 No sand whatever was used on the trolley tracks on Clifton avenue on the day of the accident. he said, until late in the afternoon. Salt was used, how ever, to melt the snow. Gaanevesa said he went to work at 5 o'clock on the morning of the wreck and tried to shovel out the sand from the boxes to hand bucket, but that it was as "hard as a rock"

EMPEROR,s RELIGIOUS VIEWs
Discmssed by Dr. Harnack, Foremost Liberal Theoiogfan of Germany.

DAsGNsaeM by DFs hhFhAcKS FoFe"oss
 Liberal Theorogtnn of Germany.
 Berlin, Feb. 25.--Dr. Harnack, the foremost liberal theologian of Germany, discussing Emperor Williams recent letter to Admiral Holman, councillor of the German Oriental society, which was an outcome of his majesty's at- tending Professor Delitzschs lecture on the Babylonian origin of the Bible, says:
 Tt is a personal confession of the emperor's faith, and nis in no way. a command. Therefore silence cannot be observed *'t~ .r
 While agreeing with the emperor that religion needs reforms, Dr. Harnack diff fers with his majesty's views in regard to the revelation of the divinity of Christ and contends that protestantism recognizes the revelation in persons alone. Revelation in things is no long, CT admitted. The thinking mind can- not possibly content itself with two kinds of revelation running parallel with each other as the emperor as- sumes. Religious conception of his- tory must be uniform and any judg- ment confusing Christ with other mas- ters must be rejected. Yet the correct ness of the formula divinity of Christ must be questioned. Christ never used it. nor did the primitive church without qualifications, speaking always of divinity and humanity. Di- vine humanity is therefore preferable formula. Christ never concealed that He was Lord and Savior. but he never revealed the secret of His relations to His Father. Even the formula divine humanity in Christ is therefore open to objection, as 1t encroaehes upon a sec- ret which cannot be penetrated.
 Dr. Harnack predicts that the time is coming when all Protestant denomina- tions and the Catholics also will join in a simple recognition of Christ as Lord, and in a determination to do His will.

COAL INVESTIGATION,
Conspiracy shovvn so Exist Among New

Conspiracy She ewn fO Exist A ns omg New
 Bedford Oealers.
 New Bedford, Mass, Feb. 25.-The joint special committee of the legisla- ture on the supply and distribution of coal came to New Bedford to-day and held a hearing in City hall. The most interesting feature was the develop ment of the fact that the local coal club, which includes all the retail deal CTS, had for some years posted $100 each to be forfeited by any member who broke his agreement to keep up prices. In January, after it had appeared that the dealers of Chicago, who had enter ed into a similar arrangement, were to he indicted for conspiracy the forfeit money was returned to each member, Not a scrap of written evidence of the existence of the coal club can be found. Albert w. Holmes, the secretary and treasurer of the club, told the commit tee that he kept the records of the meetings on scraps of papers, and these scraps had either been lost or destroy ed. All the retail dealers declared that in spite of the fact that during the fall they sold hard coal for $14 ton, which cost them $6. there had been no profit in the seasons business.
 Patrick Corners. one of the dealers upon whom a summons was served, failed to appear and it was announced that he must take the consequences. John Duff, another dealer had arrang- ed to go to Havana before the summons was served upon him, but he had ob- tained an excuse from Senator Apsey by promising to furnish written an- swers to the committees questions

THE WAY OF THE WORLD.

The way of the world is 4 wonderful
way
Wonderful in its madness!
IT'S a mad endeavor from day to day
That ends each night in sadness.
For men are greedy to compass wealth
With schemes unjust and vicious,
Or seek for pleasures, by sun or stealth
And call their sins delicious!
The way of the world is sorrowful
way
SorrowfuI in its grieving!
IT'S a grievous fear that friends betray'
And none is worth believing
For men will sell their honor for gain,
And women their virtue give
For ripples of JOY on seas of pain
That food the years they live.
The way of the world is a sickening
way
Sickening in its meanness!
TITS a mean existence with husks AWAY
To pail the soul with leanness.
Far better the ways of Christ. with
peace,
With rags, and a crust and cold!
a little from God, with heart content,
Is better than boards of gold!
