SAN FRANCISCO IN RUINS! Terrific Earthquake, Followed by Appalling Conflagration Causes Cataclysm of Death and Desolation in Western City. Frightful Work Done in Three Minutes. VOL. XXI. SAN FRANCIS Terrific Earthquake, ling Conflagration Death and Desolat THOUSANDS PERISH HUNDREDS OF GIANT STRUCTURES NOW MASS OF RUINS. Many Hundreds of People Made Homeless in Catastrophe that will Go Down in American History as the Greatest on Record. As the result of a frightful earthquake shock and the greatest conflagration known in American history, half of San Francisco is in ruins. Two thousand lives are believed to have been lost, one hundred thousand people are homeless, and property loss of over $100,000,000 has been done as the result of the cataclysm. At least a thousand people are injured. It was 5:15 Wednesday morning when a terrific earthquake shook the whole city and surrounding country. One shock apparently lasted two minutes, and there was almost immediate collapse of filmsy structures all over the city. Twenty-one bodies were early taken to the morgue, which could not accommodate any more. Mayor Schmitz established headquarters at the hall of justice and appointed a relief committee of 50 prominent citizens. The military patrolled the streets, guarding the banks and other establishments. They received orders to shoot any one on sight detected in theft. The water supply was cut off, and when fires broke out in various sections there was nothing to do but to let the buildings burn. Telegraph and telephone communication was shut off. The Western Union was put completely out of business, and the Postal company was then the only one that managed to get a wire out of the city. About 10 o'clock the Postal was forced to suspend. Electric power was stopped and the street cars did not run. Railroads and ferryboats also ceased operations. The various fires raged all day, the fire department being powerless to do anything except to dynamite the buildings threatened. All day long explosions shook the city and added to the terror of the inhabitants. Following the first shock there was another within five minutes, but not nearly so severe. Three hours later there was another slight quake. Reports at police headquarters indicate that fully two thousand lives have been lost. The entire district surrounded by Vallejor-Howard, East and Sansome streets, embracing practically the entire wholesale portion of the city, was swept clear by the fire. Also the district bounded by Market, Eighth and Folsom streets has been devastated. In the latter districts are included most of the city's finest and most substantial buildings. The area covered by the flames up to 8 o'clock p. m., was about eight square miles, or several hundred city blocks. Very little, if any, water was available, and Frightful Work Don Three minutes after the awful earthquake, the great city was a mass of torn streets, which were soon filled with automobiles, and hacks. Immediately a force of volunteer rescuers appeared and the work of gathering the dead and injured began without delay. The shock of the trembling earth was quickly followed by a multitude of the blowing up of buildings by dynamite was the only means of checking the flames. Most of the buildings untouched by the flames have been greatly damaged by the earthquake shocks. All efforts to prevent the fire from reaching the Palace and Grand hotels were unsuccessful and both were completely destroyed together with all their contents. All of San Francisco's best play houses, including the Majestic, Columbia, Orpheum and Grand Opera house, are a mass of ruins. The earthquake demolished them for all practical purposes and the fire completed the work of demolition. The handsome Rialto and Casserty buildings were burred to the ground as was everything in that district. The fire swept down the streets so rapidly that it was practically impossible to save anything in its way. It reached the Grand Opera house on Mission street and in a moment had burned through the roof. The Call newspaper editorial and mechanical departments were totally destroyed in a few minutes and the flames leaped across Stevenson street toward the fine fifteen story Claus Spreckles building, which with its lofty dome is the most notable edifice in San Francisco. Two small wooden buildings furnished the fuel to ignite the splendid pile. At midnight the fire was still roaring. Fleeing inhabitants could see from miles around the pillars of fire towering skyward. The crash of falling ruins and the muffled reports of the exploding dynamite reached the ear at regular intervals. A disaster that staggers comprehension and in point of terror of damage is unprecedented on the coast, had not yet reached its culmination. A dispatch from Oakland, a suburb of the doomed city, thus described the awful scene: "Forgetting for a moment the terrible suffering, physical and financial, that trails in the wake of the fire, the scene is one of unspeakable grandeur. Looking over the city from a high hill in the, western addition, the flames can be seen rolling skyward for miles and miles, while in the midst of the spouting and belching tongues of red fire can be seen the black skeletons and falling towers of the doomed buildings. At regular intervals the booming of the dynamite tells of the work of the brave army of men that are attempting to save the city from complete annihilation. Many of them met death at their tasks. Through all streets automobiles and express wagons are hurrying, carrying the dead and injured to the morgue in the hall of justice, fifty bodies lie on the slabs. The flames rapidly approached this building and the work of removing the bodies to Jackson square, opposite, began. While the soldiers and police were carrying the dead to what appeared safe places a shower of bricks from a building dynamite to check the progress of the sweeping flames injured many of the workmen and sent soldier after soldier hurrying to the hospitals. The work of removing the bodies stopped and the remainder of the dead were left to possible cremation in the morgue." Reports from districts outside of San Francisco indicate wide-spread damage. San Jose, 50 miles south, lost many buildings, and from fifteen to twenty people were killed. The annex of the Vendome hotel collapsed and fires broke out. Stanford university and Palo Alto suffered. At Stanford many of the handsome buildings were demolished. fires; which swept the water front and the southern portion of the city, destroying within an hour over twenty million-dollars' worth of tenement and business property. The catastrophe came like a thunderbolt out of a clear sky. Tuesday was an ideal western day, made up of bracing breezes and a soothing sunset. The night came on like a quiet sleep. SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. APRIL 21, 1906. SEVEN MEN MANGLED By-Explosion of a Gun on Battleship Kearsarge Engaged Int. Target Practice Off Cuban Coast. A Washington special says: Two years to a day later than the disaster on the Missouri and as every sailor immediately recalled, on a Friday-and the 13th of the month, seven men, including two officers, met death in the forward turret of the battleship Kearsarge by one of those accidents which acquire additional terror for sailors because of their obscure origin and almost impossibility of prevention. The Atlantic fleet, the strongest squadron America has ever owned, had been for weeks engaged in drill in the Carrlbean sea, culminating in the quarterly target practice. This practice was just about concluding with most satisfactory results up to Friday, and it was confidently expected at the department that all records would be broken in the matter of rapidity of fire and efficiency of the gunners. But Saturday a cablegram from Rear Admiral Evans told of a dreadful accident on the Kearsarge. The news came from Caimanera, a little cable station at the mouth of Guantanamo bay, indicating that the Kearsarge had arrived there. A slight telegraphic error, requiring extra time to decipher the message, added to the anxiety of the officials. When the message was finally reduced to form it read as follows: "Secretary Navy, Washington: On April 13, about 3:15 p. m., shortly after completion target practice of the Kearsarge forward turret, while the powder was going below, three sections of a 13-inch charge of powder were ignited: Charge of powder in other lift just below and one section inside 13-inch remained intact. Cause not yet determined, nor accountability. Matter is being investigated." The following is the list of killed: Lieut. Joseph W. Graeme, gun umpire; Lieut. Hudgins, turret officer; Peter Nonsberg, gunner's mate; Theodore Neagely, seaman; Anton O. Thorson, ordinary seaman; Julius A. Koester, turret captain, first class; Ellis H. Athey, seaman. The following was dangerously injured by accident, recovery doubtful: W. King, ordinary seaman; will bury dead at Guantanamo. Vessel was uninjured. A message of condolence was telegraphed to the commander-in-chief of the fleet, Admiral Evans, by Acting Secretary Newberry. FOUR DIE IN CHURCH PANIC. Small Boy Yelled "Fire!" and Fatal Stampede Ensued. During a panic which followed a false cry of fire Saturday night while 400 persons were participating in the Easter eve services in St. Ludmillas Roman Catholic church, at Chicago, three children and one woman were killed and a score of others injured, several seriously. The majority of the worshippers were women and children and in a few minutes all were in a tangled mass fighting to escape from the supposed danger. Many jumped through the windows. When the church was cleared, three children were lying dead in the aisle and one woman was so badly hurt that she died while being removed to the hospital. A boy's prank was responsible for the accident. While services were in progress, one of a crowd of boys, who had been loitering outside the church, suddenly pushed open the front door, and shouted "Fire!" Seeing the serious effect his words had on the congregation, the boy ran away, and the police have been unable to find him. LUDLOW TAKES TUMBLE. Daring Aeronaut Falls With His Flying Machine and May Die. Big Machine and May Die. Crashing for more than 211 feet through the air with the huge wings of the aeroplane folded over and pinning him in his position, Israel Ludlow, the aeronaut, at Jacksonville, Fla., so badly injured his spine that his life is despaired of. USED WOMEN FOR SHIELDS. Negroes Take Guns from Officers and Begin Fusilade. At Mt. Alry, N. C., as a result of Walter Penn, a negro, resisting, and other negroes overpowering and disarming Deputy Sheriff U. G. Belton and Officer John Samuels, George Long, a negro, is dead and the local military company was ordered to the scene of what was almost a riot. The negroes began firing and the officers only saved themselves by holding negro women between them and the attacking party. The dead negro was shot by one of his own race in the attempt to shoot the officers. BANKS ARE CALLED Gifts to Campaign Funds Subject of Airing. TILLMAN ASKS PROBING Pitchfork Wieldar Makes a Characteristic Speech in the Senate on Subject of Campaign "Slush Fund" Contributions. Preceding the taking up of the railroad rate bill in the senate, Tuesday, Mr. Tillman called up his resolution directing the senate committee on finance to enter upon an investigation of the question of campaign contributions by the national banks, and after he had spoken at length the resolution was referred to the finance committee. In his speech Mr. Tillman read a letter from a New York banker suggesting that the auditor of the republican national committee should be called to give testimony concerning the contributions to the republican fund of the last campaign. Mr. Tillman said that he would not confine the inquiry to the republican committee, but would extend it to the democratic committee. He again referred to the affairs of the Walsh bank of Chicago, and in that connection was engaged in a sharp controversy by Mr. Hopkins, who declared the Walsh bank not to be insolvent. He also said, in reply to a question from Mr. Tillman, that Mr. Walsh had not been indicted. Mr. Foster spoke for almost three hours on the rate bill, contending for the validity of the proposed legislation, urging its necessity in order to check the growing powers of the railroads, and announcing his support of a broad court review with a prohibition against temporary injunctions in rate cases by the inferior federal courts. When he concluded he was warmly congratulated by many of his colleagues. To clear the legislative decks for pending money bills, for the support of the government, the house worked uninterruptedly from 11:30 to 5 o'clock. In that time eleven general bills were passed under suspension of the rules, all sections of the country being interested in the legislation enacted. Next to the national quarantine bill, which was opposed by a number of southern democrats on account of the fear that the police powers of the states were invaded, the bill to regulate appeals in criminal cases was probably of largest interests, the attorney general deeming the legislation of vital importance on account of the decision in the "beef trust" cases, the present law not permitting the government, when a demurrier to an indictment is sustained, to have the same reviewed, on writ of error, by either the supreme court of the United States or by the circuit court of appeals. In addition to the bills referred to the house passed a large number of private pension bills. AFTER GUANO COMBINE. Summons Issued to a Florida Company by Attorney General Moody. A summons has been issued to the officers of the Goulding Fertilizer company of Pensacola, Fla., to answer before the grand jury in Nashville, Tenn., on the 28th, with all contracts, books and papers bearing upon their business and connection with other concerns. It is understood that an investigation of all the companies doing business in North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Tennessee, Virginia and other southern states is about to be undertaken by the government because of an alleged merger or combine to control prices of the product of the different producing companies. It is stated upon good authority that Attorney General Moody is directing the matter personally. RUSSIANS ARE AWAKENING. Their Blind Devotion to Church Shows Some Slackening. A St. Petersburg dispatch says: The Easter festival, the anniversary of the Jewish massacres at Kishinef and other places in Russia, happily was not stained this year so far as reported by anti-Jewish excesses. Some slackening in the old religious fervor was noticeable, especially in St. Petersburg. This is attributable to the revolutionary propaganda, which, in striking at the roots of the state, topched also blind devotion to the church. MOB VICTIMS INNOCENT. Woman Declares Negroes Hanged and Burned Were Not Her Assailants. Mob Members Being Arrested. Four men were put under arrest at Springfield, Mo., Monday, charged with being leaders in the mob that Lroke into the county jail Saturday night and lynched three negroes. Two of the alleged mob leaders are in jail and two have been released on bond. One of the men arrested told Sheriff Horner that a collection would be taken to pay for the damage done by the mob to the sheriff's property. The offer was refused. Judge Lincoln of the criminal court Has ordered a special grand jury convened to make a thorough investigation of the lynching and the other acts of the mob and to indict all the leaders that may be apprehended. The Letter class of citizens are now strong in their demand that the rioters be punished to the full extent of the law and every effort will be made to secure convictions. After the meeting of the criminal court, Roscoe Patterson, prosecuting attorney, said: "I shall file information and issue warrants for the arrest of every man I can learn was concerned in the lynchings or the assault upon the jail. These arrests will be made as quickly as possible, without waiting for the grand jury to act." Warrants for twenty-five persons charging them with being leaders in the mob were issued. Mabel Edmondson, the white girl, who was assaulted, declared Monday that Duncan and Copeland, two of the negroes lynched, were not her assailants. Notwithstanding the presence of armed troops the fact that a grand jury has been called to indict the leaders of Saturday night's mob; that the county prosecutor has promised to issue warrants immediately, and the best citizens have decried the triple lynching, the streets were full of people who approve the mob's work and who curse all negroes and advise that they be run out of town. Danger of mob violence is not past. Hundreds of men openly curse and jeer the soldiers. Hundreds of men boldly utter the threat that if arrests are made the people will arise and rescue the men, drive the militia as well as the negroes from the city. Everywhere the threat is heard: "This town is too small for negroes and whites to live. One or the other must go." An incident showing the trend of the feeling took place near the courthouse where hundreds of people were gathered, walking aimlessly about. A negro leaning against the court house, with the troops nearby, made the remark in a swagger manner: "Give the colored men the guns and we'll show you." White men threatened to close in on the negro, but officers hustled him away to jail. In another minute apparently he would have been trampled to death. Conservative citizens, knowing how deep seated is the feeling toward the negroes, fear that some trivial incident may at any time start a bloody riot. GEORGIA LAW IS UPHELD. Statute Anent Running Freight Trains on Sunday Passgs Muster. By dismissing for want of jurisdiction, the case of J. N. Scale against the state of Georgia, the United States supreme court leaves in force the decision of the Georgia supreme court upholding the validity of the state law which prohibits the running of freight trains on Sunday. In 1903, the superintendent of the Southern railway was indicted, tried and convicted in Habersham county upon the charge of violating the law in question. He appealed the case to the state supreme court, which sustained the lower court, whereupon Seale sued out a writ of error to the United States supreme court on the ground that the law is repugnant to the federal constitution. LOST OUT ON DOWIE. Mississippi Man Gave Up Profitable Job to Follow 'Lige. Mississippians generally are very much interested in the deposal of "Prophet" Dowle, and the controversy raging at Zion City, on account of the fact that Dowle's right hand man in his Mexican work is John A. Lewis, formerly one of the leading business men of the, state, for several years vice president of the Mississippi Cotton Oil company, and who resigned a position of $12,000 per year with that corporation to become one of Dowle's deacons in Mexico. NO.29. DOOM OF RAWLINGS Sounded in Decision of United States Supreme Court JURY QUESTION SETTLED Instigator of Murder of Carter Children Must Die on Gallows Unless the Governor Intervenes In The last hope of J. G. Rawlings, now awaiting execution in the Valdosta, Ga., jail, for instigating the brutal murder of the Carter children in Lowndes county, has been swept away by the decision rendered Monday by the United States court, in which it was held that the allegation that Rawlings and his sons, Milton, Jesse and Leonard, had been discriminated against in the selection of the jury, in that all professional men were excluded, was no deprivation of their constitutional rights, and the decisions of the state courts are upheld. It will probably be a month before the mandate of the United States supreme court is received by the supreme court of Georgia, which will hold it for a minimum period of thirty days before transmitting it to the superior court of Lowndes county. When received there, the judge of the court will fix the date of the execution of Rawlings. With the details of this shocking crime—of how Milton, Jesse and Leonard Rawlings went at night to the Carter home, made a noise to attract the inmates of the house into the yard, and shot down the young son and daughter of Carter when they came into the yard—the public is familiar. J. G. Rawlings; his sons, Milton, Jesse and Leonard, together with Alf Owens, the negro whom they had hired to commit the murder, and who accompanied them to the Carter home, were put on trial in the superior court of Lowndes county last July, convicted and all sentenced to death, with the exception of Leonard Rawlings and the negro, Alf Owens, who were sentenced to life imprisonment in the penitentiary. Their cases were appealed to the Georgia state supreme court, which affirmed the verdicts and sentences of the superior court. The cases were next carried to the United tSates supreme court on the ground that discrimination had been made against them in the selection of the trial juries. This was the first time this question had been raised in the state, and it involved the integrity of the state jury system, but the decision rendered by Justice Holmes is a signal victory for Attorney General Hurt, who argued the case for the state before the supreme court. Upon the recommendation of the state board of pardons, the death sentences of Milton and Jesse Rawlings were commuted to life imprisonment in the penitentiary. SEVEN MILLIONS APPROPRIATED By the Mississippi Legislature and the End Is Not Yet The Mississippi legislative session now drawing to a close will go down in history as having set the high water mark on appropriations. It is entitled to position on the calendar as a "seven million dollar" event, the first of the kind in the commonwealth. Several bills are yet to come, which will swell the sum total to about $7,250,000. RIOT IN MINING DISTRICT. Three Men Killed,Two Fatally Wounded in Trouble Among Strikers. Three men have been shot to death, a boy fatally wounded and a mining engineer, Eugene Delaney, taken to the hospital in a serious condition as a result of a riot at Winder, Pa., among the striking coal miners Monday night. Sheriff Begley has been summoned and an appeal has been made to Governor Pennypacker for more troops. D. A. R. IN CONVENTION. Fifteenth Continental Congress in Annual Session at Washington. Final Session at Washington. The fifteenth continental congress of the National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution assembled in Washington, D. C., Monday. For the second time the proceedings were conducted in Continental hall, a building erected by the Daughters. An unusually large representation of delegates was in attendance when the president general, Mrs. Donald MacLean of New York called the congress to order. The Guaranty Aid and Relief Society Treasury of State of Georgia. long in total Ten Thousand Dollars, and which are held by the State of Georgia, by authority and under the provisions of an Act of the General Assembly, approved October 22d, 1887, and amended December 20th, 1897. Dawson citizens voted the past week in favor of an issue of $35,000 5 per cent bonds for a sewerage system. A total of 289 votes was cast, only 41 being against the bonds. Telephones for Farmers. A number of private telephone lines are being built in Harris county for farmers, by the Hamilton Telephone company. A line has already been built down the Hamilton road from the Harris county capital to within a few miles of Columbus. Four Years for Parks. J. S. Parks, charged with the murder of W. H. Brooks, near Molena, January 8, last, was found guilty of voluntary manslaughter in Zebulon court, and sentenced to four years in the penitentiary. The jury was out about twenty hours. A motion for new trial was made and the defendant allowed to give bond in the sum of $4,000, which he promptly did. Bond Issue for Good Roads Bond Issue for Good Roads. The grand jury of Carroll county, which has adjourned, returned the following in the presentments: We recommend that a $250,000 bond issue be made by Carroll county for the purpose of building and improving the public highways. An election will be held some time during the year for this purpose, and public opinion is in favor of this bond issue. Chancellor Election Postponed. The board of trustees of the University, at its meeting in Athens the past week, postponed the election of chancellor until the regular meeting in June. Professor A. T. Akerman of Massachusetts was elected to the chair of forestry, to fill the George Foster Peabody chair of forestry. He is an alumnus of the university. After transacting routine business the board adjourned. Fourteen of the 21 members were present. * * * Great Power Plant Proposed. The Shoals Milling company at Washington have petitioned the Wilkes county superior court for the privilege of changing the name of the corporation to that of Anthony Shoals Power company, and also for the privilege of increasing the capital stock from $100,000 to $5,000,000. This company owns that wonderful water power at Anthony Shoals, which SOL. C. JOHNSON, Supt. of Agencies. is recognized as one of the best water powers in the state. Steamship Company Organized. The directors of the Brunswick Steamship company met a few days ago for the purpose of organizing the company. The following officers were elected: President, Harry M. Atkinson; vice president, P. S. Arkwright; vice president and general manager, C. L. Dimon; secretary and treasurer, R. E. Cullmane. The Brunswick line is having built at the plant of the Fore River Shipbuilding company two large steamers which will be completed as soon as possible. The company also has orders in for four more, which are to be turned out at intervals of six months each. Call for Bank Statements. Captain R. E. Park, the state treasurer, has sent out circulars to the 357 state banks of Georgia requiring them to furnish him, within the next ten days, with reports of their condition on April 6, 1906. By a coincidence, the date fixed upon by Treasurer Park is the same as that chosen by the comptroller of the treasury to call for statements from the national banks; and when the returns are in it will be possible to make a composite statement showing the standing of all state and national banks in Georgia. *** Another New Road Chartered. The secretary of state has granted a charter to the Bostwick Railway company of Bostwick, Morgan county. It will be a very short line, only six miles, and will tap the Central railroad at Appalachee. It will run through one of the richest sections of the state, and will greatly enhance the value of property along its line, and will be a big impetus to the thriving village of Bostwick. The capital stock of the charter is $20,000. and enough of this has been paid in to begin work at once. Seaboard Headquarters "Immovable." A committee of the Savannah chamber of commerce that was appointed to present the advantages of the city to the officials of the Seaboard Air Line and seek to have the general offices of the company located in Savannah, received a message stating that the general offices of the company, which are at Portsmouth, Va., will not be moved. This information will still ambition that other cities than Savannah had cherished. Atlanta has been most prominently mentioned as the city to which the offices would be removed from Portsmouth. Savannah had begun an organized effort to secure the offices. Ready for Monument Unvelling. Preparations have been completed P. EDWARD PERRY, Vice President. for the ceremonies incident to the unveiling of the confederate monument at Covington on April 26, which will be one of the notable events in the history of the town and Newton county. The effort to raise a fund of $2,500 for the purpose of erecting a monument on the public square in Covington to the memory of the confederate dead of Newton county was begun early last year by Jefferson Lamar Camp of Confederate Veterans. This patriotic movement was enthusiastically received and heartily encouraged by the Daughters of the Confederacy, the veterans and citizens generally of the county. Gas Franchise an Issue. To ascertain whether or not the Atlanta Gaslight company is operating in the city with a charter and legal franchises the first step was taken Monday, when a resolution was offered in council for the appointment of a committee to investigate the status of the relations between the gas company and the city. The resolution was based on the opinion of the city attorney, who has stated that he does not believe the gas company has such a charter and such franchises as warrant it to sell and manufacture gas over the entire city for lighting, heating and power purposes. GETS A SHOVEL OFF HIS MIND. Preacher Pays Railroad for Tool Broken in Rage Twenty-two Years Ago. A check for $2.50 conscience money sent by a preacher who has a church near Utica, N. Y., was received recently by General Manager Clarke of the Delaware, Lackawanna & Western railroad. With it was enclosed a letter of explanation. The minister wrote that twenty-two years ago he, having newly arrived in this country, got a place as section hand on the railroad. One day he was unjustly discharged by the foreman and in a fit of rage, smashed a shovel with which the company had provided him. It proved to be the turning point in his career, for he got other work, studied and eventually became a minister. For some time his conscience has been worried about the shovel and he decided to pay what he thought it was worth. Supt. Clarke sent him a receipt. Growth and Life of Oyster. The oyster is not much larger than the head of a fair-sized pin at the end of a fortnight, and at three months about equal to a spit pea. At the end of four years' growth it is fit for the market. Oysters live to the age of from twelve to fifteen years. According to one naturalist, these bivalves feed on monads—the most minute form of marine life. This company is duly chartered under the laws of the State of Georgia, and has compiled with all requirements of the State Insurance department, therefore all policy holders are protected with all the safeguards that the strict insurance laws of this State seek to protect its citizens. Its affairs are directed and managed by Negro men of the city of Savannah of leading standing, and whose character and reputation are of such as to command the respect and confidence of all the people of that community. The same men that manage this Society are the ones that organized and are conducting the affairs of the first successful Negro Savings Bank in this state, therefore we can readily see that by connecting themselves with this Insurance company their interest will be in safe hands. By comparing our rules and benefits with other first class companies it will be seen that we offer the most liberal inducements with the largest sick, accident and death benefits to our members than any other company in this business. That we pay our claims promptly can be testified to by the thousands of our satisfied members. SWINGING ROCK FIRMLY FIXED South American Natural Wonder Desi- diert Diplomat of Argentina One of the strangest of natural wonders of South America, is the swinging rock of Tandil (La piedra novediza), says the Philadelphia Record. The stone lies about half an hour's walk from the city of Tandil, province of Buenos Ayres, Argentine Republic, upon the highest summit of a little rocky ridge. When seen from the ravine it has the form of a giant pyramid, while from another view it resembles an enormous cone. It is twenty-one feet long and twenty-eight feet high, and its weight is judged to be about 12,500 hundredweight, or about 627 tons. From the distance the stone presents a peculiar aspect. It is so highly polished on the rocky slope that it seems as if we were watching a stone roll down the hill and resting for a second upon a very small base. But when we approach this swinging rock we are astonished by a new wonder. We can set the stone in motion by merely pushing it with the hand. Very often the traveller is spared even the trouble of pushing the stone, as the wind will cause it to swing. : Early in the nineteenth century the Argentine Republic was ruled by the dictator Rosa with unparalleled cruelty for about twenty-five years. To show his supreme power the tyrant ordered that the stone be encircled with ropes and many horses to be harnessed to these ropes—but the stone could not be moved one inch from its resting place. Quoted to a Purpose. The private secretary of the eminent statesman dropped a polite not to the railway magnate, suggesting that the eminent statesman would be pleased to be favored with an annual pass. But the railway magnate, having formulated a new policy and also having some wit, returned the application with a printed slip containing the texts: "Suffer not a man pass," and "So he paid the fare and went." "I guess that will hold him," chuckled the railway magnate. But the private secretary of the eminent statesman approached a railway magnate who operated a parallel line, and soon was able to drop a brief note to the first magnate. The brief note consisted of the simple text: "And he passed by on the other We." Discovered Freak Clam. While engaged in shucking clams recently Enoch Townsend of Saco, Me., found a specimen which had nine distinct and perfect heads. Fishermen pronounced the find a most unusual freak.

The Pity of It. —"But it must be dene, Willlam,’ said his wife, her head slightly ralsed and her gray eyes skarp with sup pressed excitement. * “{ should be dreadfully mortilied not to do as much for Elise as Charles -does for his children. Well, not ex actly as~much in every way, no, of course We really eculdn't expect her to have so much jewelry and as many new. frocks, But to have Elise look old-fashioned, and not have sultable things for her litt}e parties—why it is positively embarrassing?to her and humiliates me.” William Solfday avoided his wife's gaze, and methodically arranged his necktie. He was a plain man, with a kindly smile when ke was not dis- turbed by his ambitious wife and daughter. “Well, William, can't yeu tell me whether you can let me have $20 or not this week?" “I don't see how [ cin, Eliza, I've had a hard winter at the store and a a good many accounts overdue. I wish J could make as much money as Charles, but [ can't seem zo do it, any- way. He is 2 sco! talker and smart, You know, Dick, tat Pre worked hard for the last 25 years, early and Tate.” : * Se “Ok, I don't acéise you of being lazy,” remarked irs, Solidar tartly; “what I would like to see is some- thing to show for all your work, Charles doesn’t’ cet to his office till 9 and fs always threush at_ 5, and makes at least a hundred dollars a week In salary and comimissions.” “il tell you right now; Eilza, that even though Charles is my cousin, I would not be in his line of business for a thousand a week. It's no use to continue this tak any longer, Eliza, 1 hope to be able to supply you and Elise with all the neces- saries of life, and a Little more, but a8 for fitting out Elise so she can run around with the set that her cousin belongs to, I cannot even attempt It” This closed the conversation for that morning, aud while Mrs, Sollday sat in her room finishing her daugh- ter’s graduating gown, her mind dwelt bitterly on her cramped life with its petty economies. } She had really loved William Soll- day 20 years ago. Ho was a clerk then, in her father’s store, and a gen- jal, honest young fellow. But when the business was his, he did rot seem to know just how to make it pay. He Bought a good Ine of stock, and he | had to sell at a close margin to com: | pate with the cheap articles displayed | by his rivals. Then he pafd his help a fair price, and his roomy, well-ven- tilated store cut still deeperinto his profits, She suspected that some of his old customers had not paid their bills for a Jong time, in fact, when 2 man was out of work, orthere was sickness, William never would push is claims, and sometimes he lost a good deal, that way. As Eliza Soliday thought, her cheeks burned and the smouldering fire of discontent burst into a bright- er blaze. She had not minded the, serimping so much when Elise was iittle, her clothes cost such a “small amount,-and she had not begun to have her social ambitions awakened till the last year or two. * ‘The other girls in the class were to have elther a handsome piece of jew. elry Or a gold watch, as a souvenir of graduation day, and there were photo- graphs, spreads, class pins, danceS, and the usual accompantuments of thie festive time. Charles Soliday’s twin daughters had everything that any one had, and far more, Their ‘father was to pre- sent them with watches, sultably en- grave, and their mother had prom- {std them elegant gold bracelets, with dlamond studded clasps. They were to entertain the entire class at an in- formal dance, followed by # supper, at which each guest would be presert- ed witb a specially des!mned favor, maker, and nothing would be lacking to complete their stylish appearance The dotted Swiss muslin which Mrs Soliday was rapidly finishing looked coarse and cheap in her eyes, and she threw it on the bed with a completely disgusted expression on her handsome face. That day Mrs. Sollday spent a few hours with her sister, who lived out in the suburbs, Returning home in the late afternoon, she was obliged to sit in a closely-crowded car, and her eyes were startled by headlines in a special edition of an evening paper: “Charles Sollday Arrested. About te escape with his plunder. Denied wrong-doing, but finally broke down and confessed." Mrs. Soljday felt her heart stop beating for a moment, then plunge Uke a runaway horse. Charles Soli- day, whose wife and daughters she had ehvied—she could not believe her own eyes, Mrs.“Soliday was too ex- cited to remain in the car when It approached her locality, so signaling to-the conductor, she left the car and walked rapidly towards her home, Hurrying into the house she was met by Elise, who had heard the news. The girl was as excited as her mother, and they talked over the as- tonishing situation. . “Isn't it dreadful for Bertha and Bernice,” sald Elise. “They didn’t ‘come to schoo? today, and the girls ‘sald their mother had hysterics and fainting spells all day. There's fa ther coming now.” “Tell him I am upstairs and 1 want to spéak to him right away,” said Mrs. Soliday as she hastened out of the room. * William Soliday looked very sober- ly at his pretty daughter, then turned. and walked slowly to his wife's rooni, She met him at the door and the tears were running ‘down her cheek. “Ok, William, can you ever forgive me,” she began: “There, Eliza, don't take on 80," said her, husband, dropping heavily into a‘bfe\chair, and taking the trem- bling woman in his arms. _“But to think what Charles has done—and where he {s~ and where you might Have been if—" here she was unable to go on. “Don't ert so, Eliza, It will be all right in time,” continued Mr, Sollday, patting his wife's shoulder and hardly realizing what he was saying. “Oh, but William, I would rather lve plain, and not have new things and know that my hushand was an honest man. And you were stronger than I was, because I was afrald of what people would say and [ might have driven you to do something des- perate just as Charles has done,” and she began to gob withsrenewed vio- lence. oF | “Now, Eliza, Sust listen a minute,” said Wililam Soliday. ‘l had a chance to make $30 toddy, that is, I received it on an old account that I never expected to be paid, If you want it to buy some prett} things for the little girl—” “Oh, Williaus, it's more than enough,” returned his wife. “She will only need a part of it and I want you to have some for yourself. [ can't havegmy good man looking shabby she ended with a slight smile around her mouth and her husband was too wise to object. . Among the lovely young girls who were graduated there was none more bewitching than Elise Sollday in her simple gown and without any jingling irinkets, The Soliday twins were not there, and with thelr withdrawal from rhe class, the ,element of extrava- gance which threatened to be the fominant feature was ellminated. In sirlish fashfon the swing of the pen- julum was toward extreme simplicity nf dress, to the relief of those whose means were limited to a small outlay. “Our Elise was the prettiest girl in he class,” sald Mrs. Soliday to her usband that night, “How could she help it—with suck 1 mother,” he replied without a mo- nent's -hesitation—Mary Peabody sawyer {n the Amerfean Cultivator, oe Tommy's Good Fairy. Smeking was an abomination to Queen Victoria, and many a notable man at Windsor had to hang his head out of a window or stick it up the chimney to get a “blow” before bed. But she sympathized with the soldier's craving for tobacco. Writing to Mr. Childers, Sir Henry ‘Ponsonby sald: “The Standard says the men in Egypt complain that zhey can not get tobacco. The Queen hopes that something can be done for the purpose of supplying them with this almost necessary of life out there. Her majesty wished to help in sending out tobacco, but I scarcely know what the Queen could do in this matter.” Lord Wolseley was evidently fn sym- pathy with the wishes of the Queen, and personally celebrated Tel-el-Kebir by smoking nine elgars in succession, Whom It Was For. Three girl clerks were walting for the rush of business to begin this morning about 8 o'clock in 2 Denver department store. “Girls,” sald the stationery clerk, “a, man who came up here yesterday to buy some writing pa- per said the queerest thing to me.” “What was It?” asked another. “Well,” continued the first, “he wanted to see some stationery. I didn't knoly just what kind he was after— men’s or women’s styles. ‘Christmas present, I suppose,’ I ventured to say. ‘Yes; he replied stitily. ‘Do you wish It for a lady?’ I asked.” “What did he say?” asked one of the other girls. “Ho trowned,” replied the stationery clerk, “and growled ‘No, it's for my mother-in-law.’ "—Denver Post, {HE PULPIT, . A SCHOLARLY SUNDAY SERMON BY THE REV. L. Le TAYLOR. Subjects “Square Dent ta Kollgidn.”” Brooklyn, N. Y¥.—As the subject o: ‘hls sermon Sunday the Nev, Livingstou 1. Taylor, pastor of the Puritan Cou: gtegational Church, spoke on “Lhe Square Deal in Religion.” He took two texts: Proverbs xii.:23: “They that deal truly are His delight,” and Psalm xii: “The righteous Lord toveth right: cousnegs,” Mr. Taylor sald: The, kingdom of heaven is a square deat on earth. From the night vistons ot the shepherds to the day dreams of St. John it is peace and good will ou earth, among men, whieh the hosts of God are seen bestirring themselves to promote. And He who came from heaven Mved brother to all men, that they might ever after dwell as breth- ren here, But there can be no kingdom of brotherly mien ou earth with any other throne set up than that of 2 fath: erly God in heaven. The square ded has {ts verflcal Iines as well as its orl. zontal. The horizon never limited Christ's vision, He lived for the day when men would treat God right. In that day no man will have anything ‘to fear from any other man, The thinking world fs coming around more and more to Christ’s estimate of relig- fon as the power that must set things right among men. But in His day and in ours the problem of the square deal involves religion itself. It bas always been hard to get a square deal for re- ligion, It has always been hard to maintain a square deal Jn presenting the claims of religion,. It has always been hard to keep a square deal at the heart of religion. ‘These things should be borne in mind by us all as we enter upon the special religious activities and Priviléses of the Lenten season. ‘The square deal in religion iavolres | A square deal for religion, And this ju turn involres two things: first, a falr- “minded attitude toward relizious phe- nomena, institutions, doctrines and per- sons, and second, 2 ‘determination to deal fairly with our own religious na- ture, a determination to give the soul « square deal. Men deal more fairly with the fact of religion than they used to. They are settling down to the conciusion that the race. is “incorrigibly religious.” ‘They are beginning to understand that the world's history could not have been what It hes been if men had no capac- ity and need for religion. Religion must be recognized as a legitimate hu- man interest uvless we want to throw out of court the most persistent of all classes of facts. Religion must be rec- ognized as one of the great human in- terests If we are to maintain any sort of proportion in our lew of human life 28 2 whole. Religion must be recos- nized as the supreme human Interest if we would be consistent with any rea- sonabie definition of religion. If rellg- Jon is an affair of the soul in itg rela- tions with the infinite nothing short of this is reasonable or right. We should expect to see men, as we do, striving to make relizion supreme, not content with anything short of the rellzious in- terpretation of the universe and-of hu- maa life, determined to have some sort of religious system, spending and being: spent in the service of religious institu: tions. thelr churches, their missions. We should deal as fairly with these facts as ve do with the facts which convince us .hat it is natural for men to have music, that 1t is natural for iien to express themselves and to find pleasure in the varied forms of art, that {t 1s watursl for inen to coucern themselves witlt the right and wrong of things and of their own lives. . But fair dealing with the fact of re- ligion requires tuat we should recog- nize the limitations and the inevitable Smperfection of all the forms in whlch ‘the religious aspirations of men find expression. It 1s nothing to the dis- credit of religion sf our best efforts to embody it fall short of those visions of its glory with which our souls are blessed. It is no less a treasure be- cause we have it In earthen vessels Religious systems are confessedly im- perfect, Religous persons are full of faults, But they exist. They are facts.” And they are as good evidence of man’s religious nature as-they are of the imperfectionot all things human. But how about our own religious na- ture,-yours and mine? Have we been treating it fairly? In 1876 George Ro- manes, a brilliant young British sclen- tist. came to the conclusion that he had no right to a soul or a God, and that it was bis “obvious duty to stife all belief” and to “discipline bis intel- feet witht regard to this matter Into an attitude of the purest skepticism.” "I am nat ashamed to confess,” he wrote at the time, “that with this virtual ne- sition of God the universe to me has lost its soulof loveliness.” And he was oppressed by “the appalling contrast between the hallowed glory of that creed whieit- was once imine, and they lonely mysterx of existence as I now]! ind it.” A little less than twenty years Jater George Romanes became nonvineea that in seeking to dea! un- 4s heaven-born in us. Shey are not only “not of the Father,” but they are the deadly foes of all that is of the Father, Happy are the souls in which the flight into Egypt comes wut as it does In Matthew's Gospel of the In- fancy. Let us not Nesitate to, play Joseph :9 our threatencd soul. ll the dreams and angels that we need will be forthcoming if we are faithful, and we shall get back to Nazareth. Some- how Herod will be circumvented. And though it be neither selentifie doctrines nor .vil propensities which do most to inake it Lard for our souls, but just the Petty preoccupations and the daily Durdens and the round ef more or less irritatlog- duties of our common ife, we are under the same sacred obliga- tion and have the same encour: gement to secure for our souls the square deal God means tuem to have. Let us never forget that Jesus Christ is the great "champion of a square deal for every soul, and that that means ours. A’ square. deal in -presenting the claims of religion should be religiously maintained. God {s eternally against anything else. Jeremiah never said ansthing which bears more unmistak- abiy the seal.of a ‘alvin> ratification than when he called it “a wonderful and horelble thing” that bad come to pass in the land; that “the prophets Prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by thelr means; ana my people love to have it so.” But a square deal in presenting the claims of religion rules out, nc. merely wilful Calsitica- tlon and’ perversion cf the truth, it rules cut intolerance and demands a square deal for the religious convic- tions of other people. It rules out dog- matism and wemands a square deal for whatever new light way break forth, It rules out the insinuation of doubt and de ands a square deal for the feeblest and most unintelligent faith, At rules out insincerity of whatever kind. But it does not rele out loyalty to.deep convictions, nor definitentss | of teaching, nor the replacing of the | broken reed of an outworm doctrine with the strong staff of a living truth. To be absolutely loyal to the truth, and yet deal fairly with all the spiritual iu- terests affected by the manner in which the claims of religion are presented, 13, no light thing to achieve, But of one thing, those to whom we go with the eall of Christ must be left in no doubt, pnd that fs that, so far as {nus les and God gives us light upon our way, we mea to be square with them. God ‘made our ears so that they instinetive- Jy protect themselves against cant, ‘They close as quickly as the threatened ese. "The square deaf to religion Involves a square deal at the heart of religion, ‘Phot gentral doctrine should be ~ the righteousness of God, the righteous dealing of God with men, a square deal and nothing Jess for all meu, a square deal and nothing more for “the saved.” Paul never gets tired of tell- Ing us that God does not save us by doing anything wrong. He is continu- ally declaring God's righteousness in His way oftsaving men, that He {s at once “Just and the justiier of him that hath faith in Jesus.” Paul proclaims the triumph of the- square deal in Christ, In Him ‘mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have Kissed each other.” All that God. offers to us in Christ He has a right to offer. He comes before tbe bar of our conscience with His gyéat gospel of forgiveness, If it is not ratified there it can never give us peace, It Is not} the less sensitive consciences whick have borne the most unequivocal-testi- | mony to the peace which God gives in Christ Jesus. But there should be noth- ing to settle between yur conscience and youxdoctrine of salvation. We are not saved by dishonest bookkecpiis. Nothing is credited to us which does not belong to us in God's sight. Every item which justifies God in His merey toward us may not appear. Dut no scheme that coud’ not pass muster with us in our deailng with men cau repre- sent the redemptive dealings of God with sinners. The man who finds peace with God through Jesus Christ just believes that whatever safeguard- ing of righteousness was necessary when God's mercy set out to save him bas not been neglected. But while we need not fear that God. will offer us more than He-bas a right 10, we need have, on the other hand, no tear of giving too much to Him if we sive all. % ‘Were the whole realma of nature mine, ‘That were a present far too small; Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all,” Negatlve Living, =~ Living to escape trouble {s a poor Kind of existence.

People talk about special provi- dences., I believe -in providences, but not in the specialty. I do not believe that God lets the thread of my affalrs go for six days, and on the seventh ‘evening takes it up fora moment. The so-called special providences are no exception to the rale—they are common to all men at all moments. But it Js a fact that God's care {3 more evident in some instances of it than in others, to the dim and often bewildered vision of humanity. Upon such instances men selze and call them providences. It is well that they can, but it would be gloriously better if they could belleve that the whole matter fs one grand providence.—George MzeDonald. All We Have to Do. ‘The discipline which we choose for ourselves does not destroy our self-love like that which God assigns us Himself each day. All we have to do Is to give ourselres up to God day by day, with- out Jooking further. He carries us in His, arms as a loving mother carries her child.

Oa i aaa leh PTL ea RUC I EOP Og is not that there {s alow standard of honor or morality in business, but that there is practically no standard at all. Well-meaning men are often at a loss to determine whether a certain profitable policy Is honorable or dishonor- able, =e Soclety is just now washing the windows of the life insurance business, and many people ate hoping that hereafter when a man buys life’fusurance he will really get all that he pays for. On that point [ am a pessimist, and shall remain one unless the subject of life insurance gets into our schools. We lave had Investigations before, and profuse promises of reform. In a few years the abuses of life insurane8 will be forgotten, new companies will be organ- ized; and new men will get control of the old; and then new and wonderful ways of appropriating the people's money will be devised. Publicity will provide some protection, espectally if the affairs of insur- ance companies are regularly examiueq by independent certified public ac- countants, but publicity alone will not be enough, It will put a eheck on old abuses with which the public are familiar, but It will not compel steady im provement tn the management of insurance companjes, or any other corpora: tion. Nor will it create a recognized ethical standard to be observed by cor- poration presidents and directors. Nothing can do that except an enlightened publ{c consclousness, 2 quick intelligence among the people instantly recogniz- ‘ing and condemning Lad methods and unfair coatracts, ’ ‘The elements of life insurance and the mathematics of premium rates should be taught in our public schools, while in our universities, departments of insurance should be established, and placed on a par with the departments of science, language, and philosophy. Then men would be properly trained for this ggeat and important business, and gradually we should have the evolu- tion of an intelligent public opinion with regard to the good-and the bad. Un- tit such a public opinion exists, no matter how sensitive the individual con science may be, I do not see how we can have a moral standard in Insuranct or any other business. 7 os ae Ayton Wealthy Ignoramuses interest him. It is painful to try to carry on a conversation with such 2 man, Think of the splendid opportunities for education, enjoyment, and culture which that maa with thousands of éthers, is throwing away!

How this ostentatious show of the material mocks the mental poverty, the brain penury! It 1s pitiable, as well as ludicrous, to see men, who are rolling in wealth ignorant of the great world they live in, of the significance of all the principles and conditions which ameliorate and elevate mankind, men who know nothing of art or of science or literature, ans’ whose mental penury {3 deplorable.

Ravine ye + penn Modern Philosophy Brutalizes Man other creatures that tenant the earth. In their passion to show Aim as a beast, philosophers and authors have reveled in vice and depravity, calling it realism. Society is drifting without a compass, It Is a period of transition; the old canons are gone and the new ones have not yet been found. The latest an- nouncement of modern philosophy Is that you may do what you want to, but don't get caught at It. If you do, commit suicide. In this philosophy of bru- tality you have an explapation for the fact that literature always palnts Ilfe as a struggle between the forces of desire and duty. Never before in the history of the world wis there so great a need of mas- ters. Men who will interpret life in terms of sanity and sanctity, of duty and righteousness.

THERE is a class of hackmen in the city who should have more manhood than to tolerate the meeting of white men and colored women. SPRINGFIELD, Mo., followed in the wake of Springfield, Ohio. Three innocent colored men have been lynched to satiate the blood thirstiness of law-breakers and demons. COLORED men in making property returns must be sure and make return for poll.

HEFLIN, of Alabama, the congressman who is in favor of dynamiting the white house, now wants the races separated on the street cars in Washington, D. C. What more can be expected of a fellow of his ilk. His wish will not be realized. The President's reappointment of Post Master Henry Blun, Jr., meets hearty approval.

Those from a distance are unable to fully comprehend the great disaster that befell San Francisco on Wednesday last, and only those who have had any experience at all with an earthquake can fully realize the horror. Never before has such a catastrophe happened in this country, and in the world, but few to surpass it. With over a thousand lives lost, thousands of fine buildings demolished and destroyed by fire and countless persons injured; make up a catastrophe that causes the stoutest heart to quake. The sympathy of the entire nation goes out to the sufferers. Within the past several weeks number of complaints have been made about the robbing of white men by colored women. This is significant. But it is a common practice for white men to dodge in dark, lanes after the lowest classes of colored women, some of the very men who turn up their noses at a colored person on any other occasion. These men claim to be of a superior race. They should be consistent with their superiority. We do not condone women to rob these men, yet we have no sympathy for the men, they deserve losing all they posses under the circumstances. The white man under any condition protect even the lowest of their women. It behooves the colored man to be more vigilant in this direction. Effort should be made to bag and prosecute every white man and colored woman who so far forget the laws of common decency. This can be done and determined men can, and will do so. Masonic Notes.

In Canada boys have barrel races, and they are great fun. 2 ‘These races are on Ice. Ordinary barrels, with their beads removed, .are placed at regular’ inter- yals along the racecourse for about a quarter of a mile, ‘Then, at a given signal all the boys skate for the first barrel. Many reach it together and, as each skater must pass through all the barrels in order to win, there is quite a scram- ble for first turn. Sometimes a barrel wheels com- pletelyraround while a boy 1s working his way through it, and when he comes out, he 1s so confused that he skates off In the wrong direction. Us- vally the laugh of the spectators makes him realize his blunder, and he quickly turns about and tries to make up .for lost time. It is quite an excitlig sport and an amusing one also for the spectators, as the boys and barrels bob about in the most ludicrous fashion. The White House Children. If you think because the President must concern himself with affairs of tremendous moment for the country and the world he cannot romp with his little folk as other fathers do, you are mich mistaken, says a writer in St. Nicholas, And if you think that Mrs, Roosevelt has no time to seo that the children learn thelr lessons, or to ‘tuck them comfortably in bed, even on the nights of great receptions, or state dinners, sou are kewise mistaken. Or if you think that the young per- sons at the White House are excused from any educational tasks; or have any special privileges as to lessons jor school work, and envy them on that ‘account, get rid of the impression at ‘once. ‘Pocket money for ice-cream soda and chocolates {s not unkndwn but there is no unlimited indulgence in them. The President kes all wholesome things, and he is not above the fairy tales that all children love. Glasasteread Beromated, It Jhas taken a clever Frenchman to discover a kind of barometer which may be safely called untque. An English journal says that It is nothing more or less than the figure ot a general made of gingerbread, He hangs it by a string on a nail. Gingerbread, as every one knows, fs easily affected by changes in the at- mosphere, The slightest moisture ren- ders it soft, while In dry weather it grows hard and tough. Every morn- ing, on going out, the Frenchman asks his servant, “What does the ‘general say?" and the man applies his thumb to the gingerbread figure. Perhaps he may reply: “THe general feels soft, He would advise you to take an um- brefla.”. On the other hand {f the gingerbread fs hard and unyielding to the touch, it fs safe to go forth in one’s best attire, umbrella-less and confident. The Frenchman declares that the general has never yet proved unworthy of the confidence placed in him, and would advise all whose purse will not allow them to purchase a ba- rometer or aneroid, to see what the lo- cal baker can do for them in the gin- gerbread Inv.—Harper's. Gaméa for Evenings Games in which both yaung and‘old may find enjoyment are in great de- mand during the holidays, when de- lightful family reunions are the order of the season. The old-games under new names are quite as much enjoyed as more novel ones, and as a rule those are most eiijoyed which do not necessitate too much mental labor. occasionally one requiring some effort of the mind will prove enjoyable, but this should only be suggested as an fnnovation. ‘ An absurdly amusing play js that known as “bundle” game. This is something like the old nut and potato faces. Make as many bundles as there are to be players, by wrapping quantities of paper around some Inex- pensive trinket or toy, and tie Loosely with a string. The bundles should be placed on the floor at one end of the room, and each player should be pre- sented with a teaspoon. Each player who succeeds In picking up a bundle on his teaspoon, and running across the-room with it so poised, Is entitled (£00 bundles should not be toucned bY either hand, and if dropped must be picked up on the spoon again. The Player who falls to do this, while any of the contestahts slowly count five {s put out of the game. Lookers-on find this very laughable, as the players’ faces and attitudes are apt to be in excited sympathy with every. effort of the treacherous bundle and the struggle is highly amusing. “Buy” is a lvely and interesting game. Any number except seven may play. Tho players seat themselves in a circle or about a table. One begins the game by exclaiming “One!” The player to the left says “Two!” and so it goes around until it arrives at sev- en, which number must not be men- tioned, but In its place the word “buy” must be used. Whenever the number “seven” occurs or any number into which seven can be divided, “buy” must be used instead of that number. Any one mentioning seven or any number with seven in {t Instead of “buy,” or calling out of her turn, or naming a wrong number, must pay a forfeit, After she has paid the for- felt she calls out “One,” and this:time the player to the right says “Two,” so that each gets a different number. When, after a little practice, the clr- cle gets as high as seventy-one, then “Buy one!” “Buy two!” ‘ete, must be used, and for seventy-seven, “Buy! buy! and so on, If the player whose turn {t is to speak delays longer than while any member of the circle can moderately count five, she must pay a forfeit, cy “New Magic Music” Js another old game with slight additions. Chairs are placed as in the o!d game, every alternate one facing the opposite way, and one less than there‘are to be play- ‘ers. Each should be adorned with a tify bow of red or blue ribbon on the back, alternating the oolors, and each player should be presented with a bow to match, the colors being équally di- vided. The bows should be worn prominently attached to the coat or bodice. The, players arpinge them- selves in file and some one begins to play a lively air upon the plano, Beat- ing time with their hands the players march rapidly argund the chairs, un- tl the music suddenly ceases, then there ts a mad scramble for the chairs, each player being obliged to take. one decorated with his own color. If a wrong seat is chosen a forfelt must be pald. The player who fs left without a chair the oftenest should be presesit- ed with a booby prize. “Manners” fs another popular game.” One of the players leaves the room while the others decide upon some ad- jective or adverb, such as “proud” “silly,” “gay,” and so on. On being recalled the player asks any question she wishes from each person in turn, the answer being given in the manner of the word chosen, but not using the word—that ts, In a proud manner or gayly as the case may be. This is continued untll the word fs guessed, or if, after inquiring from each of the players, the right word Is not known, a forfelt must be pald, and the game begins again. Agood memory game Is called “Sug- gestions.” At least four or five play- ers are necessary, and more if poss!- ble, as the more the merrier. All but one sit In a semi-circle, and the one who does not do so sits facing the others and {s provided with ja pencil and paper. He or she calls upon one of tlie players—generally the ono far- thest to the left—for a suggestion. Having recelyed it he jots St down, and asks the next player what that suggestion suggests to him, writes that down, and inquires of the next player what the second suggestion suggests to him, and so on. To explain, the first suggestion might be “Apples.” “What do apples suggest to you?” the inter- locutor would inquire of the player on the first player's right. “An orchard,” he might reply. ‘This to the next play- er might suggest climbing trees, This again may suggest a “broken/nead” to the next player, suggesting to; the next player “An Irish fair,” and naturally from this “St. Patriek,” “Snakes,” and “The Zoo" would follow. When tho suggestions have gone round two or three times or more, according to the number playing, the players all stand up, except the one who has taken’ notes of the suggestions, He now reads out the last suggestion made, and asks any Player what that sug- gests to him; that player must re- member the suggestion before it, out of which {t arose; the player next to hick must Tecall the suggestion before Struck the Real Thing. “Here's our star half-back lald up with two broken ribs,” howled the manager, “and enough internal injur- fes to keep him in bed for a month,” “Well, I told you to keep him out of all bruising gdmes,” snarled the coach. “{t wasn’t that, The durm fool had to go and accompany his girl to a bargain sale."—Philadelphia Bulletin, | Feeding Chickens by Alarm Clock A farmer in Oregon, who owns & small poultry farm, has devised a nov- el method of feeding his chickens dur ing his absence.

The rule for frilling is one and a querter the length of the edge to be trimmed, In facing a sleeve turn jt, and place the facing inside the sleeve before sewing it on. .

The structure was opened for tramite on the second anniversary of the battle of Waterloo (from which the bridge takes its name), and the ceremony was performed by the Duke of Wellington. The general was accompanied by a staff of officers all of whom fought on the field of Waterloo. Familiarity has led us in these days to overlook the beauties of the bridge. Canova described it as the noblest bridge in the world, and said it was worth a journey from Rome to see. Duplin, the celebrated French engineer, in his "Memoirs," said it was a colossal monument worthy of the Ceasars; while on the occasion of the visit of the allied sovereigns of this country, Alexander I. of Russia, pronounced it the finest work of masonry the world had ever seen.—London Exchange. The Choice of Pallet. Fifty years ago a well-painted house was a rare sight; to-day an unpainted house is rarer. If people knew the real value of paint a house in need of paint would be "scarcer than hen's teeth." There was some excuse for our forefathers. Many of them lived in houses hardly worth preserving; they knew nothing about paint, except that it was pretty; and to get a house painted was a serious and costly job. The difference between their case and ours is that when they wanted paint it had to be made for them; whereas when we need paint we can go to the nearest good store and buy it. In any color or quality ready for use. We know, or ought to know by this time, that to let a house stand unpainted is most costly, while a good coat of paint, applied in season, is the best of investments. If we put off the brief visit of the painter we shall in due time have the carpenter coming to pay us a long visit at our expense. Lumber is constantly getting scarcer, dearer and poorer, while prepared paints are getting plentier, better and less expensive. It is a short-sighted plan to let the valuable lumber of our houses go to pieces for the want of paint. For the man that needs paint there are two forms from which to choose; one is the old form, still favored by certain unprogressive painters who have not yet caught up with the times—lead and oil; the other is the ready-for-use paint found in every up-to-date store. The first must be mixed with oil, driers, turpentine and colors before it is ready for use; the other need only be stirred up in the can and it is ready to go on. To buy lead and oil, colors, etc., and mix them into a paint by hand is, in this twentieth century, about the same as refusing to ride in a trolley car because one's grandfather had to walk or ride on horseback when he wanted to go anywhere. Prepared paints have been on the market less than fifty years, but they have probed on the whole so inexpensive, so convenient and so good that the consumption to-day is something over sixty million-gallons a year and still growling. Unless they had been in the main satisfactory, it stands to reason there would have been no such steady growth in their use. --- Mixed paints are necessarily cheaper than paint of the hand-mixed kind, because they are made in a large way by machinery from materials bought in large quantities by the manufacturer. They are necessarily better than paints mixed by hand, because they are more timely ground and more thoroughly mixed and because there is less chance of the raw materials in them being adulterated. No painter, however careful he may be, can ever be sure that the materials he buys are not adulterated, but the large paint manufacturer does know in every case, because everything he buys goes through the chemist's hands before he accepts it. Of course there are poor paints on the market (which are generally cheap paints). So there is poor flour, poor cloth, poor soap; but because of that do we go back to the hand-mill, the hand-loom and the soap-kettle of the backwoods? No, we use our common sense in choosing goods. We find out the reputation of the different brands of flour, cloth and soap; we take account of the standing of the dealer that handles them, we ask our neighbors. So with paint; if the manufacturer has a good reputation, if the dealer is responsible, if our neighbors have had satisfaction with it, that ought to be pretty good evidence that the paint is all right. "Many men of many minds"— many paints of many kinds, but while prepared paints may differ considerably in composition, the better grades of them all agree pretty closely in results. "All roads lead to Rome", and the paint manufacturers, starting by different paths, have all the same object—to make the best paint possible to sell for the least money and so capture and keep the trade. There is scarcely any other article of general use on the market to-day that can be bought with anything like the assurance of getting your money's worth as the established brands of prepared paint. The paint you buy to-day may not be like a certain patent medicine, "the same as you have always bought," but if not, it will be because the manufacturer has found a way of giving you a better article for your money, and so making sure of your next order.

Only After Expenses Were Paid and Jollity a Remembrance Came Idea That Important Fact Had been Overlooked. It seemed years since Ethridge had seen Rogers, and when they met one afternoon in Union Square the latter wouldn't let him off until he had promised to come and dine the next night. "I don't know of anything that could give me more pleasure, old man, than to buy you the best dinner that can be had in town," he said, and meant it. So the next night Ethridge met Rogers at one of the famous hotels uptown. It was the first time this winter he had been out anywhere, and the first time he had worn his evening clothes. Rogers is popular. Everybody 25 "By Jove, I Was the Guest!" knows him. They had hardly met at the appointed restaurant before a party of six men in dinner clothes surrounded him, and there were introductions to Ethridge. "Just going to dine? Come and dine with his." Insisted the spokesman of the six. So presently the double quartet was ordering wine and high-prioled delicacies, quarrelling good naturely as to who should pay for the whole spread. The cigars, Ethridge remembers, were long, glossy, brown-skinned beauties with no especial trimmings in the way of silver foli, but they cost $1.25 aplece. The bill as a whole was pretty stiff, even for that part of town. By and by it was decided to hire a room, play a few games of poker and attend to the minor detail of who should pay afterward. As soon as the game started a "kitty" was created to pay for cigars and drinks. Because the "kitty" paid everybody ordered more champagne. The play lasted till near midnight. Then, as some of the party had to catch suburban trains, the game broke up, all declaring that it had been a long time since they had spent such an agreeable evening with good fellows. Ethridge had enjoyed himself as much as any one, perhaps more. The question of who should pay came up again. Rogers grabbed the check when it was brought, but two of his friends piled onto him and took it away. "Here, this is too much for any one of us to stand," they said. The items were: Dinner, $47; wine, $35; cigars, $13.50; sundries, $8. Total, $103.50. "Let the 'kitty' pay for it." The "kitty," however, though a well-fattened animal, came $40 short of paying the bill. Ethridge had lost $25 at poker, but paid another $5 toward squaring the evening's fund, each of the party bearing his share in the deficit. Then, as they started away, it suddenly occurred to Rogers that the walter had not been tipped. "We'll soon settle that," he said. "Here, cut the cards to see who gives him $5." Ethridge lost and handed over the tip. When he started home by himself he found that his remaining cash amounted to $1.57. The evening had been so pleasant, however, that even then he did not grudge the outlay. But as he turned into his door a thought suddenly occurred to him. "By Jove, I was the guest!"—New York-Press.

STEER FOND OF FOX HUNTING. Animal In Pennsylvania Has Developed Peculiar Habits. Animals sometimes develop strange traits, and do things which seem to be entirely opposed to their nature. Probably one of the funniest cases of this kind is that of a steer on a farm in Lackawanna county, Pa., which has a turn for fox hunting and fence jumping. There are four fox hounds on the farm, and when Pete, which is the name of the steer, was a calf, he became attached to the dogs, and used to run and bellow after them whenever they started after a fox. He would follow them till a fence stopped him, when he trotted back to the barnyard and acted as if he was lonely. One day the farmer put three hounds on a fox's track, and Pete, who was in the barnyard when the hounds gave tongue, rushed out down the road, over a fence and across the fields. The fox led the hounds a lively chase, and played all manner of tricks to throw them off the scent. He went through a swamp, ran on to a bridge, then leaped off the end and took a spurt on a wall, but could not shake his pursuers off. He ran through the front yard of a neighboring farm, and a strange dog joined in the chase. Pete seemed to think the new comer had no business there, so he plunged at it, tossed it over a fence, then ran to join the hounds, which had caught the fox, and locked on contentedly. Farmer's Mechanical Figures Charles Coe, who lives in Killingworth, has arranged a curious set of life-size mechanical figures, which are attached to a water wheel in a brook near Mr. Coe's farm. These figures all work on eccentricities attached to the water wheel. They are made to go through characteristic movements. There are eight of these figures and they cover a space of some twenty-five feet. There is an old negro mammy, who is beating time to her husband's fiddle. This fiddle is strung with wires and is heard to some distance on a windy night. There are two pickanunles swinging, and there are two boys teetering on a board. There is also an old man sawing wood. These figures are made chiefly out of natural crooks of wood which Mr. Coe got from his woods, and they are all dressed in appropriate costumes and all, work together with precision. They form a queer spectacle and many come to see them.—Clinton correspondence Hartford Courant. Truant Grotto. It is believed by geologists that this beautiful natural grotto of Mitramonia, with the rest of the island of Capri, where it stands, broke off at an early age from the promontory of Sorrento and anchored itself about three miles away in the bay of Naples. Teeth Generated Electricity. "False teeth have been known to generate electricity in the mouth and shock their wearer painfully," said a dentist. "Only last week a gentleman came to me and said he feared he was getting a cancer on his tongue. 'Such severe shooting palms attack me,' he said, 'that often I utter loud oaths in the most unseemly places—at feas, before the minister and so on. It is like knift thrusts. Do you think I am going to lose my tongue." "I found that two different metals had been used in fixing the poor man's false teeth. These metals, combining with the saliva, had formed a small battery. Electricity generated in the battery continually, and shock after shock was administered to the tongue. "I painted the metal with an insulating varnish. Thereafter the man had no more trouble." Gamekeeper Captures an Eagle Many a British gamekeeper has ruthlessly shot an eagle, and even an Alpine gamekeeper seldom secures one alive. This rare exploit has just been performed by a gamekeeper at Albeuve, in Freiburg. The bird had swooped upon a hare, with which it was soaring to its eyry, when the gamekeeper fired, and the bird was hit in the wing just sufficiently to stop present flight without permanently damaging the limb. The hare was killed by the shot. The bird, which is a Royal eagle, was captured, and the wing will soon heal. The spread of the wings is 88 inches.—London Dally Globe. Europe's Tiny Republic The republic of San Marino, which Napoleon treated with serio-comic respect, is still a curiosity among states. According to the latest census its population is 9,617, less than that of a good-sized village. There are five women in the state for every four men.

Rise Liars, An Ho, All Ye A Young Girl said to a C One Statement as This burst of true American girl indignation was caused by the teacher saying that Grape-Nuts, the popular pre-digested food, was made of stale bread shipped in and sweetened. The teacher colored up and changed the subject. There is quite an assortment of travelling and stay-at-home members of the tribe of Ananias who tell their falsehoods for a variety of reasons. In the spring it is the custom on a cattle ranch to have a "round-up," and brand the cattle, so we are going to have a "round-up," and brand these cattle and place them in their proper pastures. FIRST PASTURE. Cooking school teachers—this includes "teachers" who have applied to us for a weekly pay if they would say "something nice" about Grape-Nuts and Postum, and when we have declined to hire them to do this they get waspy and show their true colors. This also includes "demonstrators" and "lecturers" sent out by a certain Sanitarium to sell foods made there, and these people instructed by the small-be-whiskered-doctor—the head of the institution—to tell these prevarications (you can speak the stronger word if you like). This same little doctor conducts a small magazine in which there is a department of "answers to correspondents," many of the questions as well as the answers being written by the aforesaid doctor. In this column some time ago appeared the statement: "No, we cannot recommend the use of Grape-Nuts, for it is nothing but bread with glucose poured over it." Right then he showed his badge as a member of the tribe of Anaulas. He may have been a member for some time before, and so he has caused these "lecturers" to descend into the ways of the tribe wherever they go. When the young lady in New York put the "Iron on" to this "teacher" and branded her right we sent $10.00 to the girl for her pluck and bravery. SECOND PASTURE. Editors of "Trade" papers known as grocers' papers. Remember, we don't put the brand on all, by any means. Only those that require it. These members of the tribe have demanded that we carry advertising in their papers and when we do not consider it advisable they institute a campaign of vituperation and slander, printing from time to time manufactured slurs on Postum or Grape-Nuts. When they go far enough we set our legal force at work and hale them to the judge to answer. If the pace has been hot enough to throw some of these "cattle" over on their backs, feel tied and "bellowing," do you think we should be blamed? They gambol around with tails held high and jump still leged with a very "cocky" air while they have full range, but when the rope is thrown-over them "it's different." Should we untie them because they bleat soft and low? Or should we put the iron on, so that people will know the brand? Let's keep them in this pasture, anyhow. A TRANSLATION.

Now we come-to a frisky lot, the "Labor Union" editors. You know down in Texas a weed called "Loco" is sometimes eaten by a steer and produces a derangement of the brain that makes the steer "batty" or crazy. Many of these editors are "Locoed" from hate of anyone who will not instantly obey the "demands" of a labor union, and it is the universal habit of such writers to go straight into a system of personal vilification, manufacturing any sort of falsehood through which to vent their spleen. We assert that the common citizen has a right to live and breathe air without asking permission of the labor trust, and this has brought down on us the hate of these editors. When they go far enough with their libels, is it harsh for us to get judgment against them and have our lawyers watch for a chance to attach money due them from others? (For they are usually irresponsible). Keep your eye out for the "Lo-coed" editor. Now let all these choice specimens take notice: We will deposit one thousand or fifty thousand dollars to be covered by a like amount from them, or any one of them, and if there was ever one ounce of old bread or any other ingredient different than our selected wheat and barley with a little salt and yeast used in the making of Grape-Nuts, we will lose the money. Our pure food factories are open at all times to visitors, and thousands pass through each month, inspecting every department and every process. Our factories are so clean that one could, with good relish, eat a meal from the floors. The work people, both men and women, are of the highest grade in the State of Michigan, and according to the State labor reports, are the highest paid in the State for similar work. Let us tell you exactly what you will see when you inspect the manufacture of Grape-Nuts. You will find tremendous elevators containing the choiceest wheat and barley possible to buy. These grains are carried through long conveyers to grinding mills, and there converted into flour. Then the machines make selection of the proper quantities, of this flour in the proper proportion, and these parts are blended into a general flour which passes over to the big doughmixing machines, there water, salt and a little yeast are added and the dough kneaded the proper length of time. Remember that previous to the barley having been ground it was passed through about one hundred hours of soaking in water, then placed on warm floors and slightly sprouted, developing the diastase in the barley, which changes the starch in the grain into a form of sugar. Now after we have passed it into dough and it has been kneaded long enough. It is moulded by machinery into leaves about 18 inches long and 5 or 6 inches in diameter. It is put into this shape for convenience in second cooking. These great loaves are sliced by machinery and the slices placed on wire trays, these trays, in turn, placed on great steel trays, and rolled into the secondary ovens, each perhaps 75 or 80 feet long. There the food is subjected to a long, low heat and the starch which has not been heretofore transformed, is turned into a form of sugar generally known as Post Sugar. It can be seen glistening on the granules of Grape-Nuts if held toward the light, and this sugar is not poured over or put on the food as these prevaricators ignomently assert. On the contrary the sugar exudes from the interior of each little granule during the process of manufacture, and reminds one of the little white particles of sugar that come out on the end of a hickory log after it has been sawed off and allowed to stand for a length of time. This Post Sugar is the most digesti- bie food known for human use. It is so perfect in its adaptability that moth ers with very young infants, will pour a little warm milk over two or three spoonfuls of Grape-Nuts, thus washing the sugar off from the granules and carrying it with the milk to the bottom here's a Reason" Nuts and K A RARE NOVELTY.

Then this milk charged with Post Sugar is fed to the infant producing the most satisfactory results for the baby has food that it can digest quickly and will go off to sleep well fed and contented. When baby gets two or three months old it is the custom of some mothers to allow the Grape-Nuts to soak in the milk a little longer and become much, whereupon a little of the food can be fed in addition to the milk containing the washed off sugar. It is by no means manufactured for a baby food, but these facts are stated as an illustration of a perfectly digestible food. It furnishes the energy and strength for the great athletes. It is in common use by physicans in their own families and among their patients, and can be seen on the table of every first-class college in the land. We quote from the London Lancet analysis as follows: "The basis of nomenclature of this preparation is evidently an American pleasantry, since 'Grape-Nuts' is derived solely from cereals. The preparatory process undoubtedly converts the food constituents into a much more digestible condition than in the raw cereal. This is evident from the remarkable solubility of the preparation no less than one-half of it being soluble in cold water. The soluble part containing chiefly dextrin and no starch. In appearance 'Grape-Nuts' resemble fried bread-crumbs. The grains are brown and crisp, with a pleasant taste not unlike slightly burnt malt. According to our analysis the following is the composition of 'Grape-Nuts': Moisture, 6.02 per cent; mineral matter, 2.01 per cent; fat, 1.60 per cent; pretelds, 15.00 per cent; soluble carbohydrates, etc., 49.40 per cent; and unaltered carbohydrates (insoluble), 23.07 per cent. The features worthy of note in this analysis are the excellent proportion of proteid, mineral matters, and soluble carbohydrates per cent. The mineral matter was rich in phosphoric acid. 'Grape-Nuts' is described as a brain and nerve food, whatever that may be. Our analysis, at any rate, shows that it is a nutritive of a high order, since it contains the constituents of a complete food in very satisfactory and rich proportion and in an easily assimilable state." An analysis made by the Canadian Government some time ago shows that Grape-Nuts contains nearly ten times the digestible elements contained in ordinary cereals, and foods, and nearly twice the amount contained in any other food analyzed. The analysis is familiar to practically every successful physician in America and London. We print this statement in order that the public may know the exact facts upon which we stake our honor and will back it with any amount of money that any person or corporation will put up. We propose to follow some of these choice specimens of the tribe of Ananins. When you hear a cooking school teacher or any other person assert that either Postum or Grape-Nuts are made of any other ingredients than those printed on the packages and as we say they are made, send us the name and address, also name of two or three witnesses, and if the evidence is clear enough to get a judgment we will right that wrong quickly. Our business has always been conducted on as high a grade of human intelligence as we are capable of, and we propose to clear the dock of these provocators and liars whenever and wherever they can be found. Attention is again called to the general and broad invitation to visitors to go through our works, where they will be shown the most minute process and device in order that they may understand how pure and clean and wholesome Grape-Nuts and Postum are. There is an old saying among business men that there is some chance to train a fool, but there is no room for a liar, for you never can tell where you are, and we hereby serve notice on all the members of this ancient tribe of Ananias that they may follow their calling in other lines, but when they put forth their lies about Grape-Nuts and Postum, we propose to give them an opportunity to answer to the proper authorities. The New York girl wisely said that if a person would lie about one item, it brands the whole discourse as absolutely unreliable. Keep your iron ready and brand these "mavericks" whenever you find them running loose. for Postum a TU ee EE Se _ “s FT ee Z . \ . = = ” ft Annannnnnnnt ae AR nny that ehé “ald"tiot’ “sbut the doorfay TRIAT EAD LIEDCOY | sane wasman maane cp a O Doubting Heart! ~ . agafast me" : ON TRIAL FOR HERESY, . = Graham depostted-the next day, in —_ Sane nnn! i . ns ~ the name of the church, a check for | ‘Reva Dr. Grapsey of Eplacopal Church 7 : SCHEDULE EFFECTIVE A , “yi . é ten thousand dollars.

The rich man dropped {ato his re- volving chair with the suddenness of @ discovery in gravitation. “You did, did you? Well, I don't know about that,” he sald, quizztcally. “We need a church and a rectory,” the minister continued, without vis- fble discomfiture. “There will be no trouble about getting a rectory it I can manago to secure the church building.” ‘ _“Married?” the rich man Ingulred, swinging about. “No,” was the laconic answer. “Want to be?” Mr. Clanpel asked, eurlously, as if he had searched years for such an anomaly. “If I had the church,” the clergy- man-replied, “I could have a rectory, and fT had a rectory I could—” “Yes, ses; I understand,” Mr. Clau- pel broke in, “but I’m afraid I can’t - afford you a chureh.

Miss Adetbert had just returned trom a vacatlon spent at a tiny village on the Maine coast. In recounting her experiences she talked somewhat for the benefit of a cousin, 2 quiet per son, who was visiting her city relative for the first time in many years. “There was just one store in the place,” sald Miss Adelbert, “and they kept everything that is, everything they had to keep. “One day I went to buy some soap, and just on a venture I asked the clerk if they had Browning. He stared at me a second, then went off and looked under the counters and,on the shelves. * ‘ “Presently he came back and sald, ‘No, miss, we ain't got none, We got dlacking, an’ we got bluln, an’ we got whiting, but we ain't got a bit o' browning in the store.” ~ Miss Adelbert had to make several protests to assure her audience that ‘this really happened.

The man who fails to appreciate the value of recreation 1s making a great mistake.

The first trlal for heresy in years in the Protestant ptscopal church was begun at Batavia, N. ¥., Tues- cay, when the Rev. A. S. Crapscy, D. D., for twenty-fi¥e years rector uf St. Andrew's church, at Rochaster, was placed on trial before un ,eccle- siastical court charged with utter ances from the pulpit of that church end In print which are charged to be fn violation of the tenets of the Prot- ‘eetant Episcopal faith.” ‘There is ‘no dispute as to what Dr. Crapsey afd. The question that will be at fesuc on tae trial Is whether or rot his questioned preachings do or do not violste the doctrines of the church, {n 1904 and 1995 Dr. Cray- ‘sey delivered 4 series of sermons. ‘ihese were afterwards published, ua- dor his authority, under the title, “Ke- Legion and Politics.” The presentment agalnst him coa- tajns fiftezn extracts from this book, which are the basis for the charge that he {nteationally expressed disbe- Het in these doctrines of the ehurch: ‘The divinity of Christ; the concep- tlon of the Holy Ghost; the virgin birth; the bodily resurreation and tha trinity. ‘The second specification under thls firat charge {s that he made utterances of a like nature as recently as De- cember 31 last, with the same intent to deny the same doctrines, as enun- elated In the Apostles’ and Nicene creeds. 3 ‘The last charge in the presentment Is that Dr. Crapsey violated his ordi: nation vows by failing to conform to the doctrine, discipline and worship of the Protestant Episcopal church, Under the second specification of the first-charge, the utterances attrib: uted to him In his December sermon are these: First—“Jesua was born of parents belonging to the middle class.” Second—“He was born of a simple father and.mother.” ‘Third—"He was the son of 2 car penter.”” . Fourth—"That the fact that the oar- ly Christiana predicted a miraculous birth to Christ was to be regarde! as one the greatest misfortunes that bad ever befallen mankind.” ‘The sole question ts whether the things that Dr: Crapsy said are cou- trary to those doctrines and did he so intend them to be. It fs understood that Dr. Crapsey’s defense will hold that though a lb eral interpreter of the creed, he has not contradicted“its doctrines, * AGAINST INSURANCE GRAFT. President Urges Law Which Will Pre- * vent Repotition of Scandals. President Roosevelt Tuesday trans roitted to congress an !mportant mes sage relating to insurance legisation; uccompanylng the message were the report and recommendations of the Insurance convention which was held In Chicago last February. In the rec ommendations is the draft of a bill which congress fs urged to enact intu Jaw with such amendments as its wiz dom may suggest. ‘The president says the convention sought “to prepare a Mill which should be at once protec. tive of policy holders and falr and just to insurance compantes, ani which should prevent the graver evils and abuses of the business and at the some time forestall any wild or dras tle legislation which would be more harmful than beneficial.” ‘The president urges the enactmem of the proposed measure, as, he says. “We are not to be pardoned if we fai to take every step in our power to prevent the poss{bility of the repett tion of such scandals as those that have oceuzred in cornection with the insurance lusiness as disclosed by the Armstrong committee.” Army Bill Reported.
