New York, Nov ST am a Metho-
dist, my father was a Methodist and
my grandfather was Methodist |
am trustee in a Methodist university
and / want to protest here and now
against the Methodist clergy laying the
Methodist church open to the charge
of being The Church of the Holy Pc
troleum." With this and other SIM
liar epigrams, Frank S. Monnett, the
legal foe of Standard Oil and former
attorney general of Ohio, aroused first
CONSERVATION and then applause at the
monthly meeting of the Methodist min
listers of New York and Brooklyn in
this city. MI Monnett had arisen in
the body of the house and very few
knew his identity. He spoke rapidly
and emphatically.
Il protest against our Methodist
missions and universities receiving
stolen goods under the pretense of
sanctifying the plumber" he went on.
The trustees of cur universities are
the guardians of our mems consciences,
and they can i'll afford to undermine
these great institutions by condoning
economic wrongs"
Aghast at this plain talk from a
stranger, some of the clerics shouted
at Monnett:
who are you?" and How did you
get in here"
Rev. DR.. Potter George then rose and
introduced Mr.. Monnett. who started
to speak in ten-minute discussion on
Dr. Henry A. Nicholsons paper
Il sit in a pew fifty-two Sundays a
year" continued Mr. Monnett, And
listen to you fellows rate my shortcom-
ings. Now, am in the pulpit and you
have got to listen to me. The ministry
might better go out without purse or
scrip or staff than with means begged
from the plumbers of the people. They
would come back here with more hon
or and richer harvest of souls. Our
churches might better have plain win
dows than rich stained glass windows,
which makes saints of federal Grim
inals.
But for these mighty thieves, at
whose feet many of the clergy have SO
shamefully fawned. We might support
our own INDECENT and work out profes,
sors and ministers, maintain our own
missions and pay the full tuition OF
our children at our colleges. We might
build our own libraries and extend the
humanity of our young men and wom-
en-, and keep them from being eternally
hewers of wood and drawers of water
for men whom federal courts have in
dicted, yet whose aims the clergy seek
by condoning their crimes"
Mr.. Monnett was vigorously ap-
plauded.

TWO CITIES WANT
WILLIAM E. WOOD
Railway Trainman Accused of
Passing Fraudulent
Checks.
CONFESSES TO HIS ACTS.
PERU AUTHORITIES ALSO WANT
MAN BUT HE WILL BE FIRST
ARRAIGNED IN WAYNE COUNTY
FOR HIS MISDEMEANOR.

Arrested on suspicion William G..
Wood, of Peru, a railway trainman
confessed afterward to passing a
fraudulent check on the Union Nation
al bank of this city. Wood is wanted
on three charges of forgery at Peru
and was arrested for the Peru auth
critics. A short time after his incar-
ceration word was received at head
quarters of the mans completely in a
fraudulent deal at the Alph Collett sa-
loon on North . street. At this place
he induced Collett to cash the check.
Wood was arrested while on board
an interurban car eastward bound at
the Norman switch. Officer Weston
berg had reported to headquarters
that an unknown man had attempted
to cash a check at the Pantry grocery
on East Main street and had not sue
ceeded. The policeman was told to
take the next east bound interurban
as the night sergeant had learned that
Wood would be aboard that car. The
officer carried out the instructions
anu the arrest Vi INC HAL Was dCCOul-
plished without difficulty.
1t has been learned that Wood at
tempted to cash the check at the
Henry Cutter saloon and a number
of other places in the south end OF
the city. The police believe there is
a likelihood to place another case
against against the man in this city.
He will not be returned to Peru for
trial unless acquitted here. Inasmuch
as he is confessed the latter is not
believed likely. The nature of the
cases at Peru is not known locally,
although the Peru authorities were
very anxious to secure him and had
intended to leave that place at
o'clock this morning to come after the
prisoner. They were notified there is
a local case pending.
Wood was involved in trouble a few
weeks ago, when he was arrested for
wife desertion after his wife had pro
tested he did not stay at home with
her. Not enough evidence was found
in that case to warrant trial

Republics Early Days.
If President John Adams had been a
man of different tempera uent the rus
tom might have been established IN
the early years of the government of
the United States of retaining the c1b-
met of one administration for service
with its successor where that success
sor succeeded to the political ideas of
its predecessor. President Adams
sought at first to retain through his
administration the members of the
deed, at that early period the status
Of a cabinet officer was not exactly
that of the present time, and In tine
course of President Adams rows with
the members of his official household
he resorted to the strange step OF re-
moving his secretary of state, limo
thy Pickering, and James McHeary,
his secretary of war.
President Jefferson Of course toolf q
new cabinet President Madison cen
tinued in his administration a number
of the cabinet officers of President
Jefferson, and President Monroe held
some Of his predecessors. John Quincy
Adams also continued to meet about
his council board some of the advisers
Of James Monroe, but Andrew Jackson
began his administration with an en-
tirely new set Of Official counselors.
He maintained also another set Of ad-
visers, unofficial, who became known
as the Kitchen cabinet"

had acted respectively as secretary Of
the treasury, secretary Of war, secre-
tary of the navy, postmaster general
and attorney general in the cabinet of

President William Henry Harrison's
cabinet was brand new, and John Ty-
Ter sought to keep it together after
Harrison's death, but in less than six
months all had resigned except Dan
iel Webster, the secretary Of state.
Presidents Polk, Taylor, Fillmore,
Pierce. Buchanan and Lincoln each
formed a new cabinet.
President Johnson's difficulties with
certain members Of the cabinet that
existed at the death Of President Lin
coin are well known. Since that Pc

PEcTED TO GIVE CATHOLIC
SCHOOL HARD GAME.

Indianapolis, Ind, Nov. 3.-F'ootball
fans of Indiana are giving all their at
tention to the big annual Indiana
Notre Dame game to be played on the
Washington Park gridiron in this city
next Saturday. It will be the first Of
two games to decide the state cham
ptonship, which fact lends it consid-
cradle Importance. Indiana university
won the title in 1906 from Notre Dame
in q memorable battle, II to q. Last
season the two teams were so evenly
matched that neither could score. the
game ending. O to O. The field was
heavy from rains. and rain fell during
the progress Of the contest, but neither
eleven could snatch an advantage on
this account. Notre Dame claims a
share on the state title on the strength
Of last years tie game, while Indiana
lays siege to the championship with
tho argument that inasmuch as she
held Il in 1905. and was not defeated
last season, 1t remains in her possess

enough to let the two schools fight 1t
out among themselves

Two games, the third annual In Indian
apolfs, Saturday, should be a hard

and others opposed to such Notre
Dame stars as Bracken. Munson, Shee-
han and others. When these men were
lost By graduation It was thought that
nslther school would be able to turn
out q strong eleven for 1907. But last
year both were up to standard. In
dtDna's stars were Tighe, McGaughey
and Hickman, while Captain Callicrate
was Notre Danes best. All these men
go lost, but others just as good are
ming their shoes and stockings. The
tWo schools were even last year and
Indiana has lost more men by gradua-
ton than has Notre Dame. The casual
observer might think Notre Dame
much the stronger for that reason.

Perhaps the ablest rebuke ever ad-
dressed to q miser was that Of a beg
gar who derisively offered Lord Brace,
an ancestor of the present British
Duke Of Fife, little silver coin just
to get sight OF his lordship's hoard
ed gold and silver. Now, Lord Brace
was Of true miser breed. and the mere
sight Of the silver tempted him to
open his chests. whereupon the beg
gar remarked quietly:
