JOHN D. IRIS CLASS
SOUGHT FOR JOBS
Secret of ReSigatiOn of
S. S. Teacher.

NEW YORK, October 18.-(Spec-
iaD-The secret of John D. Rockefel-
Ter, Jr's. resignation as leader of his
Bible class in the Fifth Avenue Bap-
fist Church may be explained by a
statement made today by an officer
of the class, who pointed out that out
of a 400 membership rs per cent. had
applied for places in the Standard
Oil Company.
officers make no secret of the fact
that Mr.. Rockefeller's presence as
leader brought a large attendance, and
his absence has reduced the class
seriously On the other hand they
are glad to think that the "undesira-
BILE" members will remain away and
the good and sincere ones will stay.
If the attendance continues to de-
crease some members intend to in
augurate a movement to ask Mr..
Rockefeller to resume the leader
ship.

PUPILS OF COLORED
SCHOOL HAD PART
Sang OIdtime Melodies for
The Visitors.

The exercises at Andersonville
national cemetery, incident to the
dedication of the Wisconsin state
monument there, passed off smoothly
and was an impressive occasion
withal. The program, interesting in
it's entirety, was carried out by
Governor Davidson and party, and it
is said that there was not sentence
uttered that was calculated to en-
gender sectional feeling. Supt. Red
dick, of the Americas Institute, col
ored, was present, with many pupils
of his school. These latter consti-
tuted a choir and sang old time melo-
dies for the entertainment of the nor
therners, while their teacher de-
livered a brief address upon conclu
sion of the regular exercises.

AERONAU[S WILL
RAGE FOR PRIZES
Second Long Flight For
Bennett Cup.

ST. LOUIS, MO, October 49,
(SpeciaD This city will be the scene
next week of events that are expected
to mark an epoch in the development
of aerial navigation. Balloonists rep
resenting France, England, Germany
and America will meet in competi-
lions intended to demonstrate the
recent forward strides made in the
conquest of the air.
The occasion will be the second
long-distance flight for the Interna-
tional Aeronautic Cup, offered by
James Gordon Bennett
In order to wrest the honors from
America, if possible, the aeronautic
clubs of three European countries
have sent representatives to take
part in the competitions here next
week. The cup is valued at $4,000 and
is emblematic of the Balloon Racing
Championship of the World.
The cup is now held by Lieut.. Lain,
of the U. S. Army. In addition to
the international event, in which only
ordinary balloons will compete, the
St Louis Aero Club has offered $4,000
in other prizes to be competed for
by heavier than air" machines, in
which dirigible balloons, aeroplanes
and gasoline flying machines will
take part. The grand prize of $4,000
is offered for the dirigible balloon
or any aerial machine that makes the
best showing provided it makes the
six-mile course turning two goals,
within thirty minutes.

THEFT OF POINTER DOG
CHARGED IN COURT
Man Will Be Tried For
Simple Larceny.

The adjourned term of the City
Court of Americas convenes Mon
day next, when Judge Crisp will
take up the criminal cases passed
over at the September term, together
with a number of new and interesting
cases since developed.
And among these is the case against
a white man charged with simple
larceny, the theft of dog valued at
$45.
The fellow was arrested ten days
ago, but gave bond.
1t is alleged that he took the dog,
a valuable animal, to Stewart county
and sold him for 50, stating to the
purchaser, it is alleged, that the dog
was not his.
This case will be vigorously prose-
cuted to the end of having an effect
upon dog-stealers here generally. Re
Gently a number of fine hunting dogs
have been spirited away by thieves
and sold, and dog owners want an
example made.
The dog carried off in this particu-
lar instance was found again, but
not through the agency of the. man
charged with stealing it,
Another dog case may also be tried
at this term, wherein it is alleged
that two valuable pointers were
stolen, shipped away and sold. The
dogs we're finally recovered by an
advertisement placed in the Times
Recorder by the owner.
One or two convictions for this ne
farious business would break it up.

PUBLIC FRANCHISE
IN NATURE OF TRUST
State Is Partner In Service
Corporations.

WASHINGTON, d. c., October Is.
-(SpeciaD Charles H. Dickey,
of Baltimore, made an able address
an Obligation Imposed by the Pos
session of a Franchise" to the Ameri-
can Gas Institute.
Mr.. Dickey presented the idea that
public franchise is a public trust.
Franchises he set forth, are priv
leges which the people have delegated
to their fellow men to do for them
what they cannot reasonably do for
themselves. Each franchise, therefore
carries with it an Obligation to Com
monwealth or community which be-
slows it, and each franchise also car
ries with it an obligation from the
Commonwealth or community which
bestows it,"
He held that the State and the in
corporators are parties to a mutual
contract, and that, while the State
has the right of regulation for the
SOuloIC, Safely anu welfare VI SO-
ciety, yet these regulations must
not be in conflict with any provis-
ion of the charter granted the cor
poration; that they must be reasona-
BILE and not confiscatory or arbitrary.
Mr.. Dickey quoted decisions of the
United States Supreme Court, hold
ing that franchises are privileges of
distinctively public nature, Original
ting in legislative grant, and inn
pose upon the grantee "a duty to
the public to see that they are prop
erly used"
