~ according to the law, as this
language cf the twelve apostles,
would prove. "Thou seest
brother (Paul) how many thou
sand of Jews there are which be.
lleve and they are all jealous Of
the law" These we're the ones
OF the Jews that were redeemed
BY the blood Of Christ, and
brought back into the fold.
Or we might say by the gos-
pei OF circumcision; committed to
Peter, those sinners, were
brought back to the highway,
and placed under the law. In
this way, they were saved, by
Christ; Christ being the way.
And then the Gentiles come in;
that is, after Christ died and
rose. Then the way was pre-
pared for them. This viii plain.

the difference that exists btween
the jew, and the Gentle. Not
as 1t was IN olden times. for the
middle wall was taken away,
which WIS tie curse Of the law;
but in the way of Worship tho
jews are held in blindness. and
under the law; the Gentiles have
been brought out into light, un.
der the law of faith. While the
Jews, are justified by tie law
through obedience; the C,entiles
could not be; it was not sufficient
TO bring into subsection their
nature. Life had to be granted,
and the law was too weak for
that. But in Christ this life. was
gwen to the Gentiles, and now
Ihere can be no more souls de,
stroyed with the abominable
thing because the Gentiles arc
| now a people, as well as the
Jews; and all the Jews were
brought back under the Mosaical
Law BY the gospel of circumcis,
ion.
| And to day with the Jews re.
main the law Of circumcision
which is the highway. And the
! gospel OF uncircumcision, was
the way, prepared through
Christ, for the Genties between
these two churches, there il
quHe u difference, in the way oI
worshiping God. The great
\ division, that was between them
disappeared in Christ, and only
left a difference between them il
the way OF worship: they arc
both Joumeying to heaven, til;
the Jews on the highway and th,
Gentles on the way. That is
those that are living in obedience
to God; according as He ha.
: directed them ia each Of thcs,
ways.
The reason of these two way
is, because, the nature the Gen

CUTOFF AT EMPORIA.

Between six and seven million dol
lars is being expended this year by
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe in
improvements to the road, particular
ly in the way of extending the double
track system. A good deal of this
money is being spent in Kansas, nota-
bly, some 100000 for new grain
elevator at Argentine and a great sum
for double tracking on the Emporia
cut off. This cut off runs to Holiday
and fifty-three miles of double track
are being laid on it. In fact the work
on the cut off is about completed as is
the work on the new elevator
Double tracks are also being laid
from Chicago to Joliet, a distance of
eleven and half miles; from Joliet to
LIE Moyne, a distance of twenty-eight
miles; from Herman to Streator a dis
tance OF five miles; from Streator to
Ancona, distance of six miles; from
Shopton to Nixon, Iowa, eight miles;
from Bucklin to Rothville in Missouri,
fourteen miles; from Harden to Cam
den, in Missouri, eleven and one-haIf
miles; from Florence to Braddock, in
Kansas, fifteen miles.
Work has been completed on the
double track between Jansen, Col,
and Lynn, New Mexico, a distance of
ten miles. This gives the road a COM
plete double track from Trinidad to
Ration. A lot of money is also being
expended by the road in putting in
new sidings, revising grades and i'm
proving the ballaSting of the roadbed.

CLEAR UP THE RECORDS.
One Instance Where All That Is Re
- quired Is Resolution.

At the meeting of the state school
fund commissioners, the following
resolution was adopted at the request
of State Treasurer T. T. Kelly:
Resolved, That the school fund
commission make upon it's record this
declaration: That at no time during
the life of the present school fund
commission has State Treasurer Kelly,
directly or indirectly, made an offer of
bonds to the school fund commission
and at no time has said commission
directly or indirectly, purchased any
bonds of said treasurer, T. T. Kelly, and
that any record or memorandum made
upon the records of this commission
indicating that said state treasurer
had sold bonds or that the commission
had bought bonds of him is erroneous
and without authority
This resolution was presented for
which show in some places that pay
mef1tS of money were made to Treas
urer Kelly for bonds. The stubs of
the warrants show that a number of
payments were made to Kelly and it
is claimed that the payments were
made in this way to facilitate the
transa action of business, and not be-
cause Kelly sold the bonds. 1t was in
connection with some of the setteI-
mentS of western Kansas bond issues
that the warrants were drawn to Kelly,
1t is said. Superintendent Dayhoff
says that the warrants should have
been drawn to the county or munich
pality issuing the bonds.
The special accountant investigat-
ing the state treasury has been work
ing on the books of the school fund
commissioners recently, and it is sup
posed that they made some inquiry
about the payments to Kelly, which led
to the presentation and passage of the
resolution

ABUSE FRANKING PRIVILEGE.
This Is Charge of Government
Against Railroads,

Charges have been made by the Uni
ted States postal authorities to the ef-
feet that the railroads are abusing the
ranking privilege which the govern
nent gives them in connection with the
transportation of their own mail. The
charge was made some time ago by
prominent government officials to sew
eral of the most influential railroad
presidents and the latter were asked to
stop the abuse. 1t was intimated that
unless something was done the govern
ment might have to take a hand in the
matter.
For some time no heed was paid to
the warning given, but recently the
railroad presidents referred the matter
to the American Railway association.
The association decided it was nothing
which they could handle or determine
and referred it to the Association of
Transportation and Car Accounting of
ficers. The latter organization, at its
recent annual meeting held in Toronto,
authorized the appointment of a COM
nittee to draft rules for the adoption
of all roads. The following committee
has been appointed: Guy Adams, super
intendent of mails for the Rock Island
system, chairman; ]. A. Osborn, general
baggage agent for the Illinois Central;
D. P. Davis, superintendent of mails
for the Big Four; H. p. Thrall, super
intendent of mails for the Hartman
lines, and T. j. Tomlinson chief clerk
to the general superintendent of trans
portation of the Pennsylvania.

DONOVAN IS SORE.
Old Ball Player Declares He Has Sc
cured Pittsburg Franchise.

New York, Sept. 2.-Pat Donovan,
erst-while manager of the Washington
baseball club and the St. Louis Cardi-
nails was on Broadway today for the
first time in eight months. He was on
his way from Pittsburg to visit his par
ents in Lawrence. Mass.
job though he commanded one of the
highest salaries ever paid to a player
less than three years ago, and is ap-
parently in as good shape as he was
then. He was let out of the manage
ment of the Washington club because
he drew too large a salary. His release
came at a time when it was hard for
him to find a satisfactory engagement,
and he has since been idle so far as base
ball is concerned.
Just now Donovan is figuring on put
ting an OUTLAW club in Pittsburg. He
formerly played in Pittsburg, and is
popular there. He has good backing
in his new venture and has already Sc
cured a park site. 1t is not Donovan's
intention to fight the Pittsburg Nation
al league team. The schedules would
keep him on the road when the Pitts
burgs were at home, and vice versa,
according to Donovan
Yes. I am considering the PROPOSE
ton" said Donovan to the writer. THE
two leagues evidently have the Indian
sign on me, and 1 don't see why
should favor them in anything. A Pitts
burg club in the Tristate league next
season 1 think will pay, for the salaries
will not be large, and 1 think the pat
ronage will be goOd.'

HARvARD's PROSPECTS.
Open the Football Season in Better
Shape Than Yale.

New York, Sept. 2.-Harvard will
start the season much better than
Yale, in fact better than any of her
rivals. Her greatest strength lies in
securing w. T. Reid as head coach.
Reid has made himself famous as
player as well as a coach, and with his
original and business-like methods
ought to be able to redeem the Grim
sons lost fortunes on the gridiron. Har-
wards losses have been exceptionally
small Hardly one of last years vet
Grams will be missing this fall In fact
the Crimson could take the men who
are left over from last year and make
two first-class elevens out of them. II
was the unanimous opinion of all who
saw the Crimson in action last fall that
it's defeats were due primarily to the
fact that the coaches did not make the
best of the material they had. This
charge will not be made this year If
Reid lives up to the reputation he form
ed for himself three years ago. In the
back field Harvard will have left over
from last year: Noyes and Starr. quar-
ter backs: Nichols. full back: Sperry,
Wendell and Hurley, half backs. In the
line there will be Parker center; ;Squires
and White, guards; Brill, tackle; Mont
gOmery, end.
The Harvard eleven will once more
be an exceptionally heavy one. From
this material Coach Reid can secure
team that will average close to 2OO
pounds, but Reid says that he will not
depend entirely upon beef, and during
the spring practice he paid primary at
tention TO speed and certainty in hand
ling the ball as the requisites for mem
bership on the team. Another thing
which is sure to be tremendous help
to Harvard is Reids insistence that
graduate coaches, especially the self
appointed ones, keep their distance.
