Rockefeller Puzzles Bible Glass.

"Is it ever right to do wrong 10 order
to accomplish right eudf" Joho D.
Rockefeller, IT,, propounded this knotty
question before his Bible class. In the
Fifth Avenue Baptist Church, New
York.. yesterday morning, but neithsr
he nor any member OF the class reached
any satisfactory conclusion IN the nat
ter, and the subject Was laid on the
table to be further discussed next Sun.
day.
The question grew out Of the lesson Of
the day, which told the story Of jacob.
who bought the birthright Of his brother
Esan tor mess of pottsge. Mr.. Bocke.
Teller said:

himself the pleasure of the time or the
satisfaction of the moment In exchange
for something that concerned bis entire

away our birtbright for the things OF this
INCIDENT, for peace Of conscience aud
the ability to look men in the eye with

very kesnly the application Of this les
son to my own life and hope that each
one of us will think carefully and prayer
fully of it with view 10 certifying our

This leads me to ask the question: 'Is

CALI MONEY got down TO 2 per GEN.
in the last hour of trading on the Ne"
York Stock Exchange Saturday. Inc
highest of the Jay was 10 per cent. ano
it ruled around 8 per cent. The CON-
oaratiye ease was due to the increased
supply of available funds in the banks
The general opinion is that the influx
of funds from the interior is under way,
though currency movements ia this d.
rection are expected to be gradual, ow-
ing to general business activity. AID
officer OF an important national bank
says that Chicago exchange on New
York is more in favor of shipments this
way than it has been for weeks. He
expresses a belief that the return OF
money to New York will be gradual,
and expects a minimum 6 per cent. call
money rate for several weeks. Other
authorities say that the indications point
TO the market entering this week on the
usual protracted season of low rates,
with 6 per cent. as the maximum.

fractured, was drawn out OF one OF the

i every reason to relieve that the man
WAS murdered, robbed and stripped o.

night with between 5000 and $500 in biz

The Annapolis Courts Martial.

Annapolis, Md, Jan. S.-When the
general court martial, which is trying
cases Of hazing among the midshipmen
at the Naval Academy convened this
morning, the case of B. Marzoni, of
Florida, charged with the hazing of
fourth claSsmen Roberts, Tye and Bry-
ant, was resumed.
This case was net completed on Sat-
urday, owing to the additional evidence
which the defense desired to present,
but q witness was absent.
While the prosecution has made out
q fairly clear case of the guilt Of the
accused, yet George Fl. Mann, of New
York, counsel for the defense, is making
bitter fight to disprove certain things
as coming within the limits of haziug.
Marzoni is alleged to have compelled
Roberts to the "16th," that Bryant was
made to stand on his head, and bring
breakfast to Nsrzoni in his room and
there are two other specifications that
Tye was made to bring food.
The accused, when on the stand Sat
urday. astly denied having executed
orders for Bryant to go on his head and
Roberts to do the ''sixteenth.". Neither
Bryant nor, Roberts was sure that Mar
zoni made them do these stunts, accord
ing to their testimony. With this .situs-
ten Of the case, therefore, it remains
with the court to define whether carry
ing food from the meas hall to an upper
ciassmen Is hazing.
1t is generally believed, however, that
Marzoni will be convicted and his dismis-
sal will follow.
The second trial of Midshipmsn De-
catur, who was acquitted of previous
charges, Of hazing, will, 1t Is expected,
begin later this afternoon. Decatur is
to be arraigned on two separate charges;
the frat "hazing." and encouraging or
countepauciug haging."

The Gazette.

The Alexandra Gazette, venerable
and choice exchange, has reached the
one hundred and sixth year of its exis-
ence, having seen the light Of three CEN
turtles. The Gazette chronicled the
death of General Washington on the
l4tb of December, 1899, being ootem-
pory with the Virginia Herald, OF this
place, which was started by Timothy
Green, and went TO its patrons at that
date drsped in deep mourning for The
great Washington. With most of us,
age brings on weak knees and general
decrepitude, but not so with the Gazette.
AS it enters its l07,h year it is bright
and newsy as ever. and was never weak
kueed on any subject it ever espoused.
We bow our kindest regards and wish
the Gazette prosperous year. Fred

Geneva, Switzerland, Jan. s.--Duriug
the past few days Germany has been
sugmenting the forces of troops along the
Swiss and French frontiers. The move
menl Of soldiers has been carried on at
night, 90 az not to attract attention.
The frontier garrisons are now practically
on war footing and the big guns arc
all mounted. There is no doubt that
this action has been taken 90 that Ger.

France and Prussia.

Public uncasiness In Paris over the
Moroccan conference has undergone @
distinct improvement. This is due main
ly to the confident attitude of the off,
Gals of the Foreign Office, who consider
the selection by the Italian government
Of the Marquis Visconti Venosta TO head
it, delegation as strengthening the posi-
ton of France.
It Is evident that the officials bold the
view that, If France can secure the sup
port of the gres. powers having tangibly
interests in the Mediterranean and in
Morocco, 1t will be difficult for Germany
to stand against the force of this moral
influence. Therefore, Italy's choice OF
the Marquis Visconti Venosta, who was
one of the earliest advocates of the
Franco Italian entente, strengthens the
governments expectation of the united
support of the leading Mediterranean
powers.
The French delegates will start with
out the slightest thought of yielding on
or compromising the essential principles
of Frances privileged position in Mo-
rocco, and therein lies the danger Of the
Franco-German outlook.
The Berlin correspondent OF the
Temps ssys that Germany, following the
action Of the United States and Great
Britain, is sending a squadron to Al
geciras. The paper says that France
thus far has not ordered squadron to
the neighborhood of the conference. 1t
adds the three British squadrons, COM
prising the Channel, Home and Cruiser
sauadrons, will rendezvous 10 Cadiz bay,
near Algeciras in the middle of Feb
ruary.

The remarkably mild weather OF the

aaye had their natural effect upon the
anthracite coal trade, which is said to
bs extremely dull and bordering on
s.agnstion, particularly from the opera
tofs' point of view. Reports from OFF,
cias of some OF the larger coal COM
panies show that dealers generally are
well supplied and that the large shipping
points in the east, west and northwest,
are generously stocked up, with no coal
movement in consequence. Still no
reduction in the price of coal is re-
ported.

There was but one voting place and
