take away the snippings, which he in
closed in envelopes. These packets, with
the letters of Bismarck's valet asking
him to attend his master, and his own
declaration Of the facts upon oath, were
duly deposited with a notary at Rein
beck, who attests their reception and
safe keeping. 1t is proposed to enshrine

THE ORPHEUM LICENSE.

The Orpheum liquor license bust
ness seems to be on par with the
numerous peculiar things turned out
by the Executives 1t appears that
at the first discussion, the Cabinet
was divided. Cooper and Damon
favored the license and Mr.. Dole
and Mott-Smith were against it. The
matter was then left to decision
from Marshal Brown. He reported
in favor of the license, with the re-
suit that the promoters of the COM
pany, believing that the report from
the police department would be ac-
cepted, expended considerable
money to prepare for the new order.
The objection was then raised, by
the opponents of the license in the
Cabinet, that the place would not
be properly conducted. This was
met by guarantee from such men
as c. s., Desky, N. P. Robinson,
Edgar Ha!stead and H. N. Won Holt
that the place would be properly
conducted. Now the license is re-
fused whether or no. If the Orphe-
um were hot bed of sin and vice,
the public might be able to accept
the decision of the Cabinet. Under
the circumstances, the decision ap.

Edward Everett Hale
and PreSbyterianS

AT the recent Unitarian Conference
held in Washington, ID. c. DR.. Everett
Hale discussed, with deep interest, the
question why Unitarianism had not
swept over the country.
lie thought that no nominally Unita-
rians were few, yet actually the Unita-
rian spirit had penetrated and pervad-
ed every religious community on the
continent. He said that Unitarians
had shaken the tree while other demo-
limitations had picked up the fruit. He
explained that Unitarianism had not
become more formidable institution
because. of individualism among Uni
tarians. Three Unitarians cannot
come together anywhere on the CONT
nent," said he, humorously without
having two of them sit down and dis
pute about the proposition the third
wished 10 adopt Unitarian tracts,
declared Dr. Hale, only go into doc
trine. They do not attack institutions
which are the chains.
DR.. Hale vigorously attacked what
he termed want of candor in the pulpit
of today. He quoted Prof. Jewett, who
said that he had lived in Cambridge
fifteen years and had not been into a
church where one man had said what
he believed. IL don't mean,to say that
all preachers are liars, my dear
friends" commented Dr. Hale. II only
say that they lack candor. And that is
the whole truth. The people, not the
people of fashion or of what the Eng
lish call the upper class, but the wage
earners, simply do not believe the
| ministers. The laboring men of the
country distrust the churches. Eccles-
iasticism has managed to give the min
| listers and the churches very bad
name. Churches care more for organ
| iZation than they do for the cause of
Jesus Christ. don't say there is no
freedom in the Presbyterian church,
for instance. but do say that its pres
ent government, Is so tyrannical that
1t breeds aristocracy and autocracy.
| Men far advanced in that church can
say and do say what they please. but a
young clergyman just out of a heologi-
cal seminary does not and cannot with
impunity utter the same sentiments.

terrain clergyman question. | said

The Objects That It's Promoters Have

Mention has been made in these col
umns of the recent formation Of a
Bookkeepers' club in this city which
has now completed it's organization,
and is pleased to claim among it's MEM
bership a number of very prominent
tOokkeepeTs. accountants and office
men, the fact that the club has received
the endorsement of the proprietors and
members of great business concerns,
argues most favOrably for it's large and
continued success. Plans are now be-
ing perfected for the club to enjoy ad-
dresses from prominent public account
ants whose vocation has caused them
to be striking features as witnesses in
great civil and criminal law cases. also
with lawyers who can entertaininEly
describe many happenings Of interest
wherein the science of bookkeepers and
accountants have played important
parts. Already the club has received
applications from leading local busi-
ness houses to furnish -Jmpetcnt men
to fill DUsitiJas.
AS the objects of the club are bent
toward Improvement and social good
fellowship of this very large and impor-
! tant class of our citizens, and there be-
ing absolutely no flavor or taint of
union as against employer. or of poll
ties, the membership Of the club will
no doubt be largely recruited at a very
early date. A meeting will be held
