PAPER ON CHURCH FINANCE
Read by Rev. 8. F. Mathews at Bap-
tist Conference

=. Rev. S. +. Mathews, pastor OF the
First Baptist church, read a paper be-
fore the Baptist conference yesterday
morning upon Church Finance" The
paper was quite novel in its treatment
of the subject. presenting the two ex-
tremes of sentiment and principle upon
which the matter OF finance Is based
In the church economy. Showing where
finance Is built wholly upon sentiment
alone, all the evils that curse the
churc! at present and disgrace its
otherwise pure and beautiful life are
traceable to 1t, and that the possible
declension in church life may be the
subtle outcome of its influence.
On the other hand. the Scripture was
appealed to as furnishing the fact that
God intends principle. order and sys-
tenn, to be the divine forces both in
natural and spiritual life. that God hai
himself outlined the finance polity that
would give strength, power and force
to the church as an organization.
The principle of the 1.-THE, the obli-
gatory and the free will offerings each
in it's place working as Jehovah had
dccreed that they should do. was pre-
sented as the divine plan in the solu-
tion Of the veXed problem of ''Churcn
Finance" Tho illustrations drawn from
the Scripture and from church life
were vivid and forceful In their point
and interest and yet very simply given.
The subject was very ably discussed
by the conference. on the conclusion OF
the paper, and it was voted by the
same that the paper be published in
the next issue of the Church Mcssen-
ger" edited and published by Rev. DR..
$. G. Reading. of North Main avenue.

The conference committee appointed
by councils to advise with the mayor
regarding the suppression of the
speak -easies" met last evening in the
mayors office in city hall and directed
the city solicitor to draw up an ordin-
ance prohibiting the selling of liquor
without license and afiixing n penalty
thereto for a violation of it's provi-
sions.
The mayor stated that his reason for
asking councils for assistance in the
premises were that the cases might ne
tried by himself or any alderman of
the city, instead of having them all
come up in court, as at present.
City Solicitor Vosburg, who was pre-
sent, stated that while the act of as
sembly governing third class cities
gives cities power to restrain, prohibit
and suppress the unlicensed sale of Ii
quor, nevertheless that power is un-
operative until taken advantage of by
ordinance.
He further stated that the objection
had been raised that the city had n
| right to punish by ordinance any Of
fense already punishable by statutes
and offered the following supreme court
decision as against this argument:
"An authority granted by law to a
city to punish by ordinance offens2s
already indicted by statutes is consti-
tutional the same offenses may he
made punishable under the criminal
code and municipal legislation"
| All the members of the committe,
present. with the exception of Select
Councilman O'Boyle. thought that the
passage of such a measure was necos
sary for the thorough abolition of thes'
places. Mr.. O'Boyle contended that tho
| matter should be taken care of by th'
county officials. without the city put
ting its foot in it at all, as he expresse,
1t.
City Solicitor Nosburg was, however
directed to draw up an ordinance an
to afiix as a penalty a fine of from
$40 to $50, at the discretion of th'
magistrate trying the case. This or
dinance will be introduced Thursda'
evening in select council and an effor
will be made to put 1t through a
quickly as possible.

KEEPING TAB ON WITNESSES.
Clerk Mahon Has Begun the Work of
Registering Them.

John p. Mahon, the clerk recently
appointed by the county commission
ers to keep tab on the witnesses in
quarter sessions court. began that part
Of his duties yesterday. He established
himself in the corridor outside Of the
court rooms and the witnesses who
were subpoenaed for yesterday were
directed to register with him. Those
who do not do so will get no witness
fees.
When the witness is summoned. say
for Monday, he registers on that day
and reports to Clerk Mahon on each
subsequent day he is In attendance
until the case is disposed of by the
court. The new practice will enable
the commissioners to tell exactly who
are witnesses and how many days they
are in attendance, and will greatly cut
down the fees of many professional
witnesses who never returned less than
five or six days for any case in which
they We're called.

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.
New York. March 6.-'rhc cotton mar
ket was again very active to-day. The
first call developed an advance of to
II points and was followed by Il further
rise of 2G3 points. The upward move
mcnt as heretofore was based upon
higher cables.
Later cables, however, were decided
ly less favorable, and our market was
very prompt to weaken. local sentiment
being bearish to begin with. and the
room traders only waiting for an ex-
cuse to sell. They acted with q degree
of confidence that has not been shown
by them for long time. An effort was
made to undermine the weaker long
accounts and cotton soon came on the
market in heavy quantities with the re-
SUIT of breaking prices IL to 20 points
from the highest figures of the fore
noon. after which the course OF prices
was irregular under the changing re-
lations of longs and shorts with n weak
undcrtone under the theory that the
advance had eliminated when May con-
tracts touched 9.GS and August 9.5S this
morning. being "a above the prices
