THREE TRUST EVILS AND THE REMEDY.
BY Albert J. Bevsridge. Senator from India

There are three trust evils. First, the water
ing of stocks, which defrauds the innocent pur-
chaser of those securities. While only lew OF
our eighty millions are injured In that way, that
evil must nevertheless be remedied, and Its only
remedy is publicity, for no one will buy worth
less share of stock if he knows the condition OF
the corporation that issues it. When statements
of their business are published to the world,

Wellington. kan. June 4.-There are
three thousand head of Texas cattle n
the Santa Fe stock yards. The Santa
Fe has been unloading the cattle into
the stock yards here for the last three
days and not only the stock yards are
crammed to utmost capacity. but addi-
tional yards have been built and are
also taxed to hold the big herd. The
cattle have been a long time on the
road and viii need fattening before
they viii be presentable for the market.
A large number of the cattle are dead
and several hundred are in such condi-
ton that they will soon die. This was
caused by being a long time without
food or water on account Of the tie
ups. A train load Of cattle was made
up yesterday to go east but it was
necessary to bring them back here as
the line was Impassable.

TnE SIGN on THE FIsH.
Why It Was Used as a Symbol by the
Early Christian Church.

The symbols upon early Christian mon
uments, Of which SO many have been dis
covered this last century, are curious and
interesting. One OF the most frequent is
is used, and also the Greek word for fish.
says Dr. A. w. Patten, who has looked
into the subject Ramsay. in his excava-
tlons in Asia Minor, has found some very
important inscriptions in which the fsh
signs are frequent.
But why was it that the early Chris
tlans used this sign2 The reason will ap-
pear when we remember that they found
in the letters of the Greek word for fish
acrostic on the name Of the Savior.
The word IS -lchthtlS. Each letter of the
word in the original Greek begins one OF
the words in the following phrase: Jesus
Christ. Son of God, the Savior
SO the word 'ichthus'' came to stand for
a Christian, and It was used a mark OF
on burial monuments but came to be used
on various utensils. A great many terra
Gotta lamps have been found, especially al
SpalatO, which is found the impress OF
the fish. Many Of these "ichthus'' larps
are found also at Rome. The word fish
came TO be used also to describe a Chris
tan and to call man a fish was equiv
alent to calling him a Christian
In one Of the old Christian frescOes. In
dicating a baptism. a man is represented
as pulling a fish out of the water Ramsay
tells us that it was customary IN Asia
Minor in the second century for the Chris
ton to use this symbolical language. 1t
was hardly safe then for them to speak
openly Of their faith in Christ. They We're
accustomed to wear rings with the flsh
sign as a signet much as we wear SYM
bolic badges today.
One day two men met, neither aware OF
the faith OF the other One without say
ing a word, traced with his stick the figure
of fish in the sand. The other quickly
burst out in assertion Of his Christian
others allegiance TO Christ-Phnadelphia

says the rains have washed away the dirt
