people, many schemes are laid by which
to catch the unwary. The following
paragraph from the Habneman Month

word Of warning 'to unwary lambs:"
Almost every mail brings to our
desk a communication inviting us TO
invest our hard-earned money In yarl-
Gus ventures, promising remuneration
OF anywhere from 20 per cent to LOCO
per cent per annum. These circulars
are skilfully worded 10 deceive the UNI
wary and inexperienced. To those who
have been caught they are so trans

could be SO credulous as TO be caught
by such schemes. The companies be-
Ing promoted are nearly always doing
business at a distance-anywhe in

The death OF Rev. Hugh Price Hughes

English Wesleyans the most pro.
nounced, vigorous personality enlisted
In the forward movement OF that de.
nomination, and from the English Non.
Conformists one Of the most aggressive
and influential Of the champions OF
the principles for which the free church
stands. He had all the ardor and pug
naoity of his Welsh. and the keen intel
lectuality of his Jewish, ancestors.
Whether on the floor of the general con-
ference as give-and-take debater or In
his pulpit at the West End Mission, ap-
pealing evangelistioally to the thou
sands who thronged that great mission
for the people, or In the columns Of the
Methodist Times, a journal which he
established and edited, he was ever
alive Keen, pungent and singularly eff
feotlve In moving men to take action
along lines indicated by him.

The Brooklyn Eagle,

The conference OF religion now in
progress In this city is manifestation
of a tendency. apparent In many
churches, to magnify the points of
agreement among religious denomina-
tions. rather than to accentuate differ
ences. The conference covers the state
OF New York and Is denominations are
represented on It's executive commit
tee. 1t has no creed or statement of
principles even, but its spirit was set
forth In the speech OF Rev ]. NJ. Whit

that 1t is not we'll for religious men ia

Jesse james," James champion held
that Jesse was a holder man than
Tracy because he fought against great
er odds, and because he was regarded
as being the bravest man of his day.
Tracy's champion claims Tracy was a
holder man, because he lAlled more men
than James did and because he Travelled

favor OF Jesse James. These young
Websters and Haynes will next deter

Public OpInIon.

A simple and sensible form OF Chris
tan federation seems 10 be that which
a Pennsylvania layman, Benjamin G..
Welch, superintendent Of the Eagles
Mere railroad, is urging with consider
able diligence. He has projected a
scheme whereby when church members
remove from one town TO another they
may be received OF any evangelical
church as 'fraternal associates" All
that they need Is a letter from their
pastor saying that their Christian
standing Is satisfactory, and on that
basis they are received at the COM
munlon table and become TO all intents
and purposes working members Of the
church body. The plan is considered
particularly well adapted TO the inter-
change between churches OF different
denominations.

on that ground fight might be made,

But there can be no constitutional or

Disputes OF long standing and the in
evitable bitterness which grows out Of
such unhealed differences, are often
due, not so much to the original offense
as to the difficulty Of bringing the dis
putants together. The person who Is
more to blame is TOO proud to acknowl-
edge his error while the aggrleved per-
son will make no move until the other
shows some sign OF penitence. And all
the while time instead OF healing the
sore, Is making II deeper. The parties
should have the noble conception OF
the value OF reconciliation which is re-
corded Of Aristippus and Eschlnes. The
two had quarreled. Arlstippus came to
his opponent and said, "Eschnes,
shall we be frlends?' YES" said the
other, with all my heart" But, re-

HAD A FATAL FALL.
Mrs. Cooper Was About to Welcome
Her Husband When Death Came.

Brunswick, Ga, Dec. 10.-Mrs. An
drew Cooper, wife of Captain Andrew
Cooper, of the steamer Iris, met with
a tragic death late Monday night, as
the result of a peculiar accident.
Captain Cooper had just returned to
his home and was at the front door
waiting for his wife to come to adj
init him. Mrs. Cooper called out that
she was coming, and then her husband
heard the sound of a heavy fall. He
called his wife several times, but re-
ceived no reply, and he hastily made
an entrance through the window, and
upon the bedroom floor he found his
wife lying dead.
Captain Cooper Immediately sum-
moned DR.. Hugh Burford, and it was
discovered that the neck of the un>
fortunate woman had been broken. 1t
is supposed that she made miss step
and fell in the darkness. In the fall
she struck her neck across the edge of
trunk with such force as to produce
death.
The affair caused general sorrow.
Captain Cooper and his little two
months son are left to morn the loss
of a devoted wife and mother.
