THE LOVE OF MONEY.
REV THOMAS Dxows SECOND SER
MON ON MONEY AND CHRISTIANITY.

1t Is Not Money. but the Undue Love of 1t,
which + the Great EviI-Heartless Prov
esbs of Hard Hearted Money Seekers.
Murders In Trade.
CAPE CHARLES, Va, July 9.-Rev.
Thomas Dixon. Jr., preached on Cobb's
island today the second sermon in the
Geries on the question of money and its
relation to the gospel of Christ. The
proprietors Of the hotel on the island
have arranged schedule of three boats
un Sundays to convey the people from
/ The mainland to the island to attend the
services The text chosen for the dis
Iourse today was the proverb. ''He that
iath an evil eye hasteth after riches" the
specific subject being the "Money Ma
Tia.
II is not sin to be rich if our riches
are righteously obtained. And yet
thousand dangers beset the man who
sets out with the determination to be
rich. 1t is easier for camel to go
through the eye of a needle than for a
rich man to enter the kingdom of heav-
en-. He is almost sure TO reach the crisis
IN his experience when he will say,
Soul, take thine ease; | have much
goods laid up for thee in store, and enter
upon downward course from that mo-
ment. The determination to get rich at
all hazards may be termed modern dis
Ease. II is money mania. 1t is the evil
eye Of the closing days of this century
Il has thrown its spell over millions. II
is a disease which sweeps before it the
whole nature of man, that lays waste
not only the fairest hearts and what
might be the fairest homes, but that lays
waste what might be the gardens Of the
nations 1t is this modern disease of the
evil eye Of haste for riches that is one of
the most whitening curses of our age.
First-It denies and abrogates the par
amount law of industry. In the sweat
Of mans brow shall he eat bread, de-
lreed the eternal God, echoed the eternal
nature. And yet men in modern times
have said that they will do nothing Of
the sort. They will eat bread without
labor. They will eat bread by trick, by
chicanery. by overreaching. by swim
ding, by cheating, by humbug. This
Of the paramount law of in
dustry brings us face to face with the
millions in the industrial
world, with the countless thousands and
hundreds of thousands who cry for
bread who are caught in the vicious un-
dertow of this angry sea of human ava
rice and are dragged to the bottom of the
deepest sea of human misery. In the
mildest developments of this mania it is
simply gambling, and its necessary cor
ollaries are hard times, panics and the
periodical disturbances of the industrial
world which result in thousands of
wrecks.

BOTH FOUND DEAD.-A weird dis
covery was made yesterday in the resi-
dence of Edward Knaub, on the high
way leading from Dallastown to Col
linsville, Pa. Knaub was an aged farm
er and he and wife lived there alone
Their neighbors for some days had
seen no signs of life about the place
and it was decided to make an inves
tigation.
A party was formed and set out fol-
the house yesterday morning. Aknock
at the door brought no welcoming re.
Spouse. 1t was pushed open and the
men entered. In the little kitchen sat
the venerable wife her head resting
against the back of an old armchair
They spoke to her, but receiving nc
answer they went closer. She was
dead.
The other rooms were visited. In
the little chamber on the first floor,
stretched upon the bed, lay Knaub
He was breathing feebly and was I'M
conscious. An effort was made to re.
vive him. The house was made warm
er by fire, as there had not been fire
evidently, for several days. These eff
forts were fruitless and in little while
after he had been discovered the aged
man expired.
There was no evidence of any vio-
lence and it seems likely that the old
couple were too feeble to combat the
winter and died from cold, hunger and
exhaustion.

At Paterson, N. j., Wednesday
night Mrs. Michael Merino caught
her husband at the corner of
Main street and Broadway talk
ing to woman to whom she heard that
her husband was very attentive. Mrs.
Merino was dressed in mems clothes
and carried club under her coat
Mike was TRANQUILITY conversing when
his wife approached and with scream
of delight laid the stick to his head.
The female fled in alarm at the first
blow.
A hundred witnesses gathered in
twinkling of an eye, and looked on APP
provingly at what they thought was q
little man getting the best of big man.
After breaking his nose and decorating
his face so that it was streaked with
blood, Mrs. Merino left her husband
standing in the centre of the crowd.
Mrs. Merino was arrested charged
with assault and battery. Her father
secured her release from custody. She
is extremely pretty and only 10 years
of age. She married Merino a year

CoNGREss.--Iu the U. S. Senate yes
terday evening a bill to annex the ter
ritory of Utah to the State of Nevada
was introduced by Mr.. Proctor, and re-
ferred to the committee on territories.
A communication from the Secretary
of State was presented, in response to
Mr.. Frve's resolution of Monday last,
stating that no permission, conditional
or unconditional, had been given by
the Secretary of State to land the Bra
lillian cable on the coast of the United
States, and that he knew of no act of
Congress which would allow him or
any executive officer to give such per
mission. Mr.. Frye gave notice of bis
intention to discuss the matter after the
Senate meets again.
In the House when an effort was
made to go into committee of the

that Oklahoma be tackled on, the two

discussion which eliminated in n
deadlock on the question.
Both houses adjourned till Wednes-

FRIDAY EVENING. DEC. %, 1893.

DURING THE recent strike on the
Lehigh Railroad some of the women
friends Of the strikers soaped the
tracks. One of them subsequently in
formed upon another, and yesterday
the two fought a prize fight, in the pres
ence of a ring OF applauding witnesses,
to settle their difference, the result be-
being that one was almost killed ana
the other so disfgured that her husband
could hardly recognize her. All this
occurred in the highly civilized north
ern republican State of Pennsylvania,
the republican papers of which State
say the fact that southern democratic
State will allow TWO professional attn
letes to engage in prize fight on her
territory, is Indicative of q low grade OF
civilization in that State. But geo.
graphical position alters cases TO repuo-
lican politicians.

AS ANTICIPATED, the administration
has discovered that it was not sure it
was right before it went ahead, in the
Stanton affair, and was entirely too
precipitate, and thereby did one OF its
officers great injustice. Having made
this discovery, there was nothing else
Tor it to do but to undo the wrong as
speedily as possible, and therefore the
Commodore, who was deposed for doing
only what every other naval command
er at Rio Jeneiro had previously done,
has been promoted.

Whisky Men Object,

LOUISVILLE, Dec. 22.-That portion
Of Secretary Carlisle's report which
suggests methods of increasing internal
revenue for the fiscal year of 1895, is
considered unjust by the whisky men
of Kentucky. They claim that the
government should not impose an ad-
ditional tax on whisky already made,
and to increase the tax, the distillers
say, would mean loss for which they
could not prepare and of which they
had no warning.

FINANCES IN CoNGREss.-The rec
ommendation of Secretary Carlisle that
he be given authority to issue bonds to
the amount of 5000, 100000 will be
formulated into bill upon the re-as-
sembling of Congress after the Christ
mas holidays. Members of Congress
who favor bond issue are so sure that
the bill containing the recommendation
of the Secretary of the Treasury will
become law that they have determ-
ined that the proposed bonds shall bear
per cent. interest and be redeemable
not later than the year 1900. The Pres
ident and members Of his cabinet are
of the opinion that under the present
law the Secretary of the Treasury has
no authority to issue bonds. Republic
cans in Congress will support the bond
issue bill, with the hope of making po-
litical capital by charging the demo
cratic administration with increase Of
the national debt. 1t is expected the
advocates of State banks will oppose
the bond issue bill on the ground that
it will increase the circulation and pow
er of national banks.

A LARGE cotton factory in Montreal
has suspended operations for the pres
cnt. But as the Wilson tariff bill will
not be operative in Canada, the sus-
pension referred to can not possibly be
attributed to that bill, as, for no better
reason, the closing of some of the cotton
mills on this side of the border have
been. Thesuspension of the Canadian
mills and that of similar mills
in this country is due to over produc-
ton and to the prevailing depression OF
business, and the proposed taritfbill had
no more to do with that of either than
with the suspension of the Ivy Hill
races.

CINCINNATI, o., Dec. 22.-Judge
Moore, of the Superior Court, handed
down yesterday a decision which the
attorneys assert is the finest of its kind
in Ohio. The Manhattan bank, OF
New York, sued in garnishment in this
State against the Pennsylvania Steel
Company and the Maryland Steel
Company and attached $4,000 in the
possession of railroad and street rail-
road companies. Judge Moore sus-
tanned the punishment and overruled
the motion to dismiss, holding that
the plaintiff, which is not located with
in the same jurisdiction as the receiv
ers, did not transgress their rights in
this proceeding.

JUST AS was expected, the republi-
cans have availed themselves of the
opportunity afforded by the proposed
new tariff bill, to expose in glaring
light the manifest objections to that
bill, and to ridicule the democrats for
preparing bill even more protective to

Mckinley bill, inasmuch as while it
puts the coal and iron and lumber o!
Virginia on the free list, it retains a
high tariff tax on the articles made o.

DEATH OF Mr.. kANKEY.-The ALIEN
ANDRIA GAZETTE of Wednesday no.
tices the death of Zeb Kankey, but fail
ed to say that his father nor him had
ever missed reading a copy OF that jour-
nal since the issue of its first number.
Mr.. Kankey and his father before
him lived at Neabsco, and it was IA
nous place 95 or 100 years ago. 1t was
the stopping place of the stages long be,
fore the days of the railroads and had a
national reputation such as was pos
sessed but by few places on the great
thoroughfare between the South and
North. 1t was originally an old Indian
trail, and in its murky shadows before
America was discovered the red men OF
different tribes stalked in their visits to
each other.
1t was treat in those later days be-
fore Zeb Kankey moved to Washing
ton when old age and bodily infrmities
drove him to get the consent of old
gentlemen to stopping over night, and
when after a hot supper with pipes
alight Zeb would open the book OF
memory anu Itll Vi Olu llueS Ou lue
Neabsco; of the days when eight or ten
stages day passed his fathers door,
laden as they were with the brains of
the young republic.
These occurrences took place at the opening
and adjournment of Congress, and Mr.. Kan
keys eyes would glisten as he told of Ram
dolph, of Roanoke, who, however, always
i.aveled in his own coach with outriders or
Henry Clay and other distinguished southern
statesmen, how they looked and what they
said His mind was regular storehouse for
the traditions of the past and in those men,
cries he lived.
We know of no one left that will take up
the history of the old road and its recollections
Just where Zeb Kankey laid it down, and
those who knew him in his home on the
Neabsco will have mournful thoughts at the
removal of so prominent landmark of the
past.
He outlived for many years all those of
whom he loved to tell and the writer hopes
that his end was peaceful and painless.
May you rest in peace, sage of the Ncabsco !!
