DIR. Hurlbut's Story.

Rev. J. L. Hurlbut, ID. D., of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, of Norris
town, remarks the Newark Call, has
fund of good stories and is always tell
ing them in casual conversation as well
as on the platform. Recently he was
speaking to friend about the difficulty
experienced in getting good house SER
want and the friend remarked that he
had nearly lost his religion in trying to
find one.
(Which reminds me-" said DIR. Hurl-
but. Some years ago I attended a
camp meeting that was presided over by
very erratic but forceful preacher. He
was denouncer. He denounced every
thing and made of religion a most
terrible thing. In the midst of his SER
mon he said with great earnestness:
why, friends, there are men who have
so little Christianity that they can not
set link of stove pipe without losing
their religion" A man in front of me
turned around and with a very severe
countenance said: II don't think it is
any time to judge man s religion when
he is setting up stove, do you, Doctor"
"Well. I've sometimes thought the
same thing about the servant question.
1t is no time 10 judge how much grace
person has when he or she is struggling
with the girl problem"

During the su MINER months, when
the town is filed with visitors and
owners of country estates, the
amount of money wagered daily
with the layers by coachmen and
other employees, is surprisingly
large. 1t is said that about $500
changes hands every day. At other
times during the year about $500
is bet. Without question one half of
this sum is waged by youths who
place their money with men who are
employed by the layers as commits
sioners. For this W ork they are paid
ten per cent. of it's amount collected.
These fellows carry small bank books

COnger's Report on the Recent Sc
riOus AntifOreign Riots In Which
Number of Native Chris
tians Were Slain.

Washington, Sept. 1S.-China is on
the verge of another Boxer uprising
which may equal that of 1900, accord
Ing to advices received at the state de-
partment from Minister Conger. The
troubles appear to arise principally
from eXtortionate taxation combined
with resentment against the presence
of missionaries, thus justifyihg the
Judgment of the department of state,
which pointed out to the powers that
the demand for excessive indemnities
would result in serious internal trou
bles in China.
In Mr.. Conger's first advice he re-
ports serious antiforeign riots near
Chentu, in the province of Szechuen,
in which Il number of native Chris
tians had been massacred and chapels
destroyed. Mr.. Conger appears to have
acted with energy upon telegraphic
complaints from DIR. Canright, an
American medical missionary at Chen
tn, not only addressing the Chinese
foreign office by letter, but calling
tn re in person to impress upon the Of
feds the Importance of an immediate
and effective action and finally sue
ceeC,Ng in causing the removal of the
local Chinese officials who had failed

MY dear Mr.. Churchill:-Your kind
letter of the 18th is at hand, and | beg
to say that / am very grateful to you for
your kindly efforts in endeavoring to
secure Mr.. Fowler's presence for us at
the coming meeting of the Illinois Bank
ers' Association. and am glad to learn
that there is yet chance that he may
be able to speak to us on that occasion.
/ am quite sure that if he appreciated
the very general interest that is being
evidenced in his prospective attendance,
he would make a special effort to re-
spond.
1t would give the bankers of Illinois
such qualification to have the matters Of
Asset Currency and Branch Banking
discussed by him and the knowledge
thus gained would be of very general
benefit. beg you to say to Mr.. Fowler
that if you will wire US, even at the last
moment, that he can be with us, he will
be very welcome and will be given the
most prominent place upon our pro-
gramme. In fact, his attendance and
his talk will be the principal feature of
our meeting. The Committee having in
hand the formation of the programme
have all along felt that discussion of
these subjects by Mr.. Fowler would be
the feature of the programme and have
not as yet changed their plans or substi-
tuted any other name, nor will they.
We will simply have to worry along
through the sessions of our convention
with such other material as may be at
hand, but it will be like Hamlet with
Hamlet left out if Mr. Fowler does not
come. Please acquaint him with this.
Very truly yours,

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

just, what II Is, and now 1t originated.
The reprint from the Review of Lon
don, England, on our first page is an
article upon this subject, which will
we'll repay perusal by American readers.
The doctrine itself is but vaguely
understood by very many of US,
while it is safe to say that it's origin
is quite unknown, except among states
men of the first order or professional
students of international politics. 1t
will be note that the tone of the article
is distinctly fair and friendly to this
country and yet, lucid as is its exposi-
ton for English readers of the events
which led to Monroes message to Con-
gress, we think it can be put more briefly
and clearly to our own citizens, substan-
TALLY as follows
In 1928 the Spanish colonies on the
Western Hemisphere had rebelled
against the Mother Country and pro-
claimed their independence. The inter

tain order at home. In this juncture,
France, with the consent of other Euro
pean continental nations, came to her
assistance by armed occupation of her
home territory The effect of this, if
unchallenged, would have been to enable
Spain to conquer the newly established
Spanish American republics. 1t would
also have established claim on the

The cession of territory, most probably,
for Spain was bankrupt. To the former
the interests of the United States were
both sentimentally and politically oppos-
ed, while to the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of her
most formidable antagonist, England,
was equally adverse. In the enuncia-
ton OF his now famous doctrine, Presi-
dent Monroe and the British Prime Min
lister, Lord Canning, were, in fact act
ing in concert The latter even pro-
posed a joint extension Of the doctr inc
by the two countries, but was prevented
by the complexities of European politics
from acceding to Monroes request to
recognize the Spanish American repub-
lies. But for this, England would I'M
doubtedly have joined with the United
States in proclaiming to other nations its

roe. England has never opposed this
doctrine, and it is mistake to suppose
that it was or is aimed against her, for
Monroe distinctly declared that With
the existing colonies or dependencies of
any European power we have not inter
ferred and shall not interfere. From
the Monroe doctrine, England, therefore,
has nothing to fear, but if we look back
a few months to the time just before the
visit of Prince Henry, of Russia. when
the German fleet was anchored off La
Guayra, perhaps we can interpret Presi
dent Roosevelt's recent utterances on
the subject little more clearly. 1t was
lucky for both countries that Emperor
William just then had yacht to chris

suspect the motives of the generous

Democratic newspapers are trying to
make it appear that Mr.. Fowler s
offer of free library to Elizabeth,
whenever that city is prepared to

which has taken place Mr.. Fowler

spent in getting clear title to a

Fowler stands ready to proceed with
the erection of the building just so
