DR.. Aked on Newspapers.

DR.. Charles F. Aked's second SER
mon in the Fifth Avenue Baptist
Church, R~ockefeller's church, in New
York City, was listened to by an au-
dience which crowdedthe auditorium.
DR.. Aked denounced the sensational
newspapers in an address which was
devoted to a discussion of the right
and the wrong sorts of curiosity. 1t
was based on the incident of Moses
and the burning bush.
socrates was such a prying fell
low, so solicitous of other peoples
business, that is is no wonder that
the Athenians killed him. Now, no
man, much less myself, will want to
break a lance for ignorance. But
there is a good curiosity and a cheap
and worthless one. With the world
so full of marvels, of good, of deeply
interesting things, we make a great
mistake not to direct our attention,
u curiosity, to all this, instead of
to the merely trifing.
There is much interest in the
trifing. In fact, those of our news
papers which are filled with the least
useful and worthy matterar are the very
ones which have the largest circula-
ton. People have an unfortunate de-
sire to know what they do not need
at all to know and what is of no use
to them. This is tragedy to me. It
a s~tagnation of the higher
faculties of mind. We should direct
u curiosity in the right direction"

DIR. TALKS OF o o
Pres. of Board of Health,

"What shall I eat?" is the daily
inquiry the physician is met with. l
do not hesitate to say that in my
judgment, a large percentage of dis
ease is caused by poorly selected and
improperly prepared food. My per-
sonal experience with the f~ully-cooked
food, known as Grape-Nuts, enables
me to speak freely of it's merits.
From overwork, l suffered several
years with malnutrition, palpitation
of the heart, and loss of sleep. Last
summer l was led to experiment per-
sonally with the new food, which |
used in conjunction with good rich
cows milk. In a short time after I
commenced its use, the di~sagreeable
symptoms disappeared, my hearts ac-
ton became steady and normal, the
functions of the stomach we're prop
erly carried out and l again slept as
soundly and as well as in my youth.
II look upon Grape-Nuts as a per-
feet food, and no n can gainsay but
that it has a most prominent place in
a rational, scientific system of feed
ing. Any n who uses this food will
500 be convinced of the soundness
of the principle upon which it is
manufactured and may thereby know
the facts as to its true worth" Read,

Era of Great Strikes Passing.

Washington, D. C.-According to
Carroll D. Wright, who was commits
5ioner of labor for a number of years,
and is now president of Worcester
University, the era of great strikes
is passing away. In the place Of in
dustrial strikes the Cancellation plan
is being adopted.
In an interview here Mr.. Wright
says the tendency is against the great
strikes which we're numerous from
the early seventies onward. He be-
lieves the tendency is against them
more strongly than it has ever been
in recent years, but that they served
an effective purpose-that of teach
ing capital what labor wanted and
teaching labor more about capital.
The effect of such strikes was loss
both to employers and employed.
Mr.. Wright contends that while lit
tie is heard of it, all over the country
employers and laborers are getting
together in a spirit of Cancellation.
Greater efficiency on the part of
the man who has an industrial duty
to perform is another tendency of
the times noted by Mr.. Wright.

SAN FRANCIsCO's IDLE ARMY.
More Than 10000 Workers Losing
100000 in Wages Weekly.

San Francisco. - The street car
mems strike has dragged along all
the week with no material change.
Every day the United Railroads has
sent out a few more cars and oper-
ated new lines until now cars are run
over more than three-quarters of the
lines.
The company has about 500 men
employed, which permits the opera
ton Of only about one-third the usual
number OF cars. Service is also
stopped at Z o'clock at night because
of the fear Of accidents. Every day
is marked by petty assaults on nom
union car men, by the throwing of
bricks and stones at cars in certain
districts and by the insults of union
sympathiZers.
Governor Gillett is ready to call
out the militia if he regards it neces-
sary, but no serious rioting has oc-
Cured. The fear of insult or assault
deters thousands from riding on the
cars. The a mems and other
strikes have made 10000 idle here
and the loss of weekly wages of the
strikers amounts to 100000. Of
the unemployed out on strike 1000
are car men, 10000 ironworkers,
100 l~aundrymen, 500 brewery work.

DEARTH OF MEN
FOR THE MINISTRY
D~iscouraging Report by the Board of
Education to the Presbyterian
General Assembly.

Columbus, Ohio.-In it's report to
the Presbyterian General Assembly
the Board of Education said:
THE board has been made aware
that its. solicitude over the present
period of decline in the number and
quality of candidates presenting
themselves for the gospel ministry is
shared by the boards of education of
other denominations.
Word has come from the Episco-
pal, Methodist and Lutheran bodies
that the falling off, so noticeable a
few years ago, is beginning to have
its direct effect on the church.
Dissatisfaction is felt in many
quarters over the inability of the
churches to secure the highest type
of consecrated manhood for the min
istry.
Pulpit vacancies for distressingly
long periods are more and more no.
ticeable, and complaints are heard
from committees on pulpit supply as
to their inability to fill satisfactorily
the places of those who are dropping
from the ranks of the ministry.
1T is with grave concern that the
church at large should know the facts
that in thirty evangelical theological
seminaries in our country the church
is about 400 men short of the num-
Der studying ten years ago, despite
the country's increase of 100000
in population.
There r one-third less men stu
dying for the ministry of the Presby-
terrain church than ten years ago, and
yet the membership of our branch of
the Presbyterian church has increased
during that period from 1,024,OO0 to
100000.
Ten years ago there was one can
didate for every $40 church mem
bers, to-day there is one candidate
for every 1910 members.
rs it not therefore incumbent upon
the church to engage in importunate
prayer in behalf of the sons of the
church, that more of them may be
led to turn a deaf ear to the solicita-
lions of a commercially prosperous
age, and to consecrate their talent to
the work of the ministry"

of Alleged Brihers,
ENORMOUS BAIL BONDS GIVEN
Railway Officials Compelled to Put
Up $500, OGO-Schmitz, After a
Delay, Gets Bonds-Trials Will
Keep Courts Busy Two Years.

San Francisco, Cal.-The Grand
Jury indicted six wealthy men on
charges of bribery and attempted
bribery, and returned additional in
dictments against Abraham Ruef and
Mayor E. E. Schmitz.
Frank G. Drum, Eugene D. Saba,
John Martin, Abraham Ruef and
Mayor Schmitz were indicted on four
teen counts, each charging that they
Jointly bribed fourteen Of the eigh-
teen Supervisors in the sum of $3.50
each to make the gas rate eighty-five
cents for 1906, instead of seventy-ive
cents. G. II. Umbsen, B. f. Gren,
w. l. Brobeck and Ruef were indicted
on fourteen counts each, charging
that they Jointly attempted to bride
fourteen Supervisors in the sum OF
$1,000 each to vote a trolley fran
chise to the Parkside Transit Com
pany. Judge Coffey set bail at $1,000
on each of the 1875 counts contained
in the twenty-eight indictments.
Officials of big corporations
thronged Judge Coffey's courtroom
to give bail of $4,000 so that the
indicted men may have liberty pend
ing trial on felony indictments re-
turned against them by the Grand
Jury.
Louis Glass, vice-president of the
Pacific States Telephone and Tele-
graph Company, and Theodore v.
Halsey, of the same concern, gave
bonds in the sum Of 100000 on the
charge of bribing two Supervisors
to vote for the granting Of a COM
peting telephone franchise in San
Francisco.
President Patrick Calhoun, AS
sistant President Mulally, General
Counsel TREY L. Ford and Assistant
Counsel William l.. Abbott, of the
United Railways Investment Com
pany, had each been indicted on four
teen counts on the charge of bribing
thirteen Supervisors and Mayor
Schmitz to grant a trolley franchise
under which the United Railways
was electrified. William H. Croker,
president of the C-rocker-Woolworth
National Bank and foremost capt.
talist of San Francisco, and President
Henry T. Scott, of the Pacific States
Telephone and Telegraph Company,
were in court to furnish personal bail
of $560,000 for them. Arrangements,
however, had already been made with
a surety company of New York,
whose attorney handed to Judge
Coffey fifty-six bonds for $4,000
each.
Mayor Schmitz also gave bail for
$4,000 on indictments charging him
with accepting a $4,000 bride from
TREY l.. Ford and a bride of $3250
from Frank Drum, of the San Fran
cisco Gas and Electric Company.
On the new indictments he must
give bonds for 100000 more, or
$4,000 in all. If he cannot do this
he will have to go to prison.
Abraham Ruef, indicted with the
United Railroads officials and Mayor
Schmitz, did not appear and offer
bail, as he is now in custody. The
fourteen new indictments against
him make eighty-seven outstanding
against San Francisco's former polit-
ical leader.
The aggregate bail offered in the
indictments was $750,000.
The trial of the alleged grafters
will keep all the criminal courts here
busy for at least two years.

1906. In the shroud display of the
company, Mr.. GRADER represents, are
two or three pink dresses for young
