SAYS GOD FORGETS NOT,
EVEN WHEN F0RGIVING
The Rev. Churchill Satterlee, of South
Carolina, PT0Clams Divine
Remembrance.

The Rev. Churchill SatterIee, son of
the Right Rev Henry Y. satterlee, bishop
of the diocese of Washington, occupied
the pulpit yesterday at Trinity Protes-
tant Episcopal Church, this city The
Rev Mr.. Satteriee is at present doing
pastoral work n the diocese OF CoIura-
bia. S. C.
The word forget" and the two senses
in which it is used in the Bible. was
the subject of his discourse. While it
is true, he said. that God cannot for
get" his claims upon US. il is equally
true that He cannot forget an act OF
sin committed by US. IN support of
his argument, the Rev Mr. SatterIee
quoted a number of passages from tie
scripture. In this connection. he said,
the words save" and forgive" are the
most comforting and sweetest known or
written. Those who forget God, he said,
perish. Those who have a Christian
feeling or belief he said, do not forget
God. but do forget the penftence which
is due Him. n this connection the Rev
Mr.. SatterIee said penitence is q charac-
teristic Of human personality and 'ndt-
viduality. Il IS the acknowledgements
and circumstances of sin The pain
Of pen:tence is our love for God. and
We cannot be penitent without this pain.
Forgiveness Not Forgetfulness.
He said: when the President Of
the United States pardons a guilty per-
son from Jail mis- crime is excused only
Moral forgiveness is much more real. for
then. both mind and body and soul are
happy in a full pardon As soon as a
transgressor Turns away from his sins
and allies himself with the good there
is in life, and presents the penitence
that God wants, 4 fun pardon is ready
for him, and Gull forgiveness given by
the Master. God asks for no contra
diction In believing in Him. God for
gives freely, but He does not forget. -
The younger Mr.. satterIee reminds one
very much Of his distinguished father
He has very Pleasing appearance. and
speaks with an impressiveness which
carries conviction TO his hearers

from the addresses mentioned that the
correct philanthropy is TO help those
who can, by our help, help themselves;
that the one who must be carried is not
worth carrying. and that in ali ether

unworthuy bestowed.
DIT. Radcliffe declared in answer tbat

The Terms Billion and Trillion.

There are two systems Of enumeration in
use at the present day, commonly called
the English and the French systems In
the former the billion is a million of mil
lionsj trillion a million of billions. and
each denomination is a million times the
one preceding In the latter (Which is the
system used in the United States) the bill
lion is a thousand millions, and each de-
nomination is a thousand times the pre-
ceding. Therefore, according to the Eng
ish notation, a trillion is the product of a
million involved to the third power Eng

The International Date Line.

The main course of the line at which
dates change in the Pacific is correctly
marked on every good map. There Is.
however, considerable difficulty in deter
mining whether the date at any particular
one OF the smaller islands is counted like
the dates to the eastward or like those
to the westward. The following para
graphs are an abstract of useful semi
official note from the United States Hv-
geographic Office:
Magellan approached the Philippines
from the eastward and up to 1s45 the
American date prevailed there. The com
merce of the islands was chiefly with
Mexico. Celebes is in the same east lon
gitude as Luzon-120 degrees-and has the
Asiatic date. The Manila authorities drop
ped December 81, 1874. from the calendar
cember 30 the 1st Of January, 1S45, thus
adopting the Asiatic date, which now pre-
walls throughout the islands
Prior to the purchase of Alaska in 1867
the Asiatic date was adopted throughout

can date is employed in Alaska, St Law
renee Island. all the Aleutian Islands, as
well as in Morell Island, Phoenix Islands
and in the Samoan group. The change in

of the City Attorney.
The contract to install seventy-five gas
regulators in the public buildings was
awarded to the Reliable Regulator Com
pany for s49S 70. Wilson objected 10 the
purchase of the regulators the ground
that it would require two additional en-
ployes to care for them. He held that 1t
would be cheaper to award the contract
to the Universal Gas Consumers Associa-
ton, which offered to charge rental of
SIS per month. Gas Inspector Tupper said
II would not be necessary TO employ any
additional men and the city is now pay
ing $50 rental monthly for the regulators.

CENTENARIANS ON THE
DECREASE IN IRELAND
497 in 1901 as Against 800 in 1881
They Are Mostly
Females.

In the general report on the census of
Ireland. just issued as a volume of $40
pages, attention is drawn to the fact that
IN every 100000 Of the population there
was decrease Of 1854 in the number un-
der 20 years compared with 1891, and
an increase of 2490 in those in the period
from 20 to 55 years of age, and of 76i
in persons aged 55 and upward. The cen
tenarians in 1901 numbered 491 Q94 males
and BOB females); in 1891, 57S (229 males
and 349 females), and in 1881, $50 (224 males
and 466 females). A male was returned
on the present occasion as having reached
the patriarchal age of 10 years. Fearing
that mistake might possibly have been
the enumerator furnished the following
interesting information regarding the
case: He stated that he and a merchant
belonging to Clifden very minutely ques-
toned the old man, who said that he re-
membered seeing the French fleet in 1898
sailing off the west coast toward the
north, at which time he was a young man
about 10 years of age. The enumerator
also added that the man died in August,
1901; his death was subsequently regis

DYNAMITE ENDS
MANAGERS LIFE
Prominent Citizen Of
Hollister Accident
ally Killed.
Special Dispatch to The CAN.

HOLLISTER, Jan. 19.-The destruction
of squirrels by the use of dynamite is a
dangerous business. This was clearly
demonstrated this morning, when John
Scholefeld, the manager of the Bonnie
Brae fruit farm, was blown to pieces by
a premature explosion.
Scholefield was alone at the time of the
disaster and the officials and employees
Of the company have no definite knowl-
edge as to the cause of the explosion.
For some time the management of the
company has been given considerable
worry and more labor in the effort to
exterminate the squirrels around the
fruit dryer. The pernicious little ami
mails caused alarming damage and their
immediate destruction became a matter
Of serious concern.
1t was decided to use dynamite for the
purpose and Scholefield undertook the
task. He had twenty pounds of the dan
gerous material with him and for some
reason which will never be known it
exploded when he was near it. Schole-
field was well known resident of Hol-
lister.

DRAW THE LINE
At PET PUPPIES
Auckland Officials Cast
Insult at American
Canine.

His Majesty's health officers at the port
Of Auckland, New Zealand, are no re-
specters of "purps." Because they ruled
that one woolly pet dog belonging to a
bred-in-the-bone American citizen must
go into quarantine for six months. like
any Ieprous coolie. the fiery American
citizen returned half the circle of the
glcbe rather than submit to any such
tyranny.
Garibaldi is the name Of the wooIIy
dog. A. H. NJ. Bacca is the name of the
outraged American citizen, who was
nobly supported in his act of. flounting
the British lion by his wife and his sis
ter-in-law, Miss r. Shirley.
When the steamer Ventura touched the
dock yesterday Garibaldi stalked proudly
down the gangplank to his native heath,
conscious that his honor had been vindi-
Gated. Behind him came A. H. M.
Bacca, Mrs. A. II. M. Bacca and Miss
Shirley, poorer in pocket by $500, but re-
joicing in a sense of duty done.
1t was with light heart that Carl
baldi and his party set sail from this
port some three months since bound on
a tour of sightseeing. But at Auckland
the 1eeting dream of pleasure came to
an abrupt end. Garibaldi. the pride of
the family, it was ruled, must remain
in hateful quarantine for six months ere
he could set paw to solid earth.
Furthermore Garibaldi's board bill
would be five quid ten,'' which in the
land of his fathers is s27.
Nor would the excellence of his fare
during quarantine be vouchsafed 1t
might be beefsteaks and again it might
not.
The good American blood in Garibaldi's
heart revolted at tyranny greater than
that of IS. Likewise the blood in the
