THE COLUMBIAN, BLOOMSBURG, PA.
Reaches Millions Approachable
!n no Other Way.
SOME UMIQUE AETMODS
Some Flflurcs Th;.t Give art Idea of
the Great Good the Workers Do In
the Slums How tha Movement Wai
Started by a Woman Pioneer In
America.
According to the unnuul report of
thu Sulvatlon Army, tho work accon
plished during 13UG was pliuuouiunul.
K' arly 12.000.UUO persons attended aor
vices In tuulv hulU during thu year,
'which of course does not Include Urn
other millions they reached In tho
Etri uts millions that no other denom
ination can got at. More than 12.000,-
000 meal a were furnished to hungry
iikmi und 4,000,000 beds HUppll.-d. They
visited and assisted 100,000 faiulllus
who were In distress. They dlstrl
l.uled GOO tons or coal and 122.000
pounds of Ico. 13,000 homeless child
ren were gathered In by these po?;n
l.i i! noted angels of the slums and plac
ed In the snug, warm rescue homes
the army manages to maintain with
the nickels nnd dlnres Its workers pick
up by passing tho tambourlno.
The army Is doing a grand settlo
neiit work In tho slums of the largo
cities. A body of women In plain
(.iimham dresses and aprons will rout
a room In tho worst tenement house
they can find, cloan It up, put In sim
ple furniture and then begin to neigh
L"V among tho pitiful peopV about
them. Thoy nurse the elck, teach tho
v. ill hotter ways of living, conduct
t 'v ing and coolilng cl:utces, plan freFh
ulr excursions for sickly little ones,
l.ihe euro of neglected children whoso
ri.it hers are away at work and nhiviud
t' 1 dead. This Is one way of using
t'.e dime you put Into tho tambourine
15 ut there are still other things that
t!-.. y do with It.
The army owns nearly 3,00o acres
tf I'i'rm land, divided Into colonies,
.it Fort Homle. Cal.; Fort Amity. Col.,
;.:.d Tort Ilerrlck, Ohio. Tho cettlo
l;,' nt workers In the slums gather ui
f, i il!Ies who are having a hard time
cf It and encourage them to make a
new try at life In the open air. Tho
f;.:n!ly Is settled on a good piece of
1 aid with tho privilege of buying It
luier. Many of those located In this
uniiiuo way are making moivey as
chicken raisers, truck gardeners, etc.
A woman first thought of rnrfclng
tVo poplo of tho slums by moans of
the Salvation Army. She was tho
v!rr of a priyushor and saw that the
g. md message her husband was trying
to impart was going ovor tho huaiN
of the people of the great submerg
ed under world of Ixndon. She says
th.it tho big churches with their or
g:ms and orderly equipment remarn
ed vacant of tho pool". She concetv
id tho Idea of going on thu street
and making a poise to attract eyes and
ears that had long been dulled to
thoughts of higher living. The level
then Rtruck Is still beyond the pale
of ordinary 'church work. This wom
an was the wife of William Booth, and
their first service was held In an old
tent In a burying ground In White
chapel London, on Sunday, July 2,
18C5.
A young girl In London had been
converted from tho slums and wanted
to reach the people of her class, even
at tho expense of her own dignity.
She arrayed herself In eccentric style,
with streamers of varied hues floating
from her dress and hair, and carried a
largo placard which read: "I am happy
Eliza." She paraded tho streets and
alleys of the poorer quarters and soon
hud an Immense crowd following her,
many of them old friends and asso
ciates. She of course ltd them to tho
gospel meeting house, whore thoy
heard the music and Bormon.
Tht pioneers In the work of the Sal
vation Army of Amorica were one
commissioner and a party of six
girls who were seut ovor by Oen.
Booth In 1883. One rnomber of this
party, Adjutant Ella Westbrook, is
still living. Tho first service In Am
erica was held in an old chair factory
In Philadelphia. Commander Booth
Tucker, oue of tho highest officers In
the army, was a .Tudgv on the Queen's
Bench In India. He received by
chance a copy of tho War Cry. H
read It and applied for six month.!
leave of absence. He went to London,
where he visited Oen. lVioth and saw
tho operations of the army In Its
campaign against vIop. At tho pnd
of six months nt) resigned his posi
tion as Judge In India nnd applied for
admission to the army as an officer.
He later married th ' daughter of
hi1? commander. This devoted woman,
Emma Booth Tucker was Ullh'd In an
railroad wreck neur Kansas Cltv not
lonr; ago. Oen. William Booth, found
r nnd head of thf'yffcilvriMrm Army.
Is still living, and the vrror'.n will
visit the United States In March on
his way to Japan. His daughter Kvn
Booth Is In Nov York In charge of
the work In this country.
High Prices In Dawson City.
High prloes continue to rule In
Dawson City, which Is probably the
most expensive town In the world.
It Is a thriving place with a popula
tion of over 8.000 with warehouses,
churches, banks, electric lights, wholo
solo nnd retail stores and two up-to-date
newspapers. The newspapers
themselves are worthy of considera
tion In tho light of exponso for they
cost 25 cents a oopy. At thle time
of the yvar three eggs ordered In
a restaurant cost $1.50, while a car
ibou steak costs $1. Boor Is worth

Curious Mistake in Classllicutlon
Caused by Pollen.
Many birds frequenting flowers
for honey or Insects are thus liable
to get their heads covered with pol
len, says the London Globe. And
Rlnee the pollen of different flowers
varies In color a bird may become
yellow-hended, red-headed, bluo
hoaded, etc. This led to a curious
mlstako In the cane of a New Zeal
and bird. This bird was a honey
sucker and a haunter of flowers.
Now, In the early Bummer It vlsltod
most frequently the flowers of the
native flax, and later In tho year fed
chiefly on the fuchsia. The pollen of
tho former Is red, and of tho latter
blue. Hence In the early summer tho
bird appeared with a red hend, and
wns named tho red-headed honey
fieoUer. But when later In tho year
It went to the fuchsia Its head was
stained blue, nnd It was called the
blue-headed honey-soeker. Thus, for
n long time this bird wns thought to
bo two distinct species, and only re
cently was It found that tho red
headed and blue headed were one
and the same, and that tho real color
of the head was blackish brown.
For Delivering Mail.
Devices whereby express trains
collect bags of mail at stations on
tho road without stopping have been
In use extensively for a number of
years. Naturally, those first used
were not entlroly satisfactory, and
Inventors have been endeavoring to
Improve upon them. Many of the
devices patented, although success
ful In every way, have been so com
plicated in construction that their
use became Impracticable. This can
not bo said of the oue shown In the
illustration, which comprises, a sup
porting frame In the center of which
Weight Operates Shovel.
Is pivoted tho shooting mechanism,
Tho latter consists of a shovel hav
ing ut ono end a largo bowl In which
Is placed tho mall bag. On tho end
of the frame opposite tho mall bug
Is a pivoted weight. This weight In
very heavy and la released by a pro
jection on tho passing train. As the
weight descends It strlkos tho hnndle
of tho shovel with great force, swing
ing near the ground the mall bag
continues on Its journey through the
air, entering the open door of the
mall car as It passes the station..
Tettlcoat Yokes.
Since many of tho drosses are
shirred, gathered and plaited around
tho waist, the petticoats must be
shaped over the hips. A good ar
rangement Is to make a rounded
yoke with darta to fit In p'lnce, mak
ing the front deeper than the buck.
The skirt can be sewed to this. Ar
range it in such a manner that It
can bo buttoned and there will be
no need of plna or drawstrings to
arrnngo any unnecessary fulness at
the buck.,
