MILLIONS FOR CHURCH WORK.
The Sanitary Department on 18th
mus Spends Three Dollars for
chaplalns 20 One for Health.

New York-For every dollar used
10 promote the health OF canal resi-
dents three dollars are expended to
otherwise benefit these people, ac-
cording to Colonel w. G. Gorgas, chief
sanitary officer OF the lsthmian Canal
commission. who addressed the New
York Academy OF Medicine Friday
night. This statement was made Ia
defense OF the annual appropriation
for the sanitary department OF the
canal zone.
The sanitary department at Pan
anna" said Colonel Gorgas. does the
quarantine work at both ends of the
isthmus, cares for the sick among the
laborers and the civil population,
cares for the insane, lepers and des-
titute, and pays the expenses Of the
church. The commission, in order to
encourage the development Of church
work on the isthmus. appointed some
dozen or more ~chaplains to the DIFF.
ferent hospitals. These chaplains
were encouraged to do work outside
Of the hospitals and have gradually
built congregations everywhere along
the zone.
"Of this 1000. 900 I am sure $780,.
600 would amply the expendi.
lures that bear directly upon the
health of the employees. The other
$500, 600 Of the appropriation Is just
as necessary. but not for sanitary
reasons"

The snread Of rsmneranoe.

To drinking, says Lecky, must be at
tributed most OF the crime and an
immense proportion of the misery OF
his nation; and what is true Of Eng
land is true Of the United States. AS
the beginning Of most violent crime
on a big scale in English history is
parallel with the spread Of strong
drink, so in our country crimes OF vio-
lence. crimes OF debauchery, political
corruption, the waste Of wages, the
ruin Of families, all have their home
and origin in the saloon. Civilization
viii o be a success until the saloon
is but a memory Of what men one
endured. West and south in the Unit
ed States to-day the path TO temper
ance is being followed with more de-
termination than ever in the history
OF our country. In mor territory is
the saloon made Illegal, and in a
greater part OF this territory is public
opinion sufficiently strong 70 make
prohibition a success. When it Is a
success, life will be brighter for the
wives and children OF hundreds Of
thousands Of fathers and husbands.

Speaking Of the honesty OF banks

deliberate dishonesty-George KEENAN,
IN McClure's p%ertiDently, but perhaps
a little unkindly, recalls the expert,
ence Of a San Francisco bank showing
that ~depositors are not always to be
trusted. After the earthquake, ae-
cording to the story. the German Ma.
tional bank. which had lost all it's
books, asked its customers to state
the amounts they had on deposit. The
ofhcers knew precisely the amount
they had lost in the aggregate. but did
not have a record OF the individual ac-
counts. The sums specified by the
depositors exceeded the known depos-
its Of the bank by more than f75, 600.
This showed that customers were TAX.
ing advantage OF the situation, but
rather than question their honesty the
bank charged the amount 10 profit and

John E, Swanger that an Injunction
had been issued In the federal court
at st. Joseph by Judge Pollock TO
restrsin him from annulling the
licenses Of the Chicago, Rock Island
4 Pacific Railroad Company from
doing business In Missouri. The
Rock islands q foreign corporation,
and as such, under a law passed by
the last general assembly prohibit
ing foreign corporations from sp-
pealing from q state to u federal
court, had laid itself liable to drastic
action on the part OF the state
authorities. The Injunction proceed
ings will be heard before Judge Pol.
lock at St. Joseph, September 16.
The Injunction Is a result Of a pro-
ceeding BY Prosecuting Attorney
Harry Herndon, OF Clinton county,
against the Rock Island to compel
II to stop all its passenger trains at
Lathrop, in that county, where the
road crosses the st. Joseph line Of
the Santa Fe. Under a law enacted
last winter, requiring trains to stop
at such points, the road was convict
ed In the state supreme court and
fined, appealing to the federal court,
