SANTAFE ASKS $4,000.
Claims 1t Loaned Money to DevIin to
Pay Coal Miners.

The Santa Fe Railway company yes
terday afternoon argued before Ref
cree N H. LOOMS its claim of $4,000
against the Devlin estate. which
amount it claims to have paid Devlin
for salaries to miners of the Mt.
Carmel Coal company.
The railroad pointed out that last
May and June Devlin wanted the sum
of $4,000 to pay the Mt Carmel min
ers and that he borrowed the sum
from the Santa Fe company and said
he would repay it with coal.
This transaction occurred just be-
fore Mr.. Devlin's breakdown and
some question arose subsequently as
to whether the Santa Fe would have
to simply take its share pro rata as the
other creditors, or whether it will re-
ceive $4,000 worth of coal accord
ing to the original contract.
The railroad pointed out that d
strike would probably have been in
stituted by the miners had it not fur
nished the money with which to pay
them.
Referee LOOMS took the case under
advisement. Arguments on other
claims viii likely come up this week.

SHELDON TELLS OF HILLS.
Saw Him Dictate Sermon and Then
Deliver It Without Notes.

DR. Newell Dwight Hills, pastor of
Plymouth church, Brooklyn and one
of the foremost lecturers of the country,
will deliver a lecture Monday night at
the First Baptist church under the
auspices of the Pipe Organ association
this winters pipe organ course. and
should prove as attractive as any Of
them. No one should miss an oppor-
tunity to hear DR.. Hills speak, for his
reputation as a pulpit orator is second
to none in the country
Rev. Charles NJ. Sheldon of the Cen
trail Congrega tional church is we'll ac-
quainted with DR.. Hills. They met
some years ago in connection with some
Christian Endeavor work and have been
close friends ever since.
DIR Hills is one of the greatest of
American preachers" said DR.. Sheldon
yesterday. He is rich in scholarship;
has a rare literary style and is most
powerful and apt in Illustrations His
delivery is exceedingly pleasing and ne
has what might be called magnetic
presence. He is one of the most rapid
readers I have ever met and he gets all
there is out of book in the shortest
time imaginable Probably his most
wonderful gift is that Of memory. When
was visiting him in Brooklyn L saw
him dictate a sermon to a stenographeI
at one sitting. He paid no attention to
the manuscript again and he delivered
the sermon from the pulpit word fol
word as he had dictated it.
Henry Ward Beecher was possibly
the greatest minister that the world has
ever seen. To be able to follow him
and hold his church together is a great
achievement. That is what DR.. Hills
has done"
Some years ago DR.. Hills was called
from a Presbyterian church at Evans
ton. Ill, to take charge of an indie
pendent movement in Chicago which
was started by David Swing. There he
came into prominence as a preacher Of
wonderful ability and he was called &c
