their headlOng plunge to ruin.
Their capital was the holy city
Jerusalem. Their sanctuary was
the holy house, the Temple. Their
prophets were such holy men as
Je~miah and Ezekiel. Their rulers
were lineaI descendants of David
twenty of them in an unbroken line
from the great king. Their history
covered a period Of $50 years
more than a century longer than
the northern kingdom of Israel.
Eight or nine centuries previous
to the events of this lesson the
Israelites marched out of Egypt
away from captivity through the
desert to the Promised Land under
a good leader in obedience to Gods
commands in training for useful
ness. Years passed on the emigrants
became mighty nation under such
kings as Saul, David and Solomon.
Then came the great secession
under SolomOn's son Rehoboam-a
which split the kingdom
in twain-ten tribes organizing the
northern kingdom of Israel and
two tribes only remaining loyal to
Day1d's line-the southern kingdom
Of Judah.
The kingdom of Israel lasted but
215 years. 1t had nineteen kings
but nine different dynasties and at
length fell under the power of
ten tribes marching
away in exile-a Punishment from |
which they never returned. For
one hundred years more the king
dom of Judah maintained it's ma !
tiOnal life and then another sad /
procession Of weeping captives set
out on long march to their exile
IN Babylon-a captivity that con-
tinued for seventy years.
Every nation has it's mission. If
it is true to that mission, it goes on
and up to the leading position
the nations of the earth. If
it is untrue to its calling it is wiped
out and more worthy takes its
place.

THE Joker" EXPOSED
PLAN FAILS WORK IN CONGRESS TO LEAVE THE
RATE BILL MEAT INSPECTION BILL AND OTHER REFORM
MEASURES IN CONFERENCE AND TRUST WHITE r
TO TAKE STING THEM.

WASHINGTON, July 2.-The
closing hours of congress have dis
closed the plot by which the rich
and corrupt enemies of popular leg
islation have been hoping to defeat
the long campaign for rate regu-
lation, meat inspection, pure food
and other bills demanded by Presi-
dent Roosevelt.
The secrecy of the conference
committee and the little joker
were TO do part of the work; the
rest was to be done by having the
bills hung up in the conference
committees until next winter. BY
that time the trust senators and
leaders of the house figured that
the popular demand for these bills
would have died out.
This accounts for the fact that
practically all the important legis-
lation OF the present session was,
! in its final stages, thrown into con-
ference-and that the conterees
were entirely unable to agree.
1t accounts likewise for the Gag
erness of certain of the senate and
house leaders to secure the pas
sage of a joint resolution naming
specific date FRIDAY, June 29)
for adjournment. 1t explains the
willingness of the beef trust and
the railway trust to seemingly give
up.
Senator Tillman told part of the
rate bill story when he announced
that the Standard Oil had "got its
work in" with the conferees. But
with the Standard were the beef
trust, the fraudulent food trust. the
whisky trust. together with the op

TO
CRITICISM

POINT JUDITH, R. l., July g.
Colonel Joseph H. Willard of the
corps of engineers in charge in
charge of the construction of the
harbor of refuge at this point, has
made a preliminary reply to the
complaints addressed to the secre-
tary of war, based on the alleged
procrastination of that army en-
gineer in conducting that import
ant work
Colonel Willard says that the &C.
counts of the delay are greatly ex-
aggerated and that the criticism Is
unjust. The difficulty encountered
has been due to the refusal of a
prominent land owner to sell to
the government a strip of beach
to which title must be acquired
before the important part of the
project is begun.

DOGS NEARLY
KILLED HORSE

A bloody battle between two dogs
and a horse belonging to Professor
A. Bareuther of 1901 Pacific ave-
nue. occurred on the corner of Riv-
erside avenue and Lincoln street
last Thursday afternoon. Through
mere jealousy the two dogs, one a
bull and the other a Newfoundland
attacked the horse on which Mr..
Bareauther was riding. The hind
legs of the horse were torn by the
Newfoundland, while the bull dog
hung to the under lip of the ami
NAL. The dogs attacked the horse
because the owner had petted him.
Mr.. Bareuther had been out rid
ing and when coming up Lincoln
street petted the horse on the neck.
No sooner did the dogs see his
paying attention to the horse than
they attacked him. The large dog
grabbed the animal by the leg and
the bull dog jumped for his throat.
The bull dog caught a part of the
bride the first bound and the horse
reared, The dog let go and the
next time got the horse by the
under jaw Three times the horse
reared and at last fell to the ground
with the dog still holding on. A
crowd had gathered and pulled the
dogs off. The mouth and hind legs
OF the morse were badly torn.

drivers and proprietors, who saw
their revenue, obtained from fleec-
ing tourists, appreciably diminished
in future. So they struck in a
body. A crowd assembled at the
well known Jaffa Gate, enjoying
the spectacle of foreign visitors ar
irving by train from Jaffa, tramping
with their luggage through the
thick dust to their destinations
The strike, however, only lasted a
few days. The city authorities
gave way to the demands of the
strikers and the tariff was with
drawn.

ARMY
DIG CANAL

NEW YORK, July 2.-Consider.
able sensation has been caused by
a report from Colombia, published
in LA Somana," a Spanish weekly,
which states that the Bogota gov
eminent has in contemplation a
project for an inter-oceanic sea
level canal through Darien, a modi-
fication of the original plan of the
Atrato-TruandO route. According
to the private advices which bring
this information, Colombia has
been assured of the cooperation of
various sister republics Of Latin
America.
The plans for the canal do not
present any new engineering prob.
lem. More than half Of the total
cost, which, 1t is estimated, will be
about $70,000,0O0, would be for
labor. The laborers will be sol.

coal and steamship trusts.
The veteran and case-hardened
grafters argued that all the politi-
cal advantages could be secured
by passing the important bills
through the house and senate and
leaving them hung up in confer
ence. The members, they said,
could go before the country and
tell their constituents that they
voter and worked for the legisla-
ton. and that it was practically
passed" They could assure the
guileless voter that the "trifing
differences" would be adjusted
next winter-"to the satisfaction
of ALL"
Then the "little joker"-a word
or two-a clever proviso invented
by the clever and tricky lawyers
would take the sting out of the law
and all the work of this congress
would go for nothing.
1t was the exposure of this plot
that occasioned that secret confer
| ence at Speaker Cannon's house
the other night, and the delibera-
ton that la sted until 2 a. m. 1t is
unnecessary to say how it was ex'
| posed. 1t is sufficient that the
| president informed certain promi
nent Republicans that it never
would be carried out with his con.
sent, He knows the difference be-
, tween real and sham legislation.
In consequence of the presidents
stand, the traditional joint resolu
ton fixing a date of adjournment
was not brought in. The speaker
announced that certain confer
ences would have to finish theiI
labors before 1t appeared.

METHODS OF SAN
FRANCISCO HIGHWAYMEN

San Francisco, Cal, Dec. 1S.-Start-
ling testimony was given by Rudolph
Spreckles yesterday in the proceed
ings before Judge Dunno il which
Mayor Eugene Scnmitz and Abraham
Ruef are seeking to set aside five in
dictments found against them for
felony and extortion. Spreckles, who
had been called to the witness stand
by the defense, testified during his
examination that Ruef had called on
MIN at the time of a big municipal
bond issue and asked him to form
syndicate to take all the bonds thus
authorized. Spreckles was unable to
see what guarantee there was that
if the syndicate was formed it could
secure the bon<. as under the law
they must be put up at public auc-
tion and sold to the highest bidder
Ruef informed Spreckles, according
to his testimony, that this could be
easily arranged, for he would have
general strike called on all the street
railroads, and with San Francisco in
this conditions no outside capital
would bid, and the syndicate would
have a clear field. Spreckles also tes-
titled that Ruef called unon MIN and
demanded that he be retained as at
torney of the San Francisco Gas and
Electric Company.
