laws of thousand years could do.
They are the great aid to the bank, the
endorscr and the encourager for the
honest man and the prosecutor of the
dishonest, SO long as they are govern
ed by the principles of integrity and
carefulness.
Large trusts, monopolies and combi-
nations are not to the interest of the
individual lawyer or the individual
banker; large aggregations Of business
in the hands and control of large cor
porations destroy, to my mind, the
chances of individual success, lowers
the standard of the professions, and
prevents many young men of talent
and industry from making their mark
for the want of proper opportunities
and the proper return in remuneration
for their labor. Large trusts and mo-
nopolies are founded on the principle
that the strong have right to crush
the weak, which to my mind is un-
Chistian and una merican
The greater security is not thereby
always attained as has been claimed,
but to my mind security is best attain
ed by following the principles of con-
servatism and safety.
We have heard a good deal about
sound money, while we believe in that,
let us have sound principles of right
and justice and sound stock and not
take the sound money Of the individ-
ual for the unsound stock or bond of
the corporation, and let us remember
that while the country may grow rich
er in development of our great natural
resources through the aggregation of
wealth in large corporations and mil
lionaires may multiply; the great hope
of the country and the bulwark of
American liberty is in the individual
citizen as man and the liberty of
every republic has ever been maintain
ed by what is known as the middle
class. the careful, conservative people
of moderate means. who love right and
justice and are not possessed alone Of
the love of power and money.

TRUTHS TO EMPHSIZE.

That he who originates good move
ment in behalf of many people must
have large and unselfish sympa-
thies.
That he who rises above enmities
will win greater trinmphs than he who
hates enemies.
That nothing so unites divided and
discordant people as the common
worship and service of God.
That Gods mercy and kindness
follow men all the years of their will
full wanderings, and wait till they turn
to him in order to bless them.
That one can not be right with God
without being anxious to get right
with men, especially with Gods peo-
pie.
That when faults are to be pointed
out and misfortunes mentioned, it
must be done without vindictiveness
but with desire to win back to Gods
worship.

ENGLISH SPOKEN
AND WRITTEN.

At the recent Postal Congress at
tention was called to the fact that two
thirds of all the letters which pass
through the post offices of the world
are written by and sent to people who
speak English. There are substan-
TALLY 5O0,00O,oo0 persons speaking
colloquially one or another of the ten
or twelve chief modern languages, and
of these about % per cent, or l25 ,O00,,
600 persons, speak English. About
9O,0OO,OOO speak Russian, 75,OOO,OOO
German, So 900 900 French, IS 100000
Spanish, $4,000 900 Italian, y 900 900
Portuguese, and the balance Hungar-
ian, Dutch, Polish, Flemish, Bohemian,
Gaelic, Roumanian, Swedish, Finnish,
Danish and Norwegian. Thus, while
only one-quater of those who employ
the facilities of the postal departments
of civilized governments speak as their
native tongue English, two-thirds of
those who correspond do so in the
English language. This situation
arises from the fact that so large 4
share of the commercial business of
the world is done in English, even
among those who do not speak Eng
lish as their native language. There
are, for instance, more than 10000
post offices in India, the business of
which in letters and papers aggregates
more than 300,000,0 900, parcels year,
and the business of these of offices is
done chiefly in England, though of
India's total population, which is near
ly 3OO,OOO,0O0 fewer than 500, 900 per-
sons either speak or understand Eng
lish.
Though 90,O0O,O00 speak or under
stand Russian, the business Of the
Russian post department is relatively
small, the number of letters sent
throughout the Cars empire amount
ing to less than one-tenth the number
mailed in Great Britain alone is con-
siderably less than one-half of the
population of Russia in Europe. The
Southern and Central American coun-
tries in which either Spanish or Por-
tuguese is spoken do comparatively
little post office business, the total
number of letters mailed and collected
in a year in all the countries of South
and Central America and the West
Indies being less than in Australia.
Chile and Argentina are, in fact, the
only two South American countries
in which any important postal business
is done, and most of the letters receiv-
ed from or sent to foreign countries
are not in Spanish, but in English,
French, German or Italian.

WE THANK THEE, LORD.
BY WILLIAM n. KELLY.

For the manifold gifts and graces
That have fallen to our share,
For the cheer of familiar faces
AS we tread life s thoroughfare;
For the friendships that are unbroken,
The uds that have passed away,
While Thy praise by the land is spoken,
We thank Thee, Lord, to-day.
For the boon Of life and the duties
Each day with its dawning brings;
For the ken of the hidden beauties
Which dwell in the lowliest things;
For that sense OF ourselves which humbles
And checks the condemning word,
By our side when brother stumbles,
We give Thee thanks, o Lord.
For the sp rit which bade defiance
To doubt and encouragement,
For the weakness that placed reliance
In Thee when our strength was spent;
For the aid of those inspirations
Whereby higher our efforts scared,
And the conquest of fell temptations,
We thank Thee bengnant Lord.
For the need of our toll and labor
The gifts of Thy graciOusness;
For that view which discerns neighbor,
In each creature in distress;
For the joys of love and laughter
That banishes care away,
And for faith in the glad hereafter,
We give Thee thanks to-day.

PALM Observation-Disclosures ct
Passion week or Holy week began IN
many of the churches yesterday with
the celebration of Palm Sunday. The
day was rather cool but the attendance
at all the churches was large. Elabo-
rate musical services commemorative
of Christ's triumphal entry in Jerusa
lem on the last Sunday of his earthly
life were held in the liturgical churches,
Us we'll as by many of the nor-liturgl-
cal denominations and the music was
heartily enjoyed by the congregations.
Ia the Catholic church the blessing and
distribution of the palm branches,
which serve as reminder of the wav-
ing of branches by the multitude as
Christ passed along the way, proceed
ed the mass. During the rest of the
service the strips OF blessed palm were
held in the hands of the worshippers.
After the services the worshippers,
carrying their bits of palm in their
hands, mingled on the streets with the
throngs coming from the other churches
In the Episcopal and Lutheran
churches services appropriate to the
dsy were also held, and ministers OF
some of the other denominations made
some reference to the meaning OF the
present week, commemorating the
period when Christ last suffered on
earth before the crucifxioD.

mad no conversation with her regarding
her possessions in Alexandria.
During Judge Norton's testimony he
averred that he, supposing tbs estate
10 be much larger than it was. had uu.
dertaken to suggest some things 10 her
regarding her requests, but he found
her firm IN her conclusions, and, real;z.
ing that she was woman who could
not be moved after she had once made
up her mind, he desisted from any
further observations concerning the
disposition of her property.
1t was twenty-five minutes past thre g
O'Clock when Judge Norton left the
stand.
Judge Nicol announced that during
the trial he would keep the court in
session unril FIVE o'clock each day.
An intermission followed while con.
sultations were in progress with their
respective clients and witnesses.
Mr.. Burke, when the court was call
ed TO order, had Mr.. Henry Danger
field called to the stand. Witness ties.
titled that he was son OF Virginia and
the late Henry Dainfield; that the late
Reverdy Daingerfeld was his uncle.
His father left five children. Witness
was compelled to name all the members
of mis- own and his uucle's family
He was also closely examined as to al
business matters connected with the
family, together with his own personal
history and that of each OF his brothers.
His fathers income at the time of his
death was between 81, 400 and 81 600.
Witness had worked in several capaci-
lies, at one time as machinsts help
or at the Southern Railway shops
at fifty cents q day; later he had
received seventy-iive cents. His part
from his fathers income he turned over
70 his mother. His grandmother, Mrs.
Eliza Daingerfeld, had previously been
tend Of MS mother aud her children.
Later, however, decided hatred on
tie part OF his grandmother was man
ifest. The death of witnesses father
had had decided influence on his
grandmother. The latter was not st
the funeral ceremonies Of neither his
father nor uncle. She had said she
had no further desire TO live.
The witness was asked if his grand
mother had not received a still further
shock by an occurrence in the family,
but objection was raised by counsel on
the other side. There was some Skin
mishing on the part of counsel, and
it being apparent that it would consume
some time in examining the witness ii
was decided to discharge the jury until
ten o'clock tomorrow morning. Argr-
ment on the admissibility OF certain
class of evidence in the case was then
begun.

the city again received its supply from

for a short time Saturday night by the
poor quality of the gas which was
caused by the air which had gotten in
