POWER TO FORGIVE SINs.-Rey. G.
B. B. Wright, canon of All Saints Cattle
dral in Milwaukee in a sermon on Sun
day last made some statements which
have stirred up no little talk in religious
circles. He said that the priests of the
Episcopal Church, IN their power to
forgive sins. were equal to Christ.
Should the Son of God return to earth
and stand beside the priest at the altar
the priests power Of forgiveness would
be equal to that of the Saviour. Mr..
Wright followed up this statement by
another, to the effect that the word
of the priest was the word of God.
His Interpretation of the Scrip
lures was that of the Almighty, as God
spoke through him. Clergymen out
side the Episcopal or Catholic Church
gave only their Interpretation of the
Bible, which accounted for so many
differences among the sects. AS they
had been given no heavenly power by
conservation by the bishop, their teach
jugs were simply their own, as God
would not speak through them. When
asked for a copy of his sermon Mr..
Wright said that he spoke from notes.
and these he had destroyed. Mr..
Wright is young priest, who formerly
was secretary of Bishop Nicholson. For
several years he has been canon of the
Cathedral and engaged in parish work.

THE Ice TRUST. Ice Com
pany stock reached its lowest ebb Tues
day, when the annual report was made
public, showing deficit of 1852, 493 on
December 81, 1902, against surplus of
1856, 40 the year before, decrease of
1921, 1858. The figures were made public
at a stormy meeting Of the trust, held in
Jersey City.
Direct charges we're made against the
officers of the company, and only the
great number of proxies held by the
President, j. d. Schoonmaker, enabled
him to defeat a resolution calling for an
examination of the books and papers.
One angry stakeholder was howled down
after he had twice proposed that the
corporation should be dissolved and
receiver appointed.
Many embarrassing questions were
put to Mr. Schoonmaker, who declined
to answer them in the meeting, pro-
testing his inability to do so, although
they had been submitted to him in
writing last Saturday. He declared that
all necessary information would be
furnished to stockholders who called at
the company's Office.

Everybody knows the great value Of this
remedy il the household, but everybody
does not know that the limitations of it,
which so-~ second class druggists dishon-
orably PAL off on their customers, have
little or no value. What should be under
stood by the public is, that it is not a mere
question OF c.,-ipA. i've value between
'sVaseline" and the limitations, but that tho
imita tions do not effect the wonderful heal
ing results OF the world renowned Vase
liner and that they are not the same thing
nor made in the same way. Besides this,
many of the limitations are harmful, irri-
tant and not safe to use, while true Vase
line is perfectly harmless.
Perfect safety therefore lies in buying.

AN OLD TIMER.
Has Had Experiences.

A woman who has used Postum
Food Coffee since it came upon the
market eight years ago knows from
experience the necessity of using Pos
tum in place of coffee if one values
health and steady brain.
She says: "At the time Postum was
first put on the market l was suffer
ing from nervous dyspepsia and my
physician had repeatedly told me not
to use tea or coffee. Finally l de-
cided to take his advice and try Pos
tum and got sample and had it care
fully prepared, finding it delicious to
the taste. So | continued its use and
very soon it's beneficial effects con-
vinced me of its value, for | got weD
of my nervousness and dyspepsia.
MY husband had been drinking cof-
fee all his life until it had affected
his nerves terribly. l persuaded him
to shift to Postum and it was easy to
get him to make the change for the
Postum is so delicious. It certainly
worked wonders for him.
I'VE soon learned that Postum does
not exhilarate or depress and does
not stimulate, but steadily and hon
estly strengthens the nerves and the
stomach. To make long story short
our entire family have now used Pos
tum for eight years with completely
satisfying results as shown in our
fine condition of health, and we have
noticed rather unexpected improve
ment in brain and nerve power"
Name given by Postum Co., Battle
Creek, Mich.
Increased brain and nerve power al
ways follow the use of Postum in
place of coffee. sometimes in a very
marked manner.

Not the oId-Time Terry.


Both of those noted rivals, Young
Corbett and Terry McGovern, have
been seen in action recently, and their
respective showings did not make any
of the critics opine that Terry stood
much chance of ever defeating his
conqueror. Terry fought Jimmy
Briggs, who was recently bested by
the Denverite. McGovern gained a de-
cision over Briggs, but had an awful
time doing SO, and was twice sent to
the floor by the Chelsea lad. Terry
was we'll trained and in fine condi-
ton, but his knockout punch was
gone. When Corbett fought Briggs
the Denver youth was fat and half
trained, but he took things much
easier than McGovern, and gained the
decision without any such strenuous
stunts as Terry had to undergo. If
McGovern has lost the knockout
punch that was always his chief stock
in trade he might as well give up the
sport, or content himself with second
class honors. Terry won fights be-
cause he could outhit any other man,
and Terry without the hitting power is
worse than Hamlet shy the melan-
choly Dane.

Day of the Muscular Man.

1t would perhaps be extravagant to-
say that there never was a time since
the days of King Artnur's round table
when physical strength and health
were so highly regarded as now. But
nevertheless it is a fact not success
fully to be denied that physical Gull
ture during recent years has been
given more than ordinary attention
and many men who are healthful and
strong have been remarkably success
full in the various vocations of active
life. The days OF the fop, the dude, the
lackadaisical dandy are past The
popular society man nowadays must
be huntsman, golfer, a horseman
or famed for some particular athletic
quality.-Kansas City Journal.

Edith Wharton writes: "The me-

consciously, knows exactly how much
he reads, and will tell you so with the
pride of the careful housekeeper who
has calculated to within half an ounce
the daily consumption of food in her
household. As the housekeeper is apt
to go to market every day at certain
hour, so the mechanical reader has
OFTEN fixed time for laying in his
intellectual stores; and not infrequent-
ly he reads for just so many hours a
day. The statement in one of Hamer-
toms youthful diaries, I shall now COM
mence a course of poetical reading, be-
ginning with fifty hours of Chaucer,
and gave him one and one-half hours
last night it leaves me exactly forty
eight and one-hal1, is a good example
of this kind of reading"

Lou Dillon Trots in 1887.

Lou Dillon established her right to
the title Champion trotter of the
world" at Memphis, Tenn, in a way
that left no doubt III the minds of
horsemen that she is the most mar
velcus piece of horsefesh the world
has produced. She trotted a mile in
1881, that, all things considered, out
ranks the performance of Dan Patch.
The weather was cold and penetrat-
ing and a stiff breeze blew down the
backstretch. Her pacemaker. or wind
break z you please, wGs neither one
nor the other.
All afternoon Driver Willard Saun-
ders waited in the hope of better con-
ditions and then half hour after the
racing program was completed he
brought out his charge with the an
nouncement that the great mare
would try, but that the spectators
should not be disappointed if she
failed, considering the circumstances.
Saunders nodded for the word the
first score with DOC" Tanner, who
was driving the pacemaker four
lengths in the lead and she was off at
what seemed like a 2:9O gait to those
not aware of the flawless, frictionless
gait OF the trotting queen. 1t was
really a 200 clip she had struck and
Tanner, holding back the runner so as
to prove more effective windbreak,
miscalculated to such an extent that
Saunders made move to pull out and
go past her. The runner drew ahead,
however, and past the quarter she
flew in thirty seconds.
The next quarter was half a second
faster and now the question came
would she falter. facing the wind But
