Thus tho Word says of the kingdom
that should be set up by the Lord Jesus.
Notwithstanding marvellous progI ess.
there are those who doubt the promised
kingdom. and say that the world is grow
ing not better but worse. Notice the state
of society into which the Lord came. The
life Of Agrippina is typical Her father
was poisoned when she was three yea s
Old. Her mother was murdered when she
was seventeen. She married her own
uncle for political power. Size ruined
Junius sllvanus that her son Nero might
marry Octavia. She poisoned her hus-
band that her son might rue in his stead.
She poisoned Silvanus and murdered
Narcissus She was finally slain by her
own son, who i'm turn committed suicide TO
escape torture. Not only had society be-
come such that it demanded tragedy in
the theatre to be the actual slaughter of
some wretched captive. and that comedy
should be the actual abuse Of some hat d
person, but the theatre rang with the
shouts and mirth at the outrage Of
Christian virtue upon public stage.
Augustus boasted Of exhibiting s 600 gladl-
ators and 35i0 wild beasts Christians
were disguised in the skins Of beasts. and
given TO be torn to pieces by packs of
dogs. Along the walks OF Neros garden
We're crosses. upon which were nail d
and burned. for the entertainment of
evening parties, those of Christian faith.
Only by such awful scenes by the heat
of such he'll fire, could the congea' ed
blood OF a debauched ard enervated age
be made to flow. Art and literature had
declined until they became the reflection
Of society itself.
Such was the world when Jesus first
came TO set up His kingdom Can one
know history and doubtf Let every one
believe in final Christhn victory. and add
to the invisible powers that so forth con-

The evidence, as | view It. does not
establish the fact that the Pioneer

but IL is IN evidence that the tiller
ropes Of the Bachelor boat became

This, taken in connection with the
fact that the boats were close TO-

SPRINGER HEIRS
AGAIN INQUIRE
George 5. Wilson Writes From
Canada About Supposed
Estate

John Cathcart. the well-known
blacksmith of this city. has received
letter from George S. Wilson, Of
Ingersol. Canada. who inquiries about
the Springer estate" 10 part of which
he thinks he may be entitled. Edwin
Osborn, also Of Ingersoll, is a descend
ant of Charles Springer Of this city.
through whom the land known as the
Springer estate passed, and has been
inquiring about it.
Mr.. Wilson IS a blacksmith of 1nger-
soil. and finding that Mr.. Cathcart Is
an officer of the Blacksmiths' Assocla-
tion in this city. he took the liberty to
write to him and inquire about the
Spriner estate. TIis father was George
Springer, a resident OF Wilmington
until the Civil War. when he enlisted
in the army Then he went to Chicago
and died there in 1878 After that The
family moved to CanaIa, the son taxi
ing the name of Wilson. Mr. Wilson
says he often heard his father refer
to the Springer estate. and he is
wondering whether he is entitled to a
share OF it.
What the Estate Is.
What is known as the Springer
estate is land that was conveyed by
the Duke of York in 1871 TO. several
individuals. and after it passed
through several hands il was De-
qpeathed to Old Swodes Church in
1850. The rector and vestrymen of
Old Swedes Church appointed Charles
Springer, Garrett Garrettson and
Jacob Stillev as trustees to devise.
lease or sell the land in the tract.
which covers a great part of Whining
ton, and extends diagonally from the
southeast to the northwestern part.
The land was conveyed by Mr.. Spring.
er i'm leasehold TO different persons,
and to others st was scld. Some Of
the leases are for periods OF 1000 years.
Lawyers of this city have received,
hundreds. If not thousands Of in
quiries about the Springer estate
from persons IN oil parts of the world
There is a general opinion among tho
lawyers that the heirs of Charles
Springer have no claim whateyer on
the land. as MIR. Springer merely
leased or rented it to others in his
capacity as surviving trustee for Old
Swedes Church. and il any of the land
should revert it would be to the church
and not to the Springer heirs.
Titles of property included in the
springer estate tract" are passed
right along by lawyers. and whenever
necessary a release Is obtained from
old swedos Church vestry TO remove
all doubt.

THE OLD STORY OF LUXURY.

IT he wearing of a diamond on suspender
A by a politician, as has been noted in the
metropolitan papers, is but one example OF ex-
travagance and luxury, of which during recent
years there have been many evidences. Indeed
the complaint OF writer's and thinkers upon these
questions has been that the last decade, accom-
panied as it has been by a marvellous develop
nent Of our resources and the consequent accu-
mutation of wealth, has evolved mwonted lux
ury and extravaganza a reckless expenditure of
money that is mere waste. 1t has been pointed
ont that nation which creates class of lux
urious rich, shows in itself signs Of decay and
retrogression History records this story most
clearly
Examples of luxury such as costly dinners,
useless and expensive ornaments. the very rich
vieing with each other in their efforts at spen-
dor, are but a repetition of hstory's tales OF the
luxury OF declining nations among the ancents.
Roscher recalls how the luxurious ancients
trained canary birds so that they could sing GER
tain songs and then the birds eaten at the
banquet table of the idle rich. One Roman to
outdo his rivals dissolved costly pearls in wine
with which to regale his fellow voluptuarics. 1t
was not that the pearls made the wine better, but
the idea was to reach the limitof costliness of
the dinner-to outrival his fellow nobemen
Such luxury has always been condemned by
the writers on economies as disastrous for a
country, not alone because of the envy it incites
in the minds OF the less fortunate but also be-
cause it shows an unsound industrial condition
in that it is an evidence OF improper distribu-
tion OF the wealth Of a country. Accumulations
of great wealth on the one hand are followed on
the other hand by poverty degradation, misery
and exploitation A country is not necessarily
glorious in all those real things that so to make
general welfare because it possesses a limited
number of the very rich That country is the
wise nation wherein the wealth is more evenly
distributed, where the capitalist gets fair re-
turn for his investment, where the laborer reaps
wholesome share OF the product of his labor
and where he is relieved from the fear OF biting
poverty.
And the money, the capital, the time, the labor
that are used in the creation OF luxuries such as
we have cited, are capital and labor wasted in
that they are withdrawn from the production OF
real and necessary commodities and wealth.
which are tangible and lasting in their form and
which go TO increase the comforts and the we'll
being Of the masses. Over-indugence in luxury
is one Of the potent causes OF industrial depress
sons and consequent panics.
