ROCKEFELLER A CHANGED MAN.

The Hon. John D. Rockefeller has
come home a changed and chastened
man. He longs for association with
his fellows. The time will come" he
announces from the prov of the ship.
when all of us in this country will
be better acquainted with one another"
A beautiful sentiment and one that the
people will echo. The time must come
when we shall know more about Mr..
Rockefeller. Despite all that has been
written about him by the Tarbells and
the tarheels, the oleaginous of Chicago
University and the vinegary of the
GLADDEN. school, we know very little
about how he got 1t, how much 1t is
and what he is going to do with 1t.
The impossible barrier to a complete
understanding heretofore has been that
John would not take US into his conf
dence. When we sent reporters to him,
says the Minneapolis Journal, he gave
them texts of scripture which they
could not understand and sent them
away When we sent lawyers to him
he sent back bigger lawyers to us and
we got nowhere When we sent sher-
ifs they could not find him at all. He
was in Pocantico when they were in
Wall street and when they reached
Pocantico he had just arrived at Lake
wood by the midnight limited. 1t was
pitiful, these two great forces of civil
lzatlon, Rockefeller and the sheriff.

Mahara's Ministries.

When will the minstrel shows grow
old? Judging by its present popularity
its freshness will be perennial After
16 years of experience in the minstrel
business Mahara Brothers this year
have to offer perhaps the most COM
plete combination of experienced in
genuity and knowledge of theatrical
effects in the way Of minstrelsy that
was ever put on the road before. IN
like other minstrel organizations the
Maharas seem to have struck a happy
thought in putting forth a perform
ance that properly could be termed
rag time operetta and this of course
includes all the later innovations and
specialtieS of the east. Mahara's IA
nous challenge band and orchestra
will give a street parade Saturday and

FAME FROM WRESTLING.

All Washington Trying to Initiate
Congressman FulkersOn's Trills.
The last hour of the first session of
the Fifty-ninth congress was enlivened
by songs and whistling, the whistling
being a feature contributed by Repre-
sentative F. B. Fulkerson of the
Fourth Missouri district, says a Wash
ingtor correspondent of the New York
Sun.
Mr. Fulkerson whistled to the amuse-
ment of both his colleagues and the
galleries. There was peculiar trill
to his warbling notes, and the acoustic
properties of the hall Of the house Of
representatives aided in impreSsing up
on the audience the talent of the con-
gressional whistler and the happy Sc
lection of his airs.
Even Uncle Joe Cannon was affected
by the reverberating echoes and re-
echoes of the Fulkerson trill. Since
then everybody from the small boy to
the lingering society belle in Washing
ton has been after that trill, and the
spell has even extended to Mr.. Fulker
SOu . COlICuE uCS, AL u ICluolhAuS AhOAu
Der was caught the other day in
Washington hotel lobby practicing the
Fulkerson mouth quicker.
There Is an interesting unpublished
story of the discovery of Mr.. Fulker-
sons whistling talent.
Last spring, not long after Senator
Warner came on to Washington, 1t
was observed by some one of the Mis-
souri, colony IN Washington that there
were so many new members, and Re
publicans at that, that there should be
a special meeting Of all MiSSOurians
at the national capital. In due time
Carroll hall was secured for the Occa
sion, and one Saturday night all the
Missourians in Washington were on
hand to meet one another and become
better acquainted.
The programme was arranged so that
each one of the new Republican mem
bers from the state should be called on
for an impromptu talk. Finally it came
Fulkerson's turn to do something. So
completely had the federal pie ques-
ton and the greatness of old Missouri!
been gone over by the previous speak
ers that some one suggested that II
nothing else could be said Fulkerson
should just whistle. not dreaming that
the request was made of one of the
most expert whistlers in the country.
Mr.. Fulkerson complied and enter
tanned the Missourians in fine style.
That was the way FulkersoR's MARBLE
was discovered, at least to Missourians
IN Washington.

ment which indicates that the
ranks of the labor unions IN
this CITY are composed, in pair
at least. of men who not only
have respect for themselves and their
worthy organizations, but have due
regard for the opinions of their neigh
bOrs.
There are hundreds of respectable
citizens in the city who have drink
ables in their homes yet who would
never consent to participate In
meeting in a church edifice which had
been dedicated to divine service but
later made a place where a key OF beer
is used to attract attendance with the
offer of free drinks. 1t is not through
the narrow view that any of us are
our neighbours keeper. 1t Is that
something is due to public opinion
more due to the sacred honor, the good
reputation of those bodies of working
men who are striving for better con-
ditions and better citizenship-workin
for the good of the whole.
If reports be true, that mass meet
ing last Sunday, during which reso-
lutions praising Meyer, Haywood and
Pettibone and condemning the COVER
nOrs of Idaho and Colorado were
passed. consisted of thrilling speech
and a more thrilling keg of beer. Pos
sibly the fact that there were two kegs
preached, had as much to do with
the passage of the resolutions as did
the speechmaking.
There should be no hesitation on the
part of the trades council to vote
against the beer kegs entrance to
originally designed to elevate
and improve the labOring man. Mass
meetings, with socialistic predomin-
ance, are not entirely safe when I'M
der the spur of liquid enthusiasm.

THE SILENCE OF THE COUNTRY.

Abiding to the approaching cam
paign, Speaker Cannon recently said:
After all, the people are not going
to listen much to what the speakers
say next fall they will be too busy to
listen Answering this, the Boston
Herald says: eff popular government
be not measurably a failure then the
people should never be too busy to con-
slider the character, qualifications and
opinions of the men selected to repre-
sent them in congress-
Both are partially correct. The peo-
pie will be too busy this fall to listen
to men who merely want to perpetuate
themselves in office and who have
nothing to say except to point with
pride to their own party record and
view with alarm the prospect of the
other fellows breaking in. The Her
aid is right in assuming that they
ought not to be too busy to consider
the character, qualifications and opin-
ions of the congressman. Nor will
they be. The qualifications will be
canvassed more carefully than ever
before.
Can any one suppose that the coun-
try which has followed with such avid
ity every move of the president for the
publication of the public service and
the rendering of works worthy of the
party and who have followed with such
lively interest all the undertaking In
the insurance companies have gone to
sleep and cannot be awakened? 1t is
highly improbable. The silence of the
country today is not an indication of
langour. 1t is rather the silence OF
the lion which waits to spring. The
politicians would do we'll not to get
jumped on, too.

SERMON BETWEEN INNINGS.

Beloit Cwis.) Pastor Addressed Spec
tatOrs at n Sunday Ball Game.
The novelty of a religious address
between innings at a Sunday baseball
game was given to big Beloit (Wis.)
crowd the other day. when the Rev.
Joseph Garden, rector of st. Paul's
Episcopal church, one of the fashion
able congregations of Beloit, preached
en- at the request of the management
of the City league, says a Beloit dis
patch.
Two games were scheduled, and
when the first was over DR.. Garden
was introduced and spoke for seven
teen minutes, using the Fourth Com
mandment for his text, Remember
the Sabbath day, to keep it holy"
The fact that it had been advertised
that he would speak drew numerous
prominent citizens to attend who are
not frequenters of sunday games.
Mr.. Garden presented the rights of
all men to seek recreation on Sunday
according to the dictates of their own
conscience and said as there was
state law against playing ball on Sum
day every person participating was a
law breaker Turning to Mayor Cum
bingham, he said:
IF l were mayor of Beloit or the
head official of the county games
would be stopped until the laws were
changed, and 1 wouldn't let any one
buy liquor on Sunday either"
After discussing public morals Mr..
Garden said poor men should be care
full to keep the law, as their violations
made it easier for the wealthy classes
to violate the law and do greater dam
age than the poor men could do. Mr..
Garden took the meat trust to task.
saying its members were canning hOofs
and horns for wOrkingmen to eat.
The preacher said he considered the
matter of Sunday observance a thing
for individual discretion. Working
men had as much moral and religious
right to be present there as the wealthy
men had to seek pleasure and recrea-
ton in their automobiles.
Mr.. Garden spoke strongly against in
temperance, saying it was the worst
evil workingmen had to contend with.
He expressed sympathy with working
men In their daily struggles and urged
a high ideal in life. He thought they
should try to obtain law requiring
weekly pay days and cash payments
instead Of checks on banks to be cashed
In saloons or stores.
Mr.. Garden came to Beloit recently
from Winthrop. Mass. and has gained
popularity with the men. 1t is doubtful
If the Sunday sermon will be repeated,
however, for while the speaker received
the most respectful attention and was
heartily applauded many fans" are op-
posed to the idea.

Striking a big pile of ties in the
dark, Reinhold Harras, a well-known
meat man and stock buyer, was
thrown from his buggy at Sixth and
Main streets late last night and re
ceived what is feared will be fatal
injuries.
Mr.. Harras was removed to St

closed he had suffered a severe in
jury to his spine and bad bruies and
Commissions about the head and body
1t was feared for a while last night
that Mr.. Harras' back was broken
One of his lower limbs is paralyzed

Mr.. Harras was on his way into the
city from a trip into the country and
is said to have been driving very fast
In the dark he failed to see several
piles of ties alongside the road and
drove into them. The shock threw
him into the road with terrific force
Pedestrians hearing the commotion
went to Mr.. Harras' assistance and
finding him badly injured telephoned
for an ambulance. He was immedi
ately taken to the hospital and given
medical attention.
