the Ascension. Rev pr. Percy Stick hey Grant, who delivered the sermon, said in part
 The great temptation which I be- lieye will beset your path is material ism. We see about us men with inn mense wealth, here one possessing one 1 hundred millions, there one worth two hundred millions and another worth four hundred millions. We find man giving libraries to a city which should be ashamed to receive them when it knows his name must be written across the buildings which he gives. The same man gives universities to coun- try which never asked for anything in university education but an opportunity to earn it.
 Many of the men who have amassed great fortunes attach too much impor- tance to the rough and ready spirit which they believe to have aided them most materially. MT. Schwab, we may conclude, has little confidence in educa- tion along higher lines as an assistance in business affairs.
 ''The men of millions have power Wherever they throw the vast impulse of their capital the labors are accom- plished. They have unlimited power Young men see this, and what is the result? They throw themselves like fagots into the furnace of material pro- duction.
 'The enormous fortunes of the rich oppress the youth of America The constant realization of the wealth which has been amassed in the country will bear down upon the aspiration of Americans. Freedom from this shadow depends alone upon the attitude with which it is opposed. The only salva- tion of American youth, the only means of maintaining the liberty of our fore fathers, is a belief in Coda true, healthy religious instinct which alone can preserve the Americans from the shadow and burden of materialism."
 Providence, June 16.-President w. H. P. Faunce, D. D., of Brown university, preached his second baccalaureate ser- mon to-day. The old historic meeting house was filled to overfiowing. Music was furnished by the glee clubs of the university and the women's college. Dr. Faunce's sermon was from Gen. l., 2S, and his instruction to the graduates was to go out into the world to share in the pulsations of this magnificent life now pouring through the arteries of the world.

KENNEDY JURY D!SAGREES
Continued from First Page.)

Continued from First Page.) dict in the case, and I feel that il would be cruel to confine you any longer"
 Then turning to the prisoner the court said: "The defendant is remand ed"
 Ten ballots were taken by the jury men. The first stood three for convic- ton and three for acquittal, with six blank The second ballot stood six fol conviction and six for acquittal. The third stood seven for conviction and five for acquittal The fourth stood five for conviction and seven for ac- quittal. The tenth and last was four for conviction and eight for acquittal.
 Immediately after the adjournment of court the attorneys for the defense saw Judge Newburger in regard to theif next step in behalf of pr. Kennedy The judge said that they should see District Attorney Philbin as to whether he would agree upon the course to be pursued. He said that he (the judge) would be out of town tomorrow, but that they could appear before him on Tuesday to make whatever motion they desired.
 MT. Moore will ask District Attorney Philbin to move the quashing of the in dictment and if the latter does not take this step to free Dr. Kennedy, MT. Moore himself will make that motion, arguing that the state has shown twice it's inability to convict his client of the crime charged, and that the old idea of two disagreements being equivalent to an acquittal ought to prevail in this case.
 In case of failure to have the indict- ment quashed, MT Moore will move that his client be admitted to bail in a moderate sum or that he be released on his own recognizance.
 Mr. Moore then went down to the ma- tron's room on the floor below where Mrs. Kennedy and her friends were awaiting the verdict. The woman who has stood SO bravely and constantly in the firm conviction of her husbands innocence bore the disappointment cheerfully.
 Dr. Kennedy when taken back to the Tombs expressed himself as being dis appointed at the verdict but hoped one or the other of the applications of his attorney would be granted.
 One of the jurors said tonight that the principal point which caused the eight to be in favor of acquittal was they did not believe that the identif- cation of Kennedy as the man who was seen leaving the Grand hotel early in the morning after the murder was re- liable.
 They held that as only a side or back view had been obtained of the man a mistake might have been made. If the employees of the hotel had obtained a full view of the mans face they said it would have been different.

PULLMAN KEEPS THE TABLE.

l Bought it Cheap at Storage House Auction, Where it Was Inadvertent- ly Sold.
 | The bitter controversy between Uni- ted States Senators McLaurin and Till man of South Carolina calls to the
 mind of Colonel Willard Howard, com-
 mander of the Fourth regiment, Mary land National Guard, an interesting experience he had with Senator Till
 man not so very long ago concerning
 an antique mahogany table, which was an heirloom i'll the coionelS family.
 When the colonel discontinued house. keeping, shortly after the death of Mrs. Howard, he stored some of his furn- ture in Washington. where he had a married daughter, and where he spent much of his time.
 In the lot there was a mahogany ta- ble which the colonel wished to pre- serve because of it's age and associa- tions, In some manner which could not be accounted for the table got among some household goods that were being auctioned off at the storage warehouse. Senator Tillman admired it and bought it for sixteen dollars. Learning of the transaction several days afterward, Colonel Howard en-

A VALUABLE PUBLICATION.
The Pennsylvania Railroad 1901 Sum-

The Pennsylvania Railroad 1901 Sun-
 mer Excursion Route Book.
 On June i the passenger department of the Pennsylvania Railroad company published the 1901 edition of the Sum mer Excursion Route Book. This work is designed to provide the public with descriptive notes of the principal sum- mer resorts of eastern America, with the best routes for reaching them and the rates of fare. It contains all the principal seashore and mountain resorts of the East and over seventeen hundred different routes or combinations of routes The book has been compiled with the greatest care, and altogether is the most complete and comprehen- sive handbook of summer travel ever offered to the public.
 The cover is handsome and striking, printed in colors, and the book contains several maps presenting the exact routes over which tickets are sold. The book is profusely illustrated with fine half-tone cuts of scenery at the various resorts and along the lines of the Penn sylvania railroad.
 This very interesting book may be procured at any Pennsylvania railroad ticket office at the nominal price of ten cents, or. upon application to the gen. eral office Broad street station, by mail for twenty cents.

| deavored to get the table back into his own possession. By this time, howev- CT, it had been given a conspicuous place in the senator's household and was the admiration of his family and friends.
 Colonel Howard at once wrote to Sen- ator Tillman giving him history of the table, calling attention to the fact that it was never intended for the auc- tion room, and requesting that it be returned to him At the same time the colonel said he would pay all the charges and send a check for the amount the senator had paid for the valuable piece of furniture.
 Almost the very next mail brought to Colonel Howard this crisp reply from the senator: Buy me table as good as the one I have, and I will return yours to you"
 That settled the table so far as Colo mel Howard was concerned. Senator Tillman had prize, and he knew it. Colonel Howard also knew that he might travel from one end of the blobe to the other and possibly never be able to diplcate that table, which was orig inally purchased abroad for large sum of money.
 Colonel Howard recently returned to Baltimore from a protracted business trip through the south. He said, with reference to the McLaurin-T Tillman con- troversy, that his talks with the busi- ness men and merchants of the south impressed him with the fact that the policies advocated by Senator McLau- rin are in full accord with public senti- ment throughout the south. "As I un- derstand it." the colonel said, ''the south is ready to support men with more progressive ideas than some of it's representatives have had in the past. The old war sentiment is rapidly dying out "--Baltimore American.

A QUEER LITTLE BOG.

It's in the Borough of the Bronx. Bunyan, in "Pilgrim's Progress" speaking of the Slough of Despond, says: Tt is not the pleasure of the | king that this place should remain so bad. His laborers also have, by the di- rections of his majesty's surveyors, been for above these sixteen hundred years employed about this patch of ground, if perhaps it might be mend- ed; yea, and to my knowledge, said he, here have been swallowed up at least | twenty thousand carloads, yea, mill lions of whilesome instructions, that
 have at all seasons been brought from all places of the kings dominions (and they that can tell say that they are the best materials to make good ground of
 the place, if so it might be mendeO !; but it is the Slaugh of Despond still, and so will be when they have done what they can"
 This passage recurred to us on read ing of the bottomless lake within the limits of this city. It lies in the Bronx close to the border line of the Bronx Park. Its exact location" is on the line of the new Morris ateriue, and one hundred feet north of One Hundred and Seventieth street, where it covers an area of six hundred feet For three years the contractor and his men have been trying to solve the problem.

 The spot has been known since 1876. For a long time fish were caught in it. But the owners were constantly in trouble. Cows waded into the pond and disappeared and no carcass was ever recovered.

 Tt is cornmeal when it. goes in and proof liquor when it comes out. It is little worm on the mountain top and a man behind gun. It is keep your eyes on guard (twenty-four hours to the day and come out at the end of the year as poor as the duly respectable neighboring farmer. It is risky busi- ness all the way through, put It has a fascination about it all.
 This in substance the opinion of a man from Tennessee who was at the Midland last night on the moonshiner and his trade. John w. Gaylord owns or controls more distilleries in Ken lucky and Tennessee than he can re- member without referring to the card. It is to the Gaylord distilleries a great deal of moonshine whiskey ultimately finds it's way and their owner has a lowing acquaintance with more than one moonshiner who never leaves his hold in the Tennessee mountains. He is from Louisville.
 Usually the moonshiner is an ignor- ant countryman very uncouth in ap- pearance, but as shrewd as a Connecti- cut Yankee" said Colonel Gaylord. He is also prince of hospitality, as may be said of nearly all of the Georgia and Tennessee mountaineers He lives with the sword of Damocles constantly suspended over his head and no one Is more conscious of this fact than he is. As he is in daily, almost hourly, fear of detection, he regards everyone with more or less suspicion; even his best friends and members of his own family are sometimes suspected of treachery. And with good reason. A price is on his head-$1,5OO in Tennessee. Every stranger who arrives in the neighbor- hood is looked upon as a possible re- venue officer and every knock at the door of his dwelling is answered with inward feelings of doubt and nervous ness.
 Do not think he is a coward. He is the opposite when brought to bay. As a rule he resolutely opposes any inter- ference with his calling, even to the shedding of blood.
 During the year 1900" said Colonel Gaylord, "1,955 illicit distilleries were seized by revenue officers in the United States Of this number 673 were in Georgia and 4S3 in Tennessee. Nearly all the rest were distributed in the order given over the states of Alabama, Virginia, South Carolina, Kentucky, North Carolina, Arkansas and Missis- sisippi It is probable that the total number seized did not represent more than half of the illicit stills in active operation The total seizures in the past ten years have been over 16,0OO

The nurse, of course, could not re- strain a little demonstration when she first saw the snake, but, she choked herself off in short order and by the time the mistress of the house returned to tell the girl she must have been mis- taken about the call, conditions in the room had resumed their usual serenity, and the girl admitted that she must have been dreaming when she fancied she heard the alarm outside.-Arizona Republican.
