A Famous Hymn andlts Author

John Keble, who wrote tho
hymn sun Of My Soul, was re
msrkablc for the beauty of his
character as well as for his learn.
ing. In the May Delineator Al.
Ian Sutherland tells something
of the gifted author himself and
of the origin and romance Of his
grand hymn. He says:
1T is through his famous col.
lection of poems, The Christian
Year, that Keble is best known
and will be longest remembered.
The poems were written between
1919 and 1927. The early at
tempts were intended for his own
church people to use on red-letter
days in the church calendar, but
the scope of the work was after
ward enlarged SO as to complete
the entire calendar thus making
it a poetical summary of the
Christian year, and a companion
to the Book of Common Prayer.
II was in the second poem
printed in The Christian Year
that Keble's famous evening
hymn, Sun of My Soul first APP
peared-a hymn which voices the
sentiments and the prayers Of
countless Christian hearts as the
twilight fades into night and we
yield ourselves TO sleep and to
helplessness.
"a visitor once asked Alfred
Tennyson what his thoughts
were of Christ. They were walk
ing in a garden, and. for a mo-
ment, the great poet was silent,
then, bending over some beauti-
full flowers, he said: What the
sun is to these flowers Jesus
Christ is to my soul. He is the
sun of my soul Consciously or
unconsciously, he was express
ing the same thought in the same
language used by good John
Keble years before when he gave
to the world his great heart hymn
Sun of My Soul.

providing for the appointment Of
a bipartisan police board by the
mayor, has been vetoed by Gov.
Folk, who thus retains in his own
hands the appointment of a po.
lice board exclusively democra.

partisan motives and character.

own personal political interests,
that it would be time wasted to
follow his petifogging reversal of
all that he has said and promised

MANIPULATING SUGAR.

. To one who understands the sugar
situation the following paragraph from
the Searchlight, New York publica.
ton, carries a very clear example Of
how the sugar market is handled:
What was probably tn. largest con.
signment of raw sugar ever received
at the port Of New York at one time
was in the harbor in the last week Of
March. A feet of eighteen tramp
steamers, averaging about three thou
sand tons of sugar each, arrived with
In week from Java, Porto Rico. Cuba,
the West Indies and Brazil. Thirteen
steamers were discharging cargo and
five we're out in the stream waiting
for unoccupied piers. The cargo of
the eighteen steamers was about $4,000
tons. which exceeds by $4,000 tons the
weekly discharge Of sugar in this har.
Dor in the sugar season."
In enough instances to make 1t a
general rule the factors who are buy.
ing the sugar own and control the
ships that carry the sugar. In an
equal number Of instances they have
interests in the banks that are carry.
ing the raw sugar producers. They
also exercise control in the banks from
which the spectators secure their
funds.
Thus It is not beyond the range Of
human probabilities that those who
are In search Of raw sugars at low
figure drew their various purse and op
Grating strings with such precision OF
purpose and successful detail that q
record consignment of raw sugars
should arrive about the time the banks
began to call on the spectators tc
liquidate loans.
The present price of raw sugar is as
clear a case OF manipulation in the
interests Of the refiners as anything
that was ever offered in the sugar
world. The statistical situation has
not changed in the slightest. 1t has
been temporarily possible, however, fol
the refinery operators to manipulate
10 their advantage and certainly fol
the time being the raw sugar producer
pays the fiddler.
The only satisfactory part Of II Il
that the refiners can't forever beat ou,
the statistical conditions, though they
may be able to get good amount OF
raw sugars at half a cent per pound
lower than would be possible II the
market were allowed to develop and
the cargoes arrive naturally.

THEATRICAL PROFITS.

New York, April 26.-Robert Walker.
book president and confidential secret.
airy for Al Hayman, testified to-day
that the net profits Of the theatrical
syndicate for the season of 1901.02
were s227,676, and that Klaw & Err
langer's share Of this amount was
$127,5O0.
The evidence was given in The suit
brought by David Belasco against
Klaw & Erlanger, in which Belast 0
alleged that his actual pan timer In the
management of David Warfsld in
The Auctioneer" was the firm Of
Klaw & Granger. Lawyer Inter
meyer, counsel for Belasco, said that
the 1927 500 profits received by Klaw &
Erlanger were not from theaters
owned by the syndicate but from the
shows controlled by Klaw & Erlanger
and outside OF the agreement.
From the book president and from
AL Hayman, counsel for Belasco en-
deavored to secure the contracts of
the theatrical syndicate with the diff
ferent theaters in which THE Auc.
tioneer" was played, but both declared
they did not have them. Counsel for
Klaw & Erlanger refused to produce
them in response to Untermeyer's de.
mand. Justice Fitzgerald reserved
his decision.
