the institution has ever enjoyed. An excellent class of students has been in attendance. A larger number of the students this year are under missionary appointment than for any preceding year. It affords a truly refreshing experience to attend the students' Friday evening prayer-meetings. As one listens to the earnest purposes expressed by these young people who have devoted their lives to God for service, he unconsciously catches the spirit of enthusiasm and missionary zeal which these testimonies breathe. Prof. M. E. Kern and his associate teachers have labored hard and faithfully during the last year to give to those attending the school every possible advantage. God has abundantly blessed their efforts, and we believe the results of this year's work will be rich with generous service for God in the lives of those who are students.

Our brethren and sisters in and around Chicago will be interested to learn that Prof. W. W. Prescott will lecture in that city, on Romanism, Friday, Sabbath, and Sunday evenings, April 11, 12, and 13, at 8 P. M. He will also speak at 3 P. M., Sunday, April 13. The lectures will be given in the Baptist church at the corner of Ashland Boulevard and Monroe Street.

Missionary Departures and Tahitian Book

By Editor

In our first issue of this year we printed a list of departures for the mission fields during 1912, showing ninety-seven recruits going out during the year. That list omitted names as follows: G. M. Brown and family, Cuba; Chas. C. and Mrs. Belgrave, India; and, from Australia, R. M. and Mrs. Adams, Society Islands; Miss Osborn and L. A. Butler, Fiji. This brings the list for 1912 up to one hundred five.

We have received from the Avondale Press (Australia) a copy of a book, “Thoughts on Daniel,” in the Tahitian language, the preparation of the manuscript in Tahitian evidently being the work of Mrs. I. F. Cady. It is nicely printed and well illustrated.

The Washington (D. C.) Sanitarium

is enjoying its usual patronage for this time of year. The house is comparatively well filled with an excellent class of guests, and a good spirit exists in the family. The Lord is blessing the work of the institution. Any of our brethren and sisters in the territory contiguous to Washington, who need medical attention, would find in this institution excellent care, and we believe the needed help. The Sanitarium might be greatly helped by our readers recommending it to their friends and neighbors who are in need of medical aid. Literature descriptive of its work will be gladly furnished at any time. By inducing your neighbors to come to the Sanitarium for help, you may be the means of not only putting them in the way of temporal benefit, but of starting a chain of influences in their lives which will bring eternal gain. The same spirit of prosperity which has attended the main institution has been enjoyed by the branch at No. 2, Iowa Circle, in the city of Washington.

Progress of Our Work in German East Africa

It is interesting to note the splendid beginning for our work which has been made in German East Africa, as indicated in the articles from Elder L. R. Conradi. At one time, within the memory of many of our readers, this region was a vast unknown land of darkness. God used David Livingstone in a wonderful manner in opening up the continent to the knowledge of the world. The Christian missionary pioneered the way for the measure of civilization which has since followed, and now our workers are treading in the footsteps of Livingstone.

Sabbath Observance in Divided Families

ONE who has been brought up in a Sabbath-keeping home where all the members of the household love and serve God, can not appreciate the article in our Home and Health department, “The Sabbath on a Sheep Ranch.” There are many, however, who know what it is to observe the Sabbath of the Lord under the most trying circumstances. Their families are divided. The mother, the husband and father, or older children are unbelievers or members of other churches. It is for the benefit of these that Sister Bainbridge writes.

Preparing the General Conference Camp

THE work of preparing the camp for the next General Conference has been going forward for the last two or three weeks. The grounds around the Seminary have been laid out in blocks. These have been subdivided and staked for tents. A large amount of lumber for tent flooring and other uses has been delivered on the grounds. Soon the work of pitching tents will begin, and the grounds will present busy scenes until the opening of the Conference.

Additional Australasian Union Delegates

By Editor

SOME time ago we printed the names of the Australasian Union delegates to the General Conference. Since then the following additional delegates have been appointed: A. W. Anderson, editor of the Australasian Signs of the Times; L. D. A. Lemke, general field agent; and S. H. Amyes.

Asiatic Division Delegates En Route

In addition to members of the Asiatic Division missions on furlough in this country, the following delegates to the General Conference from that field are doubtless on the way to America now: J. H. Evans, F. H. DeVinney, C. L. Butterfield, F. A. Allum, H. F. Benson, R. W. Munson, and Miss Mimi Scharffenberg.

Ohio Flood Victims Need Prayer

Many are still anxiously waiting for definite news regarding friends and relatives living in the danger zone of the recent floods. A night letter from Elder E. K. Slade, president of the Ohio Conference, states that the homes of many of our brethren have been destroyed. It is not yet definitely known whether any perished in the flood, but it is feared that several have. Let us pray for those who have suffered affliction in this terrible disaster.

Courage in Porto Rico

The following note of courage comes from Elder William Steele, of the island of Porto Rico. He says: “We are only about thirty dollars short of being self-supporting, as our tithes, offerings, and gains on book sales lacked only that much of paying all salaries and expenses of the mission. We sent to the union conference $1,000 to pay for the books we received, and have over $500 on hand. We are full of courage, and expect to see advance all along the line this year.”

Another Church Organized in the Philippines

Word from Elder E. M. Adams, of Manila, reports the organization of another church in the Philippines, with a membership of twenty-seven.

Detamore Takes Up Work in East Indies

It is a good message that Elder F. A. Detamore sends the Mission Board as he takes up work in the East Indies: “My health and courage are both good. I like the field, the climate, the people, and the work and workers.”

The Message in Ping-yang

A NOTE from Dr. Riley Russell, of Chosen (Korea), says: “We are in Ping-yang, the second city of Chosen. A city with a history of twenty-two hundred years, it is now hearing the message for these last days. Some are obeying the call.”
