MONDAY EVENING. SEPT. 80, 1907.

REV. john TIMOTHY STONE, of Brown
Memorial Church, Baltimore, yesterday
delivered a very powerful address at the
Young Mems Christian Association on
the study of the Bible. He said that no
American or Eoglishman could be called
an educated man unless be is thoroughly
familiar with the English Bible. he
also said the great men, such as Glad
stone. Kant, Ruskin and thousands OF
Others prominent in literature, language
and science were, FIRST of all, Bible stu
dents. He alluded to the prophecy Of
Voltsire that within 100 years from l777
the Bible would be a forgotten book.
Bible knowledge, continued Rev Mr..
Stone, comes only in one way, by deep
aud diligent study. 1t can never be
accomplished without work. Men get
what they seek for, and do not acquire
bv accident. The reverend gentleman
is right. There are no free passes nor
royal roads to Biblical knowledge. One
hundred and thirty years have elapsed
since Voltaire made his forecast. The
Bible may, in large measure, be a
neglected book, but it is in no way for
gotten volume. About quarter of
century ago the house in which VOltaire
wrote pamphlets and doubtless penne1
his prophecy was being used as a Bible
depository.

SEsRETARY WILSON intends to make
a recommendation 10 Congress that a
system of federal inspection be estab-
llshed over dairy farms. The need for
such a system, it is claimed, is as ur-
gent in the case of dairy products as it
ever was in the case of the products
Of the big packing houses. The
output of the dairymen enters into
Interstate commerce, and infested milk,
butter and cheese may carry the germs
Of tuberculosis, typhoid and other dis
eases as we'll as infected meat. "Inter-
Stale commerce" are tslismauic words;
they are the "Open sesame" where
by the doors of all productive in
du3jIies are expected to fly open
to The federal Inspector. A ma
tional inspection having once been es-
tablshed for the products of any ir-
dus.ry it would be but step TO make it
exclusive. The States, having permit
ted the federal camel to poke its note
into their tents, would ere long find
themselves crowded out.

As the result of prompt action taken
by Governor MagoOn, the strikers on the
different railroads in Cuba. who promise
20 interfere considerably with movements
of trains, have entered into an agreement
that they will in no way interfere with
the mail service. Although the strike
idea seems to be spreading to the differ
ent provinces, even including cooks and
walters ct some places, it is not thought
here that it will become general or re-
suit in seriously embarrassing the gov
eminent.
A fatal accident occurred on board the
