CLERGY'S EFFORTS TO
SAVE THE RICH MAN

New York.-In his sermon on "The
Rich Man" the Dev. DR.. Oscar Hay
wood, pastor of the Collegiate Bap-
tist Church of the Covenant, said the
New Testament verse, ut is easier for
a camel to go through the eye of a
needle than for a rich man to enter
the kingdom of heaven" had given
the preachers of New York an impos-
sible task to explain this text away
or else to distort it to suit the veal
thy members of their congregations.
"The intellectual gymnastics of a
preacher" said DR.. Haywood, TO
save the rich man and save his re-
spect for Jesus Christ would be anus
ing but that it is so pathetic"
Detailing the many explanations
various New York preachers had given
of the test to suit their fancy, he said:
Thus have they saved the rich
man at the expense of a beautiful
page from the New Testament"
DR.. Haywood explained that he was
not dependent on the ministry for
living, that his large property hold
ings were an inheritance, and that he
rented II 10 Ills lOlldilS lOA JhSb oS
little as would pay the taxes and keep
a girl in college.
He declared an industrious work
man who was unable to find work
and was hungry, had a right to go in
to a bakeshop and take enough bread
to fill him.
"I knew but two rel gious men in
my life; one is dead, and the other
is in New York. His name is How,
and he lives on the Bowery. He has
given millions to the poor, and he lives
the life of day laborer. There is
stamped on his face more of worldly
wisdom, more of saintliness than any
man | ever saw"
After this reference TO j. Eads
How, Dr. Haywood said the trend of
holidays of great wealth was corrupt
immoral worldly and downward.

SEA DEVIL FOUND
IN FLUSHING BAY

New York.-For a few hours a
group of residents or Flushing
thought they had captured the grand
father of the pictured trust octopus,
when they drug from the mud Of
Flush ng bay, in the rear of the Will
low Bank, the country home of Wal
ter B. Lawrence, an uncanny mon
ster. which proved to he a fishing
frog. or sea angler.
The freak was first sighted floun-
dering in the soft ooze of the bay,
the receding tide. by Mr.. Lawrence's
gardner.
Dodging a mud bath, the gardner,
with a pitchfork, harpooned the floun-
dering object, and then, with the help
of others, the frog was hauled up on
the solid ground for inspection.
1t was four feet in length. weigh
ed AZ pounds and measured eight
inches across the shoulders. 1t was
equipped with double row of razor
like teeth and its distended jaws
measured eight inches, while two
formidable spines protrude from its
head. From one of the spines hung
what appeared to be piece of raw
flesh, which II was later ascertained
the monster used in fishing.
Several photographs were taken of
of the frog, and Mr.. Lawrence will
have 1t shipped to Manhattan and try
to find a place for it in the Museum
of Natural History.

CORBEIT IN NO CONDITION
TO TRAIN BIG FIGHTER

Il saw James ]. Corbett a night or
so ago on Broadway" writes Jeff
Thompson. "He had just arrived home
from England. He looks the same
as of old except that rs rotunda is a
little more pronounced. This bosh
about Corbett being trainer for JEFF
fries is the biggest kind of nonsense
Corbett's physical condition is as
good as that of any other ordinary
man, but 1t is in no wise up to the
standard required for boxing trainer
for a heavyweight fighter who is pre-
pairing for a big battle. For the last
half dozen years Corbett has been
working at acting, and every one
knows that II is not a muscle devel-
oper.

as sure as the omnipotent made little

Johnson is a four flusher, always was
and always will be. He can stall about
as well as any other negro fighter,
but one blow is sufficient to bring out

Johnson is beaten. If Jeff and john
son spar for a couple OF rounds, John
son will be wary. Suddenly Jeff
shoots in a jab that nearly topples
the black man. For a spurt Johnson
bristles up and extends himself. but
he gradually loses hope and conf
dence until he becomes an easy prey

dition by next July, too.

CROKER WEALTH TO
SEEK CANCER CURE

Paris.-It is stated here by the
friends of George Croker, who died
in New York, a victim of cancer, that
when his will is made public it will
be found that he bequeathed a large
sum of money for research, with the
hope of finding a cure for the mall
ady.
Mrs. Croker died of cancer in 1904
shortly after an operation in Paris.
Two years later her husband dis
covered that he dis afflicted. Emil
hent specialists were unable to af-
ford more than temporary relief.
and before he died it is said that he
learned two of his intimate friends
had also been stricken with cancer.

found that the dance could express
sorrow also, by means of solemn mea-

abides to this day with the savage or
semicivilized people, who still use the
dance to express alteration of their

Asked after her lecture for her
opinion of the dancing of Isadora
Duncan, Miss Crawford said: Miss
Duncan's art is beautiful illustrat. on
of what dancing can be made to ex-

that the dance is not mere form of
amusement or exercise, but has real
