Hammer, Field Organizer of the "Gideons," and State president of .this organization in Maryland. -The name "Gideons" Is that which was adopted for this organization among Christian traveling men, at its beginning in May, 1898. The objects of this association are Christian fel lowship, and recognition, regardless of denomination, and to scatter the seeds of Christ's kingdom in travel, touch ing this man and that In dally life for Jesus Christ." The organisation has grown from. Its three charter members In 1899 to a movement that Is world-wide in Its Influence. Camps of Gideons are formed in 85 States and In Canada; the enrollment of the b6dy reaches far above 6,000 members and is constantly growing. This organi zation Is national. State, ana local, with no creed but Christ, and Inter denominational, and co-operating with all Christians. The members of this order obligate themselves to improve every opportunity for doing Christian work as they travel from point to point in their work as business men, Chicago Is the headquarters of the national secretary, and "The Gideon," the monthly magazine of the organlza tlon Is published there. District sec retaries have the oversight of the In terests of the order within certain limits of territory throughout the country. Mr. Hammer spent last Sunday in Greensboro, and addressed a body of men on the subject of the organiza tion. During his stay In Charlotte he will be glad to talk with men about the organization and the work that is being done by this organization of Christian traveling men throughout the country.

One of the most meritorious of the many bills ratified by the last Legis lature was that providing for the establishment and main tenance of a tuberculosis hos pital at some point in the State where those afflicted with the disease may be treated at actual cost. The bill, which was Introduced In the House by Representative Gordon and in the Senate by Senator Holt was fathered by Dr. J. E. Brooks, of GreenBboro. It calls for the appro priation of $15,000 for the establish ment of such an institution and 15,000 yearly for Its maintenance. A board of trustees, consisting of 12 promi nent legislators, was appointed to ake the matter in hand and se to its ac complishment. The statistics show that the great white plague has a strong hold on the State. As the conditions now stand, only those afflicted who have wealth, can obtain treatment In the sanlto rlums. The charges range from $50 to $100 a week in the hospitals where the treatment Is In the hands of high ly paid specialists. It Is the plan of those who drafted the bill, to pur chase a tract" of land at the most suitable place In the State, erect a number of cottages there, secure the service of experts and then throw open the doors to any and all who de Blro treatment. The charges will be no moro than enough to defray the operating expenses of the Institution. The trustees have all of this work In charge. They will fix upon a site and make necessary arrangements for the erectton of the cottages. Further details will be announced later. Rev. Mr. Orr oes to Pennsylvania to Hold Mertlns. Rev. W. W. Orr, li. D.. will leave on Wednesday for Heavers, Penn., where he will asulut Jtev. L. R. Miller In a series of meetings. Mr. Miller Is a son of Rev. R. G. Miller, of this county, nnd Is pastor of the Ufilted Prer-bytorlan church at Heaver. Dr. Orr preached two able sermons yesterday In the Emit Avenue Taber nacle; his subject at the morning eer vlco v.os "The Christian's Estate," and at r.ltfht tho great question "What must I do to inherit eternat lifer' A meeting in the East Avenue Tab ernacle will be conducted In May. and Dr. Orr will be assisted by Rev. Ralph Atkinson, of Chicago, who Is a suc cessful evangelist In the United Pres byterian Church. 'For Aldermen in Ward Three. Tc the Editor of The Observer: There Is a largo number of Demo cratic voters In Ward. 3, who are busi ness men and mechanics of various occupations, who would like to vote for George A. Howell, John W. Todd and W. P. Strange for aldermen in the primary to bo hold April 16th.

WALES LOSES BY COLLAPSE. Prince Thought Himself, . Shrewder Than father. London Cable in New York Wprld. The Prince of Wales, according to a ; stock exchange rumor, has lost heavily by the collapse of American and Canadian securities, so heavily, in fact, that he needs assistance to tneet his differences. The Prince always affects an attl tude of disapproval of his ; father's friendship with Cassel and other financiers, and nothing was known of his own speculative ventures un til the break brought the revelation. It appears that he acted on the ad vice ot an aged Canadian multi millionaire, who himself has been seriously hit. The difficulties of the Prince of Wales have caused subdued gratlfl cation among the King's set, especial ly as he had been so severely crltl clsing the conduct of the latter In becoming Involved In the Siberian mine fiasco. It will take the Prince many years of rigid economy to liquidate his liabilities. Two Able Sermons at the First Bap tist Church. The motto of the First Baptist church concerning tho cause of mis sions is this: "Every member a con tributor to the missionary enterprises of the church," and this motto is kept! prominently before the membership. Yesterday was Home Mission day at this church, and Rev. J. T. Love, D. D., a native of North Carolina, but now a resident of Atlanta, preach ed at both services. Dr. Love Is As sistant Secretary of the Home Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Church. He is very successful in his official position, and Is an able, earn est preacher. He was heard by large congregations at both services yes terday, and his appeal for the cause of Home Missions, including the con tributions of the Woman's Society, amounted to about $1,000. Last night the music, rendered by the male quartette and the solo by Mr. It. N. Oliver, added much to the service. Dr. Love read as the basis of his sermon the latter part of the first chapter of John the account of the calling of Christ's first disciples. A FARCICAL INVESTIGATION. Mr. James A. Malcolm: Here.

Raleigh Christian Advocate. "The whole matter or the leelsiatlvol Investigation proved unfortunutv, fnollsh. and farcical. The commtcttai simply marched up hill and down again without finding out 'who struck Billy Patterson.' "Mr. Simpson can tako care of him self. He has clearly shown his ability to do this. But In Mr. Durham's case. we feel that an expression from the paper which represents tne ctiurcn of which he Is a minister iluuld be forth coming in .he. first issue possible In thli "caie there was a Tallinn to ncroimt of a minister who hn dared to exprnis his views In a sermon preached in the house of God and to maintain that right In his State's capital.

As editor of great Church of which he Is a humble and honorable minister, we could not say less. We might say aiuch more. But this Is enough."

Spokesman-Review. Visitors to Princeton have noted the complete Indifference ot Grqver Cleveland to what he may wear. During one of the Talc-Princeton games played at Nassau a reporter from a prominent New York paper was told to get an Interview from the former President." Arrived at the grand stand; he had pointed out to htm a stout gentleman clad In an old homespun suit that .didn't look as It It had coat 110 when hew, The whole outfit waa crowned by a battered slouch bat ' Unable to- believe that this was Mr. Cleveland, the reporter.
