(By Associated Press.)
Mobile, Ala., March 27.—Colonel

died today at the age of seventy-six
years. He was inspector general of
General Ferguson's brigade during the

THE GREAT PAGEANT
OF MISSIONS TODAY
(By Union Associated Press.)
New York, March 27.—A pictur
esq,le and draniatlc presentation of
the progress of mission work in for
eign lands was given at the l> a seant
<>f miss * ons * n t be Metropolitan Opera
House this afternoon. Nearly
thousand young women and men took
part in the spectacular production,
which was the opening feature of the
a
Woman's National Foreign Mission
ary Jubilee.
Boxes and seats where leaders of
wealth and fasnion are wont to sit
were occupied today by earnest Chris
tian workers from all over the land,
and the stage where high-salaried
singers strut was given over to tab
leaux vivant illustrating the progress
of women from the darkness of
heatherndom to the light of civiliza
tion. ,
At the rise of the curtain, 300 wo
.men dressed in costumes of various
countries entered in silent procession.
A score of angels then appeared,
while an unseen chorus sang, "Hark,
Hark, My Soul." The women listened
and followed the angels.
The next scene showed a group of
women in a New England town dis
cussing the condition of life In
heathen lands and the possibility of
sending missionaries. Next
group of women in a village of Inilia.
listening to a missionary. A Chinese
hospital, with doctors, nurses and
medical missionaries caring for the/
sick, was next depicted. After that
a scene showed a Japanese kindergar
ten with children in kimonas going
through motion songs. A Turkish
harem and industrial schools in dark
est Africa were among the other in
teresting tableaux.
The national jubilee of women's
missions opened here today follows a
series of local meetings held in cities
throughout the country since last
summer, beginning on the Pacillc
coast and gradually working east
ward. The activity of women in for
eign mission Heids took concrete
form fifty years ago. The jubilee here
will continue three days and it is ex
pected that the sum already raised
will be increased to more than a mill

could pass through if it became neces
sary for them to do so. The expendi
ture of money will not be over by
that tfme, but the outlay of large
sums will be. In fact, only one more
big appropriation will be necessary,
and that will probably bring the
amount to $350,000.00«, about $25,000,
000 less than
made in October, 1908.
This prospect of completing the
work at so much less than the esti
mated cost is due to the fact that the j
concrete in the locks is costing less j
than was expected (in the ease of the
Pacific locks nearly o 0 per cent less,
and in the case of those at Gatun
well within the estimate), and that
excavation is constantly
cheaper. A big saving has been ef
fected also in the rapidity with which
tbe work is advancing. A very ordi
nary mathematician can figure it out
that it is cheaper to finish a certain
piece of work in two years than in
four, especially where the overhead
charges are as high as they are in
the canal zone, practically 20 per cent
The amount appropriated for the
coming fiscal year is $45,560,000, the
largest appropriation yet made for
one year. Of this amount $21,000,000
is for wages and $20,000,000 for
teriais.

Canal Will be Fortified.
The question of fortification was
probably settled for all time, when
the congress appropriated $3.000,000
in the last days of the last session to j
begin work. Of this amount $2,000,- j
000 may be spent on the isthmus in \
preparing for the guns at either en
trance of the canal, and the balance j
in the United States in the manufac
ture of the guns. An outline of the
plans has already been published from
Washington. They provide for fortifi
cations ,and coast artillery stations at
either entrance to the
works for the protection of the locks
and dams, and an army post on the
east bank of Culebra cut, near Em
pire, a point easy of access from both
canal, land
ends of the canal, both by water and
rail, and at the terminus of the rail- :
road which the Republic of Panama I
is to build
'
from the northwestern
part of the country to the canal. The
project provides for an expenditure of ;
$12,000,000, which la $7,000,000 less
than was requested originally, the de
ductlon being due to the elimination
of one batlery at the Pacific entrance. |
and to more economical methods of
installation of the guns and of erect
ing quarters.
The determination to fortify the
canal implies that the canal zone will
become a military reservation. This
is not inevitable, but it is reasonable. I
It Is also reasonable to expect that
the work of carrying on the govern
ment will be done by army officers. !
This is interesting to several hundred
American men now in the zone, who
would like to make the isthmus their i
permanent home, because it is an in
dication that there will be no chance
here for civillians who wish to
positions above those of clerk
occupy j
or ar
tisan. The moral Is to quit playing
bridge and put your money In the
bank, so that when the force lay-off
comes next year you will bave enough
surplus to last until a job in the states
comes your way.

Another Good Ball Player Has Been
JOHN BENEDICT
COMING TO CITY
Secured by the Hattiesburg
Club.
The Mobile Register speaks of John
Benedict, who has been bought by the
Hattiesburg Baseball Association from
Mobile, as follows:
"Jlohn Benedict, leading backstop
of the City League last season, and
signed by Manager Holmes at the be
ginning of this season, has been sold
to the Hattiesburg club of Cotton I
States league, and leaves in a few
days to join them.
"Benedict has learned much of the
way professional baseball is played
since the training season opened, and
he will, no doubt, make the Cotton
States a valuable catcher. Manager
Holmes, and, in fact, all the players
have taken an interest in the young
ster, who is anxious to break into
professional company, and, quick to
learn, he has benefited much by his
experience.
"Manager Holmes believes Bene
dict will some day make a good bail
player, and goes to the Cotton States !
League with a string attached, so in j
case he develops, as everyone thinks j
he will, Mobile will not lose his ser- j
vices.
"That he will make good with fho !
Hattiesburg club, all the local ball !
players are confident, as he cannot
only catch, but plays the outfield well,
and can hit, something that will win
a job on almost any old ball club.
Local fans have watched the young
ster with interest, and will pull for
him to rise rapidly in the baseball I
world.''
