Some of Rockefeller's Piety.
Dz1k..oo 49, o..

baltimore San.
The recent advance in the price of oil will,
it is stated, add about Sill 900, 600 year to the
income of John D. Rockefeller. In the early
part of this month, before the Standard Oil
Company had raised the price of its product,
Mr.. Rockefeller took one of his Cleveland
friends into his confidence and told him that
'the personal comfort religion has been to me
has been such that sometimes l feel that |
would like to go upon the lecture platform and
tell the people about it." Now that the Oil
Kings piety has been rewarded by an SILL
600, 900 increase in his income, it will probably
be impossible for him to keep off the lecture
platform. 1t may not be impious to suggest,
however, that the personal comforts which
his religion brings to him tend to shake the
faith of great many people whose piety is
not fortified by Standard Oil stocks.
IT is said that certain things affecting the
householder will be higher this year. On ac-
count of labor troubles in the Philadelphia
mills carpets will be marked up several cents.
Canned goods will be higher-salmon running
100000 cases short in the packing. Then
vegetables, such as tomatoes asparagus, string
beans, corn and peas, were affected by frosts,
floods and unreasonable weather. 1t is thought
apples, big as the crop is, will be somewhat
dear on account of the heavy demand in Eng
land for this noble fruit Oranges will be
cheap. The harvest and growth of the yellow
fruit has been success. But for all this every
body will be happy, as there is abundance of
the substantials for the table and wardrobe.
THE DIRECTORS of the Philadelphia, Balti-
more and Washington Railroad Company have
authorized $40 900, 900 mortgage, and decided
to issue per cent. 4Oyear gold bonds for half
that amount. The remaining 100000 will
be held in reserve in the company's treasury
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company owns
the capital stock of this company and will
guarantee the principal and intesest of the new
bonds The proceeds will be used for extern
sive improvements along the line between
Philadelphia and Washington.

HE KNEW HIMSELF.

An exchange says that a reformed
gamblers friend once took the gam
bier to church. The preacher devoted
q large part of his discourse to reflec-
tions upon lives such as the gambler
had led. The friend apologized to the
ex-gambler for taking him to a place
where he would hear himself abused.
II didn't know that was the way
this preacher was going to talk" he
said, ''or I wouldn't have asked you
to come"
"Ohl don't worry about that" was
the reply. "There never was ser
mon worth a cuss that didn't hit me
somewhere.

Our Uncle Samuel is not in the
best Of temper just now. He bears
the reputation Of being very patient
and cOofblooded individuals: but he
knows when he is getting the worst
uf it, and he Is not disposed to stand
everything. The Russian bear hasn't
been treating the old man right, and
there are symptoms showing that,
under certain contingencies, he will
pull off bis coat. In the first place,
he doesn't like the way the Jews are
being murdered in the Muscovite
empire. He is simply the legendary
representative of American national
ism, and what the people want he is
bound to give to them IL he can. Not
withstanding the fact that there are
isolated cases of lynching in this
country, we cannot be charged with
numbering hundreds of men, women
and children on account OF their re-
ligion. Not only the Hebrews Of the
United States, but the great public
as we'll, hear with horror the t1dings
of the wholesale asSassinations across
the water. They have, in the press
and In innumerable public meetings,
expressed that horror and asked the
president to protest to the Cars
