The Westbrook- Chronicle debates
the question Is wit or humor out OF
place in the pulpit" and renders its
decision in the negative. 1t is hard tC
define the border line of safety and
rropriety in this matter. An excess in
the direction of levity would be deplor
able, but the congregation is much to
be pitied which never ripples into q
smile. The religion which is made all
grimness and solemnity is forbiddng
particularly to young people. There
should be cheer not gloom in the
churches. The pulpit is no place for
minstrel jokes, but an apt allusion or
a bright story is often most effective in
driving home a moral truth, and by re-
ievingt the strain of a serious discourse
lit helps both preacher and people. 4
In our own glad and fortunate coun-
try the seasons might well be known
by their respective dominant pies-for
each there is an appropriate pie, with
apple pie for all the year round. Did
you ever think OF it? Thus the winter
months constitute. the. fainee1 pie sea-
son, this highly spiced. juicy and meaty
composition having the power to main
tain the normal temperature of the
body in zero weather. With the early
spring come the light and joyous
custard. lemon and rhubaTb pies, to
quiet the tender yearnings for the I'M
defined. The perfect days of June
welcome the lip-painting berry pies,
which increase in variety through July
and until August offers the luscious
peach. Then, as nature paints the for
ests with her magic brush. comes in the
golden glory of the year. the royal
pumpkin pie.

GRADE CROSSINGS
 BEING CONSIDERED
PROPERTY OWNERS WILL AT.
 TEND THE MEETINGS OF JOINT
 COMMITTEES OF RAILROAD AND JUDICIARY AND DISCUSS PLANS.

Several men who own property in the immediate vicinity of the Twentieth street grade crossing were asked yester- day if they would attend the meeting to be held later in the month by the joint railroad and judiciary committee of the city council which adopted a reso- lution Monday inviting railroad represen- tatives and the property owners to meet and confer with the committee as to the best method to be adopted in affording protection at the grade crossings, and they said they would do so.
 The suggestion by Alderman Gray that viaduet be built at the Twentieth street crossing was discussed among number of citizens, but when questioned they were reticent about expressing opinions as to the feasibility of the plan.
 Alderman Gray was asked about the plan at this point He said he thought there were but three plans which, in either instance. if followed would prove available. He believes a viaduct, a sub way or elevated tracks for the railroads would answer the purpose and solve the question. The question, he. said, being one of great consequence, required care ful study, as 1t involved no small under taking in whatever plan was agreed upon.

AN EMINENT PHYSICIAN
CONDEMNS MUSHES.

In a lecture delivered some months since
before the students Of a wellknown western
university, at the invitation of its president,
Dr.. Kellogg OF Battle Creek, who has a
world wide reputation as an expert in dete-
tics, condemned in most decided terms that
almost universal boarding house dish, oat-
meal mush, and similar preparations of wheat
and corn, as being productive Of weak stom-
achs. impoverished blood, weak nerves and
muscles, and incapable of sustaining vigorous
mental activity Cereals are the best brain
and nerve food said the doctor, when
properly prepared. which includes thorough
cooking or dextrinizing, exposing at a
temperature sufficient to brown the starch
and destroy the disposition to form pasty
Jumps in the stomach, which are most ind-
gestble. and sure to ferment and give rise
to various gastric disorders, and consequent
reduction of bodily health and energy"
Science is against the mushes and they
must go. They will be replaced by a variety
OF thoroughly deXtrinized cereals. The best
now on the market is known as Toasted
Wheat Flakes, sweetened with Malt Honey,
which consists OF wheat pressed into thin
flakes, thoroughly cooked and toasted, ready
TO serve at once from the package. 1t is the
most inviting dish to the eyes and palate. It
has the advantage that it not only nourlshes
and sustains as no other food, but it is at
the same time almost unfailing remedy for
indigestion, constipation and other CASTRO
Intestinal disorders. Every package bears the
picture OF the Battle Creek Santarium.

WHERE "DR" DOWIE LOSES
RECEIVER FOR LACE INDUSTRIES
Successful Issue of the Suit of Ste.
vensOn, BrOther-in-Layy
of .'Elijah."

Chicago, Jan. 31.-Judge Tuley to-day
ordered receivership for the Zion Lace
Industries and on Monday he will enter q
decree appointing Elmer Washburn re-
ceiver under a bond Of 100000
The court, in his decision Of the case,
which was instituted by Samuel Steven
son, a brother in law Of John Alexander
Dowie, declared that Dowie's church, the
Christian Catholic church, was curious
mixture of religion and business. He, held
that Stevenson had by undue influence eH-
erted by Dowie as head of the cnurch,
been led to turn over to Dowie practically
everything he had in the world and held
that Stevenson was entitled to at least
S10G, 900 from Dowie, or the lace INDUS
tries, which he said We're practically the
same thing.
Undue influence" was the chief topic
discussed by the judge. Dowie, he said,
was unquestionably the superior OF Stew
enson both in intellect and business ablll-
ty. Dowie, he declared was religious
zealot; Stevenson follower. Stevenson,
like others in "Zfon," followed DoWie
blindly They believed in him as the
agent of the Almighty on earth, destined
to build up cities of Zion in every country
in the world. None was more lnhuencea
by the teachings Of THE Reincarnatlon
Of Elijah" than Stevenson. ~ as.
1t was the province Of the court to pro-
tect the weak against the strong. 1t was
not clear just to what extent stevenson
had suffered monetary loss, owing to the
peculiar agreements between stockhold-
ers in the lace Industries and DoW1e. IL
was clear, however, that Stevenson was
entitled to 100000, and also clear that
| the $4,000 which Stevenson had turned
over to his wife (now dead and the TWO
had turned over to Dowie, could not be
collected.
The case needs more light SAID the
court 81 have studied over it night and
day for month, yet on many points
am in the dark. There should be fur
Their hearing
An amended bill and an amended an
swer will be filed by the parties to the
suit Monday, when the decree appointing
receiver will be entered. Till then, by
stipulation, Dowie' is prevented from as
nosing of any more preferred stock.
Dowie will pray an appeal and Judge
Tuley intimated that it would be granted
owing to the peculiar points of law IN.
/ yolyed. and the presence in the case OF
| factors on which no law seemed to bear.
