In an address said: SIN my church in
Brooklyn, there are sitting before me,
Sabbath by Sabbath, men who once were
under the serfdom of strong drink, but
are now clothed, and in their right
minds, and when l say, what has been
their history?' they say, 'We were re-
stored through the Kelley cure.'"
Hundreds and thousands of men who
belong to the church have fallen. Is
that anything against the church? No,
And if fifty per cent, if seventy-five per
cent, under this cure went back, and
only twenty five per cent were saved
such discovery and such a cure, ought
to be extolled throughout all the earth
and all the heavens" = What
very unfair thing it is to condemn a
whole system because one man fails in
it" y = = This world has so many
troubles, so many struggles, it wants all
the help it can get, human and Divine.
We want the grace of God, and we want
surgery, and we want the Kelley cure"

case was fled in the referees report to-
day. The commissioners fixed the amount
of the personal property at $4,000, 900.
The children claim to be non-residents,
and that this was $1O.O0O,O 900 too much
George Gould testified that William b.
Wander bilt's estate was taxed on an
S8,0UO,000 valuation in 1898, although it
was supposed to be worth 500, 100000,
while the assessment placed against his
fathers estate was $10.OOO,000. Corne-
Illus and William K Vanderbilt were
each taxed on valuation of 100000 of
personal property, while they were said
to be worth 100000, 0O0 Russell Sage
was assessed on valuation of $500,00O;
the Tilden estate on $500.000; Andrew
Carnegie on $4,000 and c. P. Hunting

PHILADELPHIA, May 90, 1895.
Mr.. S. D. Parker, Topeka, Kas.
DEAR SIR: Replying to your favors
of the 10th and 18th instant. sent me at
Perth Amboy, n. J., would say that
there is not word of truth in the news
paper article you refer to. stating that
the bodies of Hazlitt and Stevens were
to be removed from the property of The
c. Pardee works, of which l am the
principal owner, and it may be many
years before it will be necessary to dig
the clay in this little cemetery, and
when that time comes, if l am alive, the
friends Of those buried there, as far as
am able to locate them, will be commu-
nicated with and given an opportunity
to remove them; and if they do not
will, at my own expense, see that these
bodies are properly re-interred in pub
lie cemetery.
Trusting that this will be satisfactory,
remain, very truly yours,
G. PARDEE.
