THE RooKErELLER GIFT.

"What Would the True Christian Do
with the Rockefeller Gifl?' was the
theme of the sermon delivered at Pitts
burg, Pa, last night by Rev. 5. Ed
ward Young, of the Second Presbyterian
Church in that city, the congregation in
which there are probably more million
aires than any two in the city. He
chose for bis 'ext st. Luke, xix, SO,

anything from any man by false accusa-
ton restore him fourfold; and Jesus
said: This day has salvation come to
this house. 4" In part. he said:

one man than in the person of the head

A discussion among the Baptists OF
the same nature as that among the Con-
gregationalists over the Rockefeller giit
has been inaugurated in Boston over the
acceptance by the officials Of the Baptist
Missionary Union of check for SlO0,-
900 from John ID. Rockefeller for the
purpose of the union. For 25 years Mr..
Rockefeller has been in the custom OF
paying up whatever deficit the union may
have had for the year, and this has
usually been in the vicinity of$,0O, 600.
Thus far only one Baptist clergIman-i
Rev Herbert :. Johnson, pastor OF the
Warren Avenue Church, Of BOSTON
las protested against the gift. On the
other hand, Rev. p. S. Henson, Of IRE
mont Temple, a large Baptist organiza-
ton. thinks it should be accepted with
out question. Mr.. Johnson said ycster-
day that he would not take dollar from
Rockefeller unless it vas offered as con-
science money. lie characterized the
Rockefeller wealth as a menace TO the
country, and asserted his belief that
":he Baptist denomination are the worst
sinners of the two" in accepting it;
Mr.. johnson is one Of the best-knOwn
clergyman in Boston, and it is believed
that the controversy will be as far-reach-
ing as that of the Congregationalists.
The Rockefeller check has been cashed
and is now in The unions treasury.

BLACK FLAGS IN MADRID.

Carrying black banners, 5000 work
men made demonstration in Madrid
yesterday afternoon near the scene OF
SATURDAYS reservoir disaster. The
police, on seizing the flags, were stoned
by the crowd aud several on both sides
were severely injured
Crowds of workmen and women, carry
ing black flags, forced all the theatres
TO close Saturday night.
During the day students and workmen
paraded the streets collecting money for
the families of victims of the disaster.
The public is con ributing freely.
The Governor of Madrid has prohibited
a great popular demonstration OF mourn
ing which the workmen wish to organize,
but he received the delegates OF the
wOrkmen's associations, whom he IN
formed that a street procession would
be permitted under certain restrictions.
1t seems that under the foundations
of the collapsed reservoir were water
pipes used to supply the palace and old
Madrid. 1t is stated that this was cause
of the subsistence, and MT the surface Of
the ground, which, when tested, sank
only about thrd of an inch.
The vault was built of cement, with
iron girders, as we're also the supporting
.oIu,nns. The first fall caused all the
pillars to bend and the end Of the iron
work to stretch, resulting in a general
and uniform collapse. These explana-
tions, however, cannot be considered as
final.
Madrid newspapers publish assertions
that the disaster had been foreseeD by
engineers as we'll as by workmen. 1t is
now recalled that the bad condition of
the soil on which the reservoir was con
structed caused keen opposition and
numerous criticisms when the scheme
was being discussed in the Corte'.
Workmen who have been questioned
say that they were compelled 10 build
too rapidly with materials 50 defective
that disaster was bound 70 happen.
Many heartrendiDg incidents and pain
ful scenes are reported. Ten Of those
who were rescued alive have goae mad.
A large crowd stood around the scene
throughout last night, watching the at
tsmpts at rescue in the light of huge
electric lamps.

Wit of Great Preacher.

or all the brilliant preachers ~of
modern times no Il shone more re.
splendently in conversation than the
eloquent Baptist minister, Robert
Hall. For all whining pietists, for all
o%racular utterers OF commonplace, all
anglers for praise, in the pulpit or
elsewhere, the great preacher had an
ineffable contempt. One day a sickly,
qnerulous old man belonging to his
congregation met him in the street
and said: "Ah, Mr.. Hall, you have
never-been to see me, Sir Twelve
I've been very i'll; I've been-at
deaths door, Mr.. Hail." why didn't
You step in?" was the quick response.
When asked for advice by a young
man who desired to enter the minis
try, and who gave as a reason that he
wished not to bury his talents in a
napkin, Hall replied: 'Then put them
in a pocket handkerchief, sir; that
will be large enough"

Disposal Of Corn Stalks.

A discussion recently arose among
the officers and statesmen OF the David
Bradley Mfg. Co., as regards the dis
position of corn stalks after the re-
moval of the corn and fodder-some
being under the impression that a ma
jority OF the farmers burn their stalks,
while others claimed they We're plow-
ed under. 1t was finally decided that
an inquiry be sent to the Agricultural
Department of the Illinois University
at Urbana, Ill. We give below the
substance of the reply to the inquiry,
which will be of great interest to our
readers, especially those interested in.
farming:
David Bradley Mfg. Co., Bradley, ILL.,.
Gentlemen-Your letter of June
18th regarding burning of corn stalks
was referred to me. A reply has been
delayed because of my absence from
the university. I would say that as
a general rule it is better to plow corn
stalks under than to burn them. A
ton OF corn stalks contains about 16
pounds of nitrogen, which is lost in
burning, and, of course, as the corn
decays in the ground they form a
large mount Of humus, which is al
ready becoming more or less deficient
In most Illinois land. There are times
however, when it is probably better
to sacrifice this nitrogen and humus
and burn the stalks. Thus, il one
has a heavy growth Of stalks on his
land which must be plowed late in
the spring in a dry season, it would
undoubtedly be better to burn the
stalks, because this amount of decay
ed coarse organic matter would inter
fere with the capillary action and
cause the land to dry out, and prob
ably produce greater injury to the
crop that season thar would ever be
ceunterbalanced Ey subsequent bene-
fits due to the turning under of the
stalks. If, however, the stalks can
be plowed under late in the fall or
early spring or at any time in the
spring, it the season is fairly wet, and
the stalks are well broken or cut into
small pieces so that the ground settles
down and capillary action is not in
terfered with, then. l would certainly
prefer blowing the stalks under. In
general farm practice when the humus
content Of soils becomes somewhat
reduced, the practice of burning
stalks grows less and finally practic.
ally ceases Cyril G. Hopkins,
Professor of Soil Fertility.
