SURRY THAT HE TOOK THE MONEY

Five minutes after / took th,
money | was sorry" says the mar
who stole a package of $100,OOt
intrusted to him by an express
company.
He also said: ~ am glad
have been caught. | want TO &c
back to Pittsburg, restore tn,
money, and throw myself on the
mercy Of the court"
Sorry and glad
Sorry he took the money and
glad he was arrested
Isn't that precisely different
from what such a man would ex-
pect? One would naturally sup
pose be would he glad when he got
the m oney and sorry when he got
caught.
That is the point of it all.
Sin is the most deceptive thing
in the world.
Five minutes before he took the
big bunch Of money he wanted it
badly. 1t would buy so much he
never expected to get. One hun
dred thousand dollars was enough
to make man tremendously happy
Five minutes after he took the
package he felt badly. He was
not happy. He was disappointed.
Before and after.
All! in that lies all the mystery
OF the problem of the knowledge of
good and evil.
Before the sin there are visions
Of good to come. The temptation
lures. Happiness is just here.
Thrust out your hand and take it.
Step over the line and you are in
8eulah land. That is the point
Of view when alluring devils
beckon.
But
When the thing is done-when
1t j. too late-the man looks out
from a different angle Of vision.
The devils jeer. The man hates
his crime. He hates the loot he
has taken. And worst Of all, he |
hates himself.
And thus it is only step from
al! allurement to remorse, from |
vision to disillusion, from heaven
to hell And men and women are
taking this step every day.

CELEBRATE Centennial
OF FIRST STEAMBOAT.
Plans for the Construction OF a
Great Arch in Battery
Park.
Especial to The Times Dispatch

Special to The Tlmes-D lspatch.)
NEW YORK, October Ito mark the
centennial Of tho maiden trip of Robert
Fulton's first steamboat In tho North
River In October, 1907. the Committee on
Plan and Scope Of the Fulton Centennial
Commission, recommended the construc-
tlon OF memorial arch In Battery Park
and the establishment of q 81 eat marine
museum on basis similar TO that on
which the Metropolitan Museum Of Art
and the American Museum of Natural
History were founded. II
AS tho time between now and the one
hundredth anniversary Of the Cemont's
initial trip in the Hudson River is too
short to build q museum on the plans
suggested, the committee thought It best
10 recommend simply that the corner
stone for the main building be laid on
that date and that the ceremony be
marked with marine parade, led by a
reproduction Of the original Cle-mont and
followed by old steamships and boats
OF earlier periods, either in original or
reproductions. bringing the line down to
the great battleships, merchantmen and
private yachts OF the present day.
Gustav II. Schwab suggested the CEN
struction OF the arch as q memorial to
Fulton's introduction of the use of steam
in propelllng ships. He suggested that
the arch be 80 constructed as to give the
appearance of a monumental water gate
in the southerplost part OF Battery Park
with steps leading down from the arch to
The waters edge. His idea was endorsed
by Rear-Admral Melville, retired, who
came from Philadelphia to attend the
meeting.
l.. r. Roman suggested the naval pa
rade, and his idea Includes represents
ton OF all Of the types Of steam craft
which have marked the various stages OF
advance in this direction. including tho
old Mississippi stern wheelers and a
model OF the Great Eastern. Il
Arthur English suggested the estab-
lishmcnt Of marine museum. which was
endorsed at once by various representa-
tves of maritime interests. 1t was de-
cided further to hold, In connection with
the celebration. q marine congress. Mem.
bers OF the committee believe the memo
rial arch can be built at comparative small
expense TO the city, as mucH OF the
money will be contributed by steamship
companies and business concerns.
