Rev. c. II. strong ON Competition
and Cooperation i'm Business.

Rev. Charles II. Strong, at St. Johns
church, preached last night the second of
a ser!des of sermons upon the subject.
christianity in Business" The subject
of his discourse was Competition the
Life. and Cooperation the Heart of
Trade"
Rev. Mr. Strong referred TO his sermon
Of the Sunday night before in which he
spoke Of the iaymans sermon to the
clergy, and said that in answer to the .et-
ter written by the layman about thirty or
forty letters had appeared in print each
dissenting from the view expressed by the
writer. hut giving different views of the
other side of the subject. Reduced 70 the
last analysis there were two propositions
which grow out OF the discussion. he said,
one Of them being whether with great and
successful houses competition is so keen
and aggressive that in order to succeed
they must adhere strictly to the princi-
pies of Christian honesty, or whether on
the ether hand the competition of the
larger houses drives the smaller men out
of business, thereby turning out labor, and
leaves the field clear for their own cor
rupton.
He reiterated the statement of his belief
that within the last twenty-five years bus
mess morality and ethics have been on
the upward trend. In the business world,
he said, there is being born prime cor
relative Of competition, which will still fur
Their increase the adherence to the golden
rule This principle had been little recog-
MID in the past, he said, but is rapidly
coming to the front in all lines. He ap-
piled it to the doctrine of protection, say
ing the northern manufacturers who want
protection should cooperate with their
southern countrymen who want it also for
their rice, .ong staple cotton and similar
products.
principal, one injected into nature by God
In the struggle for existence was exempli-
fled competition. in the principle of repro
duction was seen the principle of cooper
alton.
Competition, he held, was necessary, as
business will never rise where there Is a
lack of it. In the countries where there
is the least competition there is the lea st
commercial morality, and vice versa Com
petition and cooperation, he said must
go hand in hand. and they will bring sue
cessful business life on a Christian basis.
The two great competing branches of
the Anglo-Saxon race have at last realized
this, he said, and are now turning to CO.
operation in the shape of an arbitra ton
treaty. He referred briefly to several sue
cessful cooperative corporations. To CO.
operation among men IN business and other
walks of life he looked for true solution
of the questions. Cooperation has made
its appearance and he believed 1t is a
principle that will grow and grow until a
fun and true solution of the situation has
been reached.

TERRIBLE REVENGE.
Lured His Successful Rival to Al
DrunLnrd's Grave.


New York Letter in the Cincinnati En-
quirer.
A funeral that took place about two
weeks ago had for the deceased a man
who was politely supposed to have died
of heart failure or something equally re-
spectacle As a matter of cold fact he
was a pronounced dipsomaniac and his
death was directly due to excessive drink
ing. Interment was i'm Greenwood. Among
those who accompanied the MOURNING
family to the grave was aNman who had
been for years the close companion of the
deceased. It was he who exercised a gem
eral charge over the funeral arrangements
and who escorted the weeping widow back
70 her desolate home.
Late that night he sat with a friend,
who told me the story and made a most
extraordinary confession. To all intents
and purposes he made himself out as a
cold-blooded murderer The sum and sub
stance of his story may be put very brief
~. Fifteen years ago he was betrothe1 to
the woman whose husband had just been
buried. Their engagement, for some rea.
son or other, was to be a long one. Before
the date for the marriage she broke the
engagement. For a time he did not clear
~ understand the reason, but he felt that
he knew IL well enough when subsequent
~ she married another man. This other
man had been his friend The man who
made the confession went on TO say that,
believing that he had been most treacn-
erously used, he determined to have re-
vcnge.
There is no such thing In our civilza-
ton" lie said, calmly, ''as evening up mat
ters by the use of sword or pistol; more
over, l see no philosophy In any revenge
that brings with IL an almost certainty OF
punishment at the hands of the law. |

The TreacherOus Waves.

Some days ago two young gentlemen
of this city constructed pretty little
boat, to be used on the river for pleasure
and duck hunting. Like the bicycle in
the song, it was "built for two" The
other day the boys, armed with shotguns
and accoutrements, took their little craft
to the river and set sail down stream in
quest OF ducks. The little boat rode
merrily on the waves until bend in the
river, with willow lined bank and strong
current, was struck; then trouble came
thick and fast. There was sudden ca
reening of the little boat, and the boys
oh, where were they! Ask the angry
waves that swallowed up their guns and
other loose articles; and which articles
are still held and detained by said angry
waves much to the sorrow and peace of
mind of their rightful owners. A friend
of the unfortunate young men has con
tributed the following bit of rhyme as
suited to the OCCASION:
Boat duck; boys luck
Boat swim; boys grin.
Boat dip; boys tip
Water deep; boys leap.
Boys swim; ducks grin.
Boat sink; boys think -!

Alfalfa is better than bank ac-

proof, for cold does not in ure and
heat makes it grow all the better. A
winter flood will not drown it, and a
fire will not kill it. As borer it is
equal to an artesian we'll; it loves
water and bores to reach it. When
growing there is no stopping it. Be-
gin cutting twenty-acre field and
when your last load of hay is handled
at one end of the field, it is ready to
cut again at the other end. For fill
ing a milk can an alfalfa fed COW is
equal to a handy pump. Cattle love
it, hogs fatten upon it and hungry
horse wants nothing else. If your
land will grow alfalfa you have the
drop on dry weather. Once started
on your land alfalfa will stay by you
like Canada thistles or first class

wealthier and happier. Evidences
of the profitableness of alfalfa or
