William A. Morgan, formerly manager for the Standard Oil company at Sedalia, Mo-, testified on November g before Special Supreme Court Con- missioner Anthony at St Louis in the proceedings brought by Attorney Gen. eral Hadley to break up the alleged oil combination in that state. He swore that the Standard Oil company had, when he was in its employ, issued or ders to its agents to undersell and destroy competitors at all cost. He declared under oath that the company had supplied him with false guages to be used to show to customers of it's competitors that the barrels of oil fur nished by the latter were short in measure four to five gallons. He said: q was told by G. W. Mayer to use the gauges only when a competitor could not be driven out by other methods or where other arguments failed to induce the merchant to buy from us." Now, says an exchange, let the old Pecksnlff get up in Bible class meeting and tell how his success" in business is due to his own piety and to his association with other good men.

For the remainder of the year, says Banker Clews, we should advise much discrimination in the buying of secur- ities. Bargains are scarce and many securities are selling at top heavy prices. In the event of sharp reces- sions good stocks will no doubt be a profitable purchase and on a further rise we would advise taking profits on clique stocks. These may be carried to still higher figures, but they are not the sort of material which the in- vestor or specuIator can absorb just now except at great hazard. The neg lect of good railroad stocks In favor of cheap industrial is neither a satis- factory nor a safe tendency. Moreover we are exposed to pinch in money between now and January 1st. Were it not for high interest rates we would be exporting gold, though if rates .ad- vance sufficiently we are quite as like ly to import the precious metal. Another element of doubt is the presi- dents message and his attitude on the railroad question. Rumor is conflict ing on this point though Mr Roosevelt seems determined to carry through some form of rate regulation.

HEARD IN PASSING

It ought not to be so that couple or Yale thugs can enter a saloon in the heart of the city, knock down the bar tender and trample on him, and then break his leg without some police ac- tlVfry to bring such lawbreakers to the police lookup and thence to court for trial and punishment.-New Haven Union
 Hanging woman is unpleasant business. Women who keen their hands from murder are in no danger of being hanged. The depraved wo- man who deliberately and from vile motives murders her husband deserves to be hanged. In the case of the Rog- CTS woman up in Vermont, the crime was made more hideous and atrocious by the preliminaries and attendant circumstances. She should have been hanged long ago.-Hartford Courant.
 Weather colder; fires more ire quent. The best protection, caution. Look out for oyerheated stoves, rub bish near the furnace, the tips Of matches and the stubs of cigars. An sonia has long lines of wooden build ings that would burn like finder if given start, and the city has been fortunate in past years to escape a confagration. Caution and watchful- ness have done much, and we must still rely much upon them for safety. -Ansonia Sentinel.
 The boil is sign of hope, though an uncomfortable one. Yet we incline to hide this evidence of cleansing, per haps because it is also evidence of a former lack of cleansing. Every boil. our fathers used to tell us. is worth s10 to it's sorry possessor. The Burton boil the Mitchell boil. the life-insur- ance boil. all have their value as signs of promise to the body social, but they also suggest former laziness and cor ruption that fairly subject us to deep humiliation while vet conveying the assurance of healthier future condi- tions.-Nebraska Journal.

I. Hard on Women. Clubs.

CHICAGO, Dec. 4.-Olga Louise Ca diah. a young Ohio woman. has turned on her sex who belong to clubs and written dreadful things which she de fies clubwomen to deny. She pictures the clubwoman as destroyer of the home in the genuine meaning of the word-a woman who commits race sui eide and encourages other women to do likewise. The average number of children to married members of the General Federation of women's Clubs. she declares, is two. while the average number of children that blessed the mothers of these same women was three and a half.

Some time ago at New York the feeling in the financial district was one of soreness against the investiga- tion into the affairs of the insurance companies. At that time it was felt that financial institutions were being unjustIy attacked because of their connections with the insurance com panies, but how the feeling has changed! Where before there were expressions of condonement now there is but condemnation and bitterness. Tt is awful" says one writer, 'the revelations of mismanagement have far surpassed expectations. Corrup- ton of all kinds seems to have been rampant. It has gone further and shaken the confidence of the people. and, I believe is largely responsible for the restricted condition of the money market. Formerly the insur- ance company officials were ready 10 go into almost any kind of a syndicate at word from the proper parties and the millions of floating cash assets were available. Now every one is scared; old connections have been broken of and you can't pry a dollar from an insurance company without the best of collateral One after another the great insurance companies will be reorganized like the Equitable but it will be long before confidence Is restored and meanwhile the street is suffering. We are on the brink of a panic and any time money tightens suddenly and the strain Is too great and stocks begin to tumble in on us, od we will go.-

CURED June 30 and which We're attended
by the governor general the governor of
Harput and various other Moslem officials
and notabies. Twelve young men and
eleven young women were graduated. The
consul says
This institution. established by Ameri-
can generosity and controlled by an Ameri-
can board of trustees, is accomplishing
most valuable work here which thoroughly
commands the respect and esteem Of the
public and of the official world. A shop
for manual training, well equipped with
American machinery, has been established
during the past year. The theological
school CLOSED at the time of the massacre
In 1880 has been reorganized and is in q
fiourishing condition, quartered in new
and well-appointed building. The total at
tendance in the college and schools of all
grades attached to 1t at Harput was over
500 during the past year. Entrance admis-
large increase in the attendance of collie
giate students during the coming year. The
large group of buildings housing the va
rious departments of the college and its
preparatory departments forms the most
important feature of the topography of the
city of Harput. 1t is difficult to estimate
at its full value the far-reaching influence
of this well-organized institution In mold
ing the future of this entire region It is
certainly the most potent single factor at

PURCELLVILLE. Va. August 10. 1905.
The twenty-eighth annual temperance
and gospel meeting, or bush meeting. as
1t is termed, concluded it's daily sessions
yesterday. The meeting was the most sue
cessful in the history of the Prohibition
and Evangelical Association of Loudoun
county, while the attendance broke all
records.
During the hours of the morning session
a steady rain fell, but toward noon the
. clouds broke and throughout the balance OF
the day the sun shone brightly. with
cool breeze sweeping the grounds. The at
tendance was unusually large, despite the
inclemency OF the weather, and the last
days program was thoroughly enjoyed by
all present In the large auditorium
Devotional exercises opened the days
proceedings at $50, followed by musical So
los and orchestral music. Capt. Charles RI.
delivered an interesting lecture, concluding
by singing some Of his original songs which
have made him famous. not only in this
country. but abroad.
At the afternoon session the Purcellviie
band rendered several selections. Mr.. Noah
Webster Cooper of Nashville Tenn. fol-
lowed with his lecture, Back to Eden.
The program concluded at O'Clock with
Illustrated songs and moving picture ex-
hibition by Captain Stanley. The moving
pictures were accompanied by humorous
monologue by Captain Stanley, making "a
novel and unique entertainment.
The history of Loudoun county bush
meetings dates back TO 1S75-76, when many
OF the best citizens became greatly agitated
and alarmed over the conditions then pre-
vailing, direct result from the twenty
five or more legaiized liquor establishments
that were planted in almost every town IN
the county. and most rapidly despoiling the
home life of the citizenship. That agitation
was crystallized into positive and organized
opposition through the order of Good Tenn
plars. AT one time there were as many as
twenty-eight local lodges in the county.

tuted at Waterford by chosen representa-
tives from twenty-four lodges, represent

BATTLED WITH MANIAC.
Lighthouse Keepers Heroic Fight t.
Guard Light.

Stratford Shoals light and perhaps tho
big Long Island steamers which are guided
by 1t were saved last week through the
heroic struggle which the keeper of the
light, Merrill Hulse made for seven DAYS
against an insane man. marooned alone
with the Keeper and determined to extin-
guish the light The mailman was HuIse's
brother keeper, Julius Coster who went
crazy and tried to destroy his light In at
tempts TO get at the light Coster wanted
to Kill Hulse.
The story of the lone keepers defense OF
the Stratford Shoals was made public in
New York yesterday. when the head keep
er. Gilbert l.. Rutland who was ashore on
vacation last week. handed in his official
report OF last weeks happenings. The
lighthouse Is situated on Long Island, mid
way between Bridgeport and Port Jefferson
Hulse had no warning that he was liv-
Ing with an insane man until one day Cos
ter attacked him with a weapon made of
razor attached to the end of long pole
The keeper overpowered Coster. and re-
peatediy afterward during the first two
days of his companions madness was forced
to fight for his own life. Then Coster' S
mania took new turn, and one afternoon
Huse found him with a hammer and chisel
trying to cut away the wallis OF the light
house.
That night the light suddenly stopped
revolving, and Its keeper ran to the lamp
room, to find Coster with an ak about to
destroy the lenses. He fought his way into
that time on for fully five days, doing two
mems work. the brave keeper was forced
both to guard the lenses day and night and
to fight many times for his own life. and
finally, toward the end of this period, an
other burden was laid on him.
AS Coster's delirium wore off he became
DESTROYS of committing suicide, that
when removed from the lighthouse he bore
self-inf1icted gashes all over his neck which
only Huse's faithful watchfulness had kept
from becoming fatal He was taken to a
hospital

TRIBUTE TO CATHOLICS
SECRETARY TAFT GUEST OF THE
ARCHBISHOP OF MANILA.
Toasts for the Pope and the President
Roosevelt's Attitude Toward
Catholics Defined.

The Most Rev. jeremiah Harry, arch
bishop of Manila, gave banquet at Ma
Mia, P. l., last night in honor of Secretary
of War Taft and his party. One hundred
and fifty guests were present. The arch
bishop made speech in which he said
that the bishops and clergy appreciatively
welcomed the party. He added:
II speak for 6,OOOOOO Filipino Catholics.
This country is teeming with undeveloped
wealth. The climate is excellent. We feel
that the visit will become significant One
of the brightest chapters of history will be
that containing the story of American sue
cess in the Philippines. l love the people
and the country. I will live and die here.
seeing the glorious development under the
American administra tion.
The archbishop concluded by proposing a
toast to the pope.
Archbishop Agius. the apostolic delegate,
eulogized the pope as the type of Christian
charity. He said that Leo XIII was the
pope of the workmen, but Plus X was the
workmens pope.
Relationship With Roman Church.
Secretary Taft responded to the toast
He said the Spanish war had brought the
government of the United States into closer
relationship with the Roman church. The
delicate but necessary problem Of separat-
ing church and state was progressing splen-
didly. President Roosevelt was not Cath
Ollie, but he wished President to act to-
ward the Catholics as he would like a
Catholic President to act toward Protest
ants.
Bourke Cochran made an eloquent speech
in responding to a toast to the Philip
pines. He said that the United States was
Gods instrument in shaping the prosperity
of the Philippines. For the first time in
history a country had been annexed for its
own benefit instead of for the benefit of the
country annexing it. Continuing, he said:
I'VE are blazing unparalleled paths and
are subjected to the most rigid scrutiny l
feel the most profound confidence in the
success of American destiny in the Philip
pines
Il am opposed to annexation. Neverthe-
less, l shall earnestly study and assist in
the unseltish exploitation and development
of the islands under President Roosevelt
and Secretary Taft. We opponents accept
the verdict of public opinion. We are the
firmest supporters of the development OF
the islands for the islanders
Mr.. Cochran concluded with glowing
tribute to the Catholicism and Christianity
of the islands.
