niridlnr a Long Sermon.

Or. Samuel Buell. Of the last half of
the eighteenth century, who used to
preach two or three hours, like Isaac
Barrows, was ingenious in OBTAINING
his congregation. On one occasion, aft
er preaching nearly two hours-as long
as he could feel secure in the presence
Of all his hearers-he remarked that
he was done preaching TO sinners and
that they were at liberty to go. The
rest OF his discourse would be address
ed to good people.
A gentleman who once went TO hear
him stated that when the hourglass
was nearly ready 70 be turned a sec
ond time from the commencement of
his sermon he said, much to the relief
Of the person who related it. "Once
more" After going on some eight or
ten minutes longer he said, "To con-
clude," and after another about equal
interval he said, Lastly"
The gentleman added that he expect
ed every moment to hear him say "Ev-
erlastingly."

The Test of Grentneas.

When Elliston went from London 70
his own theater at Birmingham, he
was known TO scarcely a member of
his own company. On reprimanding
one of them sharply the irate actor
threatened to kick him of the stage
He rushed to the stage manager and
asked who that man was.
''Mr. A." said the manager.
"a great man, a very great man,
said Elliston. "He threatened to kick
me, the lessee of Drury Lane. Such a
man as that must so to London. He
mustn't waste his energies here" And
he engaged the actor on the spot fol-

What might have happened next who

Wilmington A. A. took its second
game from the York Y. NJ. c. A. yes
terday afternoon. In the first two In
nings It looked as though the VIII
mington A. A. men were to have an
other matinee. one like those that have
been occurring quite frequently of late
aud thus make the game one-sided, but
with change Of pitchers the fun was
cut short and the men settled down to
hard work. Gilbert started to do the
twirling for the York Y. NJ. G. A.. but
the Wilmington A. A. soon found him,
and the way they pounded the ball
around the field was enough to make
Gilbert give up in disgust. He tried il
for another inning however, and when
he saw the visitors intended to keep up
their good work he went, out and al
lowed Kilheiifer, the star pitcher OF
the Franklin and Marshall College
team. to take his place. The new
man was a little more effective, and
ended the run-getting for Wilmington
A. A. Everson did all the work for
Manager Frysinger's club. and, as
usual, he pitched star game. The
York men could not solve his curves
and made but eight hits off his deliv
|ery.
Today the Wilmington A. A. will be
lat home. and will meet uhe Chester
team at the new ball park over the
bridge. The game promises to be fast
and exciting. and full of interest.

GOVERNMENT BILL
AGAINST BEEF TRUST
Official Complaint to Be Filed
Today at Chicago.
Attorney General Asks an Order to Pre-
vent Further Operation of the
Combine.

The Governments bill of complaint
against the packers combine, commonly
known as the beef trust, viii be fled at 8
O'Clock this afternoon in the United
States Circuit Court for the Northern dis
trict of Illinois at Chicago
The document was prepared by United
States Attorne- ). Il. Bethea, OF Chicago,
and Special Counsel William a. Day, Of
the Department of Justice here. Attor-
ney General Knox made some changes in
it, and then submitted it to the Presi
dent, who expressed his hearty approval
of it. both as to substance and form II
was then given 10 the Public Printer and
copies were sent yesterday TO Chicago.
with instructions that they be fled with
the circuit clerk at p. N. today. This
is after the usual hour OF adjournment OF
the court on Saturday, but arrangements
have been effected with the clerk to keep
his Office open until dr. Bethea appears
wtth the legal paper.
The bin is based on the provisions OF
the Sherman antitrust law. 1t charges
that the packers are maintaining com
bination, agT cement, or trust In restraint
of trade and commerce among the States;
thai they are parties to an agreement
which, in effect, provides for the abso-
lutte control Of the beef trade in the
United States by arbitrarily raising or
lowering the price OF beef.
It IS set forth that the maintenance OF
such combination not only is a form Of
trust prohibited by the statutes, creating
a monopoly and sitting competition, but
that il works a great hardship upon the
public The charge is also made that the
packers are maintaining d blacklist, IN
der which they compel retailers to submit
to their arbitrary rulings or force them
out of trade. It is understood that the
bill mentions number of specific viola
tions of the Sherman law.
The petition prays for an injunction
against the further operation of the COM
bine. its effective dissolution, and meas
ures to prevent the members thereof from
agreeing, combining, or Colluding In the
future to maintain rules or agreements
as To the price of beef which would in
any way cause restraint Of trade and
commerce among the States.
Immediate hearing will be asked for IN
order that goods in transit sent cut by
members of the combine shall come under
the operation OF the injunction.
