THREE COLLECT FOR CHURCH.
Curious Proceedings by Primitive
 Holland Village Congregation.

Youths Companion.
 A Sunday among the staid burghers of Holland gave Clifton Johnson an opportu- nity to see three church collections taken up in rapid Succession. He had asked to
 be directed to characteristlc country
 church in an outlying village. As re-
 sult he went by train from Leyden to
 little place where there was a church as
 severe in its simplicity as the meeting
 houses of colonial New England.
 It resembled them, too, in its chilliness,
 for there was no attempt at warming 1t,
 and the people were dependent upon loot
 stoves of the old fashioned type that was
 beginning to go out of vogue in America
 100 years ago Several scores of these
 little boxes stood in the chucn empty,
 neatly piled against the wall, ready to
 be filled with smoldering peat ana sup
 piled to the worshipers as they came in.
 When the time for the collection arrived
 a man started out from the railed eff space before the pulpit, which space was occupied by the elders and with black pocket at the end of an eight foot pole proceeded to his task. With this acces- sorry he could reach to the end Of 6 pew, some worshiper with the butt end while making his short reaches.
 Everybody in the congregation put in
 something and the collector made a little bow every time a coin jinylej m the pocket He had gone about half way | round when another elder started out | with another bag and pole. The WI ter | wondered he had not started oesore His | purpose, however. was not to help his fel- | low collector finish his work Indeed, he | started just where the other h"d begun l and passed the bag to the same people, ! and every one dropped in a com IS faith | fully as he had done the first time. Nor was this the end. for the second i collector had no sooner got 2 gooi start than third stepped out from the pulpit front with bag and pole and wsnt as | Industriously over the ground Ls the two | others had done. He was just 9a sue
 cessful as his predecessors.
 Things were getting serious. The stranger had put silver in the first hog. but fearing that the collection might con tinue indefinitely he dropped copper ccins in the second and third bags, and was not a little relieved when he saw that the rest of the men in the elders seat kcpt
 their places.
 Later he learned the secret O. the pro

 third for the poor. As each member of
 the congregation contributed one Holland

A Danvilie dispatch to Mondays
Courier-JOurnal SAYS: The literary So
cieties OF Central University are in a
tangle over the union of those which
were transferred from Richmond with
the organizations in this city. 1t was
at first proposed that the stronger so
ciety from Richmond should mite with
the weaker one in this city, aud that
the weaker organization from that
place should merge into the stronger
one of Centre. This arrangement was
at first satisfactory until it was discov-
cred that the numerically weaker one
here was the Chamberlain, named after
the first president Of Centre College,
and one of the oldest literary organi-
cations in the State.
Considerable objection has been
raised by the Centre contingent to sac
rlficing the name of the society, and il
is thought that they will refuse to dc
so. The Richmond boys will probably
have to consent to surrender the names
of their old societies or reorganize
them here.

ROOSEVELT'S IDEA
ABOUT THE TRUSTS
Believes in Government Cor
troll and Publicity.

In his speeches, while in office and
while campaigning, Mr. Roosevelt has
recognized grievances Of the people
against certain forms Of combination of
capital 10 the industrial and CONNER
cial world.
He believes that the trusts should be
under national and State control. and
that the first step toward reform should
be the enforced publication of their
accounts. He discussed the trusts in
his first message as Governor He in
sisted on greater publicity, but said;
"rhe machinery of modern business
is Sc vast and complicated that great
caution must be exercised insintroduc-
ing radical changes for fear the unfOre
seen effects may take the shape OF
widespread disaster"
And again, later, in discussing the
same problem, he went still farther.
saying:
''Our interests are at bottom common,
in the long run We go up or go down
together. Yet more and more is il
evident thst the State, and Unnecessary
the nation. has got to possess the right
of supervision and control as regards
the great corporations which are its
creatures; particularly as regards the
great business combinations which de-
rive a portion of their importance from
the existence of some monopolistic
tendency"
As to the rights of the people with
respect to public franchises, this from
one of Mr.. RoOsevell's messages as
Governor. in defense of the Franchise
Tax Law, is regarded as an unequivo-
cal exposition Of his position:
1.-The Franchise Tax Law is framed
with the intent of securing exact aud
equal justice, no more. no less. 1t is
not in any way intended as a means Of
prosecuting or expressing corporations.
But it is intended that property which
derives its value from the grant of a
privilege by the public shall be taxed
prOportiOnately to the value of the pri-
vilege granted"
