The afternoon session was opened at
half-past two o'clock with a call of the
roll followed by the reading Of the re-
port of the Executive Committee and
the report of the Treasurer, which
showed o balance on hand of $122.96.
MI Henry n. Russell, the speaker
of the afternoon, was then introduced
and delivered q most excellent and in
terestirg address upon the topic Mine
Own With Usury." An outline OF his
remarks follows:
Mr.. Russell began by saying that It
might seem o little singular, at first
thought. TO presume TO talk to a lot of
bankers about the lawfulness or pro-
priety of taking interest for the use OF
money. The term "usury' in the title
of his address, was used in its original
and proper sense, meaning not the I'M
lawful taking Of interest Tor the use Of
money. but the taking Of interest at alb
friend of the speaker, having seen
i'm the newspapers the title OF his ad-
dress. had asked from what portion of
hakespeare the quotation had been
taken. lie mado a reference to the pas
sage in the works OF the Bard in which
the ability of Satan to quote Scripture
for his purpose is set forth, and
said that perhaps he had an equal
RIGHT to make use of the same author
itv. and then announced that his title
was from Luke. 10, xiii; Wherefore
then gavest thou not my money into the
bank. that at my coming | might have
required mine own with uSury?' Our
Lord and Savior, he said, would not
have used that term had it referred to
the unlawful return for the use OF
money. On the contrary, it had refer
euce to the entirely proper return for
the use of money loaned. He said that
some one had remarked that if any Of
us traced our ancestry back far
enough, ne would
COME TO THE HANGMAN.
The meaning of that was that if we
went back far enough we would come,
i'm all probability, to ancestors who
were not exactly creditable members Of
society. II was so with banking, and
ne craved pardon in advance il, in the
course of his remarks, he brought to
light ancestors and conditions not es-
pecially hattering. There was Biblical
authority, he said, for the prohibition
of taking interest at all. The Mosaic
law laid il down very fatty. To sub
staniate this, he quoted from Exodus,
d XIV: If thou lend money to any
Of my people that is poor by thee, thou
shalt not be to him as an usurer, nei-
Their shalt thou lay upon him usury."
The first reading Of this passage, he
said. might possibly convey the i'm
preston that proper interest was al
lowable. but that was not the real
meaning 1t meant that no interest was
TO be taken at all. He then quoted from
Leviticus %. XIV: And if thy
brother be waxen poor and fallen in
decay with thee, thou shalt relieve him
Thou shalt take no usury Of
him. nor increase He also quoted
from Deut. %. xix, and Eek. is, xiii, tc
the same general effect, and the last
quotation reading: He that hath given
forth upon usury and hath taken in
crease. shall he then live? He shall
not live: he hath done all these abomi-
nations: he shall surely die, he anxi-
ously INQUIRED who among his hearers

That Question of Obedience.

Mrs Emma Jackson, of Chicago, has
been investigating a subject which con-
Germs all women who hope to wed--in
other words, all women who are not al
ready wed. The result of her research
IS cheering to the progressive. She says:
81 was told that you could not get mar
red unless you promised to obey your
husband. The thing was said so often
that finally l came to believe 1t. In the
past year the old story has come up
again and again. 1 got tired Of 1t finally
and looked into the matter. To my sur
prise | find that there Is no authority for
Il whatever In the early Christian
church the pastor merely put the ques-
t,on DO you, Jane, take this man for
your husband?' and DO you, John, take
this woman for your wife?' That's all
therc was to It. The great Roman Cath
Ollie Church, the Greek, Coptlc and Arme-
nlan have followed the same practice.
The Church of England, In the tie Of
Henry VIII, and one or more of the Ger
man churches introduced the word
obey and that's where 1t comes from. I
hardly fancy that that monarch Is a good
man to pattern after. There are a num-
Der OF sects. German, Scandinavian and
believe English which make both hus-
band and wife promise to obey the
other"

American birth. The Countess was for
m5rly Miss Mary Lea. OF New York. In
1864 she married the aged Austrian
Prince Won Noer. Upon her marriage the
Emperor of Austria created her Pr!n-

deash OF Won Noer. she married Won
Waldersee. to whom she brought an i'm

s.xty-third year.
He has been forty-fve years in the

of brilliant executive and strategic
achievements are to his credit, and, while
he has not written so vouminously as

works OF authority. AS a tact,cian he Is
believed to be Won Moltke's equal, and
IN dash and energy without superior In
the long line Of warriors who have fol-

a lifelong study of Russia's military sys-
tom and resources and may yet have an
opportunity to measure his wits and his
blade against the coming soldier in Rus

The Great Sails Of Racing Yachts.

The sails Of the racers are proba-
bly, the most wonderful part of their
whole make up. Dettnaer, when she
has her mainsail, her jib, her jib top
sail, her staysail, and her working top
sail up, carries Il 1000 square feet of
canvas. And when she substitutes for
these working-sails her balloon jib,
her club topsail, and puts out her
spinnaker she almost doubles that
area. These sails cost thousands of
dollars, because there must be several
of each in case of accident to one or
another, and for use in the different
kinds Of wind that may prevail in
race. There is heavy mainsail for
strong winds of sea-island cotton of
Egyptian cotton or ramie cloth, while
the jibs are made of lighter grades or
the same material, until they come
down to the constituency of a coarse
pocket-handkerchief One of Deter
tiers spinnakers is of Scotch linen.
In 1898 it was reported that one of
Halkyrie IT'S big spinnakers was of
silk, but it was not; it was of exceed
ingly fine Irish linen.
Taking all these matters into &C
count, and considering that each boat
must have from forty to fifty sailors
to man her, it becomes evident that
the building and maintaining Of such
yacht is matter Of no small ex-
pense. Mr.. George Gould spent no
less than $40, to put Ngilant in
condition to race with DEFENDER in
the preliminary trials this year. The
crew has to be engaged and trained
for weeks before the racer is put into
commission, and kept at work for
couple of months before the great
contests for the Cup are held. These
sailors, of coarse, cannot live on the
yacht, since there is no room for hunks
or lockers or galley on the modern
racing machine. Therefore both De-
/endev and Valkyrie have steam
tenders.-HarperS' RounA Table.
