"OID GLORY

Columbus Theatre last night shouted
themselves hoarse with enthusiasm at
the heroics of "Old Glory" which Is
described as "a story OF our bluejackets
in Chill" rewritten and adapted from
the original of Messrs. Pettitt and Mer-

joins that OF the Railroad Company.
Twenty yards away the thirteen-story
refinery rises skyward, employing hun

milk to soften them sufficiently to

formally took up the reins Of manage

MY election to the Presidency of the
Company does not mean a reorganiza-

any particular, There will be no re-
movals in any department on my ac-
count. and things will go on as they
have been going
The fact that John Hoey, when about
to be forced out of the Company in 1891,
voted for Mr.. Weir for President in
stead of for Mr.. Henry Sandford, the
NOR that Mr.. Sanford had been turned
down to make room for the late Mr..
Hoeys friend but Mr.. Sanford put a
quietus upon that rumor by stating that
he had also voted for Weir in 1891.

The Passing of n Soul.

To the Editor:
In answer Is It death to de7 No. Only step
in life. Now, the true doctrine concerning the
souls OF the departed Is briefly this: That,
while the hour OF death irrevocably decides the
condition Of the soul so that he who is holy
will be holy still. and he who is flthy will be
filthy still Yet the righteous do not at once
enter heaven; nor do the lost descend immedi-
ately to their eternal prison. They all go to an
intermediate place. There the redeemed are In
happiness, anticipating the fulness of ther
bliss and glory. while the wicked are in misery
awaiting their awful. everlasting doom. To the
same place pass the wicked Saul and the pious
Jonathan. according to prophecy of the spirit of
Samuel BLANK.
