The pulpit of a little Eastern church has long stood Just enough to one side of the platform to disturb the congre gation's sense of proportion; but any protest mot with a quick rejoinder from the aged minister. , The wife of the sexton, taking mutters Into her own bands, says the Church Econo mist, moved the pulpit toward the cen ter an Inch a week, and gained her point, though It took time, for the old doctor never noticed the difference. Some citadels must needs be stormed from the front, but more victories are won and more reforms Inaugurated by methods which do not antagonise, and In which tact Is Joined to perseverlug moderation. When a millionaire dies In these lat ter days people who hear what the amount if his fortune Is are apt to say that conditions are changing and that such things wilt not be possible fifty years from now. And yet It Is safe to say that In spite of changed conditions and new methods in business and In dustry, there will always be men bold, self-reliant' and aggressive, willing to take aud give blows, who, when tbey die, will rank as millionaires, Just as did the men who begun their life ca reer a generation ago. The estate of the. lute OOorge M. Pullman Is estl mated at 125,000,000 and It Is not so long, as we measure time nowadays, since he first begun to accumulate that wealth. The methods by which some of It was galued may be criticised, and yet they were the methods that almost every man In whom tflee. dwells a spirit of restless activity would adopt. The spirit of money-getting Is not con fined . to , the business man, and al though moralists may declaim against It from an abstract standpoint. It has developed enterprise and stimulated Industry, and weldqd the great body of the people closer together In the bonds of common Interests. Oth er fortunes have been left by men In this couniry: at the magnitude of which the world bo wondered, i They have been the slow accretions of gen erations. The founder of the family made a lucky Investment Just as men do to-day, and bought land with the proceeds, and as a city was built up and Its commerce began to grow, that real estate grew with It and no burden was attached to Its care, and after a time It represented millions, and the heirs drew a princely Income without having lifted a haud In toll and with out ever having set their nerves stir ring In the fierce battle which so many men have to fight This class of for tunes mny not be heard of much In the future, but the fortune that Is made by hard and unremitting work, by keen judgment and y the ability to take advantage of existing conditions Is still a possibility. And, after all, one can not help admiring the man who takes ventures and risks, and whom failure cannot dnnnt, rather than the man who has simply Inherited the wealth with which he dazzles the world.

Just now she was a bit out of temper. "Express 2S04," she culled Impatiently. And as she waited for the desired num ber she turned aud looked at Virginia, who, quite overcome by Hie heat or was It for some other reason hnd seat ed herself at no groat distance off and was wielding a palm leaf fan energeti cally. The pretty woman turned abruptly to the 'phono In response to a call. "Is this Express 1!MM?" she said. "It Is Byron's number," Virginia mut tered to herself. "1 thought so." The woman at the 'phono spoke again: "This Is Mr. Curtis, la It not?" Vir ginia ceased fanning and scarcely dis guised the fact that the conversation Interested her. "Yes. I am Miss Cleavebrook." con tinued the womnn In the linen gown. Then, "Yes, please." A short pause ensued. The drug store cuckoo clock struck 2. Virginia ex citedly Imagined what Byron Curtis must be- saying at the oIIkt end of the phone In his otllce. high up In ono oi the down-town buildings. Miss Cleavebrook Interrupted her thoughts. "Yes," she said, and Vir ginia fancied perhaps that her voice took ou a more tender 'one. "Same place," she continued, with lit tie laugh. "Hid you? I'm so glad. Thank so much for the flowers. You reallv mustn't send them so often. It's too extravagant of you." Irglnla gave a little start "Theater again this week?" questioned Miss Cleavebrook doubtlngly. "I really think twice a week Is too often." But the mnn with whom she was talking seemed to overcome her scru ples, and after agreeing to go with him on Friday evening of that week she snld: "Why dou't you ask me why I called you up?" Theu, seeming to forget that sue wna in a putillc place, she laughed merrily at the response that came back over the 'phone. Finally she snld: "No, It wasn't that. I want very much to see that book of 'After Dinner Speeches' you spoke of. Can't you bring It to me this evening? No? Well, to-morrow, then. What are you going to do to-night?" The fair questlouer seemed but little pleased at the answer she received. She tapped her foot Impatiently, and It wns a full minute before she Broke. Virginia funded she heard Byron saying: "I am going to call on Mis Allen to-night." For bud he not asked If he might come over to see her Tues day? Miss Cleavebrook recovered her tem per. If Indeed she had lost It and said: "I thought I told you to drop that?" Virginia rose hurriedly and walked to the front of the store. "It la Insup portable," she muttered to herself.

Virginia turned from the 'phone with a happy feeling of thankfulness thut was almost a pain. The man who had been watching her stepped quickly to- n-nril hpr. "Byron!" she said, with a little glad cry, holding out both hands to him. "Virginia," he auswered, "It Is Tues day." "Yes," she said softly, "It Is Tues day." "And " questioned he. "Yes, again," she murmured, even lower. A drug store Is not a very romantic plnce. but I think that those two told each other everything In the look they gave each other, quite unmindful of the little clerk, who flippantly mixed an egg phosphate for the next customer.

Alfred Doucaster hnd loved the beau tlful girl from the moment he hnd first seen her, and he hud fondly believed that she looked upon lilm with more than ordinary favor. The strong, handsome young man sighed, and was silent for a long time. At lust the sweet maiden said: "Try to be brave, Alfred. Look at me. See how I am bearing up." He turned toward her In wonder, and said: "Why should you bid me do this? What have you to bear up under?" "Oh, Alfred, If you only knew!" "Evangeline!" he cried, catching her In his arms and holding her In a strong embrace, "you love me! Ah, darling, you cannot hide the truth from me! Tell me It Is so!" "Yes," she snld, "I love you, Alfred." "O heaven," he groaned, "this Is ter rible, terrible. Oh, If you only hated me loathed me! Then my fate would be less bitter." She was frightened, and drew away from him. "Why," she asked, "do you want mo to hate you?" "Ah,'Mie answered, "I might bear my. own burden, but how can I survive kuowlng that you, too, suffer?"

In the year 1S20, uuder the authority of the State of New York, an enumera tion of the lawyers entitled to practice at the State or local courts was made. The regulation for admission to the bur at the time were simple aud easy to comply with. Neverthelesa there were found to bo only three lawyers on Staten Island, thirteen In Westchester, sixty In Albany, and forty-five In On ondaga. Monroe County had not then attained the distinction which It has hnd since the growi of Koehcster Into a city, and It hnd within Its borders only seventeen lawyers, white Colum bia County, which has Bluce given to the bar of the State ninny learned Ju rists, had thirty-two, and Dutchess County fifty-two. The people of Long Island were even less Inclined to liti gation then than they are now, for In the whole of Suffolk County there were six lawyers only, In Queens County there were but two, and In Kings County (It Is very different now) there were three only. In Broome County were three law yers, In Greene twenty-one, lu Putnam three, In Steuben twelve, and In Tioga fourteen; but perhaps the lawyer of that period who enjoyed what might In these days be called an easy snap was the one member of the New York bur who resided In Orleans County. After 1820 there was a large Increase of lawyers In New York State and In 1834 they .numbered 2,084. New York Sua. THE MONUMENT TO HIS MEM ORY AT ALTON, ILL.

He entered the Prince ton Theological Seminary lu 1832, and wus licensed to preach ffyenr Inter by the Philadelphia Presbytery. Keturn Ing, however, to St. Louis, he wns us Bisted by friends In the founding of a weekly newspaper, which he culled the St. Louis Observer. The Drst number appeared Nov. 22, 18IUJ. The slavery question wns then agi tating the community, and it was Im possible for a man of bis positive con victions to keep still on such a vital subject During the summer of 18114 he formnlly announced bis opposition to the whole system of slavery, and there by began his troubles. His editorials soon begun to be tnlked about, yet they would rend as very mild utternuces to day. They are significant also lu thut they prove thnt Lovejoy wns not an abolitionist He snld In his own col umns: "Gradual eninnclpatltn Is the remedy we promise. This we look up on as the only fenslble nnd, Indeed, the only desirable wuy of effecting our freedom from the tbriilldoi lu which we are held. In the meantime the rights of all classes of our. citizens should be respected, aud the work j posed, carried on nnd finished ns oue lu which all classes are alike Interest ed, nnd In which all mny be culled up on to make sacrifices of Individual In terests to the gencrnl welfare of the community." On nnother occasion he snld thnt emancipation should be ef fected "by the musters tnd no others." He hated Bluvery, but appreciated the poultlon and feeling of the slavehold ers, and frequently stated .hat it wns a untloniil aud not a sectional evil. Yet even this line of argument wus bitter ly resented, and under cite of Oct. 5, 1S35, a lett.r was sent to him by a com mittee of St Louis clt!ztn8 command ing thnt be cense talking of slavery In his paper. He refused flatly and In an editorial raid: "The free communica tion of thoughts nnd opinions Is one of the Inalienable rights of man, nnd any person may freely speak, write or print ou any subject, being responsible for the abuse of thnt liberty." In the clos ing paragraph he thus declored him self: "I do, therefore, ns an American citizen and Chrlstlnn pntrlot. In the name of liberty, law and religion, sol emnly protest against all these at tempts, however and by whomsoever made, to frown down the liberty of the press and forbid the free expression of opinion. Under a deep sense of my ob ligations to my country, the church nnd my God, I declare It to be my fixed pur pose to submit to no dletntlon. Aud I am prepared to abide by the conse quences. 1 have appealed to the Con stitution and laws of my country; If they will full to protect me I appeal to my God, and with Him 1 cheerfully rest my cause." This brought a re quest for I-oveJoy to resign as editor of the Observer. He did so at once, but the paper was In debt and the stock was turned over to a Mr. Moore, who replaced him In charge, and they de cided to bring the plant to Alton. This was reconsidered, however, and the pafter continued. In April, 1830, a ne gro was lynched. The Observer de nounced the lynching as a disgrace to the community, and when the Judge of the local court quashed proceedings against members bf the mob. chnrae terlxlng the act as "beyond all human Inw" hla ctlou was lu turn attacked as disgraceful and demoralizing. A few days later the Observer office was entered and the plunt ruined. The press was not destroyed and wns shipped on Sunday to Alton. The same night It was wrecked and dumped Into the river. A public meeting followed In which the peoplo promised to secure another outfit for the paper. The pub- '.-'AI ' lOVBJoVS 0FF1CB. llcntlon of the Observer wns resumed Sept. 8, IBM- " was uninterrupted until the following August Lovejoy wrote without Intermission on the sub ject of sluvcry, and meantime contin ued bis religious work, being modera tor of the Alton Presbytery when be died. The St Louis opposition, however, soon manifested Itself there, and off July 11, 1837, a public meeting pro tested against the course of the paper and appointed a committee to Intercede with Lovejoy. He received tha delega tion politely, but In cold dlsdnlnea.f their mission. The trouble culmlnuted as usual. The plunt wns totally de stroyed on the night of Aug. 21. The seme night a committee of vigilantes waylaid Lovejoy on a louely road aud Informed him that they had decided he was a nuisance In the community and proposed to tar and feather and set him adrift on the river.. He lis tened calmly, and then snld: "Gentle men, I am In your bauds, with neither the power nor the disposition to resist. I have, however, one quest to make. My wife Is dangerously HI and I was on my wuy to town to have a prescrip tion tilled. If one of you will pledge his word to tukc It and have the medi cine prepared and deliver It at my house without letting my wife know whnt hos become of me you mny do with me what you wish." There was profound silence for a moment and then the leader said: "Boys, I can't touch him. He Is too brave a mnn." DEATH SCENE. And he was allowed to go In peace.' On Sept. 21, another press arrived. It wns destroyed the same night. Then Love Joy thought of removing either to St. Chnrles, Mo., or to Qulncy. But he was not disposed to run away from trouble, and on the advice of friends be re mained and ordered a ne.w press. In anticipation of Its arrival another public meeting was beld, with the ob ject of persuading the editor to tnke a new course. Then It was that be made bis dying declaration, which rings yet as the keynote of. bis life and of American Independence: "But, gen tlemen, as long as I am an American citizen, and as long as American blood runs In these veins, I shall bold myself nt liberty to speak, to write, to publish whatever I please ou any subject, be ing amenable to the laws of my coun try for the snme." On Nov. 0 the fourth press arrived and was placed In the warehouse of Godfrey & Gllmnn. U wns successfully defended thnt night by a committee who tendered their ser vices to Mayor John M.

That ended the trouble. The mob at once retired nnd no further demonstration was made.
