LIKE UNTO AMERICAN BEAUTY ROSES
Rev. Hills Explains Why the People
Of This Country Have No Gratitude
to Return for Standard Oil Gifts to
the Cause of Missions.

New York, April Gin the course
OF his sermon in Plymouth Church,
Brooklyn, today, the Rev. Newell
Dwight Hills referred to the gift of
100000 made by John D. Rockefeller
to the American Board of Foreign Mis-.
sions and to Mr.. Rockefellers son.
He said in part:
The saddest words that have been
written in this generation were
spoken before Brown University by a
young man who is to inherit one Of
the greatest fortunes in this country
They were spoken in defense of the
trust. Listen to them:
The American Beauty rose can be
produced in all its splendor only by
sacrificing the early buds that grow
up around it. The rose has one thou.
sand buds, and in order 60 produce
the American Beauty the gardener
goes around it with knife and ships
800, in order that all the strength and
beauty may be forced into one bloom.
In his economic argument this young
man tells the working classes bru.
tally that 500 small business men
must be snuffed out of existence in
order that his American Beauty, the
trust. may be produced. Listen to
Christ: Let the strong bear the bur-
dens of the weak And again:
Give, and 1t shall be given unto
you 8
"These words in defense of the
trusts are the. most heart-breaking
things in literature to those who know
what is going to come in the future.
Can You wonder that. when man
gives gifts, we have no gratitude to
return?"

Last week in the Madison Circuit
Court the attorney of Ross Wither-
spoon, president of the Southern
Seating and Cabinet Company, of
Jackson, who was indicted by the
grand jury for forming a trust with
the American School Furniture
Company, of Chicago, moved that
the indictment be quashed. The
ground for the motion is that the
Tennessee act of 1897 is unconsti-
tutional, under both the State and
Federal constitutions. 1t seems
that one case has been tried in the
Circuit Court of Sumner county
against the Standard Oil Company.
The case went to the Supreme

RELIGION OF THE LAWYER.
Or. Washington GLADDEN. Excorlates
Certain Classes.

Columbus, O., April 9.-Dr. Wash.
ington GLADDEN., preaching today at
the First Congregational Church upon
Religion Of the Lawyer" said:
"The function of the lawyer is the
right administration of the law. II
this is the work of the lawyer, then
his business is essentially religious;
his function is sacred, as truly as that
Of the teacher or the clergyman.
There are a great many lawyers
whose revenues are large simply be-
cause they have earned the reputa-
ton of being able to obstruct and
paralyze and defeat the law of the
land-who are recognized by criminal
and predatory classes, rich and poor,
as their allies.
do not understand me to raise the
common question whether a criminal
may be defended by a lawyer. Ger
tainly he may, and must be defended.
that he defended the worst criminal.
''The law is good, even in the case
Of great criminals, if man use it
lawfully. e
ut is the perversion of law, the
abuse Of law in the sheltering Of male
factors from its penalties, by which
many lawyers enrich themselves.
"There is no class of men in our
society more hateful or more dan
gerous than unprincipled lawyers.
when we think Of the manner in
which some of them have sold their
legal talent to gigantic plunderers
how they have put their vast earn
ings to the service of men whom they
knew to be bent in preparation OF
colossal wrongs, it Is hard for any
honest man to stand in their presence
and hold back the flaming sword Of
| Indignation"

Calcutta, April Sit now appears
that 400 of the Seventh Gurkhas were
killed at the Dharmsala cantonment
by the collapse of stone barrack

In addition, 20 members of the First

villages were killed.
In addition to the Europeans already
reported killed at Dharmsala, seven
children of Europeans are said to have
persisted.
The Kangra valley is believed to
have been devastated, and it is report

AN INDIANA MARRIAGE LAW
Indiana Couples Who Marry In An
other State Will Not he Mar
ried When Return Home.

Laporte, Ind, April S.-Under the
new marriage law of this state, which
will become operative in few days,
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Joseph,
Mich, will cease to be favorite Meccas
for Indiana clipping couples. The new
law, which Gov. Hanley declares shall
be rigidly enforced, provides that when
marriage is contracted by Indiana
couples in another state, it will be de-
clared null and void upon the return
of the couple. A bona fide residence in
the state where the marriage is per-
formed must be proved to establish its
validity. 1t is believed the enforce
ment of this law will abate the elop-
ing evil and keep at home the hundreds
of couples who yearly leave the state
to get married. a

A Message From the Governor.

Gov. Cox sent a message to the
Legislature last week calling atten-
ton to the State coal mines and cit
ing the law requiring that convicts
be kept employed. He said it was
necessary that the State have ample
available coal lands. He called at
tention to the fact that the supply
of coal on State lands is becoming
exhausted, and said the point was
being neared when additional lands
would be absolutely necessary. IN
his opinion he thought lands should
be purchased before they further
advanced in value. He recommend
ed that steps be taken for securing
not exceeding $4,000 acres of addi-
tional coal lands, either by purchase
or condemnation.
