Dr.. Macdonald Says II Has Strength
of Other Systems Minus Weakness.
The Rev. DIR. Robert Macdonald Of
the Washington Avenue Baptist church
in Brooklyn preached his second SER
mon a few nights ago in series Of
four on the Emmanuel movement, the
new Boston system of curing nervous
arrangements by complementing SCI
ence and religion.
From what DR.. Macdonald said, 1t
would appear that the leading traits
about the new system were its eclecti-
cism of method, fits catholicity of spirit
and the general intangibility Of its ma
ture.
THE new Emmanuelism." he declar-
ed, "dares use help from all sources
from psychology, from medicine, men

faith cure alike-taking the strength OF

No man ever lived whose inventive

Sample of His Memory.
Blessed with most wonderful MEM

with absolute exactness intricate fig
ures. even though he had not had oc-
casion to use them in twenty or thirty
years. An example Of this happened
when he was being interviewed recent

Edison concerning certain fluid to be

this, so many parts Of that and so

gave to the smallest fraction Of a drop
the exact amount of each fluid to be
used.

interested Mr. Edison, and that is fish

Willing to Give 1t Up For $4,000

The latter scrutinized 1t closely, gave
Edison a piercing glance and said
something which Edison could not un-
derstand, as he was hard Of hearing.
That was enough. He was now more
than ever convinced that his check
wasn't worth $4,000 and again thought
as he rushed out of the bank with 1t
that any man who would give him 81
600 could walk away with the check.
He hurried back to the Western In
ion and said he couldn't get any mon
ey. General Lefferts then sent man
with him to identify him. He said
that 'this man Is Thomas A. Edison,
to whose order the check Is drawn"

messages came tumbling out on the
floor attracted the attention Of the 9th

His First Check.
During lunch some years ago the
great electrician became chatty and
told in his quaint way the story Of
his first acquaintance with any large
sum Of money.
( 1t was In the days when he was
struggling along with his earlier in
ventions and didn't have big capitalists
to back him. In fact, he didn't have
any bank account himself and hardly
knew what one was. Bank checks
were things he had never had occasion
to use and knew little Of their value.
Edison had finally sold his patent on
the gold and stock indicator to the
Western Union Telegraph company for
$4,000 and was coming over from his
home in Orange, N. j., to New York to
get his money. He had heard Of Wall
street and its bulls and bears and had
been told that 1t was full Of Sharks
who would fleece man very quick.
So he made, up his mind that Wall
street was very dangerous place and
that If he ever had occasion to 80 there
he would be lucky if he got away with
out losing his overcoat and umbrella.
At that time General Lefferts was
president Of the Western Union. One
morning Edison came into the COM
pany's general Offices to close up the
sale of his patent After few pre-
liminaries he was given check for
$4,000. He looked at it curiously for
moment or two and appeared to be
puzzled what to do with 1t. He knew
that he had sold patent to the West
ern Union company for $4,000, but he
didn't see any money.
Observing his perplexity, General
Lefferts told him that il HE would go
down to. the Bank of America, in Wall
street, he could get the check cashed.
$50 started out" said Edison, after
carefully folding up the check, and went
toward Wall street. So uncertain was
l in regard to that way Of doing bust
ness that I thought while on the way
that If any man should come up to me
and offer me two crisp thousand dollar
bills for that piece of paper should
give him up the check very quick"
On arriving at the Bank Of America
he hesitated about entering, fearing
still that something might be wrong.
At last, however, he mustered up cour-
age and determined to try 1t. He
knew that General Lefferts had told
him he would get his money here, so
he braced ahead and half tremblingly
showed his check out to the cashier.

NOTICE TO ELECTORS.

Several notices have been running

books for registration for the coming

1908, will be closed on the 26th
inst, and for fear such notice may
he misconstrued and electors led to
believe they may register on that
date, attention is called to the fol-
lowing clause of the City Charter:
Registration may be made at any
time during Office hours before the

istrars), except that the registration
shall be closed for TEN DAYS next
preceding the date OF any special city

The ten days next preceding the

A BUSINESS QUESTION.

When Mr.. Taft addressed the
farmers of the Middle West a few
days ago he declared that the cleo
ton Of a president was purely a
question of business" He might
have cited, in proof of this, a case
which involves the wheat OF that
section where the Red River of the
North crosses the Canadian border.
Pembina, In Minnesota, and EN-
erson. In the Canadian province Of
Manitoba. are on that line, In the
midst OF a great wheat-raising re-
kon. The two villages lie side by
side. They are equally distant from
Liverpool. According to the Demo.
cratic theory that the American
farmer needs no protection, the price
OF wheat ought to be the same In
both villagessskut, according 70 Rep-
resentative McEleary of MinneDtasit
Is mott The wheat u the .iarmeY who
markets at Psnlbin& always brings
more. often as much as Is or 20
cents bushel more, than thatrsof the
man who markets at Emerson.
The reason~that the wheat of the
American farmer sold In Pehbina
brings a higher price is that the
farmer on this side OF the line has
the great home market of the Unit
ed States at his door with more than
80 millions Of consumers. The Ca
madam farmer has no such home
market and must dispose of his
wheat abroad. The American home
market was created and is maintain
ed by the Republican policy of pro-
tecting American industries and of
protecting the American farmer from
the competition of Canada and Ar
Gentina, which. with protection re-
moved, could pour vast quantities of
grain into the United States.
Are the farmers ready to vote for
policy that would destroy their
home market and take from them
the advantage they now enjoy over
the grain producers of other coun-
tries?

IS THE GOVERNOR BEING USED
AS A TOOL?

The various examinations of the
books of the state treasurer's office.
and the hints and insinuations given
out from time to time from the CAPT
oil that affairs in the treasurers Of
flee are not as they should be, and
then Withholding from the public
the results obtained by these exami-
nations, coupled with the reticence
of the governor leads to the conclu-
sion that the governor is acting
either unwisely or unfair in the I'M

and are now being made against the

Not being content with the exam
nations made by the regular state
examiner, the governor sends to the
state of Colorado for an expert &C
countant, thus giving color to an
unjust suspicion.
Each examination of the books of
the treasurer's office has shown the
AFFAIRS of that office to be in first
class condition. and il is the height
OF folly for trieksters politicians or
jealous concerns to try and make the
