NEW YORK. May 20,-"Socialism ar

Abbott in the pulpit OF Plymouth

private property exists so long will there
be ambition and strife for wealth on
the part Of the individual When We
have destroyed this, says the Socialist
and made everything into one state
in other words. when We have abolished
Mr.. Carnegie and established Mr..
Croker all will be well.
1T is our duty to make a nation so
pervaded by the spirit Of Christ that it
shall be a witness of the power and
grace Of God This We Americans have
done in a measure. We have treated
the foreigners who have come to US as
no nation has ever done We have
granted to them our factories and
schools. Our country is a revelation Of
the way the poor and lowly ought to
be treated.
Nothing is so inspiring as the way
the southern states have endeavored u

almost daily with others recovering from or in the first

against the balance of the world and the best you
do is to keep their blood in good condition. and thus
prevent or at least mitigate the disease You have
perhaps learned from observation experience that

children whose blood is pure not nearly so liable to

last night that Dr. Babcock was re-
ported to have killed himself in the
International Hospital Of Naples, the
Senator said:
The man committed this act, II the

same kind of a disease as the chagres
fever or the fever prevalent in the min

II knew Dr. Babcock not only as a
minister, a man of public life, but al
so intimately in private life. He was
a genius and man among a hundred

LOOKING FOR MRS. STANLEY.
She Is Supposed to Be Implicated in
Death Of Father Phillips.

NEW YORK, May 2O.-Detectives are
searching the city for the woman
known as the wife of "Dr." Kirk
Stanley, the massaeur, who is a prs-
oner in the Tombs because he is sus-
pected Of having been implicated in the
death Of the Rev. Father Phillips, the
Catholic priest whose body was found

detectives that Mrs. Stanley knsw az

with the woman who frequently call
ed on the doctor when he lived In
Forty-third street boarding house.
It was not until the massaeur had TAX
en- rooms in Ninth avenue that she was
introduced as his wife. 1t seems to be
established that the woman, whoever
she is was not present when the priest
and Stanley entered the Ninth avenue
rooms
No trace Of the woman could be found
up to a late hour last night. The po-
lice are anxious to find her in order
that they may question her in detail
as to where she was on the night when
the priest is supposed to have died.

fined to the Tombs. read the newspa-

Re cathedral at Genoa there Is
an emerald vase which is said to have
been one Of the gifts Of the Queen Of
Shcba TO Solomon. Its authentic
history goes back 500 years.
The tradition is that when King
solomon received it he filed it with
an elixir which he alone knew how
to distill, and Of which a single
drop would prolong human life to an
indefinite extent
A miserable criminal. dying Of
slow disease IN prison, besought the
king TO give him drop Of this magic
potion.
Solomon refused. ''Why should /
prolong so useless a life2" he said. Il
will give it 70 those whose lives will
bless their fellow.men.

the king was ia an III humor, or too
indolent TO open the vase, or he
promised aud forgot So the years
passed until he grew old, and many
OF the friends whom he loved were
dead; and still the vase had never
been opened.
Then the king, to excuse himself
threw doubt upon the virtues Of the
elixir
At last he himself fell III. Then

might save his own iife. He opened
