DISCUSSES SOCIAL PURITY.
The Rev. Lewis Brown Condemns
Some Modern Customs.

The Rev. Lewis Brown discussed Social
Purity last night, and, although preach
ing conseratively, condemned unstintedly
many modern customs that are condoned
if not absolutely embraced. DR.. Brown was
severe upon marriages for money or posi-
ton. upon unclean newspapers, upon cos
tunes extremely decollette, upon obscene
advertisements and upon novels that gild
vice. He said:
mo subject discussed by the Christian
pulpit is of more grave import than that OF
social purity. The confessional is said to
reveal more infractiOns OF the seventh COM
mandment than OF any other. Man at his
base is an animal. Upon that We build his

Boston papers announce the death Of
Father Scully, a Catholic priest of Cam
bridge, famous for good works. A Prot
estant clergyman said OF him after his
death: 'He was second to no man in CAM
bridge as a power for good. and there were
respects in which he was our chief citizen >,
This remark shows how the walls between
Protestant and Catholic clergymen are be-
ing leveled in cities where all unite to
promote the public welfare. Father Scully
was a chaplain in the Irish brigade,
which contained an Irish regiment from
Boston. He took part In all the battles and
was once wounded. He was, however the
old-fashioned priest with 'the boys"
Among other things. he tried to suppress
gambling. One night he rushed into an Of
ficer's tent. where several were playing
poker His appearance caused a panic, but
the chaplain took the money on the table
and left. On pay day the officers used
to make up purse of 800 and take Ii TO
Father Scully. The pay day following the
raid on the gamblers, one of them went
to the chaplains tent with the money. He
counted Ii over. and 1t being short. he re-
marked: Where is the rest OF it?" 1T was

The last overcapitalized trust to fall into
the hands of a receiver was the American
Alkali Company. The company issued $780,
1900 of stock, of which all but $4,000 o00
was common, which is said to have been
paid in full. The assets consist of the ma
chinery in a factory in Canada and some
patents of some money value. If any con-
siderable portion of the common stock was
really paid in the purchasers have lost
their money. Alkali is an article in con-
slant demand but what should have been a
small enterprise with a small capital was
so overcapitalized that the investment be-
came worthless. A law compelling pub
licity would have shown investors that this
stock had no value. So the alkali trust fol-
lows the bicycle and the asphalt trusts.
Another trust which is on the road to a
receiver is the ice trust. 1t was capitalized
for s36.379,500, the actual value of which
was s7,379.943 on the prices for which the
stock was quoted last week.

the deficiency will be kept down to $780,
coo in spite of the costly extension of the
rural free delivery service. This crafty
ing result has been brought about by the
order of ex-Postmaster General Smith re-
stricting the use of the second-class rate
intended for newspapers and periodicals
to legitimate publications. This ruling
caused great indignation among the in
f1uential persons who are violating the
law, and I'm a few cases temporary in
functions are protecting violators OF the
law. Eventually, they hope to have the
order set aside or to induce Congress to
interfere. The saving by the order rela-
tive to the abuse of the second-class rate
is sufficient to pay for the free rural de-
livery and to cut the deficit down to
figure that is of no consequence.

MIR. ROOsEvELT's FIRST YEAR.

Theodore Roosevelt has been President of
the United States one year. AT the outset
he promised the country to continue the
policy which his lamented predecessor had
marked out. That he has done so there
can be no doubt. He retained the Mckinley
Cabinet, and If some of the members have
retired 1T is not because of differences with
the President. He has continued the pol
icy OF his predecessor in the Philippines.
He has not changed an official. but has
placed the utmost confidence in the COM
mission selected by President Mckinley.
The policy which Mr.. Roosevelt would
have carried out with reference to Cuba
is precisely the same which Mr.. Mckinley
would have urged had he lived. He has
made few changes in public Offices and
those were necessary.
Not a party leader In the sense that his
predecessor was one of the greatest his par
ty ever had. President Roosevelt has disap-
pointed the opposition by being able to have
a large majority of his party in Congress
with him, and more securely with him when
Congress adjourned than during the earlier
months of the session. Instead of being
headstrong. as some predicted. he has TAX
en- counsel with party leaders in Congress.
In regard to appointments. it is rather to
his credit that he has been denounced more
freely by a class Of independents than by
real party men. AT any rate, nearly every
nomination he has made has received the
official sanction of the Senate. That every
Republican State convention thus far has
approved and even commended his admin
istration in the most emphatic language
proves that he has won with his party over
the country That he is greeted with un-
bounded enthusiasm wherever he appears
among the people shows that he has won
the confidence and regard of the. country
He has displayed courage which counts
with the American people. and even his OPP
ponents admit the integrity OF his purpose
1t is safe to say that he has successfully
passed through the most critical year OF
his term He has come TO a full under
standing with the leaders OF his party in
Congress where II was predicted that he
on every question, as the expressed senti.
ment regarding Cuban reciprocity since the
adjournment OF Congress shows. Such be-
ing the case,> one need not set up as q
prophet I'm order TO express the opinion
that the success he has already achieved
will continue. He viii. probably. make
some little mistakes and do things which
