woman, but this year it is assuming

Do you wonder when General Rose
Grams received that letter he refrained
from executing Major Lyons Do you
wonder that Lincoln's policy Of love
was the chief means of uniting the
north and the south? Do you not also
realize that If you try the power Of
love and kindness you can change
many of your enemies into friends?
Conquer by kindness" was the policy
or the great president. CONQUER by
kindness" is the teaching of my text.
Are you and ready to choke back that
sharp word we are so willing TO hurl
at our enemies in an angry fit of tenn
per?
But not only state that an ungov-
ernable temper makes your enemies
more hateful and bitter than ever be-
lore, but that an ugly temper reacts
and strikes hardest against those whom
you ought TO love best ON earth, your
own friends and dear ones. And of all
and despicable actions I
think one OF the most cesplca BILE is for
men and women To go off in a rage or
MT or sulks merely because something
goes wrong in the house and thereby
to make wives OF husbands and chill
dren live In perfect pandemonIum of
rear. And when ! speak thus / am not
about curse which is to me
merely theoretical. In every church /

no REPLY 70 THE ADDRESS
Emperor Nicholas Extremely Delhi
crate About Answering Parliament.
A Gala Birthday Luncheon Mt Pal
see Delays Business of the Ma
tiOn-NO Action Before Monday.

st. Petersburg, May 1.-THE issue
Of the first encounter between the
monarch and the. representatives Of
the people hangs for the moment In
the balance. Though the representa-
tive chamber Of parliament and the
council of the empire adopted address
Is in reply to the speech from the
throne, no answer has been given to
sither address and none is expected
before Monday. President Mouromt-
Jeff, who had hoped to obtain an au-
dience of Emperor Nicholas Friday
for the presentation Of the address of
the lower house, received instead an
invitation to a gala birthday luncheon
at Peterhof Saturday, an official func-
ton to which no other high function
aries have been hidden.
There is no intimation on the court
side that this invitation is connected
with the request for an audience.
The parliamentary leaders on the
other hand consider the failure to in
clude the other deputies who were in
Itructed to accompany President Mou-
comtsefr renders 1t out of the ques-
ton for the president of the lower
house to discuss the address even in
formally. The following day is Sun
day and hence M. Mouromtseh is not
likely to be given an audience before
Monday.
The Associated Press was informed
Friday night that the imperial reply
which will be delivered through the
medium of a speech by Premier Co
remykin, probably at the first session
Of the house after President Mouromt-
5sR has been received at Peterhofr
will, as already predicted, be temper
ate and deliberate, seeking to avoid
occasion of rupture, but on the other
hand not concealing the emperor's
view that parliament in many respects
has attempted to infringe the tmpe-
rial prerogative. On these points the
response will be calm refusal. 9th
er suggestions will be accepted wholly
Or in part, while other parts the en-
peror will regard simply as declara-
tons of the policy of parliament which
DO not require imperial consideration
until presented in the regular course
Of legislation.

DISCOVER MORE REBATES,

Philadelphia, May 18.-That the
Pennsylvania railroad company gave
rebates as recently as 1903 was the
charge made Thursday by Frank b.
Wigton, head Of the Morrisdale Coal
company, before the interstate COM
merce commission. Mr.. Wigton's
statement caused something OF SEN
sation because of the fact that while
the commission was in session In
Baltimore Vice President Thayer, Of
the Pennsylvania railroad, appeared
before the body and stated that the
company had made no allowances or
concessions since 1899. Mr.. Wigton
gave q detailed statement Of the con-
ditions in the soft coal region and ac-
cused the Pennsylvania railroad COM
pany Of discrimination in the allot-
ment of coal cars. citing cases to sub
stantiatS his charges.
He was asked by counsel for the
commission II he had any knowledge
Of rebatins by the railroad company
He said In reply that since the re-
tiremsnt Of w. H. Joyce, general
tranic manager Of the Pennsylvania
railroad, there had been no rebating
so far as he knew. Within a few
months previous to the retirement
of NJ. Joyca. however, he said, he
had Dsaaivad rebates amounting from
$1,000 10 $4,000 on tidewater ship
Mr.. Joyce retired in June,
1903. N. Wlgton also named several
other companies which, he said, had
received rebates.
