WHAT THE STORY OF
JOSEPH TEACHES.
SYNOPSIS OF SERMON
PREACHED BY S. j. KEN
NEEDY LAST SUNDAY.

NEEDY LAST SUNDAY.
Genesis 4o2s;"-"Yet did not the
chief butler remember Joseph, but
forget him.
MANS inhumallity to man
makes countless thousands mourn -
Joseph and the chief butler
we're in a common bondage, yet
the former found an opportunity
Of doing his fellow prisoner a IA
vor. The butler had remarkable
dream which Joseph interpreted
as showing that in three days he
should be restored to his former
place as cup-bearer to Pharoh.
In return for the favor Joseph
asked that the butler remember
him kindly and endeavor to have
him removed from the prison.
True to Joseph's Interpretation,
in three days the butler was taken
from prison to the palace, and re-
stored to his former position, while
Joseph remained behind, heart
sick of hope deferred, awaiting
for some return from the inter-
cession Of the cup-bearer with
Pharoh on his behalf.
Those benefited by us have
often poor remembrance of kind
ness shown. But though for
gotten of the butler, Joseph was
not forgotten of his God, for in
due time he, too, was preferred to
high honor in the kingdom.
Because of such acts, we're apt
to lose confidence in men. Some
times too in moment of weak
ness, because of such ingratitude,
we determine never to trust any
one and in spirit of revenge to set
our hand against every man.
Joseph's characters ought to help
US strive against such thoughts.
Though treated in a most thank
less manner he still maintained a
gracious character and continued
to favor those with whom he came
in contact.
Joseph might have lost conf
dence in all men-he never lost
confidence in God. vengeance
is mine, I will repay, saith the
Lord" Whatever others did, he
would still continue to trust in
his fathers God, and moved his
daily actions even in the prison
by those laws which he had been
taught to respect and honor.
Joseph never lost confidence in
himself. Though prisoner, and
forgotten by the man whom he
had favored, yet he never per-
mitted himself to lose his grip on
things. He was still a man. He
felt there were yet great possibil-
tiles in store for him. "Men may
rise on stepping-stones Of dead
selves to higher things
Joseph was soon preferred, for
in two years from the time of the
buffers release he was raised to
the place of the second man in
Pharaoh's realm. Forgotten by
man, yet not forgotten by God.
''There's divinity that shapes our
ends, rough-hew them how we
will" It has been truly said,
"You cannot keep a good man
down.
Let us take courage by this
story. We mistake if we conclude
that because misfortune has over
taken us, and we find ourselves in
such a position as Joseph, that
consequently every mans hand is
against us. The world may look
askance, suspicious eyes may be
turned towards us, employer may
be suspicious of our sincerity of
purpose to do the right, but let
our renewed lives, with the past

People of Knoxville, Pa, Will Build
Their Own Library.

Pittsburg. July 22.-The borough
of Knoxville, adjoining Pittsburg, has
declined with thanks Andrew Carne-
gte's offer, made at the solicitation of
citizens OF the borough. to provide
sl5.o0o for a library building fund.
Mr.. Carnegie stipulated that the
borough must appropriate $4,000 an.
nually for the maintenance of the IL
brary. The Knoxville authorities say
this amount is equivalent to 10 per
cent interest on $4,000.
They prefer to issue 30-year bonds
for that amount and build a library,
and for less than $4,000 annually they
can pay the interest on the bonds and
maintain the library.

Washington, July 23.--Attorney Gen.
eral Knox has declined to render an
opinion. which was asked for by the
secretary OF the treasury on the
question whether or not, under exist
ing laws, the secretary is authorized
to refund the duties collected on goods
imported from Porto Rico between the
date OF the ratification of the Spanish
treaty and the date that the Foraker
act went into operation. The attor-
ney general says that inasmuch as the
comptroller OF the treasury has given
his decision on the subject. it is a
matter for him (the comptroller) alone
and he, therefore, can not give a de-
cision as requested
1t is authoritatiyely stated at the
treasury department that the govern
ment will proceed Immediately to re-
fund those duties, acting upon the de-
cision OF the comptroller OF the treas
ury, which was to the effect that the
treasury department had authority un-
der existing law. The duties amount
approximately to S2000.000.

Secretary Cages tentative order as
sessing countervailing duty on sugar
imported from Italy. Although the
text of the note will not be made pub.
lie at present it is known that it con-
tAins less than 400 words and says in
substance that some time ago a copy
of section of the Italian laws on the
subject of the sugar came into the
possession of the department which
fairly created a strong presumption
that the effect Of the law was to give
a bounty on sugar exports. There
upon the secretary issued an order to
collectors stating that until the CUES
ton was finally settled by further in.

The Presidents itenerary has been in
terrupted by the sudden illness OF Mrs.
Mckinley who was brought from Del
monte Sunday 70 San Francisco for treat
ment by specialist. Her condition has
been very alarming the past two days.
She was at the point of death yesterday,
but seemed a little better last night.
one man was killed. three others prob
ably fatally injured and a large number
wounded and bruised by stones and other
missels at Albany yesterday. Two thou
sand militiamen are maintaining martial
law and in addition the Ninth regiment
was ordered 10 the scene from New York
yesterday. The outbreaks are a result OF
the strike of the street car operatives.
The troops fired into the crowd last eve
ming when the soldiers who filed one of
the cars We're stoned. Leroy Smith, one
OF the most prominent merchants of the
city, and William Walsh, a young bust
ness man, were shot in the volley which
the militiamen turned into the crowd, and
it is believed both are mortally wounded.
A long conference was held last night

IN Albany al what is deemed by many
citizens TO be the rash action of the
troops in firing, but the Lieutenant in
command of the squad was exonerated
by his superiors. Many motormen who
took the places of strikers have been in
Jured by missels. No citizens attempted
20 use the electric cars yesterday, and
the only cars run were regular arsenals
filled with soldiers.
