The Life Boat Supply Department in Chicago

THERE has been established in Chicago, by trustworthy brethren, “The Life Boat Supply Department.” Leading merchants and manufacturers in Chicago have taken such an interest in our mission work in that city that they give to the Life Boat Supply Department, rates that will enable the department to furnish customers with any of the things of everyday needs of individual, house, or farm, for less than these customers would have to pay at home, and yet there be a little margin for the mission work. So if you wish to help both yourself and the mission work in Chicago, send a two-cent stamp for the Catalogue, and buy your goods of the Life Boat Supply Department, 1926 Wabash Ave., Chicago, Ill.

Death of Professor Theodore Edwin Andrews in Alaska

By G. W. Reaser

ANDREWS.—Died at Topkuk, near Nome City, Alaska, about Sept. 12, 1900, Prof. Theodore Edwin Andrews. The circumstances of Brother Andrews’ decease were peculiarly sad. Until a few months ago he was employed as the teacher of English in Walla Walla College. Last May, in company with Brother W. R. Sutherland, he went to Cape Nome, with the hope of securing money to liquidate some personal debts which were pressing him, and, as he expressed it, were a serious hindrance to him in his work in the school. On the date already mentioned, while engaged in mining on a sand bar in a river bed, twelve miles from the ocean, the river suddenly became swollen from heavy rains in the mountains; and the raging torrent, rushing seaward, was met by the destructive tidal wave that visited the coast of Alaska on that day. The two brethren were surrounded by the flood, causing the drowning of Brother Andrews, who could not swim; while Brother Sutherland, after a severe struggle with the angry waters, reached shore.

After the waters had subsided, search was made, but in vain, for the remains of Brother Andrews. It would have been a great satisfaction to Brother Andrews’ wife as well as to his father, mother, and sister, could the remains have been laid to rest in College Place (Wash.) Cemetery, beside his sister Carrie, who died about two years ago, of tuberculosis. Professor Andrews was born at Arcadia, Mich., April 5, 1870, and was, therefore, in the thirty-first year of his life when death overtook him. In the death of Professor Andrews the cause has lost a successful laborer, and Walla Walla College a teacher of marked ability. Memorial services were conducted by the writer, assisted by Elders Holbrook and Starbuck, in the chapel at College Place, Sabbath, September 29, in the presence of a large and sympathetic congregation.

KEENE (TEX.) ACADEMY.

By C. C. Lewis

IN answer to inquiries concerning reports that the interests of Keene Academy had been injured by the storm, I take pleasure in saying that neither the property nor the interests of the academy were injured in the least. I have heard of no damage in northern Texas. The cotton crop in the central and northern parts of the State is excellent, and the prices are double those of last year. Keene Academy expects to begin her best year, October 24.

Russia's Hoarded Gold as a War Fund

A WRITER in the Independent, October 11, says that Russia has nearly four billion dollars of gold hoarded as a war fund; and remarks: “The modern ammunition is gold. Russia has the largest stock of it in the world, and adds to it, year by year, biding her time.”

Russia's Hold on China's Forts and Strategic Points

The New York Herald’s correspondent in China says that Russia “is holding all the forts and strategical points from Taku to Peking;” and that “no one here believes that Russia will ever move out except under overwhelming pressure from other Powers.” And it is evident that there is not sufficient unity among the other Powers, ever to put overwhelming pressure upon any Power.
