Would Transport Ingersoll.

Chambersburg, Pa, June 25.-In an
address on THE Utility Of Religion,
at the laying OF the cornerstone Of the
United Brethren Church. at this place,
Bishop H. b. Kephart said it would be
fitting climax to the closing Of the
last decade OF the nineteenth century il
Dol. Robert g. IngersOll could be trans.
ported to the Island Of Borneo, where
there is no civilization.
Bishop Kephart said that without re.
ligiOn there is no civilization, and told
his hearers that any religion was better
than no religion at all. In illustrating
he told Of human beings on the Island
of Borneo who had no speech and nc
civilization because they have no relig
ion. lie said he believed it would bt
the proper thing to happen TO 1.-THE great
infidel" to place him on the island and
let him witness the results Of his OWL
theory.
The Bishop said that Gov Yates, Of
Illinois. had commissioned Ingersoll q
colonel during the civil war. In the
first engagement. he said. lngersoll was
driven into a corral and captured by a
l4-year- old boy. When exchanged. he
added Ingersoll resigned his commits
sion and went to Peoria to take charge
Of whiskey interests, and then wrote

Henry Bradley Plant Dead.

New York, June 22 Henry Bradley
Plant, President Of the Plant system
of railways, steamships, and hotels.
died suddenly yesterday at his home in
this city, of heart disease. The day
before he was at business as usual, bat
early last evening he complaint that
he felt i'll. At first it was thought his
illness was not serious, bat early yes.
terday his illness took turn for the
worse, and in the afternoon he died.
Mr.. Plant was born in Bradford,
Conn, on October 81, 1919. After a
common school education he went to
work for an express company ON a
steamboat line plying between New
York end New Haven. Later he was
connected with the Adams Express
Company. Ia 1859 he went South
with the determination Of starting an
express company. The outbreak Of the
Civil war did not upset his plans He
went to Richmond, Va, and had an
interview with Jefferson Davis and
secured from him the privilege of run
ming his express company through the
lines of the army without hindrance.
The company was known as the Great
Southern Express Company and Mr..
Plant was its president.
While travelling in the interests Of
this company he went to Florida. and
was impressed with the many oppor-
tunities the State presented if the rail.
road facilities were developed. Acting
on this idea he promoted the building
of enormous hotels and the running
of railroads and the formation OF
steamship lines so as to make the hotels
easy of access. The hotel at Tampa,
Fla, one of the largest in the world.
was the first Of these ventures. 1t
proved an enormous success and i'm.
mediately Mr.. Plant began the erection
of others He also developed many of
the small towns of Florida and the
present prosperous condition Of the
State is due largely to his efforts. In
1879 he secured control Of the Plant
system of railways and steamships.
with an aggregate Of more than 1000
miles OF track In addition to the
Plant lines Of steamships, Mr.. Plant
was the President Of the Canadian
Atlantic Steamship Company. Mr..
Plant was married twice. There was
one child by his first marriage, Nor.
ton f. Plant. who is the first vice
president of the Atlantic system.

Of all these plans has been knocked in
the head by the fact that the war is
continuing and the LEGAL regiments .,

mastered out on the Pacific Coast so
that they will return. not as military

The complaint that the Northwestern

in the general desire that, being now
immersed i'll the thing, we shall make
the best possible speed in getting out
of 1t by striking one hard blow from

What seems to trouble them most is the
idea Of confusing war policy ana a
peace policy by sending troops to fight
and at the same time group Of clti-
zens to discuss terms for ending the
fighting.

On the 18th Of November next a statue
will be erected by the SueZ Canal Com.
pany to De Lesseps, to celebrate the
thirtieth anniversary of the opening of
the canal. The holders of the canal
stock have reason to celebrate. The
canal in 1898 earned 81, 900, 600 francs
or IL, 299, GOO more than in 1897. The
dividends are immense and are growing.
OF the 3. SOB vessels Of 9,23S. 900 tons
that traversed the canal, 1895 were
English ships, 355 German, 221 French.
1913 Dutch, So Austrian, "a Italian, "a
Turkish and American. Only steam
ers use the canal, the winds not favor
ing the approach Of sailing vessels.
The same disadvantage will attend the
Nicaragua Canal. While the SueZ
Canal lies between thickly settled con-
tinents, the Nicaragua Canal will lie
between wide oceans. The former has
had no railroad competition. and will
have none till the Transsiberian Rail-
way is completed. but the Nicaragua
Canal will find 10 transisthmian and
transoontinental railways its competi-
tors for traffic.
