Carnegie Pensions DIR. Foy.
(St. Louis Republic

w. 1Sot1 ANPaDAtS'I
DR.. Joseph FL. Foy, former principal
of the old Shields and Patrick Henry
schools, has been p~ensioned by An
drew Carnegie, his double.
DR.. Foy not only looks like the iron
master, but is nearly as old as Gar
negie, who was rs years last Noyem-
Der. DR.. Foy is 76.
DIR. Foy was given a pension of $50
a month for distinguished services as
an educator for the last fifty years.
The multimillionaire had before him
Endorsements from all over the United
States paying the rarest tributes to
the veteran schoolmaster, and the
Laird of Skibo ordered his private
secretary to put Or. Foy's name on
his private list.
DR.. Foy is loved in the Ghetto Of st.
Louis as possibly no ether man in the
entire city.
When he was principal of the old
Shields School, he made 1t his business
almost every day to visit the homes
of the poor, bringing to the hewilder-
ed Jewish families substantial relief,
such as medicines, doctors, food and
clothing, paid for out of his own
pocket.
Many a boy and girl will remember
his practical kindness as long as he
lives.
The Shields Patrick Henry School
Alumni Association some years ago,
composed mostly Of Jewish children,
had an oil painting made Of the doc
tor and presented ii to the Patrick
Henry School, where it hangs in a
place Of honor.
DIR. Foy began his educational career
in 1854, as principal Of the male de-
partment Of Wilson College, in North
Carolina.

DIR. Foy received the honorary de-
gree of Master of Arts IN 1877, from

The University OF North Carolina

tor of Divinity in 1881, and three
years later he was similarly honored

In his earlier career he served a
notable pastorate in Columbia, Mo-,
as minister of the Christian Church
there.
While there he wrote a manual
which is used by thousands of minis
tiers all over the country.
But DIR. Foy always made teaching
the principal business of his life. In
1898 he was appointed principal of
Shields School, then on Seventh street
between Carr and Biddle streets, now
Father Timothy Dempsey's Hotel.
He remained principal until 1904,
when the Board of Equalization
changed the schools name to Patrick
Henry and built a new structure for it

Billy Sunday and his Sermons.

-
Correspondence to the st. Louis Globe
Democrat.)
In last Friday mornings issue of
your paper 1 read on the first page that
the Church Federation of st. Louis, by
a vote of As to 1, had decided to invite
Billy Sunday, the evangelist, to st.
Louis. felt sorry for our city when
I read it. On an inside page of the
paper there was a dispatch from
Chicago which told of the Presbyterian
ministers protesting against i'm
modest apparel, salacious literature
and the publicity given to discussion
of the sex problem. Now, as n
citizen of st. Louis, I wish to say the
invitation to Billy Sunday is a mistake
and will result in much harm, to the
young people of this city especially,
who may be tempted to hear this
buffoon in his alleged sermons for the
salvation of men. 1t is hard to believe
that a band of such ministers as we
have in this city could be guilty of
inviting such a man to come here in
order to help the cause of Christianity.
If Christianity really needs the help
of such sermons" as this ignorant
and audacious fellow breaches to
those who go to hear him, Christian
ity must certainly be in a very bad
way.
Your report of the meeting says
that ''not Il Episcopalian minister
was present." Their absence is GER
tainly to their credit, but if they had
gone to the meeting and voted to a
man against inviting this blatant and
Ignorant pulpiteer they would have
deserved even better of the fellow
citizens of st. Louis.
l submit just a few sample utter
ance of Billy Sunday, at meetings
where he was invited, and when read
they offer sufficient justification Of
the statement that many men and
women have left their church after
a man of his stamp had been invited
to their city.
Here are a few of his utterances:
"Stand up there, you bastard
ev%olutionist; stand up with atheists
and the inidels and the whoremongert
and the adulterers and 60 to help
eff any minister believes and
teaches evolution, he is a sinking
skunk, a fraud, a ~hypocrite and 9

fore the undertaken squirts you full o.
embalming fluid, you're a goner.
bud"
"I would like to see the color of the
bucks hair who would put his arm
around my wife"
And these r not the worst. Invite
Billy Sunday? Ugh! am constrain
ed to believe that the good minister
of the federation never heard Billy
Sunday. If they had, l do not belivt
they would have extended him al
invitation. @. P. FRANCIS.

THIS bit of interesting, not to say
instructive, reading, | take from the
news columns of the Publishers
Auxiliary:
Prohibition Commissioner Fred o..
Blue of West Virginia, who has charge
of enforcing the new prohibition
amendment in West Virginia, which
becomes effective July /, has ruled
that newspapers published outside of
West Virginia, and carrying liquor ad-
vertisements as a part of their legitl-
mate business, will not be barred from
circulation in the state. The statute
prescribes that liquor advertisements
shall not be circulated in the state.
Mr.. Blue says that outside newspapers
will not be molested unless it is APP
parent that newspapers are being
used for illegal purposes.
Lordl Lord! How we grow in statu-
tory righteousness! How the all-em-
bracing fad of keeping our brother is
expanding. We not only keep liquor
from his lips but shield his sensitive
and too pervious soul from wicked
thought of the forbidden draught,
type impelled and seductively half
toned. Seriously speaking, could
crazy usurpation in prohibition legis-
lation further 60 than in this West
Virginia instance?

DR.. Wolf says he is a Democrat, but
