Mr., Chris. Heinrich,

Mr.. Chris. Heurich has written to
Senator Mcmillan, chairman OF the
Senate Committee on the District OF
Columbia stating that he is greatly
incOnvenIenced because he is unable to
have electric light in a part OF his
brewery in THIS city because the Com
missioners cannot authorize the laying
of a conduit across the street to connect
the several buildings of his establish
ment. He has been advised to prepare
a bill giving him the desired privilege,
which will receive the support OF Mr..
Mcmillan, who thinks business establish
ments should not be incOnvenienced by
such restrictions.

Marble, Sidewalks for Washington

We have A very paternal government
here in Washington, and it does some
things that would be quite astonishing
to the liberty loving people elsewhere.
For example, a saloon keeper on Penn
avenue wanted to add to the attractive.
ness OF his place and of the thoroughtare
by laying a sidewalk of white marble in
front. Anywhere else the sole questions
the CITY authorities would have felt at
liberty 10 consider would be whether
the proposed sidewalk had the regula
ton smoothness, frmnessand durability.
4 >Sut the Commissioner who has charge
n, such matters has refused the appliCa-
ton on the grounds that the policy Of
the city has been to have the sidewalks
Of uniform stone color, that the dazzling
white gyill be very irving to the eyes IN
summer, that 1t is not desirable that any
,one's sidewalks 'shall excel or differ in
rolor from other walks on the street."
that the present sidewalk in front of the
premises is in excellent condition, and
that as the expense OF keeping the walks
in repair eventually falls on the Govern
meut il must not be burdeQed with
costly marble. Consequently, the
enterprising saloon keeper is turned
down, and must resort to other means
TO make his place attractive.

Monday was suspension day in the

the most important OF which was one
appropriating $4,000 tor the Phlladel'

exceedingly close. 1t had but two votes
more than the necessary two thirds.
The bill was described as an attempt to

DR.. CRANES EPIoRAMs.

The following are some of the cpl.
grams from a recent sermon by DR..
Frank Crane, of Trinity church, Chi
cago:
This is the commercial parable, suited
to this commercial age.
The kingdom of heaven is strictly
business.
1t is a significant fact that Christ's
kingdom is not likened to a warrior, or
a poet, or a philosopher, or a slave, but
to q business man.
Gods saving a man is not turning
him into a righteous machine, but de-
veloping him into a righteous son.
Jesus view of His work was as Of a
business. At the start He said: II
must be about my Fathers business"
At the close: TT is finished"
The banana peddler handles person.
ally his goods: Mr.. Armour sits in his
office surrounded by papers and clerks,
while his trains and ships are at the
other end of the earth: so the little
man lives by sight, the big man faith:
and religious faith is simply business
sense carried to perfection, reaching to
eternity.
Enterprise and boldness, not caution
anu lear, are the louuddtioHS VI re-
ligion.
The wiser the man the more he trusts
a general law against all appearances.
The higher kinds Of life are occupied
with probabilities; only low forms deal
in certainties: the bank president at
$4,000 a year balances probabilities,
while the bank clerk at $50 a month
keeps the books with mathematic pre-
cfsion.
Dealing with probabilities develops a
man, makes sagacity, judgment, pru-
dence and foresight while dealing with
certainties reduces a man to an autom-
atom. Thus the kingdom of heaven is
a certainty only because of its over
whelming probability, not because of
its geometrical certainty, because It's
object is our development
The business mans success is the sue
cess Of the whole community, he helps
his clerks. his customers, the manu-
facturer, the laborers, the miners, the
farmers. 1t is a truer philanthropy
to run an honest business house than
to dole out aims; the one encourages
workers, the other beggars.
The true individual salvation becomes
the solution of the whole community,
saving the family, the state, politics
commerce, literature, all.
Selfishness and unsel1shness seem to
be parallel lines that never meet: but
they meet In the kingdom OF heaven: in
IL you cannot discern between SELFISH
ness and unselfshness.

That episode at Valley Forge showed
how slow he was. He abode with his

stead of getting in on some beef con-

SELF What was he doing? 1t is actual
ly said that he was praying-praying for
his country instead of preying upon it!
He refused crown. He voluntarily
declined reelection the third time, and
thus by his example has embarrassed
aspiring politicians ever since. 1t is
annoying to see how the cultured, en-
lightened American people still herald
the praises Of a man who refused office.
Perhaps 1t is because we attribute this
weakness to his times and not to the

that age. Altogether, he was a man
who did not grasp. grab, blow, adver-
