Governor Chamberlain In making the

To leave every round of hops on the

(Special Dispatch to Tke Journal.)
' Spokane, Wash.. Aug. t. For a pil
jrlmage through the unexplored wilds
of heathen Thibet and the more friendly
provinces of the Flowery Kingdom and
the Sunrise Land a delegation of "Tan
gled Tonguers," certain that their bab
bling gibberish has a home soma place
in the ever-mystical east, will leave
Spokane early next month for the Orient
in the calm assurance that they will
find a people that both apeak and un
derstand the Jargon that flows from
their loosened tongues and which they
do not claim to understand although
they speak It. ' ' '
They are not of the Pentecostal sect,
which lias gained notoriety In the "Wil

and the absurdity of the gift of tongues
disregarded, there are elements of the

' vast pathos of it.
About IT members of the Apostolic

The spirit of- giving is wonderful
among these people. When a call is
made for funds to defray expenses the

These securities consist of $160,009 that

gency In the bank's working capital, and
$160,000 that was carried by Cashier
w. C. Morris on-his trip to New York
to complete arrangements for the pro

The Fourth National bank after de
clining to make the loan, wired on Au

Morrlsalso wired on August 21
that he had shipped by the same carrier
the securities he carried to New York,

why there are so many more gents than

"I don't think It will be so when
they find out what It really la," she
said. "In San Francisco I had one with

pleny of ladles, but here they are so
backward about coming in.
For this reason Mrs. Gray has offered

club with men only as members?
it ! much nicer and more proper
way of doing things than the way most

then he can ask to take her to dinner

Of course alter you nave oeen in

know people and can t 11 what kind of
people they like. So I get them to tell
me Just about what they want and
than t minniv the rest with my imagin

introductions.
"I take down your name or any name
you want to give because sometimes on
aecount of meeting people they don't
like they don't want to give their real
names at first. I used to have certain
erentnn for social gatherings down
south, when everyone came and was in
troduced and we had dancing and cards.
But some do not care to come that way
for they want to meet only one gentle
man at a time. I have only respectable

Chicago, Aug. 26. Four children of
Jacob Helnrichsen, a market gardener,
have disappeared, and it is believed
that they have been kidnaped by gyp
sies who recently camped In the neigh
borhood In which the babes lived.
The children who have disappeared
are Paul A., aged 9; Lllla, aged 7;
Charles, aged t, and Ernest, aged 4.
They were last seen yesterday morn
ing, and a searching party which has
been out .looking lor them for more
than 24 hours has failed to find a trace
of the little ones. The police have been
notified and a general alarm turned In.
The gypsies who are suspected of hav
ing stolen the children were camped in
the neighborhood for several weeks.
They made a living by selling baskets
and statuettes, while some of the men
had performing monkeys and hand-organs.
Their camp was a great attrac
tion to the children of the neighborhood,
who flocked around the wagons every
afternoon watching the strollers at work
ana play.
At the time It was discovered that the
children had disappeared it was
also learned that the camp of the gyp
sies had vanished. No trace of them
could be found, and it Is feared that
they have put many miles between
them and their pursuers. Detectives are
at work on the case, but as yet have
been unable to locate the new camp of
