public meeting was held. Occupying seats
on the stage were the ladies of the auxiliary.

stay here. Grand Chief Arthur spoke at
considerable length. explaining the object
and aims of the organization. He said 1t in
cluded 10000 members, all industrious men.
Since its organization it has bestowed more
than $4,000 900 TO members or their families.
He assigned as reason for the non-amalgs-
nation of the Brotherhood with other labor
organizatins that the Brotherhood believes
in attending to its own affairs.
United States Senator Gallinger, after pay
ing handsome tribute to the Locomotive
Engineers, said he had always been be-

Another Shortage of Quarter of a
million Discovered.

PHILADEL PHIA, June 2O.-In replying to-
day to the demand of Attorney General Hen
sci that the city pay to the state 100000 col
lected by ex-City Treasurer Bardsley, City
Comptroller Thompson said that the city
cannot recognize the claim of the state as
Bardsley was the states fiscal agent. In
conclusion the city comptroller significantly
saws that other discrepancies have been dis
covered for which the state Is liable TO the
city. 1t is learned tonight that the other
discrepancies to which he referred are another
Bardsley. Up to 1889, the state I paid % the cty IN
per cent. for collecting personal taxes. In
1889, the personal taxes collected Amounted
to $500, 600 and 1000 for collecting it was
paid to Bardsley as city treasurer for the
benefit of the city. This $4,000 Bardsley
never made any return OF and it probably
embezzled by him. In 1890, law went into
effect by which the city became entitled to
one-third of the personal taxes collected.
For that year the taxes collected amounted
to $777, 900, aud of this amount the city has
received, as its share OF one-third, $4,000.
leaving balance still due Of 100000. This
$4,000 was in Bardsley's hands and has
been used in some way by him. There Is
still another item of $4,000 due the state
from the city as interest on loans collected
This sum was also made away with by Bards-
ley. making the gross total including S455, 600
embezzled from the school fund, $669.000
stolen from state funds by the fsithless city
treasurer. This matter promises to be. fruit
full of much litigation between the city and
states each claiming that the other Is resp0n-
sible for 1t. Ii is also learned that the books
Of the Keystone bank do not show what has
become of the $1,000,000 Bardsley had de-

LIVE TO DO GOOD.
President Cheney's Counsel 10 the
Graduates of Bates College,

Graduates of Bates College.
LEWISTON, June 2l,-At the Free Baptist
church today. President Cheney of Bates
College delivered the baccalaureate sermon.
His text was 40 do good, forget not. -
Heb. xiii :16.
After discussing briefly the question, is it
necessary for person to be good In order to
do good, President Cheney quoted from DR..
Bartol in the Forum and Earl of SALISBURY
9TH, upon the topics Of mans duty to the
world, to himself and to the world and him
self Interchangeable.
Following out this line of thought, the
speaker said: "We must not forget to do
good because we are in the end to be judged
according to what we do" The Bible is the
A fearful responsibility rests upon those
men who set aside the Bible and substitute
for 1t reason and conscience. This college
rests upon foundation of which Christ
the historic Christ of the Bible--is the chief
cornerstone. Let 1t remain on that founda-
dation. Let 1t never betray the sacred trust
II holds. ~ have given this college," said the
and yet l say that it had been good for the
world If this college had never
had its being if the foundation on which it
now stands is to be torn away, and one Of
other materials be substituted. Perish the
thought that any such change awaits us in
the future. The mission of this college in
doing good in the way Jesus did good, can
not fail, for God will take care of that which
His own hand has planted"
In closing. President Cheney said to the
students: "You must live for something
You will live for something. Let 1t not be,
l pray you. simply for some earthly gain, for
pleasure, for money, for honor. Rather live
for that for which numbers which
no man can number, subject to
like powers as ourselves have lived.
Live to do good; forget other
things, but forget not to do good and you
will not have lived in vain. You cannot
begin this holy-dOing too soon. l trust you
have begun it. If so, go on as you have be-
gun, lest you have something to regret at the
close of life"

GIVING THEIR JEWELS TO THE CHURCH.
a Methods cIergyman's Crusade
Against Personal Adornment.
His Followers Have Willingly Given
Their Watches and Gene,
But Their Dlsposlt on Has Raised a
PerpIexIng Question.

ST.. LOUIS, Mo, June 2O.-Dlsposing of
the jewels given up by the members Of Gen.
tennary church at the request of b. Corro-
dine, the pastor. has begun. and has pro-
duced peculiar state Of affairs. DIR. Caro-
dine says it is against the teachings Of the
Methodist church to wear golden ornaments.
At meeting recently, he called upon his
people to give up their costly watches, rings,
breastpins. Sc , to be sold and the proceeds
to be given to the poor. The call met with a
generous response, and jewelry of all kinds
was given up.
The question Of dlsposing Of 1t. however,
presented some complicated features. The
articles Of jswelry cannot be sold In their
ing some one else, which would be sin. All
| the use, therefore, that can be made OF the
| jewelry Is to melt 1t down and sell it for old
| gold. BY this means, however, but small
| fraction OF the original cost can be realized
Here Is an Illustration OF the shrinkage In
values. Mr.. Torrance, connected with the st.
Louis Christian Advocate, the organ of the
Southern Methodist church In st. Louis, to
which branch DR.. Carrodine belongs, among
other jewelry had pair OF cuff buttons made
of two five dollar gold pieces. The work
manship on the buttons represented at least
80 per cent Of their value, making at least
SIS. He. however, could only get So 80 for
them. He made the sacrifice and gave up
his buttons, and now wears two five cents
dozen cuff buttons In his shirt sleeves.
Here is another instance. gentleman
gave up gold watch which cost $50 or S175.
The works are useless because they cannot
be sold for the purpose Of being used In
another watch. 1t being against the spirit Of
the church to wear watches. The works of
a watch for second hand metal are compare
lively valueless. All that can be realized on
the watch Is on the case, which, melted
down, will not net more than perhaps $40 or
500
A hundred other instances could be cited.
DIR. Carradine said this evening: ut Is
against the teachings Of the Methodist
church to wear gold ornaments, but the
Methodlsts got rich and commenced weari ng
them, and when began to preach about it
1t was like new doctrine. have been
called fanatic, but am only preaching the
teachings of the church. l have turned over
all that has been given me to the Rev. DIR.
stephan to assist In building his church in
South st. Louis l intend to take up the
matter in my sermons again soon."

The International Steamship Co.

To the Editor Of the Press:
Lest communication which recently ap-
peared in your columns should mislead our
public, permit me to say that that the sum-
mer arrangement Of the International Steam
ship Company which begins today, was un-
animously decided upon by the board of d.
directors Of the company after careful con-
sideration at several Of the previous monthly
board meetings. A majority of the directors
Of the company are gentlemen having large
interests in our community and who have
been closely identified with the progress of
our city, and it would be far from the ideas
of any of them to advocate a policy tending
to injure the welfare of the city of Port
land.
The serious competition which this COM
pany has to meet the present season from
three steamboat lines, has compelled 1t to
perform daily service, Sundays excepted, to
and from the ports of Eastport and StJohn,
four trips each week being in connection
with Boston and two in connection with
| Portland. This arrangement compels each
OF the three steamers in commission TO make
| two round trips during each week, and on
account Of the longer dis .ance to be run be-
tween Boston and the east and the heavier
and faster boats have been assigned to that
service, leaving the steamer New Brunswick
to attend to the Portland connection.
Iaklng into consideration the fact that
| only ABOUT 0ne-tweltth Of the aggregate bus
iness Of the company has been transacted
with Portland, and that until quite recently
this city has had the same facilities offered
1t as that OF Boston, 1t is not easy to recog-
nlze just cause for complaint.
While the New Brunswick is not as fast
as the other steamers of the line, on account
| of the difference in distance that is to be
run, she Will be due at Eastport or ST. John
or at Portland on her return at an earlier
| hour than the steamers upon the other
branch of the service will reach either port.
| The New Brunswick will arrive at Portland
| in the morning and lie at her wharf during
| each of her sailing days, thereby atfOrding
advantages in the way of freightlng busi-
| ness, and as Portland is to have a ste amer Of
\ its own, there will be no cause on sailing
days Of freight being left over. The New
| Brunswick Is staunch, has nearly new
boiler, and at the time Of her inspection on
| Saturday last, our steamboat inspectors
| spoke In high terms of the sea-wOrthy condi-
tion Of the steamer, as well as the goodly ap-
| peaTance of everything on board. She has
| been re-painted throughout, IT -1arpeted and
thoroughly Overhauled, and 1t Will only be
necessary to pay visit to Railroad wharf in
order to learn that the interests OF Portland
In connection with this line are not being
| overlooked.
So far as the seaworthiness of the New
Brunswick Is concerned, no more reliable

PARTING PRECEpTS FOR COLLEGE MEN.
HaccaIaureate Sermons Before the

President Hyde on the Relations of
Scholarship and Religion.
State College Students Urged to
Study Questions of the Day.

BRUNSWICK, June commencement
week at Bowdoin College began this after
noon with the baccalaureate sermon by
President Hyde, who spoke as follows:
My subject is the relationship between
scholarship, and Christianity. Conceited
pedants and laundering ecclesiastics have al
ways been mischievously busy in getting up
conflicts between the two.
In one age it was about the motions of the
heavenly bodies ; in another 1t was the age
and structure of the earth. A generation ago
oil man. Today is the question whether
certain books Of the Bible are miraculous
ly produced, miraculously preserved, mirac-
ulously attested account of events in great
measure contemporaneous with the compost
tion of the writings; or are the product of a
later age in which the spiritual tendencies of
preceding generations, and the spiritual in
sights of living leaders are given pseudo
historical setting, with perfect Integrity of
purpose, and with all devoutness of intent,
and in accord with well recognized ancient
and oriental custom, In order to clothe them
with greater practical impressiveness. This
question, like those which have gone before
Is one for scholarship to settle by its own
methods, without the interference of the
courts, civil or ecclesiastical; and without
the intimidation of mobs, clerical or lay. 1t
is high time to have the boundaries between
scholarship and Christianity clearly defined !;
SO that professors and preachers may each
know their proper place and mind their own
business.
Scholarship and Christianity move on diff
ferent planes, and deal with different aspects
Of the world. They may not always coin
eide, but they never can conflict. A mans
standing as scholar does not depend on the
form of worship he prefers or the length of
creed that he rectes. Nor does mans
standing as Christian depend on his views
about the authorship of Genesis and He-
brews; the date of composition of Penta-
teueh and the Petrine Epistles, or the his
torcal character of such books as Jonah
and Daniel
Settle questions of scholarship by scholar
ly methods, and brook no interference with
your scholarly pursuits. Speak all your
words, do all your deeds, fulfill all the rela-
tions of your life in the Christlike SPIRIT and
suffer no faint of selfshness or malice to de-
tract from the purity of your Christian
character.
That loyalty to the pursuit of truth, the
highest intellectual excellence, and devotion
to the life of love, the crowning Christian
grace, may be united in your minds and
hearts, and bring forth the fruits of integri-
ty and usefulness in your characters and
lives, is the last, best wish of the college for
Vnu all
