ARNOLD MAY YET
 BE ABLE TO PAY
DEFUNcT TURF INVESTMENT co. WILL PROBABLY PAY CERTAIN PER CENT OF CLAIMS ALLOWED BY COURT.

Several claims against D. J. Arnold & Co.,. of turf investment fame have been allowed recently in the United States dis tict court of St. Louis, and 1t Is said that the bankrupt concern is to pay a certain per cent of the claims allowed by the court.
 The following from the St. Louis Globe Den corat will be of interest to the vic- t11s os the investment company in Bir- n4neham:
 "A decision was handed down yestef- day by Judge Adams in the United States district court in the case of A. E. Will Hams against E. J. Arnold x Co. of turf investment fame. Williams presented a claim of $520o against the concern, which was admitted. Afterward the Gottschalll Printing company proved @ claim for printing and material furnished and ask ed that 1t be given preference, holding that the other claims were incurred by people knowing that they were investing in q gambling concern. The motion was allowed by the referee in bankruptcy to the exclusion of other claims.
 Judge Adams dsapproved of the action of the referee and ordered that 1t be set aside, and to allow the claim of the petitioners as made. He held the assertion that the depositors who invested funds with the bankrupt firm and that the firm itself were engaged in gambling WAS taking too superficial a view; that the company depended largely upon the de- posits of new investors to pay the week. ly profits; that the public was assured the profits were shared with the depositor: that the scheme was we'll devised to i'm. pose upon the credulous; that the con- cern informed it's patrons that it was not "get rich quick" "pay dividends out of receipts" or bust up'' concern: {: that 1t developed a large business, the re- eeipts amounting to s3sO0O per day at times, and that the total liabilities amounted to about $3OO0, 600.
 Many of the soicalled depositors. there fore, he maintained made their invest ments under the impression that the bankrupt concern was not doing a gam bling business and that the Gotschalk Printing company must stand in the shoes of the bankrupts They can rise no higher ''

McALL A GREAT ORATOR. J. c. Orr Says He is the Greatest of All Temperance Lecturers.

To the Editor of The Age.Herald:
 Announcement was made in The Age Herald of Sundays issue that Sol P. Me. Call of New Orleans would deliver a temperance lecture in Eagle hall at 1 D. m. By chance I also secured a cir cular of comments from the press and clergymen concerning Mir McCalrs now famous lecture, "A Drunkard's Fate" that was simply astounding in words of praise. The Rev. T. W. Darey, pastor If the First Methodist church of Fitzgerald. Ga. after hearing Mir. Mccall lecture. said: Henry Grady could not have done better" Now, I never heard the great Grady. but l have heard Luther Benson, a man that crowded the old O'Brlen opera house; 1 have heard Bob Taylor, and I have now heard Sol P. Mccall and I say without any undue nattery that he is the most eloquent. convincing, force ful orator ever listened to. If the peo- pie of Birmingham only knew what a remarkable speaker and eloquent orator Mir. Mccall was there would not be q house in this city half large Enough to hold the audience that would assemble to hear him. Every man and woman tha. was present that heard him will vouch for this bold statement that make when I say. 'T believe 1t is the greatest speech that ever fell from the lips of an Ameri- God that every man, woman and child in Birmingham could hear him.

One of the white boys who Judge Fea- gin placed on probation some time ago and who was seemingly succeeding nice ly, has gone to the bad and skipped out of the city with about s200 worth of goods belonging to his employer.
 Several weeks ago four boys were arr rested on a charge of runnig away from home. Three of them were from Troy Alabama, and Judge Feagin sent them there. The fourth Morris Fitchelburg begged not to be sent back to his broth CTS in Mobile, as they had not treated him right. Judge Feagin was undecided what to do with him, until M. Stadleman, proprietor of the Southern Hotel, took the boy to work with him.
 Mir. Stadleman found that the boy was an expert skirt maker, and so he start ed the boy in business with capital of sS0O For about month everything went smoothly, but Friday night the boy skip ped town by the light of the moon, carry ing with him cashmere skirt valued at $35, a red silk skirt valued at $3o thirty plain skirts and a number of other things.
 When the boy was given home and employment here he was very happy to all appearances and promised to do well. He had built up a nice trade and was doing excellent work. Judge Feagin was very much pleased that he had given the boy an opportunity to make something or himself instead of sending him to jail. The police have been notified to look out f1r. i'm

the hest and all embracing reason was ex- pressed by St. Paul in concluding Cor. xiv, i. e. that all things be done decent ly and according to order.' This chapter is a favorite objection to the church s use of an unknown tonge, but he said those who use it thus utterly miss It's ap- plication.
 "St. Paul" said the preacher, ''refers here not at all to the liturgical tongue then and now used in the church at Corinth-%the ancient Greek-but to the os- tentatous display of the miraculous gift of tongues then possessed by the apostles and some of the faithful. TO show off their skill they were in the habit of giving long prayers in tongues not un- derstood by the people and causing con- fusion and disedifcation.
 "The church uses Latin because 1t is her ancient language. When the apostles started out to convert all nations, Rome ruled the world and the church adopted the prevailing language. This tongue is an historic witness to the origin of the faith in western christendom.
 Changing Tongues.
 "The Catholic church embraces all na- tions. tribes and tongues These tongues are living. are constantly changing as is the English Compare modern English with that of Chauncer. Were the litur- gical form of universal church cast in these ever-changing tongues no end of confusion and dispute would result. The Latin and other liturgieal tongues of the east are dead-are fixed. Forms couched in them are crystalized forever. They are the same, yesterday, today and forever, a desideration to be appreciated.
 "A universal church should have uni- versal language. Business men trading with all parts of the world can appreciate this. Medical men, for the greater good of mankind realize it's need. 'Volupuk' was an effort in this direction. A diplo- mat who can't talk French is an anomaly "a menace. Wherever the mass is said in Latin, and that is practically all over the world. the Catholic feels at home. Catholic bishops in every part of the world can communicate intelligently with the Holy See, can assemble In council and discuss with east questions of doc Urine and discipline. Therefore the Cath ollie church, by using q dead language in her liturgy does not compromise herself, but enhance her reputation for sagacous management"

'Nor is the church without precedent" the priest said.

The Hindoos will allow no one but the Brahmin priest to read their Veda."
 Having shown why the use of an un- known tongue should not initiate against devotion in the Catholic, the preacher said that the best argument that 1t did not was the devout and edifying demeanor of Catholics themselves at service, fact that non-Catholic brethren often refrred to.
 In explaining why the church used the Latin tongue Father Kerrigan said that
