JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER'S PASTOR SAYS
WORKERS NEED A SUMMER VACATION
The Only Medicine That Will Rest the Body and Clear tlie Brain Is to Be
Found In the Quiet Places of the lojntry.
tints TOO BUSY AND TOO CROWDED FOR RIGHT LIVING AND RIGHT THINKING
?Cartoon by Breworton, in the Atlanta Journal.
Now York City.? Tho Rev. Dr. I
Charles F. Akod, tlio high salaried \
past0* brought from England by |
.foiln L). Rockefeller, preached, his i
last, sermon for^lie summer at the!
Fifth Avenue Baptist Church, and
advised the members of his congre
gation to get out of town, rest, for
jit-'l liOilbio ??. dcbtiJ, ReVSpSpP!'?, 1r?lp_
phonos and business. City life of to- i
day, especially In such cities as'Xew
York, is almost enough to drive men
-crazy, said J)r. Aked. and the only
medicine that will rest tho body and
clear the brain in to be found in the
quiet places of the country.
"Thei-e has boon 110 day in the his
tory of the? world when such counsel
was mom needed than to-day," he
said. "There art1 no people 011 tho
face of the whole earth who have
more cause to heed it and profit by It
than we. Our cities are too vast and
too crowd ed.
"Man, like the other animals, was
meant for the fresh air and the open
fields, for the storms, the snows and
the sunshine. Rut he claps a stone
box down over his head, sets it in the
midst of a hundred thousand other
stone boxes as ugly as 1 his own,
stretching away in bewildering
squares and parallelograms, shutting
out God's air and light, until he is
ready to faint on a warm day and 1
freeze 011 a cold one, and die of pneu
monia?or terror?if the east wind
blows upon him.
"This crowded, rushing, pushing,
?crushing city life gets on our nerves.
We live too fast. We live faster than
men ever lived before. We live more
than twenty-four hours in the day
and more than seven days in the
week. We burn the candle at both
ends, and then, for fear that our
neighbor will get' ahead of us, we
light it in the middle, too. We are |
?consumed by the fever of living. We
exhaust our vital energies in unend
ing stress and strain.
'.'We have 110 time to think. It Is
as much as we can be expected to do
if we earn bread and chees? nnd lay
by a pound or two against a rainy
day. The great majority of us are
just as capable of flying as we are of
thinking. Leisure for quiet eontem
plation of the world which we live In
is denied us. There is no grass be
neath our feet, no blue sky over our
head. The world of trees and flow
ers and singing birds is not for us.
Art and poetry and gentle culture, ex
ist, only in a world of dreams. While
if'^we onco gnve ourselves pause to
meditate upon the deep things of
God and the soul, on time and Its
meaning, life and its mysteries, heav
en and the glories which we thrust
a\yav, why?wo might miss the next
car!
"The injunction which Insults n|e
every time I travel In the subway Is:
?Step lively, now! Hurry up, thoi*e!'
Hurry by all means,' for we could not
live if we did not kllj ourselves to
get somewhere else." <?
Dr. Aked repeated Lewis Morris*
"Evensong," and said: "There Is one
consideration which we cannot es
cape. What of the myriads tH our
brethren pent up In mean streets.
2 prisoners of the counting house and
the shops, slaves of the mill and the
mine of the poor and heavy laden of

words are bitter mockery, for whom
no chancing seasons bring cessation
from toil and weariness. What of
thorn in these days of summer sun
shine and joy?
"There should be nono such, ex
cept the vicious. And Christianity
cannot rest while such mortals live,
disfranchised of their right to rest
and happiness. The unaccomplished
mission of our fa.it 11 Is the redress of
every economic, inequality. There ib
no gospel which is not a gospel of so
cial service. We live to bring all
mankind into the family of God. But
meanwhile, while such poverty re
mains, while such evil conditions sad
den and appall us, what right have
we to our holidays, to our happiness?
Can we sit at our feast blindfold, or
dare we open our eyes? What right
have we to any feast, while our broth
ers starve in the midst of plenty?
None, if our lives are wrong. If we,
are living for ourselves, thinking,
planhing..accumulating for ourselves,
none. But if all life to us is a sacred
trust', if happiness is only so much
stored up energy to be expended In
divine redemptive toll, then go. keep
the feast, charge your blood and
brain with health and flood your soul
w.lth Joy.
"For the present go away and for
get! It is a counsel of perfection
and you would not follow it, else I
should say to you, go where you can
hhve no letters, no newspapers, no
telegrams, where the ring of the tele
phone bell Is never heard, and where
even the Marconi cannot come. But
at least do your best to forget. For
get your business. Forget your
debtB. Forget your debtors. Forget
that, In this world there Is suffering,
sickness or sin. ? Only remember that
the sun shines for you, the moonlight
and the starbeams are for you, the
tides ebb and flow for you, the gorse
upon the hillside, the purple heather i
and the fields dressed living green
are for you." I )
Dr. Aked said he hart no patience
with the attitude which makes a sad
and doleful thing out of the practice
and forms of Christian worship.
"Let us have done with these sol
emn hypocrisies of conventional wor
ship," he said. "Let us frankly
claim our heritage of happiness in a
world whose maker and builder is
God. One day Pacton Hood had to
preach In a Yorkshire church. It
was a glorious summer morning. A
good brother gave out:
'My thoughts on awful subjects roll,
Damnation and the dead '
"But Paxton Hood leaped to his
feet and said. 'Oh, no, they don't!
My thoughts do not roll on<anythlng
so dreadful. Let us sing:
'Come W us join our cheerful songs,
With angeis round the throne.'
"We pray God to forgive, our sins,
we ought to pray to be forgiven our
sadness. There is 110 virtue In mis
ery. The melancholy person is not
necessarily a superior person; and If
he were the superior person Is gener
ally detestable. A face as long as a
fiddle and a voico liko a crow's will
not be Imputed to us for righteous
ness. We shall not go ?0 heaven for
our tears or to hell for our smiles.
Humor Is a gi/t of God as well as pa
thos.'V
The beat way to spend Sunday or
any other hoIWhts* ?ald Dr. Aked, was
to follow Christ's *4vice to His dicl
ples: "Come ye yottr^elves apart into
a desert place and rest awhile."

Chicago.? OesflRo resistance U|) to
the last moment by his lawyers, John
1). Rockefeller was compelled to how
to the law, f?o on the stand before
United States District Judge Kene
saw M. Landis, and answer questions
like any other witness. Incidentally
ho found ht< was on a plane no higher
than any other citizen, for he came
into conflict with a bailiff when at
one moment he tried to leave the?
courtroom and was compelled to go
back to his seat and await the pleas
ure of the court.
What Mr. Rockefeller told did not
amount to much, so far as it related
to the effort of Judge Landis to de
termine iiow large a line he should
assess in the rebate case against the
Oil Trust, lie revealed Ignorance of
the Standard Oil Company's affairs.
Really his place as president of the
company was merely honorary. He
had not looked after details for
twelve years. He had not even been
to the office in eight years, lie was
not certain whether Its capital was
$100,000,000 or not, ami could only
guess that the dividends were some
where in the neighborhood of forty
per cent, of that amount.
Judge Landis, however, obtained
the information ho had sought. He
calmly overruled the multltudlous
objections of the Standard Oil law
yers and pressed questions upon
other witnesses. The most impor
tant of these was Charles M. Pratt,
secretary of the company. He had
to admit that the parent New Jersey
corporation controlled the Standard
Oil Company of Indiana, which had |
been convicted of so many instances i
of rebating that it stood liable to a !
line of $29,240,000. Under the skil- I
ful questioning of the Judge he had
to admit more.
He bore testimony that Mr. Rocke- 1
foliar did not know about details, for
the capitalization of tho New Jersey
company was a matter of almost
$2,000,000 under the $100,000,000
mark o^t by its president. Rut thi*
figure did not represent the full value
pf its properties, ho admitted, for
they were worth "vastly more." This
assertion was well borno out when
Judge Landis led him to tell of earn
ings. The yearly dividends of tho
trust had averaged about forty per
cent, of its outstanding capital, but
here was what its net earnings were
in tho three years covered by the
case at bar:
1903?SSI,300,000. 1
1 904 ? $61,500,000
1905?$57,000,000.

Outside the city limits and crashed
over an embankment, instantly kill
ing two, fatally injuring one and se
riously injuring nine others.
How the car left the track is a
mystery the traction company officials
cannot explain. It was running up
hill, around a curve, at moderate
speed. After bounding along the ties
for a short distance tho car went over
thd* embankment and landed,, on its
side, pinning the dead and injured
underneath. Motorman James and
Conductor Fitzpatrick escaped with
slight injuries. Most of the injured
were taken to the* city hospitals and
some to their homes. Several pas
sengers besides those whose names
are given were slightly hurt.
The dead: Miss Grace Markerl,

of the damage done by the tornado
are still coming in slowly and it is be
lieved that the death list will bo
somewhat Increased when all points
visited by tho tornado are hoard
from.
In addition to those killed a score
or more persons were injured, some
of .them so seriously that their re
covery is doubtful. ~
The property damage lias not been

Minneapolis, Minn.-?For the last
three yours, unknown to Its clti/ens,
jtho city of Minneapolis has boon in
I peril of destruction. The City Kn
gineer's Department mad<? known the
character of a work that lias loan
been in progress for the x .urpose of
preventing u calamity.
The entire business section of Min
neapolis Is built over a series of
subterranean lakes and caverns, said
to bo as mysterious and hallllug us
the Mammoth Cuvo of Kentucky.
Into these dark recesses waters
rushed, and the constant wearing
away of the soil cause*) a weakening
which threatened the stability of the
ground upon which the city was built.
An investigation made by the city
ollicials three years ago partially re
vealed the extent of the danger, and
showed that the peril of the city was
becoming greater daily. Ueneath the
Security National Hank, one of the
largest ilnnnclal institutions In the
city, the soil had become so honey
combed that burglars might have
worked their way undetected directly
into the treasure vaults. Another
great washout had taken place un
der the Andrus Building, one of the
tallest stuctures in the city, and had
practically undermined Nicollet ave
nue, the. thoroughfare of which Min
ueapollans always boast.
After the .discovery a hurried con
sultation or city ollicials was held, tho
gravity of the situation was discussed
and action decided upon. Working
secretly, large sums of money were
appropriated and repairs went on,
until now all danger is removed and
the city rests llrm on Its artificial
foundation. Tons of concrete have
been used, huge waterfalls have been
harnessed, underground streams di
verted, and '.he entire system of un
derground lakes lids been filled in
1 and made a firm foundation for the
city.
I The real extent of the underground
i caverns has not yet been determined,
owing to the difficulty of exploration,
and the city.will appropriate a largo
sum of money to have it thoroughly
Investigated and mapped.

CHOP CONDITIONS IMPROVED.
Railroad Official Finds No Riniinu*
tion In Traffic on RoadM.
Now York City.?W. C. Brown,
senior vice-president of the New
York Central lines, said that in his
recent trip through the West he
found that the improvement in crop
conditions had been pronounced. He
believes that If the favorable weather
in tlio West continues crops will
reach a state of development nearly
equal to that of previous years, when
the conditions earlier were normal.
Speaking more in detail regarding
weather and crop conditions in the
West, he said that warm rainB, fol
lowed by warm weather, had foreed
tho crops ahead with almost remark
able rapidity.
Mr. Drown also said that he was
unable to discover any falling off In
business in'the West or in the traffic
of the railroads. Tho New York Cen
tral lines ,are getting all tho business
they ran handle promptly. At .this
time last year these lines had 4iew
equipment amounting to about $25,
000,000 under contract. At the pres
ent time they have no new contracts
for equipment outstanding, princi
pally because of tho inability of all
railroads to get additional capital on
favorable terms. Mr. Brown belleveti
that if the railroads are compelled
to withhold orders for new equip
ment much longer their action will
not be reflected to a very great ex
tent in general business, but that nat
urally the equipment manufacturing
companies and tho manufacturer! of
the materials used in the construction
of ears and locomotive* will exper
ience a material slackening in their
output.

Chicago.? Tho Tribune swyBt
"Thirty-seven men, women and
children nro dead and 2153 ar?*

to excess of patriotism in the United
States on tiio Fourth. Tho nufnber
of tho dead does not include five
drowned during the day.
"The roster of (lie dead in four
more than last year's mortality. A
year ago thirty-three persons 'were
dead on the morning after the
Fourth, not including live drowned.
"Unfortunately, tho death roll will
increase day by day, and even tho late
dayB of August will witneBs additions
to It. Tetanus, that grim aftermath
of gunpowder wounds, claims its vic
tims by scores, and even by hundreds,
for weeks after the Fourth.
"Chicago, although the second city
of tho country, added only two dead '
to tho nation's total. Springfield,
111., supplied threo victims. Chat- .
hum, ill.,,two, and Aberdeen, S. D.,
two. No other town or^'city In the
country nave up more than one of Its
own to death.
"The total number of Injured,.
215 8, Is under last year's figures,
which weru 2 783. The figures show
that tills year, as lattf, tho most of
tho casualties were due to- careless
ness In handling firecrackers ,v and
other forma of 'harmless explosives,'
Victims of gunpowder this yoar stand
second in number, but show a marked
decrease from lost year's figures.
"The crusade against the deadlro
toy. pistol seems to be bearing frulfiT
asttils year only 205 victims are rfc?
ported, as against 304 last year."
