decidedly favorable impression during the
first week of the summer opera season;

for pretty costumes and elaborate scenic

Sir William writing was in relation to the strange circumstances connected with the first inspiration of the famous hymn. Rock of Ages Cleft for Me The story which has just been brought out by Sir William in his own words Is as follows: During the reading of some old documents recently l came across a statement in regard to Top lady's inspiration for his famous hymn which seems to prove that the original Rock of Ages is in Harrington Goombe. which is on the edge of my place, and after careful investigation of the mat ter l am satisfied that the story is true in every particular. It appears that one day the distinguished author was caught in a heavy thunderstorm in Harrington Goombe, and there taking shelter, between two massive piers of our native limestone rock, he penned his famous hymn that has immortal ized him" In all England there Is probably no more beautiful. weird, or romantic spot than Harrington Coombe "a deep indenture in the dark swell ing hill known as Black Down. which, rising to the height Of HOO feet. forms the summit Of the MendiD Range.

FRUSTS AND THE LAWS.


 In his defense of the Texas a1ti- crust law of which he is the author, N. Dudley G Wooten shoots thIs arrow into President Florence of che American Law League. who at- tackled the measure lately at meet ing of trust magnates and trust lawyers at Asbury Park.
 IL seems the league holds the Texas statute to be unconstitutional but MT. Florence does not point out why or wherein the law is ob= aoxious to the constitution. Trusts are always Of the opinion that any asw attended to curb their iniquities za bound to be unconstitutional. To them constitutions have no other reason for existence except to protect corporate power aud con aentrated wealth
 This is in line with the Republics contention that the political menace of the trusts is far more serious than their commercial interference with competition.
 Class legislation has called them into life and enabled them to multi. ply and combine their profits far beyond tue ratio of increase that comes of the honest processes of competition and accretion. With proud presumption they invade the legislatures and Congress with organized lobbjes, skilled to use whatever temptation may suffice for the procurement of fayoriug or 6he defeat of restraining laws.
 Whenever laws are passed to put | check on their avarice, trusts go 5ute the courts, equipped with the aeat legal talent that money can hire, aud employ all the resources oi intellect to establish the plea oi anconstitutiona6tY.
 Should tue courts prove t00 wise and too upright, the trusts can go into the election field, where legis- lators and Congressman are made and by using the corrupdng power -sg wealth aud such coercion as they are able to exert by reason of hold ing in their bands the means ol givlihood of voters. secure majority of lawmakers phant to their wishes, 6o repeal what is hostile to trusts in legislation and to pass whatexpands their opportunity for extortion.
 None has ever raised his voice thus far to extol or defend trusts except trust beneficiary or trust Eackey.-St. Louis Republic.
