FROM the w dSLiuStoh iihhcS.
Mr.. Carnegie is by all odds the most
hysterical of the little group of un-AmerI-
can citizens of foreign birth or sympathies
who oppose the retention of the Philippines
by this country. Yet there is note of ar
tifciality in his lucubrations, which >sug-
gests that he is a victim of the literary
microbe; that having acquired millions as
a business man. he is envious of those who
have chosen poverty with culture and is
struggling for the power of expression that
is dear to the Scot. But he grows tiresome
with his fantastic abuse of the president.
He must learn that there are limitations to
the power of riches. He may influence Leg
islation to favor his manufacturing inter-
ests by generous campaign contributions,
and. If he will cultivate the favor of Sena-
tor Quay. he may even influence some ap-
pointments to office; but his ambition
scarries him too far when he attempts to
turn the president from policy that is ap-
proved by an immense majority of the
American people.

STORMY SCENE IN CHURCH

unusual demonstration, the exact opposite
of that which occurred in Emanuel Bap-
fist church. Chicago, several years ago,
when the pastor, Rev. George C. Larimer,
d. d., now of fremont Temple, Boston,
was applauded by his congregation for a
notable expression at the funeral of one OF
its members, was witnessed at the Third
Baptist church here tonight the pastor, DR..

of his hearers
The scene was the outcome of a discus

was offered to the effect that the action of
the committee favoring the sale should INST
be ratified by the congregation . pr.
Bfeughton. left the pulpit and coming TO
the floor said the amendment just offered
had been sent In for no other purpose than
to prolong the fight which was on in the
church over the disposition of the real es-
tate. DR.. Broughton, highly excited, said
For the sake of peace in the church let's
fight the thing out now and settle the ques-
ton" He was Interrupted and called to
order by one Of the opposing force and In
a moment the church was In an uproar.
First came laughter from the female por-
ton of the audience then some one ap-
plauded with the feet, then the entire dis
satisfied element clapped their hands,
raped their canes and umbrellas on the
seats and the church rang with their laugh
ter. DR.. Broughton attempted to quiet the
tumult saying there was one thing he was
sure of and that was his religion. This
was greeted with: ST doubt it," from
one of the dissidents and again there was
laughter. DR.. Broughton returned quickly
to the rostrum and after calming himself
administered a scathing rebuke to the dis
turbing element Without further inter-
ruption the resolution was passed and the
sale ordered.
Dr. Broughton's sermons have caused
more comment than those of any other min
lister in this city because of their fierce
opposition to other creeds and attacks upor

All day to-day free sample packages of the

each sufferer from Asthma, Hay Fever or

said: People are naturally skeptical
about an asthma remedy and when you
consider the number of so-called cures on
the market you can hardly blame them.
