BROAD RELIQJON A NECESWTV, 8AY8 PRESIDENT. • MISSION OF THE CHURCH Roosevelt Deliver* Address at Oyster 'Say Celebration--Asserts Domin* ant Tendencies of Day Are for Good. Anchoring facilities for political craft are not good at Oyster Bay in Uieste midsummer days. In a few years from now we will be hearing of reunions of people who once were incubator babies: . • , Singularly enough, though the Well- man and the Peary expeditions .are rivals they are not seeking the oppo site poles. Walter Wellroan has somewhat the better of any previous pole hunter. He is writing* editing and dispatching his own press notices. Ella Wheeler Wilcox says money is a poor substitute for, love, and there are women who hold that love poor, substitute for money. is 4 Those peace plans proposed by the Interparliamentary congress are bound to work perfectly until the next occas ion for a foreign war arises. In Germany denatured alcohol costs 20 cents a gallon, and it is used for heat, light and motors. What about its odoriferous tendencies? An Ohio woman has so injured her Jaw by yawning that .she will not be able to talk for two weeks. Let us hope it is not a case of retribution. Whether England likes America or not, both countries will continue their customary exchange of literature and merchandise and be comparatively happy. A special census gives the number of deaf persons in the United Stfites as 75,000. The returns omit to say how many of them are given to walking on the railway tracks. Owing to the high prices of wood, all-steel passenger cars for railways can now be built as cheaply as wood cars. ' They weigh but one-tenth more nnii kill you only half as often. "One bank in Naples handles re mittances of $500,000 a year from the United States. The army of Italian immigrants vie with the Irish in membering the folks at home.' A Massachusetts woman who had Bpent but four dollars for doctors' bills in her life died at the age of 102, the other day. The inference is that if she had saved that four dollars she might have been living yet. Acording to a recent magazine ar ticle the men at work along the Pan ama canal say: "Six grains of quinine and ten minutes of Stevens the first thing in the morning will key a fel low up all day." There is nothing like working under a chief who tones you up. Some chiefs think they have to take the crimp out of their forces. A recent inquiry among experts in England has resulted in the statement that the 'average man should stop, playing football at 30, hockey at 35, cricket at 40 and lawn tennis and rowing at 60. The two sports that he may keep at as long as he' lastsvare golf and curling--which again illus trates the proverbial canniness of the • Scots. Maine has long been the great hunt ing ground for big game, a veritable hunters' paradise for sportsmen of the eastern states, and that they have availed themselves generously of Its facilities is shown by„the fact that for eeveral year3 about ^5,000 deer and 600 moose have been killed annually, and this notwithstanding that the state has laws for the protection of game and enforces them fairly well. But it is obvious that Maine can not stand such a drain as this year after year, says the Newark Advertiser. If Maine is to preserve her "happy hunt ing grounds" and make money out of the pleasure of others she must still farther restrict the shooting. Another western millionaire has married a humble hotel maid. It was love at first sight as she twirled a feather duster with careless grace in the corridor. This infatuation of our capitalists for the hotel help is a theme to which only a Whittier could do justice. The American heiress, however, is not on record as marry ing a bellboy err a porter. She doesn't care so much for a uniform as lor a title. Oyster Bay, N. Y.--In a half hour address at the bicentenary celebration of the Christ Episco pal church here Saturday, President Roosevelt taiked of the necessity of religion and clean living for the wel fare of the nation. "I cannot understand any American citizen," he said, "who has the faint est feeling of patriotism and devotion to his country failing to appreciate the absolute essential need of religion in its broadest sense, to the welfare of this country. , "If it were' not tor the fact that In our villages and towns as they have grown up the churches have grown up in them, and in the churches men whose work is not for the things of the body, but for the welfare of the soul, it would, not be a . nation to-day, because this nation would not be a fit abode for civilized man." Mission of the Church. He said that our material founda tion of wealth was but a base for the spiritual growth of the nation, and while the material ought not to, be disregarded, its real object ought not to be lost sight of. The mission of the church was not to work in the in terests of one sect, but for humanity as a whole. In this connection he said he had been struck by the pre diction of Bishop Burgess, of Long Is land, who had Just said that in two or three generations there would but one church in this country. "I wish to emphasize," said the president, "the vital importance to this nation of our people being taught to realize that Christianity manifests itself in the conduct of its most hum ble professor." Here the president read several verses from the Bible to the point that not the hearers but the doers of the word were the true follow ers of Christ;. The president took is- sune with former speakers who had said that the dominant tendencies in the nation to-day were evil, rather than good. "It is perfectly true," he declared, "that in many things as a people, the tendencies at work among us ^to-day are evil, but it is perfectly true, also, that there are plenty of other tendencies at work among us which are good." Condemns Religion as a Cloak. He spoke of the necessity of the members of the Christian churches condemning vigorously those who take religion as a cloak for their evil deeds. On the subject of riches, the president said: "There is nothing I abhor more than the telling of an untruth, whether a conventional un truth or not, and I would on no ac count be understood as affecting to deprecate material well-being. To tell men to disregard riches entirely is to preach to them not only a doc trine which It is impossible for them to live up to, but which the preacher knows perfectly well they will not try to live up to. But put riches be low the things of the soul. Give to the body what the body is entitled to. The multi-millionaire is not a harm, but a good to the community* if he appreciates that he is only a trustee for that wealth--that he is a trustee for the cause of goodness." The president emphasized the neces sity of every man being thoroughly self-supporting as a -basis for spiritual life. He concluded with the sentiment that the only life worth living was one that made others better because it had been lived. " BANKER IN OLSON'S CHARGE STENSLAND TURNED OVER TO CHICAGO 8TATE'8 ATTORNEY. President Takes Hand In Bringing Fu gitive to Justice--M4y Return on Refrigerating Ship. Chicago.--Paul O. Stensland la absolutely in the custody of Assist ant State's Attorney Hgrry Olson at Tangier, Morocco. This information was obtained in a cablegram from Mr. Olson, received Friday by Acting State's Attorney Barbour, aa 1©K - lows: , "Stensland turned over to me." The brevity of the dispatch leave# much to conjecture, but Mr. Barbour believes that Mr. Olson has brushed aside all difficulties and is in a posi tion to start for home with his prison er as soon as a ship is available. The action of the United States representatives at Tangier in turning Stensland over to Mr. Olson is be lieved to be due to the cablegram senl from the state department at Wash ington, in accordance with the in* structions of President Roosevelt. The president wired from 6ystef Bay that he desired the department of state to go to any necessary ex tent in the effort to bring Stensland to justice, adding: " , 'He is one of the most obnoxious types of criminals. HQ robbed hun dreds of very poor people, and . Is said to have caused several sui cides." The present indications are that Stensland will return to America on the United States refrigerating ship Glacier, unless some better method of transportation Is found by Mr. Ol son. It is undesirable to take th6 pris oner through any foreign country, for fear of-possible extradition entangle ments. The ship Glacier, if it is avail able, will solve the problem, for this vessel is expected to sail direct for the United States without stopping on the wa^. SENATOR DEPEW NEARLY WELL Will Return to His Seat In Congress Early in December. New York, Sept. 8.--When congress meets at the beginning of next Decem ber Senator Chauncey M. Depew will be found in his seat. This assurance was made by a member of his fam ily. "Senator Depew's recovery has been slow, but the gains he has made have been held," he said. "At no time with in the last year has he been in such good health and spirits, and the doc tors assert that if the improvement continues he will be equal to the strain of another session of con gress." For several months Senator Depew has been in retirement at his home in Dubbs Ferry. The nature of his malady has never been made known, but was generally understood to have been in the nature of a nervous break down. ALLEGES CARRIERS ARE UNFAf* Death in Vat of Hot Water. Detroit, Mich.--John Mielke, laborer at the plant of the Railway Steel com pany, is dead after having been par boiled in a pit of hot water. Mielke's shoes had become greasy from walk ing about the engine room and as he was passing the pit, which received the boiling water from the cylinders of the engine, he slipped and fell headlong into the scalding liquid. He was entirely immersed, being practically parboiled from head to foot and for five hours suffered most intense agony until death brought re lief. Wichita (Kan.) Company Appeal* to Interstate Commission. Washington.--Three petitions war* ^led Thursday with the interstate commerce commission by the John son-Larimer Dry Goods company, of Wichita, Kan., against the Mai lory line of steamers sailing out of New York, the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe railway, the Wabash, and about 40 other lines, alleging unjust, unreason able and discriminatory rates on cot ton fabrics and knit goods shipped to Wichita, as against the rates accorded various shipping centers in the west. The interstate commerce commis sion made public an order calling upon the railroads of the country for Information in regard to block signal ing practice and electric signaling ap pliances. The information is asked in order that the commission may comply with a joint resolution passed at the last session of congress. Some scientist has discovered that germs taken from the dregs of French wine barrels and introduced into wine that has just been made will Impart to it the flavor and bouquet of the rarest old Moselle.

One of the gravest perils besetting the Romanoff dynasty is that its grand dukes are hardly ever grand.

To Enforce Pure Food Law. Washington.--As the result of the new pure food la which goes into effect January 1 next, the department of agriculture is making preparations l~r tte increased labor and equipment involved in its enforcement.

Concern to Reorganize. . Kankakee, 111.--The ipavid Bradley Manufacturing company, of this cit7, Friday went into voluntary liquida tion. Assets are $1,962,883, and lia bilities $790,331. The object of the liquidation.is to reorganize business. A St. Louis bellboy gave to the wrong man a grip containing $150,000. This teaches us that when we have $160,000 in a grip we should always Insist on carrying it ourselves. A great scarcity of dimes is re ported. Dollars aren't as plentiful as they might be, either.

Chief Justice Start Says Statute Does Not Authorize Sale of School or Swamp Lands of State. St. Paul, Minn.--The state supreme court Friday ^handed down a decision in the case of the state of Minnesota versus Mabel C. Evans, upholding the decision of the St. Louis county court at Duluth, which held that the state law governing mineral leases is con stitutional. This case involves the title to the famous Virginia Silver mine, located on the Minnesota range and which is said to be worth several million dollars. The action was brought by the state against Mabel Evans, the holder of the lease on the ground that mineral leases are invalid because school and swamp lands can only be sold at public auction. In this case the lease was taken out pri vately, there being but one party to make a bid on the "lease. The court, in its decision by Chief Justice Start, held that "on a full con sideration of the question it is the openion of the court that this mineral lease statute does not authorize a sale of any of he school or swamp lands of the state within the meaning of the constitutional prohibition; that it is constitutional and the leases are valid." The court held that a lease to the mineral rights did not carry with it the title to the land, which was still vested in the state. Judge Start ex plained that while this view was rath er far fetched, the court decided the Question In this manner in order that the extensive business interests, in volving an immense investment of capital, might not be seriously dis turbed. The decision affects all the mineral holdings of the United States Steel corporation, J. J. Hill's Iron ore inter ests and many other small holdings. WORK OF NATIONAL HATCHERY Nearly Two Billidn Fry Propagated • During the Past Year. Washington.--A preliminary state ment made by George H. Bowers, United States commissioner of fisher ies, to the secretary of the depart ment of commerce and labor of the operations of his bureau for the past fiscal year, says that the aggregate output of fry from the commission's hatcheries during the year was only a trifle less than 2,000,000,000. The actual figures were 1,931,854,609, an increase of nearly 200,000,000 over the output of 1905. "The fish cultural operations of the government," the statement points out, "appeal to the tastes and satisfy the needs of all sorts and conditions of men. For the people of the New England coast, where from the earliest colonial days the rich harvests of the sea have been gathered by, hardy fish ermen, cod, flounders and lobsters have been produced in immense num bers, and nowadays when one of Jthese is caught it is very likely to bear Uncle Sam's hall mark if a person only knows where to look for itf The very successful operations of the new marine hatchery in Maine will do much to keep up the abundance of fish in these waters."

Tat&r Insurgent Hero Assassins. Victim of Baku.--Leslie Urquhart, the British vice consul here, who was decorated by King Edward for heroism in rescu ing English isolated at Balakhna from Tartar Insurgents during the massa cres of 1905, and who is one of ^the most prominent men in the oil region, was the victim of a serious attack Sat urday night in the center of the city, and miraculously escaped death. Though he was fired at eight times at short range his only injuries were six slight flesh wounds. The motive for the crime has not been estab lished, but it is believed to be a rev olutionary act planned after the at tack on Germans at Warsaw preced ing the attempt on the life of Gov. Gen. Skallon. Mr. Urquhart, who was "unarmed, was driving in his carriage at seven o'clock Saturday evening, when a shot was fired from the pavement, the bul let passing through the back of his carriage. Immediately a second assailant leaped from the crowd to the step of the carriage and fired a bullet, which penetrated the fleshy part of his hand. Mr. Urquhart, who is tall and strongly built, jumped up to grapple with his assailant, but the horse bolt ed, throwing him violently to the pavement, where he lay half stunned. His assailant was the first to rise, and emptied the other six shots from his automatic revolver at the pros trate body, four of them going through the vice consul's Waistcoat and two through his trousers. Mr. Urquhart was able to rise and pursue the man who had attacked him, but he escaped in the crowd. When Mr. Urquhart \yas undressed and examined it was found that he had been grazed five times on the abdomen and wounded on the hand. The authorities are actively investi gating the affair, but thus far no ar rests have been made. " ^ CAMBRIDGE WINS BOAT RACE. Harvard Oarsmen Defeated in Inter national Contest.

"I had an eruption appear on illy ohest and body and extend upwards and downwards, so that my neck and face were all broken out; also my arms and the lower limbs as far as the knees. I at- first thought it was prickly heat. But scon scales or crusts formed where the breaking out was. Instead of going to a physician I purchased a complete treatment of the" Cuticura Remedies, in which I had great faith, and all was satisfactory. A year or two later the eruption ap peared again, only a little lower; but before it had time to spread I pro cured another supply of the Cuticura Remedies, and continued their use un til the cure was complete. It is now five years since the last attack, and have not seen any signs of a return. I have more faith in Cuticura Reme dies for skin diseases than anything I know of. Emma E.
