CARROLL ID. WRIGHT MORALIZES.
He Calls the New American Diplomacy
Result OF Religious Patriotism.

ATLANTIC CITY, n. j. Sept, 22,-Carroll
D. Wright, president of the Unitarian Con-
ference. talked to-day before that body on
Some Evidences of the Growth of Practical
Religion" He said in part:
II know there are many who do not hesi-
tate to assert that the public conscience Of
to-day is dull. lacks sensitiveness, and is
not alive to the great questions OF right
and wrong, as they affect the public. The
old doctrine of the fall of Adam has been
eliminated from penological science, and
we are dealing with the criminal as man
morally diseased. He is the subject of
proper care while under restraint. Wemust
not degrade him: We must not humiliate
him: we must treat him so that when he s
cured, or partly cured, he can resume his
place in society with some prospect of earn
ing his own living and conducting himeslf
as well behaved citizen.
.The temperance question occupies the
public mind in a manner it never did before
Great railway corporations are every
where understanding that their dnty as
guardians of the public safety demands
temperate employees. So the man who
is given to the use of intoxicating liquors
cannot now secure employment on our great
railroads This is the surest temperance
reform known at the present time, but il
is the outgrowth of an agitation which
springs from the highest and purest motives
-Tne labor unions are. in sense, new.
Their principles, which may be right enough,
do not always determine their actions; but
their actions will sooner or later conform
to their principles, which are based upon
he recognition of the rights Of all men
There is a new patriotism-that pat ism

patriots ism which means personal sacrifice
In social service. 1t is a higher type of

CUBS FOOD.
They Thrive on Grape-Nuts.

Healthy babies don't cry and the we'll
nourished baby that is fed on Grape
Nuts is never a crying baby. Many
babies who cannot take any other food
relish the perfect food Grape-Nuts and
get we'll.
"My little baby was given up by three
doctors who said that the condensed
milk on which | had fed il had ruined
the child's stomach One of the doctors
told me that the only thing to do would
be to try Grape-Nuts, so ! got some
and prepared it as follows: | soaked
Il, table4r oonfuls in one pint Of cold
water for half an hour then strained
off the LIQUID and mixed IL teaspoonfuls
of this strained Grape-Nuts juice with
six teaspoonfuls of rich milk, put in a
pinch of salt and little sugar, warmed
1t and gave it to baby every two hours.
an this simple, easy way saved
baby's life and have built her up to a
strong healthy child, rosy and laughing
The food must certainly be perfect to
have such wonderful effect as this
can truthfully say think it is the best
food in the world to raise delicate babies
on and is also delicious healthful food
for grown-ups as we have discovered in
our family" Name given by Postum

wan Leader--"FlOaters" for Cutting
Mr.. Murphy Is Now P0ndering by
Request the Virtues OF Louis HaTen.
Charles F. Murphy walked briskly through
the Wall Street district at 4 o'clock yester-
day afternoon. He wore a sack suit, and
his gait indicated that he thought he needed
the exercise Mr.. Murphy has taken on
flesh this summer.
At the Broad-Exchange Building Mr..
Murphy turned in and went to the Midday
Club, on the twentieth floor Col. George
B. Mcclellan had preceded him there by
about twenty minutes.
The Midday Club is now the meeting place
of some of the big guns in Tammany who
find themselves too much observed in other
places. At that hour OF day, after the mar
ket has closed, there are few visitors to the
club, and they can talk undisturbed.
Before he went down to Wall Street Mr.
Murphy told reporters that he didn't know
anything about the reported trouble with
BROOKLYN Democrats over McClellan's NOM
nation.
Then he spoke Of r. Fulton Cuttings

asking him to become a candidate do not

he had been invited by outsiders?'
A delegation from The Bronx, headed
by Arthur c. Butts. called on Mr.. Murphy
Yesterday to say that Louis F. Haffen would
be strong man to nominate for Mayor
Mr.. Murphy said he was very sure Of Mr.
HafYen's many valuable qualities and that
they would be duly considered.
Edward M. Shepard got home from Lake
George yesterday. Mr.. Shepard is draw
ing the platform for the Democratic City
Convention, but he will not attend the con-
vention.
aMy district did ma the honor to ask
me to be delegate, !" said Mr.. Shepard,
@but I asked to be excused do not ex-
pect to attend the convention. and have
not been asked to act as chairman"

Policeman Joe Beninger OF the Mao

niger found the door Of j. P. Bowman's
shirt waist factory at Spring and Wooster
streets open. He fastened that with
an emergency paddock and left the place,
as he supposed, all right.
Two hours later the firemen Of Engine
13, across the street, told Beninger that
thew heard a tapping on the Bowman
windows. Beninger listened and heard
1t, too Then he hurried to the station
TO report that things were getting weird
and uncanny in his part Of the precinct.
Capt. Brennan. roundsman, detec-
tive and five policemen went back with
Beninger to look and listen. They bor-
rowed a ladder from the firemen and got
into the shirt waist place by way. OF a
second-story window. They found one
window open and another broken. but
no burglars and no ghosts.

WANT HIGH-CLASS MEN
For Aldermen From neutrality-suspicious.
Managers May Object.

The Brooklyn branch of the Citizens
Union has started a movement to bring
about the nomination of some high-class
candidates in that borough for the Board
of Aldermen on the fusion ticket, These
are the names Of some Of the men upon
whom pressure will be brought to accept
such nominations:
Ex-Mayor Charles A. Sheren. Col. An
drew D. Beard. who once ran for Mayor on
the Republican ticket: ex-Judge Hiram R.
Steele, Henry Hentz, Dick s, Ramsey,
S. Y. White and Frederick W. Hinrichs.
The plan is not likely to meet the ap-
proval Of the Republican managers, who
are confronted with candidates galore of
the usual Aldermanic size in every dis
trict where there is any chance Of success
at the polls. The blue blooded patriots,
however, can have the nominations in all
the hopeless districts for the asking.
