The Religion of the Twentieth
Century.

As we enter upon the closing year of
this nineteenth century. thinkers who
desire to peep into the future are ask
ing each other what will Mankind do
in the twentieth century,"
A week ago last Sunday Kew. Geo.
Ide of the Grand Avenue Congrega-
tional church, Milwaukee, preached a
sermon on What is to be the charac-
teristic of the twentieth century re-
ligion?" Following this sermon the
Milwaukee Sentinel propounded the
same question to several clergymen of
that city, and their replies appear in
last Sundays Sentinel These replies
are pathetically interesting in the fact
that they indicate that the mind of the
average preacher is absorbed almost
wholly in questions of theology, doc
trine and science as it touches the
religious world. In all of the many
replies of Milwaukee divines published
IN the Sentinel there is only one who
sounds the key note ofwhat the general
student of current history must feel to
be the religion of the twentieth century,
if religion is to continue as factor in
civilized life. Rev. A. A. Kiehle pastor
of the Calvary Presbyterian church
says:
In the coming century the social CON
sciences of the church will be fully
awakened; she will be intensely active
in the Improvement of social conditions
Already the church is emphasizing the
truth that the old gospel is not only the
power of God unto individual salvation,
but also the power of God unto social
salvation. Her mission will be not to
persuade men to escape from world
that is doomed, but to save the world
itself. Nothing that concerns the well
being of man will be a matter of in
difference, her ministry is to sweep the
whole circle of human needs.
Yes, we believe this. Humanity is ex-
pecting that Christianity will during
the twentieth century return to the
example of its founder. 1t is high time.
The world will not wait much longer
for the churches TO take an interest in
human affairs If the churches will not
undertake this work they will have to
step aside But they will undertake. it;
and they will do it. The organization
and influence of the Christian churches
is such vast, compact, and far reach
ing power that when they unite, as they
must, in the advocacy of needed social
reforms they can accomplish any good
thing they take in hand.

BeVeridge.

The camera which is to be invented
to portray mems thoughts will come
too late to reveal the working of Sena-
tor Beveridge's mind while his brother
republican, Senator Hoar, courteously
impaled him. 1t was not much that
the venerable Senator from Massachu-
sets said, uot much;-a rapier thrust
does not take long
Beverage had spent several months
in the Philippines. He had taken pains
to have the fact well advertised in the
newspapers of the country that he had
gone there, that he was travelling there,
that he was picking up information,
and that when he got home the country
should know what Senator Beyeridge,
of Indiana, had found out about the
islands and their inhabitants. Many
were the wiles by which reporters and
correspondents attempted time and
again to have the Indiana senator tell
something of what he had discovered in
the Philippines. The senator would no t
open his mouth for them. Not he.
He would wait, and then, upon the
floor of the u. S. Senate he would de-
liver an grafton such as had never been
heard there before. Yes that he would.
He delivered his Grafton. At the close
OF it there was some mild applause in
the galleries. Then Senator Hoar arose
and declared that he was glad to vel
come the young senator's voice, it was a
good voice; glad also to welcome his
rsgor; his eandor, and his enthusiasm.
But he had listened expectantly and in
vain throughout the three hours speech
for either of those words that are. so
dear to the hearts of true Americans,
liberty, justice, right. Moreover it
was really an unfortunate circumstance
that practically every statement OF
fact made by him concerning condi-
tions and occurrences in the islands is
refuted by governmentreports received
from Admiral Dewey, Gen. Otis and
other American officers"
1t was aludicrous ending of the young
Indiana millionaire's attempt to be-
come famous.

1t is said that the men who tried
to illustrate Dickens works had no
easy time with the writer The novel
ist was eXacting to a degree and he
himself confessed that he was apt "to
build up temples in his mind not
makable with hands" He even is re-
ported to have said that he would have
preferred his works to be unadorned
rather than to be sprinkled with pic
lures, which almost invariably disap-
pointed him. He resorted to writing
out minute directions to his illustra-
tors, going into the smallest details of
the characters and surroundings as he
had them in his minds eye. The
struggle between Dickens and the ar
fists has been characterized as pitiful
in the extreme, for the great painter
In words could never understand why
the men who undertook to picture his
ideas could not better reproduce them.
The povelist's directions to Haflot X.
Browne C'Phiz'D for one of the most
famous "Chuzzlewit" drawings, "The
Thriving City of Eden," were returned
to him by the artist with the penciled
note: IL can't get all this perspective
in unless you allow Of long subject
something less than mile"
In spite of this lack of harmony be-
tween writer and artist it has been
said that Cruickshank and "Phiz" did
much to impart reality to the people
who sprang from Dickens mind.
Dickens general habit was to write his
stories on the iEstallment plan. while
the press waited for him. Thus the
his whims and to furnish the publish
ers with satisfactory pictures from the
monthly sections, drawing from the
incomplete proofs.

Mecca az American Be,epar.

Ten per cent of all the human beings
who die in New York city are buried
in potters field at public expense; but
the records of organized charity, official
and semiofficial, show that less than 1
per cent of the living are paupers or de-
pendent persons, says Popular Science
Monthly. There are two explanations
of the difference between the number
of living poor and penniless dead. The
chief one is that abuse of public char
ity has grown to such proportions that
the city has become the Mecca Of the
chronic idlers and tramps Of the entire
country. 1t is easier for an industri-
Gus and shrewd professional beggar to
live in luxury in New York than to
exist in any other city in the world. No
magic wand of ancient fable was ever
more potent TO unlock the gates of cas-
tie or prison than the name of charity
is to open way to the public treasury.
The liberal and well-nigb indiscrimin-
ate giving of the money Of the taxpay-
ers for the relief of sickness and pow
erty has been commanded by law,

public opinion until the possibility of
checking or reforming the abuse grows
more and more remote as the burden
increases and the evil results multiply.
The city of New York gives annual
II to public charity more than 5000
600, and contributes indirectly $1,000
600 more. OF the money raised by tax
alton for city purposes proper state
taxes. interest and county expenses
eliminated). almost II per cent is prop
erly chargeable to relief Of poverty
and sickness. OF this expenditure
more than s3,000,00O is paid to private
institutions and societies over which
the city authorities have no control or
supervision.

RUSH AT RUTZKY'S.

Samuel Rutzky's store, at the end of
N. Sixth street, has had phenomenal
growth during the past year, his volume
of business reaching over fourteen
thousand dollars. This is the more re-
markable since we know that only four
years ago Mr. Rutzky commenced bust
ness in little store on Grand Avenue
with a net capital of only SlS Mr..
Rutzke has purchased from Charles
Maynard the two lots at the corner of
sixth street and Park Avenue, and be-
fore the lease to his present place ex-

lots to be known as the Four Corner
Store. Rutzke is rusher and q fine

THE Currency bin fastens us to the

In the course of an able editorial on
the political situation in the United
States, Albert Shaw in the Review of
Reviews for January 1900 says:
millions of voters will feel that the
Republican party, as led by its present
chieftains, is too favorable to combina-
tionS of capital, too much inclined
toward large military and naval expen-
diture, too ready to renounee forever
the old American tradition of bimetal-
lism, and too strongly disposed toward
Capitalization, imperialism, outlived
tariff determinations, and entanghng
adventures in diplomacy. 1t must be
confessed that if the business commun-
ity were not so averse to the possibility
of disturbing changes in the none
tary and financial policy that Mr.. Bry-
ans election might involve, the Repub-
lican outlook would be far less brilliant
than it now is"
MI. SnaW is republican, ana more,
he is an Fastener, and still more, a
New Yorker Hence it is quite natural
for him to use the term business men"
when he really means bankers, money
lenders, and stock spectators. These
classes represent the chief business in.
tereStS of New York.
The long and the short of Mr.. Shaw's
opinion seems to be, although he does
not put It in that way, that money car
ries the election when its interests are
involved. That it has done so is true,
and that it will continue to do so until
the voters become better informed than
they have been is probable.

What Tom Cunningham Has to Say

Opera House opening was ex-Sec. Of
State, Tom Cunningham of Chippewa
Fall He is proprietor of the Daily In
dependent of Chippewa Falls and when
he returned home he said some nice
things about Wausau The PILOT Sc
lects as follows from his article.
One of the beauty spots on the Wis
consin river, is the city of Wausau.
When Chippewa County was a part of
the old ninth congressional district, it
was our custom to make it frequent Wis
its and the friendships formed among
its citizens were OF nature to assure
us hearty welcome from the ''old
guard whenever we returned.
Wausau, like Chippewa Falls, was a
lumber town, and was for years head
quarters of the vast lumber industry on
the upper Wisconsin and its tribu
taries. It's growth has not been rapid
but substantial Its citizens made
money. Plumer d Silverthorn's bank
grew from room 7x9 to the First Nat.
bank, splendid granite structure,
and Acknowledged to be the handsom-
est banking house in the Wisconsin val
ley. Other fine buildings are the Mar
athon County bank. and the large and
well arranged wholesale grocery house
of Mr.. August Kickbusch. As these
men accumulated wealth they did not
seek investments elsewhere, but work
ed with energy and enthusiasm to build
thier home city. How well they have
done it is evident to everybody who
spends a day in the city and inspects its
industries, public buildings and hand
some homes.
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1900-01-16

The people of Wausau are so Intens e
~ loyal to their city that they attract
other people to them. Everybody you
meet talks Wausau, and everybody has
a good word for his neighbor If you
are a stranger they invite you to visit
their magnificent court house. They
tell you OF their factories, heirhundred
thousand dollar school house, the public
library, and last but not least the New
Opera House 1t is certainly fine
strueture-the best now in the Wiscon
sin valley AS we looked at its large
audience on Tuesday night, and watch
ed their enthusiasm and pride upon its
completion we were not surprised that
so many people of wealth and without
business interests are content TO live
there.
Wausau pilot. [volume] (Wausau, Wis.) 1896-1940, 1900-01-16

The lumber business is practically
gone, but manufacturers of various
kinds have taken its place. The mater
ial regeneration now in progress has
naturally led to expectations of new
gains in population, and as means to
the end, hopes and wishes for the en-
largement of the local industries is the
cry of every citizen in Wausau. In the
year that has just closed, we were told
that Wausau had expended in buildings
aud improvements of various kinds,
the sum of $500 600 and that there was
not vacant store building or dwelling
in the city With such unmistakable
evidence of increasing vitality, Wausau
ought, and will be in few years, one
of the great and important cities of
Wisconsin.

DR.. Conan DOYLE got his first idea
Of his famous detective, Sherlock
Holmes, from an old professor Of
medicines 1T the Edinburgh universe
ty, says tho New England Home Mag
azine. This man would sit in the pa
tents waiting room with face like
a red Indian and diagnose the people
as they came in, even before they had
opened their mouths. He would tell
them their symptoms and he would
give them details Of their lives. Cen
s;eIGen," he would say to the students
standing about, aim not quite GER
tain whether this man is cork cutter
or a slater. l observe a slight cal
lous or hardening on one side Of his
forefinger and a little thickening on
the outside of his thumb. That is a
sure sign that he is either one or the
other"
His deductions were dramatic.
"Ah,~ be would say to another man,
~you are a soldier, a non-c0mmis-
stoned officer, and you have served in
Bermuda. Now. gentlemen, how did
know thatg He came into the room
without taking of his hat, as he
would 20 into an ordinary room. He
was soldier. A slightly authorita-
tive air, combined with his age, shows
that he was a non-commissioned OIL
Ger. A rash on hi@ forehead tells me
that he was in Bermuda and subject
to certain rash known only there"
