BY the Rev. JOHN y. LYLE.
DEATH or SAUL AND JONATHAN.
First Samuel. xxNi:l3.
The Logical End.


The life of Saul had been drawing to
3 disastrous end with mathematical pre-
cision BY his own consent the forces
OF evil had grasped him in their vice
like grip. and like a ship driven by
terrific storm toward the rocks OF de-
stTuction. so Saul's life was driven. The
nature of his end had not been hard to
predict Some wicked men foreshadow
doom for themselves. They foretaste the
horrors of he'll even in this life. The
lightning of divine indignation had
been flashing for many years over Saul's
pathway. the clouds of divine judgment
had been gathering thick over his head,
the thunders OF divine warning had been
clearly sounding in his ears. but on
on he went in his course OF defiant sin,
rebellion. and unbelief, but after a while
the lightnings struck, the clouds roll
ed away. and the thunders ceased. and
Saul's earthly career was ominously
ended.
If the wonderful story OF the first
King OF Israel had been put purposely
into dramatic form we should expect
that the last act would be precisely
what the record in Samuel makes Il, CT
gloom and terror and ignominious death
on the field of defeat in battle. The
nnities, as we say in criticism, are pre-
served, because the story is faithful 10
real life, from which tragedy obtains its
materials. As we follow the life Of Saul
from its origin, so lofty and pure and so
full OF presage. Of hope, up TO the sum
NIT Of its opportunities. through its
period so brief and decisive OF resi-
sion from the word of God and its
abandonment of his supreme guidance,
then down the shadowed path Of humil-
iation, gloom and self-reproach- he
sorrow OF the world wOrketh death
We are prepared TO have II end as II
does on the mountain Of Gi4boa. There,
with his three sons lying near him on
the deserted field. is the immense
form OF the first King OF Israel. the
anointed OF God. the choice Of the peo-
pie. and the man whom Samuel loved
and mOurned for after his dpostasy
and whom David, in the splendid gen
erosity Of his heart. celebrated in the
Song of the Bow, as being lovely and
pleasant in his life The history of this
first melancholy failure in the kingship
Of Israel had been so faithfully followed
already that We only need 10 gather W
a few impressions which come to US as
we look upon the battlefield and see
Saul lying there dead by his own hand
or at least Fastening his own death by
his own act"
The following are the pathetic words
with which the sacred historian tells the
saE story of the end of Saul, and who
also carried down with him his noble sor
and the worthy prince. Jonathan.
Now the Philistines fought against
Israel, and the men of Israel fed before
the PhiHsunes. and fell down slain in
Mount Guboa. and the Philistines fol
lowed hard upon Saul and upon his sons
and the Philistnes slew Jonathan, ana
Abinadab. and Malchi-shua. the sons ot
saul. and the battle went sore against
Saul. and the archers overlook him, and
he was greatly distressed by reason ol
the archeTs.

At the conclusion Of the banquet
Dr.. Dexter spoke on the topic The
Endeavor Society and the Church" He
laid special emphasis on the fact that
the Endeavor Society is not an oTgani-
zation separate from the church, but a
vital part Of the church itself just as IS
the Sunday school. DR.. Dexter. also laid
emphasis on the obligation of the In
deavorers TO be faithful and loyal to
their church. This was in line with all
the utterances Of DR.. Clark and other
leaders in the Christian Endeavor move
ment.
Mr.. KeIlar spoke on The Christian
Endeavor Union" He stated that the
aim Of the Christian Endeavor Union
was to help each local society as much
as possible. The monthly meetings. so
ciety visitation, correspondence. and all
other union work was for the sole Pur-
pose OF helping the societies and the in
dividual Endeavorers to do more efficient
work in their own church. The En-
deayor Union was on the same plan as
the District Sunday School Association.
in which Sunday school officers and
teachers og all denominations joined.

 man AEti-Trust Law.

San Francisco, Cal, May 12-Before Judge DeHaven, in the United States district court, today, the Federal Salt company. O. which D. F. Skinner is president. was convicted of maintain ing a monopoly, contrary to the Sher- man antitrust law. When the case was opened this morning Attorney H. B.

 Judge DeHaven will pronounce sen tence on Thursday.
 The maximum fine is S5000. This case marks the first conviction under the Sherman law, which went into effect in 1892. Last November the attorney generals office won a civil suit before Judge Morrow, against the same com pany. on identical evidence.
 The successful termination of the Salt company held.

It es- tablished a business in California and quickly secured a monopoly of the pro- duct on the coast, raising the price from & and S6 a ton. to $30 and $32, The indictment on which the action of to- day was based was filed February 2S. The other counts of the indictment are similar in substance to that discussed in court today.

He Finds That It Puts Newspapers
 Only Within Proper Bounds.

Harrisburg, Pa, May Ex-Governor Pennypacker approved the Grady-S -Salus libel bill today and at the same time issued a long statement giving the req sons for his action. The bill, which was in the governors hands for mere than month. goes into effect immediately, and repeals all laws or parts Of laws inconsistent with the new act
 The governor says in his statement that the questions raised by the bill are Of very grave importance and affect large business interests, the freedom of speech and the press, the right C.; the citizen to be informed concerning current affairs and the conduct of the government, as well as his right to protect his reputation and home from the injuries that arise from careless or negligent as well as malicious false re- port.

There Will Be No More Rural Deliv-

Washington, D. C., May 12.-Post master General Payne has announced that there would be no more establish ments of free delivery postal service until July l. the beginning of the next fiscal year. This is one result of the investigation of postOffice affairs and of the discovery that at the present rate of increase of the number Of routes there would be a deficit of $20, 900 in the rural free delivery service by the end Of the fiscal year.
 Instructions have been sent to Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Btistow to curtail expenses. It is not intended. however, that the installation of pro- posed routes shall be suspended ami that the field work therefore will con- total number of routes fairly entitlei to establishment in the entire country would be 3S,0OO and that at the present rate of increase this would be reached two years hence.
 MT. Payne said tonight that he had asked the Civil Service commission to have it's representative make an inves- tigation or the Washington postoffice. in addition to the investigation already made by the inspectors. He said this action was taken on account of charges of violations of the civil service law in that office. The civil service men, he said, will make their report tomorrow.

cused of the illegal branding of cattle belonging to H. R. Wills. He had been discharged on preliminary examination for lack of evidence, but it was under stood that there was plenty of evidence if it could only be secured, and it was intended to bring the matter before the next grand jury. Cameron and Ander- son were intimate friends. and Ander- son was also on friendly terms with Wills. Cameron and Wills got together in some way and agreed to leave the matter of the possession of the cattle to the arbitration of Anderson. This agreement was first made known to Anderson by Cameron. It was decided that the arbitra tions should be made on December l. and on that day Cam erOn and Anderson left one of the An dersOn ranches to go to Agua Caliente, where Wills lives. and near which the father of Cameron lives. The disputed cattle were in a corral near the same place.
 Though the arbitration was never completed, Anderson signified that he would give judgment in favor of Wills. That night he and Cameron had some words on the subject at a saloon. and Cameron left for home alone. A half an hour or an hour later Anderson set out over the same road accompanied by a young man by the name of Robert Lietch. who was the only witness of the killing. He testified in general way that it was done in self-defense. He said that he and Anderson came upon Cameron, who was waiting for them along the road. Tine quarrel about the arbitration was renewed by Gamer on and that he made movement as if to draw a gun. when Anderson shot him four times. There was some varia- tion in the testimony of Lietch at diff ferent times but not on essential points The testimony against Anderson rested upon a threat he is said to have made at a saloon. upon statements and his conduct after the tragedy, and upon statement Lietch is said to have made to Joe Romig. the principal witness for the territory.
 The case was taken before the next grand jury ard was dismissed. though further consideration of it was referred to the following grand jury. Before that grand jury there were no new witnesses, but some of those for the territory gave some new evidence ami Anderson was indicted.
