Search for the Treasure His Mother Hid.

ONEoNTA. N. Y. April 10.-Mrs. Esther Grass
per of tho neighboring hamlet of Warnervile
died in January of the grip. aged 1O1 years.
She had lived on tho farm where she died for
more than sixty years. in company with her
son. David, and her daughter. Harriet. The
three were notably industrious and parsimo-
NOUS. and were supposed to have saved cons
siderable money. The mother SO long as she
lived kept the family cash under her special
charge. with tho full approval Of the son and
daughter. A few days ago the daughter
died. leaving David. now m old man.
tho solo survivor Of tho family.
He knew nothing Of tho whereabouts
Of the ilytrcasures. except that his mother,
who was distrustfu OF banks and afraid Of
burglars. was accustomed 70 secrete it in out
of-the- way and obscure hiding places around
tho house or outbuildings.
Friends volunteered to assist old David in
searching for the missing treasure. The quest
has already been rewarded by finding $1,000
in greenhacks hidden away behind an old cor:
ner cupboard in tho family sitting room. and
500 in gold and 5000 in silver slowed away in
q hole in the cellar wall. 1t is not doubted that
further search will reveal other hidden boards.

THE CLERGY AND SOCIIL MOHiLs.
Or. Rylnnce Says that the Pulpit Isn't
Quite the Power that the ldcalists Fancy.

| Quite the Power that the IdcaIist~ Fancy
The Rev. DR.. Charles H. Parkhurst's recent
| visit to and entertainment in Hattie Adams s

Joseph II. Nylance of st. Marks Protestant

vcsant street. delivered yesterday morning
:" Tho Clergy and Social Morals was his sub.
jcct, and he took occasion in his discourse to
not only adversely crticiso DR.. Parkhurst's
methods OF social reform. but also to express
his dissent from tho position Of tho .dcaists

lennium ut bound He incidentally took o,-
casion to state it as his opinion that it is not
necessary to investigate MS to tho source Of
money given to churches or charity. like Jay
Gould's recent gift Of $4,000.
Tho appropriateness Of DR.. Ryances seoc-
ton OF yesterday to deliver his address on
social reform was apparent as soon as the
worshippers at st. Marks opened thor prayer
books to the psalms for tho day. The Gficth
psalm was the first Of these. Its seventeenth
and eighteenth verses read rs follows:
Whereas thou haes to be reformed and hast cast my
wordE behind thee.
When thou sawest thief thou consenteis, unto him:
and hast been partakcr with the adul,ercss.
Dr. Rylance took for his text tho seventeenth
verse of the third chapter Of Ezekiel:
Son OF man. have made thee n wnicliman unto the
house of Israel: therefore hear the word Of ny mouth
ana give them warning from mo.
His reference to his fellow preachers mid
night visit to tho Adams bro.hel was preceded
by an attack on radical reformcrs- the fanatics
