Il was learned yesterday that the
repairs on the cars "farmed out"
averaged close to $500 per car. max.

sl,c00,000 of this is claimed to have

The first repair work given the Ds-

given it by the advice of former
superintendent OF motive power and
machinery who has since left the SER

higher officials that Henry C. Oster.
mann, former conductor on the ILL

manufacturing company bearing his
name and that 1t was located on the
tracks of the Illinois Central at West
Pullman. He thought it would be a
good thing to give him some business.
The higher officials had no objection.
provided the cars had to be "farmed
OUT and providing Ostermann would
do the work as reasonable as any
other firm.
After that the laxlty Of the system
pertaining on the Illinois Central
made II possible for hundreds of cars
to be hauled past the shops of the
company at Burnside to the shops of
the Ostermann Manufacturing Com.
rany at West Pullman, there to be
repaired at alleged excessive prices.
IN addition to the Illinois Central
company's paying switching charge

reason for This was found in the al.
legged fact that certain Illinois Cen.
trail officials or employees held stock
in the Ostermann Manufacturing

Bishop Halls Pastoral Letter.

Ia place of the regular sermon at
Christ Church on Sunday the rector
read the usual Pastoral Letter issued by
Bishop Hall at the Lenteu Season. After
reading the letter the rector commented
favoraby on it, emphasizing the princi-
pal points.
The Pastoral dealt with the observance
of Sunday as the weekly Holy.day of
the Christian Church, NGl the growing
disregard of the day among all classes
of people.
A distinction was sharply drawn be-
tween the Jewish Sabbath and the
Christian Sunday.
The Jewish Sabbath was day set
apart to commemorate the creative
week and the Exodus from Egypt which
is presumed to have occurred on the
Sabbath or Seventh day. The Sunday
or first day of the week is distinctively
an institution of the Christian Church
held as weekly commemoration OF the
Lords Resurrection and hence called
the Lords Day. At first the Jewish
Christians kept both days, the Sabbath
or Seventh day and the Sunday or first
| day of the week. The Gentle Chris
tians, however, only kept the first or
Lords Day.
Another point brought out was the
importance of Christians assembling for
common worship as being the chiei
duty of Sunday. For the sake of this
ordinary business, so far as possible
ought to be dispensed with. While
our modern civilization requires a large
amount of work done on Sunday, this
should be reduced to minimum. En-.
ployers should provide for relays Of
workmen, so that no one would be com
PEELED to work all day Sunday, and eacf
given the opportunity OF attending te
their religious duties.
A third point brought out by thu
Bishop is Innocent recreation. Genera
attendance at service is enjoined, afte
this there is no sin in INDUCING in in
nocent recreation, such as going int
the country with ones family or few
friends. When men are employed al
the week, early and late, and have NJ
other opportunity afforded them for go
ing out of doors, to spend few hour
in the country, or by the sea side, is al
innocent recreation and not sinful. tt
spend the day in riotous conduct woul
be dissertation of the day and shoul
be condemned.
The letter was in the Bishops usua
. practical vein.
