Secretary Enters Denial.

New York, January 6.-Louis Marshall, secretary of the board of trustees of Temple Emanuel, this city, said today that no call had been extended by the temple to Dr. Wise of Portland, Ore, and that no such letter as that mentioned by Dr. Wise has been received. MT. Mar shall made the following statement:
 No such letter has been received by Temple Emanuel It would be most extra ordinary if such communication should come to it. since there is no occasion calling for 1t.
 pr Wise has recently preached from our pulpit by invitation, but it is equally true that for several years past 1t has been the policy of the board of trustees to invite rabbis from all parts of the country to occupy the pulpit. for the re- ligious instruction and spiritual elevation of the congregation. In every instance the invitation was one of courtesy and was accompanied by the payment of the hon orarium. It is therefore a matter of great surprise that Dr. Wise should have taken the liberty of making a statement Of the character attributd to him, as under the most favorable review he refers to a pri- vate and unofficial conversation tentative in character and essentially confidential in it's nature. It can be stated without qualification that nothing has ever oc- cured which warrants the sensational ut teranees which have been thus thrust on the public attention"

happy disposition and genial nature, he was attractive in whatever circle he moved. His death will be learned with sorrow by a wide circle of acquaintances in Montgomery and the surrounding ter ritory.

He was the son of John Powell and Matilda Morgan, and at the age of about years removed to Montgomery with his parents. In 1865 he married Miss Mollie G. Gilmer of Montgomery.

He re- mained with the Third Alabama regi- ment until he was appointed a lieutenant | by Col. Michael L. Woods. This regi- ment was serving In the west and Cap tain Powell joined in the command in I the neighborhood of Vicksburg Some time later in desperate struggle with the federal around Vicksburg this regi- ment was cut off from the main part of l the army and nearly every member Of l the regiment was taken prisoner. Cap tain Powell was among those prisoners sent to Johnsons Island. He remained there for eighteen months. until the close of the war
 l After peace had been declared Captain ] Powell returned to Montgomery and en- gagged in the manufacture of carriages and the live stock business For the past fifteen years he had been almost continually connected with the United States government, and, at his death he was in the service of the United States department of agriculture engag- ed in compiling cotton statistics

Mechanic Takes Whisky Treatment

Charles B. James, care James, Sanato-
 rum, Memphis, Tenn.
 1 Dear Sir and Friendly referring to your records you will see that l stated in my examination that l had been great sufferer from chronic indigestion and that had paid out hundTeds of dol lars for relief-in fact, l had lately paid one sanatorium fee of $l50, but failed to get permanent relief It was on ac- count of this diseases, dyspepsia or in digestion that 1 first began the use of alcoholic stimulants. l first sought re- lief, however, through bitters, tonlcs and ..cures for indigestion "catarrh,' etc. Finally whisky was recommended and it found me an easy victim Consequently 1t was not long before 1 became period ical drunkard, and as a result whenever my sindigestion" became severe or when ever l suffered from dyspepsia or ca tarrh.' I would become depressed and could not sleep or enjoy what l ate. would at such times drink to excess. and finally got to get
 ting on periodical sprees. When I went to you l had little hope of ever being relieved, and l was so Respondent and depressed that had it not been for the love of my wife and children l would not have visited yoh But after my talk with you new hope" was aroused with in me, and since l have completed my
 
 desire for whisky beer or other alco- hollc stimulants, but l am entirely free from indigestion" dyspepsia or 'ca- tarrh.
 1 am as you know. a fair mechanic. I have at times made large amounts on contracts, but like thousands of other good mechanics I squandered it all for whisky and through dissipation, When working for wages l have at times gone to the bar to take one drink and before leaving the bar l had spent all of my weeks earnings, and the barkeeper had another good bill against me: and my wife and children at home suffering for the necessities of life. Mechanics. as rule, are money-makers but unfortunate ly a great many of our best mechanics are drunkards. Consequently 1t is not an unusual thing for the wife to have to work for a living whilst if the husband had not been a drunkard he could have owned his own home, and his wife and children could have had the comforts of a home l never expect to touch another drink of any kind of stimulants, and I hope this testimonial will encourage some of my brother mechanics and brother Odd Fellows, K. P.'s and B. P. o. Els to do as l dd-take treatment and as result make home, wife and children happy. F. D. UNDERWOOD,

Charles B. James. care James sanato-
 rum, Memphis, Tenn:
 Dear Sir and Kind Friend Tt is with much gladness and thankfulness of my once sad heart that I write you telling you that it has now been more than one year since I was through your wonderful cure for drug addictions, saved from an otherwise amending bondage and to tell you that I would like to go out into the world and meet the unfortunate wo- men and men of our land who. through sickness and pain, have become addicted to the use of that pain-eliminating but soul-destroying drug-morphia; and tell them of Charles B. James, his sanatorium and his painless, but sure cure for drug addctions of all kinds, and take them by their cold and clammy hand, made so by that terrible drug, and lead them to the ''cure relief" that is to be had at your sanatorium. 1 know if could personally tell them of my perfect cure and restoration to health and happi- ness, and have them look me in the eye and see the natural brilliancy there, instead of the contracted pupil and see how healthy I look, they would believe all could tell them of the cures I saw accomplished at your sanatorium during my stay there. I would also love to tell them in my own way what you did Tor me and how I can now enjoy my meals my sleep, my family and my church, and that the whole world now looks cheerful to me. And by doing so I know l would bring happiness to those who are now suffering as I once suffered. l hope you will publish this letter, for it is my hearts desire to aid In the uplifting Of my fellow man. and l will take pleasure in answering letters from persons who really want relief Wishing you and all connected with your good and glorious work a Happy Christmas and Prosperous New Year, I remain, your appreciative patient, MRS. MARY T. PARRISH.

PULPIT MUzzLED
 SAYS RABBI WISE
Influence of Church and Syna-
 gogue Waning
READS AN OPEN LETTER
Says He Was Offered Call to Temple Emanuel in New York on condi- ton That Pulpit Should
 Be Controlled.

Portland, Ore, January G.-Dr. Stephens Wise. rabbi of Temple Beth Israel, Port land Ore. read an open letter to his con gregation last night, addressed to Tenn pie Emanuel of New York, the largest Jewish congregation in the United States on the freedom of the pulpit. His letter was. in part:
 When a majority of the trustees of Emanuel came to me for the purpose of ascertaining whether call to occupy its pulpit would be accepted, and if accepted, on what terms. I made but one stipua- tion; if I accept call to Emanuefs pull pit, I do so with the understanding that l am to be free and that my pulpit is not to be muzzled. My stipulation was met by the statement of the committee: :" The pulpit shall always be under the control of the board of trustees.
 pr. Wise claims that the whole posi- ton of the church is involved in this question, for the steadily waning influence of the church and synagogue is due, in no small part, to the widespread belief that the pulpit is not free and that 1t is subject to and under the control of those officers and members of the church or synagogue who for any reason are pow erful in it's councils.
 Cannot be Vital and Independent.
 How can a man be vital and ndepend- ent and helpful if he be tethered and muzzled?" asks Dr. Wise. "A free pulpit will sometimes stumble into error. A pulpit that Is not free can never power fully plead for truth and righteousness. Too great a dread there may be of seces- sion on the part of some members of the congregation, but, after all, difference and disquiet, even schism at the worst, are not so much to be feared as that at titude of the pulpit which never pro- vokes dissent because 1t is cautious rath- CT than courageous"
 Under the terms stipulated by the board of trustees, Dr. Wise continues, the minis ter may in time be called on to sign away his present independence and to mortgage his intellectual and moral lib- erty for the future, to subscribe to a statement of present and future convic- tions of the board of trustees-to blank page the contents of which are to be determined, not on the basis of his un- derstanding of and loyalty to the teach ings of his religion. but by the views of the board of trustees"
 It is stated that Dr. Wise. who Is to announce his plans to the congregation at the next Sabbath service, eontemplates going to New York in the near future in order to organize and lead an indepen- dent lewis religious movement.
