WOMEN HAVE LOST RELIGION.
Scathing Arraignment of Her Follies
Made by New York Minister.

The automobiles and jewels and
opera cloaks and rivers of wine are
witnesses to the presence of 1000
millionaires in New York" asserted
Rev. DR.. Christian F. Reisner, an
eminent clergyman of that city. in
the course of sermon the other
night. Later on in his discourse he
said few pointed things about wo-
men. Woman" he declared. "has
time for theatres; she keeps UP her
clubs, including the bridge whist or
ganization; she has time to clamor
for votes with street corner speech
es; she is learning to smoke cigar
cites; she gives Sunday night din
ners; she can study the latest low
cut styles; but she has lost her relig-
ion.
Dogs and dolls to the exclusion
of children bring divorce, and
though no woman on earth can
match those of America in physical
beauty and social accomplishments
their character sare often devoid of
the beauty of religion. They do not

THE old-time mother did not vote,

voters and otficeholders who could

DR.. Reisner spoke of the old-fash-
Toned family prayer and grace said
at thevtable and prayers told at the
mothers knee. All these are vanish

all the other best influences of the

BATTLE FOR A CORPSE.
Shipment to Americas Starts War
at Railroad Depot.

The spectacle of two coIored un-
dertakers fighting like tigers for
possession of a corpse shipped to
Americas for burial confronted pas
sengers alighting from a Seaboard
Air Line train in that city. One I'M
dertaker, Joshua Simmons, with ca
parisoned horses and hearse, was re-
moving the casket from the train
when Dennis Barnum, the rival I'M
dertaker, undertook to "scoop" the
remains instead. In the battle re-
sulting Barnum was knocked cold
with brick, and ere he recovered
Simmons had captured the prize and
departed in triumph.
The undertakers' battle created
intense excitement in colored circles.
