COAT OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
Mrs. Mason Talked About 1t In Her
Sermon last Night.

Mrs. Lena Mason preached last night
from the text: 81 have put my coat off;
how shall I put it on?" 1t was one Of
the most eloquent sermons ever preached
in Wichita, and the large audience was
wrought by the speakers power Mrs.
Mason iikened the coat spoken of in the
text to the coat of righteousness and dwelt
in this connection on both the wisdom
and mistakes of Solomon.
Solomon prospered," size said, land his
wisdom was the wonder OF the world as
long as he wore the coat Of righteousness.
Some of his wives brought him silver, some
brought gold, some brought precious stones
and so on, and when he had got seven
hundred wives and became the weaIthiest
man in the world, he took off the coat,
after which his prosperity and wisdom
dwindled. Sickness came to his household.
pestilence came to his people. kings threat
ened him with war, and all his power and
prestige seemed to forsake him. He had
surely taken off the coat and knew not
how to put it on.
'If a man begin the building of a house
in Wichita and he be poor he will proba-
bly, set the house on posts. He is not able
TO put it on a stone foundation. but after
a while when he gets able he will have
the house raised and build a stone foun-
dalton under it. 1t IS sometimes that way
with sermons. Tonight 1 shah have to go
away back to creation to get foundation
for this sermon.
These scientists try to tell Us when
the world first began 10 grow, and why.
I say to you that I know just exactly
when the world was made-God made It
when he got ready And I know as much
about it as anybody. Some folks try to
guess 1t out, but don't. 1 know this book
tells the truth. No guess work about It,"
The evangelist reviewed in a most in
teresting and graphic manner the story
of the creation, referring most beautifully
to many of the principal stages of Gods
creative work.
The last thing God made was man.
The angels whom he made before the
earth was thought Of had heard of this.
and they Immediately became interested.
We viii suppose they held a council They
elected chairman and secretary. and i'm
mediately began to plan as 10 what they
should do about Gods latest creation, for
they were vitality interested. They ap-

SCARCITY OF SMALL BILLS
Is Explained by United states Treas
urer Ellis III. Roberts,

New York, April 2S-United States Treas
urer Ellis H. Roberts, who is on a bust
ness trip to this city, in talking last
night Of the scarcity of bills of small de-
nominations throughout the country, said;
This lack of small bills is due in some
parts of the country TO the fact that the
bankers don't take the trouble TO send in
their bills of large denominations and get
small ones in exchange. This is the case
nearly everywhere, except in the larger
citis of the east and in the northwestern
states. In the northwest there has been
such wave of prosperity during the last
two years that the bankers and merchants
have had no occasion TO send their money
east, as they did in previous years. They
are rich enough TO keep their money at
home. There was a lack Of small bills
in this city up to few months ago, but
now the bankers, merchants and business
men Of every kind have all the small bills
they want. The revenue stamps on checks
have probably had something TO do with
bringing into more general use the smaller
bills. The reason we cannot issue the
smaller bills as fast as the bankers want
them is because we are restricted by law.
The law allows US to issue only 1916, 600
in United States notes, and the silver GER
tifcates are restricted by the number OF
standard dollars held in the treasury. We
are now printing only small bills and have
a big supply on hand, but cannot issue
them because Of the restrictions / have
mentioned. SO the only recourse for the
banks tina twant small bills is to send in
large bills in exchange for them. Although
there is a shortage Of small bills in circu-
lation, the treasury was never richer IN
funds than it is at the present time.

OvERSHADOWED BY CROKER
Tom Reed and Sir Julian are just No
HEIGHT at All

New York, April 26.-Richard Croker
sailed for Europe today aboard the Amer
lean line steamship New York. Save for
his sister, Mrs Warren. Mr.. Croker was
unaccompanied. When the Tammany chief
reached the pier, half an hour before the
big liner pulled out of her berth, he was
met by a party of friends who had come
down to say bon voyage" Mr.. Croker
was all smiles and he nodded pleasantly
to as many as caught his eye. Then,
flanked by his immediate advisers, ne
moved toward the gang plank. In a min
ute he had made the ascent and stood on
the main deck. There was hurried move
ment by the waiting politicians, who fol-
lowed up the incline, which strained IN
der the load. Mr.. Croker was soon pressed
on all sides and finally found his posi-
ton so uncomfortable that he FASTENED
into the main saloon. The crowd behind
followed until he stood at the foot of the
stairway leading to the upper deck Up
these went Mr.. Crocker quickly, his friends
and political adherents right ON his heels
When the promenade deck was reached he
was again surrounded, and the reception
that followed appeared to give immense
satisfaction to the departing Tammanyite.
As the time for the sailing OF the ship
grew near, the crush on the deck, where
Mr.. Croker was holding his levee, became
so great that It was with difficulty that
one could even elbow his way to the cen
trail figure. Hundreds of hands were
thrust in front of Mr.. Croker and he
grasped as many as possible. The ship
appeared to be alive with men and women.
The saloon passenger list contained some
500 namesi and their friends, combined
with the assemblage Of politicians. made
one Of the biggest brushes experienced on
a departing liner in many a day.
Arriving at Southampton Mr. Croker will
proceed directly to his place at Vantage,
where he has his racing horses. Speaking
OF his stables, Mr.. Croker said: y can't
tell now just what I shall DO in the racing
line, until I reach England. have about
% or . horses. six of which are yearlings.
I have not settled anything yet about
engagements for the big events, except

a Guthrie date stating that Augusta was
out for removal of the county seat from
Alva to that point, and that a big fight

Kansas City paper has a similar article,

misleading. While there are few agi-

Washington, April 26.-The board con-
vened by a special order 10 examine and
report on the responsibility for the loss
of 100000 pounds of refrigerated beef sent
TO Porto Rico last summer submitted its
report and findings. The beef was shipped
on the transport Manitoba from Swift &
Co.. in Chicago and Kansas City. The
board finds as follows:
That the beef was good and fit for issue
upon its arrival at the port of Ponce, Aug
ust 10, 1888; was reported TO the proper
military authorities, and that this condi-
ton continued after the release Of the
Manitoba from the reef on August A. 1898,
although there is reason to believe that
the refrigeration was not satisfactory dur
ing that interval.
That notwithstanding the time and Ia
Dor involved in unloading troops and ami
mails from the Manitoba and in cleaning
the ship up to and Including August Is,
1898 due and proper effort was not made
70 issue this beef to the accessible troops
between that date and August %, 1898, the
date of the departure of the Manitoba from
Mayague.
That this lack Of effort was in the ma
ture Of an acquiescence in the arrange
ment already locally sanctioned for the
purchase Of native beef but lay primarily
in the lack Of controlling authority in the
head Of the subsistence department in
Ponce, under the difficulties attending a
new military situation.
That both at Mayaguez, August Is to
81, and at Ponce, between the date Of the
return OF the Manitoba, August 81, to her
departure for New York, September 7,
proper effort was made for the issue Of
this beef, and the meat was, in the opin-
ION of the board. stin fit for issue
THAT the meat had not been subjected
TO any chemical process whatever for its
preservation.
That the loss Of this beef was due to
several causes: Possible deterioration
while the refrigerator plant was interrupt
ed or disturbed, August 10 10 August IL;
exposure 10 high temperature from the
time Of loading on the transport to the
date OF issue at Mayaguez, and after: i'm
proper handling and faulty protection after
issue; deficient transport to troops: preiu-
dice against its appearance under unfa-
mihar conditions and delay A month
elapsed since the beef was dressed before
It reached Mayasuez, when for the first
time, issues were made. each day adding
10 tn difficulties
Finally. the distribution to the troops
was such that, under the circumstances,
great loss was inevitable in the absence
Of any refrigerator at ports of entry.
That the United States is responsible
for the loss. The board is aware of an
average wastage in refrigerated beef-a
loss properly chargeabIe 20 the contractor
but the board is unwilling to fix an arbi-
trsry figure for such q shipment as that
