Significant Action.

The churches of tine land are q great
power. In the past shey have been
slow to act in matters touching tSe in
dustrial and commercial interests of the
country. Of late they have acted more
in line with advance ideas of national
welfare-we were inclined to say more
courageously. However the theory of
the clergy may be viewed, the action of
the New England ministers and the
talks of Revs. GLADDEN. and Bigelow
upon Rockefeller's proffered 100000
to home missions are interesting The
latter said in a recent speech:
It is a significant sign of the times
that a man so sober and even so con-
sentative in his thought and utterance
as DR.. Washington GLADDEN. should be
outspoken in his objection to Standard
oil money. He asserts that this money
is the product of "Sthe mogt relentless
fapacity known to modern commercial
history" and that the chUrah which ac-
cepts it invited 1.-THE contempt ,of mill
ions of honest men.
A few years ago, I attended a meet
ing ef clergymen where Henry D.
Lloyd's book, Wealth Versus Common
wealth, was reviewed and discussed.
The ministers, one and all, expressed
complete sympathy with Mr.. Lloyd's
Indictment of the Standard Oil company.
But they were almost as unanimous in
the opinion that a preacher ought not
to jeopardize the peace of his 'congre-
cation by treating such subjects in the
pulpit.
Now consider the memorial eff the
New England preachers in Directing to
taking this money on the ground that
the methods of the Standard Oil com
pany are morally iniauitous ana So
cially destructive, and in refusing to
be put 'Gn a relation implying hona: to-
ward the donor"
While this is gratifying as evidence
of the increasing interest that good
people are taking in social problems
and we do not reach the root of the
matter by pointing a finger of scorn at
particular individual. Primarily it is a
question of wise or unwise social ar
engagements. The remedy is to be
found in social readjustments, not in
personal denunciation.

The trade returns are increasingly

Kentisln wood and lea.


He forgets the fleet he builded and the
decks that once he trod,
That his graves afar from England and
his pail is alien sod,
That the incense-sticks are burning
And the praying-wheels a-turning
To the name of William Adams, Kent
ish sailorman and god.
So he drowses till the screaming of the
sirens once again
Calls him back to where beneath him,
like mailed barons of the main,
Ride the warships; while the rattle
Of Dali Nippon's seward battle
Rings and mingles throuth his dream
ing like distant songs refrain.
For when the great gray battleships
roll down upon the foe,
Or when Togo's lean torpedoboats
charge shoreward through the snow,
When giant shells are crashing
And the league-kFag searchlights
flashing,
Then Will Adams sees the triumph of
his toll of long ago.

Official retruns make the cotton crop

orders constantly coming forward, and
most plants are assured of activity for
many months, while some mills decline
contracts for shipments amy time before
1906. Mild weather improves the quail
ity of hides especially from the South
west, and the tone of the market is de-
cidedly firmer. New England footwear
factories are receiving fair amount
of new business from statesmen in the
West, and duplicate spring contracts
also arrive, calling for immediate de
livery. A better feeling is noted inthe
primary market for cotton goods.
More inquiries are received from
China, but there is little prospect that
desired deliveries can be made, as some
lines are under order up to next Feb
ruary. Wooden and worsted duplicated

built the first Japanese fleet. He was
treated with all honor, but never al
lowed to return to England. He was

HOT FIRE IN OAKLEY
FOUR RESIDENCES DESTROYED
 WITH LOSS OF s6,o0O.
Homes of Dr. Cutts and Messrs. Nich- ols, Adams and Holt on Cleve- land Avenue Were De-
 atrOyed.

Fire, which originated from falling sparks on the roof of the residence of Dr. W. P. Cutts. at 21 Cleveland Ave- nue, Oakley, at 2:20 o'clock yesterday afternoon, completely destroyed that home and swept with 1t three adtoin- ing houses which lay just east of the Cuts residence. entailing loss which 1t is thought will reach $6.0o0, and the majority of which was not insured.
 From the house where 1t originated the fire ieaped with the aid of brisk easterly wind to the home of Simon Nichols next door and hardly had the flames enveloped the roof of the Nich- ols house when the homes of w. R. Adams and Lafaette Holt burst into flames.
 The heat caused by the four build ings in full power of the flames was too intense to allow the hremen to reach the scene from one side and the rough condition of the roadway from the opposite direction considerably hindered the progress of the trucks when they had turned about and taken the alternate way. By the time the chemical engine got within striking distance of the fire little spurts of flame began to dart from the blistered parts of the home of B. c. Fike. across the street from the burning houses
 
 mediately bent their energies towards extinguishing this outbreak of the fire and soon had the home out of danger of destruction. By the joining of all the hose car ried by the Scott Street and Five Points hose carts. a line was estab- lished from the nearest plug at the corner of Perry ana Fielder Streets, but the fire had spent the better part of its energy by the time the firemen got their line of hose stretched from the distant water plug.
 Most of the household goods were saved from each of the burned homes. The houses occupied by W. R. Adams simon Nichols. Lafayette Holt and w. R. Adams were completely destroyed and the home of B. c. Fike was slight ly damaged.
 On the houses occupied by MT. Nich- ols and pr. Cuts, there was $500 in- surance each, but on the other two destroved houses, 1t Is not known whether insurance was carried.
