When they honor him, he does not
put their confidence in him in the mar
ket to be exchanged for counsel Fees

He is honest, faithful and level-head-

makes indecent public exhibitions of
himself. He never 'tpairs" with Plu-
tocracy at crisis when every thing
depends on his fighting to the last ex-
tremity. He knows what Democracy
is, and as long as he is in the Senate,
Missouri will never have to take a
microscope to discover the difference
between a Democrat and a Hanna,
a Kerens or a Croker.
1t will never do to let such a man
as Cockrell be retired to make room
for Kerens. or any one who is pairing"
with Kerens.
Let Missouri Democrats see to it
that honest, sober, reliable Chicago

Obituary.

Bird Everett, the youngest son OF
Henry and Eliza Haven, died at his
home on Imboden September goth,
1898, aged Is years.
His death was preceded by Is days
of intense suffering. While our hearts
are wrung with anguish as we recall
the bodily suffering witnessed at his
bedside, yet there is an everlasting
consolation attached to the recollection,
for in his last hours, and amid his
most severe suffering that dear voice
was raised to God in praise, and in
the stiffness of that solemn night, rang
out in song. clear and sweet as the
tones of silver,
"AlasI and did my Saviour bleed,
And did my Sovereign die?
Would he devote that sacred head,
For such a worm as II"
And again as the end drew nearer,
and as all hearts were longing and
hoping for farther evidence, how
blessed to hear in that same sweet
tone, the precious words. I'VE are
passing away, we are passing away"
Though Bird had never made any
open confession of Christ, we have
sufficient evidence left that he had ac-
knowledged Christ as his personal
Saviour even before his sickness. On
one occasion he was reading the Bible
and one of his sisters said, ''Why are
you reading the Bible so much?" and
he answered, because, | don't expect
to be here long" And at another time
he had a serious talk with another
sister and gave her his views on the
resurrection, and added that he hoped
to be resurrected with the just. Since
his death his name has been found
written at the head of several chapters
in the Bible. showing that he has been
reading and study the holy word.
Bird was the youngest of seven
brothers, none of whom profess hope
in Christ, and to see these six manly
forms stricken down in grief and some
of them crying to God for mercy
around that lifeless body was enough
to move the strongest hearts. o, that
a praying mothers prayers may be
answered, and that from this time the
unconverted portion of that family
will resolve to turn away from sin and
lead new and nobler life.
May this be the prayer from each
heart:
"Jesus, throw my arms around,
And hang upon thy breast,
Without one gracious smile from thee
My spirit shall not rest"
To these devoted parents whose
hearts lie crushed and bleeding be-
meath the wreckage Of their brightest
hopes and purest love we offer our
tenderest sympathies. Aud let US all
as family rejoice in the knowledge
that we will meet him again '.beyond
the river" and try to take some con-
ISOLATION in these ''affiictious though
they seem severe are of in mercy

The MARRIAGE COMMANDMENT
An Interesting and Eloquent Sermon
Delivered by Rev. Philip B.
Cabell Last Night.

"The Marriage Commandment" was
the subject of an interesting sermon de.
livered in the Church of the New Jerusa-
lem at so last evening by Rev. Philip
B. Cabell. He says the Bible tells us
that one of the Sadducees spoke to Jesus
in reference to woman who had had
seven husbands, and asked which
would be her husband in the resurrec-
tion.
Jesus answered, saying that in the
resurrection there is no marriage or Civ
ing il marriage. Rev. Cabell said this
statement did not disprove the doctrine
of the New Church, which holds that
there are the two sexes in the next
world and marriages.
He said the marriage referred to by
Jesus as not existing in the resurrection
was the marriage of the good and true in
the human mind, " hich he claimed had
to take place before man could enter into
the resurrection.
For centuries, he said, the world had
regarded marriage only as carnal
union and asylums were founded by
Christians where either sex could escape
from the unholy influence of marriage
with the other As a result of this large
numbers of persons in Europe became
either monks or nuns. The speaker
said the sentiment of many Christians
has changed and marriage is now re.
garded from another standpoint. He
said even the angels are in married pairs.
Rev. Cabell delivered some excellen,
advice to yOurg unmarried men whom
he said should regard every woman as q
possible wife for himself or some one
else, and treat her with proper resrect
He said the so-called harmless flirtationt
deserved harsher name. He asserted
that women are universally more faith.

ethics than men. He said men should
regard their wives as their greatest treas

things which should not be coveted.

THE writer of Democratic Glasses in
the Sunday Star said yesterday: my
suggestion that the Administration,

can that could be named, has served to
keep the Morning News and the Erery
Evening sparring all week about the mat.
ter. Besides the circumstances which
mentioned last week, which seem to in
dicate such desire in Washington, and
even the possibility of such thing oc-
curing, there are number OF other
straws which point> the same way, not
the least of which is the marked prefer
ence given to Senator Gray in appointing
him member of the United States
Canadian Joint Commission and then
one of the Commissioners to negotiate
the Paris treaty. Again the representa-
tives and proteges of the Administration,
the Regulars, while they were active in
the attempt to return a Republican Con-
gresham gave little work to the election
of Legislature, leaving that important
detail to the Unionists.
There are similar little things with
out end that show that the President
would not be wholley displeased by Mr..
Gray's return"
For sure "there are similar things with
out end that show that the President
would not be wholly displsased by Mr..
GIay's return"
Has not Mr.. Mckinley impaired his
desire to Mr.. Hugh c. Browne? Has not
Mr.. Mckinley offered consular appoint
ments to the Regular Republicans who
will vote for Mr. Gray?
Administration papers all over the
country advocate the reelection of the
Hon. George Gray. All this is true.
Such has taken place 1t has been
chroniced time and again, first of all by
The Sun, later by many of the most
prominent daily newspapers in the East.
The writer OF Democratic Glasses in the
Sunday Star received the news from THE
Sun. He Investigated and found The

of George Gray, Democrat, to the

PROSECUTION in the case OF Mrs. Cor
della Botkin, who is. on trial for the
murder of Mrs. j. P. Dunning and Mrs.
J. D. Deane, of Dover, has a difficult
problem with which to deal. A citizen
and taxpayer OF San Francisco in an
application to the Supreme Court of
California to restrain the trial claims
that State has no jurisdiction over the
crime charged against Mrs. Botkin.
His claim appears decidedly reason
able in view of the insufficiency ofprooi
produced by the authorities of Delaware
with which to connect Mrs. Botkin with
the murder. Not only that, but the fact
that it is desired to try Mrs. Botkin in
California for a murder committed in
Delaware is at least unconstitutional.
The murderer of the two Dover women
must be tried in Delaware. If the guilty
person lives in another State, then the
trial, which must take place in this
State, can go on only after connection
of the suspected person with the murder,
is shown sufficiently we'll to justify his
or her transportation to Delaware.

OF this city but now Of Philadelphia.
Mr.. Cavender was a well-known real

year ago, his wife died, blighting his life
30 that he moved out of the State. Only
a few. months afterward, his son Levin
died in the volunteer service, and, last

CHICAGO, Dec. 1.-THE Milk Trust,
with capital stock Of $40, ,0O0, 900, is now
an assured fact, and application will be
made within ten days for articles of in
corporation.
Joseph Letter, who began investigat.
ing dairying few weeks ago, discovered
that it was business in which there
was a large profit. Then he went down
to Philadelphia and investigated the
milk business in that city.
The result is nightly meetings of Mr..

dozen of the largest Chicago milk
dealers. L. q. Letter and William G.
Seipp are each to be interested to the ex-
tent of 81, 100000. Milk dealers who are
taken in will be given stock according
to the value of their plants.
Negotiations are now in progress with
the railroads for reduced rates, and the
directors of the Milk Shippers Union
have been approached with propositions
for the purchase of their product.
