st. Luks's Cathedral WAS crowded at
the. morning service yesterday to hrar
a sermon by Dean SilIs, rector Of the Ca
thedrai, ON the lsts Bishop Neely. He
took for his text Psalm 6b-v-4: BLESSED
is the man whom thou choosest and re-
ceivest unto thee. He shall dwell In thy
courts and be satisfiei with the pleas
ure Of thy house even of thy holy tom
pie."
The speaker pointed out the great con-
ISOLATION to be found In this verse and 1,
the Psalms as whole. He applied 1t as
balm to sooth the souls of thoss who
are todsy sorrowing for the great loss
which has come to the church. With
deep feeling he went on TO speak Of how
this passage had been read by him ut
midnight when watching by the body
Of the dead bishop, and Of the consolation
1t had been to him. The speaker then
welt upon the great sincerity and faith
of the tishop In his work and of his Joy
at the success of his lahors for God. In
voice trembling with feeling the speak.
er called to mind picture OF the bishop
as he was went to stand In the chancel
on those occsfions when the clergy and
laity had aseem bled to do him honor on
the anniversaries Of his conservation ss
bishop and Of his great humility and the
praise he offered with his whole soul to
God. He also spoke Of his self sacrifice
and devotion in the work of erecting the
cathedral which he regarded not as u
monument TO his own lators, but as o
permanent witness to the truth Of God
as revealed in the incarnation Of Jesus
Christ.
Dean Stills went on to say: "To him
the prayers and praises Of the worship
offered to God were the pleasures which
satisfied his soul. Reality and sincerity
in worship as in everything else was to
him of far more consequence than any
mere outward semblancs Of It. So while
loving deeply all things beautiful and
having keen appreciation Of the best
In ART he preferred that in the church
where all things were to glcrify and
honor God the externals of religious
service should come gradually and only
as the sincere expression of true faith
built upon sure and solid foundation.
The noble voice which In the days of
his strength rang and reverberated with
glorious music through his cathedral
here Joined Its splendid tones no less
heartily with those OF the simple I'M
trained voices Of some mission choir
Honoring the Lord in every act Of his
life the bishop honorsd Him In every
word he uttered as ore commissioned &c
teach its truth. In days when 1t is not
always popular to maintain the ancient
faith In its grand integrity his voice
never gave forth any uncertain sound.
1t rang out In the pulpit and In the
councils Of the church in this country
and in England in clear bold courage.
GUS maintenance of the doctrines of the
church and Of the integrity and inspira
tion of the Bible and OF the divine origin
OF that mystical body which we speah
of as the whole Catholic church.

Mr.. German on the Situation.

Ex-senator German in recent IN
terview said trusts and milItarism will
be chief topics in the coming cam
paign. The people, he declared, are
being squeezed, and the combinations
Of capital organized to restrict trade
and crush small dealers need to be
restrained. He says the Democratic
party will be a unit in the next pres
idential contest. The questions Of an
endless Philippine war and a large
standing army will attract great at
tention, although, the Senator said,
now that the country Is into 1t, 1t
would be ignominious to back out,
and those in command should have
all the resources they need. In furth-
er speaking Of trusts the ex-senator
said The Democracy has always
opposed trusts, but heretofore this r.
sue has been Of secondary importance.
During the last few years, however,
trusts and combinations Of capital, or
ganized to restrict trade and crush
the small dealers, have become 70 dar-
ing, 50 seriously menaclng our form
Of government, that it is highly i'm
portant that some decisive action
should be taken to restrain them. Ii
will be a difficult matter to form a
bill TO throttle trusts and bring them
within the meaning Of the law. Cor
porations organized to transact fair
and legitimate business, with no aim
or intention Of destroying the small
dealer, must be protected. But the
great, powerful, law-breaking monop-
olies who fout their power and their
illegitimate transactions in the faces
Of the public must be grappled with.
The business interests Of the country
must be protected.

An Answered Prayer or Whopper.

Mr.. Thomas, Of Adams creek, who
kept fine hog in pen near his res
idence, went on Tuesday morning to
care for his pet pig, and on going to
the pen found that bear had been
there during the night and carried
the pig away. Mr.. Thomas, to give
expression to his feelings at the loss
Of hi. pig, bowed himself down and in
a very earnest way prayed that the
bear might be choksd to death by the
bones Of the pig. The next day Mr..
Thomas had occasion to visit thick
wood short distance from bis home,
and to his great delight found bruin
stretched out on the ground, dead,
and on making an examination found
that he had attempted to swallow a
hook bone, which became entaDgled in
his throat and choked him to death.
Although Mr.. Thomas regretted the
loss of his fine pet hog, he felt that he
had been amply repaid by the answer
of his prayer.-Neao5ern (N. c. Jour

into the mouth of the offender.
The first course of an elaborate feast
is, when attainable, birds nest soup.
This is almost as great a delicacy as
humming birds tongues. It is not,
as is often supposed, the nest Of the
bird that is eaten. The soup is made
from a mucilaginous secretion that the
bird makes on the outside Of his nest
to hold it together, and which is SINH
lar in appearance and taste to gelatin.
These birds are now becoming rare in
China, and before a high feast boys
are employed days to hunt their where
abouts.
The last course is tea-making. A
most elaborate performance this por-
celain of the finest glaze and decora-
ton is brought and placed before the
hostess. She then in a dainty manner
washes and dries each little piece.
When this is done to her satisfaction
she makes an excuse to leave the room.
The guests then arise in turn and ex-
anime the fneness Of the ware, its
markings, and especially notice if, by
any chance feck of dust should have
been overlooked. When a sufficient
time has elapsed the hostess returns
and the tea-brewing begins. Five
minutes are required for making each
cup. Its delicious aroma appears to
possess a magical effect on the tongues
of the Chinese; for from being morose
lip-smackers they suddenly become
gay and hilarious.
The final ceremony Of the feast IS
to throw all the food that is left under
the table, which the dogs are let in to
devour.

An Odd Oepositor.

The cashier of thriving bank in a
big western town was doing the talk
ing.
When began my carser in the
banking business, he said, 1T was IN
an old established bank in an Ohio
city to which my father had been
elected president. We didn't live in
the town until his election and moved
there when he took charge. After
about SIX months experience I was
made assistant receiving teller, and
between that and my youth, and the
fact that my father was president l
guess ! was about four sizes too large
for the earth. But I got over It, and
one day when there was a lull and
the receiving teller had gone across
the street to look after d check that
ne had taken, popped up to the win
dow and took my first lesson. \
rough-looking old fellow came IN that
l thought was farmer from Uayyl.le
He came straight for me, and sand be
wanted to deposit some money. 1t
wasn't my business to undertake a
new customer, but l thought knew
it all, and began to talk to him. He
said he wanted to deposit cent that
day, but had more. Well, Igaye him
the ha ha then and there, and told
him to run around to the Dime Saw
ings Banks and become depositor on
the installment plan. also said
some more funny things, and after !
had had all the fun there Was he SAID
that while he wished to deposit only
cent that day, he would put in two
cents next day, and four next, and so
on for four weeks. gave him the
laugh again and told him we really
couldn't do a small business like that,
and he must be good boy and run
along to the penny ante bank around
the corner. Then he went away and
l was still laughing when the receIy-
ing teller came back.
Il told him what was making me
smile and he looked at me kind Of
funny, I thought, and went to hgur-
ing on a sheet OF paper without iurth-
er comment. Presently be handed
the paper over to me. That old teI-
low, he said, is a millionaire, whose
business we have been after fora year.
Those figures will show you that what
YOU consider Is penny ante bank
business would have amounted to
something over $4,000 in the four
weeks or twenty-four banking days,
during which he wished to deposit his
money. He's a crank, but he's got
