Major Saith Writes EaterUIalaf ly of This Fanoas Soathera EsUte. Washington, June 9th. In an automobile of a friend, was driven over to Arlington Cem etery and enjoyed the exercises of Confederate Memorial Day. Arlington, formerly the magnili cent home of Gen. U. K. Lee, is situate on the Virginia side of the Potomac river, on the brow of a high bluff, from which can be seen the Valley of the Potomac, broad and lxautiful; the grand old river ever rushing along its turbid wa ters washing the southern side of the Capital city of the Nation. I will attempt no description of this noble home, whose pillared portico looks so imK)sing from the cit.v It must le seen to lie appreciated as it looms up in the distance vi,th its gabled front suportod by six large colonial columns ami then your thoughts will revert to its last owner, the greatest of all the Con federates, and back to George Washington Parke XJustis, who built this suierb mansion (finished in lMW). and liack to Daniel Parke Custis, who married Martha Dan bridge, tlie lielle of Williamsburg, the old colonial capital of Virginia, and one step further back to John Custis, who, coming from the east ern sliore. settled on this tract of land of 1,1C0 acres, paying there for 5.i,.M). John Custis left Arlington to his son, Daniel Parke Custis, who died leaving a wife and two children, John Parke and Kleanor. George Washington married his widow, Martha Custis, nee Martha Dan d ridge, Ijecoming the father-in-law to the two children. Moved to Mt. Vernon, Washington's home, on the banks of the same river 15 miles Udow. Kleanordied in girl hood; her brother, John Parke Custis, married a Miss Calvert. In 1 7S 1 he died, leaving two orphans, Nelly and George Washington Parke Custis. Washington adopted these children, the grandchildren of his wife. G. W. P. Custis mar ried Mary Lee Fitzhugh. (kie daughter only survived this union, who inherited Arlington, and be came the happy bride of Holiert Fid ward Ioo. Through Miss Mary Custis, (Jen. Iee became the ios sessor of this noble estate. "From these halls he hears the roar of distant war."1 He gave it up and joined the ranks of his mother, the proud old State of Virginia. Sitting on the jorch with its huge columns, at least k2t feet in circumference, one could but think: Now indeed Pm treading on holy ground, "put off thy shoes from off thy feet" feeling. Here trod Marse ltobert, as the loys loved to call him, every inch a man, with his firm, determined stes predisposi tioning his determination-to hold his jiosition at the close of the ter rible battle of Sharpsburg against the ail vice of all his generals to re treat across the Potomac. The re sult justifying his suiierior judg ment recrossing the Potomac without the loss of prestige, a gun or military stores, and preserving the morale of his troojis. Here too strode George Washington in his young, palmy, courting days with elastic, springing steps, danc ing his way into the heart of Mrs. Martha Danbridge Custis. It needs not to give the history of the attempted confiscation of the Arlington place by the Lmted States Government, acquiring a quasi title by selling it for taxes, and the adoption by the liovern ment of Gen. Myers" suggestion to desecrate it by making it the charnel house for dead union sol- liers. Under the beautiful grove of large oaks as far as the eye could see are rows and rows and rows of small white marble stones indicating the graves of over '20,- 000, besides the monument of hun dreds of officers on the northern side of tle road leading to the mansion from one of the entrance gates, made of marble, arched and inscribed. In the rear of the mansion is the Temple of Fame ujwn which is in- ... r ll' I ! scribed the names oi v asmngion and other Generals. It is needless to say Iee's name the greatest of English speaking generals is not included. Near the temple of Fame is a granite mausoleum erec ted to "The Unknown Dead," be neath which report the bones of our 12,000 soldiers gathered from the various battlefields of lrginia. At the four corners of this platte are planted four cannon in penen- dicular portion with the large muzzle and up, which looks well a sentable adornment, well adopt ed to commemorate the unrecog nizable, "the unknown dead. The Confederate Cemetery, con sisting of four acres, has been set aside by Congress, at the instance of President McKinley, for the in terment of Confederate soldiers of the boys who wore the gray and quite a number of them here sleep the sleep of the just who fall lighting for the right. Rest on embalmed and sainted dead! fWr a the blood ve eave: No impions footsteps here shall tread The hertiage or your grave. On the 9th day of June, 1907 Memorial Day a large crowd of thousands gathered to witness ami tarticiiate in the exercises in memory of the Confederate dead who lie in Arlington.

Here comes another discouraged clergyman, so much discouraged that he backs down out his pulpit. Late advices from Chicago are to the effect that Kev. Thaddeus A. Snively, disgusted lecausc his par ishioners are fonder of automo biling, golling, and country out ings on Sunday than attendance at church services, has resigned the rectorship of St. Chr.vsostom's Episcopal Church, one of the fashionable in the city. "It seems that the whole world is going pleasure mad," Mr. Snively says. "First, it was the bicycle fad, then golf, and now it is automo biling, plus golf and Sunday house parties. Whether my parish has lieen hit harder by these fads than other parishes or distric ts is more than I can say, but I am inclined to think so." Ami thereunto the reverend gentleman added this ex tremely iossimistie statement: "Everybody knows there is a steady decline all along the social fabric in church going and the en thusiasm for church work. Where or wheuit will end nobody knows." We think this despondent preach er is mistaken in his belief that every IhhI.v knows there, is a steady decline in zeal for church work. Thousands of ministers and mil lions of good fieople do not know and will not Ixdieve any such thing. Church statistics are by no means discouraging. Chicago, however, is exceptional in almost almost all respects. That city is by far the world's greatest wonder in the suddenness of its creation, in all the detials and this stupen dous results of its progress. No thing even remotely resembling Chicago's evolution has ever been in any other country or age. .And that city gives more money for educational and religious work than ahy in the United States ex cept New York. It has its faults, to lie sure, but it is a grand Held for the right kind of work in the ministry. Conductor Killed Neck Car Wheels. Broken by (Winston Siiliin.

Use of tee Druf Spreading Even Ckildrea are Victims. (Providence Journal.; An item in the news columns of one of the New York dailies re cords the attempted suicide of a boy sixteen years of age. It is probable that this, boy will die; one can hardly wish that he should live, indeed for the cause of his effort to end his life with the cocaine habit. It seems that in the boy's home, Newark, N. J., this veritable curse has reached such proiortions that a crusade has been organized to stamp out the illegal selling or use of the drug. Over 100 arrests have al ready been made, and this unfort unate lad evidently feared public disgrace if he did not put an end to a ruined life. ""His relatives hail made every effort to cure him of that fatal habit, but no means could be found to rob the cocaine of its facination for the lov. At the time when he was found half dead several boxes of cocaine were in his pockets. The widespread use of this drug has reached a ioint where cocaine should be recognize as a national menance. In China the govern ment, under l uan Shih-Kal, is making a steady and determined fight against the opium habit. In this country the cocaine habit- universally recognized by physi cians as theiost dangerous of all artificial means of stimulating or deadening the faculties is gain ing headway at a rate so rapid that those who have studied the situation hesitate to predict the irobable results. Not alone among the white race but among the ne groes also has the cocaine habit reached alarming projx)tions. A wfiter in one of the current ieri- odicals relates a case in which the negroes working in a certain place were systematically led into de bauchery by a fiend in human shaic a white-man who induced them to use cocaine, and thus reduced them fairly efficient workers to idlers or brutes, according to na tural tendencies. The effect of cocaine is acknow- edged to be without exception lcrnicious when used for any pur pose other than a strictly therap eutic one. It debases the- mind much more quickly than opium, and its effect on the vital forces is almost immediate. Deterioation of every part of the bodily system is the penalty for its use. No pos sible excuse for employing its agency without a physician's order can be found. And yet in spite of all these things, in spite of the new laws by which all so-called "medicines" containing cocaine must be plainly labeled the scourge is spreading. Without doubt we, have to thank these "medicines" for a good part of the evil. Many persons were in the habit of using powders containing cocaine before the new laws were enacted without the slightest suspicion of the fatal taste which they wore thus acquiring. There is however at the pres ent time no reason for condoning the action of any one who in order to put an end to a temporary discomfort endangers the health of his mind and body by using any formula which contains cocaine without the express orders of a physician. Unfortunately we can not hope that a persistent effort on part of all sane-minded people will stamp out the cocaine habit it has gone too far for that but such action will inevitably contri bute toward this not merely desir able but essential end. If we are not to find a large element in our population speed ly on a lower plain than the Chinese as users of drugs, authorities and citizens must co-operate in all parts of the country to make the word "cocaine" abhorred of every decent person unless used in connection with the description of seance in the den tist's chair or of a surgical ojiera tion. Sizing up a Town. If you were going to investigate a location, wouldn't your first step lie to send for copies of the local paiers and study their advertise ments? In no other, way could you put your tinger so quickly and surely on - the pulse of trade. You could tell much more easily than by walking through the streets whether it was a live town or a dead one, and just what forms of business were most active. And if you judge another town in this way how about your own ? Fame. It flows like electricity through your veins; it does the work. If yon are wasting away, take Hollister's Rxky Mountain Tea. 3" cents. Tea or Tablets Martin Drug Company. Never forget you are a part of the town, and that your own de portment helps to make up the strangers' estimate of the place. Buy all you can at home. Every dollar that is sent or carried away from home makes the towu. that much poorer. If you have the means Invest in something that will give somebody employment.

The empty iew apiears to le a source of much annoyance, not to say distress, to many clergymen. In the annual church conventions of various denominations this, is one of the principal subjects touch ed uion in the rejmrts, sermons, and discussions. There is not much complaint of a falling off in church attendance on the part of women, but there is said to be a serious decline in masculine attend ance. Not only in church conven tions, but in the organs of several denominations is this subject harp ed upon. And in some instances the preacher, in his regular, Sun day sermon, is heard bitterly com plaining to those who are there because they are not more numer ous. Various exiedients have been tried in the hope of filling the vacant seats. Sensationalism has leen stretched to the utmost by freakish performances. This may attract for a few Sundays a curi ous crowd, but it cannot build up a church or retain the growth that has been achieved by better meth ods: Nor will complaining in the press or scolding in the pulpit in duce the reluctant to go to. church. The place of the church service can nol 1x3, filled by an entertain ment befitting a theater. People do not go to church to lx? amused. Nor will sermons that appeal main ly to the .intellect draw a crowd. People do?not go to church for in tellectual expansion, although there is no demand for weaklings in the pulpit. Political discourses or semi-political or any other se cular preachments will not serve as an upbuilder of a church or a promoter of - regular attendance. Next to a good intellect, well cul tivated, the chief requisite in a preacher is sincere piety. Sincer ity is not easily stimulated. A minister whose heart, whose very soul, is not in his work ought to get out of it. It is for spiritual uplifting that eople go tqchurch. Men feel the need of this as much as women do, and it is only the greater devotion of women that makes them more regular church goers than 'men. , There are churches in this city whose mem bership and congregations are growing all the time.
