sis ordinary silk hat on his unfortun

»im en route till he approached the

jabinet, looking out of the window,
«aw the motley War Minister ap

it his uuceremouious appearance.
L'lioy chaffed him without mercy, and

Subject: "DUlioneit Transaction*"—One
of the Crying Evils or Modern Life le
the Abuse of Trust—Beware of the Web
of Peculation—Advice to Business Hen.
TEXT: "Whose trust shall be a spider's
web."—Job vlll., 14.
The two most skillful architects in all the
world are the bee and thespider. The one
Cuts up a sugar manufactory and the other
ullda a slaughter house for file?. On a
bright summer morning when the sun
out and .ihlaes upon the spider's
web, bedecked with dew, the gossamer
structure seems bright enough for a sus
pension bridge for aerial beings to cross
on. But alas for the poor fly which in the
latter part of that very day ventures on it
and ii caught and dungeoned and de
stroyed! The fly was iuformed that it was
a free bridge and would cost nothing, but
at the other end of the bridge the toll paid
was its own life. The next day there
eomes down a strong wind, and away go
the web and the marauding spider and
the victimized fly. So delicate are the
tllken threads of the spider's web that
muny thousands of thorn are put together
before they become visible to the human
eye, andit takes 4,000,000 of them to make
a thread as large as the human hair. Most
cruel as well as most ingenious is the
spider. A prisoner in the Bastille, France,
had one so trained that at the sound of the
violin It every day came for its meal of
flies. The author of my text, who was a
leading scientist of his day, had no doubt
watched the voracious process of this one
Insect with aao.tb.ec and saw spider and fly
swept down with the same broom or scat
tered by the same wind. Alas that the
world has sa u\auy designing spiders and
victimized flies!
There has not been a tlme> when the
atter and black, irresponsibility of many
men having the flnuncial interests of
others in charge has been more evident
than in these lust few years. The bank
ruptcy ot banks and disappearance of ad
ministrators with the funds of large estates
and the disordered accounts otUnited States
ofllclais have sometimes made a pestilence
of crime that solemnizes every thoughtful
man and woman and leads every philan
thropist and Christian to ask, What shall
be done to stay the plague? There is ever
and anon a monsoon of swindle abroad, a
typhoon, a slrocoo. X sometimes ask my
self if it would not be better for men mak
ing wills to bequeath the property directly
to the executors and officers of the court
and appoint the widows and orphans a
committee to see that the former got all
that did not belong to them. The simple
fast Is that there are a large number of
men salUug yachts and driving fast horses
and members of expensive clubhouses and
controlling country seats who are not
worth a dollur If they return to others
their just rights. Under some sudden re
verso they fall, and with afflicted air seem
to retire from the world and seem
almost ready for monastic life, when in two
or three years they blossom out again, hav
ing compromised with their creditors—that
Is, paid tUeai nothing but regret, and the
only difference betweeu the second chap
ter of prosperity and the flrst is that their
pictures are Murlllos Instead of Kensetts
find tholr horses go a mite in twenty sec
onds less than their predecessors, and in
stead ot one county seat they have three.
I have watched and have noticed that nine
out of ten of those who fall in what is called
high life have more means after than be
fore the failure, and in many of the cases
failure Is ouly a stratagem to escape the
payment of honest debts aud put the world
off the trick while they practice a large
swiudle. There !g something woefully
wrong In the fact that those things are pos
sible.
First of all, I charge the blame on care
less, Indifferent bunk directors and boards
bavlugiu charge great Unanclal institu
tions. It ought not to be possible for' n
president or cashier or prominent officer
of n bunking institution to swindle it year
after year without detention. X will under
take to say that If these frauds are carried
ou for two or three years without detec
tion either the directors are partners in
the infamy and pocket part of the theft or
they are guilty of a culpable neglect of
duty for which God will hold them us re
iponslbleas Ho holds the acknowledged de
rmuders. What right have prominent
business men to allow their n iraes to be
published as directors In a Unanclal insti
tution so that unsophisticated people are
thereby inuuced to deposit their money lu
or buy the scrip thereof when they, the
published directors, are doing noth
ing for the safety of the institution?
It Is a case of deception most
reprehensible. Many people with a surplus
t>f money, not needed for immediate use,
although it may be a little further on iu
dlspousable, are without friends competent
to advhe them, ;md they are guided solely
by the character of the men whose names
are associated with the institution. When
th<» crash camo and with the overthrow of
the banks went the small earnings and
limited fortunes of widows and orphans
and tlio helplessly aged, the directors
Btood with Idiotic state, and to the inquiry
Of the frenzied depositors and stockholders
who had lost their all, and to the arraign
ment of an indignant public, had nothing
to say except: "We thought it was all
right. We did not know there was any
thing wrong going on." It was their duty
to know. They stood in a position which
deluded the peoplo with the idea that they
were carefully observant. Calling them
selves directors, tbey did not direct. Th.y
had opportunity of auditing accounts and
inspecting the books. No time to do so?
Theu they had 110 business to accept the
position. It seems to bo the pride of somo
moneyed men to be directors in a great
many institutions, and all they know is
whether or not they get their dividends
regularly, and their names are used as de
coy ducks to bring others near enough to
be made game of. What first of all is
needed Is that 500 bank directors and In
surance company directors resign or at
tend to their business as directors. The
business world will be full of fraud just as
long as fraud is so easy. Wheu you arrest
the president and secretary of a bank for
anembezalement carried on for many years,
be sure to have plenty of sherilTs out the
same day to arrest all the directors. Tbey
are guilty either of neglect or complicity.
Wo must especially deplore the misfor
tunes of banks in various parts of this
country in that they damage the' banking
Institution, which is the great convenience
of the centuries and indispensable to com
merce and tho advance of nations. With
one hand it blesses the lender, and with
tho other it blesses the borrower. On
their shoulders are the Interests of private
Individuals and great corporations. In
them are tho great arteries through which
run the currents of tho nation's life. They
have been the resources of the thousands
of financiers in days of business exigeucy.
Thoy stand for ncrcommodation, for facil
ity, for individual, State and national re
lief. At their head and in their manage
ment there are as much interest aud moral
worth as in any class of men, perhaps
more. How nefarious, then, the behavior
of those who bring disrepute upon this
venerable, benignant and God honored in
stitution.
We also deplore abuse of trust funds be
oause the abusers fly in the face of divine
goodness which soeins determined to bless
this iund. We are having a sorb sof unex
ampled national harvests. The wlient
gamblers get hold cf tho wheai, aud the
corn gamblers get hold of the corn. Tim
full tide of God's mercy toward this laud Is
put back by those great dikes of dishonest
resistance. When God provides enough
food and clothing to feed and apparel this
Whole nation like princes, tbe scramble of
dishonest men toget more than their share,
aa4 get It at all hazards, keeps everything
shaking with opoertflinty and everybody
asking "What next?" Every week makes
new revelation?. How many more bank
pres(U9pti and bank cashiers have been
speculating with other people's money, and
how many more bank directors are In im
becile silence, letting tbe perfidy goon,
the great and patient God only knows! My
opinion in tbnt we have got nerr the bot
tom. The wind lias been pricked from the
great bubble ot American speculation. The
men who thought that the judgment day
was at least 5000 years off found it in 1898
or 1897 or 1896. And tills nation has been
taught that men must keep their hands
out of other people's pockets. Great bus
inesses built on borrowed capital have
been obliterated, and men who had noth
ing have lost all they had. I believe we
are on a higher career of prosperity than
this land has ever seen, if, and if, and if.
If the Brst men, and especially Christian
men. will learn never to speculate upon
borrowed capital—if you haVe a mind to
take your own money and turn It into
kites to fly them over every cpmmon in the
United States, you do society no wrong,
except when you tumble your helpless
children into the poorhouge for the public
to take care of. But you have no right to
take tbe money of others and turn it into
kites. There Is one word that has deluded
more people into bankruptcy tban any
other word in commercial life, and that Is
the word borrow. That one word is re
sponsible for all tbe defalcations and em
bezzlements and financial consternations
of the last twenty years. When executors
eonclude to speculate with the funds of an
estate committed to their charge, they dc
not purloin; they say they only borrow.
When a banker makes an overdraft upon
bis institution, he does not commit a theft:
he only borrows.
If I had only a worldly weapon to use on
this subject, I would give you the faot,
fresh from tbe highest authority, that
ninety per cent, of those who go Into wild
speculation lose all, but I have a better
warning than a worldly warning. Prom
the place where men have perished—body,
mind, soul—stand off, stand off! Abstract
pulpit discussion must step aside on this
question. Faith and repentance are abso
lutely necessary, but faith and repentance
are no more doctrines of the Bible than
commercial integrity. "Bender to all their
dues." "Owe uo man anything." And
while I mean to preaoh faith and repent
ance, more and more to preach them, I do
not mean to spend any time In obasing tbe
Hittltes and Jebusltes and Girgaghltes ol
Bible times when there are so in any evils
right around us destroying men ana wom
en for time and for eternity. The greatest
evangelistic preacher tbe world ever saw,
a man who died for his evangelism—peer
loss Paul—wrote to the Bomaps, "Provide
things honest in the sight of all men;'
wrote to the Corinthians, "Do that which
is honest;" wrote to the Phlilpplans,
"Whatsoever thing? are honest;" wrote to
the Hebrews. "Willing In all things to llvu
honestly." Tbe Bible says that faith with
out works is dead, which, being liberally
translated, means that if your business life
does not correspond with your profession
your religion is a humbug.
Gathered in all religious assemblages
there are many who have trust funds. Il
is a compliment to you that you have been
so intrusted, but I charge you, in tbe pres
ence of God and the world, be as careful
of tbe property of others as you are care
ful of your own. Above all, keep your own
private account at tbe bank separate from
your account as trustee of an estate oi
trustee of an Institution. That is the point
at which thousands ot people make ship
wreck. They get the property of others
mixed up with their own property; thej
put it into investment, and away it ull
goes, and the.v cannot return that which
tiiey borrowed. Then comes the ejplo
slon, and the money market Is shaken,
and the press denounces, and tbe church
thunders expulsion. You have no right
to use tho property of others, except foi
their advantage, nor without cousent, un
less they are minors. It with their consent
you invest their property as well as you
can and it is all lost, you aru not to blame.
You did tho best you could- But do not
come into the delusion which has ruined
so inauv men of thinking because a thing
Is in their possession therefore it i9 theirs'.
You have a solemu trust that God has
given you. In any assemblage tljero maj
be some who have {misappropriated trust
funds. Put them back, or If you bav«
so hopelessly involved them that ypu
cannot put them back confess tho whole
thing to those whom you have wronged
aud vou will sleep better nights and you
will have tho better chaaco for your soul.
What a snd thing it would be if after yev
aru dead your administrator should And
out from the account books or from th«
lack of vouchers that you are not onlj
bankrupt In estate, but that you lost yom
soul! If all the trust funds t'iat have been
misappropriated should suddenly fly to
their owners and all tho property that has
been purloined should suddenly go back
to its owners. It would crush intc rube
overy city In America.
A missionary in one of tUe islands ot the
Pacillo preached on dlsboneaey. nod the
next morning lie looked out ot his window
and he saw ills yurd full of goods of alt
kinds, lie wondered and asked thu causa
of all this. "Well," said yio natives, "out
gods that we have been worshiping permit
us to steal; but according to what you auld
yesterday, the God of hea\en and earth
will not allow this. So wo Irlng back ail
these goods and we ask you to help
us in taking tbem to the placts where tbey
belong." If next Sabbatb all the ministers
in America should preach sermons on the
abuse of trust funds and on the evils ol
purloining, and the sermons were all
blessed of Uodand regulations were mad«
that nil tbesu things should be taken tc
the city halls, it would not be long before
every city ball in America would be orowded
from cellar to cupola.
Let me say in the most emphatic man
ner to ull young men, dishonesty will never
pay. An nbbot wanted to Vuy a piece of
ground and the owner would not sell it,
but the owner finally consented to let it
to him until he could raise one crop, and
the abbot sowed acorns, a crop of 200
years! And X tell you, young man, that
the dishonesties which you plant In youi
heart and life will seem to be vary iusig
nillcant, but they will grow up until they
will overshadow you with horrible dark
uess, overshadow all time and all eternity.
It will not be a crop for 200 years, but "a
crop for everlasting ages.
I have also a word of comfort for all
who suffer from the malfeasance of others,
and every honest man, woman and child
does suffer from what goes on in
financial scampdom. Society bso bound
together that all the misfortunes whioji
good people suffer in business matters come
from the misdeeds of others. Bear up un
der distress, stroug in God. He will see you
through, though your misfortunes should
bo centupled. Scientists tell us that
a column of air forty-ilve miles
iu height rests on every man's head
and shoulders. But tbat Is nothing
compared with the pressure that business
life lias put upon many ot you. God made
up His mind long ago how many or how
few dollars it would be bast for you to
have. Trust to His appointment. The
door will soon open to let you oat and let
you uj). What shock ot delight for men
who for thirty years have been In business
anxiety wltou tbey sliHllsuddeuly awake In
everlasting holiday! On the maps of the
Arctic regions there a-o two p aces whose
names are remarkable, given, 1 suppose,
by some polar expedition— Jape Fare

Tlin Saloon Not a Necessity.
To the Editor—Sir: The saloon is not a
necessity, There Is no need ot man that
the saloon (Ills. This very agitation is evi
dence that the people's conscience is being
pricked because of the nubile toleratlou of
an awful evil that is dally perpetrating the
most horrible curse upon humanity, and
specially upou the workingman, and still
more, cruelly treating tho innocent wife
and children.
Necessity? Why? Because there is
money in tho business, money for those
who fatten upon the llfeblood sapped from
tbe vitals of tho tollers ot our land, and
this selflsh Interest simply purchases the
privilege for the saloon to exist for the
further gain of its promoters. The curse,
the blighting, devastating curse of the su
loou cannot be hidden by the assertion that
the saloon Is the worklngman's club. If it
is his club, it Is used only by him to brain
his wife and beat all tiie joy, bope and
honor from the hearts and lives of his off
spring, who have a right by the sacrednoss
ot birth to tho sheltering care and protec
tion of a father in the full control ot his
senses, and of tho home fellowship of raith
ful parents. The saloon robs theiu of this
enjoyment.
The saloon Is not philanthropic. It docs
not exist for the sake of providing social
relaxation for tbe weary. Any association
it affords only servos Its deadly purpose
the more. The wife and children need not
only social relaxation, but relaxation from
disgrace and dishonor, abuse and pinched
poverty, and from the more trying neces
sity of wearing poor It not ragged clothes,
and from tiio harrowing necessity of eatlog
hardened crusts while tbe saloon knoper's
wii'e aud children revel in their purple and
Hue linen and faro sumptuously overy day.
A necessity? An institution a necessity
that robs tho nation of over ablillou a vetir,
sends 100,000 drunkards to their graves,
makes 50.000 orphans, 20,000 widows, causes
"000 suicides, a loss to the nation ot $lO,-
000,000 through tiro and vloleuce, aud
causes pureuts under its deadly, stupefying
Influences to overlay '2500 llt'.iu innocent
ebiidreu every time we count ity-two
Saturday nights lu the United Stats aud 1<
the cause of ninety-seven per cent, of all
crimes I
A necessity? Never! Bavolutlon moves
.lowly. but Just as suro as the sun shines,
just so surely is public opinion closing lu
jn the saloou. You may not soe it and 1
may not, but what sometimes will not hap
pen in 100 years happens In a day, aud some
day, and that day is not so far distant
either, the tide of sentiment will be
aroused against tho saloou aud distillery,
because of their constant menace to so
ciety. and this fearful institution will be
lifted from our body politic and dropped to
the nethermost beli.
Until then, welcome, thrice welcome, to
any agency that has for Its purpose tho
lessening of intemperance, whether it be
through the coffee wagon, tho mercy seat
or the ballot box. But hail to the glud day
when It shall be no more!
I desire to have It clearly understood that
the foregoing is not in any way intended us
a criticism to the remarks of Bishop Potter.
I regard bis remarks as Intended to bo a re
buke to the professed friends of humanity
and the moruls of tho people whose duty it
is to restrict the saloou and to provide
places of respectable resort fur the laboring
man. William Bbkwer.

"It Never Paid Mo Better."
In an address at the recent annual meet
ing of tho United Kingdom Alliance, held
at Manchester, England, Rev. Charles Gar
rett said:
"I met with a brewer, a good man in his
way, who had been a member und office
bearer in our church for years. He was a
man Kindly, generous, ready to help any
body in distress, and with a kindly word
for anybody in trouble. He met mo, and
we had a hearty shako of the hand. He
said; 'Well, Mr. Garrett, I suppose you are
as earnest in teototallsm as ever.' 'Yes,' I
said, 'rather more.' 'Well,' ho said, ' It's
all righth, you know; It pleases you und it
doesn't hurt me. Tho fact If, I was never
doing better than I am doing now.' Not
long afterward I saw Ills second son come
out of the yard In delirium tremens with
three men struggling with him, ft tine
young fellow, and broad-chested. I saw
them as they wrestled with him, his veins
standing out like ropes on his forehead,
aud his eyes Hashing. I saw him fall; they
carried him In. Half an hour afterward I
heard a whisper, 'he is is dead,' aud I went
into try and coiutort the family, and when
I entered the room, there was tne body,
and on that sldo was the mother drunk,
and on the other side wns the brother
drunk. A 9 I stood and looked on that hor
rible scene I heard that father's words
ugaln, 'lt never paid mo better.' "

"DEAR MRS. PINKHAM —WiII you ' jffipr
kindly allow me the pleasure of ex- |fjfl VISiS
pressing my gratitude for the wonder- |sgj
ful relief I have experienced by taking HH / A^jSl
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com- [/> lil\ h
pound. I suffered for a long time \ w
with falling of the womb, and those hH Y1
terrible beariag-down pains, and it Mk \|
seemed as though my back would never gOM* e!
stop aching; also had leucorrhoea, dull B
headaches, could not sleep, was weak
and life was a burden to me. I doctored |a
for several years, but it did no good. Eg|
My husband wanted me to try your Kf
medicine, and I am so thankful that I W
did. I have taken four bottles of the |
Compound and a box of Liver Pills, and I
can state that if more ladies would only give your medicine R
fair trial they would bless the day they saw your advertise
ment. My heart is full of gratitude to Mrs. Pinkham for what
her medicine has done for me. It is worth its weight in gold."

has been proposed to blow down with
mines the wliole mass iu one great
avalanche, aud so end the prevailing
terror.—J3erue correspondence of the
