PRAISE FOR TAFT AND ROOT.
DIR. Lyman Abbott Fnyors Free Com
petition In Trade.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Oct 90. =
Praise for Secretaries Taft and Root
as men who were doing Chrst's work
in the world formed a part of a sermon
by Rev. DR. Lyman Abbott of New
York before the Yale students at Bat
tell chapel
DR.. Abbott did not mention the name
of either, but referred to one who had
gone Ito Cuba and brought order out
of chaos" and to the other as one who
had "made journey through South
America harmonizing the north with
the south" He also referred to the
political campaign now on in New York
state. After defining the kingdom of
God as one in which each man shall do
not as he pleases, but shall please to
do as he should, as one in which an.
tagonism aud jealousy shall have nc
part, he continued:
'At the present time there is a great
discussion in my state over the differ.
enees between the trust and the free
competition movement There is q
great desire to break down the com
binations. Both sides are wrong. The
evil is not in the combinations; it Is
not in the free competition.
1.-THE cause Of the difficulty is much
the same as in the old parable. Each
tree has too much to do for itself to be
ruler over the rest The lawyer an,
the merchant say they are too busy to
go into politics. but the bramble is not
too busy. Such men as Jones of Min
neapolis, Folk of Missouri, Solby of
New Jersey and Jerome Of New York
are saying to me that there is a way in
which this country can be ruled along
the lines of righteousness and peace.
when one of our great statesmen
went to Cuba and brought order out of
chaos; when one of our rich men left
the pursuit of fortune and went into
government work and made a journey
through the state of South America,
harmonizing the north with the south,
that was the work of Christ on earth"

the insurance companies have not
finished entirely paying their losses.
They have already paid out over two
hundred million dollars, number
of them paying five million dollars
or more each and one company went
into the hands of receiver and it
looks like some others will do the
same unless they nut MP additional
capital. And dozen or more have
nut up additional capital and conse-
auently some companies are in a
shakey condition and it behooves the
property owner TO be careful and see
that he is insured in company that

this il is we'll to know with whom
you are dealing and to only deal with

of all companies and know the good

watch worn by her son, Howard
Roush, who was killed in the great
Duauense wreck near Laurel Run on
the night of December %, 1903. The
broken witch. which had been taken
from the person of the dead man, had
been returned to his parents shortly

recently. when Mr.. Clifford Gibbs.

at the time Of the wreck. remembered
that a portion of watch case was In
the possession of Mr.. Patterson. and
informed NJ s Roush. She wrote
to NJ. Patterson. and the spaedy
return of the missing article resulted.
Mr. Patterson had made repeated
efforts to locate tie prouer person in

covering the case until Mr. Gibbs

turp
