David's Charge to Solomon.

~Ct @OOo'
 David's Charge to solomon. David's substantial gain in goodness fl ! not more convinctngly evidenced than ir the patience with which he bore the de feat of his great building scheme. The erection of house for God was the com.
 manding ambition of his soul He desired it more than victory or territory or trib.
 ute. It was his polar star. Other things faded in comparison.
 He had the true theocratic idea. God was Israele real King. As such a pal ace should be erected for him. which in it's aptitude. magnificence, and costli- ness, should be as worthy as possible of it's Divine Occupant. He could i'll brook the situation longer, He himself
 was dwelling in a cedar palace, while
 Gods ark was still in a tent He would rise and build a house "so exceeding magnificent that it's fame and glory should spread to all countries" and the
 kings of earth would vie with each other in bringing presents to 1t. And all should
 be only for the glory of God.
 Yet when this noble ambition was de- feated. when this royal proposition was declined. David did not nope. He did not assume an injured air. His dignity
 was not insulted. It was a crushing, over whelming disappointment; but David played the man. This ardent, aggressive spirit, accustomed to bring things to pass in spite of almost insuperable difficult ties. calmly, patiently submitted. He cried "The will of the Lord be done!"
 He lost no interest in the undertaking because anothers name was going to be associated with it, and another was to have the honor of its consummation. He kept on planning. devising. scheming. He amassed an almost incredible store of gold and silver. They left off weighing the brass and iron. Acres of stone were quarried and hammered. Forests of ce- dar were felled. The preparation was abundant. A
 David's dying address to his son is touching. He refers pathetically to his ambition to build the temple himself, and to the reason why his service is declined His very victories are his Lefeat. The sanguinary campaigns, undertaken for God and Israel, unfit him for the cree ton. of a house which shall stand as the symbol, and be the habitation of peace. Then follows the narration of the cher ished promise which had helped relieve his disappointment. His son, whose very name signified peace. should not be di- verted from this undertaking by alarm of invasion or sedition. A peaceful char acter would be matched by a peaceful environment He shall be the child of a special providential care.
 Now follows David's stately charge and commission to Solomon. It Is a warrant interjected with prayer; Build the perg' 'The Lord give thee wisdom and

Valdez, Alaska, Nov. 28.-Judge Wieker- sham today gave his opinion confirming the title of the Alaska Copper Company to the undisputed ownership of the Bonanza mines near Valdez, the key to the copper railway situation. The decision undoubtedly means the building of the road, as the Havemeyers are the financial packers of the victorious companies. The Bonanza mines are valued at $17,00O. .0OO The question as to the title of the proper ties arose through a misunderstanding over grub stake rights.

Mysterious Murder of Youth in
 Chicago

 Chicago. Chicago Nov. 2S.-George Reynolds. the 16-year-old son of Captain Peter Rey, holds, of the St. Louis police department was murdered on a street near the busi. ness district of the city to-day. Follow. ing the sound of pistol shots, his body was picked up near the sidewalk in ar unconscious condition by the driver of a newspaper delivery wagon. Reyonlds re- vived and gasped: ''I have been shot in the mouth," he then lost consciousness again, and was carried to police sta tion where he died as he was being lifted into a hospital ambulance.
 Detectives are working on the theory that woman is concerned in the young mans dealh. It was said Reynolds was with young woman shortly before his death.
 Reynolds came to Chicago from St. Louis a few weeks ago to take a posi- tion at the Majesty Hotel. He resigned, however( Thanksgiving day. and the ho- tel management know nothing of him since that time.

Gods workmen die. Gods works go on. He always has success0rs ready. The mantle of the ascending prophet finds shoulders that it fits. The gospal-trumnet, dropped by one herald, is straIghtway pressed to the lips of another. It's joy-
 ous notes are upintermitted. There Is an
 unbroken apostolic succession. though no
 one communion has the monopoly of 1t.
 In this instance the son takes un the colossal enterprise just where the father
 laid 1t down.
 David had at last learned how to rear a son. He learned by costly failures. He was taught in the school of experience. where the tuition always comes high. The pitiful fates of Absalom and Adonijah caused him to concentrate his attention, his prayers, his eounsels. upon Solomon. He had his reward.
 The building of tho temple is taa achievement of a young man. Solomon was A years old when he began it. How much Of the worlds best work has been done by comparative youths! The fol- lowing figures indictae the age of the persons named at which they did that which afterwards made them immortal: Bryant, 19; Sumrneriield, g: Mozart, a5; Raphael, S7; Brunelleschi. 24; Ghiberti. 90; SSs kAduhlipdls oOs Ch4rteiua8nes 50: Charles XII. l9; Napoleon. 27: Pitt, 25: Alexander Hamilton 2s; Newton, s; Bacon. 20; Angelo. g; Luther. @; Calvin, Zl; Phil Sheridan, 90; Skoheleff, 2s; Charles George Gordon, 30.
 The temple was intended to be in itself striking object-lesson. It was a lasting memorial of how God loved peace, and deprecated unnecessary war. It stood in a city named Peace. It was built by king whose name signiied the same. The king who wished to build 1t was for pidden because he had been a man of war, though his wars were all justtnable. Thus, that lovely structure was a sort Of prophecy in stone of the mi'lennial age Of universal peace. when all weapons of war husbandrys

Clerical chairmen.

Archdeacon Wilberforce, who yes
terday presided over a drawing-room
at the speakers house in support Of
the National society for the proven
tion Of cruelty to children, revealed,
by way Of an Apologize preface to his
speech, a new reason for clerical
chairmen. A well known public
speaker, he said, told him on a similar
occasion that his tongue clave to the
roof Of his mouth, for he had been &C.
customed to cheers and Interruptions,
but a fashionable gathering looked
coldly on without demonstration OF
any Kind. and this vas most ~dfscourag.
ing. 1t was, therefore. according to
the archdeacon, a good thing to have
a parson in the chair at such a meet
ing since he was accustomed to ad-
dressing people who gave no sign Of
their approval. "Or disapproyal,'
said Mr.. Asquith. in an audible aside

THE q

Henry Clews, the New York master
OF finance writes e~ncouragingly Of the
present financial situation. He says:
Midsummer quiet has prevailed in
the stock market to an unusual de-
gree. This general apathy OF buyers
does not require much explanation.
Many are absent on vacations; some
are recnperating from recent losses; a
few have increased their holdings on
the decline, and all are waiting for
some fresh stimulus that will bring
an upward reaction. There Is some
reason for expecting that a partial re-
coyery at least Is near at hand. 1t has
been recognized for months past that
money and crops would be the domi-
mating factors In the markets Of 1903,
and In the crop situation there has
been a distinct improvement that DON
er o. later must exer an effect upon
Stock Exchange greatly.
The banking capital Of the United
States has not only been greatly en-
larged during the past year, but there
has been an important increase In
circulation, and the banks now have
their resources under better control
than for a long period, Perhaps the
greatest strengthening In the none
tary situation has come from the pay
ment Of heavy foreign loans, of which
no statistical record such as the week
~ bank statement Is available and
which consequently escapes attention
except by the initiated. Our borrow
ings abroad, however, are a great
many millions less than In 1901. and
our ability to promptly redeem those
obligations has vastly improved u
credit abroad.
When anxiety concerning the money
market is fully removed then the real
key to the situation will be the har-
vest. II this proves satisfactory we
are sure Of a partial recovery from re-
cent depression, II not another year OF
general prosperity. Just now all adj
Vices concerning the crops are of a
most encouraging nature. A large
wheat crop and good demand for the
same are practically assured. Corn
is reported progressing rapidly under
highly favorable growing weather.
Damages from food have been inf
Intestinal compared with the great adj
vantage OF abundant rains; while late
cotton and late corn are both rapidly
making up for lost time.
In the absence of unfavorable de-
yelopments prices should soon begin
to work gradually to a higher level;
there being a number OF good, we'll
seasoned railroad stocks that are an
investment purchase on all decided
declines. The Industrials, 1t need
hardly be said. are not In high favor;
the collapse Of many Of these and the
fact that they are more susceptible
to the effects OF trade reaction than
the railroads causing more or less dis
elimination In favor Of the latter.
