whether it is Hartman, Morgan, Hill
or Gould. So far as the examination
conducted by the New York Times
goes, E. H. Hartman is the man for
whom the commission has been look
ing. He holds practically all the Ore
gon Short Line and vast majority of
the Southern Pacific. He outholds j.
j. Hill in Great Northern and is a sub
stantial holder in Northern Pacific, the
other great Hill road.
The Hartman Holdings.
He has interests in several other
systems and his hand is shown in the
control of some of the Vanderbilt roads.
In the Oregon Short Line, for instance,
Hartman holds common stock to the
par value of almost 271a million dol
lars. In Southern Pacific his holdings
are 75A millions common and 30 mill
lions preferred. In Union Pacific he
lions preferred. The Hartman system
of control is shown by a note submit
ted with the list of the ten largest
shareholders of the Southern Pacific.
The note says that all the 1,056,95S
shares in that company held in the
name of Mr.. Hartman; ILL., ,430 of the
shares appearing in the name of Kuhn,
Loeb & Co.; $500 shares in the name
of S. Siegman and 15.700 in the name
of E. S. Steinam are owned in fact by
the Oregon Short Line. A note filed
by the Oregon Short Line says that
besides the shares in the name of Mr..
of about 1000 shares, all the remainder
of the stock being held by individuals
in one share lots Another note says
that in addition to this ownership of
the Southern Pacfic the Oregon Short
Line owns 99.5S per cent of the oregon
Railroad & Navigation company.
RockefeIIer's Name Absent.
In addition to his holdings in the
roads belonging to the Hartman sys-
tenn proper some interesting facts con-
corning Mr.. Harriman's railroad activi
ties are shown. For instance, despite
all the rumpus there was over control
of the Illinois Central, the long drawn
out fight which ended in a victory for
Hartman, he is shown to hold only
81, AIS, 600 of the common stock and no
preferred. Stuyvesant Fish, his spec
tacular opponent in that fight. is not
down on the list of the first ten share
holders. In the Great Northern Harri
man holds $6.777, 300; more than three
times as much as J. J. Hill. In North
ern Pacific Hartman holds 81, 280, 900,
but here he is far behind Mr.. Hill.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-The second

outlining her case, Mrs. Batonyi's attor-

PENDANTS alleged unfaithfulness
Batonyi was on hand when the case
was called, but his wife had not ap-
peared by the time jury was obtained.
Mrs. Batonyfs first suit was discontin-
ued last June when her attorney walked
out of court after failing to get a delay
to secure an important witness The
homseman pressed his counter suit for
a separation and won it, but his victory
did not interfere with the present &C
ton.
-Four women were mentioned in
Mrs. Batonyi's complaint, but her coun-
sci announced today that the charges
involving two of them may be with
drawn. The first witness was Eugene
Arcourt. chauffeur. He said that on
March 4, 1908, he drove Batonyi and
woman whom he did not name, in his
taXicab as far north as 195th street,
and then returned. This taxicab trip
is the basis Of one Of Mrs. Batonyi's
charges. Arcourt said that he did not
see anything wrong in the actions of
the defendant or his companion that
night.

A vanilla bean kept in the sugar box
will impart a delicious flavor to the

Salt thrown into the oven immedi-
ately after anything has been burned

Green grapes and elderberry make a
delicious combination for a jelly. The
proportion is twice as much of the
elderberry as the grape.
When running dates, figs or raisins

earthly experience shall assuredly give

earthly experience shall assuredly give
place to the glory, the strength, the
perfection, the purity and the bliss of
the redeemed. There is no doubt about
his words They do not affirm that
we may, or we might, or that under
certain conditions it is possible that
we will, bear the image Of the heav-
emily. But they declare that we shall.
They point to the immutable facts of
our experience, and draw from them
the assurance of the promise. Because
there can be no doubt that we have
borne the image of the earthly, so
there can be no doubt that we shall
bear the image Of the heavenly.
Since memory and conscience and
fear and even hope itself are tinged
through and through with the colors
Of the earthly, and every reference
to experience assures us that we are
of the earth, earthly, and must be till
the end of life below, our whole spirit
work of an assured outlook upon ex-
allied joy and heavenly bliss beyond
the grave. For the promise derives its
inspiration from the dark and doleful
dreariness of sins experience. LAS we
have borne the image of the earthly, we
shall also bear the image of the heav-
emily"
The Christian who accepts the doc
trine Of the crucified and risen Christ
may look back upon his life, and let
both memory and conscience faithfully
record each proof of weakness, folly,
sin or shame through which the I'M
willing heart Is forced to trace the
tests and trials it has met; and out of
every downfall the penitent believer
can lift a monument of praise, and out
of every Renaissance of infirmity or
weakness bring forth a psalm Of faith
and hope-yes, even out Of every sin
for which tears Of contrition have
fallen he can lift up the promise Of
the Saviour's grace. For each and all
of these sad proofs of inherited weak
ness, and native depravity, and person
al indulgence and disobedience, are
just so many demonstrations and as
surances of purity and bliss and god
likeness at last. Each Christian life
has borne the image Of the earthly;
there can be no manner Of doubt about
that. And this very certainty, this
deep bedrock of experience, affords the
apostle standing room for his asser-
ton You shall bear the image Of the
heavenly. 1t is Gods word, not mans.
1t is the inspired statement Of holy
apostle of our Lord, who spake as he
was moved by the Holy Ghost, being
inbreathed of God. And, being thus
inspired, it is profitable for doctrine
and instruction, and for an assured
hope The somberness Of sad expert
ence affords a foil for the radiance of
glory with which the light Of love d.
vine brightens and gladdens the Chris
tian's hope. And the sunset of be-
levers life is like the dawn Of a day
of beauty such as earth never saw.

CAS- we have borne the image of the
earthly, we shall also bear the image
of the heavenly."-I Cor. 15:49.
The glory of a sunset cloud is not
in its radiance alone, but In its radi-
ance contrasted with it's gloom. The
brightness of the Christians hope is
partly due to the background of expe-
rience The infrmities and plumbers
and sins of earthly life the best of men
If we except the Saviour onIy-can-
not forget. But the Apostle Paul uses
them to cheer and encourage when he
says: "As we have borne the image
of the earthly, we shall also bear the
image of the heavenly"
1t is a depressing truth that human
life everywhere is marked by error,
weakness, folly, sin, decay and death.
These are alleviated, but cannot be re-
moved, by faith in Christ. Every hui
man soul bears the image of the
earthly. For every soul is temptable.
Many are burdened with grief. Some
are burdened with sin, and the best
and purest Of human beings are most
conscious of their sinfulness. Sorrow
and suffering appear in childhood, and
linger with US through youth, ma
turity and age. For the earthly is fee
BILE. Those who inherit from Adam
the self-indulgence and love of earth
ly pleasures through which he sinned
inherit also the consequences of those
sins. And sorrow is universal here on
earth.
But for those who believe in Christ
the apostle paints radiant future,
made all the more radiant by contrast
with the somber background of expe-
rience. As surely as we have borne
the image of the earthly, we shall also
bear the image OF the heavenly. If
we have been like Adam, we shall be
like Christ. The weakness, error, folly,

TSabine Baring-Gould exeter, England,

novelist antiquarian and the writer OF I
number of well-known hymns, was Cam
lege in 1856. Besides his works on medi
eval lore his name is familiar to the Eng
lish people as the author OF 'Richart
Cable" "John Herring" and other novels
In the comparatively short time since this
hymn was written, in 1855, 1t has becom'
world-famous and to-day 1T would rank
in frequency of USE with the greatest o
the hymns It's popularity is probabl!
due. in part, to the fact that 1t Is one o
the few martial songs suitable to churci
worship; also to its expression or rellg
fous unity, and, in no small degree, 70 tn

composed for it in 1872. 1t is favortt'
with all congregations especially witt
Young people. English soldiers often SIM
it on the march, whole regiments takinl

into many foreign tongues.1

Onward, Christian soldiers,

Like a mighty army,
Moves the church Of God:
Brothers, we are treading,
wbera the saints have trod:
We are not divided,
All one body we,
One in hope and doctrine,
One in charity.
Crowns and thrones may perish
Kingdoms rise and wane
But the church of Jesus
Constant will remain;
Gates Of hell can never
'Gainst that church prevail;
We have Christ's own promise,
And that cannot fail
Onward, then, we people,
Join our happy throngt
Blend with ours your voices
In the triumph song;
Glory, laud, and honor,
Unto Christ the King;
This through countless ages,
Men and angels sing.

charges the white colonists with haV'

strong race.
Less than three decades ago the
primitive Inhabitants, the Ona Indians,
lived, hunted and fought from Ana
garda point in Magellan strait to
Beagle channel.
Had the whole island been like the
southern half, to-day the Onas, in all
probability, would be in control OF
practically all Of their original domain,
Had it been like the northern half,
the world would undoubtedly look
upon the hunting grounds of an ex-
tfnct race. AS it is, within less than
thirty years the Onas have shrunk
from perhaps 5000 to 800, and all be-
cause they possessed land the white
man coveted for his sheep, and had an
Unborn courage and ferocity strong
enough TO oppose him.
With the establishment Of the first
sheep range, in the early sos, began
q cruel and persistent warfare on the
part of the white man. In reprisal for
the land from which he was driven,
the Ona raided the range at night for
the white guanaco.' as he called the
strange animal, the sheep, which he
found not only easily captured, but
sweeter and more tender to the taste
than the wild guanacos of his island.
