BILE infection, "he is not dead. He Is
living in the eternal mansions Of glory
with his Lord"
But the news was borne from lip to
lip, He is deadw And that Is the
way men speak Of the body. And they
were right. The body Of Philip was
dead. And the Brother Man was right
also, for Philip himself was alive in
glory, and as they bore the tabernacle
of his flesh out Of Calvary church that
day that was all they bore. His soul
was out Of the reach Of humanity's
selfshness and humanity's sorrow.
They said that when the funeral Of
Philip Strong's body was held in Mil
ton rugged, unfeeling men were seen
to cry like children in the streets. A
great procession. largely made up Of
the poor and sinful. followed him to
his wintry grave. They fingered long
about the spot. Finally every one
withdrew except Sarah, who refused
to be led away by her friends, and Will
liam and the Brother Man. They
stood looking down into the grave.
"He was very young to die so soon,"
at last Sarah said, with a calmness
that was more terrible than bursts of
grief.
$50 was Christ" replied Brother
Man simply.
"But, oh, Philip, Philip, my beloved,
they killed him" she cried. And at
last, for she had not wept yet, great
tears rolled down into the grave, and
uncomfortable anguish seized her.
Brother Man did not attempt to con-
sole or interrupt. He knew she was
in the arms of God. After a long time
he said: "Yes, they crucified him. But
he is with his Lord now. Let us be
glad for him. Let us leave him with
the Eternal Peace"
When the snow had melted from the
hillside and the first arDutus was be-
ginning to bud and even blossom, one
day some men came out to the grave
and put up plain stone at the head.
After the men had done this work they
went away. One Of them fingered. He
was the wealthy mill owner. He stood

words carved into the stone. They were

Mr.. Winter looked at the incomplete
line, and then, as he turned away and
walked slowly back down into Milton,
he said: Eyes, it is better so. We must
finish the rest for him."
All, Philip Strong! The sacrifice was
not in vain! The resurrection is not far
from the crucifixion.
Near to its close rolls up the century,
And still the church Of Christ upon the earth
Which marks the Christmas of his lowly birth

HOLIDAYS FOR JUDGES
Members Of the District Bench Off
OH Annual Vacation.
Chief Justice Bingham the Only One
ut Present Duty-DispOses of
Much Legal Business - Getting
Ready for the October Term-Im-
pOrtnnt Gases That Are to be Tried

Chief Justice Bingham disposed of a
great deal OF business which came up for
consideration last week before the Supreme
Court of the District. The Chief Justice
was the only member of the District Court
bench who was at the City Hall, the others
being away on vacation. On Monday last
at meeting of the justices of the Supreme
Court of the District it was decided that
the three months vacation would be diSid
ed into six 'reliefs" of fifteen days each.
In order that Chief Justice Bingham m ght
have an uninterrupted holiday, it was sug-
gested that he take the first relief. ex-
tending from July to July 10.
During this period, Chief Justice Bing-
ham will consider all business, OF whatever
nature, either criminal or civil, demanding
the attention of the court. There will not,
however, during the holidays. be any jury
trials held in either the circuit or criminal
branches OF the court.
Aside from the usual business which
comes before the Supreme Court OF the
District, Chief Justice Bingham also he. DIS
a session for probate business every day
except Saturday. in the Orphans Court.
While there are no trials in either OF the
branches OF the Criminal court, the DiS-
trict Attorney and his assistants are kept
busy preparing to be in readiness for the
opening OF the October term OF the Su-
preme Court Of the District. James Lane
ton, charged with being responsible for the
death Of Mrs. Bette Wrenn, in March last,
is the only prisoner in the District jail
awaiting trial on the charge OF murder.
The Government was to proceed with the
trial OF Lancton during the last term OF
court. but a postponement was made on the
petition OF counsel for the defendant. This
case, by order Of Justice Clabaush. pres.d
ing in Criminal Court No. 1. will be called
to trial as early as practicable during the
October term of court.
Aside from the consideration of this case.
the District Attorney is making every eff
fort to have the Kieckhoeffer aud Allender
cases ready for trial at the beginning OF
the next term Of the District Criminal
Court. In the former case the defendant Is
charged with embezzling a large amount
Of money from the Government, and in the
latter Aliender is accused of obtaining
money under false pretences.
The work OF repainting the City Hall, in
side and out, is progressing rapidly, and
will probably be finished this week or the

STATUS OF TEE STRIKE
The Controversy Between Steam
Filters and Their Employers.
Fu1fllment of n Contract for Work
About TO Re BeGun Likely to Bring
the Dispute to Hend-The At
tftude of other Trades-No Sym
pathetic WaIk-Out Anticipated.

1t was declared yesterday by proIainent
member of local organized labor that if
the differences between the steam and
hot water filters and their helpers and
their employers are not adjusted within
the next few DAYS other building trades
will be seriously affected 1t was not
stated that the members of the other
building trades would ''go OUT on sympa
thetic strike. At this time. the individual
unions not having taken action on the
matter. such proceeding is unlikely. The
local steam filters and their helpers have,
however, been endorsed in the stand they
have taken by the National Steam Filters
Union. and it is expected that the latter
will call the matter TO the attention of the
different building trades unions In this
and other cities.
1t is expected that the relations exist
ing between the local steam filters and
helpers and their employers will be
brought to an issue In connection with
contract for steam and hot water fitting
about to be begun in this city. The con-
tract, il is stated. was awarded to New
York firm through its local agents and
that it must be finished by September /.
The job, it is said, will necessitate the
employment of at least five steam filters
and five helpers steadily from now until
September to ensure It's com pIetion on
contract time. The New York firm re-
ferred to. 1t is also stated, has always
recognized union labor and employed none
but union steam filters and helpers in
their contracts in that city and elsewhere.
1t is further stated that already one union
steam filter has come on from New York
to take charge OF the work and he is said
to have declared that he was not aware
when he left New York that there was
any trouble between the local steam filters
and their employers.
On this work there are members OF
several OF the local building trades unions
employed. IL Is not anticipated that IL,
when these union men report for work
this morning and they find non-union
steamfitters at work on the Job, they will
walk out" beeause, up to this time,
there hes been no occasion to call the
matter to the attention Of individual
trades unions in the District. II such a
condition of affairs should develop today,
however. It win be Immediately called to
the attention of all the union organiza-
tons in the city.
The condition Of the strike will be a
matter of discussion at the meeting of the
Central Labor Union which will be held
tonight, and probably the delegates rep
resenting the different unions will be
given instructions to report the matter 10
their individual organizations.

tured, and intelligent, he has worked in
cessantly in promoting the welfare of his
charge.
He is conservative man. although
fully up TO date in all educational matters
Whatever part he may have had in radical
school changes was due to orders from his
superiors. None of us had the slightest

Where sand Is Most Valuable.

most wonderful phenomena Of the age. Every
inch Of land between King William's statue
and Trinity Square London cost ESQ lG6s, or at
the rate Of Rl9l 900, 0U per acre-beyond all
doubt the highest price paid in England for
land The Southeastern Railway Company has
asked at the rate Of SOS 600 900 per acre for piece
Of ground in Bennondssy, which had depth of
sixteen feet only. The demand was SO exoibia ant
that even q railway company had to pause. finally
declining to purchase. In the year 1850 land in
Cannon Street sold for $50 a square foot and
six years later the price OF land in this identical
street went up TO SIS square foot.
