PRESBYTERIAN MINISTER'S.
They Discuss Shakespeare and the
Industrial ARMY.

At the meeting of the Presbyterian
Ministerial Union in the mission room of
the Woman's Occidental Board yesterd ~
morning the vice-presdeDt, Rev. DR.. Ellis,
presided. and Rev. Hiram w. Cummings
of Los Angeles and Lincoln II. Caswell of
the University of Southern California
were introduced as visitors. Rev. John
Thompson, DID,, Of the California b BILE
Society was also present and addressed
the union on behalf of the Bible work.
Rev. FL. n. Bevier. one of the youngest
m inisters In the union, read a well-prp-
pared paper on "Shakespeare's iDdebtFd-
ness TO the Bible" which showed grea
familiarity with the writings If the great
bard and elected numerous expressions OF
admiration. By an examination of portions
of his plays, which close study and keen
discrimination had enabled him to do, he
showed how they were nodded by the Bible,
most of the language having evidently
been inspired by or actually quoted from
the sacred book. AS the result of his in
vestigation he concluded that without the
Bible Shakes peare would have been an
i'm mpossibility, and that he Is immortal
because he has woven into the warp and
woof of his writings the spirit and the
letter of divine truth.
In answer to the claim of some that be
was skeptic Mr.. Bevirr said II WAS evil
dent that he was believer IN imm ortality,
in supernatural beings, in future rewards
and punisbm ments and in the resurrection
With reference to the Objectionable portion
OF some of his plays he said that many of
their offensive features are such because
they aim to portray human nature as It is,
and before we can have an expurgated
Shakespeare we must have an expurgated
world.

appeared and. through their chairman, Mr.
Stoms, addressed the union in an appeal
for aid TO return to the East. from where

The Ii Po Tai Estate.

Judge Murphy gave judgment Yesterday
in favor of Henry Voorman against the
estate of DR.. Lii Po Tai for S2o.966 SO, with
10 per cent interest from June 13. 1893, and
Z per cent from the date of judgment.
The action was brought TO foreclose a
mortgage on some of tile Chinese d ctor's
property. AS the balance Is also covered
by mortgage. it will probably turn out
that the whole estate Is insolvenu.

morning. He found Elizabeth Waters.

and kicked her.
Wheaton summoned an ambulance

unable to properly examine her. She
may die some time to-day.

IS DODGE TO GET IT?

Paper-C Chasing a Specification for
Trimming Scows.

The refusal of Cleaning Com
missioner william s. Andrews yesterday
to receive and open bids for trimming
the city scows has caused considerable
dissatisfaction among the dozen or more
contractors who hoped to capture what
Is generally regarded as one of the rich
est prizes in the Department. Already
statements are being mad that the
Commissioners refusal was in the in
terest of one of his %henchmen, and that
the new specifications have been made
out so that only one individual can
possibly hope to bid for the work.
At present the work of trimming the
scows Is performed by Edmund Dodge,
who seems to have a remarkable in
f1uence In the Department. He has been
doing the work since the early part of
last Winter on an agreement from week
to week. He found scow trimming so
profitable that he was able to pay the
city 81, 800 a month for the privilege.
Dodge is the same man whose employ
ment of extra laborers for Commits

snowfall caused so much unpleasant

Of the other contractors protested. They
pointed out to the Commissioner that
the scow-trimming was worth much
more than the amount paid by Dodge,
and that, in fact. by the retention OF
the latter the city was losing from $500
to 81 200 per week.
Commissioner Andrews put the matter

over a score of bidders were on hand,
and, although scarcely any of them had
seen the specifications, they knew in a
general way. what was required, and
came with their written offers in their

his office, but, as a matter of fact, few
were allowed to inspect them.
whether or not Commissioner Andrews
was afraid his friend Dodge would lost
the contract, certain it is that at tn,
last moment he changed his mind as tc
the opening of the bids. To the waiting
contractors he said that new specified

CAPITAL OUT OF THE STRIKE.
Coul Combine May Increase Prices
md Limit the output.

The insolence OF the coal combine In
increasing the wholesale prices of
anthracite on account of the strike
among the miners of soft coal, and in
the next breath deciding to mine a
smaller quantity of anthracite for the
coming month, is an example of the
condition OF II coal market In which
honest competition Is s~trangled.
1t Is this condition which THE
World" seeks to change. This action
indicates that the combine IL going to
put on the screws again and try to
squeeze the consumer a little tighter.
Therefore The World" will continue its
offer to deliver conl to consumers In
New York or Brooklyn at $3.50 per ton.
The combine may mine only GO per
cent. of the capacity of the collieries,
which means the throwing out OF en-
ployment of 40 out of every 100 miners
In Pennsylvania, and consequent pow
erty and want among the pool people
Of the anthracite region, but The
World will continue to serve the people
and to show up the extortionate
methods.
Even at the advance just ordered re-
tail dealers will still be able to sell
coal Mt $3.50 per ton II they 80 desire.
but any consumer who Is unable to
purchase coai at hat rate from his
dealer may leave his order at THE
World's' New York or Brooklyn office
and the coel will be delivered at $3.50
per ton.
