Foreign Missions.

Last week we published very interesting
TO wtioh Mr.. Roche makes forceful reply
this week.
We are not going TO get mixed up In q
question as to the merits or dement's OF the
Catholic religion. However, the idea Of con.
verting Catholic to the Protestant faith or
inducing Jew to embrace the Christian
rel igion, reminds rs Of question that was
discussed at debating society, namely: "1s
IL right 70 cheat lawyer?" After hearing
able argument on both sides, the presiding
officer decided that 1T Is right; but you
can't DO IT," It is In like manner perfectly
right TO convert the Catholic and the Jew 10
our way OF thinking, "But you can't do It,"
We have seen the statement that since the
days OF Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. no Polish
Jew has ever gone back on his religious
faith. These people to this day observe the
old oeremonials and are as loyal 10 their faith
as they were thousands OF years ago. A
Catholic La about as liable to be struck by
lightning as he is to embrace the Protestant
form OF religious belief. And. unlike being
struck by lightning, one experience at change
Of religion is not very effective As far as
onr Information goes We are led to think It q
hard job 70 interfere with the religion OF q
Jew or q Catholic.
Bot, if"Foreign Missions" In Mexico means
the conversion OF those who are living In
ignorance OF our Saviour, then the work may
result In great good. We favor Missions in
Mexico, rather tn an in other lands. Mexico
10 our neighbor, and, she like the lamb that
muddied the stream and insulted the wolf
Mexico may muddy the stream for Uncle
Sam. Hundreds Of millions OF American
dollars are now exploiting Mexico. And
Americans are likely to be found In COM
pany with their money. In the course Of
time the American Eagle will swoop down
on Mexico. 1t will then be repaid for e1
penses Of Foreign Missions in that land.

HOW 70 ATTAIN OLD AGE.
Advice From an Authority on the
Subject of Longevity.

Advice From an Authority on the
Subject of Longevity.
OF the giving Of recipes for longevi-
ty there is apparently no end. Every
man or woman who has reached out
far beyond the allotted threescore
years and ten is made the subject OF
an entertaining argument to prove the
points Of this or that contender.
Every abnormality In the shape OF
strength Of arm, Of back, Of general
system, Is used as an illustration OF
the virtues Of this or that system OF
exercise or living. It. is the opinion OF,
q good many laymen that mankind
does entirely too much thinking on the
subject Of how to live to ripe old age.
Less worry on this point might lead
to the desired result.
But there never will be less worry.
Even now the list Of systems for pro-
longaion of mans days Is being aug.
mented. The very latest suggestion
comes from q physician Of credit and
renown. he thinks that there Is a;
very great deal of benefit or Of injury
in the wearing Of certain kinds OF
clothing. ~ q
According to this authority, the.
wearing Of flannel next the skin ID;
immensely injurious to the general run
of men and women. Cotton is king, In
his opinion. For summer wear he
suggests a calico shirt while balbrigs
gan cotton is his idea Of winter COW
ering. The main point Of his theory
is the necessity Of wearing always the
same kind of material next the skin,
whether this be Of linen, cotton or
wool.
Outdoor exercise is highly recon-
mended-that is, If cycling be except
ed. Wheeling Is not considered q sane
performance by this judge.

brought In the state court which practically

lates the clause In the state constitution pro-
hibiting the leasing Of road by q competitor.
Mr.. Cart asks to recover 500 per day from the
date Of the Southern's lease, a sum amount
ing to nearly Sl50, ,O00 II received the money

MILLIONS IN HOLDUP.
New York Unions Said to Have
Extorted Enormous Sums.

New York, July 25.-Facts brought
out at the trial of Lawrence Murphy
loosened the tongues of many employ
ers and contractors, who told startling
stories of how employers had been
biackmailed and forced to pay large
sums of money to dishonest members
of labor unions during the last few
years.
A well known builder a member of
the Building Trades Employers as
sociation, said he could produce a list
of cases within the last year showing
that more than $2,OoO,0 900 had been OBJ
tanned from employers under a threat
to strike. He said more than $50, 900 was
obtained by extortion from the AnsOnia
hotel alone.
'On that contract" he said, matters
reached a state where two OF three
labor leaders would walk into the con-
tractors office and say to him, We are
short $500 this morning and must have
CASH The contractor would turn to
his cashier and tell him to give the men
all the money in the office"
1t is learned there are now in the
hands of District Attorney Jerome be-
tween fifty and sixty affidavits charg-
ing extortion against walking delegates.
These cases alone represent more than
$400 900 alleged to have been obtained
from builders and contractors since
1900 This evidence was given the dis
trict attorney by a special committee
of the Building Trades Employers as
sociation.
A remarkable system of finance by
which a ring of powerful members of
the journeymen stonecutters' union vo-
ted $4,000 to themselves in advance out
of the treasury for the expense they
might incur in the service of the union.
and deposited this money in their indi-
vidual names, was exposed quite unwlt-
tingly by John Boyle, a witness against
Lawrence Murphy, former treasurer of
the union, who is on trial before Judge
Newburger on a charge of embezzling
$13, 900 of the unions funds.
Boyle was one of the secret commit
tee of four which secured from Brook
lyn employers of stonecutters a check
for $4,000 for fines imposed because
they employed the same men prior TO
the admission of the men to the union.
He was flustered when confronted by
John F. Mcintyre, Murphy's lawyer.
with the fact that $500 of the money
of which the union now accuses Murphy
of embezzling stood in the names of six
individual members of the union. Boyle
being one of them.
Boyle came out with a remarka BILE
statement, saying the six men who held
the money were all members of the 'se-
cret committee" of the union. They vo-
ted this money to themselves IN sums
avera ging about 1880 each. and their
PuipOSS was u pay LneI III duNduSS
for any services they might do for the
union. Mcintyre declared that the 49,
| 500, like the $4,000 given the secret COM
mittee by Col Andrew D. Baird in be-
half of Brooklyn builders, was black
mail money. Mcintyre said later in the
afternoon that Murphy had said he
would be able to show on the witness
stand that in the eight years he has
been an officer of the Journeyman Stone
cutters union the union had collected in
fines, assessments, etc, between $500, 900
and $3.50, 900.
