RELIGIOUS EDITORIALS FOR
SUNDAY

The Sabbath day was made for man,
and in Christian lands among the peo-
pie Of God it is a day of worship and
searching Of the Scriptures and medi-
tation. 1t will prove a curse to any
land when the Lords Day ceases to be
day of frolic and dissipation and visit
ing and excursions. Lord Selborne
spoke wisely when he said that the
law which upholds the institution Of
the Christian Sabbath does more to
educate and maintain a sound moral
sense in a Christian people than all the
museums and picture galleries in the
world"

At Asheville 800 negroes registered il
legally. If that is so, then it shows
more than ever the baseness of the
election law that was probably inspired
by Russell and drawn by him. The

There has been suspicious increases
in the negro vote in other towns and
cities, and unless the white men are
wide-a-awake, resolute and determin-
ed, hundreds of ex-convicts and other

Job lived in the remote past-thou-
sands Of years before the coming of the
Lord Jesus Christ. He was a good man
and highly intellectual. He was pro-
foun6Iy religious for his age and be-
lieved in God. Once he ventured on
remarks that were not we'll slst1ined,
and he was rebuked for them by
Elihu, was seems to have been some
thing of a preacher, but he was really
not q wiser man or better man than
Job was, but he claimed to stand in the
place of God, which did not display
much humility, while cOnfessing his
origin. His words We're: Behold, | am
according to thy wish in Gods stead"
That is saying a great deal if it was
true. Some men have claimed hat
prerOgative and power in many ages,
and some modern preachers ON times
lain as highly and speak and act as
il indeed "in Gods stead Modesty
and ;obriety Of statement are virtues
to be sought and cultivated. But Elihu
had grace enough to add also am
formed out Of the clay" He vas really
of the earth earthly, and not OF Heaven,
if inspired truly by the Almighty
Spirit. Job had rashly said of him.
self-"I am clean without transgres-
sion, T am innocent; neither is there
feature observable in this reproof of
Elihu because Job had dared to muir
muir against God. He did not take up
rumors against Job, and build rebuke
upon hearsay and the talk of gossips,
or base what he aid upon the gable
of the busy slanderer. He confined
his accusation to what he a heard
Job say himself and not another. His
reproof was made upon the best evil
dence, that of his own ears and his
OWN understanding. Some men play the
part of Mentor when they know moth
ing of themselves, and their censure
or complaints are simply the echoings
Of idle talk or gross SANDER or the
acid tongue of the habitual and pr
t;nacious liar. There are such folks
now, and they are not all in the pew.
For aught we know Elihu had the d.
vine or heavenly guidance as he boast
ed that he stood "in Gods stead" He
dealt very plainly and positively with
Job who was really crest-fallen and
not so good really as he had claimed.
Elihu did not exaggerate or pervert
what poor, afflicted Job had said, h a
he was both innocent and sinless. Job
evidently spoke Justify, like some peo-
pie in our day when they boas of saint
ship and being without sin, in a state
of absolute perfection. Job may not at
heart have purposed to be pre-
tentious and boastful. Possibly his
intention was to deny false ac-
cusations, and yet his Ian
guage is plain" and its purport
clear. JOB probably received the re-
buke in the right spirit, and did not
murmur against Elihu as he had MUIR
INJURED against God. The lesson chiefly
impressed upon Job in the 33rd chap
ter, 1-13-is hat God being greater
than man-being indeed Almighty is

mighty pleasant news if it is trust

thus pointing to a democratic house,
a democratic senate, five democratic

cratic judicial ticket" This is most

PASHODA AFFAIR.
Worlds Market Affected by Re.
ported Order of France.
Demand for Railroad Stocks More Urgent
Than Has Been Seen for Weeks.

New York, Oct. 21.-The motor sem
satory nerve of the worlds markets
was touched today by the reported or
ders of the government of France to
Maj Machand to retire from Fash
oda. There was a prompt recovery in
government securities in London and
Paris and in stocks at all foreign mar
kets. For the same reason there was
a weakening in the wheat markets in
the world, including Liverpool, New
York, Chicago and San Francisco. This
checked yesterdays advance in the
stock market.
But when it became evident later in
the day that there was good support in
the wheat market from a continued
heavy demand for export in spite of the
subsistence of the war scare and of
the continued heavy receipts at prl-
mary points, there sprang up de-
mand for railroad stocks which showed
itself more confident and urgent than
anything that has been seen in the
stock market for several weeks.
Naturally the demand was most man.
ifest for the stocks of the grain car
rying roads. The strength was man
ifest also in the Pacifics, including
ferred stocks of the latter road was
firm and active, closing with a gain of

The dullness and heaviness of the
stocks of the great Eastern Trunk lines
was in strong contrast The gross ear
nings of the New York Central for the
September 80 quarter, fell nearly $780,,
900 below those for the corresponding
quarter last year, while the balance
available for dividend Is / $500 per
cent for the quarter, compared with
l 70-100 per cent last year.

ern and southern stocks was quite gen.
eral, Louisville leading the latter
group with an extreme rise of d point.
The movement of the industrials was
relatively much less important than OF
late. Tobacco advanced an extreme
three points, but met heavy sales. SUI
gar was raided Ill, but met the re-
sisting point, and Manhattan, although
1t weakened early on published utter
ances tending to discredit report of
early electrical equipment, later rose
over point.
Sterling exchange advanced further
today in response to the stiffness Of
foreign money markets, but the local
money market continued easy. The
gain of the New York banks in cash
from gold imports from the sub-treas-
ury and by reason of the marked de-
crease in the movement of currency to
the interior is estimated to be not far
from $10000,000 for the week. The re-
serve requirements expended through
enlarged deposits by reason OF loans
| made on sterling exchange, may run
as high as $4,000, 600.

YALE BACKS ARE CRIPPLED.
Students Somewhat Fearful Regarding
Outcome of Today's Game.

New Haven, CT, Oct 21.-With her
five best backs crippled and unable to
play the game, the outlook for Yale in
tomorrow's foot ball game with the
Carlisle Indians is not rose-hued. De
Saulles' sprained ankle, it is announced,
win keep him off the gridiron for a
week, and Benjamin's injury will keep
him out of the game unless Wear and
Marvin, who play at half tomorrow,
should be laid out. Townsend is suf-
fering a sprain, and today, to complete
the discontinue of the eleven, Dudley
wrenched his left knee very severely.
Corwin is still in the infirmary. The
probability is that if the backs, Wear
and Marvin, are worn out, that the
freshman pony backs" Burdick and
Hall, who have shown up so well the
past week, will go in. Much is looked
for from Mcbride, and Sullivan at
quarter will need all the steadying
that Cutten can give him. Aside from
the backs, Yale will put her very best
eleven on the gridiron, with Cutten at
center, Brown and Marshall guards,
Chamberlain and Cook tackles, Coy and
Hubbel ends.
Ex-Captain Rodgers, Frank Butter
worth and Foster Sanford will watch
the game, and will also remain in the
city to coach the eleven for the next
few days.

Newport Cycle Rider Dis
appointed in His Pace.
series of misfortunes prevented R.

A series of misfortunes prevented r.
A. Wade from successfully accomplish
ing his ride from New York to Boston
yesterday, in an attempt to lower the
road record between the two cities.
Wade, after setting two or three dates
for the trial, had his arrangements all
made for yesterday, but at the outset
he was disappointed through the failure
of one of his pacemakers to show up.
Again misfortune stared the would
be record smasher in the face when,
like so many other riders not familiar
with the road, he became lost, and fl
nally abandoned the idea of riding to
the end of the journey.
Wade left New York city hall Just as
the clock struck II, and he made ex-
cellent time out into the country, all
though handicapped in the loss OF one
PAGER. Paul Thomas and w. F.
Browne, Century Road Club riders, were
to furnish the pace on the first stage of
the journey, and Browne, for some rea-
son. failed to show up
The start was made, however, and
Wade gave indications of record
breaking work for the first sixteen
miles of the Journey. Then, when the
rider and his pacemaker reached the vi
entity of Harlem, Brownies tire punct-
uIeu ana ne ndQ TO retire.
Wade continued from this point in an
almost hopeless journey, without a
pacemaker and a total stranger to the
country around him. But he plugged
bravely on, and in reality did work
which was commercially good had it
but counted Wade met a man be-
tween one and two O'clock and asked
the distance to Port Chester, receiving
as reply that it was 16 miles. Here
is where his troubles became too nu-
merous, and it was here that Wade lost
any hope of completing his journey
He rode some little time until he
came to cross road, and then he was in
quandary. A man told him that either
road would take him to Port Chester,
and he took the mans advice, select
ing road which led to a cemetery.
Again the rider wheeled around and
started on a backward journey, cover
ing the territory in such a manner that
he was riding towards New York in
stead of Boston.
Finally Wade struck the road which
took him to Port Chester, and with a
heavy loss of time, some four hours,
he decided to quit the game. Wade
rested for a time at Port Chester, and
then took the train for Worcester, ar
irving here last evening.
He feels confident that under favor
able circumstances, he could make the
trip. and he intends to do so, although
he does not know as yet when the at
tempt will be made.
