"VICTOR HUGO."
Splendid Lecture by pr. Jenkins Lloyd
 Jones at Temple Emanuel.

A large and delighted audience listened to Dr. Jenkins Lloyd Jones' lecture on Victor Hugo at Temple Emanuel last night under the auspices of the l. o. B. B.
 The distinguished speaker discussed various phrases of Hugos life and dwelt particularly upon his passionate love for his fellow men and upon his heroic work fin behalf of cherished principles. Born an aristrcrat, Hugo became the greatest of democrats; born and reared a Catholic he early broke from the church and to the end of his long life battled for right eousness outside the churchs pale. Dr. Jones said there were many religions, but only one religion, and this religion his hero had in a profound degree. He was A man of intense piety-not in the con ventional sense, but in the broader, bet ter sense. Hugo had made a list of the worlds immortals-Homer, Isaiah, So- phocles, Aristotle, Gallileo, Shakespeare, Beethoven, Voltaire-fifty of them in all, and to this list Dr. Jones added Victor Hugo. The verdict of coming generations would surely place him there.
 Hugo made labor a test of religion and of greatness and the doctrine of the
The age-herald., 1901-03-25

brotherhood of man involved that of the dignity of labor Manual toilers and brain toilers were members of the same fraternity and it was for the uplifting of all workers and all suffering humanity that Hugo was using his mighty efforts.
 pr. Jones only alluded by name to his hero's works of fiction, assuming that his hearers were familiar with them, but in portraying the life of Hugo chronolog- ically, he had many splendid climaxes. Indeed, such moving. impassioned elo- quence has seldom been heard in this city.
 At the conclusion of his lecture the doctor was loudly applauded and Rabbi Newfield voiced the appreciation of the audience in a few felicetious remarks.
 pr. Jones has several other lectures on Victor Hugo, or, rather, lectures in the way of critical analyses of his books which he will probably be induced to de- liver here by and by

!. Murfreesboro, Tenn, March A.-Early Saturday iaorning Miss Eliza Burrus, a young lady of prorE.-.cf:ce in this com munity, died Later developments show a distressing case of suicide. Miss Bur rus saturated her clothing with coal oil and set fire to them. She had been deep ly distressed over the loss of a position as teacher in a school here and recently had made two attempts to end her life, timely interference saving her. The third attempt proved successful, however, the body of the unfortunate girl being found in the parlor of her home, the flesh char red by her burning clothing. Curiously enough the flames were not communi- cated to the furnishings in the room. Brooding over misfortune it is said by friends had unbalanced Miss Burrus mind.

MAGNATE MORGAN
Clashes With a Church To Which He
 Gave Half a Million Dollars.

N. Y. Special to Chicago Tribune.
 Friction that has arisen between J. Pierpont Morgan, who is one of the trustees of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, and some of the clerical trustees is a theme of much gossip in Episcopelian circles It is said the trouble was precipitated by the trans fer of the cathedral trust fund from MT. Morgan's bank to the Union Trust Company.
 Samuel D. Babcock, treasurer of the Cathedral Association, when asked for an explanation of the transfer, said:
 "The transfer was made because some of the members of the associa- tion complained that the funds were used by private individuals.
 Now, it don't make any difference who it was who used the funds whether it was MT. Morgan or any other man-the board did not want them used, and that settled it.
 "In accordance with the wishes of a majority of the members of the asso- citation we took the money from MT. Morgan's bank and put it in the trust company's vaults, where it can only be drawn out by at least two sigma lures of trustees.
 If any one has reason to feel of- tended at the action, I don't see that the board is to blame. It Is simply a business proposition"
 It is said Bishop Potter has defend ed the action taken by some of the trustees. When the project to build the cathedral was started MT. Morgan was one of the most enthusiastic sup porters. He gave $500000 toward the cathedral and others have given near ly as much more. It is estimated that S5,000,000 more will be needed.
 Since the transfer of the trust fund several months ago, it is said, MT. Morgan has shown his displeasure by being absent from board meetings.

Fixed Charges.

Fixed Charges.
 "Now the company has fixed charges in the shape of interest, taxes and rent als which we may take at s600O,OOo per annum in even figures. Against these charges, however, 1t has other income which may safely be estimated at s60O,- 900 per annum. Thus the net fixed charge against operations is s5,4Oo000, but for safety's sake we may take it at $5,500,O0.
 Consequently, the income account would read thus
 Gross earnignS ...... ........... $28 800, 900 Operating expenses ............... 16, GOO 900 Nel earnings -............ Sl1, ,HUO,UOO Net fixed charges .... ........... $500, 900 This balance would be equal to about 12 per cent on Louisville and Nashville stock, and may be represented as the most favorable estimate of earning ca pacity that can fairly be made under ex- isting very favorable conditions"
