The coIored Pastor.

The famous st. JezaBelle narrative is
one of the choice stories of a present
bishop of Baltimore. 1t was just after
the civil war and one of the church bod
les was endeavoring to establish color
ed churches with colored pastors in the
south. There was lack of men quail
fled to be ordained: In this emergency
the churchmen decided to ordain sew
eral colored men who were recognized
eXhorters among the colored parishes
and known to be men of piety. Some
slight preliminary examination was
deemed advisable, however, and they
were questioning candidate to learn
what qualifications he possessed. OF
Moses he knew that he had led the
children of Israel through the wilder
ness. David had been a king who play
ed a harp. Paul wrote epistles, but
vagueness of details accompanied each.
In despair the examiners asked the
candidate to tell them something of
his own accord that he did know fully
and in detail. He said he knew the
story of st. Jeza Belle, and told it
somewhat as follows: ST. Jeza Belle
she sat in an upper window of the
palace of Samaria looking out, and
King Ahab he came riding along and
he mighty mad and he say, Throw her
down." and they threw her down. And
he say, Throw her down seventy times
seven!" and it was done. And the
dogs came and licked her sores, and of
the remains they gathered UP twelve
baskets full and whose wife shall she
be in the resurrection?

the statues of other famous comman-
ders who belonged to all the world and
to all time would also be erected here.
1t having been mentioned to the en-
peror by member of the court that
Ambassador Tower would go to Wash
ington at the time of the presentation
of the statue to assist in receiving the
German commission, his majesty SAID
that the ambassadors presence upon
that occasion would be compliment
to Germany. and that he hoped MI.
Tower would be there.
Emperor William inquired as to
President Roosevelt's health and sent
his congratulations to the president
and the people of the United States.
After his majesty, attended by
Chancellor Won Buelow, had spoken TO
each ambassador in turn, the emperor
and the schancellor withdrew. Then
the empress, accompanied by the court
and several ladies-in-
waiting, entered the great marine sa-
Ion of the castle. where the reception
took place. Her majesty also received
the good wishes of the foreign ambas-
sailors and conversed q few minutes
with each envoy.
Herr Pphues, the sculptor, has nearly
finished his statue of Frederick the
Great. The date when it will be agree
able to receive the statue is not known
here. but 1t is assumed that this will
be some time in the late spring.

We remind all concerned, old and
young, that polygamy is one thing and
an abstract belief in polygamy is a
totally different thing. The constitu-
ton of the United States proscribes
nobody because of his abstract relig-
ious beliefs. and the senate has no
shadow of a right to. Beliefs of that
sort are none OF. the senates business.
We have yet to see it alleged in any
quarter that MIR. Smoot is a practi-
cal polygamist and a lawbreaker. He
says he has only one wife, and that
seems to be the admitted fact. AS far
as we know the only charge brought
against him is that he is high officer
AN "apostle"-in a religious denomi-
nation of which the remonstrant busy
bodies vehemently disapprove.
II this is the state of the case, If
he is elected. If he arrives in Washing
ton with valid credentials, the senate
will not have a jot more reason or right
under the constitution to halt Mr..
Smoot Of Utah on his way to his seat,
than it would have similarly to halt
ing a Unitarian, or Mr.. Platt of New
York for being a Presbyterian, or Mr..
Fairbanks of Indiana for being a Meth
odist. The protesting OF the Norman
religion is not an offense against any
law of the United States. Any Ameri-
can citizen is free to adopt and pro-
claim the notions of Joseph Smith, If
he chooses to do SO, as the theological
opinions of the Rev. John Wesley.

Judas Iscariot LibeIIed.

To the editor of the Sun-Sir: Let
me enter public protest against a
fragrant case recently come to light of
kicking the under dog" It has always
appeared mean to thump man when
down and, although such cowardly
practices are not entirely unknown,
they should be discountenanced by all
lovers of fair play. The case in point
to which reference is made Is the
unwarranted and libellous assault upon
the character of the late Judas Iscar-
lot, made by an unfeeling Teuton nam
ed Paul Heyse, in a melodrama now
being presented at a New York play
house. This man actually makes the
public charge that the said Judas Is
CARROT was responsible for the downfall
of the late Mary of Magdala. 1t is di-
rectly charged that the ruin of this
woman was brought about and ac-
complished by this man Iscariot. We
all know something of the history of
Judas Iscariot, and Heaven knows he
had enough sins of his own to answer
for without having the offense Of lib
ertinism placed at his door.

1t is not surprising the book has Gre
ated so favorable an impre ssion in
France. Mr.. Roosevelt himself, what
he is and what he has done, glows from
every page of his work. The French
people not only perceive in the book
the character of the man who wrote
1t, but they also realize that it is such
character that lends luster to our re-
public. Moreover, they realize that
such character is absolutely essential
to the permanent success of any repub-
lie. 1t is Mr.. Roosevelts character, his
energy and honesty, his courage and
ability that command the admiration
of his fellow oountrymen, and render
him so conspicuous figure on the po-
litical horizon.

Frank Leslies tells the following anec-
dote on Opie Read, the southern writ
err who now hives in Chicago, and flav-
ing met the novelist in Denver, we
have no reason to doubt the story: Mr..
Read, up to the last presidential cam
paign, had always affiliated with DEM
ocracy, but during the campaign of 1900
he made speeches over the west in be-
half of the sound money ticket. When
his bill of expenses was sent to Chair
man Hanna the latter noticed that Mr..
Reads expenses in Denver were much
larger than at any other place, and
calling the authors attention to it ask
ed for an explanation. 'I reckon as
much," replied Mr.. Read. Did YOU
ever play poker in that pesky town.,
Mr.. Hanna smiled as he wrote 20. K"
on the account.

UNJUST RATES CHARGED.
Complaint of Missouri Shipper Laid
Before Commission.

Before Commission.
Washington, Jan. 3-The Chicago,
Burlington & Quincy railroad is made
the defendant in complaint filed with
the interstate commerce commission by
Gilbert Barr of Kearney, Mo-, who al
leges the exaction of an unreasonable
and unjust tariff on live stock. The
complainant says that since Oct. last
the railroad has compelled him to pay
for transportation of live stock in car
load lots from Kearney to Chicago 231s
cents per 100 pounds, altho reasona-
BILE charge is IL cents per 100 pounds.
The complaint charges that during the
time mentioned the defendant has had
in force on its lines rate OF 23Ha cents
per 100 pounds applying upon live stock
originating at Kansas City and shipped
in car load lots to Chicago, and another
rate of IL cents per 100 pounds, called a
proportional rate, applying between
Kansas City and Chicago on live stock
originating at points west of Kansas
City and shipped in car load lots to
Kansas City in the first instance, and
upon which thru rate from originating
point to Chicago would not be less than
23k cents per 100 pounds. The COM
plainant alleges that altho the 10 cent
rate is published as proportional
rate the defendant still allows shippers
of live stock to use 1t without refer
ence to the origin of their shipments
and regardless of whether rates have
been paid thereon from points of origin
to Kansas City, emitting such shippers
to the proportional rate from Kansas
City to Chicago. Minor details as to
shipments. supposed rebates ETC., are
given at great length.

Court Refuses to Rescind Woman's
Right to Property Secured by Coax


Right to Property Secured by Coax.
ing.
st. Paul, Jan. 3.-In an order made
by Judge Kelly in the suit brought by
William H. Flanagan against his wife
and his mother-in-l law, Martha West
the court holds that 1T is not unlawful
for wife to play her husband with
Establishments and endearing terms. no
matter what her object.
Flanagan claims that his wife and
his mother-in-law secured possession
of two lots in Brainerd, Mimi, thru
fraudulent representations and blan-
dishments. For this reason he asks that
the property be restored Judge Kelly
in denying the application, says:
ut is surely not wrong ordinarily for
wife to talk to her husband in a
soothing, caressing, or even fattering
way. Nor should mother-in-law be
censured who occasionally breaks away
from those traditions which, often
times, wrongfully, we think, attach to
her position"
The court holds that the charge of
conspiracy is not proven. and under the
circumstances Flanagan can not have
any standing in court.

the death of the old year even the name
goes out of existence and the road
