A BELLAMY IDEA
Rev. D. P. Birnie's Com.
ments on Equality.
Man Should Make the Conditions
Character is the Great Power.
Pulpit Thought.

Inere was an unusually large con-
gregation at Central Union church Sun
day evening. The pastor spoke upon
"Equaliay According to Bellamy and
Equality According to the Gospel"
There was special music by the choir.
Misses Leighton and Halstead gave a
duet in the anthem and ]. Q. Wood
rendered a solo.
Rev. D. P Brine commented upon
the new book rather than reviewing
it. He draw some strong contrasts
and his conclusions were clear and
well grounded. 1t was conceded at
once that there were inequalities,
quite numerous and certainly varied.
The speaker said that since the COM
mencement of time there had been in
progress struggle for liberty. Men
had desired free thought and free
speech. They had demanded political
rights and privileges, and they had
contended with the financial problem.
There has been no end to the solu-
tons offered to even differences made
by wealth and the resultant social con-
ditions. The modern socialists held
that environment or the circumstances
as existing should be changed to suit
the man. The gospel of Christ would
teach the student or follower that the
new man would make new conditions
And character is the making of the
man.
There is a discomfort. A healthy
discomfort does no harm. A discomfort
with earnestness and intelligence be-
hind it if following to a logical ending
results beneficially. Thought is brought
into service and it must ultimately
develop and strengthen character. In
the book Equality" Rev. Mr.. Birnie
found that the author had ascribed a
certain attitude towards labor on be-
half of the clergy. The speaker was
unable to discover where Mr.. Bellamy
had gathered his pulpit thought or
ideal. 1t reminded him of the case of
the secretary of a labor society he had
heard address ministers in Boston.
That individual had spoken of the posi-
ton of the pulpit When asked where
he had learned of it he was compelled
to confess that he merely supposed so,
not having attended church for many
years.
In conclusion Rev. Mr.. Brine re-
peated that the fight in the premises
of inequality was to continue and that
the duty of these who should and
would have influence in determining
the issues was to refrain from sneering
at inequality of character or express
ing contempt at discomfort. The duty,
he declared, was to realize and point
out that Equality according to the gos-
pei consisted in devotion to the better,
the spiritual nature, instead of appeal
to the prejudices and to the passing
materialism.

THE PENSION ROLL.

1t Is Increased by the Marriage of Old Sol
dfers to Young Wives.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.-The pension
roll is now larger than ever before.
Commissioner of Pensions Evans said
yesterday:
think there will now be- gradual falling
of in the number of pensioners Last year
81. $50 pensioners died, in addition to which
1,O74 widows lost their pensions by remarriage;
1,S45 minors receiving pensions lost them by
arriving at the age of limitation; 2 683 by fail
ure to claim them and 3, 500 from other causes,
making a grand total in the reduction of PEN
sions of Al. 122. think congress should take
prompt action in preventing multiplication of
pensions through the marriage Of old soldiers
We have the rolls the widows of seven
revolutionary soldiers A case was discovered
in which aged soldier propped up in
bed to be married to a young girl After the
ceremony had been performed he dropped back
and died. In that the pension was not
paid But good many people think that the
prospective pension a widow of a soldier is
enough to cause many young girls to marry
aged men for whom they care nothing except
to have pension for the balance of their lives
1t seems to that the practice is bad one.
and hope congress will take this matter in
hand and pass legislation to prevent pension
from being given to widows of soldiers of the
last war who marry the soldiers in the future

KILLED AND CREMATED.

Ed Williams, Negro, Meets a Horrible
Death While Fighting Officers
BAXTER, Ark, Aug. 24--Ed Williams,
colored, was killed and burned up in
his home three miles north of this
place, about three o'clock Sunday
morning. About month ago Williams
assaulted colored woman, and then
sent word to the deputy sheriff resid-
ing here that he would kill him if he
undertook to arrest him. At about
ten o'clock Sunday morning the
house was surrounded by the posse.
After exhausting every means of per-
suasion and promise of protection, and
having made futile effort to break
down the door. and having given fair
warning, the house was set on fire.
Not until the roof was falling in did
Williams appear, and one of the posse
killed him before he had time to shoot.
An effort was made to get the body out
of the burning house, but it was too
late The roof fell in almost the same
instant the desperate fell, and all
went up in smoke together.

sailors of the war for the union. 1t is
proposed to locate on the island with

diers who are i'll, and congress is asked
to take advantage of an offer of the
very favorable location for the pur-
pose The scheme has the indorse-
ment of Commander-in-Chief Clarkson.
There has been great deal of dis
cussion over a possible union of the
Woman's Relief corps and the Ladies
of the G.. A. R., but it is the desire of
the Grand Army that the tenets of the
Woman's Relief corps prevail as to the
eligibility clause, and the Ladies of
the G. A. r. do not want to give up on
that point, so the matter of a union
seems far away when the two Or
CARNATIONS took to different paths.
The Ladies of the G. A. r. accept only
the wives, mothers, sisters and daugh-
tiers of honorably discharged soldiers, "
and reject the loyal woman who had
no relatives in the war to whom she
can trace relationship.

The Big Chicago Packer Predicts Rising
Prices for All Agricultu raj Products.
CHICAGO, Aug. 23.-'I believe the
rise in the wheat market is legitimate.
1t has not been brought about by any
set of men, but is due entirely to nat
ural conditions. In my opinion this
years crop is worth 81 bushel and the
farmer ought to get that price for it
Philip D. Armour, who returned home
yesterday from trip abroad, ex-
pressed the views. The great packer
sees better prices ahead for every
thing. Wheat in its upward path is to
have the sympathy of all the articles
the farmer raises. Mr.. Armour has
talked with the leading business men
of the old world and has learned that
Europe is anxious to take all the sup
plies we can furnish and has the mon
ey to pay for them.
