THE cnAzt rJK WEALTH
President schurman Says Gold
 Is Glorifed, Not God.
ASSERTS WE DO HOT FEAR HE'LL

Head of Cornell University Claims
 Present Generation Fears Nothing
 but the Criminal Court, the Peni-
 tentiary and the ScaEold-Are We
 to Worship Nam mznOn, Like Barba.I
 rfans: He Asks.
 President Jacob Gould Schurman of Cornell university recently delivered a remarkable address at Syracuse on the universal craze for wealth before he union meeting of the Associated A l. demic Principals of the State of N>w. York, says the New York American. He said:
 Eff visitor from Mars alighted on, our continent he would hear the pulpits proclaim, Glorify God but he would find it the general practice to 'glorify' gold.'
 Are we then in this twentieth cen tury to revert to the barbarous worship of Mammon! Are Americans to re- nounce their Christian heritage, are they to repudiate the Hebrew law of righteousness, are they to disclaim the Hellenic call to reason and beauty, are they to spurn the dignity and glory of mankind in order to concentrate all. their energies on the qualification of acquisitiye instincts which we possess in common with the brutes and which when exclusively followed and satisfied only leave us more complacently and more hopelessly brutish?
 The universal passion for money and whatever money buys is an alarm ing phenomenon. It has been nourish- ed by the colossal material prosperity of the age. It has allied itself with the ambition of American youth to succeed in the world. We should naturally ex- pect that it would have met invincible opposition from religion. But religion. already weakened by the decline of dogmatic faith and falling back on in 0titutions and organiza tions, has itself been too often tempted to purchase the gifts of the Holy Ghost with mon- ey. Well, the craze may endure for a season, but disillusionment is certain.
 'The vice-the natural and almost in evitable vice-of a generation which makes money the chief end of life is dishonesty and graft The carxinal maxim of such an age is Put money in thy purse And whether the money be thine or thy neighbors is matter of little moment.
 Ut is generation which has no fear of God before it's eyes. It fears no hell. It fears nothing bHt the criminal court, the penitentiary and the scaf- fold. To escape these ugly avengers Of civil society is it's only categorical imperative, the only law with which it's Sinai thunders.
 ITO get there and not get caught is it's only golden rule. To get rich quick the financiers of this age will rob the widow and the orphan, grind the-faces of the poor, speculate in trust funds and purchase immunity by using other peoples money to bribe legislators, judges and magistrates.
 And then we hear the praises of the poor boys who have become million aires. O God! Send us men of honor and integrityr'

"There is no reason now why you
shouldn't marry the girl since you have
marred her beauty" said Magistrate
Tighe. "1 will suspend sentence in

Tanzello conferred with his lawyer
for some time, while Anna stood in
another part of the court room cast
ing anxious glances in his direction.
Once she went over to argue her own
case, and they talked II over for some
time. Tanzello appeared obdurate. and
he told her at first that he now want
ed to postpone the wedding.
Then I will go right up and tell the
judge to send you to Jail for as long
as he can," she told him.
The argument evidently had the de-
sired effect, for Tanzello signihed his
willingness to be married, and to-
gether they started for the Borough
hall, followed at little distance by an
officer of the court. who went along to
see that the decree of the court was
carried out as ordered. They found
Alderman John Diemer, and he agreed
after having the situation explained to
him, to officiate. On the trip back to
the court, Mrs. Tanzello appeared to
be in an ecstasy of joy. and her hus-
band seemed resigned to the fate of a
married man.

PASADENA, Aug. t7.-Passengers

When the car arrived at the tracks

SpeCldl 10 Il ne tteTHius
PASADENA, Aug. 1.-THE sensa-
tion sprung by the administration yes
terday in deciding TO go ahead with
the installation of a municipal electric
lighting plant without waiting for the
courts to decide on the legality Of the
recent bond issue was the principal
topic of conversation on the streets to-
day.
The general expression of opinion as
to the measure is in Its favor and COM
plimentary to the mayor and city at
torney who have worked out the
minutiae of the project until they are
willing to vouch for its legality and
practicability.
There are those, however, who charge
the mayor with bad faith and assert
that the fixing of the tax rate at so
high a figure in addition to the un-
expectedly high assessments will in
iure the city far more than 1t will do
good.
They say that when the people voted
bond Issue Of $125,000 1t was willingly
done with the expectation that the cost
of the plant was to be spread over a
long term of years and that the action
of the administration in saddling so
great burden at this time for the
purpose is unfair and ill considered.
Meanwhile Mayor Waterhouse and
his advisers are going rapidly ahead
with preparations for the early install
lation of the lighting plant.

Special to The Herald.


PASADENA, Aug 17.-According to
the verdict of the coroner's jury this
forenoon no blame attaches to any per-
son for the death Of John Clausen, the
young man who was asphyxiated on
Wednesday in the sawdust bin of the
Brand Manufacturing company,s plant.
Those who testified before the coro-
ner gave in substance the story Of the
accident as has been published.
Manager Brand testified that he had
never known of similar accident. !
An employe, Oscar Henry. told Of
having instructed young Clausen how
to clear away the sawdust and, accord
ing to his opinion had his instructions
been followed no such accident could
have occurred. 1t was this witness
who hurried to the top of the bin when
he heard the wagon take it's place be-
low. He could not see Clausen and
spent some little time looking for him
about the building before he was GER
tain that the young man had fallen
into the bin.
The father of young Clausen was
represented at the inquest by Attorney
B. w. Hahn. preparatory to beginning
suit for damages against the Brand
company If possible.
