No Such Offer Received.

Philadelphia, Jan. 21.--A member Of
the Nicaragua canal commission now
IN this city, was this evening shown the
Cleveland dispatch, containing the in
terview with Civil Engineer LIE Baron.
in which the latter claims the discov-.
cry of route for the Nicaragua canal
much shorter and which would cost
$22,OO0,O00 less than the route now un-
der consideration by this government
The commissioner expressed himself
averse to discussing the statements cf
Mr.. LIE Baron. He was of the opinion
that the commission would not care to
be involved in controversy with an
individual, and he himself was loatil to
open up such discussions. On being
further pressed regarding Mr.. LIE Ba-
ron's statement that he had off fered
to go to Washington and lay before
the commission the route of which he
had knowledge, the commissioner said
that no such offer had ever been re-
ceived from the Cleveland engineer.

THE GREATEST PROBLEM
Elevation of the Masses Consid-
cred by Mr.. Goodfriend.
Ut DEMANDS A SOLUTION
The Unrest Of Our Times Is Sign of
Progress-Men Beginning to Feel
the Touch of the New King
dom Of God.

Rev Mr.. Goodfriend of the Emmanuel
ing to large audience on the subject of
the elevation of the masses. He said:
1.-THE greatest problem of the twentieth
century will be the elevation of the mass
es. In the preceding ages the humanity
existed for the privileged petted individ-
uals seated upon lofty thrones They
were the great ones on earth; at the
voice of their command armies moved
forward fike savage men to massacre and
destruction. The masses were simply
tools to obey the dictates of tyrants. But
In modern times the grand idea of hui
manity and human rights, the Importance
81 a man in the worlds progress, the ele-
walton Of the masses. are problems slowly
coming to the front for solution.
I'VE are beginning to see that the great
end of government is not to crush man
hood, not even to make man tool or
machine for some great corporation, but
to develop high type of a citizen. one
who shall possess intellectual and moral
qualifications for the duties devolving on
him as a citizen of a great commonwealth
living in the greatest era of the worlds s
history. Men are looking for clearer
light The unsettling and unrest Of our
times is not a sign of stagnation, but of
progress. Men are beginning to think
that they are in a great world epoch.
They are beginning to feel the touch Of
the new kingdom of God.
'"Tne great aim of all is to establish an
aristocracy, not founded on birth, or ed
ucation, or manners, but of character 1t
Is to establish an ideal state, to elevate
men to a higher moral level to secure
equal rights to all, and especially to sur
round every home with environments in
which education and Christian living
shall be possible. How shall this be ac-
complished? What are the methods pro-
posed? How shall we procee- to help
bring in the kingdom of God? These
questions are important and our time
will not be wasted in spending this hour
with a prayer in our hearts that we
might know the Way, the Life and the
Truth
First comes the proposition of the So
cialist. and I confess now, that while
do not believe in all forms of socialism,
and while do not believe that it has
power to elevate. purify and refine So
ciety, that there is, nevertheless much in
best thought. There are many open and
fragrant laws which socialism decries
with which l am in sympathy.
1t is a mistake for cities to grant val
liable franchises for slight compensation
and to legally bind city for all time

A BIG COPPER COMBINE.
The Standard Oil Company Will
Engineer the Deal.
TO ADVANCE THE PRICE
Interests Having slooooo,ooo of Capt.
tai Invested in Copper Mines Have
the Plan Under Consideration.
Montana and Michigan.

Lake Michigan and Montana copper
interests, representing s100,000,00o of
capital invested in copper mines. have
been for few days past, in New York,
considering the proposition of forming a
copper combination of gigantic propor-
tions. The full details of the combina-
ton are not yet given out. A. S. Bige-
low of the Boston & Montana, and
Levy Mayer, representing Lake Supe-
rior interests, are engineers of the deal.
1t is practically assured that with the
exception of the Anaconda mines, those
of the Ontonagon district of Michigan,
few small ones in Utah and Arizona,
and possibly the Calumet and Hecla, all
the important mines of the country are
going into the syndicate, the financial
head of which will be represented by
the Standard Oil company's financiers.
The mines affected by the deal are
reported to be the Boston & Montana,
the Butte & Boston, the Old Dominion
of Arizona and the Arcadian, Tamar-
ack, Osceola and Quincy of the Hough-
ton district, Michigan. Persistent ru-
NOR has included the Centennial, the
Franklin, the Wolverine and the Te-
cumseh in the deal, and it is believed
that if they do not appear in the first
list issued by the new corporation they
will soon after that time.
The object of the combination is, of
course, control of the copper output of
this country and better management of
copper mines through one head over all,
rather than diversity of heads. The
time is considered propitious for cop
per combination, since the output for
1899 is expected to exceed that of 1898
by 10 per cent. in this country, and the
Montana mines are supposed to have
finally reached their full limit of pro-
duction
The total copper output of the United
Stains for 1898 was 5S3,14 S97 fine
pounds. OF this 1856, ,942 900 pounds came
from Lake Superior, 229 900 pounds
from Arizona These three regions
produced all but S4,000,OOO pounds of the
copper mined in the United States in
1898. Still further, of this sum total
the Anaconda syndicate produced 112,-
| 100000 pounds, or less than one-fourth
The mines which the Standard Oil syn
dicate expects to control produced over
125,000,000 pounds in 1898 or about one
fifth of the total copper production Of
the whole country. 1a
OF the mines which they expectto con.
troll Boston s. Montana produced 60,000,-
900 pounds; Butte & Boston, no figures
given; Old Dominion, no figures given;
Tamarack, 21,50O,000 pounds; Osceola
12,000,000 pounds; Quincy, 00(

should come from the public schools. We
need revolution in our ideas of educa-
| tion Education is not altogether so
much arithmetic. geography and di-
| ploma-these things are of great import
| ance but the greatest thing in education
which is charaeter-b building, must not be
| neglected.
I'VE want teachers in our public
schools who possess character as well as
certificates. 1t Is not enough to teach our
boys and girls to read and write; ii We
only teach material things and neglect
character building, neglect that which
makes noble man and woman. the pub
lie school is hardly worth the brick and
mortar which make up it's building. The
crying shame of the present age Is first
of all to be found in the management of
our schools, where teachers are employed
without regard to moral character and
where politics play havoc with things.
The time is coming when the public
school will be looked upon as one of the
sacred places of earth and the teacher,
like the minister of the gospel. will have
to be man of pure life and lofty char
acter. The public school will yet become
a mighty agency for the elevation of the
masses.
1.-The next great agency for the same
purpose will be found in the church. The
work of the church is not to save the
soul; Christ did not come so much TO
save men from a literal hell. from penal
fires, from future punishment He came
rather to unite the soul to God, to be a
light in a. world of darkness. The mis-
sion of the church is of supreme import
ance. 1t is to insist that tins life is but
the forecourt and preparation for another.
1t is to teach that power of wealth. of in
tellect, is to Bear We one anothers bur-
dens.' 1t is to instil great consideration
of the capitalist for the laborer and the
laborer for the capitalist. 1t is to teach
sympathy, friendship, brotherliness, to
cement the rich and poor in the bonds
of fraternity 1t is to be a healing power
in the world In the church there must
not be social ostracism and recognition.
There must not be special honor to the
rich, to the woman with a sealskn
sacque and diamond ring, and hardly
good morning to the one poorly clad.
The church must remember that God
looks at the heart and that the widows
mite may be owned of God and blessed as
the millonaire's ten thousand dollar
check. The church must also teach that
wealth is a trust. What the rich need to-
day Is not more mines, more senatorial
honors. more factories, but more of the
grace of God. They need to remember
that they will not be able to take with
them a dollar into the life to come. The
church is a society to help men in the
present life as well as for the future.
1.-THE church must not be Indifferent to
the cry of the poor, to the wrongs and
sins of the age. Her influence should
ever be to help the fallen, the poor, to
create better conditions. to give it's best
effort for the welfare of humanity"

First will be $40: second, s25; third SIS,
ana fouth, SO; spare prize will be so, and
average prize will be $40 Tho entry
fee will be $40 per team. This should
prove a good event as there are a great
many more chances for a team of thre
men than for a team Of two men, and
in this event there is not likely to be such
a combination of great strength as there
is In two men teams. Selnow means to
push the game TO the limit this rear. He
will have some kim of a tournament in
progress all the time In addition to the
usual special features. The big tourna-
ment will be rolled on alleys three and
four. Every thing possible win be done
to keep the interest and enthusiasm up
to the top notch and Selnow deserves
credit for his efforts in behalf of the
game.
