TABLES TURNED AT LAST.
Colored Church Draws the Color Line
and Would Gust White Pastor.

Milwaukee, Oct. 16.-Pastor Fen
wick, of the African NJ. E. church has
been found to be a white man, and
accordingly some of the brethren are
drawing the color line tight and try
ing to replace him by a negro.
The story came out during the
trial of J. W. Bess, a member of the
church, who was charged by Pastor
Fenwick with robbing his residence.
The preacher being asked about his
color, replied, 81 am a gentleman.
Later, he admitted his Caucasion de-
cent.
Mr. Fenwick says he never claimed
to be anything but a white man, in
spite of the fact that he passed as
co1ored. He joined the church at
Keokuk, Iowa, in 1884, being drawn
to the work through desire to help
the colored people He does not in
tend to give up his charge, and says
the little group of malcontents'' Will
have lively time in driving him out

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications as they cannot
reach the diseased portion Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inf1amed condition OF the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever:
nine cases out of ten are caused by
Catarrh, which is nothing but an in
famed condition Of the mucous SER

upon the country the idea that prac-
teal remedy was to be found in
modification of the statute. This
comes to General Grants aphorism
that the best way to get rid of an
obnoxious law is to enforce it.
1t is also pointed out that the three
judges on the circuit court were unan-
imous in their decision, point that
must have weight.
Extent of Decision.
If this decision of the lower courts
is sustained it will seemingly be pos
sible to go to great lengths in limit
ing the acquisition of property by a
single corporation, or perhaps by a
single individual. Many lawyers here
are inclined to agree with Judge Loeb
rem that if the Northern Securities
company affects the antitrust law,
Mr.. Rockefeller as an individual
would offend it were he to purchase
a majority of the stock of both of
these trans continental railroads.
There is thus involved the possible
afirmance Of the proposition that if
a man has the means and desires to
buy a majority of the stock in two
railroads, which are competitors, he
commits a criminal offense and VIC
lates the law OF the land.
On the other hand, if the decision
should be favorable to the Northern
Securities company, simple and easy
method for practically uniting all the
railroads of the country would have
received judicial sanction. The
method would apply to almost every
thing. There could be holding COM
pany or series Of holding compa-
MES, like the Northern Securities,
and then on top of that single hold
ing company, which might nominate
the whole system. This last corpora
ton might be organized under the
laws of New Jersey as was done in
the case of the Rock Island scheme
last year, under the provision of it's
charter and bylaws, in such a way
as to enable owners of a minority Of
the stock to control the entire proper
ty.
A case might be pictured of two
corporations each of $500 900 CAPT
tai. To control both would require,
in the ordinary way, slightly more
than 100000. But by organizing a
holding corporation of 100000, the
owners Of s501 900 in its stock might
absolutely control the entire $4,000
900, property. 1t might be possible
to go a step further and organize a
holding company with bonds, preferred
stock and common stock, providing
that only the last named should have
voting power. Then all that would
be necessary would be to acquire a
majority OF the common stock which
might be a small fraction OF the en-
tire issue.

THE MERGER
HEARING
Has Been Set by Su-
preme Court for Dec. "A
GOVERNMENT COUNSEL HOPEFUL
Former Decisions Of the Court Have
Been Against Such Com
binations.


Washington Oct 16.-Monday, Dec.
ii. is the date which has been set FOR
the hearing of the Northern Securi-
ties ease by the supreme court. For
mally the appearance for the govern
ment is that of the attorney general.
and in this case he will, according to
present plans, appear alone. The
Northern Securities will be represent
ed by John w. Griggs, former attor-
ney general; NJ. D. Grover, c. w.
Bum, Francis Lynde Stetson and
George B. Young. 1t is also known
that John d. Johnson of Philadelphia
has been retained.
The case will undoubtedly come up
on the day named How long the
court will hold the case under consiG-
Grafton, 10 one can say with certain
ty. The decision may come in two
weeks or in two years
The outcome is already a subject
of considerable speculation. It's poll
teal bearings are almost as far
reaching as its economic. The preva-
lent opinion here is that the decision
will he an atfirmance of that Of the
circuit court Of appeals. The reasons
for this belief are varied. but in gen
eral their basis may be summarized
as follows:
Afirmance would seem the logical
outcome CT previous adjudications of
the supreme court. The whole trend
Judicial, utterance in eXpoun ling,
or Interpreting and applying the Sher-
man antitrust law, from the trans
Missouri case to the present time has
been in this direction. The initial
error # there was one. was made in
that case. Senator Hoar. chairman of
the Judiciary committee. has said in
effect that he and others had sup
posed this antitrust law was designed
TO prohlbb unreasonable restraints
Of trade, and not to put a check upon
such competition as might appear to
be reasonable or even necessary in
given cases. That has really peen
the question before the supreme cOurt
Did congress in passing the Sherman
antitrust act mean any more than to
enact statute in harmony with the
common law of England and this coun.
try, and also COnsonant with legisla.
luton of the various states on the
same subject? Or did congress real
" mean to say that anything whatso
ever that operates directly to restrain
interstate competition comes within
the ban OF this statute, and is there
by declared unlawful? Four Judges
were of the former opinion and five
of the latter.
Changes In the Court.
1t is furthermore notable that ot
the four minority justices in this
trans-Missouri case only one is left
on the bench, justice White. Hiz
associates, Field. Gray and Shiras
are no longer there. Of the five ius
tlces rendering the trans Missouri de-
casion, Fuller. Harlan, Brewer Brown
aho Peckham, all are on the court

FAITH HEALING
PLACED UNDER ban
By the New York Court of Appeals
Dependence Upon 1t Criminal
Negligence.

Albany, N. Y, Oct. 16.-Especial
interest attaches to the decision
handed down by the court of appeals
in the case of the people VS.. Pierson
declaring dependence on faith heal
ing in the case of sickness to be Grim
ina, negligence Pierson lives at
White Plains, and early in 1901 was
sentenced to a fine of $500 or five
hundred days Imprisonment for
criminal neglect in failing to provide
a licensed physician to attend his It,
month-old adopted daughter in a case
Of bronchial pneumonia, which after
ward proved fatal.
The conviction was secured under
the penal code, which holds that "a
person who omits without lawful ex
cuse to perform a duty by law I'M
posed upon him, to furnish food
clothing, shelter or medical attend
ance to minor is guilty." etc.
Judge Bartlett, in the prevailing
opinion in the appellate division, held
that medical attendance" referred
to in the statute, does not mean ex-
clusively the attendance of a medi-
cal practitioner in the general sense
of the term.
The appellate division reverse the
conviction.
In its opinion, written by Judge
Haight, the court of appeals says:
at would seem that the legislative
intent is reasonably clear, although
possibly more precise language could
have been employed. The section of
the code under which the Indictment
was found contemplates that there
are persons upon whom the law casts
duty of caring for minors. We are
aware that there are people who be-
lieve that the Divine power may be
invoked to heal the sick, and faith is
all that is required.
There are others who believe that
the Creator has supplied the earth,
natures storehouse, with everything
that man may want for his support
and maintenance, including the resto-
ration and preservation of his health
and that he is left to work out his
own salvation under fixed natural
laws. There are still others who be-
lieve Christianity and science go hand
in hand, both proceeding from the
Creator that science is but the agent
OF the Almighty, through which He
accomplishes results, and that both
science and Divine power may be in
voked together to restore diseased
and suffering humanity.
But, sitting as a court of law for
the purpose OF constituting and deter
mining the meaning OF statutes, we
have nothing to do with varionces in
religious belief, and have no power
to determine which is correct. We
place no limitations upon the power
of the mind over the body, the power
Of faith to dispel disease, or the power
of the Supreme Being to heal the
sick. We merely declare the law as
given us by the legislature. We find
no error On the part of the trial court
that called for reversal

WAR ON THE PERSONALITIES.
Food Commissioner Mcdonald Gives
Warning to Dealers.

E. A. Mcdonald, Washington state
food commissioner, believes in wag-
ing war in winter, as we'll as in the
summer time. He is now planning a
new campaign against "doped" food.
The tempting but questionable oys-
ter, the mysterious sausage and the
fresh fish OF uncertain date are
among the latest objects OF the COM
missioner's attack. He has issued the
following warning to the dealers:
''To meat, fish and oyster dealers:
have been informed that preserva-
tives are being used on fresh meats
and fish, in sausage, head cheese and
oysters which are sold in open stock.
I do not know personally that the
above is true, but consider it my du-
ty to make an investigation, and also
to serve notice to all dealers. giving
them an opportunity to discontinue
the use of preservatives which are
considered poisonous.
During the month of November I
will make an investigation and every
month thereafter. All dealers will be
prosecuted where preparations are
used containing salicylic acid or for
maldehyde
This policy is adopted for the rea-
son that l believe that it is the du-
ty of the state to give reasonable no
tice when change is made in the
rulings of the commissioner. Yours
respectfully,
&c. A. MCDONALD.

three-ffths vote was required to carry
the bonds, the actual majority was
