The evils of British rule are on the
surface: exploitation, absentee gov
eminent, the hill station where Off
cialdom retires from contact with the
people, press law which Surendra-
nath Banerjee, "the uncrowned king
of Bengal" says IL possible only be-
cause of the good character of the
administrators; too much whisky-and-
soda and too little helpful, personal
intercourse with the natives; certain
imperiousness which apparently looks
down on all things non-British. 1t is
chasing fyspecks to discuss these and
other smaller evils. The American
looks with disapproval, but he remem-
bers his own treatment of the negro
in the South and the false impressions
given of that treatment in Uncle
Toms Cabin and other works of fic-
ton, and he forbears criticism.
With all its defects and its evils, of
maladministration, Of greed and jim
goism, the work of the British in In

Curzon, ablest Of modern viceroys, 'is

VETERAN OUSTED,
TO FIGHT CASE
Former Sergeant Knox Dropped
from Rolls of Kearny Home
for INSTRUMENTATION.

Dropped from the rolls of the Sol
diers' Home. Kearny, by order of the
board of managers, after charges had
been preferred against him by Act
ing Commandant Richard Drever, Ed
ward Knox, veteran of twenty-seF IN
Civil War battles, declares he has
Governor Fielders personal promise
to make an investigation and see that
justice was done him.
The trouble leading up to yester-
days action started year ago, when
charges were preferred against Cen
erai T.. Burd Grubb, who has since
died, who was at that time COM
mandant of the home. Knox wanted
to testify in favor of Grub, and he
says he got in bad" with Drever. At
any rate. a month ago brewer re-
duced him from his position as ward
sergeant, alleging that he gave pass
to man whom he knew did not de-
serve one. Knox then appealed to the
board of managers, charging that
Drever was not giving him a square
deal. The latter made counter
charges of INSTRUMENTATION.
When the board met to consider the
case Knox says he was neither al
lowed counsel nor permitted to sum-
mon witnesses in his behalf. Knox
has instructed his counsel to appeal
TO the Supreme Court for a writ of
certiorari, and he will also lay the
matter before Governor Fielder.
"They told me if | would say moth
ing about this to the newspapers they
would give me an honorable dis
charge and when | refused to agree
to this | was summarily dropped
from the rolls" said Knox.

WELCOME TO ADJ
MEN IN TORONTO
Leaders Among Them Conduct
Services in Churches
of City.

TORONTO, June 22.-The tenth an
nual convention of the Associated
Advertising Clubs of America, was
opened here today. More than 1000
American delegates are present. The
visitors stormed the various city
churches yesterday, twenty-five SER
mons being preached.
Norman Hapgood conducted serv-
ices at the big Broadway Tabernacle
with pastoral mien, persuasive voice
and orthodox dogmatism. He pleaded
for religion to spiritualize business
and business to make of itself a
religion. and condemned the get-rich-
quick tendency of modern times.
Fire Commissioner Robert Adam
son, of New York, preached at the
Parkdale Baptist Church and said
that advertising men are in a fight
for ideals in business and to stamp
out debasing practises. New York, he
said, had set lesson to the world
by it's recent ordinance making it an
offense punishable by Imprisonment
to advertise by false or misleading
statements.
1.-THE people are at the end of our
religion. Let us talk less about build
ing up the church and more about
building up the people," was the mes
sage of Charles Stelzle, sociologist
and author, who preached in Bond
Street Congregational Church.
I'VE are endeavoring to drive from
the temple of advertising the liars,
the takers, the swindlers and those
who seek to blast the lives of
the innocent" asserted Frank Leroy
Blanchard, of New York, to the Sher-
bourne Street Methodist congrega-
ton.
Peter Clark MacFarlane, who spoke
at st. Pauls Anglican Church, de-
scribed religious advertising as 1.-THE
Sapolio of the SOUL" saying that ad-
vertising had remade industries and
could remake the church. 1t was not
heresy, he continued, to say that some
change was needed.
THE world wants the church to be
a fact, not fancy" he commented
to be force, not a form"
From the text, "Give Us Eyes That
We May See." Joseph H. Appel, di-
rector of publicity for John Wanna
maker, read his congregation a per-
tinent lesson.
This is a spoiled, a peevish and a
soft generation" said he. Surround
ed by all blessings and benefits, we
are.full of sniveling and crying Nali
the young men who come to me for q
Job ask for an easy one. They DOM
realize that the opportunity for great
work Is around them as much as il
was around the twelve apostles. The
ambition of the average man and
woman seems to be a heaven of per
petual theatres, fun and things they
don't deserve"

LOAN Of BILLION
FOR GOOD ROADS
Senator MARITIME in Back of
Plan of Government to
Aid States.
Especial to the Evening start

WASHINGTON, June pa billion
dollars for good roads was practically
decided upon at meeting of the
Senate postroads committee today. 1t
is not planned that he government
shall spend that muh money out of
it's treasury or even issue bonds to
that amount. What is planned for
the various States which wish to i'm
prove their good roads is to issue
bonds, which will be guaranteed to
the extent of $1,000, 900 in all by
the federal government 7
A State which does not wish to go
any further into debt for its roads
need not come into the scheme at all,
and it's only contribution to the ma
tional cause will be that its shares
in the guarantee of the bonds, which
practically amounts to nothing at all
to the States, but a great deal to
those who do the borrowing.
Senator MARITIME, of New Jersey, one
of the foremost advocates of the plan,
said today he hoped the bonds could
be floated at "a to "a per cent,
whereas if the States themselves
foated the bonds on their own credit
they would have to pay 4 per cent.
1t is probable that the bill will be
reported out this week, the commit
tee having entirely sidetracked the
Shackleford bill, which has already
passed the House, appropriating $780,
900, 900 directly out of the national
treasury for the building of good
roads.

OFFICER INDICTED
IN EDISON|A CRASH
PLEADS NOT GUILTY
ZelInnan and o'Grady to Face
Charges of Fraud Growing
Out of Failure.

Thomas OGrady, jr,, secretary Of
the Edisonia Company, whose affairs
have been in the United States and
Chancery courts for many months,
surrendered himself to the Common
Pleas Court today and pleaded not
guilty to two indictments charging
him with obtaining money under
false pretenses.
Mr.. O'Grady was accompanied by
Frank A. Boettner. his counsel, and
as soon as his plea had been accepted
by Judge Harry Y. Osborne bail was
fixed at $4,000, which was furnished
and O'Grady released to await trial
at date to be fixed.
In the indictment against O'Grady
William d. Zellman, president of the
Edisonia Company, is jointly named
and is now on his way to this city
from the West to plead to the charges
against him. Mr.. Boettner, who is
also counsel for Zellman, says he ex-
poets his client here within the next
forty-eight hours.
The Indictments charge Zellman
and O'Grady as president and secre-
tary of the Edisonia company with
obtaining approximately $4,000 from
the Union National Bank of this city
by means of fraudulent bills of sales
of pianos
In one indictment in which the de-
PENDANTS are charged with obtaining
$4,000, June 10, 1872. 1t is charged
that on that date Zelman and
O'Grady represented to the Union
National Bank that the Edisonia
company owned 1873 written con-
tracts purporting TO show they had
sold that number of pianos on leases
the pianos to be paid for on the in
stalment plan.
On June "A, 1872 it is alleged the
sum of $4,000 was obtained by sim
liar methods, 80 pianos figuring ir
this transaction. The indictments
further recite that the pianos were
not owned by the Edisonia company
The indictments are bulky affairs
owing to the fact that the alleged
leases of each of the 257 pianos fig
uring in the indictments are given
together with the address of the
lessee and the number of the piano
leased.
Mr.. O'Grady refused to discuss the
| indictments while at the Court House
today. Mr. Boettner, speaking fol
him, said O'Grady was in Kansas
until last Friday night, when he was
informed by telegraph that indict
ments had been found against him
| He at once took a train for this city
and on his arrival went to Mr. Boett
ner's office and thence to the Cour
House.

FIRE DAMAGES
CLAFL|N HOME
Beautiful MorristoWn Residence
Partly Burned-Fireman
Overcome by Smoke.
Especial to the Evening start

MORRISTOWN, June 22.-Fire to-
day destroyed the attic and part of
the third floor of the palatial resi-
dence of John Clafiin, the New York
dry goods merchant, on South street.
The loss is set at $1,000.
About $3.50 o'clock one of the SER
wants smelled smoke and upon inves-
tigation found the attic filled. Mrs.
Claflin was notified and telephoned
police headquarters, from where an
alarm was sounded.
The fire proved q hard one to fight
because of the stone outside walls and
a slate roof. Under the direction of
Chief Wilbur F. Day, jr., a hole was
cut through the roof and the seat of
the fire located. One fireman, David
Burr, of Independent Hose Company
No. 1, was overcome by smoke and
was carried out of the building by
Alderman r. Ralston Reed and a re-
porter.
While the fire was eating its way
along the beams in the attic and
down a dumbwaiter shaft, the SER
wants in the kitchen were preparing
bread and rolls for dinner. Help
about the place was called in and un-
der the direction of Mrs. Claf1in re-
moved a large quantity of silverware
and valuable paintings and furniture
from the house.
