SHELDON'S MISTAKE.
1t Is Pointed Out by the Rev.
DR.. Parkhurst.

New York, April I'm his sermon
last night at the Madison Avenue Pres
byterian church, DR.. Parkhurst referred
to the experiment of the Rev. Mr.. Shell
don as editor of the Topeka Daily Cap
ital He said:
"One reason why men suppose that
the gospel can not be closely applied in
common life is their failure to under
stand exactly what its precepts intend
the point Christ aimed at in the enun-
citation of those statutes, at least some
of those statutes.
Secular papers as a rule have been
nervously, and in some instances fever
iShly, interested in that unique enter
prise, and their restlessness has at
times betrayed them into modes of
scripture exposition that were probably
the best they were capable of, but that
disclosed novel views of the gospel idea,
and that went a great way toward dem
onStrating the fact that even if Mr..
Sheldon was not competent to conduct
a daily secular paper in the way Jesus
would, it was as a great pity that some
body could not be found pretty soon
that could.
1.-The feature in the case that com
mends itself to the church and the
world is the underlying principles in
VOlved, not the special application of it
that happened at Topeka. The supreme
question that you and are concerned
with is the matter of treating Christs
precepts as practical statutes to be
adopted into our Workaday hfe-adOpt-
ed there. put in control there, not in
journalism merely, that is only thing
and we are not many of US journalists,
but in everything.
sheldon had a good deal to say
about doing things as Jesus would do
them. There is a suggestion about that
phrase although in his mouth it was
not cant, but it was infelicitous, it gave
opportunity to the ungodly to revile.

Jesus touches in an unpleasant way
the spot where we keep our sense of the
Holy. Why not have said exercising in
everything we de-editing, ploughing

Jesus exercised in what he did, and then
everything would turn on finding out as
accurately and nicely as possible just
what that spirit was

Joseph Jefferson Discusses Methods
of the Younger Actor.

Atlanta, Ga, April 2.-Joseph Jeffer-
son, who has been playing to immense
audiences here today, was in a. capital
humor and discussed many topics of in
terest to the profession. In some man
ner the conversation took turn in the
direction of Richard Mansfield and the
great actor had something interesting
to say about the younger one, who has
during the last few years made such
name for himself. Mr. Jefferson said:
Mansfield, I think is clever at times,
but at others quite artificial. His in
tensity, however. is marked and it at
tracts me. He over-aets and of course
that disturbs me, because it wakens in
me the thought that I would not play
the part that way, but be quieter, more
conservative at such times. His over
acting probably springs from intensity
and time may give more artistic con-
troll. Still, as I said before, Mansfeld's
intensity is attractive

Roger and George, of police station No.

whence he was sent to police head
quarters.
McKimm was seen at police head
quarters by a reporter and refused to
talk of the matter. He was in consul
tation with Attorney Fyke. who adj
vised him to say nothing. He refused
to say whether he had shot his brother
in-law. whether he had been at the
house yesterday at all, or whether he
knew DR.. Shaw or not. He did not ap-

McKimm is about % years old, and
has been employed by his brother. E.
NJcKimm, a lawyer in the American
Bank building, collecting accounts for
him. He is unmarried. The theory that
he is demented arises from the fact
that in the summer of 1898, in Van
dalia, Mo-, he tried to commit suicide
by shooting himself in the head. The
bullet put out his right eye, but did
no further injury.

FITZGERALD QUESTIONS.
Democratic Congressman to Call on
Secretary Gage For Facts.

Washington, April Representative
Fitzgerald has prepared a resolution
calling on Secretary Gage for the names
of the banks that have been handling
government funds in Porto Rico, Cuba.
Hawaii and the Philippines and the
banks that will probably be selected by
him as government repositories in those
islands if the Sibley bill, which is said
to be backed by the National City bank
of New York and kindred institutions,
should become a law.
The Sibley bill was reported to the
house il an amended form after ex-
posures showing that the measure was
prepared at the instigation of Standard
Oil financiers, who were plotting to con-
troll all of the monetary affairs of the
islands, amounting annually to Sill, OO0,-
600.
1T is time that it should be known
who is handling these government
funds said Mr.. Fitzgerald, "and an eff
fort is going to be made to bring the
whole matter before congress. The
enormous interest profits that can be
made out of government funds handled
by the banks selected by Mr.. Gage
should not go into the pockets of a trust
that is already rich enough to control
the Republican party. The matter is
one that should be Investigated by con-
greSS,"

HAD A GAY WEEK.
Young Swell From Dixie Spent
$4,000 Seeing Gotham
Sights.

New York, April 2.-Malon Walton
Russell, scion of a prominent southern
family. has come to grief in New York
after a spasm of sightseeing that car
ried everything before it.
Russell is a son of Col Fleming Rus
sell of Louisiana, a salt mine operator
and partner Of ex-State Senator Miles,
the millionaire mining operator of New
Orleans.
Young Russell was employed in the
Cotton Exchange there and was con-
tented with life until one day he won
5000 on a horse race. In two weeks he
won $21, 900.
Then Russell packed his trunk and
came to New York. He left New Or
leans on Feb %, losing 81 900 at poker
en- route. Jumping into a cab he drove
TO the Waldorf and took rooms at SIS a
day. He wanted to be shown to a
swell club house. Cabman Hennessy
drove him to Canfeld's resort and Rus
sell played faro until 5 o'clock the next
morning. He left the place $1,000 loser.
II the evening Russell did the tender
loin and three nights in the Haymarket
cost Russell $500 and a collection of
Jewelry.
The next night he ran afoul of some
Boubrettes. Then his money took wings.
he tried another shy at the faro bank,
which cost him 81, 500. Dropping into
the Delavan he opened wine for the
pugiiists, who congregate there He
was introduced to Sharkey and later to
Corbett and Kid Mccoy. After a week
more Of wine. faro bank, soubrettes and
more wine, the young man from the
South found himself with just 500 in
his pocket, after paying a hotel bill Of
$500 and a cab bill of $50.
This was the night of the Erne-Gans
fight Russell wagered his century, on
Cans and left the club house broke 1t
then struck Russell that he had not a
soul ia town to whom he could turn. His
pride and breeding prevented him from
appealing to any of his new friends for
8 loan. Even his last ring had been
given away.
After walking around for nearly two
hours, Russell bethought him Of some
change he had received on the cars and
reaching in his pocket found 40 cents.
He went into the Hoffman House and
called for a drink. His check was Is
cents After that he soon reached Mills
hotel No 1 and in the morning invest
ed his last nickel in coffee and sink
ers."
He could not telegraph home, as the
agent would not send his message col
lect.
Mr.. Russell returns home today
through the efforts of a friend.

A SHOT AT BRYAN.
Perry Belmont Thinks Democrats
Gould Win With Right Man.

New York, April PERRY Belmont,
who supported Palmer and Buckner in
1896, thinks that the Democrats have
a great opportunity to elect a presi-
dent. He said last night: The Repub-
lican party is assailing and the Demo-
Gratis are defending the constitution and
the supreme court. On that issue the
Democratic party can win, provided it
selects candidates in whom the cOun-
try can have confidence. Those who
have themselves attacked the integrity
of the supreme court, standing on the
Chicago platform, are disqualified from
leading in such an issue. The most vi
oIent criticism of the administration
that is being made is the assertion that
even the unsuccessful candidate of 1896
is preferable now. If that is the case
how assured is Democratic success upon
new issues with a candidate represent
ing them.
1.-THE Republican contention is that
congress when legislating for any part
of the United States outside of the
forty-five states is free to prescribe
such laws as it pleases, and that the
recent treaty with Spain has given
sovereignty over Porto Rico and the
Philippines unreStrained by the prOvi-
sions of the constitution. The Demo-
cratic party is on firm ground The
treaty-making power as well as con-
gress must obey the constitution. That
is the decision of the supreme court,
and is the law of the land until re-
versed by the court.
1.-The treaty with Spain must be made
, to conform thereto. The Republican
leaders are repeating a party shibbo-
leth that the constitution was made
for the people, not the people for the
constitution. The constitution was or
! dained for liberty and justice-both de-
MED to the Porto Ricans by the Nc
Kinley party. They are entitled to i'm
mediate recognition whether creating a
precedent for the Philippines or not.
Even under Spanish rule the Porto
Ricans had deputies in the Cortes at
Madrid Why should they not have ter
ritorial representation at Washington
The prospects of the Democratic party
are growing brighter daily on this great
! constitutional ISSUE

Mcclure, it is said, thinks Graves, the

missing and heretofore it has been
thought he came out to the coast i'm
mediately after the crime was COM
