MERGER CASE COMES UP.

ST LOUIS. March lS.-The famous
case OF the United States vs.. the Nor.
thern Securities company. comprising
the Northern Pacific and Great Nor
theru railroads. which has been in
litigation for some time, was called
for trial today in the United States
circuit court with Judges Caldwell.
Sanboru and Tha,er on the bench.
The case comes 10 st. Louis for
trial because OF the fact that the
United States court at st. Paul, where
the case originated through action
taken by Governor Van SAINT, and the
United States court at St. Louis are
in the same circuit, and ST. Louis is
more convenient for some OF the iur-
lists and counsel engaged in the case
than ST Paul. Boih sides are repre-
sented by an cmin' Mt array of legal
talent and the trial promises to be
one of the most notable ever held in
United States courts in this city. The
issue at stake is equally important. as
upon the decision of the court de
pends the much mooted question as 10
whether the Sherman antitrust law
can be made an effective weapon in
the regulation or suppression of al
legged unlawful combines of capital.

THE eARNum SHOW ONCE MORE.

NEW YORK. March lS.-The circus
has come to town and the small boys
and many of their elders, too. are hav-
ing visions of elephants, clowns and
bareback riders This time it is the
original Barnum & Bailey show, fresh
from the triumphs of a fve-years'
tour in Europe. The show returned
to this country last fall and during the
past few months an army of work
men have been singing red paint and
putting on gold leaf so that everything
will look spick and span when the
grand entree takes place in Madison
Square Garden tonight. There is only
one drop of bitterness in the cup of
joy for the small boy. There is to be
no street parade. The city authorities
have decided that with the coustruc-
tion of the subway the streets are so
torn up that a parade would endnnger
the crowd Of spectators.

WILL TRY
CELEBRATED
CASE

ST. LOUIS, Mo, March 1s.-The
hearing the celebrated Northern Sc
curities case. involving a combination
of northwestern railroads. John
Griggs. former attorney general OF the
United States, and other lawyers Of
national repute will appear in the
case. James Peck, assistant United
States attorney general made the
opening argument.
Attorney Beck said that New Jer-
sey gave the Northern Securities COM
pany powers indefinite In scope and
perpetual in character. vested in the
hands OF few, by methods secret in
seven OF the stockholders of two hun
dred millions of Northern Security
stock. A bare majority, he said. con-
trolled the Burlington, Northern Pa
cifc and Great Northern systems,
with over billion OF capital More
over, the board of directors could des-
ignate committee of three with power
to use the seal of the corporation at
pleasure.
Thus two men may control unlimit-
GU poNeio up the company, anu tueTe-
by the vast powers of the three great
railways and their subsidiary lines.
This" exclaimed Attorney Beck,
lis clearly violation of existing laws
whose provisions must be enforced un-
less government by the people is an
Illusion. The Importance of the case
cannot be exaggerated. Probably
there never was case in court OF
more vital concern to the American
people II the government shall pre-
vail an important and salutatory prln-
ciple will be affirmed by which great
aggregations of capital will be pre-.
vented from sitting competition"
Attorney Beck roundly scored the
great financial magnates. declaring
that Hill. Morgan. Hartman and the
rest were not to be excused for open
violations OF the law. That the will
of the people Is supreme and that tho
pooling process indulged in by these
men was in direct opposition to pub
lie welfare. Mr. Beck analyzed tho
Sherman antitrust law, showing that
it prohibited combinations such as had
been effected by Hin. Morgan and
Hartman. and very sharply denounc-
ed the state of New Jersey for It's
privileges for petty fees He said that
this merger would put stop to all
competition in the northwest, and
really meant ruin to thousands of peo-
pie.

The speaker went after preachers

The speaker went after preachers
and church deacons in this wise:
You say you have some OF the best
men in town on your boards; they
have good churches. and tell you II
you will keep on with your collections
you will soon convert the world but
! say to you that If they haven't got
sanctiflcation they viii be likely to be-
tray trust; they cannot go In street
car without flirting. but if they have
got the Holy Ghost they will be all
right. We have the keys to the King
dom of Heaven" (HallelujahD
When the evangelist began to talk
about heaven there was great excite
ment. Said Mr.. Harvey: Bless God
! am going to city where the streets
are paved with gold. You women
won't have to hold up your skirts on
account of filthy tobacco chewers,
every one there wears robes of spot
less white" (cries of glory to God.")
When MIR. Harvey got through the
altar service began. Three or four
of the men and women came to the
front of the stage and invited the peo-
pie to come up. Come on, come on"
they cried.
About dozen persons came to the
front and ltnelt down. and the evan
selists crowded about them and urged
them 10 become sanctified 1t was
very noisy. The talking by the evan
selists TO the different individuals Gre
ated n hubbub. and with the shouting
and all it was without any dsrespect,
very much like the entrance to cir
Gus.
Black Susan paraded up and down.
singing and shouting and telling the
scores of people who crowded toward
the front to look on, that they must
keep them aisles open to let the sin
ners come in"
Whenever person professed sancu-
tication, the evangelist got that per-
son to stand up, hold up both hands
and declare 1t over and over, and
there were numerous "hallelujahs" 60
ing up all the time, Immense audi
ences crowd the theater night after
night but if one may Judge from ap-
pearances, nearly all OF them go to be
entertained, rather than sanctitied.
