STONY BROOK SHAKEN.
shiloh Missionaries Trying 60 ProseIyte
Members OF Local Churches.

Stony Brook, l.. l., November lS,-
Stony Brook Is shaken over the efforts
of missionaries of faith cure colony
near Shiloh Maine. to prossIyte members
OF the LOCAL churches.
The Rev. NJ. NJ. Fanton, pastor of the
Methodist church, and othsr church
officials are working to offset the efforts
of the emissariss of the curist commune
ty, which was organized by the Rev.
Frank Sanford, and bears the title OF
''The Holy Ghost and Us Soois ty.'i
Several members of MIR. Fanton's flock
have gone to the colony, and to dissuade
others from following their example Mr.
Fanton is circulating copies OF letters
written by clergymen in and near Shiloh
in which the socIety's methods are vigor-
ously denounced.
Capt Edwin Smith, one CT the most
prominent members Of the local Metho'
dist church, has for years suffered from
an internal complaint, and this caused
him to take much interest in faith our
ing. He visited Shiloh about two months
ago and returned two weeks ago, saying
he was cured.
His fervor became contagious, and
Miss Lulu Blydenburgh, daughter OF a
wealthy resident of Stony Brook, went
to shiloh to be educated as a missionary.
Miss TiIIis Smith, who has inherited $40,
COO, and has as much more in prospect,
became a believer, and took her young
niece, Caroline Hulse, who Is suffering
from an affi lotion OF the eyes, to Shiloh.
The girl was not cured because, Miss
Smith asserts, her father was hacking in
faith. Capt. Smiths daughter Stella,
who is 10 years old, Joined the healing
community last week. The captain re.
signed from the local church and an
member OF the shiloh colony. He and
his wife own considerable property here
and in New York city.
Before anyone can Join the Holy Ghost
and Us society all worldly goods, 1t IL
said, must bs turned over co the general
fund, Mr.. Fanton wrote for Information
regarding the society to three clergymen
living near Shiloh. He refused to disclose
their names, but said two were Metho-
dists and one was q Baptist
Inc letters received In reply denounced
the society In the strongest terms, and
warned all persons TO keep away from 1t.
The letters said thar converts were com
PEELED to part viii all their property and
wer, shamefulIy treated when more funds
were not forthcoming
The Shiloh elergymen asserted that
young women were prosecuted and in
suited, that 1t was well known that the
oruslties heaped upon certain young
women had driven them insane.
Capt. Smith characterized these letters
as dsfamatory and unjust. ''There Is
nothing wrong there" he said. "What
Is done Is done according to the Bible.

THE ICE TRUST.
GOV. Roosevelt Prepares sismorand nm
ofchargss Against Mayor Van wyek.

Albany,N. Y, November Ex-Governor
Roosevelt has prepared the following
memorandum OF the charges against
Mayor Van wyck Of New York city, In
the trust matter:
"Thsre are three wholly distinct sides
to the ice trust matter.
''In the first place, there Is the general
question whether the American Ice CON-
pany dealing as IL docs In necessity Of
life to the poor people OF New York,
was one into which 1t was proper for q
public spirited man to enter. This Is.
of course. not a question for legal action
In any shape or form. Moreover, it Is
unnecessary to point out that whether
the corporation Is legal or Illegal, proper
or improper in character, it is an act OF
hypocrisy on the part OF any public man
to denounce trusts in general and this
trust in particular, on the platform and
on the stump, while he ct the same time,
in his private capacity, holds stock or
has held stock in the trust that he thus
denounces. s-
Attention Is called to this feature
simply because an effort has been made
to show that unless legal action
against the trust or some OF Its stock.
holders can be taken, these public men
are to be exoneratsd.
"Seoond--There is the question whittier
or not the existence OF this so-calied ice
trust is In violation or the antitrust law.
This, OF course, can only be deoid ed by
the courts.
ION May ssth, 1900, the attorney gem
erai Instituted proceedings to annual the
certificate OF the Ice company under this
statute. The corporation through its
counsel has fought the action at every
stage on technioalities, not on the merits
Of the case. The fret decision before
Judge Chester was in favor of the state.
An appeal was taken BY the defendants,
which was argued weeks ago, and the
attorney general Is daily expecting a de-
oision by the appellate division on this
appeal. The defendants obtained a stay
of proceedings pending tine appeal All
possible diligence has been shown by the
attorney general in the effort to secure
the annulment of the certificate and
nothing could have been done by the
state to expedite proceedings which has
not been done. The delay Is due, Of
course, to the course OF the corporation
iteself, whose stockholders include the
public men above alluded to. We now
come to the third side Of the matter; the
onlysone on which the Governor in his
official capacity, has any power whatsoever
to act, viz; The charges against
Mayor Van Wyck.
"Inasmuch as the question as to
whether the ice corporation is or Is not a
trust or monopoly is before the courts for
decision, until they have acted, action by
the Governor can only with proprlet5
be taken under the Greater New York
charter. So far as the charges ara
brought under this section, It makes
no differences. as regards the Mayor s
conduct, whether the aforesaid corporation
is or is not a trust within the meaning OF
the law"
