Y.?Preaching at the Irving Square Presbyterian Church on the theme, "The Eighth Commandment," the Rev. I. W. Hender* son, pastor, took as his text Ex. 20: 15: "Thou shalt not steal." He said 4n the course of his sermon: This is a call for simple honesty, - and the need for clear and fearless thought and utterance is both iru perative and apparent as we apply thifc eighth commandment to the social life and communal conditions of to-day. ? ? TVin in f aYTtrat t> + inn of 1 UU WI1UI1VU 4UVV1 ^/A VbUV4Vu what it means to steal is quite elementary. In. the public estimation, , ' ; stealing, very largely, is a form of open and specific -disobedience to law . which will likely land the evil doer In behind the bars. It is not my purI>dse to say or to imply that the aver - .age individual conscience does not recognize .he obligations and the validity of that moral law which overlaps our penal'code. But to a large v extent the robber, in the public mind, 4 Is the man who forces locks; who spends his evenings at his neighbor's safes with dynamite and jimmy; who misapplies to his own uses our sil ver, our clothes, or our money. Ask a man, Who is a thief? and the likelihood is that often, though not al* ways, he will run the list of those who bear the insignia and the dis" honor of that self-seeking fraternity whose members live by their wits. But are the men and women who de.' clare open way upon society and who adhere to the principle that the world . owes them a living the only ones who steal? Is it the man who picks your pocket or the man who steals your sayings, by heedless mismanagement of that fortune you gave into' his trust, who robs you of most? Who is v? the most dangerous criminal, the second story burglar or the man who, under the guise or a conservative financier, wrecks your home and takes your all? Who best merits ' prison clothes, the man who steals to v? save his famUy from starvation's : grimmest death, or the millionaire of Nw^Wall street who inflates values that' he'knows .can never last? Who most deserves the scorn of honest men, the man who'cracks a safe or the. phil-: antfrropic plutocrat who made his, wealth at the price of human blood? I '"U- Tire ^consensus among those whom the lesson hardest hits is that rob-. bery Is .all right so long as you steal enough. Only the. small burglar is; ' Kto wear utripes. The sin of stealing is in being caught, and itb worst dis. Vgrace is not to be deft enough to hag 5 ^ everything in sight - Stealing is wrong and it should be ^ punished mo matter by whom < r how t ft may be committed: The k ember ?, ^ of Oongress who violates the law and i ,xcibs his country for his private gain deserves the limit of tbe penalty. The moneyed man who wrecks a cor poratlon to satisfy personal spite or secret grudge, should wear the irons }L-Xtogether with that other of his com-' pany who represents, as a real in-; vestment proposition a property that vJg chiefly air, paper and water. The jk* business man who underpays his labor and" hugs the lion's share of '''? ? +/> himcalf with r\n pftp JMH' |>1 Ulll? m uiwsvti., oe^n or care for the toilers who made possible his material success, is a fjdef. The rich man who raises prices and lowers wages, without i right or need, to such an extent that! .poof men have no decent chance to 12Yfs, steals more than money. 1% Vniou shalt not steal," says the f - Jotemandment,'and to my mind's eye ^liere comes the vision of that cotton \. xrilE in the sunny southland. I hear! ' the whirr of wheels, the rattle of: S\ tae ltiomv the roar of leather belts, . th? shouting of the mill boss: and there, in among ^bat bnstle and clat-i ter and ceaseless racket, I see mere children watching wheels, Instead of t?rda; , tending cotton when they . should be at their books; growing fek old ' and blunted In "body, mind and " ^spirit; when thjey should be* learning \ : lessons to God's wonderful out-ofdoors. Mere children driven into ? slavery by the laziness of lying par. ents or the greed of northern capital. \And what you may see to the cotton 'mills of Dixie, yon may see in the ' glass works of New Jersey, the mines of Pennsylvania, or In the sweat kT- shops of New York. Is such stealing I . V wise? * The amount of wholesale and unrestrained robbery that takes place ih our public lffe is enormous. It would seem that the sense of honesty is on the decline did we not know ""? ?111? ? rto nnn. w, tetter. 1110 Cilliucr ui tuc Wl* sciences of a host of men who admin~ later the affairs of the plain people is not very large. Dishonesty is, > -strangely, even yet, with many lead ers id onr political life, a synonym f ? for assured success. "Thou shalt not I steal" is left out of their moral code, i To be honest, to be square, is, with ; thjem, to be marked for defeat. When we read in our daily papers of the shameless frauds perpetrated '. upon the Government by corpora-V';' tions, by and with, tbe consent of those who make and those who administer. our laws; when we learn ' ' from time to time that hosts of men . V and women are ruined by get-richqttlck syndicates; when we find daily inetanps? nf wholesale defalcations by men of trust and repute and former seeming probity; when we see the /.-''expressed will of the sovereign citi? * zenshipof self-governing communities f made .the football of political brit gands; and whole States beneath the J /power of political buccaneers; is it I any wonder that we feel at times that L the sense of the unrighteousness of Hf stealing has been abandoned by many ^in control ol affairs in public life? W\ ^ We need an enlightened public con. science. Men must be made to feel ' and to know that corporate and pubnic thievery, as private, are contrary to the law of God. Statesmen who wink at and foster robbery of the . v; treasuries ought to be returned to f 'private life, if nothing more. Politicians who are out for graft must be relegated to the. rear. Clean men must cuj the way to the regeneration y ?I our social life. The crowd of unwholesome and immoral civic para. mtes who despoil and besmirch com. , . ; , 2' . t . ? " ' : . . ' ' * : . > inunal life should be removed from power and influence. "Thou shalt not steal" said Moses. So says Christ to us. All that Moses asked of Israel, Christ demands of America. No man can steal and be plumb to the law of love. With the entrance of Jesus the heart will seek to give rather than to get; and with the soul that walks with Moses' God, the right will ever reign supreme. But despite all the unwholesomeness around us, the signs of the times presage a glorious transformation that is near at hand. Whatever may have been the evil sowing of yesterday, and whatever may be the alarming harvest of to-day, we need not fear' for the harvest of tomorrow. The Lord is coming into His own. Society is coming to its senses and better men are moving 10 the front. The dormant will of a mighty people is awaking and woe betide the wicked charlatan who fails to see the writing on the wall, or seeing, fails to heed it. And the awakening will come nlost largely, as in the nature of the case it ought, among the common people of the land; those at whom the unphilosophical slander is so often hurled that they are not worthy to be trusted because they are so fickle, so foolish and so weak. That ' a social regeneration and moral revival is taking place in society no man may, with* reason, doubt. It is in the air. Men are applying moral standards that for years we have never, or seldom, heard employed in the judging of individual and public actions. The* newspaper to-day blazes the trail ahead of the pulpit, and many an editorial handles the ethical cudgel more forcefully and effectively than many a sermon. Men, within and without the church, are" asking for more decisive, concrete, fearless ethical preaching from the pulpits of our land. Ecclesiastical authorities are hesitant about receiving the money of ouf tainted millionaires, not because they are convinced that money itself can partake of the moral qualities of the individual who possesses it, no matter how bad a man he may be or however flagitiously his money may have been acquired, but because they do not want to become suspected of being receivers of stolen goods or lay themselves open to the charge, just or unjust, of compounding wickedness. Reform movements are rife, and the "bottom plank of the reformation platform is, almost without exception, in substance, * the Eighth WoTd of the Mosaic law. Now and again we hear it said that those wno promise us reform will, in their turn, when they shall have entered into power, exploit the people for their own advantage, as has been Mone of yore. I do not believe that this is so,' as I read and interpret to-day's events; but of this I am sure, that they, who betray the confidence of the people under the prom- I ise of a clean reform, wil) go down, j at a later day, to a political disaster beside which the downfall of an Arnold will he counted tame. Hand in hand with the moral reformation, a religious revival which I shall purify men's souls will , sweep the land. Spiritual blessedness "and "joy and peace in a holy spirit" will become the chief desire of men's hearts. Having tried the" comfort that the world gives and found it faulty, men will seek the peace of God which passeth all human comprehension, which the world cannot give and which the world cannot take .away. "Let us place our trust in*the God of Israel and of America. Let us fate( the Inture wtth a cheer." Plowing Around a Rock. *1 had plowed around a rock la tme of my fields for about five years," said a farmer, "and I had broken a mowing-machine knife against it, besides losing the use of the ground in t which it lay, because I supposed that: it was such a large rock that it would; take too much time and labor to re-! -U- fn.dav TirV> on T hofilD IIXUYC 11* JL/UL^V'UU; ) Tf ~ to plow for corn, I thought that by, and hy I might break my cultivator against that rock; so I took a crow-' bar., intending to poke around it, and j find out the size once for all. And it: was one of the surprises of my life; to find that it was little more than I two feet long. It was standing on its j edge* and was so light that I could; lift it Into the wagon without help.'* i "The first time you really faced your trouble you conquered it," I replied aloud* but continued to enlarge ' upon the subject all to myself, for I do believe that before we pray, or better, while we pray, we should look . our troubles squarely in the face. . ! We shiver and shake and shrink, and sometimes we do not dare to pray about a trouble because it makes it seem so real, not eyen knowing what we wish the Lord io do about it, when if we would fac? the trouble and call it by its name one-half of its terror would be gone. The trouble that lies down with us at night, and confronts us on first waking In the morning, is not the trouble that we have faced, but the trouble whose proportions we do not know. . Let us not allow our unmapped trouble to make barren the years of our lives, but face it, and with God's help work out our salvation through it!?Advocate. The Great Weaver. ' ii'- +1?

A Milwaukee Chef Will Go to Sea In a Turtle Cannery. Three Milwaukee men have conveived the brilliant idea of bringing into close proximity, through the agency of a floating cannery, the green turtle off Central America and the soup torero of the United States. The floating cannery will saH to Oosta Rica under its own canvas, <can a cargo off turtle soup and being li back to the States. The promoters of the company are Joseph Oberhoifer, a chef, whose duty is to prepare tflie soups for a big hotel; John EL Restle and \vilUam Siegmeier. Mr. Oberhofer -said: "We have incorporated for $35,000. I have done this before. In 1895 I went with a ; -schooner from New; York to Central Americf. The trip' cost $18,000 and we realized'$46,000. "We hired natives to turn the turtles over on .the beach and get them to the ship. Fifty cents was paid for turning flEty for landing them. Each weighs two or three hundred pounds. The turtles go np on the low islands at night to lay their eggs. They are turned, and in the morning six or eight of them are tied together and got into the water. They make their own way to the ship, for they naturally try to get into deep water. Their location is kept by a little flag tied to them. "We are going to New York to get our vessel. It will not cost more than $6,000. Then we will have to have a cooking outfit, captain and a mate, three sailors and a tinner to solder ,the cans. Mr: Seigmeier and I will go, and Mr. Restle will stay here to ! lock after this end of the business. Mr. Siegmeier will attend to the boiler and- steamer for the canning and. I will make the soup.

The feature of the investigation, concluded in KnoxviHe, Tenn., Wednesday, by the interstate commerce commission, into the relations of the Southern railway to coal lands and the questions, of car supply and distribution, was the evidence of T. S. McManus, until recently general superintendent of . the 'Southern railroad. Mr. McManus resigned his position on October to taise acuve management of the Sterling and Winona coal mines in the Middlesboro district He testified that he owned stock in certain Middlesboro coal companies, while serving as general superintendent of the Southern railway. He said he resigned a position paying him $9,000 per year to take a place paying $5,000. This, he said, was because his family was sick much of the time in Washington, and he himself was threatened with a physical breakdown He has moved his family to Knoxville. He denies he is, or expects to be, an officer of the Manring coal exchange, saying he considers the Sterling mine property a splendid investment and will operate it He says he x)wns fifty shares of 'Sterling Coal company stock, for which he paid cash, or its equivalent, and that it was a bona fide sale. He also swore he owned 100 shares of Winona Goal company stock paying $3,000 therefor, a par value of which is $10,000.
