Extracts from an Address Made by
Him in New York Sunday Evening.
Colonel Robert &. Ingersoll talked
hoarsely and Interestingly to about a
thousand we'll dressed men and women
at Chickering hall for about an hour
last night. The laughter and applause
were pretty nearly continuous. Among
other things he said were these:
If nobody has too much everybody
will have enough.
would like to see this world so that
man could die and not feel that he
has left his wife and children prey to
the greed or avaricc or necessities OF
mankind.
There is something wrong in the sys-
tenn when idleness is burdened with
wealth and industry with famine.
Get out of your minds that old non
sense about mans free moral agency.
A man is no more responsible for his
character than for his height, or for his
acts than for his dreams. Then you
will have charity for the whole human
race.
Wealth is not crime nor is poverty
a virtue, although virtue has generally
been poor.
There is only one good-haman hap
piness.
To do right is the bud, blossom and
fruit of wisdom,
No perfectly civilized man could be
perfectly happy while there was an I'M
happy being in the universe that he
knew.
The poor imagine that the rich live
In paradise. know that most Of them
live in gilded hell.

to own s5,O0O,O 900. The money owns
him. He is the key to safe. Yet these
men go on accumulating. 1t is sort

Great wealth is the mother OF crime.
The gulf is growing wide between
Lazarus and Dives. only the two have
changed places-Dives is in Abraham's
bosom.
The rich have scorn and contempt
for the poor; the poor envy and hatred
for the rich. There must be some way
for the loving poor and the sympathetic
rich to get acquainted. If there is any
thing that should bring mankind to-
gether it is common belief, but in this
Christian country there 10 no welcome
in the velvet for the rags. would
think much of any religion that would
allow the rich and the poor to clasp
hands, if only for an instant once o
week.
All men are not capable Of getting q
living now. Some are not cunning

enough.
Millions of machines have been in
vented to save labor, but the laborer
does not own the machine. The ma

No man should be allowed to own

from attachment for debt, but free from
taxation also. Then we would have a
nation of fresides and nation OF

There is something about money that
dries up the affections. suppose that

are the natural products OF the system.

The first great remedy is the ballot.
The poor are in the majority. If the
law Expresses them it is their fault.
They have followed the fife and drum OF
some party. No man should go with
a party unless it is going his way.
A civilized man will never want to
sell thing for more than it is worth,
nor will he want to buy anything Tor
less than what 1T is worth.

verses this frgid dec's'on and rules
that the marriage of woman who has

A Fun and Ample Apology.

Count Munster, lately German am.
bassador in London, once at a Bucking-
ham palace reception engaged in an un
dertone conversation with another diplo
matte officer, when up came a super
serviceable court functionary, slapped
him smartly on the shoulder and in
formed him that people were not sup
posed to come to the palace to talk"
The ambassador pulverized the official
with a naughty Bismarckian stare and
replied: Il did not come here, sir, to
receive lessons in manners" and he at
once summoned his attache, quilted the
throne-room III high dudgeon and drove
direct to the foreign Office. where he
lodged a formal complaint against the
court ~functionary for insulting imperti-
hence, and announced that unless he re-
ceived a full and ample apology he
would lay the matter before his govern
ment. The case was laid before the
queen, who ordered that a proper letter
should be written to the count by the
fussy court official, which was done at
once. -Chicago Herald.

Since 1913 pieces of native iron have
been brought from Greenland by many
explorers, and have in nearly every case
been ascribed to meteoric origin. Steen-
strup, in his third voyage to Greenland.
1876-S0, found the native iron, however.
in a basaltic rock in grains varying from
a fraction Of a millimeter to eighteen
millimctcas. 1t also occurs on the west
ern and northern sides of Disco island
and in other places. This settles beyond
a doubt the question of the origin of the
Greenland native iron. This ore may
become of great commercial Importance.

REFORMING THE POLICE.
Roller Skates To He Worn While on Duty
"A Prominent Chemists Suggestion.

New York Times.
1t has recently been proposed that
the police should be provided with
roller skates, to tie worn when on duty.
The advocates of this scheme maintain
that a policeman could skate over the
sidewalk much faster than a burglar or
cashier could run, and could thus easily
overtake a flying criminal. Also, the
skating policeman who should notice a
fight in progress q block or two from
him could arrive on the scene in time
to prevent a murder and to make an
arrest.
OF course if the policemen were
mounted on skates they would be treated
as mounted troops and instructed ii
the calvary drill. A charge bya platoon
of skating policemen would be an im.
posing sight, but it might not strike
terror into a mob. All the latter would
have to do would be to throw a few
sticks on the pavement in front
of the advancing column in order
to enjoy the pleasing spectacle OF
a whole platoon of policemen sud.
denly stan ing on their heads. The
cutters would also constitute an insuper-
able obstacle to rapid movement on

policeman would arrive rapidly at the
scene of a street fight, it is based Upon
a total misunderstanding of the nature
of a patrolman S duties. He is not ex-
pected to assist in creating disorder by
mixing himself up in a street fight, but
to wait until the light is over, and then
to arrest any helpless survivor who has
been stabbed, shot or beaten.
The roller skate suggestion is vastly
inferior in merit to that more re-

would be so light that he could run with
amazing swiftness. His progress while
running would be a series of bounds.
He would strike the pavement, say three
times only while running the

and each time the rebound would
carry him at least fifty feet forward, at
an a erage height of six feet above the
ground. No runaway criminal could
possibly escape an officer thus Q luipped,

of walking over his teat so easy that he
