IN THE CHURCHES
.what 1 Think Of Ny Job.-

We don't know when In our expert
ence we have heard a sermon or
lecture that interested US as much as
Thomas, Jr. pastor of the First Pres
byterian curch last Sabbath
The first week in February being
the anniversary of his birth, his con-
version, his determination to be a min
lister and his receiving his first charge,
1t seemed very fitting time to tell
what he thought of the ministry as a
profession and of some of his own
experiences. He took no text, claim
ing that he did not like to be hamper
ed by rules or the accustomed form
and ceremony which ministers had to
go through usually in their sermons,
SO in this one he would follow out a
plan of his own and not conform to
any set rules. He discussed merely
the subject What Think of My Job"
and told of his experience as a min
lister.
Rev. Thomas personality is so
pleasing, his sense of humor so great
1t makes him very interesting
talker. In describing some of his
early experiences in the South where
he was born, raised and received his
earlier education, he very graphically
and amusingly told of his experience
with the negroes. His first sermon
was preached to a small negro gath
ering and his description turned the
whole congregation into laughter.
He then dwelt at considerable
length on his college and seminary
life, showed that a minister was only
a man after all, explained that he
wanted to stand better as man than
a minister. because II he had no stand
ing as man he was entitled to none
as minister.
The whole discourse was so unique,
so original and SO helpful to all,
especially the young. that we suggest
that the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation take it up and If they can Sc
cure Brother Thomas to give them
this same talk and can get the young
people OF this community all to at
tend they will accomplish more in
bringing tine profession of the min
istry in the right light before the
young people than hundred old fogy
sermons will ever do
EpwOrth League.
The February business meeting of
the Epworth League was held at the
home of Rev. DR.. Chaffee on Tuesday
evening of this week. The usual rou-
tine of reports and business was car
ried out, after which hollow wooden
eggs were distributed to the Leaguers
present with the request that they
put in penny day until Easter for
the building fund, after which there
will be an egg rolling or an egg cook
ing, or some sort of celebration In
honor Of the event.
Following the order of business Mrs.
Van Patten, the vice president, passed
around pieces of black cambrfc to-
gether with needles and thread and
every one outlined an elephant. These
made quite an attractive exhibit when
hung up around the rooms.
Miss FARES was>;voted to have out
lined the most satisfactory elephant.
Light refreshments, consisting of an
imal crackers and cocoa, were served
and Altogether thoroughly delightful
evening WAS passsd
The Organization Of the Mission
study class was also effected, Miss Ida
T. White being elected secretary. THIS
class will meet With Miss Emma Rip
ley on the nineteenth Of this monlhs
taking up "Daybreak in the Dark oon-
tinent."

TIFL1S, July 25.-In consequence of
revolutionary terrorism the adn1inis-
tration of the viceroy of the eau
casus has been completely paraIyzed
and officials are resigning in large
numbers.
Bandits roam at will even in the
daytime in Tiflis and its suburbs, ex-
acting tribute. One bandit has made
a systematic collection of $3.50 from
peasants.
In the government of Ti1is the coun-
try paths are in complete ruin, owing
to the suspension of industry and ag-
rtculture. News was received here to-
day of an outbreak between Arn1en-
ians and Tartars in Erivan and Shusa.

to subdue the Tartars, who killed
Armenians in the vicinity of the gov
ernor's residence and fired on the gov
ernor's quarters. The artillery is now

Special Cable to The Herald.
PARIS, July 25.-Just after being
honored by President Fallieres at Ely
see palace today, Maj. Dreyfus was
publicly insulted in Cercle Militaire, one
of the most exclusive clubs in Paris,
by commandant who slapped him in
the face.
This brought about an immediate
clash in the club and will tend to revive
disputes over the Dreyfus affair
throughout France.
1t was at a reception at Cercle Mill
taire to the Thirteenth regiment of
artillery that Maj. Dreyfus and Com
mandant large made their first ap-
pearance In military gathering since
the recent court verdict.
AS soon as Dreyfus came into the
salon the officer, whose name is not yet
known. ran up and slapped him in the
face.
The major did not reply. Instantly
there was almost a riot in the club
rooms by two groups being formed of
sympathizers and opponents of Dreyfus.
The incident was prearranged, and
the officer who attacked Dreyfus is
said to have declared he would refuse
to fight a duel in order to bring op-
probrium on Dreyfus and force him to
retire from active service.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, July 25.-The
Cooperative Livestock Commission
company, incorporated in Denver
whose officers, directors and stock
holders represent large part of the
sheep and cattle raising industry OF
the west, has started a contest against
the Kansas City livestock exchange
Hostilities will begin September 1.
simultaneously the sheep and cattle
raisers will boycott the exchanges OF
commission men in Chicago and St
Joseph. They propose to sell their
stock without paying what they con-
tend to be an excessive commission
charge. The sheep raisers are leading
the movement.
The Cooperative Livestock Commits
sion company has absorbed the busl-
ness Of two members of the Kansas
City exchange and will buy and sell
stock Independent of the livestock ex-
change
The movement is recognized as the
beginning of a bitter contest between
the producers, backed by the packers
against the commission men. The in
dependent commission company will
reduce it's commission on sheep So a
car and the same on hogs.
The charge on cattle will be the same
as that of the livestock exchange.
One of the potent causes for the or
ganiZation of the cooperative COM
pany was the action of the commits
sion men in advancing charges for the
sale of livestock.

reiterate the statement made in her
deposition, and deny that she made the
statements attributed to her by the
witnesses on the other side.

of Cananea, Mexico, arrived tonight
with an emphatic denial of rumors cur
rent along the border of another up
rising at Cananea. in which Col. w. c.
Greene was alleged to have been shot,
saying:
II wish to state through the Asso-

prospective trouble at Cananea are ab-
solutely false and circulated solely fol-
mercenary motives. The newspaper
correspondents sending out this trash
are availing themselves of rumors they
know to be without foundation in fact
for SO much per line.
Whether the stock market interests
are being served at the same time for
pay do not know, but the continued
assaults on Col Greene ! y those who
are endeavor;ng to fleece small holders
out of their stock gives it that ap-
pearance.
CAS- for Cananea, Sonora, the friends
of the thousands of Americans who are
there can rest assured that they are
absolutely safe. Not only is there no
feeling against Americans. but the
Mexican government has taken the
necessary steps in providing troops to
prevent the possibility at any future
time of disorders of even a slight char

NEW YORK, July 25.-The World
tomorrow will say,
Every dollar of Russell Sage's great
fortune is left to Mrs. Sage by will
made in 1901, except an insignificant
bequest made to Mrs. Fannie Chaplin
of Oneida, N Y, an only sister, who
died two years ago.
"The will is to be read at the home
of Mrs. Sage at 632 Fifth avenue to-
day and will be offered for probate
Immediately. 1t will undoubtedly be
contested by the Troy relatives of Mr..
Sage, who will charge that the 1901
will was made after a mental break
down on the part of Mr.. Sage, and
that Mrs. Sage exerted undue influ-
ence over him in the distribution of
his wealth.
Not one dollar of the fortune is left
to charity. The only contribution Mr..
Sage ever made during his lifetime
for this purpose was when, after a
years solicitation by Mrs. Sage, he
contributed $4,000 to build a wing of
the Presbyterian hospital, of which
Mrs. Sage is vice president.
"The fortune of Mr.. Sage. which was
popularity supposed to be $100,000,O00 and
even thought to be greater by the best
informed financial men of Wall street,
amounts to only about $50, 0,000."

BY Associated Press

By Associated Press
PITTSBURG, July 25.-At a sensa-
tional meeting of the stockholders of
the Westinghouse Electric and Manu-
facurins company today, George
Westinghouse, president of the COM
pany, was charged openly by stock
holders with launching private ven
lures with the company's funds.
The directors were charged with aid
ing him in this, but after bitter
squabble the slated board of directors
was elected and the official coterie won
out.
James Carrothers, one of the
minority stockholders. led the OPP
ponents of Mr.. Westinghouse. The in
cident grew out of the report of the
tention to the assets in which were
stocks and bonds of the Lackawanna
and Wyoming Valley Rapid Transit
company, $6300000
Mr.. Carrothers wanted to know how
much was stock and how much was
bonds. There was a hot discussion
and it developed that the capital stock
of the Lackawanna and Wyoming Val
ley Rapid transit was $3,0000O0 and
.
one was sure that these figures were
correct and there was more or less con-
fusion.
Carrothers Seeks information
Mr.. Carrothers said:
1--WE have $6,000,000 worth of bonds
and 100000 worth of stock. Who has
the remainder of the stock? This COM
pany puts up all the money that is
spent on the road, and only 100000
worth of stock. Why shouldn't this
company have all the stock if it pays
for the road?"
No one present was able to explain
the report in detail.
The adoption of the report was
moved, but John Gregg, one of the di-
rectors, said:
Before we close want to know from
whom the stock of. this rapid transit
company was purchased. 1 understand
that these stocks were purchased from
Mr.. Westinghouse; that this is a pri-
vate corporation and that Mr.. West
inghouse unloaded the stock on this
| company"
A voice was heard: "At twice Its
value"
| After several calls for vote the re-
port was adopted. The old board of di
rectors was reelected with the excep.
| ton of James Hazen Hyde who Is sue
| ceeded by T. w. Siemon, and Frank H
! Taylor, whose place is taken by w. d
Updegraff.
The meeting today was the first held
since July %, 1897, nine years ago
