WHAT NEXT IN THE PULPIT.

Rev. Tyndall, pastor of the First Re
formed Church of Mount Vernon, New
York, took a wireless telegraphy in
strument into his pulpit last Sunday
and spoke on the subject: Wireless
Telegraphy and Its Spiritual Simili-
tudes." The texts on which this dis
course was founded were: BLESSED
are your eyes, for they see, and your
ears, for they hear" and, IF any man
hath ears to hear, let him hear"
The instrument was constructed to
demonstrate the Marconi system. 1t
consists of a box about twice the size
of an ordinary cigar box, and attach
ed to it was a pole about eight feet in
length. From the bottom to the top OF
this pole a wire was suspended.
Nj. Tyndadl began his As
he walked about he touched a button
IN the top Of the box at intervals
Each time the button was pressed the
bells under a wire on the platform
back of the pulpit rang clearly. The
congregation marvelled at the demon
stration and many were anxious to
press the button themselves. This priv
ilege was allowed them by the minis.
ter while he continued his discourse.
All of which leads one to wonder
what the reverend fakirs of the metro.
politan pulpit will be at next in theil
efforts to draw an audience and keeT
it awake. Evidently there must b,
some kind OF ~mountebank work or sen.
sationalism or the pews remain empty
Preaching the grand and soul-stirrins
but simple and beautiful doctrines O
Christ no longer sufice-or, else, tn,
metropolitan pulpit in its sensational
ism has forgot how to teach those doc
trines.

ton is simple. Overhaul this kindred
mass of desolation; arrest the man and
mn aim. OF course he has no money
TO pay the fine. Put him In Jail. Lodge
the horses in a livery stable. Who will
pay for their board? Then shoot them.
The wagon is not worth fire wood
1t Is worthless. Turn the ma loose
and say. Now, we have improved you,
go and commence on a career OF crime,
petty thiewng; from that to grand lar
ceny."
In the cas- yesterday evening. it
seems that some poor wretch was ar
rested because his horses were thin and
blind. Adverse comments were made
by attorneys and by municipal officers.
There seemed to ne no crime except
that the horses were not fat. Allow
us here to suggest that the attitude
given or assumed by the Humane So
ciety's police Office Is much too des-
perate. There should be a provision
that no one. no matter how poor or
wretched, should he brought, ~befoPesany
magistrate until he had been furnished
with legal counsel and an indemnify
ing bond given by the officer making
the prosecution.
These poor, ignorant persons who
fall into the drag-net of the Humane
Society's officer are usually OF the low
est and most degraded class, and are
terroriZed n generally penniless and
know not what to 10. They can only
realize that they are "frisked,' that Ia
to say, fined; but had they means TO
settle the fines, we ask, would that
right the wrong? We submit these
suggestions for the consideration of
the Humane Society and to people OF
reasoning minds.

ssJIM. KEENE AND THE MINISTER

| 0JIM" KEENE AND THE ~
In a recent interview Mr.. James r
Keene, who looked after ]. p. Morgan's
| interests in the street." i n a At OF
moralizing on the causes OF the recent
| panic in Wall street said:
Men are bad. They're all bad. There
isn't such a thing as a good man. There
isn't a man in all the world I would trust
| were / a woman"
This cynical utterance of the great
speculator stirred up the Rev. DIR
Banks, of Grace M. E. church, Of New
York, who last Sunday said:
LAS a matter of fact this philosophy of
the Stock Exchange is ar utterly false
and devilish libel on human life. We all
know that there are m~ultitudes of good
men in every department of human at
fairs. There are men in every honorable
trade and in every decent profession who
live up to their light as God gives them to
see it, and who would die-and every year
some of them do die-rather than prove
false to themselves and their keen sense
of their duty to God and their fellows.
Il want to contradict with vehemence
the statement. The engineer on the rush
ing locomotive who dies at the throttle
when he could have jumped in safety, the
thousands of weak and frail creatures
who bear burdens much too heavy for
their shoulders without complaining and
in obedience to duty-all tend to show
that the Stock Exchange philosophers
statement is a lie.
You make a boy believe that no man is
to be trusted and you will nave done
your best to damn his life. This philoso-
ply of the exchange has done more to
damn the rising generation than any one
l have heard of. Tell a boy that every
one is bad and what lave you done? You
have damned his life and murdered his
soul, because you nave crushed his ideals.
You might better nave broken his neck.
Tell him that business all means the
throwing of sand in the eyes of your fell
low man, hat it is all robbery. and you
will ave told him that he cannot succeed
unless he becomes a thief
1t isn't often We are able to commend
gentlemen of the cloth for the common
sense of their ~utterances, since they
too often are lacking in actual know
ledge and practical experience, but the
truth of Rev. DIR. Banks statement is
within the knowledge of every honest
man of experience and there are honest
men, although Jim" Keene denies it.
The supposedly keen philosopher of
the Stock Exchange is really a very
simple and foolish fellow. How freely
he gives himself away" He holds up
the mirror to his own soul and thinks
he sees therein the soul of all the
world. 1t is an old trick of poor, weak,
blind humanity. The would-be secre-
tive and foxy Spectator is very human
and in t~raducing mankind simply re-
veals his own mean motives and his
lack of moral standard. he has hung
out a sign on which all men may read
Jim" Keene's estimate of himself. 1t
is also in the nature of a danger signal
to honest men to beware of Jim
Keene.

THE r

Yesterday the Register mentioned a
diatribe of Prof. j. Scott Clark, of the
Chicago University, against college-bred
women as wives. He included the col
lege-bred girl in his general attack on
society" women, whom he called par
asites.'
It is evident that Prof. Clark's dis
like of the c~ollege-bred women arises
from the fact that smart college girls
are gradually displacing such numb
skulls as Prof. Clark in some of our
schools of higher learning.
Mary Lowe Dickinson, who writes on
the subject of college Girls and the
Home" in the June Success" does not
take Prof. Clark's view of the college
bred girl. Il would urge college train
ing on each girl" says she, "if only
for the sake of the home she now has
and the home that may yet be her
own"
Think, for a moment, what she may
bring back to the home from which she
goes out to college, to share with the par
ents who in their youth had no such
chance as they had given her. They may
not care for her Latin and Greek, per-
haps, but they always care for the general
interest and knowledge that, while it does
not rob them of their daughter, gives them
a companion and friend.
Think what the college girl, who has
kept the love of home alive and warm in
her heart, may be to the younger brothers
and sisters, whose admiration for her
makes them as wax in her shaping hand.
There are no measurements to tell how
infinitely more she can be in the life of
her elder brother, because of the training
that lets her look out on life from his
point OF view, knowing what he knows,
able to move with him along lines of
thought where companionship is wise and
best.
BY and by, when she enters the home
of her hearts choice, what a power she
has of sharing a still dearer life, In whose
innost receSses she ought to be at home.
h a treasure she may bring, not of
mere facts out of mere books, but of train
of adapting means to ends-all gifts to be
applied to the home problem, SO complex
and so changing as to tax her resources
at their best. She may be all that is pos
sible as a woman, yet there is none too
much of her for the varied demands of
For its dear duties, her mental train
ing cannot be too thorough, or her heart
preparation too tender and warm. If,
now and then, she wearies of the small
nursery tasks, and feels that she has little
use for college training, let her remember
the close companion and most intimate
friend of the boy In the cradle, when ne,
too, passes out into life through the portal
of college days

UNDER CHAFFEE'S CONTROL.
Three Filipino Provinces Deprived

Manila, July 1S.-The United States
Civil Commission announced to-day
that after three months trial of pro-
vincial form of government in the ISL
ands of Cebu and Bohol and the prov
ince of Batangas, Luzon, control of
those districts, owing to their complete
pacification, has been returned to the
military authorities, it having been
proved that the committees are back
ward and not deserving of civil admin
istration.
The provincial and civil officials of
these designated districts will continue
their functions, but are now under the
authority of Gen. Chaffee instead of
that of Civil Governor Taft as hereto
fore. Gen Chaffee has the power ar
bitrarily to remove from office any or
all provincial or civil officials, and to
abrogate any section of the laws pro-
mulgated in these provinces.
The residents of the Island of Cebu
have protested. but without success,
against the return of that island to
military control. Several towns of
Cebu are still besieged by the insur-
gents The insurrection on the island
of BOIL has been renewed and insur-
gent sentiment in the province of Ba-
tangas is strong.
