A BANKRUPT CORPORATION.
New England Breeders Club So Ad-
 judged by Judge Aldrich.

Concord, N. H., Jan. 1.--The New England Breeders club, the organiza- ton of New York capitalists, which built and equipped Rockingham park, an elaborate track for running horse races, at Salem, this state, has been adjudged bankrupt corporation by Judge Edgar Aldrich of the United States circuit court. This decree will act as a stay of proceedings brought in the state courts by creditors against the club, but it is expected that an appeal from the decree will be made on the ground that the club is an amusement company and not entitled to the relief offered mercantile cor porations by the bankruptcy laws.

Practical godliness, the life Of selfshness
or superliciality, is not new. Every age has
been burdened by the multitude who seem
not to know or care if they have spiritual
nature or possibility. But to-day this takes
shape in definite teaching, both through
the philosophy of profound and scholarly
thinkers, as Haeckle and Metchnikof and
Marx, and in the vigorous propaganda of
materialstic socialism, which wipes God
