! which met our eyes within the fort was
horrible one. Ten thousand men, as
/ was afterWard told, both Russians and
French, lay dead within an inclosure OF
two or three acres, the result Of an
hour Or two of mutual stabbing
and shooting. Not one, not even the
youngest, could avoid the reflection,
that probably but few of these unfor-
tunates knew what the quarrel was
about in which they had sacrificed their
lives. This, and the scenes in the
trenches through which / passed that
day, gave me disgust for war which,
during the 40 years that have elapsed,
l have never ceased to express when
ever an opportunity offered. The doc
trine of the Inheritance of qualities,
which now plays so large a part in the
discussions of modern publicists con-
corning the course of history, inevita-
bly, suggests that the fighting instinct
which lies latent in the breasts of even
the most civilized peoples must be a
legacy from countless generations Of re-
mote ancestors, who even after the
dawn of consciousness, must have fol-
lowed rapine and the murder of strang
ers as their daily occupation. 1t is in
these things in reality that war consists
in spite of the efforts of the more civil
lied nations to disguise 1t by fine names,
and to get God mixed up in it. The pas
sion for it, and interest in it, felt even
by the more cultivated members of the
human race could hardly be as strong
as they still are had they not been
infused into the blood by countless
generations Of savage forefathers. 1t Is
a most humiliating thought that man
Is the only animal that rejoices in the
destruction of it's fellows. The exter-
minating powers of all the others are
spent on allied breeds. Some French au-
thor, think one of the LIE Maistres,
has pictured to himself the possibility
of 10000 cats doing what men do, meet
ing in large plain, and one half
scratching and biting the other half to
death. Should we caress the survivors
as we do human heroes, and increase
their allowance Of cream? Within 20

| ical conceptions of the man. Here in a

phasize the educational side of our re-

rive inspiration from the life of the
man. The key of the whole life of
Moody was his child-like. unwavering
trust in the Almighty and his belief in
the power of prayer"
DR.. Watson L. Phillips, pastor of the
Church of the Redeemer, the next
speaker, said that the large audience
present attested the fact that religion
was not failing so much as has been
said. He said it was typical Moody
audience that gathered there and he be-
lieved that to-day, in spite of the criti-
cal spirit of the times and the drifting
away from the religion of Jesus Christ,
the man who Is not afraid to say what
he thinks is right will be listened by
the people. Mr. Moody, he said, was
undoubtedly the most impressive exam
pie of tn spirit-led man. In spite OF
his early education he was one of the
most remarkable men in America.
There are few men in the American
church to-day, he said, who can find
way go straight to the American heart
and pocketbook. He was one of the
greatest leaders that America had pro-
duced during the century.
The Rev. Mr.. Ferris, pastor of Cal
vary Baptist church, followed DR.. Phil
lips He spoke for the most part of the
oneness of Moody's character. Moody,
he said, did not add much to the worlds
store Of knowledge, but what he did
makes him stand out among the giant
characters of the century.
The last speaker was the Rev. Alex
ander F. Irvine of the Y. M. G. A, who
closed the meeting in true Moody fash
ion, as he stated, by exhorting those
present to enter into their church life
anew and with newer and stronger
feeling. He said: II want to appeal to
the feeling of all of you to say to your
selves, God helping, I'll go back to my
church and hold up my hands and stand
by my pastor and deacons as memo
rial to Dwight L. Moody That" said
the speaker, 'is the kind of religion the
world wants=-a religion that has in it
the true Moody spirit"

BILLIONS OF. STORED EGGS.
The Result Of an Attempt by Packers
to Corner the Market.

The Result Of an Attempt by Packers
to Corner the Market.
One of the most peculiar situations in
regard to the egg supply even known
exists in the United States to-day. The
situation is the result of storing eggs
in an attempt to control the market.
There are liable to be two resultsN One
is that the people of the country will
have cold storage eggs foisted upon
them as the newly-laid product. The
other is that the people who attempted
to corner" the market will suffer heavy
losses.
The beginning of the "cornering'' ef-
fort dates back to last summer. At
that time, it is said, the Chicago pack
ers evolved the scheme Of buying up all
the eggs that could possibly be gather
ed together and storing them until the
supply became scarce. AS is usual in
shemes, it was anticipated that the
scarcity would send the price sky high
Then the stored eggs we've to be I'M
loaded on the warket and a fortune was
to be made for the packers. 1T is fig
ured that 100000 cases, each case con-
tanning thirty dozen eggs were stored
away. To the industrious hen, whose
capacity for one egg a day, this is an
exceedingly large amount.
The scheme to control the market fell
through. There was no call for the
stored eggs and the packers began to
lie awake O. nights thinking. At pres
emit the hens are beginning to lay fresh
eggs. These are coming into the mark
ct and no one wants the stored eggs.
A little figuring will show how enor-
nous the loss will be. There are 100000
gases of eggs, or 100000 dozen, stored
throughout the country These were
bought up at 15 cents dozen. The
present price of eggs a dozen outside
of Cleveland is on an average four cents
a dozen than the price at which the
stored eggs wer bought. This will
mean a loss of about $S,400,000 to the
packers. 1t is conjectured that there
are 5000 cases of stored eggs in this
city. The loss here will also be very
large.
1t is reported that the packers in this
have way out of the dilemma.
1t is said that next summer when the
eggs are shipped here from outlying
towns the stored eggs will be mixed
with fresh ones and that In that way
the old product will be sold to the un-
public Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
