DR.. GLADDEN. on the Religious Press.

Dr.. Washington q adGen vas got ":ue vi
the marB v hen speaking of the needs OF coun-
try churches, he said:
1--WE are proud to say that the periodicals
that tell OF farming, and stock growing,
are on our farmhouse tables. We find time
also to attend the farmers institute, and en-
Joy the spicy teaching OF the men who take a
broad view Of agriculture. Fashion month,

There is much in what DIR. GLADDEN. says
II the periodicals to which he refers paia
more attention to religious matters, very
much of the necessity for religious newspa
pers would be removed. The secular press Is
surely deficient in the matter OF religious
reading, and they would profit by the sugges.
tions OF DR.. GLADDEN.. Why not devote as
much space 10 religious matter, or church
news, as is given to any one Of the subjects
referred to by him? The tendency Of the
secular press Is to cover the field, and extend
their usefulness. Thirty years ago but little
church news or religious matter appeared In
any secular newspaper. Now, the churches
avail themselves Of the use OF the local news
papers.

9Ehe Rescue OF Mr.. and Mrs. Berwick
Sas Bradley.

The Mail and Express Of New York gave q
very accurate account Of the escape Of Mr.
and Mrs. Bradley from the burning hotel.
!! Its said in substance: Mr. and Mrs. Brad
ley appeared at a window on the fifth floor on
the Park Avenue, side Of the building near
{ thirty.third street. Mrs. Bradley seems to be
cool; herhusband hysterical. Mrs. Bradley
climbed out Of her window onto an eighteen.
inch ledge that was covered with Ice and
snow, her husband following. Hand In hand
! they crept along the ledge, q distance OF sixty
feet, with their bodies pressed against the hol
wall, to point over the portIco in the centre
: or the hotel, from which the fireman had
erected ladders to the ffth floor. When Mr..
and Mrs. Bradley had finished their danger
Gus walk along the wall Of the hotel and
placed their feet firmly upon the ladder, q
mighty cheer went up from the crowds on the
streets. y;
This was equaled only by that which arose
3 from the crowd when husband and wife
reached the ground in safety. An eye wit.
ness speaks thus Of the matter:
Mrs. Marion Foster Washburn, OF Chicago,
hurt, says that as she fed from her room she
saw policemen throwing their weight against
3 the doors OF rooms and smashing them in.
Some Of the guests. she says, were dragged I
! was filed with smoke when she escaped. :.
There was one woman who had nerve y
continued Mrs. Washburn. "She and her
husband had climbed out OF their room on
4 standing on an iron balcony one floor below
and five windows to the right OF them. The
3 woman crept along the ledge till she was just
above the fireman. Then At his command
she dropped into his arms. Her husband fol.
Z lowed and both we're saved"
II may be added that Mr.. and Mrs. Bradley
each had an ankle sprained slightly in jump.
ping, but were able TO sail the following day
\ for Manila.
The passage from the window to the point
7 from which Mr., and Mrs. Bradley Jumped
into the arms OF the man below occupied
J, eighteen minutes. Their course was watched
i BY great multitude Of people with most
) thrilling interest, az they picked each steps
most cautiously. Mr.. Bradley refused To
leave the room before the departure ofhis
bride. But when she was ready to make the
perilous journey, they Joined hands, as they
had lately Joined hearts, and II either had

have been dashed from their dizzy height "

Biennial Sessions.

{ We think the Legislature did right in kill
ing the biennial sessions bill. II our Legis-
lators are really in earnest In an effort TO save
the expense Of Legislative sessions, they
could easily cut the sessions down to twenty
days In each year. They might even reduce
the sessions down to ten days, which would be
equal to quadrennial sessions or one forty days
session In four years. The desired end could
be easily secured in this way, and save all the
trouble and expense incident to a change in
our laws.
We notice, however that even the Legisla.
ture, which talked so much about biennial
sessions held together for the last day OF the
forty days pay allowed by the Constitution.

The Shame OF IL.
Charleston Post.

It wonld be waste of words to bewail the
disgrace brought upon South Carolina by her
Senators engaging In free fight upon the
floor OF the United States Senate. II Is scarce
ly a surprise that this crowniug shame OF the
pot-house quarrel between them is wrought,
but there will be no cure OF IL, therefore. why
repine? Ifthe two should be expelled from
the Senate, az they deserve to be, one OF them,
at least, and he the more responsible for the
outrageous exhibition, would be returned by
his State, so that 1t might be said their con-
duct fairly represents their State. That ~
the hard part OF 1t.

his disappointment has eaten into his
heart more and more, he has grown
blunter with this insinuation and
more bitter in his hatred of his COL
league, who dared think and act for
himself. Finally, in the senate Satur.
day in discussion with Senator
Spooner, Tlllman agreed that the in.
huence of Bryan was potent, but in
sisted that even his influence was not
sufficient to induce the senate to ratify
the treaty. After he had done all that
it was possible for him to do, Tillman
asserted, the Republicans yet lacked
votes enough to secure ratification.
You know" he shouted, shaking bis
finger at the Republican side, "hoW
those necessary votes were secured"
Senator Spooner promptly called the
bluff. How were they secured ?" he
demanded.
II know, if the senator does not,'
replied Tillman. II have received in
formation in confidence from that side
of the chamber. I know from that
that improper influences were used in
getting those votes"
Tillman long ago proved himself O
past master in the art of insinuation
and innuendo and the above insinua-
ton was in his best style.
But Senator Spooner pinned Till
man to the wall so that he could not
get away leaving his insinuation
merely an insinuation. as has been
his custom heretofore.
Name the man." insisted MIR.
Spooner, upon whom these influences
were brought to bear. 1t is due tt c
senator and due the country that he
name him. A man who impeaches a.
mother in confidence is coward. If
the senator knows of any man who
has been improperly influenced he
should name him."

VIII be Erected at Marcus Hook by
Pure Oh Company.
Philadelphia's standing as the
greatest exporting point for oil In
the world will soon be further
strengthened by the erection by
Pure Oil company of huge re-
fnery at Marcus Hook, which
comes within the limits of this port,
says the Philadelphia Record. The
Pure Oil company, which is an In
dependent corporation, and already
has an extensive storage plant and
a pier at the Hook, owns consider
able real estate on the Delaware
River front there on which the re-
fnery will be erected. This adjoins
the property of the United States
Pipe Line, the great Independent
rival of the Standard Oh company,
and the oil will come from that
company.
Bids are being asked by the pro-
jectors of the enterprise for the
immediate construction of the re.
finery, the plans for which were
completed several months ago. The
new plant when completed will be
one of the largest In the United
States. 1t will be supplied with oil
from the United States Pipe Line,
whose operations now extend be-
yond the bounds of Pennsylvania
Into the oil districts of West Vir-
ginia, distance, including
branches. of over 1000 miles.
This Is claimed by Its owners to be
the longest pipe line In the world.
Heretofore nearly all of the oil
shipped for export by the pipe line
has been the crude product. Ibut
with the erection of the refinery
the company will be In position
to supply both refined and crude
oil. The United States Pipe Line
and the Pure Oil company are
allied concerns, and work In con.
junction in the purchase and ex.
port of petroleufn and Its products.
Efforts will be made co refine, Tex
