Alert, aggressive and keenly intellec tual, the Rev. C. M. Smythe, who retires from the Mississippi-Avenue Congrega tional Church to accept the position of hrakeman for the time being on the O. R. & N. Railroad, on tho first of March, set forth his views of churches ahd the duties of the modern ministry with re markablo candor yesterday afternoon. Mr. Smythe is an Irishman from Lim erick, and still retains a slight taint of the Irish tongue, as he speaks. When in college ho passed through a literary cours? and then took the theological train ing his church requires. "Yes. it is .true I am going back to rail roading," said Mr. Smythe, "but not as high up as conductor, as the paper was pleased to say, but in the humble capacity of brakeman to start with. I shall preach Sundays when at leisure, 'and then, if called, may return to the ministry. "I go back to railroading because my term here ends the first of .the month. I have no pulpit. I have a wife and fam-. ily to support and must do something. I know railroading best, and I will not be a candidate for a pulpit." Then Mr. Smytht-, In farewell, criticized the Portland churches. He said: "All the' churches lack In being prac tical and do not reach the humble worker. It takes, say $150,000, to run the churches on the West Side There are some big churches. Some are brick. Some have trained choirs which sing anthems for cash, and no man can understand a sin gle word these trained .singers say. They are first-class musicians and . are well paid. Now, how many of the members of these big churches with their high-salaried pastors and choirs were resent when 30 friendless girls were turned out of the Paris House and taken to jail? Was there one present from the W. C. T. U., or from these churches to say to even one of these poor, unfortunate girls, 'Come, go to my home. There you shall have protection and the past shall be forgotten and forgiven?' Not one that I heard of. "The small churches scattered about on the East Side are being absorbed by these big churches. The members of tho smaller churches attend the big churches. When the woman who had sinned was brought before Christ by the Sheriff, after he had heard the circumstances of the case, he said:1 'He that is without sin cast the first 'stone' and nobody threw anything. They took a 'hike. The church falls In its duty toward the fallen. Why not de vote some of the $150,000 used In these churches to help some of those unfor tunate girls who were arrested at the Paris House? How much real good might be done "If that sum were used In this way. "And so they are going to bring Dr. Chapman and Hollla and some more tramp preachers here to convert the poor street-car and railroad men. I recently heard an evangelist preach, and I must say that from all points of view, literary and otherwise, what he said was rub blah, pure rubbish; but it was what was wanted. "S believe that a church should bo made a sacred place, and not a placo where cheap vaudeville performances arc held with which to raise money to pay expenses. I would have tho people re spect the church as the sanctuary of the Lord." Habitual constipation cured and the bowels strenrtnened by the regular use of Carter's Little Liver Pills in small doses.

The securities announced by a Boston law firm to have been lost by a client are the property of Herman Stanley- Cheney, a capitalist of this town. This was determined today when Mr. Cheney made a statement to the Associated Press, which he said was all that he wished to, or would, say about the matter. He said that the paper has a face value of $285,000 instead of $258,000, as first announced. Of these papers only $10,000 were negotia ble. Mr. Cheney hopes to secure possession of tho securities without legal action be ing taken. He explained that no person having access to his home was under sus picion, and confirmed the details of the disappearance of the property as given out by the law firm. No clew to the missing papers has yet been found. Russians Building Railroads. TOKIO, Feb. 3). It Is reported that the Russians have constructed two light rail ways, one connecting Fushun and Yen ting, and the other extending from Fu shun to the .Upper Shakhe. This rallway buildlng, in connection with other activi ties and the heavy concentration of troops, indicates a plan to turn General Kurokl's right General Kuropatkin is continuing his operations of increasing his entire de fenses, and gives Indication of a resolute intention of retaining his position" when the expected great battle occurs. The Tokio newspapers print the state ment that 126 Japanese who were cap tured at Heikoutai were roped together and paraded through the streets of Muk den. This information comes from Chi nese sources, and It is Impossible to ob tain verification here. It Is said that there will be an official inquiry into the matter, and that tho Japanese government will make a protest if the report Is .found to be true.
