povEnTY AND RICHES.
Ap Interesting and Eloquent sermon by
Roy. Or. Hutchinson.

AZ AhNHANakAhk AAA ANANANNNN NNN~-~~ -
Rov. Or. Hutchinson.
President B. W. Hutchinson, OF the
West Virginia conference seminary at
BuckhaHRon, preached yesterday morn
ing and evening at the NJ. E. church.
Both sermons were listened to by large
congregations. The text in the evening
was, "Riches are not the best Of life"
The subject as outlined by Rev. DR..
Hutchinson proved to be an interesting
one. He commented on the tinge OF
envy that. enters the heart OF tho poor
man, when he sees man no better In
any way, but possessed oil more OF this
worlds goods. Following, he said that
one OF the greatest dangers in life to-
day, Is the effort OF men and women IN
only moderate or poor circumstances to
mako as good an appearance as their
more wealthy Reighbors, recklessness
that leads in many cases to crime. He
claimed that the well-to-do man is not
such much.to-be.envied individual as
a great many people think; u is an OK:
ception to the rule to sec an individual
Of great wealth who keeps himself right
before God.
Honest toll is no disgrace, and tits
the nations Of toiIers which produce
the worlds great thinkers, inventors
and leaders in life's work. In support
Of this position, the idleness and dense
ignorance OF the peoples Of the tropical
countries was contrasted withthe intel.
ligence and industry OF the peoples OF
the temperate regions. The Puritans
OF New England are an example.
Some people build in life too well,
forgetting that life on earth is but
breathing spell at the best. Speaking
OF the empty social life OF the period,
DR.. Hutchinson said 1t is responsible
for much misery. Society, so called,
spelled with u capital s, demands Ger.
tain amount OF wealth, standard OF
dress and a finely furnished house; it
is the cause Of great number Of people
going beyond their means, and involves
the surrender Of personality and indie
pendence. It's not an ideal picture,
but one that Is seen every day. The
danger Of the day is to fall in with
social standards, but the only standard
on which TO stand is the standard Of
God aud His word.

Spectators and speoulating Banker

Spectators and Specializing Bankers
Since the beginning Of the present
month Wall street has had q hole
knocked in it, some operators have gone
TO the wall, and in the west sundry
banks have gone by the board, The
Wall street casualties have not hurt
the general business OF the country nor
impaired the stability Of banks doing u
legitimate business on banking princi-
pies.
On the contrary general business is in
better condition since many millions of
water have becn wrung out OF the &C.
curlties which gave Wall street its
nightmare. There is no stringency in
New York or in any other money cen.
tire growing out Of these occurrences to
cause alarm. That which was solid be-
fore is solid now. The silver question
continues to disturb, but that is an
otherstorY
The breaking OF one bank after an.
other in Illinois. Michigan, Indiana and
Ohio would be viewed with great alarm
il it wore not known that 1t is really
one wildcat bank with many branches
that has reached its logical climax. 1t
was row Of bricks set on end-the 6rst
fell and the others went with it
Some Chicago bucket-shop operators
needed bank to give them respectable
backing. They organized bank them
selves, and one Dwiggins, who seemed
to have had a touch of the Napoleon Of
Finance" in his makeup, was put at
the head. This was the origin Of the
Columbia Bank. Then an ambition
was developed to have "a string Of
banks" and country banks to the MIN.
Der OF elghty-hve were organized in IL
liaois, Michigan, Indiana and Ohio.
The parent bank seems to have SCI
cured stock as compensation Tor organ
izing these branches, and this stock was
made the basis OF debenture bonds.
Then there was need OF trust com.
pany to guarantee these bonds, and
forthwith the same men organized a
trust company. More failures may be
looked for on the same "slring" until
all the branches have gone with the
trunk. Virtually it will be the failure
OF one bank Of tho wildcat variety, not
Of eighty-ave banks.
Banks bottomed on solid foundation,
conducted on conservative business
principles, as those OF Wheeling, for
example, are as strong and as safe to.
day as ever they were. The fact is that
passing breezes do not disconcert the
banks OF Wheeling, They have even
stood unmoved while the hurricane
roared about them.

1t awful to think Of sitting down to din
Rsr with q reporser2 Turn on the hose
snndny Id the Fnir.

Acting on the advice Of counsel the
directory representing the local,
money.raising corporation, decides that
beginning with next Sunday the
Worlds Fair gates shall be opened. 1t
is argued that the closing stipulation
with which Congress accompanied its
contribution Of souvenir coins relates
to the exhibition only and that the
grounds are no part of the exposition
proper. Hence it is competent for the
management to open the gates, keep
ing the buildings closed, and this
course will not violate the letter or the
spirit OF the act of Congress,
The commission, representing the
national government has other views,
1t holds that the exhibition begins
where tho admission money is de-
manded and includes all Jackson Park
and tho Midway Plaisanco. Therefore
1t argues that the act OF Congress re-
quiring the exhibition to DO closed on
Sundays begins to operate ut the gates
and applies to the grounds as well as to
ths buildings, The commission holds
more than this. 1t holds, until it shall
be overruled by higher authority, the
key to the situation. The gate men and
guards are under its control Tho com.
mission resents the action Of the d.
rectory az impertinont and says the
gates shall not be opened on Sunday,
Many OF the commissioners are in favor
of Sunday opening, but they are not in
favor OF the directory running the fair,
In addition to this conflict OF author
ity is the proceeding begun ut law
by a stakeholder to compel the opening
Of the gates on Sunday, on the ground
that Congress had no right to interfere
in tho matter and specifically that it
cannot close public park Of Chicago
at all.
Its impossible to foretell the out
come of this csOss-lEe, but appearances
indicate that the advocates OF Sunday
opening will mako a determined effort
to force the gates on Sunday,
