Rev. Dr. c. NJ. Glffin, pastor of the
Elm Park Methodist Episcopal church,
began last night the first of series
of sermons on what he calls the -Four
Ons." His topic last night was ION
Time" and the laggards and weak
willed people generally came in for
sharp denunciation. The sermon to be
delivered next Sunday night will be on
the theme "On Your Feet"
The doctor chose for his text last
night III Samuel 20:5: $50 Amasa went
to assemble the men of Judah; but he
tarried longer than the set time which
he had appointed him" He spoke in
part as follows:
"Amasa is splendid sample of the
loiterer who never takes a note Of
time and who manages to put every
well ordered plan out of order. If the
procession Is to move at 2 o'clock he
and others of his kind fuss around and
fool about until they manage to delay
1t for at least an hour. They never
heed or hear the clock ticks. The race
of Amasa has not run out. There are
a few left in the world. They are to
be'found on every side. Brother Slow
is in the church and out of the church
and wherever he is he is both making
and suffering a loss.
what is the reason for this. tardi-
ness? Its the result of drag in the
rhythm of the afflicted persons being.
1t is a congenital defect and no cure
but constitutional one will make the
laggard hasten. He must be regener-
ated. He must be born again.

1t is a cOngenital defect and no cure
but constitutional one will make the
laggard hasten. He must be regener-
ated. He must be born again.
EFFECTS OF HABIT.
"It is the result often of the slowing
effects of habits. 1t is a motive that
impels men to do things and it is my
wish to try and instill the definite pur-
pose of being always on time into some
of ours young men and some of our
young women. 1t means more than I
can tell you to be on time and to be
always reckoned among those present.
Young men frequently get into the
way of dilly dallying until slowness
and inaction becomes part of the very
grain Of their being.
"The laggard is self-centered and
self-conscious and becomes before long
sublime egotist. He forgets entirely
the injustice he does his friends by
reason Of his laxity and becomes oblivi-
GUS of all else but his own interests.
"Tardness is often, too, the result Of
weakness. Do you know there are
some people in this world who remind
me of nothing so much as the dessert
jelly we sometimes have on our table.
1t looks all right when it's turned out
of the mould but soon crack appears
in it. and it hattens out into Il shape
less mass.
There are people in this world who
are just about as nabby as that
jelly and if it We're possible to analyze
their real substance I'm sure you'd
find that the basic elements would be
pretty soft stuff. These people seem
to be happy despite their weakness.
They seem to have been born with
chuckle and they keep it up through
life. Once in a while they wake up
but the soon drop back into dullness
again and when they go to their final
sleep they go to one but little deeper
than the one they've been enjoying all
through life.
FOLLY OF HARDNESS.
"Did you ever consider the folly OF
hardness? It's contrary to the method
of God. Go into laboratory and
watch the embryos which are living
there. You'll find that everything ar
rives at the proper time If you watch
their growth. If the larvae is to swim
early, the small oar like tentacles ap-
pear early.
"Then there is the folly of neglect
ing opportunity; Of seeing it but not
accepting 1t. Oh, that every young
man could learn that the only thing
for him to do is to see what he has to
do or what God has placed in his way
to do and then rush to do it. Young
men so often spend their opportunity
in little dribs and drabs. An hour here,
a half day there and day over yon-
der Little things in themselves but
mighty when .massed together.
II would have everyone present here
tonight to be on time in starting, on
time in stepping and on time in stop
ping. 1t is essential that you should
be on time in starting-that you should
be up and ready to start with the ris-
ing of the sun. The Chinaman
who said that the Mclean man too
muchee bime-by' had the condition OF
far too many people in this country
sized up to nicely. There are so
many who procrastinate and who in
stead of being on time put off until to-
morrow and then until tomorrow that
which should have been done at once"

came generally known, and led to much
speculation as to the cause. An official
of the Hartman lines stated that there
was nothing to be said regarding the
matter except that the Denver gate
way was now wide open and it remain
ed for the Rock Island officials to say
how extensively 1t would be used for
Pacific coast business. The new agree
.nent regarding traffic was entered into
early in August, but has been kept a
fairly close secret until today.
Advantage to Rock Island.
The greatest advantage to the Rock
Island will come in traffic destined
for North Pacific coast points, which
hitherto has been turned over to the
Union Pacific at the river, the latter
company refusing to accept it at Den
YER Under the new arrangements
the Rock Island will enjoy the long
haul on all of this business, thereby
securing an added advantage Of over
1000 miles.
An official of the Hartman lines
stated the management had decided
that conditions had changed since the
closing of the Denver gateway and
that there was no good reason why the
roads east of the river should not have
the long haul in traffic originating in
their territory. For one thing, he ex-
planned, the cost Of handling traffic
west of Denver by the Union Pacific
had greatly decreased, and this and
other new conditions made it good pol
icy to throw the Denver gateway open.

BARS SALE OF LIQUOR
IN SAMOAN ISLANDS
Government Decides Against Dispos-
ing of lntoxicants for Cash-Row
With Blackjack.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 9.-The
government has decided against the
sale of intoxicating liquors of any de-
scription in our Samoan possessions.
Shortly after the triparte agreement
between England, Germany and the
United States for the government of
the Samoan islands was dissolved and
the assumption of control of the Amer
lean portion of the islands by the navy,
under which the government was plac-
ed, a license for the sale of liquor at
Tutuila, was granted. Subsequently,
upon the recommendation of the naval
governor, the license was revoked, not,
however, before the United States vice
consul at Apia, Mr.. Blackjack, had
erected a hotel at Tutuila in which the
sale of liquor was carried on.
Shortly after the license was revoked
he lodged a protest, claiming that the
prohibition of the sale of liquor would
work financial injury to him and rep
resenting that it's sale would in no wise
corrupt the morals of the natives who,
he represented, were not addicted to
the use of intoxicants. 1t was also rep
resented to the department that the
sale of intoxicating liquors was per-
mitted in the English and German por-
tons of the islands.
After duly considering the matter the
navy department has decided against
Vice Consul Blackjack, and the action
of the naval governor in revoking the
license has been sustained.

NAZINA DISTRICT
FABULOUSLY RICH
Four Men sIuice Out $500 in Three
Days-Robert BIei Made
Millionaire.

Special to The Globe.
TACOMA, Wash, Sept. 9.-Authentic
reports received today from the new
Nazina gold diggings in the Copper
river valley, two hundred miles inland
from Valdez, prove Nazina to be the
richest strike made in Alaska since
Nome was discovered. The best pay
seemed to be on Rex gulch, where in
three days four men sluiced out $1,000
in one sluice box. The pay streak ex-
tends along the whole distance of sew
eral hundred feet. Not over $4,000 will
be taken out this year, as the princi-
pal owners prefer to prospect prepar-
atory to opening UP their properties on
large and economical scale next year.
About four hundred claims have been
staked in the district, of which two
hundred and twelve are owned or con-
trolled by Robert Blei, of New York,
who represents a large syndicate.
Blei's men struck Nazina river just
after gold was discovered and located
claims in every direction. Blei is made
a millionaire many times over.
Copper nuggets vary in size from a
pinhead to hundred pounds in weight
and assay at SO per cent The whole
bedrock is covered with this copper
along with the gold. AS now prospect
ed the Nazina district covers two hum
dred square miles. Gold is found even
ly distributed along the creeks, and the
benches are as rich as the creeks. The
average depth to bedrock Is four to
six feet, with an abundance of water
and timber for mining purposes.

My Dear Mr.. McCleary: The commits

I am solicitous that no delay follow

undivided immediate attention. Retir-
ing from the post which / have held

factorily. The growth Of the business
of the Mankato postoffice has been
gratifying. The improvements in the
service during the past four years have
certainly kept pace with the growth of
the city, and the present high efficiency
of the clerical and carrier force is to
me, at least, q source of much pride
and satisfaction. I can therefore say
to you that in retiring do SO with only
feelings of genuine satisfaction and
with assurance to my successor that
he will find on entering upon his du-

appreciation for your repeated acts of
kindness and confidence during the
term of my official connection with the
office and trust that the many years
of friendship that have existed between

ly yours, Il +. Hunt.

HENRY w. GRADY
DROPS OUT OF SIGHT
Son OF the Late Editor of the Atlanta
Constitution Has Been Missing
for Several Days.

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 9.-Henry w.
Grady has disappeared and his friends
and relatives are much concerned. Mr..
Grady is the only son Of the late Hen
ry w. Grady, editor of the Atlanta
Constitution, who at the time of his
death, was probably the most popular
man in the South. Young Grady was
last seen at Norfolk, Va, on Friday
of last week, when he left the hotel
where he was stopping with his wife
and child in order to secure transporta-
ton for the return trip to Atlanta, his
home. Since that time no trace Of
him has been found. Mrs. Grady, pros
trated with grief, has returned to At
lanta.
Eugene r. Black, a prominent attor-
ney of this city and brother-in-law Of
Mr.. Grady, is now in New York In
quest of him, having abandoned all
hope Of finding him in Norfolk.
Mr.. Grady had only small amount
of money when last seen. The theory
of suicide is not entertained by his
family or friends. His domestic life
was happy and he was in comfortable
financial circumstances. The police in
every city, domestic and foreign, will
be notified of Mr.. Grady's disappear
ance.
The missing man has for some years
been connected in various capacities
with the Atlanta Constitution. His
wife was Miss Grace Gould, Of ST.
