Chicago Chronicle.
ut recent meeting OF the Methodist
Ministerial association, held in the pariors
of the Meridian Street Methodist church,
Rev. j. w. Milan said he had recently
come across q very interesting discovery.
made by some one working in the Smith
scnian institution The discovery related
TO the color of sin. Several of the ministers
present said the color OF sin was scarlet,
because the Bible said so. Mr.. Milan re-
Piled that the scientist who had made this
investigation had discovered that sin has a
distinct chemical process, examined the
perspiration Of persons aroused TO sinful
passions When this was subjected to a
certain test the perspimtion became pink
ish in color. He had made more than forty
experiments and In every instance the re-
suit was the same. The perspiration COM
ing from persons not under the influences
OF evil passions does not have this color
Thus he Is led to believe that sin is in
color peculiar sickly pink--a pink that
rather has wicked look of its own. Dr.
Milan regarded this as another instance
where science agreed with religion for
the Bible refers frequently to the color of
SIN, its reference to scarlet being used for
the reason that that color was found the
most difficult of all dyes to remove BY a
close study of the Bible many sections can
be found which strengthen the claim that
sin has color of Its own, and that that
color is something on the order of pink

CHARGES OF FRAUD.
Senator Carter Attacks Pacific
Steamship Lines.

Charges of fraud on the part of steam
boat owners of the Pacific Coast and
gross MISREPRESENTATION on the part of
the harbor master of San Francisco were
made in the Senate yesterday by Senator
Carter.
this matter came before the Senate in
a bill reported from the Commerce Com
mittee by Senator Gailinger providing an
American register for the steamships Vic
toria, Olympia, Arizona. Columbia, Ar
gyIe and Tacoma. These steamboats, are
to be used as transports to carry Amer
lean soldiers TO Manila.
Mr.. Perkins wanted to know if it had
been ascertained whether or not these
boats would prove seaworthy or whether
they We're like the steamship Centennial
which. after an American charter had
been granted her, had been found to be
entirely unfit for service.
The value of this ship had been in
creased % per cent through the action
of CONGRESS IN giving her the right to
carry the American flag, declared Mr..
Perkins for the reason that she could
now enter actively in the coasting trade.
Mr. Carter replied to this by stating
that the whole transaction in reference to
the Centennial bore,4 to his mind, the
earrnarks of a preconceiyed scheme to
hold up the United States Government for
the payment of extraordinary and un-
reasonable prices for transports.
~ believe" continued Mr.. Carter, that
IL will be found on further investigation
that this was q plot on the part of steam
beat owners on the Pacific Coast to delib-
erately destroy this piece of property,
that they might hold this Government by
the throat and demand higher price for
their boats.

"Rooseyelt's Regiment" Col. Wood
is man of much ability. both as a
physician and a military man; he is
so able a man that Roosevelt, who is
something of an authority on military
matters. was quite willing to consider
him as a superior. Yet his name is
scarcely ever mentioned, and when it
is mentioned, he is considered, simply
in the light of Roosevelts colonel The
picturesque and lively figure of Theo-
dore Roosevelt. whether sparring with
Bowery tough, unwinding red tape in
the Navy Department, or riding a
buclSing bronco in Texas, always seems
to find itself naturally placed in the
center of the landscape.
1t is probable that neither Col. Wood
nor MIR. Roosevelt pays much attention
to this state of affairs. Neither of
them is responsible for it, and both to-
gether could not change it if they
would. That mixture of cowboys and
club men, riders who got their training
on the wild Western prairies, and gild-
ed youth. who never in their lives rode
a horse that did not have its tail
