Worlds Great Men.

From what little We know Of his
early life and inheritance Shakespeare
seems to have been less entitled to
fortune than any of the worlds great
men. The son Of probably almost il
Hterate parents, and brought up in
the unintellectual and prosaic atmos-
phere Of an Insignificant AGRICULTURAL
village, fortune seems to have done
nothing to excite and develop his i'm
agination, and very little to increase
his knowledge of mankind. His very
modest success in London seems to
have been in spite Of fortunes frowns,
and he seems to have escaped the cold
welcome Of the metropolis as soon as
he could. There was neither example
nor rivalry to stimulate his efforts. nor
foreign travel to mature his knowl.

BIG FIRE.

Two Buildings on the Taintor Place
in the Suburbs Destroyed.
The barn and water tower of G. E.
Taintor on the Loantaca road,
one mile south of Morristown, was
totally destroyed by fire Saturday
evening, the loss being $40, 600 on the
buildings and about SO, 600 on the
fixtures, harnesses, etc. The insur-
ance, held by John B. Ayres, amount
ed to SO, 400, of which 81, 400 was on
the barn and 80, 600 on the tower.
G. H. Hyde of New York is occupy
ing the Taintor place this year. Sat-
urday he was at the seashore with
his family. The only persons on the
place at the time of the fire were
James Flood, the head coachman,
and three hired men. The night
of the fire they were all sleeping
in the barn and about midnight were
awakened by the smell of burning hay.
They had to run for their lives. Two
of them jumped out of a window
and the other two escaped down the
stairs. They had barely time to get
out of the uarn when it was enveloped
in flames. They managed to save the
horses and carriages by heroic work
but everything else in the barn was
burned

MEDICos WIN OUT.

The Knickerbocker A.C. of Bayonne
met defeat on the Hospital grounds
last Saturday. For the first four
innings it was hot game. The
Medicos could make but one run and
it looked as if it might be tight
match to the finish. But in the fifth
inning Disosway, the Knickerbocker
twirler, lost control of the ball and
the Medicos did nothing but smash it
and pound it and run around the
bases for six good ones. That rather
ratified the Knickerbookers and in the
next inning they allowed three more
good ones for the Medicos. The
visitors were only able to touch it up
for two scores, one in the sixth and
one in the seventh inning The score

purposes of God, in the historic act
which took place at Calvary years ago,
and that we wake up to that position
when we come to Christ and say,
Nail me to the cross involve me in
Thy act. The point that comes in
under this heading is death to the ao-
tivities of the self life. You have heard
Mr.. Morgan and me talk about the
flesh; you know that when we use
that word we mean the self life.
Fifth-The fifth point is the putting
on of the characteristics of the Christ
life. 1t is not enough, you see, to
die for the self life, but there is a
necessity of perpetually putting on
the Lord Jesus Christ, the character
istics of Christ. 1t is not enough
to preach to people the silence of the
grave; you must lead them to appro-
pirate and claim the positive side of
Christ's excellence. The true way
of dealing with sin is not to deny it.,
but to appropriate the opposite course
in Jesus Christ.
Sixth The filling with the Holy
Ghost, the Pentecostal gift. / be-
lieve in regeneration we receive the
Holy Spirit, and that He is prepared
to infill us for character, drop at a
time, if you like, but as you open the
water pipe of your character to the
Holy Ghost in conservation or dedi-
cation, the Holy Ghost more and more
fills you with Jesus Christ. Please
note there that you are not conscious
of the Holy Ghost, but conscious of
Jesus Christ, that it is He who fills
your nature, for it is the work of the
Spirit to glorify Christ.
Seventh-The rest of the soul in
GOD, Hebrews, iv, which, of course, is
not Heaven, but is the blessed expert
ence of the rest of God, and which
consists of two parts, the one of hand
ing over, of committal and the other
reception.
Eighth-The eighth point is perfect
love. Please remember that perfect
love has two sides. Gods love is
perfected in us, and our love is per-
fected in Him; and perfect love so
far as understand it, is to treat every
body high and low, those you like and
those you don't like, with perfect
unselfishness. Love is not a senti-
mental, emotional thing. Phillips
Brooks says we must love God with
our minds.

HISTORY OF THE PRUDENTIAL.
Beautiful Book just Issued by the Well
Known Insurance Company.

The Prudential Insurance Company
of America has just issued a volume
entitled "The History of the Pruden-
tial Insurance Company Industrial
Insurance). 1876 1900.
To Frederick L. Hoffman, the statis-
tician of the Company, belongs the
credit of a careful and tasteful pre-
sentation of the facts of the COM
pany's development. While such a
work must of necessity deal largely
with the statistics and data of life
insurance, yet its success in making
details interesting, bears witness to
the author sense of literary taste and
proportion.
A brief resume of Mr.. Hoffman s
work shows it to be valuable contri-
button to this particular line of ap-
piled economies The book was pre-
pared for the Prudential's exhibit at
the Paris exposition, and tells of the
remarkably quick growth of the COM
pany, its absolutely unique place in
the field of industrial insurance, and
its Identification with the latest and
best ideas of life insurance.
All these facts bear witness to the
energy and force of its president, John
f. Dryden, and it's vice. president,
Dr. Leslie D. Ward, and others of the
management who have been so close
ly connected with the company S
growth and development.
While the Company and its history
is the sole theme of the book, yet it
does not go into extravagant lauda-
tion, indeed the text is notably free
from the inevitable tendency which
most books of the sort have to self
advertisement. The works which
lead up to the main theme are EARLY
Workingmen's Insurance in America, ;"
Industrial Insurance before 1874, .
and 1.-THE Prudential Friendly
Society" I"
The book is an interesting and val
liable contribution to life insurance
literature, and should commend its
self alike to philanthropists and
economists. With the inception and
development of the industrial idea in
insurance, has come the incubation
of habits of saving money among the
poor-a benefaction which does not
impoverish but rather encourages an
economy incompatible with the needs
of the individual.
The present financial status of the
company is tribute to persona,
effort and public enterprise-a tribute
which is vital and enduring.

DOWN AND OUT.

At Dover, Saturday, the Knickerbook-
ers of this city put up great game
and lost by score of 81, the home
contingent winning out in the last
inning. The Knickerbockers best team
was in the field There was Beyers in
the box and Lyons behind the bat,
with Mccarthy covering the third
bag, while Bray played short to
perfection. Trowbridge was on first,
Allen on second and the fielders were
Compton, Frapwell and Wright.
Beyers pitched beautiful game He
kent the hits down within a safe limit
and his support was at all times OF
the proper order. The diamond is
what beat the Knickerbockers II was
grassy, sandy and lumpy, and no one
could tell what grounder might do.
1t was liable to fly off on tangent at
any time. Consequently grounder,
If n speeder, was usually a good safe
hit Anything up in the air was
sure to be nabbed before 1t landed.

CONFERENCE
Work in Progress at the School

Speakers of Prominence From All
Over the Country-SeveraI Well
Known People From Morristown
i'm Attendance-Artic of Faith.

The Northfield Conference for Chris.
tian Workers like the Students Con
ference held in the same place last
month is more largely attended than
ever before. Many were apprehensive
that the death of Mr.. Moody would
cause great falling off in the atten-
dance but so far there is no sign of
that. Mr., Moody is much missed but
his son, W.. R. Moody makes an ex-
cellent presiding officer and the in
terest of the meetings has never
tagged
The leading speakers this year are
Revs. F. B. Meyer and G. Campbell
Morgan of London. Mr.. Morgan first
delivered a series of lectures on the
Holy Spirit and this week speaks for
Righteousness, or Christian Ethics as
applied to man as an individual, man
and man, the family, commercial
life and political life devoting one
lecture to each topic. Mr.. Meyer sums
up his special teaching in eight points
First-The first point that one
makes is the assurance of faith. in vir-
tue of which the soul not simply be-
lieves in Christ but is assured of its
acceptance of God Through Jesus
Christ. And there, under that heading,
one always must express the distlnc-
tion between our position in the pur-
poses of God, and our condition in
Hoi1Iy IL a dfctinafiAs rf 1A
objective and the subjective between
in ourselves. This assurance of faith
is wrought by fellowship with Christ
and through the sealing of the Holy
Ghost
Second-The second point is the
judging of known sin and conscience
with the view of leading the soul to
take sides against any one evil thing
of which it may be convicted and one
uses the text there: "Let us cleanse
ourselves from all filthiness of the
flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in
the fear of God.
Third-One speaks of dedication. /
think we generally use the word con-
secration and am not going to find
fault with any man who uses the
word conservation, only the further
study Scripture the more | see that
conservation is the position which
occupy in Jesus Christ, 1t is Gods
side of the act, while dedication is
my side. When the soul has put away
known evil in the power of the Holy
Ghost, it turns with the whole pur-
pose of its nature toward Christ that
Christ shall work in it and through it
as He will And so, please note, you
ministers, that under that you should
put attitude, not attainment, because
some people look upon this act as
an attainment, which covers the whole
future, whereas it is only taking
a new attitude toward God and it
will involve long series of acts in
coming time.
Fourth-One's fourth position is
union with Christ in death and resur-
rection. / think we ought to make 1T
clear that we are united in Christ
in death and resurrection, in the

SAFE UNDER OUR FLAG. ]
Conger Reports Slight loss to the Ameri-
cans in Pekin.

The feeling in Administration
circles at Washington today is that
the allies reached Pehin Wednesday,
that the Chinese have surrendered
and that the ministers, mission
aries and native Christians have
been rescued. An armistice, following
the rescue, has probably been agreed to
as suggested by the United States
government 1t is expected that Lii
Hung Chang is already negotiating
peace. The latest from Minister
Conger states that of the American
party, babe and eight marines COM
prise the deaths.
In the engagement at Chang CHA
Wan on the 14th, resulting in it's
capture by the allies, 500 Chinese
dead were left on the field. The loss
of the allies was small.
A cablegram received yesterday at
the headquarters of the China Inland
Mission in Toronto reads: miss H.
]. Rice, from Lu Cheng, murdered,
Miss M. E. Houston, from LII Cheng,
Mrs. E. J. Cooper, from Lu Cheng,
