HARLOW TELES OF mis RECENT TRIP THROUGH THAT REPUDLIC IN TUE INTEREST OF ‘THE WORLD'S FAIR COMMISSION—THE PEOPLE— STIBLE MINERAL DEPOSITS. HE AUDIENCE THAT assembled in the lecture hall of the N jonal Museum last evening was highly entertained with an account of a trip through Bolivia by at. C. H. Harlow, U. s ‘The oceasion was a special meeting of the National Geographic Society. of which Mr. Gardiner G. Hubbard is president Lieut. Harlow visited Boltvia in bebalf of the exposi- tion at Chicago, bis special mission being te visit the mize owners and get them interested in the fair so that they would make a good ex- Bibit of the gold, silver and copper resources which are so ndant in that country. In parsuit of his mission Lieut. Harlow traveled extensively in the little republic, and, as rail- roads are not numerous, he traveled mostly on mule back. In this way he enjoyed unusual facilities for seeing the country and for study- ing the habits, customs and’ peculiarities of this strange people. He docs not, ashe frankly informed his hearers, profess to be a geologist or minerajogist, but he is fond of the strange and the curious and especially of those things which relate to the ethnology of a country. HE NOTED WHAT HE SAW. He noted what he saw and he put down in his journal what was told him and, therefore, he is not prepared to vouch for the entire ac- earacy of all his statements, especially thos ating to the mineral wealth of the coun! ‘The lieutenant carried with him a kodak, im this way he was able to preserve and bring ox LAKE * home with him many of the enrions seenes which he witnessed.

He read some extracts from his journal, which gave his impressions as they were freshly jotted down. SOME STATISTICAL PACT, The lecturer said that Bolivia was high up in the Cordilieras range of mountains, away from the seacoust. It comprises some 700,000 square tiles of territory, which supports a population of some twoands half million. The soil is capable of producing every known kind of grain, while the resources of gold, silver and copper seem to be practically exhaustless. The form of goverument is republican. There is president and two vice presidents, who are elected by the bullote of the people who are able to read and write. The president serves four years aud is then not eligible for re- election. There are erghieen members in the setate and about seventy in the house.

Morrell’s National Academy of Fine Arts were filled with the guests and members of the Unity Club on Wednesday evening. the chief attrac- tion being the announcement that Prof. A. P. Montagne of Columbien University would k on “The Development of the Roman rama.” Owing to indisposition Prof. Mouta- gue was unable to be present, but his scholarly lecture, which was read by the secretary of the club, more than satisfied the expectant audience. The subject was discussed by Mr. Charles Davies, Mr. R. A. Phillips and Mr. J. K. Miller. After a short recess of social inter course the following program was rendered: Piano solo by Miss L. Facius, who was also the accompanist of the evening: duet, “The Pale Moon,” by Mrs, Daw and Mrs. Morgan; re: ing of Mra. J. L. McCreery's poem, “There No Death,” by Mr. Silas Boyce. who also an account of how the auttorship of the had ‘been erroneously attributed to Bulwer and others. A humorous speech from Mr. McCreery, together with a solo, “The ingale’s Trill,” by Mrs. Daw, and a fine ‘olo by Mr. G. F. Moss concluded the evening's entertainment. _——_— Army Orders.

The officers tenderly lift the old gentleman into the wagon, the driver whips his horse and with warning clang of bell the wagon speeds away to the new Emergency Hospital. They enter on the south side and the police- man rings the door bell. ‘The janitor answers. “Emergency case,” saya the officer. The janitor touches an electric button and at the same time opens the double doors, A stretcher on wheels is rolled out to the wagon, the ‘‘case” lifted upon it and wheeled into theemergency room. This is an apartment enieulnted to crente n creepy feeling in one. Row after row of bright surgical instru- ments line the shelves of a tall glase-covered case. Rolls of bandages, wads of cotton and bottles innumerable, with spouges and a water basin, complete the contents of the room, not to mention the operating table in the center. Dr. Atkinson, the resident physician, and Dr. Hunt, bis assistant, await the arrival of the case which is to demand their services, having been summoned from upstairs by the electric call bell. The man with the broken leg seems to be in considerable pain. He is very feeble, too, and the doctor gives him a hypodermic injection of morphine. broken leg Then he is undressed and the is set and bandaged. The wheeled stretcher iv again brought into service and the patient rolled upon it to the elevator and carried upstairs toa bed in the hospital ward. Meanwhile, from papers found in his pocket, his identity is established and his friends notified. ‘This, in brief, is the description of a typical case treated at the Emergency Hospital in this city. It is an incident that may occur every day, with variations. 5 CABES OF ATTEMPED SUICIDE. One of the most frequent variations in emer- gency cases is the rescuing from death of peo- ple who have attempted suicide by poisoning. ‘The majority of these cases are women of a cer- tain class. A recent instance is a fair eample of similar occurrences: A young woman tited of her fife and surroundings took thirty and one-fourth grains of morphine as a means of producing a decided change in her condition. ‘This was enongh to kill #ix people. She was brought to the hospital and given a hypoder- mic njection of appo-morphine, _ which served as an emetic. Afterward she was given a dose of atrophine. Then the stomach pump was put into operation, the con- tents of the stomach were removed, the stomach washed out with warm water, after which a cup of hot, strong coffee was pumped in.

COST OF THE NEW BUILDING. The lot on which the new building is tobe erected cost about @17,000 and was purchased through Mr. Jay B. Smith of Smith & Jeffords. The Presbyterian alliance of Washington city contributed $12,500 toward the purchase of the lot, Work on the new building will begin soon and will be pushed rapidly, as the present ructure is inadequate in every way for the needs of the growing congregation. TRE PASTOR'S EARNESTNESS. Speaking of the work of building the new cburch the pastor at » church meeting sai “I stood by and watched the first stone laid for the new church, and it was laid in praye! Now, I want every member of this church who passes that corner, or looke that way, or thinks of the stones being gathered there, to put up a pinzer,to God to consecrate every stone to Kris onor.”” Continuing be said he hoped that. the struc- ould be dedicated free of debt and ster supper, or a fair, or a carnival or any mich thing within its walis for the purpose of money raising, ever! think the time has come when the church of Goa should be supported without the aid of such devices. I hope the building may be con- secrated from tho first to evangelistic work. Isit too much to hope that we may have one continued revival there? The Lord grant it.” CORNER STONE SERVICES. The corner stone servicos next Satarday will begin at 4:30 p.m., and ® cordial invitation bas been extended to various Christian congrega- tions, In event of bad weather the ceremonies will be postponed until the following week. ‘The order of exercises has been arranged as follows: 1.

BOW THE CONGREGATION HAS GROWN WITHIN THE PAST THREE YEARS—PLAXS OF THE PRO- PORED EDIFICE AND HOW IT WILL BE AR- BANGED—TME CORNER STONE SERVICES. On Saturday afternoon of next week will be held the services attending the laying of the corner stone of the new house of worship of the Eastern Presbyterian Church, which will be conducted by the pastor, Rov. Maxwell Cor- nelius, through whose efforts the church con- Gregation has greatly increased, as bas the chureh membership. The young ladies of the church have been particularly active in asaist- ing the work, and when the new structure is completed they hope to see the present mém- bership further increased until the church edi- fice will be insufficient to accommodate th worshipers of the Presbyterian faith in the eastern section. When the present frame structure wa: erected that part of the city was not very thickly settled The church was organized about twenty years ago. when the Sabbath school was started and superintended by Mr. B. H. Warner, F. C. Cate and others, and through unyaralleled discouragements and dis- asters it has held its ground, aud although not located.in a prominent piace the members managed to maintain their organization. About three years ago the present pastor ac- cepted a call to this church and during his pas- torate there has beon such an increase that the new build g with more commodious quarters was found to be absolutely uecessary. The Rev. Cornelius came here from San Francisco, having filled several important pastorates in that section, He soon won the members of his congregation, whi marked increase in a short THE NEW CHURCH EDIFICE.
