THE LOAD OF WEALTH.
By Rev. EMORY J. HAYNES, D. D., Of New York

man, there is just this worm in the
apple to the man who has any conscience
and who has not? Great wealth has it's
moments OF personal challenge. When
least expected. the whole mass assumes a
personality. It points It's finger at you
and remarks: One Of these days you will
be asked pretty sharply what you did
with it. II you kick the question out
OF mind, IL manages TO enter again when
you are reflective or are spending rather
generously on yourself. II mixes itself
up with almost any phase OF religious be
lief man happens TO have. For in
theory God may be saDposed to love
all his creatures with an equal love.
That's the way I feel toward my chill
dren. And there is-more than my
share"
I inquired if this sense OF The moral
load Of wealth wore OF with years OF
the habitude Of being the rich man.
Yes and no. You get busy in schemes
NTH others. You lose the sense Of pro-
portion also. You are eager 10 win in
the game, just the same But the in
tensity Of the moral challenge, when IL
does Interrupt, Increases. There is such
a world OF barbarism about NE. Money
would cure il. I have The money. It
knocks me down. All rich men VIII tell
you I am right. 1 sincerely believe the
mental distress over the point Of &C
countabiIity exceeds The physical dis
tress Of poverty. To whom much is
given, Of him shall much be required.
But the young men who have not yet
got the wealth seem to me never to
suspect in the least that there is any
such worm in the apple Certainly the
dear girls. who so adore wealth. never
imagine it."
The gentleman whUse remarks are
quoted is one of the most wise and gen
erous givers in he land.

CIGARS FOR ROYALTY.

Two crowned heads OF Europe have
their cigars made expressly Tor them By
the largest factory in Havana. according

Kaiser prefers much smaller cigar.

inches in length by thirteen-sixteenths OF
an inch in diameter.
These cigars are not on sale 10 the gen
eral public. They are made Up in lots OF
1000 which is the regulation order re-
ceived from the royal customers Of the
Cuban factory. Nevertheless. a few Of
these prize Havanas are kept on hand for
sale 20 travellers as souvenirs. and in
that way many a c0nnOisseur is able on
special occasions TO enjoy a royal smoke.
As might be supposed. the cigars are
made from the choicest selected leaves
and by the best worlmen in the factory.
The men who roll the cigars for King Ed
ward receive 25 cents for each cigar they
finish. These cigars are worth 81 each in
Havana. and If offered for sale in New
York with the duty paid each would cost
$2-30 II is only a few weeks ago that
the secretary Of the King Of England sent
the factory a draft for about s. 900. with
an order for 900 cigars The cigars made
for Emperor William cost IS cents each in
Havana, and in New York they would be
worth IS cents each at wholesale. These
cigars are shelved in punches OF ten OF
fifteen in beautiful cabinets. built 10 &C

The American admiration for wealth is
an undoubted national trait. We count
its possession. whether by requirement.
Inheritance or marriage, as happiness"
Almost the entire American youth OF to-
day would say unhesitatingly yes, wealth
is happiness" OF this there is no doubt.
The youth of the Middle Ages counted
glory as happiness. ana deeds Of valor
were the great goal. The youth OF the
age just back Of US reckoned liberty as
the prize But now, at least in this coun-
try, money is .he prize Of life.

REPUBLIC OR AUTOCRACY +?

To be candid, it Is doubtful if the
massrs of Washington would find
much fault with the prevailing form
of government If they were accorded
that treatment by Congress which
they believe they deserve. They are
convinced that campaign for prog
ress should be endorsed by the legis-
lative power which holds the munici-
pality in the hollow Of its hand
As has been said, the debate which
is certain to follow the presentation
of diametrically opposite opinions is
likely TO clear up some mismder-
standings. And we trust that viii

ject which is 20 carry Americas beau
tiful representative city onward and

Intense interest has been excited
by the publication in The Times Of
the opinions on the character of the
government which pertains today in
the Capital City of the Nation The
claim ON one side that it is an auto
cracy and on the other that il is the
ideal form of representative govern
ment is likely to result in a prolong-
ed and educational discussion of the
antagonistic propositions.
Various experiments have been
made in the matter of governing the
Federal City. Other forms of author

Pittsburg, July 4.-Half million per-
sons greeted President Roosevelt in
Pittsburg today. They came not only
from Pittsburg and Allegheny, but from
the scores of industrial towns within 100
miles of the city. 1t was the dis
tinguished guests first visit to Pitts
burg president and his welcome was
most enthusiastic. From the Union sta
tion to the speakers stand in Schenley
park, nearly four miles away, it was
one continuous cheer.
The weather was all that could be de-
sired, with the sun shining brightly and
the temperature not too high. Presi-
dent Roosevelt reached the Wilkins
burg station of the Pennsylvania rail-
that point, which is within the city
limits, a local reception committee,
headed by George T. Oliver, boarded the
train. The run into Union station con-
sumed 20 minutes during which time
the members of the committee were in

Immediately commenced to boom forth
the presidents salute of 81 guns. The
last gun of the salute was fired as the
president stepped from his car.
The president was then escorted to his
carriage. Those who occupied the car
riage with the president were City Re-
corder J. 0. Brown, United States At
torney General P. c. Knox and George
B. Cortelyou, secretary to the president.
The other carriages in waiting We're
promptly filled by the reception COM
mittee. The bugler of Sheridan troop
sounded the assembly call, which was
the signal for Brigadier General John
A. Wylie, commander of the military
escort, to order the movement of the
men, representing the Eighteenth regi-
ment the Fourteenth regiment. the
Tenth regiment, which saw Philippine
service, Sheridan cavalry troop of Ty-
rene, the boys brigades and independent
military organizations.
At a signal from the bugler of the
Sheridan troop, General Wylie and staff
moved from their position at the Liberty
avenue approach to the Union station
to the head of the column and directed
the start and in a moment the whole
line was in full swing on the four mile
