respectable man, to feel that the leprous germs of sin may be imbedded in his own flesh
 Affluence and worldly honor sometimes seem to make men indifferent to all that Is vital for time and eternity. They are blinded to their sins and scoff at the warning that their own fate may yet be that Of the multitudes who, in the pal aces of the rich and the great have per ished from the same indifference
 Reckless and indifferent was the atti- tude of the people of London during the great plague about two centuries ago. Ainsworth, the historian, tells us that during those narrowing and grewsome months the London stores were nearly all closed. The doors of the private homes were nearly all barred and bolt ed save when they were opened at the approach of the bell ringer who was seated upon pile of stenchful corpses because he was out driving the dead cart and collecting the different bodies of the dead. Yet at that time in London there were men and women who whistled and laughed and danced and sang and blas- phemed under the very shadow of these horrors.
 But, though the leprosy of the soul like the leprosy of the flesh, be a disease be- yond the reach of the human soul, I would again draw your attention to the 1act that It yields to the touch of the Divine physician, as the affliction of Naa- man yielded at the Jordan waters. And there are especially two or three incl dents about the physical cure of Naa- man with which I would drive the truth home and lead you to the fountain of life The first was that he was induced to travel from Damascus to the home of the prophet Elisha through the influence or a little captive Jewish maiden who was slave of Naamans wife. I can imagine the little Jewish slave lying awake upon her humble couch as night after night she hears the great Syrian general tramping up and down in his palace rooms. She hears him groan when he Is awake. She hears him moan in his sleep because he is hopeless leper. She hears him toss restlessly about upon his bed. She hears him the more readily be- cause she Is sleeping in a nearby room, at the foot of Naaman's wife's bed, or in an adjacent room to her mistress, Then she hears the general and his wife talking of the cause of Naaman's trou- be. So one day she timidly pulls at her mistress skirts and says: Mistress, why do you not have master seek the prophet of Israel? He would cure him of his leprosyr" Then the horses were hitched to the chariots. Then the jour ney was taken to the far off prophets home.

most in danger of infection from our spiritual leprosy, there is another req son why for their sakes if not for our own, we should seek the divine germi- eide, to have the cleansing which Naa- man, the leper, received when, at God s command he dipped seven times in the river Jordan and his flesh became like unto that of a little child.
 The Infection of Sin.
 May none of us ever experience the remorse a broken hearted father felt many years ago. He was bending over the bleeding body of his only son, who had just been brought home in a dying condition from drunken carousal "Oh, my child! he cried. Why did you do this? Why have you broken your moth- CTS and fathers hearts?" The dying boy cruelty looked up into the face of his weeping parent and answered.: Why, father, what are you crying for? I am dying as the result of your sins as well as mine. You first taught me to drink at your own table. You are as much to blame as l." Yes, the infectious results of our own leprous sins are evidenced in the temporal and eternal destruction of those who ought to be nearest and dear est to our affectionate hearts.
 Leprosy is to be found in the homes of the rich and the poor alike; in the pdidCc anu III ltle uONels dL the King banquet table, as well as the beggar's gutter. For many years the world sup posed that leprosy was able to thrive only in the presidential alleys and filthy deAs of the east. Leprosy may originally start among the low social outcasts, but the leprous germ can live and thrive un- der the dazzling lights of a brilliant ball room as well as in the shilling air of the dark hovel of a criminals retreat. By handling the coin which is publicly used in India traveller may become infected with leprosy, some leper having handled the same coin. By simply touching a rock at the foot of which a leprous beg gar had crouched prince, arrayed in all the brilliant robes of royalty, may be- come a leper.
 few years ago the most influential man of the kings court in the Sand wich Islands was supposed to be an ec- centric individual because he always wore glove upon his left hand, but one day that courier was compelled to take off his kid glove, and he was found to be a leper.
 The Indifference of the Rich.
 The last people on earth to believe that they can be destroyed by the leprous germs of sin are the rich, the affluent she needs Christ. It Is easy enough to persuade the poor outcast. despised for her sins by the whole human race, that she needs Christ It is eaSy enogh to persuade the poor drunkard writhing in the fatal clasp of delirium, that he needs supernatural aid; but. oh, it is hard to persuade the rich man, the honored, the

Anthracite and Petroleum not
Duty Free.

When President Roosevelt said
the anthracite coal monopoly was
not sheltered by the tariff be over
looked one of the little iokers In the
Dingiey Act.
The coal schedule Of that remark
able statute imposes q duty of 81
cents ton on all coal that contains
lers than 90 per cent. of fixed car
bon. Welsh anthracite rarely has
over 80 per cent. of fixed carbon
and therefore, under a Treasury de-
cisiOn of 1898. is subject to duty
just as if IL were bituminous coal.
And when the President spoke of
refined petroleum oil as duty free he
overlooked the facts that Russia is
the only other country in the world
producing that article for export,
and that under the Dingley tariff
Russian oil must pay the same duty
II our ports as American oil pays in
Russian ports.which is IA cents
per gallon.
The Anthracite Coal and Standard
Oil Trusts do enjoy the shelter Of
the tariff along with nearly all the
othermonopolies- -New York World.

Our Warrington Letter.
WASHINGTON. Oct. s, 1902.


The widely advertised conference
between the president, the railway
presidents and the representatives
Of the striking coal miners has pass
ed into history and without appar-
ent beneficial results. President
Roosevelt made vigorous and elo-
quent appeal 10 both parties to sink
their differences for the common
good Of humanity which must iney-
itably suffer serious hardships as a
result Of further prolongation of the
strike. President Mitchell, of the
Mine Workers Union, promptly re-
piled with proposition to submit
all differences TO tribunal to be APP
pointed by the President, his men
TO go 20 work Immediately and to
abide by the decision of that tribu-
nal for period Of from one to FIVE
years as the tribunal might direct.
As was to have been expected from
the autocratic statements Of the OPP
orators in the past, they refused to
recognize MIR. Mitchell or TO consid-
er his proposition. Their one end
is 10 crush the union and nothing
short Of that will content them.
They pictured, inlurid terms, the
violence which accompanied the
strike aud blamed the Union for it.
although il is wellknown that in
every instance the union and its
president have deplored the violence
and, in so far as possible, have re-
strained the members. Needless to
say, the President was sorely dis
appointed at the failure OF his efforts.
-.
Ii is now predicted that the Pres
ident viii take more drastic meas
ures 20 end the strike and will pos
sibly call Congress in special ses-
sion. Just what Congress will be
asked 10 do, if So called, is not made
clear. The operators, although con-
stituting q combine in violation Of
the law, are the absolute owners OF
the coal mines and it is questionable
If, under the Law, Congress can en-
act Legislation which will affect the
case. The one weak point in the
President s argument was the fact
that Gov. Stone had failed 10 pre-
serve order in the coal districts. for
that enabled the operators to init
mate that the government was in
the same position as the strikers.
President Baer practically told the
President that he had interferred in
matter that was none Of his bust
ness and President Olyphant sent q
representative instead Of coming
hilnselfto theconference. while Pres
ident Cassett, of the Pennsylvania
Railroad, ignored Dir. Roosevelt s in
vitaticn 10 be present.
-.
The recent order of Postmaster
General Payne, BY which those post
masters who are appointed BY the
President are left Tree TO participate
Ia politics and are relieved from the
restrictions which apply 20 employees
coming under civil service provi-
sions, viii be source Of grstifica-
ton TO largenumberOf postmasters
throughout the country. The ma
iority OF these men owe their APP
pointments TO political influence
and. If they were incapacitated from
participating in the politics Of their
respective localities, would soon
lose their influence and their posi-
lions. Under the new ruling they
may run primaries, attend couven-
