The majority of the Newport's pas sengers were women and children, rela tives of mlnlna- engineers and planta tion superintendents In the various states on the west roast.

Michael' of C lirrlrMon as Firm Now as in HZC. Architectural Record. St. Michael's In Charleston. S. C. was at the time of Its construction the fin est church edifice In the United States, and was one of the very few entirely of masonry construction. Inclu'l'ng the tower as far aa the bei'ry. The mate rial Is brick covered with stucco, and the design, although a trifle heavy. Is most excellent. The name of the archi tect Is a matter of some question; the only evidence which I have been able to obtain on the subject being that the designs were made In Kngland and brought to this country. The South Carolina Gazette of February 22. 1752. Informa Its readers that the church was to be erected from the designs of one J.imes tilbson. A there is no mem orv of any Kngltsh archltec. by this name and James Olhbs was then at tt:e height of his reputation. It aeema a not illogical assumpt'on that James ;iths wss the architect. The building is 1.1 feet long. Including the portico. nd O feet wide, while the tower Is 1(1 feet high. The roof is of slate. The steeple Is surmounted by a gllc ball of black vpres, covered with copper, and when the ball wast blown from the ateeple during a severe storm, it made a dent In a heavy flagstone pavemen without injury to the ball, which was picked up and restored to Its original position. The cornerstone was laid by the Gov ernor of the state Feoruary 1". 1T5S. The church was first opened for services on February 1. lltl. nine vesrs having been consumed In Its rrectlon. and the selecMon of a satis factory pastor. The c.3-k and chimes were bought In ITS! and the chimes are of very notable excellence. The com munion service was glvn to the churrb hv Governor Foone. of South Carolina. nd the church organ was bought by subscription In 1TS. IJke most all colonial churches this one suffered vl . Is.ltudes during the revolutionary War: its rector a as a Tory and was compelled to resign, leaving the church xffairs In a somewhat chaotic condl t ion. Materially It suffered through the Ins of Its leaden roof, which was re moved to furnish bullets for the colo nial rifles. During the Civil War the hiirrji was several ,.mi struck by shells from the t'nlon fleet, and as. a precautionary measure the organ and chime were removed from the church and the fine old bells were broken up by Sherman's army In Its match to the sea. After a while they wre reset ami still remain In their original posi tion. Another Incident of the church's history ws made the subject of a poem which 30 years ago used to b' a favo rite for school speaking contests. The plre caught fire nearly at its summit r.d was finally extinguished by a lave, to whom freedrm was (ranted as a reward for his daring. An If two wars and a fire had not lone the church sufficient harm, a cy-.-lne In 13 wrecked the spire and lemaged the roof: while August 21. ;4. the greet earthquake cracked the . !!.

"1 am ready to say. basing my statement on a lifetime spent at sea, that of approxi mately 1(00 souls who went down with that great vessel, there wasn't one that didn't pray In that crisis.

Captain Thompson told of his con version. He said he signed the tem perance pledge many times and broke It. but that he was finally converted during revival services at the church of IT. Talmadge. In New Tork. Speaking of his early experiences. Captain Thompson said: "I always attended Sunday school. But I was a mischievous fellow, and when the teacher's head ws turned. wouM run a pin Into the boy beside me. and then complain to the teacher for compelling me to sit next to such a disturber of the class. It would have done me good If the teacher had arranged for a meeting with me alone some week day. but he never seemed to find that necessary. At 11 my spirits were completely crushed by old women of both sexes, who poured into the ears of my godly mother the state ment I waa all bad. They forgot that all who have feelings have excellen cies. , "I married an American woman In Southern California, and we went to Ireland on our honeymoon.

GIRL OF-12 WEDDED Bridegroom Is Only 16, and It Is Not Elopement PARENTS YIELD CONSENT Impatient Youngsters Have Waited ' Whole Year, and Bride Says Now She Is Full) Old Enough to Know Own Mind. DENVER. April 28. Annie Dctrich. 13 years old. made a winsome, albeit a childish, bride at Littleton, where she and I'd ward Walker. 16 years old, had Journeyed for a wedding ceremony. It seemed more like a rehearsal for a Juvenile play than a real wedding. But It waa not an elopement. Both children iiwi me consent ui mrir parrnis 10 me ceremony. The couple planned to marry nearly a year ago. The bride was then a iyi pll in the eighth grade of the Mont clalr school and lived with her mother and a brother 14 years old. The bride groom made his home with his father, who is a farmer. When they announced that they Intended to wed, their par ents endeavored to dissuade them for a time, but were successful only In a degree. The little miss celebrated her 12th birthday last August. "I am a dozen years old," she de clared, "and that, it seems to me, is old enough for anybody to be when they marry. I am sure any girl ought to know her own mind when she is 12 years old. And I'll not wait any longer to marry Ed. So there!" Fapa Stera la Objecting. Edward had had a ISth birthday several months before. He declared that he needed no more advice from older heads, but when he had about decided that e would rather have the ceremony performed at Golden than at Littleton ami that a ring with a red stone would look prettier on "her" left third flnaer than one with a blue stone Papa Walker put his foot down. Mar rying was all rlht, he said, but not for babies, and he meant to see that there shouldn't be any A-B-C weddings In his family. They'd wait a while, that was all. They did wait, but Impatiently, and finally announced with determination that they would wait no longer. The parents decided it might be best, after all. and both families were fully rep resented at the ceremony. Couple Will "Live ll llk Mother. "We will live with mother." said the new Mrs. Walker, smoothing her short skirts, "Just as I have been doing be fore. You see, I'm mother's baby and I. couldn't stand to go off and leave her any more than she could stand to have me do It. Then I don't know so awfully much about housekeeping, you know; I always went to school till I stopped to do this. I can cook some and sew a little, and Edward thinks 1 11 learn all right." "Sure she will," rejoined 'the slender bridegroom. "Anyhow, I'm willing to take a chance. I'm going to work hard to take care of her, 'cause I think she's worth working for. and I know she'll help me to get through. I'm not very old. of course, but that don't make any difference. Some men aren't men when they're 40 and others start a lot younger. This is no Joke with me or with her, and some of those that are laughing now won't have a chance to smile long." STATE ROAD BONDS HIT Linn County Granges Favor County Unit Plan. ' ALBANY, Or.. April 28. Speclal.) Linn County granges are now discuss ing the proposed road bills, and there appears to be a general sentiment of opposition to any bill which proposes to bond the state for road Improve ment. Oak Plain range.

On his 23th wedding anniversary An drew Carnegie is most pleased by the congratulations he has received that were accompanied by "best wishes for a happy golden anniversary to come." "And if you were ndvlwing a young man who to marry?" Mr. Carnegie was asked. "Young man," interrupted the Laird of Sklbo. beamingly; "I should tell him to choose a girl as near like Mrs. Carnegie as possible." "We have passed 25 years." he con tinued, "without an angry word or a moment's misunderstanding.

Mr. Carneele lifted his eyes to the motto from Confucius which is painted above the paneling on his library wall.

All creeds will fall away, and that one only remain. Not heaven our home, but home our heaven that is what mankind should fix at tention on. That Is to be the aim of all good men on this earth in the Utopian future." Mr. Carnegie said he hoped that a lesson had been taught by the Titanic disaster. "Let us congratulate ourselves that the terrible accident will put an end to these dangers." said he. "We had oa the Titanic an exhibition of human qualities that is very encouraging. Man on earth is Improving. United ac tion to regulate sea traffic will be taken at the Hague, I hope." Candidates Deserve Spanking. Mr. Carnegie closed his. eyes sadly, and folded his hands In his lap. "Is it true." asked the reporter, "that Mr. Roosevelt's activities have been a trial to you?" Mr. Carnegie opened his eyes, unfold ed his hands, adjusted his steel-rimmed spectacles and sat up. "I'd like to spank them both bad.
