INSPIRING SERVICES.

At tle Second PrcSbyterion Church
Sunday morning Rev. DIR. Allison had
as theme, Faith, "a third iua series
on fundamentals. At the evening SER
vice the text was Job 7:6 My Days
Ate Swifter Than Weaver's Shuttle. "
1t was an appropriate sermon Tor the
close OF the year. 1t was On the swift
ness of time, the flight OF the years and
the hreyity OF human life.
DR.. allison said in part: Time is a
blessed gift OF God and how important
it is to use it and not abuse it. Nothing
is Of more real value than time, yet
how prodigally men waste it. The DAYS
months and years Of human life come
and 60, like the Ieavcr's shuttle. God
never gives two moment at one time,
it is moment by moment.
The longest life is the we'll spent life.
it must not be counted by the calendar,
for I'VE live in deeds, not years, IN
thoughts not breaths, in feelings and
not tigurea on the dial. He most lives
who thinks most. feels the nob.est,
acts the best" Jesus recognized the
swftresS OF time when he said, i must
work the works OF Him that sent me
while it is day. The scholarly Grotius
had az bis motto the hour hastens
and Walter Scot, said the years rush
by like .he winds. The trumpet call
then is to use the golden now for the
glory OF God and the upIift Of human
itv aud if He shall give a New Year
with its opportunities and blessing to
give every minute something to keep
ia store" DR.. Allison spoke OF the
splendid music rendered by the choir.

nois or Western Indiana, is dead
Death came shortly before 5 O'Clock
Saturday morning at the family resi-,
dence, I15 Franklin street, after m

maining there until 1876, when he
came to Danville. On his arrival in
this city he opened q store at Main and
Walnut streets, later removing TO East
Main street and has been in business
on that thoruughfare for nearly two
score years. He was actively engaged
in the operation OF the Elliott 4 Son
store until last Nav when, during the
extreme hot weather, he became i'll

Labor Leaders Claim it Was an
Innocent Violation of the
Federal Statute.
SAY THAT 1T is AN OLD STORY
Compers and Kelly Mounted Table
at Oakland Which Was Draped with
Flag In Order That They Gould he
Seen by Audience.

Washington, D c., Jan 2.--Deny-
ing with all the emphasis at his
command that he had stood on an
American flag while delivering an
address at the Labor Day celebration
AT Oakland, Cal, President Gompers
OF the Federation Of Labor today
said:
Il would as lief insult the mem-
ory of my revered mother as the
flag of my country"
Gompers also asserted that he had
every reason to believe that the pic
lure purporting TO show that he
stood upon the flag was built up
and fake"
The picture which Gompers de-
clares was fake is now in the hands
of tic War Department 1t was for
warded TO Judge Advocate General
Ainsworth in protest against al
legged insults offered the flag by Ia
Dor officials.
An innocent violation of the fed
eral statute prescribing respect for
the flag which has been distorted
into an issue by enemies Of organized
labor. was the way in which Fedora
ton OF Labor officials today explained
the report that The War Department
had been furnished with photographs
and proofs OF an occasion in Oak
land. Cal, when President GomperS
and other leaders 'trampled on the
! American flag.
! According 10 officials here, the story
is an old cne. Ii was explained thar
the flag was draped over q table in
the hall at Oakland which stood on
platform behind which Gompers pre-
sided. When the labor leader arose
! TO speak. it was stated here that the
audience demanded better look at
him. and in moment Of enthusiasm
Gompers climber 10 the table top.
John 4. Kelly, president OF the trades
council OF San Francisco, who fol-
lowed Gompers in an address, did
the same thing.
No official could be found in the
War Department today who had re-
ccivcd protests in the case.

Interstate Commerce Commission
Heretofore competing lines have
been allowed 10 reduce through rates
below the sum Of Intermediate rates
if necessary 10 meet a competitor
through rate OF "a shorter line. An
other order had granted railroads
having through rates in excess oi
intermediate rates permission 10 cor
rect the rates by reducing them TO
The aggregate Of intermediate rates.
The combination of these two or
ders has worked hardship when the
longer of two or more competing
lines having intermediate rates less
in the aggregate than the sum Of the
intermediate rates on shorter lines,
has reduced it's competitive through
rates TO the sum OF its intermediate
rates. In such cases, the shorter line
has had no basis for an appeal TO the
Interstate Commerce Commission TO
reduce their through rates TO meet
the competition.
