invested there amounts to as much as the
remaining portion of the state would sell
for at auction. The state is TOO small and
insignificant to be of much service politi-
caly, barring the two United States sena-
torships, which can be secured by them
when wanted, presume. And the great
expectant public is wondering how Mr..
Flagler is going to get his millions out of
the reeking swamps and everglades. How
ever, that is his own business. Although
resident Of New York city, Mr.. Fiagler
has never taken any interest in metropoli-
tan affairs, and l do not know that he has
associated himself with single movement
here except that which pertains to the
furtherance of the great Standard Oil mo-
nopoly.
DIR. PARKHURST GETS A RISE.
DR.. Charles II Parkhurst, pastor of the
Madison Square Presbyterian church,
preached a good many years in this town
without people finding it out. He saw the
Rev. Tom Dixon and DR.. Peters, like q
couple Of young Lochinvars, come out of
the weston maybe it was the southland
lift themselves amid the stars by their own
Wristbands, while he, the scholarly and re-
fined Parkhurst, pounded his Presbyterian
pulpit in vain. The trumpet tongue of
fame took up none of his learned sermons,
and he preached and passed the plate with
scarcely Indifferent success. Then he con-
/ cluded to out Dixon Dixon, and, 10 ne is at
once the most talked-of preacher in town.
In single morning he has achieved what
Talmage has struggled years to gain. DIR.
Parkhurst simply forged thunderbolt and
hurled it into the ''quivering vitals'' of the
Tammany tiger. As result of this, the
beast, like error, writhes in pain and also
| threatens TO die amid it's worshippers. Al
the same time, DR.. Parkhurst is not very
well himself, and doubtless wishes he had
made use of language more becoming to his
cloth. He has gained nothing and proved
nothing by shouting from the pulpit that
the city authorities are Lying, perjured
rum-soaKed, lioldinous lot" that they are
polluted harpies, who, under pretense OF
governing the city, are feeding day ano
night on its qu1verng vltals."
DR.. Parkhurst uttered many other gems
of thought, including a reference to 8
''criminality that is hlthifying our entire
municipal life." In this and other instances
the DOCTORS vehem snce forced him outside
the dictionary to find words to express the
feelings that surs ed for utterance 1t i:
not often that minister succeeds in 81
thoroughly tearing passion to tatters il
every respect, and, OF course the doctor i,
the reigniug sensation. Caliph, the bis
hippopotamus in the Central park mena
gerie, has had the stomachache, and it re-
quired the united efforts of twelve stall ar
formidable as baseball. And yet, through
all this excitement, Or. Parkhurst hal
steadily held the public eye. STILL l ma,
as we'll state that there is fixed and ston7
glare about it which makes the docto
slightly uncomfortable.
