Mr.. Roberts was the only witness
yesterday in the Blair case before the
grand jury.
LAS the alleged forgeries and other
misdeeds were committed more than
three years ago, the statute of limita-
lions will apply to the case and pro-
hibit prosecution.
What Became of Money.
1.-The people are probably interested
in knowing what became of the vast
sums of money that Mr.. Blair is &C
cused of having got away with during
the last few years. Mr. Blair is cur
rently reported as carrying life insur
| ance that costs him $4,000 annually.
He also had to pay the interest, as it
fell due, on the bogus loans, otherwise
his crime would have been discovered
long ago. With the amount of the
Blow estate, $63, 300, and that of the
Dick matter, $4,000, the total en-
bezzlement would reach $403. 900. Five
per cent. on this would amount to $780,,
600 annually. Add to this family eX-
penditures of about $4,000 a year, and
you have a total annual outlay Of
about $4,000. 1t is hardly believed
that, running over a period of seven
years, his income from his law prac
tice was averaging more than $4,000
a year. That would make the net de-
felt every year about $45, 900, or, in the
last seven years, about $215,000. He
bought his country home from Mrs.
Georgia Myers Coppell, in 1898, giving
$4,000 for the place, and expanding
like amount in improvements. The
furnishings of the house, which are ele-
giant and are in splendid taste, are said
to have cost him 100000. This would
account for almost 100000 of the de-
falcatiOn, to say nothing of his losses
on the stock market, which, it is al
legged, were considerable"
Denies Roberts Statements.
James L. Blair denounces Mr.. Rob-
ers statements, as outlined above, as
tissue of falsehood woven about few
grains of fact. He denounces Roberts
as an migrate, whom he, for years, sup
ported out of pure charity, and asks
that the public suspend judgment, pend
ing a judicial determination as to their
truth or falsity.

Blow Estate Matter.

According to Roberts story, Her
bert Wadsworth, husband of Mrs Mar
tina Blow Wadsworth, one of the bene-
ficiaries of the Blow trust estate, hur-
ried across the country from New York
in response to a message that it was
suspected that Mr. Blair. as co-trustee
of the estate, had dissipated securities
amounting to more than $4,000
Mr.. Wadsworth, too, is said to have
confronted Mr.. Blair with accusations
that he had abused the trust imposed
in him, and again, it is said, Mr. Blair
admitted the facts and pleaded for a
chance to repay the amount of the al
legged embeZZlement.
In telling the story, Attorney Roberts
omitted none of the details. He un-
earthed the evidence, il is claimed, that
resulted in Mr. Blair being dropped as
the agent here for Dick Bros. & Co..
and which forced him to resign as CO.
trustee Of the Blow trust estate, the lat
ter shortage, 1t Is said, being made UP
by friends.

A ND this is the God of Whom it is said:
n He careth for you" The All-Know-
ing, All-Powerful, ALLOWING, Ever
Present God. How can we doubt Him
How can we fret and chafe under His
discipline? How dare we chide Him
with having forgotten us? He careth
for us, and because He is all-knowing
and all-wise, He knows what is best for
us.

the sun shone, gliding the dripping

little tree stood sparkling with frost.
But at evensong it died. Then the monk
sought the cell of a brother monk, and
told his strange experience.

the dark hours of the night, how they
ought to still the murmur of complaint,
how they ought to make us forget the

Not Large Enough to Demand
Recognition of Our Rights.

LONDON, OcC. ZO.-lC Is clear JnaC
Russia recognizes that the United
States will be at least inactively hostile
to her cause in any conflict with Japan.
The Russian government is also trying
to persuade itself that it can ignore
the danger of any active defense Of
American rights in the far east How
else can the following remarkable ut
terance which Novoe Vremya was per-
mitted to make last week be interpre-
ted:
Navy Not Large Enough.
American statesmen realize the
approaching of collisions with trans
oceanic powers, and therefore are in
sisting upon a rapid enlargement of
their navy. At present this navy is also
considered not large enough to attain
The objects desired, and the powers of
the old world are not compelled to
reckon very seriously with the United
States Their real force is not very
great. 1t is only when they possess
a navy that will command the ocean
separating the old from the new world
that the Americans will be able to
demand the recognition of them. This
will not be soon. and in the meantime
American demands and threats need
not particularly alarm either Europe
or Asia
Unable to Defend Our Rights.
This is an undisguised declaration
that American rights anywhere need
not be respected because the United
States is unable to defend them. No
utterance could express more clearly
or frankly the cynical INSCRIPTIONS
ness of the Russian policy. The Won
der is that the Russian authorities al
low it to be avowed so openly, and
that apparently they have no fear of
the effect upon high-spirited people of
so fragrant and contemplated a def
ance.
|, 1t is interesting to note in this con-
nection that Secretary of War Root,
while in London, has not been reserved
in the expression of his opinion that
the United States should not hesitate
to defend to the uttermost her treaty
rights in the far east.

and fear, but to know our God and
Father in all His wisdom, in all His
power, in all His faithfulness, in all
His love, begets confidence and abiding
trust. LET us draw near with a true
heart and seek to learn more perfect
ly Who and what God is.
LIE is omniscient-an All-Knowing
l l God. He knows how the planets
roll in their orbits, and He knows the
way you take. He knows the secrets
of His universe, and He knows the Sc
crets of your life and heart. He knows
the tiny creatures which the most pow
erful microscope of man is hardly able
to discover, and He knows the poorest
weakest and smallest of His children
He knows the very number of the hairs
of your head, and if His eye follows
the humble, despised sparrow as it
falls to the ground, will not His ever
watchful eye behold you as you STUN
bic and fall? He knows all about you,
and He will care for you, for are We
not of much more value than the spar
row? God is not so busy with the con-
troll of the universe that He has not
time to know every detail of your life
His eye runs to and fro through all
the earth, and His children must re-
member: Thou God seest me-" He
knows when the sunshine floods our
pathway. He knows when darkness is
round about us and the face of the sun
is hid. And it is enough to know that
God knows. Abraham went out from
the homeland, his friends and kindred,
mot knowing whittier he went" but
he knew that it was all right, for God
knew. God knows your pathway leads
through many a dark valley, through
suffering, and trouble, and trial, and
because God knows, you do not have
to know. And God can look way be-
yond the dark clouds and see the glory
of the Tesplendent sun. He knows the
end of man from the beginning, and
He knows that beyond the trial is the
triumph, beyond the storm is the calm,
beyond the affection is the blessing.
And because God knows it all, the
Christian can trust, and wait and hope.
Oh, it is blessed to realize and remem-
Der that our God is an All-Knowing
God!

of New Holland, Ohio, Under
Arrest in San Francisco.

San Francisco. Oct 25.-John X.
Brown, for 13 years past cashier of the
Union bank, of New Holland, o., is
under arrest here for embezzlement.
He disappeared from the bank on Au-
gust last, and upon investigation OF
his accounts, was found he was $193,-
900 short in his cash. He was subse-
Quently indicted upon four charges of
felony and ENLIGHTENMENT, and close
search has been made for him in all
directions, until finally he was located
here and arrested.
Has Had n Hard Time.
According to his own account, Brown
has had a hard time of it in his wan
behring's to and fro in an effort to evade
justice He went to Mexico, but failed
to find work there, and started for
Honolulu by way OF this city, but had
no better fortune there on his arrival
in his attempt to get employment. He
travelled under an assumed name all
the time, but professed to have for
gotten the numerous aliases he used.
Since his arrival here he tried to OBJ
tain work at anything, even as day
laborer, but the fates were against
him, and even that could not be Sc

needed, they are not present to fight for
their loved ones and protect them from
harm. Who can realize the agony Of
such an hour? Mother and the children
in peril, father and the boys far away
and unable to help! When the human
friend is most needed, when the dis
tress is greatest, he cannot help, he
cannot protect and deliver. because he
is far away. But 1t is not so with our
God. He Is ever-present. Nothing but
sin can separate from Him. After going
through AL manner Of difficulties and
trials, sufterings and hardships, perse-
cutions and dangers, Paul exclaims: II
am persuaded that neither death, nor
life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor
powers, nor things present, nor things
to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any
other creature, shall be able to sep
arate us from the love of God, which is
in Christ Jesus our Lord" Jesus was
with His disciples in the boat, why need
they have been so filled with terror,
why need they have chided Him with
neglect? With Jesus in the boat they
could not perish. And with God and
His Christ near the Christian at all
times, what has he to fear?

T HIS story is told of certain Capt.
| D., who commanded a sailing
vessel from Liverpool to New York. On
one voyage he had all his family on
board the ship. One night, when all
were quietly asleep, there arose sud-
den squat of wind which came sweep
ing over the waters until it struck the
vessel and instantly threw her on her
side, tumbling and crashing everything
that was movable and awaking the pas
sengers to a consciousness that they
were in imminent peril. Every one on
board was alarmed and uneasy, and
some sprang from their berths and be-
gan to dress, that they might be ready
for the worst. Capt. D. had little
girl on board, just eight years old, who,
Of course, awoke with the rest.
What's the natter?" asked tn
frightened child.
They told her a squall had struck the
ship.
rs father on deck?" she asked.
Yes, fathers on deck"
And with that assurance the little
one dropped herself on her pillow again
without a fear and in a few moments
was sleeping sweetly again in spite of
winds or waves. 1t was enough for her
to know that her father was in charge.
And when the Christian knows that
God is present at all times and in charge
of their welfare and safety how it ought
to reassure and bring that peace in the
heart which passeth understanding.
