BAPTISTS DIDN'T

Talks on RockefeIIer's
Latest Gift.

Boston, April 17.-When 1t was an
nounced that John d. Rockefeller
had given 100000 to the Baptist
Missionary union and that 1t had
been gratefully accepted, the Rev
Daniel Evans, Of Cambridge, chair
man Of the committee OF Congrsga.
tionsl ministers who are protesting
against the retention OF the oil kings
gift Of 100000 to the American
board, said:
at is to be expected that the Bap.
tist board would accept Mr.. Rookie.
ieller's gift Of 100000 without
question. In view OF the fact that
Mr.. Rockefeller has for years been
giving large sums to every board
and organization in the Baptist
church, it would be difficult for the
church to decline to receive any more
gifts. But it ought to be said that
there lie great and growing army Of
young and spirited Baptists who op
pose accepting any more money from
Mr.. Rockefeller. They believe that
his money has silenced the church
against his methods"
In addition to the 100000 gift
the Baptist board announces tina,
Mr.. Rockefeller has contributed 9
considerable sum Of money to b.
used for the Quilting needs Of thu
union. Mr.. Rockefeller contributes
annually to the building needs OF th'
union, but it is announced that hi
gift this year exceeds those OF forme
years.

Bishop Prescribes Time For
Pastoral Calls.

New York, April 17.-"Women and
Their Relations to Minister'S" was
the subject Of Bishop Berry address
to young ministers at the Newark
Methodist Episcopal conference. He
prefaced his remarks by an apology
for talking plainly" before SO large
an audience. He spoke of the work
cut out for young ministers, and told
them OF the honor the church had
conferred upon them. Then bespoke
at length on the value Of pastoral
visits. 1t was here that his remarks
about women came in. He said the
best time for pastoral calls was in
the evening, when the wife OF the
house was surrounded by her hus
band and children.
The bishop declared that the after
noon call on women Of the congrega
tion, when they were likely to b.
alone, should be irownsd upon
He urged that the young minis
ters be particularly careful o
how they talked Of women, and to d.
80 sparingly.
Then he took up the subject Of tn
confidence placed in ministers. h
declared this confidence admitte'
them to the homes OF the best fam
lies In the land. Any one, he said
who VIOLATED this confidence or b.
trsyed II many way was not a min
lister, but q scoundrsl.

SPURIOUS Sill YER
DOLLARS ABROAD

The local police officials have been
informed that counterfeit silver dol
lars of the dates of 1880 and 1881
are being industriouslv circulated in
this part of the state. At this time
of the year the showers of the
Equeer" arc able to get in their
work without much fear of detee-
ton. The holiday rush makes mer-
chants less careful in examining the
money they receive and the number
of extra clerks that are employed
also makes it am easy matter to get
rid of this class of coin.
The counterfeit dollars that are
being circulated are almost perfect
reproduction. of the genuine and-It.
Is very easy matter to have one
passed. However the dates of these
coins are 1880 and 1881 and as the
merchants have been warned IN adj
yance it is probable that they VIII
not be yictimized to Il very large eX-
tent
The new clerks that are employ
ed at this season of the year are as
. ruIe unaccustomed to detecting
spurious money, and they are the
particular class of people sought by
those who have the bad money to cir
cuIate. A careful lookout will be-
kept and it is hoped that this may
lead 10 the detection of the gltty
parties if they persist in their work
IT will be remembered that two
wears ago just about this time OF the
year this section OF the country was
flooded with bogus So bills. 1t was
supposed at that time that most OF
tbis work was done by Il number OF
I+aliaps but no arrests were made.
,Tbe plan followed was to go INTO
\ store during its busiest time, make
. purchase of some toy or other ar
ticle costing only few cents ana
fender a SIS bill in payment. The
change was then profit and as huha-
reds of these bills were put out m
this part of the country the pro-
motors we're several hundred dollars
to the good.
Last year this same operation was
repeated all over the state with the
exception that the denomination OF
the bills used them wa< only 81 but
a large number were disposed Of.
This year the couaterfeiters are us
inc silver dollars and reports have
come in from all over the state IN
dicating that their operations nave
been extensive.
The fact that the coins passed
this season are such good limitations
If tI,e Genuine makes it doubly hard
to detect the guilty parties but mer-
chants and dealers are all on the
lookout for them. The federal au-
tborities will be notified and the
local police will do all in their
power to arrest the guilty ones
