Their Defense by Colonel osborn-Dis-
 cussed by Ministers.

cussed by Ministers.
 Colonel N. G. Osborn's defense of the Sunday newspaper brought out the eloquence of many ministers of the city yesterday in opposition to MT. Osborns argument.
 Rev. MT. Poteat presided at the meeting and Colonel Osborn, editor of the Register, spoke on "The Relation of the pulpit to the Press"
 Colonel Osborn said in part:
 "The principal quality that the clergy and the press have in common is that both deal with humanity and it's needs. Both professions are more or less moved by the same motives of ambition and of selfishness The min istly is more protected by its sur roundings and its calling is essentially a religious one while that of the news paper is not essentially moral, although it's example and results may be for morality.
 "The duty of the true newspaper is to hold the mirror up to nature,' as it were, and thereby give the public the daily news.
 Occasionally the minister may leave his pulpit and do Parkhurst work and yet keep his place good for all time But I am not yet convinced that the work done by Dr. Parkhurst is all for the best. It has hurried along results but it remains to be seen how lasting those results may be, whether the ad- vantages outweigh the disadvantages or vice versa. Time alone can place the final test upon this work.
 ''The pulpit, to my mind, would do better if it were to take the Sunday newspaper as fixed necessity of our life and use it as an auxiliary to do good If the pulpit, however, is serious in it's attack upon the Sunday news paper, it should devote itself to the Monday morning paper and not to the Sunday morning paper.
 The ministers subjected Colonel Os- born to a lively cross-eXamination at the close of his remarks. Among those who took part in this contro- versy, which hinged mainly on the subject of the Sunday newspaper and Dr. Parkhurstism, were Rev. Mir. Mason, Rev MT. Abbott, Rev. Dr. New man Smyth and Rev MT. Whitcomb
 One of the questions put to Colonel Osborn was What would be the ex- perienoe of a newspaper run on the highest moral and intellectual basis?" Colonel Osborn's answer was that he was morally certain that such a paper would cease to exist in eight or ten months, and that after that time the editor could be found in the poor house.

Boston, March 11.-Michael Fender gast, a resident of West Newton, was adjudged insane to-day and was com mitted to an asylum.

sue him for damages. 1t is not easy to
fix the responsibility for this scab list OF
for any other part of the wretched
conspiracy that is engaged in max

they get desperate, form mob to black

not. On the basis of the printed def

AN EASY MARK.
Robbers Got $4,000 From
New Hampshire Treasury.
Key OF Vault Easily Reached-Treas-
urer and Watchman Absent

CONCORD, N. H., June 8.-Betwecn the
hours Of l2 and Monday tho vault Of the
state treasury in tho capitol was entered
by burglars and o large amount Of money
was taken. The burglars carried away
the kCr TO the vault, which could not he
open,s until Tuesday night. Two sus'
picious characters wore observed about the
state house Saturday, and il is supposed
that they are the burglars.
The treasurer and his assistant were at
dinner at the time of the robbery, and the
three watchmen were all temporarily alb
sent from the building. The door of the
treasury Office Is protected by an old lock,
probably made 80 years or more ago, which
IL Is claimed could be opened by a few
minutes prying with a nail. The key OF
tho vault which contained the safe was
hanging in a convenient place, and II
would seem that the robbers had little
trouble In accomplishing their work. The
safe has one Of the improved combination
locks, but it Is not kept locked in the day
time.
II Is evident that the burglars, having
provided themselves with a nail, waited
until the treasurer and watchmen had
left the building, and then opened the
various unprotected doors, took all there
was and left on on early train.
Robbers Got . Good Start.
So much time was spent in searching foi
the missing keys and in picking the locks,
which the thieves had sprung before leav
ing, that the robbers had about two days
start before the case was placed in tn.
hands Of the police, and the chances OF
catching them are generally considered
very remote. The treasurer says that the
state will not bo embarrassed.
State Treasurer Carter says that after Q
thorough examination of the vaults
$5429 SO is known to be missing. OF thi,
$20+4. 10 Is In q certificate Of deposit pay
able to the order OF tho treasurer, of which
payment has been stopped. This reduces
the apparent net loss to S33S5.50. In this
are included two $500 bonds, one Sl00
bond and $500 in currency certificates
The remainder was In currency and cash
items. There were also in the box certain
old title deeds, which are valueless.
In Colonel Carter's private box, which
was also taken, were insurance policic.
and three savings bank books belonging
to his daughters, on which payment has
been stopped.
That the burglars acted hastily is shown
by the fact that over $4,000 in bonds
mort cages and other securities was left In
the vault from which three tin trunks
wore tnlxc.

The Naval Militia.
Now York Sun.

The season Of sea duty for the naval militia
is at hand. and tho count Of the organization,
for the purpose OF awarding the appropriation
OF Congress for its support. shows tho credit
able total of 1892 officers and mon.
Three years ago the number Of mon certified
as mustered In was 1874. belonging TO tseven
States. Two years ago the number Of States
had been increased to nine. and the number
of officers and men TO 2376 Last year there
were ii States on the ROLL and the total had
come up TO 2540. Now we find 10 States en-
gagged in this work and showing an aggregate
strength OF nearly 300.
Such growth is most gratifying. and there
Is every reason for supposing that IL will keep
on. since the service is justly popular, and
there Is no reason why every lakeboard
and seaboard State should not have
part in 1t. Tho organization under
State laws is tho simplest most satis-
factory, and probably most economically that
has been proposed. The United States Govern
ment gets the great prospective benefit Of this
body OF men in time of need for very mod.
crate outlay. As to the value Of such a re-
sorve force OF 5000 men, perhaps to be increased
to 5000, many Of them drilled as gunners and
more or less accustomed TO tho routine OF life
ahoat, there can be no doubt.

AN AMERICAN BUSINESS WEEK

longs the credit of having an American
week. when all the stores are decorated
with American goods only. all the product

This Is an excellent idea for more rea-
sons than one. and IL has already spread

very many retail stores it is regarded as
quite the proper thing TO sell American
goods as II they were Of foreign manufac-
ture, and their proper display upon their
own merit will afford customers an oppor-
tunity OF learning that they have not
been In the habit Of buying something
that was English, French, or German.

MAGGIE HURRY-"SCAB."

MAGGIE HURRY is the name OF a young
woman who works in the Riverside
Mill.
Because she is disposed to earn her
living in an honest way, and doesn't care
to depend on charity, and finds only
poor comfort in the wages afforded by
standing around on the Merino fats and
listening to some labor agltator, who is
supported by assessments on her wages,
talk against time, she is listed
as a scab by the vicious and
senseless gang who are trying TO para
lyze the great industries and the trade
of Olneyville and keep thousands of
workers out of employment.
1t appears that the list of "scabs" is
printed in circular form for general dis
tribution and above the list is printed
the following interesting definition of a
''scab"-which, IL may be unnecessary
to add, is not according to Webster's or
the Century Dictionary.
DEFINITION OF A SCAB!
At IA conspiracy trial Ia England the prose-
cutting counsel gave the following definition
of a scab: A scab is 20 his trade what traitor
is 10 his country and. though both may be
useful in troublesome times, they are detested
when peace returns, alike by all. So, when
help Is needed, n scab Is the last TO contribute
assistance and the first 10 grasp a beueflt ne
no~er labored TO procure he cares only for
himself, he sees not beyond the extent OF n
day, and for monetary and worthless appro-
bation he would betray friends
family and country; IN short, he
Is traitor on n small scale who
first sells the journeyman. and is himself
aftcrward sold in his turn by his employer.
until at last he is despisod by both and de-
serted by all. lie Is an enemy TO himself. 20
the present age, and 60 posterity.
We recommend this definition 20 tho fol-
lowing persons:
Then follows the LIST OF the ostraeiseA
workers, and MAGGIE HURRY's name is
in the latest list that has been thrown
about Olneyville.

forth with a bludgeon OF rawhide to

scab, or do any other lawless
