The Sermon,

From the writings of Theologicus, take my text;
 Woe unto him who scolds; tor he shnts out sunshine from many hearts.
 Scoldlng, my life working friends, is q bad habit. A habit, too, from which, as says the poet,
 "Comes only hot and bitter tears,
 And grieving hearts, and woeful tears" It Is an easy habit to fall into. You know how 1t Is yourself. Things do not go just right in business or at home or in the kitchen and you are very much vex- ed. Of course, you think you must lu- bricate the machinery with something. So you pour on a few biting words to see If that will not stop the squeaking. As we'll put out fire with kerosene oil. The trouble Is only increased, for now there Is double trouble. The trouble of the misfortune and the trouble from your words. And often the latter trouble be- comes the greater. The fathers of New England had very heroic treatment for a scold. They put the wager of an un- ruly tongue on the end of pole and then ducked her in cold water. Or they had the cleft stick in which to insert the un- ruly member until 1t was so swollen that 1t could no longer wag and then the of- fender was bIdden to depart and sin no more. If the example of the fathers was followed to-day, some of our lords of ere ation would not get a chance to talk for a while. And the patient wife and child ren would have, oh such a nice quiet time. suppose, my hearers, that scold- ing Is mark of selflshness. For in tEis way, man tries to relieve his feelings. But 1t is poor way to do 1t. It would be a great deal better to go out and try to kick your toes through your shoes against n stone fence. For then you would harm only the soles of your shoes and not the souls of men. believe Theologicus, who so often is among the clouds, speaks wise words for once in the text. It Is woe to him who scolds. He brings woes upon himself and upon those about him. So say to all:
 Don't-Don't scold,
 The tale is old
 And often told
 He true and bold,
 Hut don't yon scold.

 It Is surprising how few members are active in maintaining the services of the ordinary church. In a church of 100 members, 70 could be picked out whose death would not put Q check to any one department of the work.

CHICAGO, June 4.-TSpecial Telegram to
The BEE. THE Chicago-St. Paul lines the
eastern Minnesota and the $780," held n
conference to-day TO devise plan for over
coming the disastrous effect Of the Burling-
ton & Northern's reduction. The Burling
ton g. Northern said they had reduced the
rate to meet the ''Soo'' competition, which
they were compelled to meet Nine Of the
lake and rail lines were represented at the
meeting, but it was determined, If possible,
to effect compromise. The present all-rail
rates from New York to st. Paul are 81 20,
first class. The lake anu rail rates. via Chi
cago, are SO cents 1t was decided to offer
the lake and rail lines a rate of SlO1 and set
tie the difficulty. The proposition was ap-
parently made in sober earnest, and the
meeting adjourned until tomorrow to wait
the result Of telcgraphic communication with
the lake and rail lines, the Duluth lines and
the Manitoba.
A general freight agent said at the close of
the meeting: "There are about 100
chances in 80 that the offer will be refused.
l don't know Of any reason why the lake
and rail lines should voluntarily raise their
rates, when they have things their own way
now. The delay, however, will give us a
chance to figure on some other way out of
the difficulty"
Meantime the 40 per cent reduction in the
through rate is in effect on all the st. Paul
roads, and there is apparently nothing to
prevent its continuance until navigation
closes.

The friend referred to is supposed to be
Jim Connor, late first lieutenant of police
here. A cousin of his, Charles Connor, is
implicated. The latter is an ex-detective,
now proprietor of a saloon, suspected to he q
thieves fence.
The story is of thrilling interest and occu-
pies much space and attention. A detective,
calling himself Joe Ward, a friend Of
ID. II. Moffatt, came from New York
to see If he could run down
the 600 robbery of which Moffatt
was the victim On the way out he stopped at
Kansas City, cultivated Marshalls conf
dence and got the statement given above.
Marshall gave Ward letters of introduction
to the Connors, and the latter treated him as
one of the gang. A robbery Of a Rio Grande
express train was planned in detail, but was
given up on account of the suspicion that
they were being shadowed, and Marshall
then left
Marshall himself was here, stopping at the
Markham, for several days. He was to have
but q passive part in the robbery. Ward
was to participate. The two Connors went
to Montrose as their yaru OF the plan, but the
sickness of Ward interfered. second date
was set, but by that time the nerve of the
Connors failed them, and the project was
abandoned. Now the whole scheme has been
laid bare by the superintendent Of the ex-
press company. 1t was known that the old
police gang was tough, but that its members
were actually engaged in robbery no one be-
leved. 1t is now intimated that Jim Connors
knows all about the Moffatt robbery, al
though he disclaims any knowledge of it.
