the disappointment he had experienced
in his ministry to the wealthy and fasbe
'enable congregation of the Fifth Ave-
nue Baptist Church, the Rev. Chas. ka
.A.ked, fornially announced from his pul-
pit yesterday that he had received an
unanimous and enthusiastic call to First
Congregational Church. of San Francisco
and said that h haii neer' unable to
find any good reason wily he anould not
accept. He regretfully acknowledged bis
fears that the great enterprises which
he had hoped to lead as pastor of one
of the wealthiest churches in America,
popularly known as the John D. Rocke-
feller Church, were only "such stuff as
dreams are made of." Notwithstanding
the $10,000 salary offered him wheal he
came here from Pembroke Chapel tn
Liverpool, England, barely four years atelt
and the recent increase to $12,000, or bib
ties of friendship in the Metropolis, he
did not see how he could contemplate a
permanent ministry under present min-
d/Hoes.
He gave the Fifth Avenue congrega-
tion ten days of grace in which to con-
sider the situation before he should say
definitely whether he would accept the
call to the coast.
He chafed under the failure of the
Fifth Avenue Church to provide a larg-
er edifice and to undertake larger en-
terprises.
"So fax as we can see to -day," he de-
clared, "there is no further use for this
church or for my ministry."

uty Police Commiesioner William J.
Flynn and it squad of detectives. Deter-
mined to gain access to the suspected
place, they were finally forced to run
up it ladder to one of the windows front-
ing on Broadway. The excitement which
this move created attracted so many
thousands of people that it was neces-
eery to send for a large force of reserves
and even for an extra patrol of mounted
police to handle the throng.
By the time the police had got into
the room by way of the ladder the
alleged principals in the gambling re-
sort had escaped through some iron -
barred windows in the rear and disap-
peared by way of a roof of a vaudeville
theatre adjoining. No less than two
hundred men were found in the room,
however, and several arrests were made.

GREAT DEMOCRACY
Harvard Professor Lectures in N. Y
on British Empire.
Greatest Mohammedan and Buddhist.
Power in the World.
•••••••••••••••• .111
New York, Marcio re—" The more
kindred nations know of each other the
better they will understand and appre-
ciate each other," said Professor Fred-
erick Caesar de Sumichrast, of Harvard,
to,night before the Imperial Greer of
tiro Daughters of the Empire In Berke-
ley Theatre. In a general. sketch of the
British nuapire he said it included it
quarter of the land aurface of the
globe and More than a moaner of the
population. Under its flag India, he
said, are two hundred different ruees,
so if it be deeided on the point of retie
gion it is the greatest Mohammedan and
the greatest Buddhist power, in the
world. It takes iu the Cannibal Islands,
where until the British came a girl
would ask for human heads as tokens
of love In the matter of courao way her
civilized sister peeks for flowers ea can-
dies.
Great Britain, the professor declared,
is the great democracy of the earth. ahe
governs for the benefit of tier people.
She has been accused of land -grabbing,
yet she has given back more land to
other peoples than any other power.
She restored Cape Breton to the French
in the eighteenth century, and. still at -
lows her Frencia-Canadian subjeots to
exercise their own religion and make
their own laws. Gladstone gavo back
the Transvaal* to the Boers, and in In-
dia native Princes keep their ancestral
domains and native Judges sit side by
side with British colleagued
The British Empire began to grow
first by reason of trade, but other
causes that have fostered it, he said,
are religious differences and surplus
population. Now it consists of five great
selagovenang communities besides India
and the Crown colonies, and wherever
the British flag flies is maintained the
Pax Britanniea.
He quoted the testimony of Ameri-
can missionaries to the retina of Brit-
ish rule In India, and declared that dia.
interested observers, such as they, real-
ized that as yet the natives of India are
not fit to govern themselves, and that
were the British troops withdrawn the
streets of the great cities would run
with blood.
Professor de Sumichrast will give six
other lectures, in whieh he will disetiss
different section a of the 13ritish Empire
in detail and set forth the problems
which confront them. The British Con.
sul-General was the guest of houor at

fowls as follows: Morning feed it good

At night feed mita, wheat, buckwheat and
Indian corn. Milk is a grand egg pro-
ducer, either swaet or sour, as also is
buttermilk. Thialeeding forces the hen;
to lay, and the eggs from herd "forced"

purposes.

COWS ABORTING,
(Fanners Advocate.)
Three of my cows came in quite late-
ly, and their time was not up till about
the fired of ApriL The calves, which
were living, were about the size. of a
small dog. They were very weak, and
died in a few hours. Do you think this
Is abortion, and could you prescribe any
cure for it? I have several more cows,
and am afraid of them going the same
way. I know they could not have been
hurt, for I have water in my stable,
and they are never out. At first I blam-
ed it oit feeding them corn, as I had
given it to them along with hay up to
Christmas. My corn was well saved. Has
been in My barn, but, of course, was
frozen. Since the first. one came in, be.
fore Christmas, I stopped the corn al-
together, Do you think the corn might
be the cause of itt My stable is a large
building, 40x50. The cows are at one
side, and a wide passage, with the horses
at the other side, and, for about a
month, some pigs. Is it unhealthful to
have those pigs there? They are kept
clean all 'the time. The hens, too, run
through the stable in the daytime, but
are shut out at night. The coves seem
to be doing well, and are apparently in
a, good,- healthy condition, up to the
time they come fn. I have been Fading
them carbolic acid sine° Chriettnas, and
see no change. Is there any use of keep-
ing on tat it! Would there be any use
keeping those cows over another year,
or would they be aot to go the same
way?
J. H. S.
Ans.—These are certainly eases . of
aboration, but we are inclined to the
opinion that it is not contagious Owe
tion, as it is unusual to find a number
of cares coming so close together. It
is unlikely that the frozen corn lea
has hail the effeet of mousing abortion,
but it may be that the keepong of hogs
in the same building has been the cause,
especially if the aentilation is not good.
We have little faith in any known med-
ical treatMent for abortion, but advise
cleanlinees, judicious feeding and good
ventilation as preventive measures. Cows
which abort should not be bred again for
at least three monthe. If there is con-
tagious abortion in the Ilene, the
cows aro eitiMost certain to repeat the
act two or three times, after which, as
a rule, they beeorne immune, and carry
their calves the Wall time but as long
as there are abortieg cows'in the stables
otlaers aro liable to contract it.
