 Marcus Aurelius Hanna,
 the
 Great Labor Unions Crusher
 of the
 Nineteenth Century, Who grew immensely Rich by cutting down the wages of his Employees, although himself ac- cumulating and enjoying the Protection and Profits of Tar fir that more than covered the entire labor cost of the products of his factories.
 He was the Inveterate Foe of Or ganized Labor and laid the Iron Hand of Oppression upon all Labor Unions and waged against them Unceasing and Cruel Warfare of Extermina- ton.
 He was the loyal friend of Trusts and Monopolies, The Idle Hold CTS of Idle Capital, but the Un- yielding Foe of all who sought to earn an Honest Living by Honest Foil.
 To secure the election of his Mort gagged Man, Mckinley, to the Presidency of the United States, he did not appeal to the Con- science, Reason and Patriotism of the Toiling Millions of Wealth Producers, but inspired the great Employers of Labor, the Banks, Railroads. Insurance Companies, and Manufacturing Corporations to Intimidate, Co., cree and FORGE, if necessary, their Employees to surrender their Manhood and Independ- ence, and support the Republic an party and it's candidates. He failed in his purpose because his would-be Victims were Hon. est. Independent, Liberty loving Men, and not Dumb, Cowardly Brutes to be driven by any Mas ter
 He died as he had Lived, the En- emy and Oppressor of the Poor. May his Satanic Majesty mete Charity, Kindness and Mercy to him as he meted the same to others while on Earth.

"sfES,s NEED OF RELIGION"
Special Course of Sermons by Rev. d.
C.. Garrett.

e.. Garrett.
At St Marks church last night the first
sermon IN the special course was given by
Rev. u. G. Garrett, the subject being
MANS Need OF Religion" This course Of
sermons * intended TO be something Of the
same order as those given last Lent in
Ranke's hall. which were SO largely at
tended by people who do not ordinarily so
TO church.
In his sermon last evening. Mr.. Garrett
discussed the need OF man for God. show
ing that by religion Is meant the conscious
relation between the human personality
and the divine A number OF different def
nifions OF religion were given, all being
summed up in the thought OF religion mean
ing the life OF God in the soul Of man. or
man in communion with God. The ipsfitu-
tionai side of this personal religion was de-
pic1e6 as witness to the universal need.
Just as every institution that affects peo-
pie generally is an Indication OF some in
hersnt necessity. What IS not meant by
the need OF religion was illustrated under
two heads; First. that by this Is not meant
that no Individual has ever been without
this need, and. second. IL does not mean
that that only fs necessary IN religion
which has been accepted universally. for IL
religion has had. like everything else. an
evolution. there must be certain properties
pertaining to the highest and latest forms
that are not TO be found in fungus growths.
Objections to the necessity or religion ~
ciassed under the head OF materialism
were replied 30 In a twofold way: First,
that the very statement Of the exclusive
naatsrialistic nature Of the universe implied
thought. and. second. that while the mud
philosophy might explain inorganic mat
ter. Il cannot explain organic life. The
terms usually applied 10 the universe by
naaterlalls,s are utterly inadequate 10 ex-
plaan the formation OF even a piece OF pro
toplasra.
Proceeding To the positive side OF the
question Mr.. Garrett argued that man
needs God, and. consequently. religion. first
IN this life He needs God here as sup
port against the trials and troubles or this
world He needs Him TO help round out
and complete life. making a perfect man
morally ana spiritually, as well as physi-
caify and mentally. He needs God practi-
rAiiy IN learning how 70 live more for 9TH
era Man needs religion. too. for the life
=, come. IL this life Is not all. and few
believe II Is. man - IN need OF that which
will make him feel At home when ushered
into the presence az his Maker. In this
tvofoid way man cries: Whom have / N
heaven but Thee. and there = none upon
earth that desire besides Thee"
