stock traffic then it is entitled to-" and
suggests that the management OF the road
restrict such traffic to an amount not ex-
ceeding two train loads per week until the
irregularity is corrected.
The benefit of this restriction. the board
saws, is to be given the Chicago & Alton

properly"
If this plan fails to produce the desired
result, the board reserves the right to
propose some other arrangement and in
Inmates that it may become necessary to
temporarily advance the rates upon one or
more roads.
The decision is chiefly interesting as
showing how near the Interstate COM
MERGE association can come to avoiding
collision with the interstate commerce
commission. The interest is heightened
by the fact that the chairman of the asso-
citation was only recently member of the
commission.

THE CRONIN CASE
Nothing Startling Developed-Wood
Story Now Credited.

CHICAGO, June 10.-Nothing of al inter-
esting character was developed at today's
session of the CIonln jury of inquest.
During the morning Michael Whalen.
the suspected detective, who was with De-
tective Coughlin when they met with the
man suspected of driving DR.. Cronin to
his death, but did not arrest him, and
Thomas O'Connor, a tin smith, were the
only witnesses. Both are members of the
Clan-na-Gael. but rigid cross-questioning
failed to connect them with the doctors
taking-of.
During the noon recess the jury
held consultation with the coroner in his
office. The talk lasted an hour and
when it was over it had been deciden that
all witnesses summoned TO testify whose
evidence would be but corroborative of
what had already been offered should be
excused, the jury being in their own
minds satisfied OF the truth of the priuci
pal allegation that DR.. Cronln came to his
death as the result OF conspiracy and
that sufficient auimus and motive existed
to form conspiracy; should any witness
the testimony of whom should contradict
anything thus far be presented il was decid-
ed that such witness be, Of course, heard. as
well as those who would have anything
new. This decision will doubtless shorten
the inquest by at least one day.
At the afternoon session James Carroll
and a J. Jordan, Grammatical men, were
put on the stand and examined at length
without bringing out anything new or
sensational.
Thomas Whalen, brother Of ex-De-
tective Michael Whalen and cousin OF the
ice man, was next sworn. he denied be-
ing member Of the Clan-na-Gael.
Patrick Cannon, the last witness Of the
day avowed himself member. Nothing
of any Importance was extracted from
either.
An afternoon paper quotes States At
torney Longnecker as saying: Woodruff
has told straight story TO the chief. 1t is
now certain that he is the man who drove
the wagon and Coughlin and P. o. Sulli-
van are into il now"

Two ladies had been
down town shopping
the other day and cas-
ually meet on the
same car returning
home. The burden Of
their conversation
was about the dry
goods they had pur-
chased and from
whom purchased. One
lady said she had
been reading the ad-
vertiSementS Of some
Of the prominent dry
goods houses and had
made up her mind to
find out from which
house she could get
her goods cheapest,
whereupon her lady
friend asked her from
whom did she buy.
She said she had made
up her mind to buy a
certain kind of dress
goods and what she
was asked 75c for in
one house and 73c in
another she was only
asked coo for at the
Arcade" This Of
course settled the
question. The second
lady then remarked
that several Of her
neighbOrs had been
telling her recently Of
the very low prices
asked for dry goods
at the Arcade" but
really she said I am so
accustomed to going
to a Ger tain store that
I go there anyway and buy what
I want and pay them whatever
they ask. But just think Of the
difference in the prices; you paid
$3.50 for your dress and I only
paid the Arcade" $500 and I
think we might as well have this
$3.50 in our pocket as pay it to
these old houses. Iguess the car
cade" must be cutting prices to
get our trade and just as long as
they cut prices I am willing to
buy.
One OF the attaches Of the Gar
cade" had the pleasure Of listen
ing to this unintentiOnable COM
pliment for the Arcade"

Any one who has the ability to ask q
question that, to him, is worth asking,
has the capacity to receive an answer
that, to him, is worth receiving. a
thoughtful child, Oh inquiring about
the location Of Heaven, was told by
his mother that he could not under
stand her even if she explained it.
She was probably right in SO far as the
child's ability to understand her was
concerned; but she was wrong III not
telling him that the fault was with
herself, and not with him. Had she
known us much about answering him
as he knew about questioning her,
there need have been no trouble about
his understanding her explanation.
There is no question that child can
seriously and fairly ask, that cannot be
as seriously and fairly answered. To
tell a child, or to lead it to infer, that
il is "too littlcn to know anything more
on any subject about which it already
knows enough to frame u question, is
to deny its capacity for further growth.
1t is to thrust the child's mind into q
dungeon instead of opening it to the
LIGHT. 1t is to bind it in fetters instead
of giving it freedom OF action. Abili-
ty 10 ask, prcsupposes capacity to re-
ccive. And no questions are better
worth answering and worth better All
swers than child's.-S. S. Times.

ALI NIGHT in PRAYER.

The writer does not refer to the well
known case of our divine Redeemer q!
recorded by one of the evangelists, but
to that of an humble follower of his.
A precious revival had burst, as il
were, upon one of our churches, to the
surprise of most of the members of it.
They were not expecting it, or prepar
ed for it. If they had been praying
for it in cold, formal way, they hard
ly expected their prayers to be answer
ed. But now the Lord was manifest
ly among them, reviving His people
and converting the impenitent. How
should they account for it? True, He
has graciously said, ASK, and it shall
he given you !" but they have not
been asking in way that authorized
them to expect such a blessing. But
some one has been praying, if no
more, was the reply. And so it was.
1t was ascertained that one humble
woman had spent whole night in
prayer for the very revival that God
was then giving them. How precious
her reward! And have we none
among us at this day to feel enough for
the impenitent, enough for the glory
of God, to spend all night in prayer
One night? We have preaching, and
that which is good, and perhaps
enough in general of it, but what the
Church now seems to need especially
is praying Oh the part of the members.
May they become so burdened with
the worth of souls perishing in sin
that they cannot rest, by night or by
day, but as they cast their burdens up
on the Lord, then the windows OF
heaven will be opened, and blessings
abundant will be showered down up
on us.--Presbyteria,s Journal. s.u:

the Hanse Towns, and later Oh that of
! the Helvetic Union proved failures
from the same cause. Henry Tvs
scheme, Able st. Pierre's efforts,
Rousseau's, Kant's, and Bentham's
noble endeavors to solve this problem,
)20r erccNcncc, of international law all
proved failures also from the same
cause. They failed chiefly because
they aimed at the tinality of nations
and the equality Of States, and be-
cause, in aiming ut this, they violated
the laws OF nature, which are un-
changeable. They did not succeed,
moreover, because, under the old dis
pensation Of diplomacy, the will OF the
nation represented was little thought
of at all. The nations formerly rarely
heard of international transactions un-
til their faith had been plighted, and
until it was almost next to impossible
to get them out of the difficulties into
which their representatives had drawn
them. All this is now changed.
Even the Russian monarch does not
now carry the national will in his
rocket. In our own country i'll the
present day every act Of the executive
is watched by a ubiquitous press. In
tcrnatiOnal legislation, then, in our
day, must be the immediate result OF
the will OF the nations represented.
We have now endeavored to give
short and brief epitome of Professor
Lorimer's views Oh this all-iuportant
question. The space a. our disposal
has necessarily rendered our sketch OF
this great work very imperfect. We
would therefore ask such of our read
crs who have the time and leisure to
procure the work itself 1t will well
repay their most earnest thought and
study, both on account of its ardent
SYMPATHY with the cause of Peace,
and also on account of its outspoken
and manly criticism Of the mistakes
which the Professor conccivcs that the
friends of peace generally have fallen
into. Z. u.

"Besetting Sins.0

Very few persons, if any, are given
to all kinds of sins. Each sinner has
some particular way of sinring-a sin
that besets him. What is yours?
Is it an unforgivlng spirit? Some
one you secretly hate.
Is it an avaricious spirit? A har-
rowing lust for gold.
Is it a licentious spirit? A corrupt
ng lust of the flesh.
Is it a worldly spirit? A love of the
world and it's pleasures.
Is it an ambitious spirit? An inor-
dinate love of fame.
Is it a vain spirit? An undue love
of admiration and applause.
Is it discontented spirit? Dissatis-
fed with your lot in life.
Is it a deceitful spirit? Lips that
speak fattering lies.
Is it proud spirit? A love of vain
and empty show.
Is it an envious spirit? That builds
on the ruins Of another.
Is it a contentious spirit? Striving
for simple victory, regardless OF truth.
Is it an Indifferent spirit? Prayer
less ard neglectful of your soul.
Is it a faithless spirit? Untrue to
the moral and sacred relations of life.
Is it man-fearing spirit? Dread OF
the worlds opinions.
Is it dishonest spirit? Dealing un-
fairly with men.
Is it an uncharitable spirit? Max
ing no allowance for others.
Is it an irreverent spirit? Treating
sacred things with contempt.
Is it an unsubmissive spirit? Muir
muring at the wise dispensations of
providence.
Is it presumptive spirit? Shining
against light and knowledge. .
Is it a doubling spirit? A spirit OF
skepticism or unbelief.
Is it an egotisticel spirit? That

Decision,

a teacher in one of the large col
leges for women in the Eastern States
lately told little incident which may
be of use to some of our girl-friends.
At recreation hour on one Sunday eve
ming, a large number of girls had as
sembled in the parlor. They began to
talk and laugh, quietly at first; then
the conversation ran into gossip, and
the laughter grew more boisterous and
frivolous.
II felt" said the teacher, "that the
effect of the calm of the day, and of its
solemn services, was being wholly de-
stroyed. 1t was not the way in which
girls who professed to serve Christ
should spend his day, if they hoped to
come closer to him; but there was no
actual infraction of school laws, and I
had not the courage to interfere.
"At last, very young girl, a men,
Der of the lowest class, came in. She
glanced around, with startled, pain
ed look then, after q moments hesita-
ton, she walked to the piano, and be-
gan to touch the keys softly. AS the
music stole through the air, the noise
was hushed.
why not have little singing"
she said to those nearest her, and struck
the first cords of Lead, Kindly Light
I'm few moments every voice had
joined in the hymn so dear to us all.
The girls are fond of sacred music.
One hymn after another was sung
with fervent feeling, until ut last they
separated for the night. Not one of
them guessed how firmly and gently
they had been led by child into the
right path"
The story recalls similar anecdote
of member of the New York Ex-
change, who was present at confer
ence between half-a-dozen men who
controlled the market. A certain &C.
ton was proposed which would prove
of enormous advantage to themselves,
but which would result in bankruptcy
and misery to great many people who
were not informed of this plan Of the
leading speculators.
The gentleman who had just Joined
the conference looked about him and
saw in every face an inner conscious
ness of wrong-doing. Then he said,
with smile, at would be advisable,
Of course, if it were right. But it Is
not honest"
Not single man had the courage to
insist upon carrying out the project.
The time will come to every reader
of these lines whel, by q firm word
gently spoken, he can lead his fellows
into the path of right.
If it should seem impossible for him
to speak to them, if the heart fails and
the voice chokes, let him remember
that the words he would utter are al.
ready spoken in the conscience of
every one present. In all probability
each one is waiting, hopeful to hear the
call to do right, but without the cour-
age to speak it.
He will only give voice to their bet,
ter natures if he utters the word in
season.-- Youths Companion.

must testify from experience that q
temper of peace, thankfulness, love
and affection is much more the proper
frame for prayer than that Of terror
and discomposure; and that under the
dread of mischief impending man is
no more fit for a comforting perform
ance of the duty of praying to God
than he is for repentance on a sick
bed, for these discomposures affect the
mind as the others do the body, and
the discomposure Of the mind must
necessarily be as great disability as
that of the body, and much greater
prayer to God being properly an act of
the mind, not of the body.
