In a recent interesting discourse on
the question. is the Pulpit Free"
Rev, Frederick c. Priest got at the root
of the matter when he said that the
preacher should be a specialist and
should attend TO his speciality. Within
the limits of that speciality and the
creed that he processes his freedom is
as perfect as human freedom can be.
He is always secure in the approval of
his pariShionerS when he breaches a
thoroughly Christian sermon, founded
on the moralities and the promises of
the gospel and more than that, it is by
such sermons alone that he can best
help, comfort and inspire his hearers.
But the peculiar respect which he COM
mandS as n specialist vaniShes imme-
diately when he goes out of his sphere
to talk dogmatically upon questions of
secular controversy about which he
may know much less than some of his
auditors. There are preachers who
seem to have a persistent itching dur
ing political campaigns to bring the
pulpit into politics and who deceive
themselves by imagining that their
partnership comes of God, when it is
just the ordinary kind. They may con-
tent themselves with yelled allusions or
they may go so far as to express eulogy
or denunciation, but in either case they
are using the church as a campaign
wigwam when they should hire hall.
1t is wonder that such alterations are
tolerated as much as they are, and GER
tainly there could be no blaming a pew
holder for protesting when he believes
that there is more of the devil than of
God in the preachers party. 1t is his
right to protest and to demand that his
temper shall not be ruffled by the dis
ingenious or over-Zealous pulpiteer,
who Is taking him at a mean disad-
vantage and depending on him for
financial support at the same time.
Aside from the question of authority,
men are sated with such stuff anyway
during the week, and if they go to
church Sunday it is to be recalled to
the spiritual side of life, which is too
much neglected. There is still enough
in 1t and in pure religion for centuries
upon centuries of sermons, as there has
been in the past. The speciality is still
rightly considered the greatest of spe-
cialties, and when 1t is properly full
filled it ministers more to the higher
aspirations of humanity than any other
and commands veneration that is a
very bulwark against those who would
curtail its just freedom.

Where the Gluepot Came In.

There was the usual collection of
commercial travellers in the smoking
room of the hotel, and the inevitable
quiet man was one of them. They had

which had been received with roars of
laughter, as being particularly clever
Then the quiet man lit fresh cigar
and spoke:

with the larceny of a bicycle. There
was not the slightest doubt as to the
guilt of the prisoner, and his attorney,
explaining privately to the district at
torney that the boy had previously
borne an excellent character, persuad-
ed that official to consent to q plea of
petit larceny, the penalty for which of
fense is confinement in the Jail for
from a day to six months, the penalty
for grand larceny, for which the de-
fendant was indicted, being not less
than one nor more than three years in
the penitentiary.
The young man thereupon withdrew
his plea Of not guilty of grand larceny
and pleaded guilty of petit larceny.

said the chief justice, addressing the
astonished district attorney and dis
gusted counsel for the defense, 'let the
trial proceed on the Indictment"

after an absence Of two or three min

THE LATE POTTER PALMER.
Pioneer Merchant and One of the
Builders of Chicago.

Potter Palmer one of the men who
made Chicago the metropolis of the
West, and for years a conspicuous fig
ure in its financial and social circles,
died at his fine residence on the elegant
Lake Shore Drive in that city recently.
For some weeks he had suffered from
a stomach ailment, out of which grew
a nervous disorder and ultimately heart
failure, the latter being the immediate
cause of death
Potter Palmer was born in Potter's
Hollow, Albany County, n. Y, in 1926.
Of Quaker farmer parentage. At 1S he
became clerk in country store in

ed store of his own in Oneida and
later at Lockport. While visiting Chi.
cago in 1851, when that city had 10000
inhabitants, he saw in it place of
promise. He sold his Lockport stock
and with $4,000 capital opened a store
in Chicago. He introduced novel ideas
in the dry goods trade, such as the ex-
change of unsuitable goods, personal
result was instant success for the new
merchant. His first years sales amount
ed to $4,000. Then came the Civil
War, and Palmer foreseeing what a
shortage there would be in cotton, and
what consequent rise in its value, as
well as In that of woolen goods, spent
every dollar he had on those products
and filled several warehouses. In less
than four years he had made over
81, 100000. Marshall Field and Levi
Letter became his partners during this
time and laid the foundations of their
great walth. When the war was pro
crossing Palmer loaned large sums, as
high as S750,000 at one time, to the gov
ernment.
| In 1867 Palmer retired from the dry
goods trade and took up real estate
transactions. He determined to make
State street, then little more than a
wide alley, the principal thoroughfare
of Chicago. Within six months he had
bought three-quarters of a mile of
frontage on that street. He succeeded
in having it widened When the great
fire came in 1871 Mr.. Palmer had nine
ty-five fine buildings in the city, includ-
ing the Palmer House. All were de-

Peter Peterson, of Winsted, CT, as

determined to abandon all business en-

returned. Then he had to combat the
people who sought to remove the bust

other part of the city, and these specu-

army of workmen upon the ruins of the
old buildings, and soon there arose new
