PRIESTS OBJECT TO PENNIES
Two New Jersey Pastors Rebuke Their
Congregations for Showing
the COppers.

At the last mass at ST. Michsel's Roman
Catholic church, Jersey City, Sunday, re-
ports the New York Times, Rev. NJ. J..
Duffy rebuked a portion OF the congregation
for putting pennies in the plate.
II have spoken Of this matter before"
said he, land l hope / shall not have oc-
casion to refer to 1t again. Most persons
who make use of pennies throw them at
organ grinders or put them into slot ma
chimes. To bring them here and put them
in the plate is an insult TO the church. I
wish 1t understood that l do not refer to
persons who give a penny honestly because
they cannot afford to give any more. They
are robbing themselves, and should give
nothing The church does not need their
money and does not want 1t. There are
man hardworking girls who give 20 cents
at every monthly collection. 1t is all they
can afford. The class l refer to are men
who put a penny or a nickel in the plate
and after mass go to the nearest saloon
and spend from so cents to 81, showing that
they care more for the s~aloonkeeper than
they do for the church"
Father Duffy p~refaced his remarks by
reading the annual report for 1902. It
showed that the collections for the year
amounted to $42, s45, of which 500, 900 had
been applied to the payment OF the church
debt.
Rev. P. F. smythe Of st. Joseph's Roman
Catholic church also referred to the penny
question. He said hat at the various
masses on Sunday, January 4, the collec-
tions included 1900 pennies. He believed
that each of the 1900 persons who gave
these pennies could have given a nickel and
thereby have better shown their apprecia>
tion Of the church, while at the same time
their contributions would have been Of
much greater benefit.

GENEROUS ACTS OF RoBBER
Admitting MissOurian Tells a story
to the Credit of Cole
Younger.

The late Major Emory s. Foster Of
Springfield, Mo-, although he was a gallant
union soldier during the civil war, always
STOOD up" for Cole Younger. Lasting
gratitude for generous treatment that he
once received from the daring bandit
caused him to do so. The story of the iu-
cident, as told by the old major himself. to
the Springfield Leader, is as follows: He
and his regiment took part in the battle at
Lone Jack, Mo, In the midst Of the en-
gagement, he was shot, and, as was thought,
fatally wounded. The union troops were
forced to retire. and leave their wounded
on the field. Foster and his brother lay be-
side each other in a hut when a young
bushwhacker who had been their enemy at
Warrensburg before the war entered. He
was half drunk, and had a pistol in each
hand. He was swearing that he was going
to kill the Fosters. "He caught sight Of us
lying there, and rushed over" related
Major Foster, His eyes were hendish.
Say your prayers, - you,' he shouted.
You die this minute
"A young fellow suddenly rushed for
ward.
"'You ID coward he said.
'In a moment he had seized the rowdy,
disarmed him and knocked him headlong
through a window. Then he stood guard
over us.
my name is Cole Younger he said,
and l pledge my name for your security
II thought l was mortally wounded and
confded 10 Younger that / had some 500
and a watch and chain and my brother a
considerable amount Of money, which we
would like to send to our mother in War
rensburg. Cole Younger took the money
and vsluables and four days later my
mother received HEM"
Major Foster never forgets this act OF
honor and kindness" the Springfield Leader
continues. when the Youngers were de-
nounced he defended them. When they
were imprisoned he zealously sought a par
don for them, and when things looked
blacklist, he. at Coles request, sent them
his photograph. Cole framed II in his cell"
Major Foster died at Oakland. Ca. tho

PENSION ASKED AND DECLINED
Soldier Explains that He Merely
Wanted to His
Right to One.

The pension bureau has discovered an old
soldier who has refused to accept a pension
from the government after applying for 1t,
reports the st. Louis Republic, and Commits
sioner Ware doesn't know exactly what to
think of it.
The veteran who has taken the unusual
course is John A. Daley Of Topeka.
But the next mail after the pension was
allowed came a letter from the old soldier,
in which he stated that he didn't want a
pension after all.
He didn't care for 1t, he said, and asked
Commissioner Ware, as a personal favor. to
remove his name from the pension list.
When Commissioner Ware received this
communication he was dumfounded. He
concluded that Daley was not of sound
mind.
SO a special examiner was sent out to
Kansas to make a thorough examination
into Mr.. Dailey's sanity and the most re-
markable part OF the whole affair was then
brought to light.
The examiner discovered that the veteran
was really in need of assistance from Uncle
Sam, and that, instead of being weak
minded, he was particularly bright, in spite
OF his advanced age. Mr.. Daley, the ex-
aminer reported, was bent nearly double
IIDm the NhtNNo VI a hisNaoN oIN ~
the field OF battle. He could not stand up
right and his entire form was twisted with
pain.
Mr.. Daley gave a peculiar reason for re-
fusing to take the pension, which had once
been his, although for a few days only. He
said he wanted TO proye to the people that
he had been a soldier for the union and
didn't care about the governments money,
as the government already had to spend
millions Of dollars annually in pensions.
When Commissioner Ware received the
report OF the special hammer he was at
a loss how 10 proceed. There was no pre-
cedent for such a thing and considerable
time was taken in determining what action
should be taken.
At last Commissioner Ware wrote Mr..
Daley a personal letter. in which he told
the veteran that as a special favor his name
would be removed from the pension list
and no money would be sent to him.

smoking and drinking and going out nights,

CENSURES THE COAL BARONS
Preacher Takes Big Strike as Subject for
Pulpit Editorial"
TALKS OF MANS RIGHTS WITH PROPERTY
Argues that Man on Earth f. but q
stewart and Points TO Moral
sense Of Right and
wrong.

Preceding his sermon Sunday morning,
Rev. z. Combie Smith OF the First Methodist
Episcopal church read a pulpit editorial on
the subject Of the Coal Famine from an
Ethical Standpoint" He laid the blame
for the present situation on the large coal
operators and scored them for the stand
they had taken. "A man, said the preacher,
has only a right to do what he ought with
his own. Under our present civilization
our Lives -.ar and are dependent one
on the otI.. and a man can not do what
be will with his property, because 1t is his.
As far n yhe legal right, there is latitude
this sidE r. prison for men to damn them
selves &C. tuin their ~fellow-Inen. But there
II a hiRss. moral sense Of right and wrong
which " look for men to obey. In this
fight between labor and capital, the former
is doubtless making grave mistakes. but II
is the c~onsummate insolence OF wealth, even
towards the chief executive of this nation,
which is the cause Of all this trouble be-
tween labor and capital. Men must learn
a higher spiritual law, that there is no abb
soiute ownership among men, hat we are
here only as stewards, and that we must
account for the way we have used the things
in our charge here"
The sermon which followed was a criti-
clsm Of critics, and held up to light the
uselessness Of those who were hinkers and
dreamers without doing any practical good.
Too many OF us, he complained, live in
contemplation. There is room for the
dreamer" he said, "if after he has worked
out his ideals and dreams he will come
down to earth and realize them. 1 hold in
contempt the mere critic; he who sits in an
easy chair and criticizes for the periodicals
and papers. He takes his pen and tears
the church to pieces. He criticizes the mis-
~sionaries OF the gospel who are fighting
hardships in every quarter Of the globe.
Then, when he has laid down his pen, h
does he do? Does he go out and accom-
plish some practical good? Oh, no! He
goes to hear Mrs. Patrick Campbell or
Madame Patti. Let us not be carpet
knights. Let us be men Of action"

FOUNDATION is LAID IN TRUTH.
So Says Rev. jerks in Discussing Sue
cess In Life.


cess In Life.
Rev. Edward Hart jerks, D.. D., last even
ing at the First Presbyterian church deliv-
cred his second address on Getting a
Start" The theme was; 1.-THE Man Who
Started and Failed" He said:
IL am going to use Saul, the king OF
Israel, to illustrate how men who promise
we'll in life often end in failure. The Bible
tells us that Saul was "a goodly young
man. In physical beauty none surpassed
him. He stood a head taller than his
fellows. When he first appears in the mar
rative he is hunting the lost asses OF his
father; II is much to his credit to see
him-soon to be king-honestly employed
in an humble sphere and not ashamed OF 1t.
Men are not to be judged by appear
ances; II they were, many a mighty man
OF the world would have to leave his pedeo-
tai Of fame. The Lord looketh on tho
heart The difference between success
and failure is more often moral than men
tai. So with Saul. We must not think
that his life of king was abortive. He
was for many years a great and successful
general and q king Of great popularity.
His great failure came through regarding
the voice of popularity more than that of
God.
VIC are NOT Tree Oh SuCn To-Day saul
made his first blunder at Gilgal. He waited
for Samuel, the priest, to come and offer
sacrifice until, fearing Tor his peoples i'm
patience, he took upon himself the priestly
ONCE and offered the burnt Offering. That
act revealed that he had no religious prin>
ciple-it was all expediency-a fatal ele-
ment in any mans success. When religion
Is mere ceremony, moral principle becomes
slack. And when moral principle is gone
man's credit and power are gone too.
There are plenty of men today who, II
they could get present success in business,
in politics, in any enterprise, would take
their chances on the future. Douglas tried
It with the homely, plain-dealing Lincoln,
Said Lincoln: Douglas doesn't care whether
slavery Is voted up or down; but God cares
and l care Douglas gained the public
ear at first, defeated Lincoln for the sen,
atorship; but when the great voice OF
a reused conscience asked for q leader
in the days Of the crisis, Lincoln was there
to answer the call of God to the presidency.
Men who go through the world with little
regard. for the underlying principle Of right.
eousness have trodden under foot eternal
realities which will not down. No mar
can ignore truth nor be Indifferent to the
right. He who tries to stay the laws Of
heaven might as well bid the stars cease
to swing on high.
II whose foundation is laid In the
truth. as IL Is In Jesus, will never be our
Of date. though perhaps out Of harmony
with the world-and in time or eternity
he shall succeed"

TALK ON KINDNESS TO ANIMALS,
Rev. Newton NJ. Mann's Sermon nj
Unity Church.

OhANN ShAEGh
Rev. Newton NJ. Mann preached a sermon
on Kindness to Animals" at Unity church
Sunday morning. He said In part:
Kindness to animals is an essentially
modern sentiment, Beyond the verse from
Proverbs which says, The righteous man
careth for his beast the Bible shows no
record of the love of God for animals. II
was not thought among the Christians OF
early days that animals were deserving Of
any humane treatment.
The child Is thoughtlessly cruel TO ami
mails and only laws can keep the child as
we'll as the man from being cruel TO ami
mails. Man is a progressive being in whom
the progression Is most rapid on the upper
side and especially in certain superficial
sentiments and aspirations, outruns the rest
OF the constitution. But life is often full Of
contradictions. fine mental powers and
aesthetic feelings being linked with the
outgrOwn passions of infrmity Of will and
the habits Of the barbarian. This contradic-
ttOn is most marked in the ages OF the
greatest progress, for then the elements
that are the slowest to modify get the fur
thest behind and Jar most violently with
the other faculties"
